writers in the South: he will be remem- bered as the author of '+The kentuekians," Hell for Sartain," and "A Mountain Eu- ropa" He knows and depicts his Ken lucky life just Charles Egbert Craddock knows Tennessee or Thomas Nelson Page knows Virginia His work, "A Cumber- land Vendetta" has just been published in a new and very attractive edition with striking drawings by Louis Loeb.
 The story is strong and powerful one, descriptive of the mountaineer life of Ken lucky. The strong traits and characteris- tics of the mountaineers are depicted in an unusually vivid and masterful style. Their passionate hates and intense feelings of wrong and revenge are graphically DOT trayed while the tenderness of Rome for the daughter of his hereditary enemy is all the more impressive and winning from the contrast The character work is extremely well done; they throb with life, and are moved and actuated by the intensest emo tionS. The narrative is so well told that the reader seems to actually experience every incident and behold every occurrence. The love romance between Martha and Rome is deprived of the ordinary tenderness and openness from the antagonism and hatred manifested between the two respective families, but the climax to their love is in- geniously and most pathetieally worked out, which lends an added fervor and truthfulness to the story. The ge dine ness, brilliancy and tender human quality of the work reminds one strongly of the work Miss Will Allen Dromgoole has done in depicting the Tennessee mountaineer
 That MT. Fox is q born story teller and one not made, the reader will feel con- vinced after reading "A Cumberland Ven detta:" for he possesses fin a strong degree the necessary qualifications for the produc- ton of first class work In it we find mas terly, individual characterizations; good construction: simple, graceful style em- bellshed with glowing descriptions of na- ture: and the evidence of strong powers of visualization: the possession of which lat ter power enables the author to place his story as vividly before the minds eye of the reader as he sees it himself in his own mental image. This gives peculiar verity and credibilty to the work which is of the greatest value.

Crane Carried His satci.el

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Arthur A. Leeds of Tioga met Stephen Crane several years ago under circum- stances which showed how little the novel; ist traded upon the fame that came to him. MT. Leeds got off a train at Delaware Wa ter Gap. The only man on the platform was bumped against the side of the depot gazing into space. He looked like a farm CTS boy. His trousers were baggy, his coat battered and his hat rowdy.
 Say, carry this stuff to the hotel for me, will you?'' asked MT Leeds The man grasped the bags and started in the wake of MT. Leeds toward the hotel
 When the hotel was reached MT. Leeds lost sight of his porter for a few minutes while he greeted friends Looking around for his baggage he saw the man who had packed 1t to the hotel sitting on the piazza with his legs on the railing. He was read ing a book.
 Who's that man?" asked MT. Leeds.
 'Oh, that's stephen Crane" some one said. The next day Crane left the place before MT. Leeds had an opportunity for explanations.

THE KENTUCKY SITUATION.

The Kentucky State Court OF Appeals
has decided that 1t has no jurisdiction
to review the action of the Legislature
in declaring ]. @. w. Beckham COVER
nor of that state. The decision was
made by six judges out of seven, four
Democrats and two Republicans unit
ing in the majority opinion, and one
Republican judge dissenting.
The two Republican judges who re-
luctantly came to the conclusion that
acts of the Legislature, accompany
their opinion with n declaration that
in their opinion Governor Taylor was
elected, and that the Legislature, in de-
claring Beckham governor, has over
riden the will of the people of the state
as expressed at the polls.
An appeal has been taken to the SUI
preme Court of the United States, and
1t is the understanding that there shall
be no more war in Kentucky until
that decision is rendered. If it goes
against Governor Taylor, on the
ground of jurisdiction, he will probably
resign his office, although there is no
doubt that he was fairly elected. If
the Supreme Court decides that it has
jurisdiction, and decides in Taylor's
favor, Beckham will be called upon to
renounce his pretensions. Whether he
will do so remains to be seen.
A good deal of sarcasm has been di-
rected at Kentucky during the political
troubles that have resulted from Goe-
bells high-handed proceedings, and his
subsequent assassination; but, on the
whole, the people of the state, and its
politicians in particular, seem to have
exhibited a remarkable amount of self
restraint. The Republicans, especially,
after having been tricked out of their
well-earned victory by n tyrannical
partisan law. have showed n most
praseworthy desire to keep within the
bounds of law and order in resenting
the suppression Of the suffrage and
the nu,fYfyation of the will of the ma
jority as expressed at the polls last
November.

Silver Republicans Return.

"The Silver Republican party has no
reason for further existence. Those of
the party who believe with Mr.. Bryan
in anti-expansion. in hauling down the
flag, in giving back what our soldiers
have won with their blood, in lending
aid and comfort to the enemy by dis
| loyalty to the government at home.
should go where they belong, and that
is to the Democratic party. But I be-
| lieve that nine-tenths of the Silver Re-
| publicans of the coast are back in the
Republican party, or about to get
| there"
Thus spoke former Senator Lee Man
tie of Montana, who, rumor says. will
be the candidate of the reunited Re
publican party for governor in his state
this fall. Mr. Mantle is sitting in the
subcommittee of the federal industrial
commission at the Auditorium, and
yesterday he consented to be inter-
viewed concerning the political situa-
ton.
"Silver was the paramount issue of
1896. Seventy-five per cent. of the Re-
publicans in Montana then were hot
for silver. Mr.. Bryan said nothing else
could be discussed or done until silver
had been established. On the silver is
sue, and that alone, we voted for Mr..
Bryan. In other respects, such as pro-
lection, we held with the Republican
party.
Two years ago the Democrats, Sill
yer Republicans and Populists met in
three conventions in Montana and de-
clared individually for silver. But the
Democrats ignored their allies of 1896,
and in their greed of office shut us out
along with Populists. Then they pro-
ceeded to make the name of Montana
byword and Il reproach the length
and breadth of the land. They smirched
our fair name with the senatorial scan
dal. The Republicans of Montana feel
that they have had about enough of the
Democracy in their state. The war
came. The Philippines dropped into
our lap. The Democrats want to give
the islands up, and they have preached
disloyalty. The West has felt already
the commercial influence of expansion.

Chief Justice David J.. Snodgrass of
the Supreme Court of Tennessee, deliv-
cred another patriotic address last
week on the subject of the permanency
of American interests in the Philip
pines. The occasion was the farewell
banquet Mt Memphis to General Luke
Il. Wright, the only southern member
Of Mr.. McKinley's new Philippine
Commission. Judge Snodgrass said:
Republican government is govern
men of consent. Its extension is a
matter of similar consent by it's own
people, but 1t is n refinement too deli
cate for practical comprehension or ap-
plication to say that every enlargement
Of its power or change of its boundary
must wait the consent of included terri
tory. The whole theory and practice
of the fathers are against it, and it is
revived now only to demand con-
struction, and to be given an applica-
ton of which its author never thought,
and under which those who Joined in
making it never acted. Besides, who
could consent in the Philippines? 1t is
agreed that they are wholly incapable
of government. 1t is agreed that
they are unable to protect themselves
against foreign intervention. 1t is not
them, or should now abandon them,
they would at once be taken by one or
more of the great world powers, and
who could prevent it? No, the fact is,
they are ours, consenting or not con-
senting, and for permanent retention.
The world understands this. We un-
derstand it, however much we may ca
vii or profess to disagree. 1 assert,
and I assert n conviction so intense as
to be to me an apparent reality, that
there is no great body of people in
America who seriously think that the
flag of our country will ever be pulled
down in these islands as loug as our
government endures.''
And again this lifelong Democrat
said, addressing General Wright di-
rectly:
''Do not be uneasy about a temporary
character attaching to your work; it
will be final-it will be permanent
There are enough Americans with
stout hearts beating high patriotic fer
vor and loving eyes fixed upon that
flag, whose stripes are crimsoned in
our brothers blood, to see that it floats
forever"
We commend these stirring remarks
to the attention of that other Tennes-
see Democrat, the Hon. James Daniel
Richardson, whose voice just now is
potent in the councils of certain eau
Gus organization at Washington.
There is better Dtmocracy, there is
more genuine Jeffersonianism, and
there is truer American patriotism in
the little finger of Chief Justice Snod-
grass left hand, than in the combined
cranial and cardiac system of all the
House Democrats who are willing to
follow Mr.. Richardson's lead in par
tisan attempt TO take the flag of the
United States out of the Philippines mt

In paper read before the Manches-
ter Literary and Philosophical society,
entitled, "On Internal Migration in
England and Wales" Professor Flux
gave an account of the results of the
net inward and outward movement in
each registration district of England
and Wales in the interval between the
censuses of 1881 and 1891. Measuring
intensity of movement by the proper
ton of net migration to mean popula-
ton, the absorption is most marked in
the London suburbs, and in convent
emily situated watering places. These
movements indicate some amelioration
of the evils of life in crowded cities
The districts from which efflux has
been strongest are found in the south
west, in Wales, on the Scotch border,
and in northeast Yorkshire and Lin
colnshire. Movement from a district
in one county to one in another coun-
ty involved a transference of about
172,OOO males and 100000 females,
whilst some 41S,010 males and 201 900
females left the country.

police with the avowal that anarchists
wished to make him their instrument

The man seemed sane, but no corro-

he broke out into anarchistic threats.
Acting upon this hint. Professor Lom-

discovered that after he had drunk a
certain amount he developed violent
criminal tendencies, all recollection Of

his mind when the effects of the alco-

Probably never in the history of the
world has the prospect for general
warfare been so manifest as it is at the
present time. This is most deplor-
able commentary on the boasted civili-
cation of this age. But the circum-

awfulness of the prospect is in the
fact that the nations that pretend to
be the most highly civilized are the
