erarY Iniuenees
In one of the criticisms on q recent
story by Henry James the remark was
made that it was really worth trans
lating into English. One OF the most
inexplicable things in modern litera-
ture is the detestable style that Mr..
James has developed in recent years.
He used to write with the utmost clear
ness and simplicity, and no one could
for a moment doubt that his style was
his own. Now he is more involved and
complex than George Meredith and one
can hardly resist the conclusion that
he deliberately set to work to Guilt
vate the style that now afflicts him and
distresses the reader. There is no ex-
cuse for this lapse into English which

1t is reported by the island captains
that the anchorage for sailing vessels
at Eleele is becoming unsafe. The
mornings have drifted close together
and the result is that the sailing vessels
can not moor as safely as they should,
having to depend on their own anchors.
The moorings should be relaid, it is
said, for a heavy kona might pile a
sailing vessel on the rocks.

Tuesday evening It came up on its sec
ond reading, and was passed finally un-
der suspension Of the rules, and is
now law.
"A representative OF the Register
yesterday interviewed number of bus
mess men. and, without exception, they
condemned the measure and Council
alike, charging the latter with hasty
action. One very prominent citizen
said
There should, undoubtedly, have
been a more deliberate action by Coun-
Gill; The franchise is very valuable
one, practically covering all the streets
of the city, and all available inlets and
outlets 1t blocks any future enter
prise by another company and was
manifestly intended to have that effect
1t is my opinion that undue influences
were exerted on Councilmen. Strings
have been pulled in private, and sup
pers and other refreshments to members
of that body don't look well. especially
when there is something important up
for action. The members of Council
certainly disregarded their duty TO their
constituents, and at the least acted with
unseemly haste. The ordinance was not
of such character as called for imme-
date action. 1t certainly should have
been maturely considered, and its prob
able effect weighed. This was not done.
The evident ebjecs. was to get 1t through
as soon as possible, and all means to
accomplish that end were used. | don't
like it, 1t resembles too much sim
liar action by theWheeling Council some
time ago, when an ordinance was rush
ed through in one night, without even
a reference to a committee
Another business man said: 1T is my
opinion that Council should have acted
with more care. The manifest haste
shows beyond doubt that influences
were brought to bear to get the meas
ure through, to the end that the Ohio
Rapid Transit Company might be in
a position to command the street car
situation against all corners. There
was no effort to leave an opening for
ANYBODY else, to exact compensation, to
inquire into standing or intents and
purposes, or to do any OF those things
naturally occurring to business men,
The thing to do was to pass the ordi-
nance under a suspension of the rules
and the programme was put through as
mapped out. The interests of the town
were temporarily forgotten or ignored.
That sort of legislation cannot stand
investigation, and is subject to criti-
cism. 1T Is decidedly bad public pol
icy, and CeunctlMen must be prepared
for that indignation that every fair
minded citizen feels"
One member of Council said last night
that the action of the body was I'M
doubtedly wrong but that he found all
the other members lined up. He said:
1T was great mistake but now, of
course, it is too late TO rectify it"

..THE PAPER TRUST.

This is the title of the last paper is
sued by the New England Free Trade
League. 1t is from the pen of John
Norris. business manager of the New
York Times, whose testimony before
the Industrial Commission has already
been commented upon in these col
umns. Mr.. Norris paper is interest
ing and highly instructive, coming as
it does not from a despised "theorist,
but a practical man of business, who
has been intimately connected with the
paper trust.
A more typical tariff trust than the
International Paper Company it would
be hard to find. The starting point of
this gigantic monopoly was the pro
lection" afforded it by increasing du-
ties on paper and paper pulp to the
prohibitory point Mr.. Norris shows
how quickly after securing this tariff
aid they organized the trust with wa
tered capitalization, and how complete
ly they hold the newspapers OF the
country by the throat. and exact from
them every year $4,S8o,00o extra in the
cost of paper. Protection" alone has
made this possible.
Mr.. Norris shows how the Interna-
tional Paper Company has broken ev-
cry promise and disappointed every ex-
pectation held cut to Congress and the
public when it was securing lis pro-
hibitery duties. The vaunted econom-
les of combination turn out to be
merely some reduction in labor cost,
which is more than Offset by the in
creased salaries of high officials. The
enormous capitalization of $45 200, 900
is one-haf water, a burden of itself
many times greater than any possible
economies can bear 1t has arbitrarily
advanced prices, rendered poorer SER
vice, and failed to increase its for
eign trade. It's chief aim and effort has
been by getting possession of'the spruce
forests of North America to render its
monopoly permanent and impregnable;
and, if permitted to WELD the power
granted it by the present tariff on pa
per and pulp few years longer, it will
probably succeed.
The abolition of the so-called pro
lection" would effectually cure this
case as it would most others. 1t would
relieve the people and other lines of
handicap, and would place the paper
industry on a proper, legitimate and
businesslike basis. g.
