AS Its name indicates. this is an cpl
tome of the worlds literature from the
earliest known writings to the present
time. Extracts from the writings OF
great authors in all lands and OF all
times have been carefully selected and
compiled into ten volumes. published I'M
der the editorship of Julian Hawthorne.
John Russell Young and John Porter
Lamberton. To gather together and COM
press into ten volumes even a synopsis
Of the worlds literature has required
genius.
Its plan, in brief. is TO give, under a
classification partly chronological and
partly national, groups Of extracts from
the writings of the masters. and TO pre-
face these with such biographical ana
critical notes as may be essential 10 in
telligent reading. To exempIify the SYM
with which the selection of extracts has
been made. 1t may not be amiss to cite
one author, and perhaps none is mora
popular, and hence none better adapted
for this example than Longfellow. After
a short biography Of the poet, the ninth
volume gives the following from his writ.

One of the most important considera-
tons in a work of this kind Is the IA
ciiities afforded for it's use, and this COLI
lection is admirably indexed. Each VOL
ume contains a well arranged table OF
contents, and in the last there are three
indexes of the whole work-a blagraph-
ical list Of authors, a chronological view
OF the contents arranged by nations. and
a large general index of subjects. authors
and extracts from their works.
Any notice would be inadequate which
did not speak in most favorable terms OF
the beauty OF this work, viewed purely
as a matter Of ~bookmaking. 1t Is printed
on especially made paper in large clear
type, and the volumes. although large.
and not heavy or cumbersome, and are
well and strongly bound. There are a
large number Of very excellent i~lIustra-

OUR SILVER ~CONINDRIM

1t is a peculiar condition of things
when counterfeiters can make a profit
by coming silver dollars as valuable
from a bullion point of view as the
dollar made by the mint.
What is the remedy? Some radical
gold standard advocates say the doub-
ling of the amount of silver in a dollar,
or the reduction of the amount of
gold in the gold dollar by one-half,
making the coinage ratio, say 80 to L.
Either way the value of the gold in the
hands of the gold kings would be
doubled and the value of the silver in
the hands of the people cut in half, a
bunco game which even the Hon.
Mark Hanna would not undertake to
father.
What then is the remedy since we
are assured that free coinage at the
present 16 to l ratio is dead beyond all
hope of resurrection?
This is a Banquo's ghost that will
rise up at the festal board of the
twentieth century until it is finally
laid by intelligent and honest TWEEN

Injunction Until it Gets More

Special to the Register.
FAIRMONT, w. Va, January 6.-Some
time ago Fay Watson was granted an in
junction against the Fairmont Suburban
Electric Railway, of which company
Bernard McMechen, of Wheeling, is now
the owner, restraining the company
from proceeding further with its work
along a certain street in this city, owing
to its n~arrowness. Able counsel was en-
ployed and the case argued in court.
The judge has handed down what might
be termed a preliminary decision. and
says that this injunction prohibiting the
building of this railway should be con-
tinued in force until it be made to ap-
pear TO the court that it's construction
and operation will not exclude the abut-
ting land owners and travelling public
from reasonable and necessary use of
the street. individuals and the general
public should be willing to suffer incon-
veniences, and they may be compelled
by law to do so, rather than necessarily
retard or obstruct useful public enter
prises, but there is, in my judgment, no
reason founded on good morals or sound
public policy why one class of people
should be injured without adequate rem
edy for the benefit of another. If the
street is not wide enough for all the
purposes to which it is deemed desirable
to put it, council has authority to widen
it. The city authorities should increase
the width of the street or limit its pres
ent capacity"

"A few years later hostilities broke
out between Austria and the combined
forces of France and Italy. Austria
was overcome in the battle of Softer
inc, and was Obliged to surrender her
Italian provinces.
In 1870 the Franco-Prussian war
took place, which proved so disastrous
to the French empire. Beside an
nous war indemnity, France was COM
PEELED to transfer to Prussia two of her
provinces, Alsaco and Lorraine.

1t is stated that this campaign will
cost England six hundred million dol
lars.
And how does our own country
stand on the subject Of war? Although
the cornerstone Of the Constitution is
peace with all nations and entangling
alliances with none, we have had on
our hands four wars in the century just
brought to a close. In 1912 we were
engaged in the war with Great Brit
ain, which was justiiable on our part,
because it was a war of defense. In
1916 the Mexican way occurred. Our
terrible civil wal began in 1861, lasting
the war with Spain, which resulted in
the loss to her, and in the acquisition
by US of all her foreign possessions.
when we read of a great military
campaign, our imagination revels in
the contemplation of the heroic
achievements of famous generals. We
listen with rapture to the clash Of
arms, the shouts of the v~ictors, and
the sound of martial music. We seem
to catch the spirit of enthusiasm by
which the combatants were animated.
But we take no note of the shrieks
and agonies of the soldiers weltering
in their blood on the battle field. We
have no thought OF the sick and
wounded lying in hospitals and pris-
ons. We are unmindful of sorrowing
wives and mothers at home weeping
and signing for
The Loved Ones Far Away.
We do not picture to ourselves the
homes made desolate, the 'Rachels be-
wailing their children and would not
be comforted because they are not.
