PASSING ON NOVELS.
Young Women Who II cad for PhiIa-
delphia Library and Reject OBJ
jectiOnabIe Works.

In quiet office of one of the pub
lie libraries of this city three young
women sit reading all day long. Fresh
from the presses the various new nov
els come into their room, and they
examine them to see if they are fit
for the shelves. immortality and
worthlessness are the two main
grounds for the rejection of books by
the library, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. Thus, on the former ground
Alphonse Daudet's "Sappho," Guy de
Maupassant's "Bel-Ami'' and Henry
James 1.-TWO Magics" were rejected.
The young women read all manner
of books, and they make notes of
everything Objectionable in them. It
would surprise Anthony Hope if he
could see how many passages are
marked questionable, and Mark Twain
would not be pleased were he to hear
the young women's opinion of some of
his humorous remarks. The head of
the library chances over the objection
able passages in otherwise good books
which his readers underline, and these
passages cause him sometimes to re-
ject volume. But, whether he rejects
it or not, he is apt to be censured by
somebody, for to pass on the books
to be admitted to Hbrary's shelves
is hard, ticklish and thankless job.

BRUTAL ASSAULT--We learn that Mr..
r. GrOssman, Esq, Of this city, was set
upon one night last week near the
Northwestern depot, and brutally beaten
by four or five ruffians. AS yet the Of
tenders are unknown. Such deeds of
violence are becoming SO frequent in
our midst that it is almost time a Wig
lance committee was organized for the
summary punishment of the scamps.
FIRE-The grocery story and .distil-
ly destroyed by fire at nine o'clock last
on the first floor were saved, but nearly
everything in the second story was con-
sumed, including several hundred dol
lars in gold, belonging to couple of
emigrants who had been but a short
time from Germany. The building was
insured for $1,000, which will only par
TALLY cover the loss.
FATHER AND Son DROWNED--Last Sun
day evening about six o'clock, very dis
tresSing case Of drowning occurred in
this city, in which Mr.. Sherman lost
his life in the attempt to save that of
his little son, who was about ten years
of age. The lad was playing on Cady
street bridge, the planks of which were
off in several places, it having been out
Of use for some time, and by some mis-
take fell through into the water. The
father seeing the immediate danger his
boy was in, that of being drowned unless
assistance could be rendered him imme-
Giately, plunged in and swan with the
utmost ease to where the boy was. As
he was about to catch hold Of him, the
boy made a spasmodic effort and cIasped
his father so tightly about the neck that
Mr.. Steinman found it impossible to re-
lease himself, and after struggling for
some minutes both father aud son went
down clasped in each others arms. After
a search of about three-quarters Of an
hour both bodies were recovered.
DODGE Country FAIR-The fair at Jul
neau, commencing on Wednesday last,
was in every way success. There was
very general attendance and high
degree Of interest manifested. There
was on Friday some lively horse racing,
and in the evening the young people
had dance in the court house. There
were something over one hundred couple
in attendance. 1t is needless to say that
'all went merry as a marriage bell.'

The Republican party is worthy of
all good citizens, because:
1t has kept inviolate the honor of the
flag.
1t has always stood for the protect
ion of American industries.
1t has always opposed free trade.
1t has always been a debt-paying
and not debt creating party.
It benefits all classes, lahore r, farm
err producer, manufacturer, and trans
porter.
It perfers to encourage the manu-
facture of new products in the United
States rather than import them from
abroad.
It looks upon the whole world as it's
legitimate market.
It's plans and policies are not for a
day, but it looks ahead and provides
for prosperous future.
1t recognizes no sectional lines but
benefits all parts of the country.
Mort, South. East and West.
It could not be made to believe that
a 50-cent dollar was an honest dollar.
It does not believe in fomenting
class hatred for the purpose of winning
a few votes.
1t does not want American working
men to live on the low wages paid in
Europe.
The Democrats must be afraid Of
their supremacy in the South for they
have not only disfranchised the Negro
but have also refused the ballot to the
veterans Of the civil war who are liv-
ing in the National Soldiers Home.

Importance of Opium

More than $4,000 pounds of opium
were received at San Francisco in a
single recent shipment from China.
A distinguished physician in that city
remarked some years ago that if he
were banished to the moon, COM
PEELED to practice medicine there, and
permitted to take with him only one
drug in the entire list of the pharma-
copoeia, he would choose the Juice of
the poppy. Bat he was as strongly
opposed as anyone could be to the
indiscriminate, injudicious use of this
powerful mendicament, and de-
nounced the sale of it anywhere ex-
cept upon doctors prescription.

growth and development of our foreign
trade, and considering ways and means
to follow in the footsteps Of the great
est industrial nation in the world.
Has the Democratic party proposed
anything in the past thirty seven
years that the people would ''stand
for" permanently? No.
Has the Democratic party anything
on it's slate now that the people are
likely to stand for? Not a thing.
The fact is, the Democratic leaders
totally misconceived the genius of
American institutions and the temper
and spirit of the American people.
Free silver and free trade can not win
in this country and abuse of the Army
is equally repugnant to the average
voter.
It's up to the Democratic leaders to
guess again for an issue.
1t is peculiar how political, leaders
can sometimes get so far away from
the people. Take the case Of the
Democratic national leaders in this
compaign. A little group of men,
evidently isolated from the great rank
and file of their party, living in the
past in fictitious present, present
of pipe dreams and rainbow chasing.
What are the issues the Democratic
leaders ask their followers to uphold?
l. Adherence to the Kansas City
platform. That means free silver;
been threshed ever thoroughly and the
Democrats lost.
2. Free trade. That means free
soup houses for honest working men;
been threshed over thoroughly and
the Democrats lost.
8. Run away from our problems in
the Philippines; been threshed over
once and the Democrats lost.
4. Willy the Army of the United
States; will be threshed this time and
the Democrats threshed.
The Democratic leaders say that
even if they lose on free trade, free
silver, down with the army and run
from the Philippines they still have
their antitrust fight to win on. Why
so? What has the Democratic party
ever done against the trusts? Nothing
The Democratic administration would
not even enforce the law which a
Republican administration enacted
and which is the only antitrust legis-
lation on the statute book. Why
then. should the country have reason
to expect the Democrats to do anything
againso the trusts? Bosh! ''It's all
in your eye, Betty Martin"
1t would be neither just nor expedient
to punish the big corporations as big
corporations; what we wish to do is to
protect the people from any evil that
may grow out of their existence or
administration Some OF thesecorpor-
ations do we'll and others do ill. If
in any case the tariff is found to foster
monopoly which does i'll, why, of
course, no protectionist would object
to modification of the tariff sufficient
to remedy the evil.
The Democratic congressman in the
North respectfully but earnestly
request that they be not called upon to
explain the action of their Virginia
colleagues in DISTINGUISHING 5000
inmates of the National Soldiers
Home at Hampton, Va.
