Dickens by "Pickwick,' David Copper

The Jewell Republican feels that IT has

Booker Washington at dinner. the Southern

There are number Of Southern people

Why does the American literary critic
write his pretty essays with an eye on
London, while he calls the native novelist
to strict account for his copy of life and
manners at home? Is not here the old
question of the mote and the beam? Sure
ly there is no lack of honest effort charge
able to the American novelist. He-and
especially she-is prolific, unwearied, seldom
disheartened, often bravely successful 1t
is not his or her fault If as people we
have not yet produced the highest type of
fiction. By and by we shall come to it,
with a more intense and self-centered ma
tional life. Meantime our critics will do
well to putter less about foreign standards
and models. AS the late DR.. Dana used
to say, what Is needed above all is the
American idea. The American idea first
last and all the time, is good a pro-
gramme in our literature as in our politics.
IL you doubt this look at the fame of Walt
Whitman. True. our own timid critics
do not appear to read him, yet is he hon.
ored abroad as the greatest of American
poets and unique force in the world of
letters. 1t must also be said our critics
are too obviously uyder the influence of
English precedent and SO their writing lacks

name at all, be built with some regard TO
the general standards of literary impor-
lance, standards which have been evolved
out of the experience and opinions of gen.
erations of readers of the most varied
tastes and temperaments. Time is con-
tinually applying these standards over and
over again, and it is seldom, If ever. that 1t
reverses a long-eStablished judgment.
Therefore. if our library does not, or can
not contain all the best books, ii must GER
tainly contain some of them; and, however
idiosyncratic of its owner. it must bear the
stamp of q general distinction.

the note of sincerity and native genuine
neSS-it does not ring true. One does not
prove ones fitness for the critics function
by an ability to quote scraps of dead Ian
writer's as Herrick and Wither. This. or
something like this. is the present note of
much so-callec literary criticism in Amer
lea. Needless to say. IL is the manifesto
ton of a puerile and thoroughly un-Amer-
lean conceit. From this kind of spurious,
make-believe criticism we shall get no
help. but hurt. Certainly our novelists may
not look TO it for light and leading. Reality.

We have frequently noted the poetic
fancies Of Paul Dunbar, the negro writer,
some of whose verses equal to the best
conceits of the white race. Take this as an
example:
IAN angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping night
Night woke to blush; the spirit was gone.
Men saw the blush and called il dawn"
No modern poet can excel that, either
in sentiment or construction, and we have
seen other creations of this colored man
which were of equal merit. He is an
