A ENCOURAGEMENT IS made that

OF conducting the mercantile business
absolete, is to open Offices in this

ana sell them. srit"fst .ste..
Having paid for certificate, which
may be suitably framed to hang in the
parlor. the householder can then order
goods through the agent at greatly re-
duced rates. She wants spool Of

articles. She doesn't know exactly
what will suit her and she IS not cer-
tain Of making a purchase unless quail
ity. style and price unite to appeal to
her. 1t might be a little confusing for
her to decide without personal inves-
tigation what she wanted and what she
would pay
OF course there are few articles
that could be ordered sight unseen"
such as nails. breakfast foods and
fruit jars, but generally no buyer will
pay money for an article unless he or
she has selected that particular article
Such a concern II seems to us must
argue from false premises. The plea
must be that profits now are too great
and that goods are not sold on close
enough margin. This is not true. II
the facts were known there would be
surprise at the close margin on which
our merchants do business. on staple
articles the percentage ol profit is just
enough TO maintain the shop and pay
the small salaries Of clerks. Can any
consumers association do better? why
cooperative stores have often been
started on the theory that the buyer
should have the profits. but usually
there are no profits, as some hustllng
merchant usually runs the cooperative
concern out of business.

Growing Power Of the Senate.

From The phlladelphla Ledger
There never was time when the
Senate did not seek TO magnify lts
powers. Having equal legislative au-
thority except for some nominal re-
stfuctions, with the House OF Repre-
sentatlves, with less immediate ac-
countability to the constituencies and
sharing as II does in some executive
functions, the Senate has always had
more opportunities 10 "eurb" the CO.
ordinate branches than they had 10
curb IT. This has not always been a
disadvantage to the country.

NEW ROCKS.
Mr. A. Morrison Turns to Romance.

Mr. A. Morrison Turns to Romance.
Turning aside from the excesses OF realism,
Mr.. Arthur Morrison reverts to detective
romance pure and simple and exhibits his
versatility in "The Green Diamond d. c.
Page & Company, Boston). The main story
relates to the hunt for stolen Oriental Jewel
and may remind old-fashioned readers In
more than one particular Of the plot OF the
late Wilkie Collins's 4The Moonstone" and
other tales of the kind. The episodes, how
ever, are practically almost independent
stories, some humorous, others tragic,
but all with startling and unexpected
conclusions.
1t is thoroughly good work. The reader
Is carried along breathlessly. as he should
be In stories Of the sort. He is excited
and mystified properly by perfectly natural
and legitimate means. Only occasionally
does the detectives supernatural insight
crop out; as n rule the events and actions
follow upon one another with uncommon
verisimilitude. They are described, too
tn excellent English. We regret that Mr.
Morrison should have felt obliged to cater
to the British taste for comic Americans
by nondescript absurdity which he offers
as an American capitalist; but he kindly
abstains from rendering the American girl
ridiculous. He has written a thoroughly
enjoyable set Of stories, unusually good OF
their kind. The reader will be too much
interested to criticise.
