BOOKS AND THEIR RESULTS.

Burlington Hawk Eye.--A negro
burglar in Sioux City has been getting
himself interviewed. He claims that
reading dime novels was the cause
or beginning OF his criminal career.
There must always be some cause
other than the right one, some niser-
able excuse. The fact is. that no dime
novel ever compelled man to go
forth and commit burglary, not all the
dime novels that We're ever turned out
by tndefatigable manufacturers of this
kind of literature would have affected
an honest man or boy In that manner.
Bad as the dime novel is, the truth Ia
that 1t Is frequently maligned and that
there are really good stories among
this class of books, even as there Ia
much rot and rubbish in every library.
But as to the evil influence of the
dime novel, 1t Is perfectly safe to as
sumo that that colored fellow would
have landed in the pen, sooner or later.
even IL he had never seen or read q
dime novel In his case, the result
would probably have been the same
under any circumstances that might
have been devised. 1t might be claim
ed that the fellow would have Jared
better and would have escaped at least
that one temptation If he had never
been taught to read, but the fellow,
who goes about the country commits
ting burglaries has a yellow streak
In his make UP, and IL he had been
| brought up, not merely in perfect
| Ignorance but also In perfect inno-
cense. in all probability he would have
succeeded in breaking into the pen as
soon as left to himself. If there has
been any sympathy expended on this
unfortunate victim of the dime novel.
/ 1t has been worse than wasted. BY
the way, 1t would be In order to dis
cover now, whether prominent thieves
| who very rarely find their way into the
stripes, have rot a similar complaint
to make Perhaps some cultured
thieves, who spurned the dime novel,
might blame certain French authors
for their downfall or they might lay
their unhappy plight to the great
| Machiavelli, or to Coin Harvey.

DEMOCRATIC PENSION ECONOMY.

A good deal has been said about the
economical administration which is
characteristic of the democratic party,
particularly in the matter of pensions.
It may interest the veterans to know
how the democrats economical. On
October II, 1893, the New York Trib-
une called attention to the estimate Of
the Hon. Hoke Smith for the Depart
ment of the Interior, observing:
"He seems somewhat proud of the
fact that this is decrease from last
year of $3,30S,496.1S. But he omits
to call public attention to the sug-
gestive fact that he gets all and
more than all of his apparent saving
out Of the pension bureau His esti-
mates show a decrease for pensions of
$5,O0O,O00. Further than that, he wants
an increase of $1,OOO,OO for examining
surgeons. 100000 for clerk hire and
100000 for expenses of investigation
This is total Of $1,400000 which he
must have in order to cut down the
pensions to the extent of $5,000,000,
and the secretary proposes to make
the old soldier pay it all"
Instead of spending money on pen
sions for veterans, the democratic sec
rotary of the interior proposed to cut
off that appropriation and spend money
instead to prevent their getting pen.
sions. That was his way of economic
ing. 1t had the merit of providing
places for good many clerks and
surgeons and pension agents, anyway;
but what do the old soldiers think of
it?

REPUBLICAN (cENTER) TOWN
SHIP TICKET.
THE REAL REASON.

The real reason has at last leaked
out why Judge Parker is unwilling to
appear in public and address his coun.
trymen on the issues of the day. 1t is
not that the judge could not prepare a
speech, or have some one prepare one
for him, which he could read, but it is
his aversion to appearing, as he must
surrounded by the gang. He would
probably have to be introduced by
Billy Sheehan or Dave Hill, with per.
haps Pat McCarren sitting as presid.
ing officer of the meeting, and with a
list OF vice presidents which would in.
clude Charlie Murphy, Bill Devery and
Tim Sullivan, and SO on through the
list. This is more than the judge
could stand, and so he simply pro.
poses to sit in his parlor at his hotel
and receive the gang in groups and
separately and give his instructions as
he may see fit; or perhaps, as he is
very frequently obliged to do, take his
instructions instead of giving them.
Perhaps after all Judge Parker is to
be commended for this course. A man
is certainly known by the company he
keeps and the judges appearance
surrounded by his faithful gang would
not draw many votes from the think.
ing careful business men to whom he
would prefer to address himself.

THE HORRORS OF WAR.

Minneapolis Tribune. The Presi-
dent has been persuaded to abandon
his plan of calling another peace con-
ference at The Hague for the present.
If the President had a finer sense of
humor, we should suspect that there
was nothing in his plan but a sardonic
gibe at the car of Russia, who called
the first conference and precipitated
the first great war after it. 1t appears
however, that Mr.. Roosevelt has no
desire to interfere, directly or Indirect
ly, with the war in the east He has
no hope either of abolishing wars In
the future. His only design is to Sc
cure some alienation of new horrors
or war that have appeared in this des-
perate conflict and to secure neutral
commerce against new perils that have
arisen out of it.
This war Is new Illustration of the
impossibilitv of doing much to soften
