The Grafters.

Two or three years ago the Journal took
occasion TO speak in high terms of the en-
tertaining qualities of a story of revou-
tionary days entitled THE Master of APP
pleby,' by Francis Lynde Among the
multitude of novels dealing with that pc
Rod it shOne with especial luster. Mr..
Lyndes second book, The Grafters" Just
issued by the Bobbs-Merrill Company is
as unlike the first in theme as possible, but
more than sustains the promise of the
earlier book.
The Grafters,' which is admirably
named, is story of contemporary life
and deals with events growing out of the
sudden political upheavals common in this
country, wherein reform" element takes
charge of public affairs. In this case it is
the POpulist movement that brings the
self-styled reformers, but really the graft
ers, TO the fore in a Western State, and
the incidents of the tale have mainly to do
with their corrupt efforts to secure con-
troll of a certain railroad for their personal
benefit and with the opposition to their
schemes put forth by energetic young
lawyer. There is politics in the story, there
is a legal flavor TO certain of its phases
and there is a good deal of railroad bust
ness; out of these not altogether promising
elements Mr.. Lynde has produced a mar
rative far out of the common and of
such absorbing interest that the most faded
reader of fiction who takes it up will
The author has sure touch and a graphic
style; he knows politics. is acquainted with
law, and is familiar with the intricacies of
railroad affairs and with the practical
operation of a road. This obvious COM
mand of his theme gives an unusually
realistic character to the story. The reader
feels that he is reading of events that actu-
ally happened-exciting and dramatic
events in many caseS-and related I'm swift
sequence. The interest does not lag from
the moment the burst bubble of the town
of CASTOR is described in the first
road is ended by wild of a
train across a State at the close-the last
a remarkably well-handled episode Be
tween these chapters is a record of polit-
zeal and commercial trickery that is of
peculiar interest just now, when the pur-
attorney of a certain Western State is at
tracing the attention of the country. Not
withstandng the rather serious character
of the general theme the story has nothing
of heaviness Its action is rapid its dia-
logue lively, and its pages full of clever
| tention paid to the working out of a we'll
rounded plot the author has found time
| for some good character drawing and the
| leading personages of the tale stand out
| with dstinctness THE Grafters" should
| perhaps. be classified first as a mans novel;
| but il has a quality of interest which
| should attract many classes of readers. A
| love element, of course, is a part of the
tale, and has much 20 do with the outcome
| of events. Altogether Mr. Lynde NAV be
| congratulated on having provided the pub
| lie with novel of distinct originality and
| that each reader is sure TO recommend to
| his friends. and that will. therefore, be
| widely read. The book is illustrated by
| Arthur i. Keller.

That acute, learned, good-humored, en-
thusiastic observer of the phenomena of
progress reflected in art-James Huneker-
is the author of a new book (ScribnerS)
entitled "Overtones." Ii is a collection of
studies dedicated to Richard Strauss. "a
music-maker of individual style, a supreme
master of the orchestra, an Anarch of
art" The first essay has to do with Strauss
and his music. and the others discuss Par
sifai,' Friedrich Nietzsche, Turgeneff. Bal
zac Daudet, George Moore, Henry James,
Flaubert Boito Verdi. 1.-The Eternal Fem
inine," Brahms. Berlioz, Tristan and
Isolde" and After Wagner-What?" All
are served with Mr. Hunekers quick style
and opulence of intimate knowledge: the
arts and their retainers connected and
compared, and every thought springs from
the understanding that this outward phan-
tasmagora is but symbolical-though beau
tIfully so-of the multiformed process Of
evolution of life itself.

is finished, and when the critic returns to
him as typical Anarch of art, it is said:

far Mr. Huneker goes in the track of pas
sionate comets, he always returns with
some such conclusion this, which closes
his latest book: us there no mean between
the brawls and lusts of Mascagni's peas

Brahms? Surely, to think high means TO

much in our arts. Why cannot we have the
Athenian gladness and simplicity of Mo-
Fart with the added richness of Richard
Strauss? Must knowledge ever bring with

ashes? Why cannot we accept music with

OUR POSITION ON THE MONEY CUES
TON.

One Of the pet hobbies of the Re-
publican party just now is to rehash
the position of the Democratic party
i'll the campaigns of 1896 and 1900
rs compared with that of 1904 re-
spccting the money question. Their
talk and twaddle however should
carry very little wei ght, for if we take
the history of the two great parties
we will find that each has changed
ideas respecting the proper stand
ard of money values. The campaign
of1S9G was led on the Republican side
by one Of the greatest advocates Of
free silver that has ever been known
to the public forum Of American poll
tics. The martyred president Will
liam Mckinley owes to the question
of metals his first prominence in the
House Of Representatives, He made
Il telling speech favoring a different
ratio from the one then in force, and
during the entire Cleveland admins
tration many prominent Republicans
urged Il recourse to the silver basis
as a relief for the stringent money
market made more so bv the fact
that Grover Cleveland was maintain
ing the gold standard despite the
fact that it was almost wrecking the
finances Of the country. In fact when
we disrobe the partisanship with
which Republicans surrounded his
courageous action it is really the only
test that our country has ever under
gone when the relative values of the
two metals were considered; and
therefore the Democrats can this fall
we'll claim that they were consistent
the only time the trueness of their
steel was ever actually questioned.
The election of Mckinley even did
not give us gold standard at once
The records of the party so freshly
showed free silver coating that it
required the friendly hand of time to
dim the lustrc so that it could be
replaced by golden sheen, and
only Just previous to the election of
1900, when it was seen that BRYAN
would again lead the forces of De-
mocracy. did the Republicans make
good their campaign promise of1S9G
and adopt the gold standard.
SO when our Republican brethren
try to hold us up asa model OF incon-
sistcncies and cite the money qucs-
ton as an example, we can easily
answer the reputation by pointing to
the records. If the gold standard is
a good thing for the prosperity of
any country, it was the democratic
president Grover Cleveland who

ORGANIZE LOCAL CLUBS.

Democrats throughout the county
should organize local clubs AS this
is a campaign of education it is the
best and easiest way to reach the
voters, and even if the memberships
small much good work can be ac-
complished. Literature can be most
easily distributed i'll this manner, and
the officers can, through the National
Campaign Committee, obtain many
public documents bearing on the live
issues of the day.
For the past few years the Republ-
cans have been making most vigor-
Gus assaults on our constitution, and
as occasions have arisen did not
hesitate to set aside such ofits pro-
visions as seem to come i'll the way
of accomplishing desired ends. Per-
haps the most striking illustration
of this was the colonization of the
Philippine Islands. The Supreme
Court of the United States, presum-
ably on the grounds of public policy,
made most ingenious decision speci-
flying that in certain cases the consti-
tuition did follow the flag and in
Others it did not, as the individual
case seemed to require. Since then
numerous attacks have been made on
our organic law by the Republican
leaders and its provisions have been
twisted to suit existing conditions.
Constitutional law is always
interesting and the Democrats have
much good literature on the subject.
y large portion Of Judge Parker's
letter of acceptance discusses
executive excess of power and our
citizens naturally feel much concern.
This is only cited as an instance of
what good local clubs could do in the
way Of exciting interest in the differ
ent communities. There are other
issues that we would all like to know
more about if there was only means
to find out. Organize home clubs
and have 4 regular night for meeting.
Talk over the campaign among your
selves and when you feel that by
combining several clubs together a
large enough meeting can be held to
Justify the presence of speakers from
a distance the Campaign Committee
will always furnished the same.
\ number of Democrats met in Bel
Air on Monday and the reports from
those present were of very encour-
aging nature. From all that could
be learned this county will give
substantial Democratic majority.
This can be materially increased by
intelligent neighborhood work. 1t is
Il plan that calls for some selEsacrifce
but great good is bound to follow.
