Shortage Will be Small

The final reports of the experts who
have made an investigation into the
affairs of the defunct Goldfield Bank
& Trust Company of Goldfield, show
that the shortage will not exceed over
$22, 900 and that much of this will
be made by the turning over of Gold
field real estate and mining securities
held by Boal and Young. Both have
ions, surrendering all their mining
interests in their effort to wipe ont
the big shortage.

Editors of a classic are nearly always prone to
take their hero a little too seriously and to
make too much of facts or episodes which have

reckon as. in some sort. his spiritual children
The charm Of Sterne lies in his originality. IN

no precedent. and for whom successor Is uI-
thinkable OF course, he has had his imitators-
some of them extraordinarily determined tndl-

tating Shelley as initiating Sterne. That Is why
hating his dirtiness cannot keep the disinter-

keeps him from IOving-his irrepressible fun
Somewhere the late John Addington Symonds
has a remark about its being better to laugh IN
the sunshine with BoccacciO than TO Singer
with Aretino in the shade. The trouble with
Sterne is that he sniggers both in the light and
in the shadow; yet, as though the central
springs of humOr in him triumphed over the ugly
impulses of his SOUL he constantly holds you b.
spell which you know is not vile. Is 1t only his
spontaneous and exqusitely individualized
humor that holds you. or is it the vague some
thing which he shares with the poet with the
romancer? 1t is, perhaps the fusion OF these
elements in a style created as if by magic to en-
veIOp his ideas that does the trick. ThaCkeray

how he could contrive to work out the parallel
between Sterne and Thackeray which he sets
forth in the same essay. 1t is true that he has
the support of Bagehot's saying that they both
looked at everything-at nature, at life, at art
from Sensitipe aspect; but then, Bagehot's
sayings, for all the sagacity that lay behind so
many of them, have not precisely Papal weight,
and, indeed, twenty Bagehots could not lend
authority to the following passage by Professor
Cross:

We have too much respect for Professor
Cross's work upon this edition to want TO speak
hippantly about any phase of it, yet. in view
of the foregoing extract. we cannot help recall
ing the ambition fired in Charles Lambs bosom
by the remarks of the official he met one night
in Haydons studio. If Professor Cross can see
Sterne commemorating the death of Colonel
Newcome as well as Thackeray, he can see
anything. Readers of FitzGeraId will amusedly
remember at this point the joke about Sped
ding's forehead and the milestones.
There is, indeed. the same danger in seeking
to provide Sterne with literary descendants as
there is in trying to trace the ancestry of his
books to its source Professor Cross is aware
of this danger. and is at some pains to avoid

too ready acquiescence in the specious parsons

what they call the Shandean philosophy, plum
ing themselves the while as though they had
been sealed of kind of sacred cult, are, indeed
a little harder to endure than those who stoutly
assert that Sterne is n dose, and so would make
an end of him. The truth is that he was an
eccentric genius. a genius slightly gone wrong,

Nevertheless there is bound to be public for

the right emotion over the new matter which
