In 1885 he began in a Nova ScO- tia newspaper under the pseudonym of sam Slick" a wandering Yankee clockmaker. d series of political and social criticisms of his native province which attracted wide attention on both sides of the ocean. were collected in a volume. and translated into several European languages They were af- terward initiated by an actual Yankee, who undertook under the pseudonym of Jonathan Slick to satirize the New York of the early forties.
 In the matter of dialect the imitator naturally surpassed his model. Judge HaliburtOn's work was written in a dialect which no genuine New Eng ander ever wrote or spoke. But the genuineness of the dialect was assum- ed by English readers. and sam Slick became the model for the Brit ish stage Yankee. and his language for the bewildering locutions which Brit ish nOvelists for the generation fol- lowing his appearance. put into the mouths of their Yankee characters. Such a literary success was entirely beyond the expectations and outside the aims of the satirist. whose purpose was to commend to his countrymen his own reflections upon them by putting them in an outlandish garb.

Our able contemporary. the Los An geles Times. seldom fails of clear view of things unless the question Of union labor is involved. Then the at mosphere becomes blood-red and ob- Jects become indistinct. The Times has been in full sympathy with the bribery and graft inquiry in San Fran cisco and is so yet. Its enthusiasm was heightened by the circumstance that it was directed against a union labor mayor and the most purely union labor government that was ever set up. Late disclosures seem to involve the United Railroads, whereupon the Times suggests the possibility and even the probability that the investi- gation is on the wrong tack The sug- gestion is not moved by any friendli- ness the Times has for the United Railroads. If these disclosures had been mace a month ago the Times perhaps would not have raised it's voice but just now the street railroad is engaged in q holy war and is there fore deserving of consideration.
