 From n Sense of Justice

Fros~ . Sense of Justice.
 Serne interesting details have been Givep cut lately as to the sums volun- aaxSlg paid to British novelists by American publishers before the days oi fntsrnatlionai copyright. Any American 6Tuo could reprint at once whatever is sued from the English presses. but auroe publishers arranged with British aufbors for advance sheets of forth coming works. thus enabling them to Get the start Of 'piratcll" firms which paid the author nothing lt is interest fuz 10 observe the occasional disparity between the merit of the book and tn, price paid. Tue whole thing was in the nature of ieap in the dark Often the sum given by the Ame ican puD- lisEer was really more than the Amer fcan rights would probably have been worth had it been possible to secure them by copyright Thus Anthony Trollope got S3.5OO for Sir Harry Hot epDr." one of his poorest novels; George Eliot $S5O0 for Daniel Derouda" and Charles Reade S5.OOO for "A Woman Hster" No publisher today would pay any such sums for these books if De were permitted to read them before buying.
 On the other hand. v way of com parison. the very best books brought Gbeir authors only trifing returns from America. Charles Reade received only G250 for ''Put Yourself In His Place" &1,003 for Hard Cash" these being two of his finest novels, and $1000 for ~Love Me Little. Love Me Long" Thackeray got only S75O for '"The New comes" and $500 for Henry Esmond. Trnllope obtained from the Harpers S125 for "The Bertrams." S250 for ~Castle Richmond" $5UO for "Phineas Finn" $250 for "The Eustace Dia mUnds," "0rley Farm" Lady Anna and Ralph the Heir" The $500 for nis ''Cicero" is fully as much as any American publisher would give today for Ebe copyright of such a book. George Eliot received only $1O0 for ~'Adam Bede" and $500 for "Silas Mar ner" ''The Mill on the Floss brought her $1,509
 Wf1kie Collins and Dickens were the most popular authors of the precOpy Eignt period. and they fared best of all ,Rf fhe hands of their authorized Amer 1caH publishers. The former drew from Ghis country $1 500 for "The Woman In Whrte," 3,75O each for "The Moon FstEne' and "Man and Wife and $3.000 for Poor Miss Finch To Dickens the Hampers paid S1,250 for Little Borrit," $1,8O0 for Bleak House. $59O0 each for "Our Mutual Friend" and 'tA Tale of Two Cities and S7,50O for ~Great Expectations" this last rep Eese nting the high water mark of such voluntary payments.-Bookman.

OF Is cents. and the question has been
put 10 the Colored BARRIERS Union 20
take the same stand. as IL viii mean
more money for the journeymen. Al
the next meeting Of the White BARRIERS.

port. and then the question will be de-
cided.
The boss BARRIERS will have a meeting
tonight 10 emphasize their position on
the I5-cent shave. and they will take
action TO bring into line the boss bar
bers who have gone back 20 the lO-cent
shave.
