dence Of all others that OF society,
which imperiously demands the right to
enjoy freely and at a cheap rate the intel
leCtual productions of human genius"
Socialist influences are strong in the
French Parliament, andM. AJAM's bill IL
inspired by them. He does not aim at
protecting private interests, but at mulct-
ing the publishers for the benefit Of the
State. It In understood, however, that
the Minister favors the idea of assign
ing some fraction of the suggested tax
To the heirs, and one might perhaps infer
this from the fact that he has had a large
number of authors appointed to the COM
mission. He has even caused women
writer's to be included-an almost I'M
precedented step. They are making
their influence more and more felt, 1"
explains the Minister, -in the literature
Of imagination and sentiment" Among
those appointed are JEANNE MARNI.
DANIEL LEsUEUR, the Countess DE
NoAILLEs and MARCELLE TINAYRE.
Copyright provisions in France are
already so liberal that the imposition Of
the tax, whether the heirs get part Of IL
or not, may well satisfy French authors.
Even II the whole Of it goes 70 the Treas
ury they will still be benefited by it
through the check il is expected to give
to the reprints Of old works.

chine, which had put It's best foot forward
by nominating that IrreproGchable gentle
maj EDWIN 3. STUART, wanted no investi-
CATION OF Treasurer BERRY's charges dur
ing the campaign. II is not TO be denied
without e~quivocation that wires were pulled
to prevent an investigation and TO gain
time. Who was more shocked by the libel
on the Republican party than the Governor
OF the Commonwealth, a man OF stainless
character but a stidnecked partisan, and
there we're other honorable men who echoed
his i~noredulty. From q thousand stumps
BERRY and EMERY were assaulted a. scandal
mongers. and the charges we're hurled in
their faces. Mr.. STUART could do no less,
nor wanted to do less, than promise that
no guilty man should escape-if the charges
could he proved. We believe Mr.. STUART
to be a just, clean and conscientious man,
but he will have need Of q stubborn will
and an alert intelligence TO discharge a
duty which LEWIS EMERY. IL elected Gov
ernor. would nave found more ~congenial.
The Dispctch i~nsinuates that the voters
Of Pennsylvania had little faith In the ac-
cusstions OF Treasurer BERRY. Assuming
such to be the case, 10 there any reason to
doubt that II IN Investigation had been
ordered during tho campaign and suits and
indictments against almost q score Of well
known Republicans had been recommended
as a result Of that nvestigation-can there
be any doubt that the Independent Repub-
licans and Democrats would have elected
their ticket. though the Republican can
didate for Governor protested every hour
Of the day that the guilty would DO vigor-

o We hard hearted toy makers Of
Nurnberg! Beware, meroenary and stiff
necked generation Of vendors of play
thingsl The wrath of Pittsburg falls
upon you and the scorn Of Boston's
undergraduates lies in wait for you.
Yet in the latter town shall there be COM
p~ensation, for inasmuch as you have
refused to give over your pernicious
practice of manufacturing tin soldiers for
children TO play with, you have shown
sympathy for that Medford fountain Of
eternal youth with which Boston bedews
its Ancients and Honorables.
The peacemakers have with siren
voices called upon you to abandon the
making of toys which may cultivate
warlike tendencies in boys. You have
sternly refused. The Ancients and Hon.
CRADLES acclaim you in toast and song.
You will continue 20 make and sell pea
shooters, leather helmets, lead swords,
and the thrice blessed toy drum whose
snarling beat has through countless ages
summoned millions Of families to inter-
necine war. You have realized that if
you cease to make these toys tho TWEEN
tieth century boy will turn backward
the pages Of the worlds annals till he
comes to the prehistoric chapter.
Can you not see him, marching slowly
but inevitably to the rear along the path
of civilization, abandoning the patent
air gun for the old crossbow and that
for the older simple bow and finally
arriving at the javelin? Can you not
picture him giving up the sword and the
buckler Of RICHARD CGuR DE LION for
the pila and testudo Of ScIPIo ArRIcANus
and in but a little time coming to the
good old club of prehistoric man? Can
you not see him in your minds eye
chasing little sister around the backyard
with a broomstick, and proclaimine in
falsetto tones his undying conviction
that Carthage Tor something else)
delenda est?
And what next? With piercing shrek
and threatening arm the Infatuated
mother swoops down upon him and
snatches from him his primeval weapon
At last he is left dependent on what a
certain eminent orator once called those
weapons with which God and Nature
had provided him. The still ~undaunted
spirit of the warrior makes one last
flicker in his breast and he swats little
sister with his fist 70 that she falls TO the
earth, and falling utters a sound, and
darkness cover her eyes.
But now the Pickering fire burns low,
and with one last sputter of mumbled
defiance dies out entirely. The boy re-
tires into a far corner of the garden and
seating himself under the shade Of a
tall rose bush proclaims in lordly utter
ance his new faith: Take away the tin
sword. States can be saved without it,"

The French Author and the state.

The agitation in France for a change
in the copyright law has induced NJ.
BRAND, the Minister OF Public Instruc-
ton, to move for an extraparliamentary
commission to examine the subject.
The President OF the republic has
signed the decree appointing the COM
mission, and the Minister publishes his
reasons for advising the step.
M. BRAND mentions the expirations
about this time Of the copyrights of
ALFRED DE MUssET, EUGENE SUE and
ALEXANDRA DUMAS as events which have
stirred the literary world and given a
fresh impulse TO the question whether
publishers should get the entire profit Of
reprints after the period Of protected
rights, fixed by the law of 1858 at fifty
years from the authors death, is con-
Guided. NJ. BRAND puts forward an
other question, whether the competition
which living authors have to sustain
from the dead is not too severe under
existing conditions. To curtail the pub
fishers profits and modify this oompe-
tition a tax might be imposed on the
republication Of works after copyright
has expired, and he indicates the consid-
Grafton of such a tax as the main work
OF the commission.
A bill. drawn up by NJ. AJAM, has
already been placed on the table Of the
Chamber of Deputies proposing a tax OF
10 per cent. on each new edition for the
benefit Of the public treasury. The lit
erary world naturally desires that some
part Of the 10 per cent. should be rs
signed to the authors heirs. M. BRAND
expresses no opinion on the details of the
scheme, but he remarks: The commits
sion will not forget that IL the private
interests Of authors must be respected
there is an interest which takes prece-

u focus, While not Immediately bloody
and devastating. the situation down
there is seriously disturbing and may
v g be regarded as intolerable. I'm
portant American interests, financial,
commercial and political, r involved.
II nothing is done the present desirable
ity Of establishing peace through diplo-
matte channels may at any time be con-
verified into an imperative necessity for
compelling peace by means Of force.
The latest rumors may be IA ground
less as some Of their predecessors. but
the acuteness OF the situation compels
attention and emphasizes the need Of
action that will insure tranquility.
