LITERARY COMMENT
BY Clement storsr Fostsr.

The American Book Company C0ew
York, Cincinnati and Chicago), has
presented TO lovers of German litera-
ture-and we must know the masters
"a trite little booklet edited with
notes, and an etensive vocabulary by
Lewis Addison Rhoades, PHI D., pro-
lessor Of German in the Ohio State
University, and with added questions
by Berthold Auerbach Eisenlohr A. NJ
These selections include some OF
Schiller's most characteristic and IA
nous poems, and are intended to form
an attractive introduction to the
works Of the great poet. A brief intro
ductory note gives the external facts
Regarding each poem, and the footnotes
explain whatever is necessary to the
understanding Of the text, but nothing
more. Series Of questions on the vari-
Gus selections furnish a basis for
teachers who prefer to conduct the
recitation entirely in German. The vo-
cabulary Is complete and so easy 70
obtain that interest is lent to a work
of more than usual interest.
II the same author hands TO us

others of the Fatherland's classists-

hcation.
Colliers is along with its weekly gist
OF good things-hence its popularity.
Musical America is filed with har-
monious measures calculated to stir
the dormant, phlegmatic soul even 70
a measure Of endowment
II must be all right, otherwise the
Jingle OF its chromatic possibilities
would not permit it to be interesting to
the lay critic.
John c. Freund is the editor; and il
you know, or like music 'twould not
be bad scheme TO get this publication
weekly from the Musical America
Company, 1876 Fifth avenue. New York.
The make up and general conception
Of this periodical is at least worth the
price.
II Is tiresome to wait for the good
things; but think Of the qualification
when you meet up with somethingl
There is a world of meaning in the
foregoing and II is all contained within
the fifth schedule Of the contents of
the July Forum.
We can forget the present political
differences in looking into this COM
pendulum or aggregation of thoughts,
calculated to keep us busy-at least IN
our leisure moments-until the presl-
Dental possibilities are eventually
lined up.
Here is the schedule:
"A Constructive Criticism Of Fic-
tion." Brian Hooker.
Rousseau From the Counter-Revo-
lutionary Standpoint" George II. Cas-
lamajor.
AN American Egolst". James Nc
Arthur.
AN Impartial Observer" Grace 1sa-
bel Colbron.
Robert r. Logan's poem. "The Man
God"
These are features. merely. II needs
be that the book is in ones possession
before it's value is known.

"Tody" Hamilton's exploitation of
the Barnum and Bailey aggregation
could hardly be a more faithful adver-
tising medium. II is written by a
Commoner man, and an enthusiast,
With due respect to a great DEMOCRAT,
Iit might be said that despite this effort
"Inocuous desuetude" will be the por-
tion Of the subject.

CHESTER STRIKE

eral movements have been started to
settle it, but they have resulted in nothing def
nte The strike has cost the city of Chester
thousands upon thousands of dollars directly and
indirectly. 1t has cost the trolley company thou
sands upon thousands. The company, by its at
titude, may have exercised good business iudg
ment, but we doubt it.
The company has been fighting for what it has
conceived to be a principle-to do as it pleases
with its own. 1t has been within its legal rights
because the Pennsylvania law evidently makes no
distinction between public service corporation

vate manufacturers a manufacturer of nails
Tor instance-who has not the direct relation TO
the public that public service corporation has
There has been no clear distinction between the
two This point, so far as we have observed has
been overlooked Yet there ought to be dis
tinction
But, as we have said, the company is within
its legal rights. 1t could give its employees five
cents an hour if it could get men to work for that
sum. and it would be within its rights so far as
the law was concerned
OF course moral rights do not enter into the
question Moral rights or obligations are foreign
to the thoughts OF the average corporation.
The Chester situation illustrates one thing
most clearly. This is that in granting franchises

Thomas +. Watson has been notified of his
nomination for president by the Populist party
In the recent hubbub the existence Of the Popust
party and the fact that Mr. Watson is presden-

prohbtionsts and the Independence League are
yet to nominate their presidential candidates
And with two Socialist presidential nominees in
the race the voters ought to be able to pick some
one for whom to cast their ballots. Yet the Gold

LABOR TEMPLE DIRECTORS.

business representative. The unions
had been asked to pledge a certain
amount weekly to provide the fund

money was to be represented by stock

TO be a donation. After arguing the
question for a while it was finally
decided to issue stock in return for
Ill money subscribed.
1t was decided to ask the Labor
Day committee to provide some sort
of a celebration that would result in
an addition to the temple fund, and
a committee was appointed for the
purpose of bringing the matter before

IN THE LITERARY WORLD.

One of the really important events

In this work Mr. Churchill has more

To the men who in every state Of
the union are engaged in the struggle
for purer politics" From this it is
seen that the story deals with an in
tensely interesting topic. and it Is a
vigorous, dramatic, entertaining re-
cital Of a subject in which every per.
son is concerned The locale Of the
story makes 1t a natural sequel to
"Coniston," although the time is the
present.

Mr. Mexican is spending the summer

"sRYAN THE MAN."

TACT that the book is written by men
who belong to the opposition party,
but who entertain only the highest
regard for the distinguished citizen
of whom they write. There is no full
some fattery, no attempt to picture
Mr.. Bryan as immaculate, infallible
or wholly without faults 1t is d
charming story that runs along in
narrative form, and deals with the
,nany-sided nature of Mr.. Bryan in q
way that holds the interest of the
reader from the very start. 1t is bet.
ter than the biographies written by
lartisan friends because it does not
slop over.
Every admirer of Lincolns dis
tingufshed citizen ought by all means
to add Bryan the Man. to his Ii

and it will be source of delight
during many hours. Mr.. Gale and
Mr.. Kline have honored themselves
by their splendid little book and
here's hoping that they will have to
| print many an edition. The price
of the book is one dollar, and it may
be purchased at any book store, or

After carefully reviewing the polit-

has decided that it would be wisest
to center organized labor's support
upon one candidate for the legisla
ture. Having thus decided, they have
selected ]. w. Dickson as the proper
lnan, and will ask organized labor to
back him for the senate. But if a
majority of unionists think that some
ether plan should be tried the car
l,enters will fall in line.
The delegates of the local were in
structed to outline the plan of the

seek to have it adopted. The matter
