M OW that the Republican State Committee has IN
hand the temperate. courteous and argumenta-
tive letter of William P White, chairman of the Ma
ton Progressive State Committee, there longer
should be any hesitation by that committee in taxi
ing up for immediate and earnest discussion with
George II. Hall, the Republican candidate for Con-
gress the question of the political wisdom OF his
tircment from rhe Republican ticket The letter Of
Mr. White makes two things clear. One is that the
National Progressives in this State although exceed
mgy desirous of the success OF the Republican State
ticket viii not accept Mr.. Hall their candidate
Congress, but, IL need be. will nominate cand-
date OF their own to take the field against him The
other is that they willing TO join with the Re-
pubicans i'm the support of candidate Of Progress
sise tendencies but who i'm favor of the preserva-
ton OF the protective feature of the American tariff
Nor do National Progressivcs attempt to tie the
Republicans down the support OF any particular
candidate in enectng.the proposed compromise. They
mention Colonel John G. Townsend, it is true. They
add. however. that there doubt, other repre-
sentative citizens Of Sussex county, who would be
acceptable" as their Representative in Congress, and
who would honoraby represent the state and pro-
mote its welfare in national affairs.
That letter places the Congressional situation in
formal and conclusive FORM far it affects Mr.
Hall The members OF the Republican State Com
mittee need feel further hesitancy in submitting
10 him for definite answer the question whether he
does not think it would be bettor for the party, tho
State and the nation for him to withdraw from the
contest thereby clear the way the selection OF
a compromise candidate who 30 into the fight and
defeat Franklin Brockson, the Free Trade candidate
OF the Democratic party
Mr. Hall is such good Republican, and, withal
such good American, that do not think he will
put any obstacle in the way of the consummaton OF
such compromised has been suggested If the sit
pation be presented to him properly by committee
which doubtless feels that II placed at the head Of
the Republican organization TO win victory this
Fall MIR. Hall unquostionahy appreciated the honor
which the Republican party conferred upon him when
ID nominated him for a seat In Congress. He, per-
haps will feel natural reluctance to retire from
The ticket with the campaign under When the
fact is brought home to him. however, that il he re-
mains the ticket ihc inevitable result will be not
only his own defeat but the election of Free Trade
Democrat to Congress, we feel that his loyalty
to the party and so the great Republican and Ameri-
can principle of a protective tariff will impel him
to make. the party and public good, the sacrifice
that has been suggested
~ may be wen TO say IN conclusion, however, that
whatever to be done should be done quickly, TO the
end that both the Republicans and the National Pro
gressiyes may know exactly where they stand in the
campaign.

PLENTY OF FUN
BUT NO PARADE
THIS HOLLOWE'EN

Several of the readers of THE
EVENING JOURNAL have asked this
paper whether there will be a mum
mers' parade ON Halloween and
whether the people will be allowed
20 mask this year in view of the prox-
unity of the presidential election
which might create trouble.
The matter was taken up with
Chief of Police Black by a reporter
of THE EVENING JOURNAL today
and he says that so far as he knows
there will be no parade this year.
Persons will be allowed to mask and
parade up and down Market street
as they did last Halloween. The pO-
lice Will not tolerate any disorder
however. and viii see to It that this
is strictly adhered to. Chief Black
said he did not think there would be
much of a demonstration on Hallow-
cen night in view OF the "Old Home
Week. celebration just ended.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Historical Masterpiece
That Its Author Was
Compelled to Peddle
BY Holland.

John Lothrop Motley gained per-
manent fame as an American hist
orian by his work on the Rise of
the Dutch Republic" and by later
historical writing. He was also num-
bered among the distinguished Amer
ican diplomatists of his day, for he
served as Minister TO Austria in Pre-
sident Lincoln's administration and
for one year as Minister to the Court
of St. James In President Grants first
administration.
Mr. Motley's first literary ambition
was to gain success as novelist.
Two novels written by him and pHb-
lished were failures, although his
literary workmanship was recognized
by all the critics This experience
taught him that his literary abilities
lay In the direction of historical writ
ing
With almost infinite pains with ut
most patience and perseverance, and
after delving for months in the
libraries and archives of Holland.
France and Spain, Mr. Motley began
the writing of the history of the Dutch
republic Fully six years elapsed
from the day when he began this
work to the day when he wrote Fin
is" at the end of the last page of the
manuscript Then, unknown author
as he was, he somewhat timidly VEN
tured to approach a publisher named
John Murray in London. He said to
Mr.. Murray, practically in these
words
Il have here the manuscript of a
work upon which / have been engag-
ed some six years. ! want to submit
1t to you with view to its publica-
ton"
"How long is it?" Mr. Murray asked.
81 should say that it would require
about three volumes for its publica-
tiOn."
Mr. Murray shook his head doubt
fully and looked inquiringly at the
author, as though he wondered at the
presumption of an unknown writer in
attempting so great historic subject
as the history of the rise of the Dutch
republic
However, Mr. Murray agreed to look
the manuscript over. But in few
weeks he returned It to Mr.. Murray,
with the somewhat court statemena
that he did not care to undertake its
| publication.
Thereupon Mr.. Motley called upon
I dHVAHtt tftffNVH itiiii NfiitNf~
man. His experience with Mr.. Murray
had taught him a lesson He did not
offer the manuscript to Mr.. Chapman
to be published upon a royalty basis
Instead of that he said:
81 have brought this manuscript to
you with a view to its publication /
do not ask your opinion upon it. |
simply want to have you put your im-
print upon the book I will pay all
| the expenses Of publication. If it
should prove to be profitable ] will
see that you are properly remember
ed"
Upon those terms Mr. Chapman
took the manuscript for publication.
Within a month after its publication
IT was the literary event of
Great BBritain. It's publication
a little later in the United States was
followed by equally great success.
The work brought Mr. Motley not on
ly fame, but also handsome pecuniary
returns and yet he was compelled to
agree to pay the expenses Of publica-
ton After that Mr. Motley never had
need. to offer manuscripts to publish
ers. for he received many liberal Of
