Washington, April 14.-Repre-

majority leader of the House, IS not
optimistic of the success of the tariff
revision bills, now before the SEN

leaders in both houses. He says he

Congress. with recess over the con-

Newspaper Writing.

Among certain people who know
little Of either literature or journal
ism dlctum has grown up that
there is wide difference between
the two. When recently asked az
to this, w d. Howells. the dean
OF American letters" replied that
there is no such difference.
The best literary writing is that
which in clear and simple language
tells its story and that is also the
best newspaper writing. Howells
himself started on a newspaper, as
did Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Rud-
yard Kipling, Eugene Field, James
Whitcomb Riley, Joel Chandler Har-
ris and many more of the same rank,
to say nothing of the younger school,
including such men as AIDE, Dunno
and others.
There Is no reason why newspaper
writing should unfit a man for any
kind of a career in literature. Johr
Greenleaf Whittier and Wullian
Cullen Bryant both were newspaper
men, but this did not prevent then
from being great poets. On thu
other hand. Alfred Austin is not !
newspaper man; neither is he poet
