THE FIELD OF LIKKATUEE.

Mr. Maurice Thompson's New Hook. The title of Mr. Maurice Thompson's new novel, "A Banker ot Bankersville," savors of slang and must create, in advance, an unfavorable impression of the boot among those who are not sufficiently acquainted with the author's style and character to know that he is incapable of using Elan. The misleading name once passed, the story is soon found to equal, if not excel, in interest any of Mr. Thompson's previous efforts in the line of fiction. The faults most noticeable in "Love's Extremes," the work immediately preceding this, are not apparent here. Fewer opportunities are seized upon for airing pet views and theories at unnecessary length, and there is little or none of the straining after effect visible in the "fine writing" scattered through his earlier works. This story is told in a straightforward way and the thread of it 13 at no time dropped for the purpose of indulging in philosophical or sentimental millings. Indeed, imagination and sentiment are allowed so little play that many chapters bear & strong resemblance to bald, unsympathetic newspaper reports a species of literature which Mr. Thompson affects to despise. Not to destroy the interest of the narrative for intending readers by disclosing the plot, it is enouzh to say that it hinges upon the experience of a finely-educated yoang lawyer, who expected to gain practice and professional standing by sheer force of his knowledge of law. His despair as the conviction is forced upon him that he i9 likely to starve to death with ail his store of legal lore nnased, and his feeling of helplessness in his plight is well described and will touch a lymnathetic chord in the heart of many a sensitive professional man conscious of talent, but with no faculty for pushing his merits into nolice. The contrast between this roan and another who becomes his partner forms the chief feature of the story and is admirably drawn. With littla legal knowledge, but with that unlimited self apsoranee commonly known as "cheek,"and pleasing address, this partner pushed the' firm nto prominence and a lucrative practice by oethods of .vlvertisine which would have been mpoesibla for the fastidious associate to employ, ivn had they occurred to his mind. Notwithstanding the fact that the career of the enterprising audacious member of the firm rininated disastrously the reader is left to draw the inference that f;nly the lawyer who advertises hit own menu can succeed, and also, that success in the profession is no measure of actual ability and attainments. This is rather a discouraging view to take, but being given, as it , wero, from the ioside it is presumption to say that it is not the correct one. The story is a strong one. taken altogether, and must hold the attention of that critical person the experienced novel-reader wherever found, but ban an added local interest for Indianians. Bankersville is an Indiana town, and being referred to by other names, such as the ''Western Boston." "Iloosier Athens," etc, its identity ia cot difficult to establish. Mr. Thompson has .touched up one or two of his neighbors , until they are recognizable so far away as the capital of the State, and it is possible that persons intimately acquainted with the town may be able to detect likenesses among the characters to other residents. This -use of his own place of residence and his fellow-citizens, to gether with certain coincidences in the life of the hero of the story, with circumstances in the authors own experience already known to the public, will inevitably lead Indiana readers to . wonder how ranch of actual personal history 1s contained in the book. Mr. Thompson may not bave intended any part of it as autobiography, but certain chapters will probably be construed to that light. Published by Cassell & Co. Price, 1. New Book a. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston, have issned Volume III of "Narrative and Critical History of America," edited by Justin Winson, librarian of Harvard University. This volume treats of English explorations and settlements in North America from 1407 to 16S9, and is largely composed of original documents and maps, or facts drawn directly from them.

Chicago: Belford. Clarke & Co. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. "Karma," a novel, by A. P. Smuett, author of "The Occult World," etc., is something more than a novel. In the guise of a romance, interesting in itself, it conveys the author's views

on some psychological and spiritual questions which he seems to have studied thoroughly. The author is a firm believer in the spiritual and nnseen. Aside from its peculiar theories the story is well written and entertaining. Chicago: Rand, McNally&.Co. "Furnishing for Workors," by L W.

Miss Sara Jewett has a short story in Wideawake for January, which proves that her talent for juvenile literature is as great as that with which she charms older readers. A nursery poem by Mrs. Louise V. Boyd appears in this number.

The Publishing Business. Critic Lounger. This is the time of year when the prudent publisher takes account of the stock he has on nand. It is not until January that he knows just how cood or how bad the business of the year has been. You can tell by the expression of his face from now till the 1st of February whether the backMook is satisfactory or depressing. By March the book business takes a fresh start and even the publisher who has been looking blue begins to smile' in the hope that tne new year is eeisg to So Setter bv him The past year has not been a bad one in the book business, and the one to come will probably be even better. Notwithstanding that this is a period of magazines, books as well seem to find readers, and the question arises, how does the public dieest all the literary food that is provided for it. But as Angeston says: "Appetite comes with eating." Literary Kotes. The second supplementary volume of McCliatock ' & Strong's Religious Cyclopaedia the twelfth in the set, which it completes will be issued in a few day by Harper & Bros.

The London Athenaeum states that in addition to his translations of the "Odyssey," Mr. Morris has at press a prose pamphlet, intended to be v ned in two or three weeks. It is entitled ilie Aims of Art." and consists of a lecture which Mr. Morris delivered some months ago. Still another "royalty" has gone into literature. ' This one is Princess Pauline Metternich; but she is acquitted of the charge made against the other royal authors that their works were published simply because the authors were royaL A Vienna newspaper opened a literary competition, to which the Princess sent an unsigned article, entitled "Je n'ose," which took one of the prizes. Th February Century will contain an article by George Parsons Lathrop on "The Bailing of Jefferson Davis." It presents for the first time the complete and curious hiBtory of the influences and occurrences which led to Davis's liberation and the abandonment of his prosecution, showing how extreme abolitionists like Greeley and Gerrit Smith co-operated with extreme Democrats in bringing about this result The author of "Ben Hnr"has a larger number of readers interested in his personality than any other American writer if Harriet Beecher Stowe be excepted. On the list of Houghton, Miffln & Co.'s books, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is first in number of sales per annum. "The Fair God" is second. Harper Bros, have ceased the issuing of editions of "Ben Hur," and are now printing it continuously. The plates are never off the press. The one hundred and forty-second thousand has been passed and the demand is increasing rather than diminishing. The first volume of the writings of Benjamin Franklin will be published by the Putnams this month. Two-thirds of the edition are already subscribed for, and the undertaking promises to be qnite as successful as the Hamilton. They will also publish quite soon a volume on "Railway Reform," by Gen. E. P. Alexander, in the "Questions of the Day" series; "The Conflict of East and West Egypt," by John Eliot Bowen, son of the proprietor of the Independent; and "The Fall of Maximilliau's Empire, as Seen from a United States Gunboat," by Lieut. Seaton Schreeder. A Piece of Senatorial Courtesy. To th Editor of tho Indianaoolls Journal: The following appeared in the Hancock Democrat of the 20th of this month: Dr. Warren King, of Philadelphia, while in Indianapolis a few davs aaro, concluded to call on his Repub iican friend, 'Farmer' Kennedy. For this purpose ne t. isited tho Senate chamber, but was refused a visit to the floor or even the privilege of sending in hi card. The Doctor became very indignant, returned home and addressed a letter to his friend to work off the extra supply of bile, and the old 'Farmer caused the public to be informed of the indignity through the columns of the Jouraal. The Doctor should have called on the Senator at his hotel, where there is at all .hours a free admission to the general public The advice of the venerable editor of the Democrat iB received with thanks, and had I known at the time that one of the Door-keepers of the Senate was a defendant in a United States court for conspiracy to commit forgery, I would have expected nothing else. But when one receives a bluff from a person who is presumed to be a gentleman by virtue of the position or office he holds, it is very apt to cause an overflow of bile. Warsen R. Kino. Philadelphia, Jan. 21. The Unseating: of Senator McDonald. Indianapolis Independent. The proceeding in the Senate in unseating Senator McDonald, of , Jackson county, is un paralleled and without precedent The men who engineered the conspiracy to its culmination are devoid of the finer sensibilities which prompt the courtesies and the decencies, ordi narily, of deliberative bodies, and drove the Sen ator from his seat with the same sangtfroid that the butcher drives the ox into the shambles to be slaughtered. Tho Independent views with alarm the growing disposition of legislative bodies to perpetrate such outrages under the pre tense of justice, but really for the accomplishment of partv ends. The will cf the people is thwarted by every revolutionary act, and the fabric of the government is held together by a slender thing, indeed, when such acts are per mitted. It is time for the revolutionists in the Indiana Legislature to go to the rear. . A Yery Simple Plan, Richmond Palladium. The Democratic programme in regard to the election of a United States Senator, as given by a Democratic State official, seems to be very simple in plan and quite easy in execution. If there were any probability of the Republicans securing a majority on joint ballot, the Demo crats proposed to "Ore out3 the entire body of Republicans from the Senate, thus breaking the quorum in that body, defeating the election of a Senator, and preventing all legislation of any kind. This plan would be simpler and less difficult of execution than the means taken lately to rob the express near St. Louis, and would be al most as honorable. The Democratic Uandittl. Crawfordsville Journal. The people elected 150 men to go to the State "capital, there to enact such legislation as the needs of the State demanded. Instead of doing so, the Democrats have banded together to defy the law and their constituents, to set asido all precedent and trample on the rights vonchsafed under the Constitution. They have doffed the honorable toga of honest legislators and adopted the attire of political banditti. Since 18G3 there has never been a Legislature convened in Indiana so calculated to make a man blush when accused away from home of being a citizen of Indiana. Bnlmao'i Disgust. National Republican. Jndge Holman attended the last rendition of "Fra Diavolo" by the Boston Ideals In this city, and, it is said, came near leaving in high dudgeon m the midst of the performance. When Lord Allcash sang the lines, I do object, I do object, Oh, yet to that I do object, the Judge thought it was a personal interpolation intended to hit him, and was. with much difficulty, restrained by a friend from making an exhibition of his resentment. Senator Zimmerman's Explanation. Indianapolis News. Senator Zimmerman claims that injustice has been done him in the report made of his late speech in nominating in the Senate Judge Turpie. Mr. Zimmerman did not come to America until after the war and the time to which he referred in sayins that Tnrpie "raised his noble voice in behalf of an abused and down-trodden people" was the period of reconstruction. Tho Senator disclaims any sympathy with the secessionists, and spoke of . "the Southern people ly log prostrate and helpless," simply in a philanthropic sense. General Harrison's Election Demanded. Loganeport Journal. The election of Gen. Ben Harrison as TTnited States Senator has been demanded by a majority of the people of Indiana. If David Turpie is declare 1 elected he will represent not only a minority of the people of the State, but also a minority of the lawfully elected members of the Legislature. Counting the votes of such members as Branaman, Mock and Beasly ought to vitiate any man's election, to say nothing of the vile, revolutionary and anarchistic proceedings of the Green Smith greasers.

THE INDIANA SITUATION. Political Hoodlums in Hoosierdom. Brooklyn Eagle (Dem. J The muddle-headed leaders of the muddled Democracy of Indiana are sinking, and dragging the party with them deeper and deeper into the mire. Their first false step was to dispute tho legality of the election of a Lieutenant-governor. The Question whether there would be a vacancy in that office to be filled was fully canvassed he-

fore the nominations were made. Recourse was had to the Attorney-general of the State for his advice. He decided that the law called for the election of a Lieutenant-governor. Both parties accepted' his decision and acted accordingly. Candidates were placod in nomination by the Republican and Democratic conventions and voted for by the people at the polls. It was the misfortune of the Democratic candidate to be beaten. That misfortune was aggravated by the choice of a nearly equal number of Republican and Democratic members of the Legislature. The margin was so narrow on oint ballot that the Democrats feared their majority of two would be overcome by strategy or treachery at the critical moment. A United States senatorship was the prize at stake It was a big temptation, and the Democrats yielded to it They wanted a man of their own to preside in the Senate. If they accepted the result of the election for Lieutenant-governor the presiding officer of that body would be a Republican. Thereupon they resolved to deny the legality of the election, and from that denial all the strife and disorder has proceeded. The TaUdity of an Election To Be Tested. Brooklyn Ea'jrie (Dcm.) If Niblack or any other Democrat ean succeed in uniting the party his election is assured; but the question of his right to take his seat in the Senate would remain to be settled. There are seven contests on Democratic members of the Legislature and two on Republican. The United States Senate, no matter how these contests are decided in Indiana, has the power to revise and, if It sees fit, annul such decisions. It is the supreme and final judge of the qualifications of its members. Unless the title to the contested seats now held by Democrats is made so clear that it caanot he annulled save by a flagrant disregard of the facts, the chances "are all in favor of the be ief that Senator Harrison will be succeeded by a Republican. Therefore, while the present anpect of the dispute in Indiana seems favorable to the election of a Democratic Senator, the cautious partisan will bottle up his exultation until he hears from the Republican Senate. Voice of th State Press. The despotism of the Democratie revolutionists in trying to keep Colonel Robertson out of the office to which the people elected him has paved the way to a grand Republican victory in this State in 1888. The people will speak in thunder tones next time. Indiana Pocket (Rockport). If the Supreme Court holds that Green Smith is Lieutenant-governor, special prayers for the preservation of the life of Governor Gray will be in order. As the second officer in the State, Smith entails disgrace on the Commonwealth. Heaven help us if he should become Governor. Huntington News Express. The disregard which Democratic leaders of Indiana show for law and decency is rapidly destroying the faith of the people in the courts and legislative assemblies. Perhaps . no more infamous outrage was ever perpetrated in this State than was the act of the Democratic majority, last Monday, which resulted in the unseating of Senator W. N. McDonald. Lawrence Mail. It is not probable that the people of Indiana, the independent, fair-minded voters of the State, will approve these usurpations of their right to select men of their choice to fill the offices under the Coostitntion of the State, They will rebel in the end, and as in Ohio, so in Indiana, when the revolution begins it will rapidly develop into an overwhelming flood that will sweep every Democrat out of office, to the credit of the State. Chattanooga Commercial. Why They Kejoice. National Republican. Democratic editors are indulging in a vast amount of boastful jubilation over the fact that the country has not been ruined by a Democratie administration. T.hey remind one of a story that Editor McCIure tells of a young doctor who reported of his first case of obstetrics that he had -lost the mother and the child, but he had managed to pull the old man through. High License. Philadelphia Iniuirer. A high-license law, if it had no other effect than thaf weed inn 'out the worst of those who are inthe liquor business, would be fully justified by that single result; but there can be no question that it would elevate the character of those carrying on the traffic in liquor, making them more careful to whom they sold it. Highly Gratifying:. Philadelphia Press. - It is highly gratifying to reflect that the election -of ex-Sonator Paddock, yesterdy, insures that the validity of an election of a United States Senator both in Indianapolis and Trenton will be passed upon by a Kepublican Senate.
