THE WAITERS' ASSOCIATION

The Literary People Appear in Force at Warsaw, and Have an Enjoyable Time. roints from the Annual Address of Fresident Benj. S. Faiier Poem by CoatesKinnej Some of the Persons Who Are Present. Special to tli IndlanaDolls Journal. Warsaw, Jnly 10. Notwithstanding the pleasant surroundings, and the reputation of Warsaw as a place to keep cool, the weather is excessively hot. and tho mercury, which has been reposing at rather a high elevation for several days.' has suddenly betaken itself to the attic of its tubular tenement, and tho exuberrnce which ueually distills from speech or Ten of the "literary" people, now exudes from every pore. Bat it is a happy, enthusiastic crowd, and the unfavorable conditions of the elements do not seem to detract anything from their interest or enthusiasm. The first regular session ' of the convention was held at the Tabernacle, in Lakeside Park, this morning. The first "thing on the programme was tho address of welcome, by II. S. Biggs, president of tho park association, Mr. Biggs made a happy speech, in which ho welcomed the visitors, and extended to them the freedom of the park and the city, lie spoke of the growth of the material interests of the country, and al&o of the growth of ideas and of literature. He paid a pleasing tribute to the American authors, whose productions have excelled in brilliancy those of any other people. Judge Cyrus F. McNutt. of Tcrre Haute, responded to the address of welcome on behalf of the Writers' Association, in which he complimented the citizens of Warsaw forihe kindly manner in which they entertained the association. The address by Benjamin S Parker, president of the association, was then read, and was one of the enjoyable features of the days' exercises. Among other things Mr. Parker said: : The literary association that is to bo of permanent value cannot bemerely a Browning tlub, or a class in Hawthorne or Dickens. .. Many a noble poem has lost its identity and obscured its author's fame by the rays from Tennyson's genius, which the author bad caught and woven into his sous. as the fabled carpet-weaver caught and imprisoned the sunlight in his beautiful web. The study of models to enlarge and educate is a noble pursuit. The attempt to tit one mind, or many, to the matured model is always a waste of energy. The greater the model the more futile the attempt. The time has passed when one man's thought can give its color and the cut of its garments to a whole generation of thinkers. The literary association that is to be helpful to its members and to the world must not attempt too much. It must be democratic rather than exclusive. Those who dwell upon Olympus, having the favor of the gods, may not need the sympathy of their fellow-men. But he most of us inhabit the valleys and know little of the ponderous deities. Literature, though it may ascend as a libation to the great, has that seeming perversity which belongs to nature, in all her moods, of retnrningto the sources from whence it arose. Even the rainbow is not long content to irlorify the clouds, but swiftly returns to the earth, and the sea, and the white light irom whence it tame. So literature lorever returns to the green meadows and spicy woods, and, sending its roots into the virgin soil, gathers from it the sweetness and strength of a new life. It fades and loses its warmth; its strength goes out and its color becomes the glitter of frost when it dwells too long upon the summit. It must come back forever to the people, inform itself from tho toils and struggles of their daily lives, and warm its heart by the strong tires of their affections their devotion and their patriotism. When literature divorces itself from nature it falls into decay. The decadence of tho writer and the statesman, alike, have their beginning in a contempt for the people and neglect for their aspirations and needs. Thin association should stand as a permanent declaration that, amid the toil and bustle of Western life, there exists a body of earnest men and women who, while as deeply imbued with the active spirit of business growth and bnsiness prosperity as their neighbors, are at the same time deeply interested in every worthy effort to advance the standard of general intelligence nd widen the circle of intellectual enjovment in our section of the Union. The Vestern Association of Writers m this behalf represents a class that is a constantly multiplying force in the advancing civilization of the country. The association has been laughed at because its members are not all of that class which critics are pleased to term "Acknowledged Authors." But therein lies one of its sources of strength. Its ability is to serve general rather than private interests. The encouragement that one "acknowledged author" gives to another "acknowledged author" can scarcely be said to constitute a force lor the general advancement of literary interest. Indeed, it has been sometimes asserted that the love which they bear to each other does not always exceed tho warmth of a Vesuvian eruption. However that may be, the zeal which brings "acknowledged" and "unacknowledged" writers and scholars who do not aspire to authorship, and thinkers, who, in the technical sense, neither lay claim to authorship nor scholarship, together in an organization, for tho encouragement of the study of literature amongst the people, and for whatever is best and truest in literature among the writers, certainly possesses strength and vitality in the purposes that impel its progress. This association cannot become a school of close criticism, and it certainly would not be profitable to ioh Fow that modern school of criticism which operates on the principlo of immediate insight and glorifies or damns an author after a two-seconds' survey of his title page. It cannot advance the popularity of individual writers, except oufy as it can encourage them to their best, and thus assist them to win what hard work and continued application may attain for them. It "cannot make silver spoons of pewter." Those of us who are endowed for the cornlicld or the lawyer's office, the kitchen or the parlor, rather than for works of tho imagination,- will continue to be just as good citizens and as worthy in our day and generation; but without that touch of naturo which Scotland's immortal bard declared to be "'a the learning" he desired, all the associations in Christendom could not mako poets nor novelists of us. It cannot dictate terms to publishers. It cannot even securo the favor of publishers to those products of Western genius that are in themselves excellent until it can first asfcure a market for them when they are published. When this association was organized, it was laughingly characterized as an etlort to get up a corner on spring poetry and fix tho pneo of manuscript stories at so much per yard. This exaggeration probably grew out of the popular knowledge that ninety-nine writers of every hundred are forced to make a tight for tho favor of publishers only less determined and persistent than the loug tight they must make with tbeinttves to deserve success. It does not change the tact that he who tights longest and hardest usually wins tho most permanent success. Tho truth remains that a market is the prime necessity of a publication. That must be assured by the reputation of the author or the character of that which ho has to oiler. If the writer xossesses ouly the genius of a mere word carpenter anil is devoid of conscience, he can win with ease that unsavory faino that will procure lor him the favor of a conscienceless class of publishers and put money in his pocket. The newspapers recently told the story of an author of that class who has grown wealthy, but is so thoroughly disgusted aud heart-sick in the hourly contemplation of the vile work that has Riven him success that h-3 will not permit his cliildren to come to tho knowledge of it. Such literary etlort is not only unworthy, but it is accursed. But with that eftort that springs from noble impulse and aspires to lofty ends the story is far dihereut. The door may never open for it. Public favor may never smile upon it in ueh an emphatic way that it will attract the publishers aud the booksellers to its excellence, but it will bring nonightmnre of regret to haunt the pillow of nge. While nil this is true, and so true ca to bo almost trite, it is also true that the

best collection of poems or essays that was ever ottered upon the literary market would be a loss and disappointment to a publisher, if the authors were unknown to the buyers of the books, while, on the other hand, the trashiest of "slop-shop" novels of the salacious or blood-curdling variety might bo a source of revenue and business success. To a community of hungry people a basket of potatoes would be worth . more than a like nuantity of diamonds, unless the diamonds could be exchauged for food. It is the hunger for a thing that makes a market for it. The hunger may be natural or artificial, or it may be simply the fashion. But from whatever source it may come, it must exiet before the natural result can follow. There must be knowledge of Western literature before there can be any wide-spread hunger for it, or anv adequate market for Western books. There must be a market for Western-made books books that are both written and published west of the Appalachians before literature in our section of the country will offer pecuniary rewards, except to the few or those who are connected with jouralism or who are engaged in special enterprises or in special fields of investigation. It is by no means to be assumed that Western literature is to be supported simply because it is Western. Literature must appeal to man, not to local pride nor local prejudice, in order to bo worthy to succeed. It may have local color ami local llavor; it may deal with local characteristics and breathe forth the neighborhood atmosphere, but it most have that within it which would appeal to cultivated people anywhere, were they surrounded by the influences and conditions of the locality for which it is written. Herein is where a Western association of writers, while making no warfare upon the literature of other sections or other countries, may and should be of large and active service to Western literaturelby championing tho cause of that literature in any and every legitimate way. The sum of the whole matter is this; we in the West need to be taught that merit is the one thing to be sought in literature, as it is in a machine or a brand of manufactured goods. Wo take nothing else on trust so largely as tho books wo read. If in anything else wo support by our hard earnings wo should be charged with discriminating against nnrntrn nrndncpra nnr inrlicmatinn would

be speedily excited to the combative point. I There is no danger that in becoming ac quainted with the work of our own writers and thinkers, we shall be tempted to neglect the work of others who are not of our section, or to deal unjustly by them. The highest purpose of literature is to ennoble life and increase the sum of human happiness. Compared with this the glory of individual success is worthless, and individual gain but ashes. In this country wo need loyalty to ideas, not to ruling dynasties. The froth of tho incendiary and anarchist, instigating murder as a remedy for ills that only education and intelligence, wedded to temperance and economy, can cure, is as far from the American idea as the thought of him who sees nobility only in tho scions of royalty or the insignia of power. The American author of the future, while detracting nothing from the achievements of the past, and gladly availing himself of the excellencies of current foreign literature, will yet be true to his privileges and inspirations. Jle will teach that loyalty to American ideas and institutions which shall forbid davger from usurpation on the one hand, or from red-handed anarchy on 'the other. The best outcome of a national literature and education is a prosperous, self-poised people, who are largely a law unto themselves and who are alike ready to govern or to yield obedience to just government. Such a populace is an inspiration as well as a result. With such purposes nerving those who write and those who teach, and with such hopeful surroundings to inspire them, may we not anticipate the coming of that era of which one of our early bards discoursed when Einiling Shakspeares here shall follow, XewtonR-jtlorify one God, Mil tons stand, with blind eyes chanting Opposite the throne of God. We are but'toilers in the pioneer corps, striving to open roads for the army of tne future to follow. Yet others have been here before us, . brave "couriers des bois," who have blazed a few paths in the wilderness and erected a few chisseled stones of imperishable granite to mark the way. That all paths which lead to success lie along the line of loyalty to nature in all her sweet and pure revelations admits of neither negation nor doubt. Western literature may well be sectional in its fidelity to Western scenery, Western character and Western peculiarities. But beyond that it will be national, and beyond its national character it will be cosmopolitan. As Homer sang for Greece. Shakspeare for England aud Burns for Scotland, the Western author of the future will write for the West, for America, for mankind. A character recitation by Clarence nough, of Greenfield, was given, and tho exercises of the forenoon concluded with the reading of the annual poem, "The Shibboleth." written for the occasion by CoL Coates Kinney, of Xenia, O. In the absence of Mr. Kinney, who was unable to attend the meeting, the poem was read by L. May Wheeler, as follows: The pods are all dead glory be to God! Though till they ghost it in old wcrds, as Pan, Apollo, Jove, the Numen (or the oU), That cast thin shadows in the thought of man. Yet they themselves have toppled from their height Olympian and fallen hack to clod. Science has exorcised them with its light, Keliion banUhetl them from fane and shrine; Cmly iu I'oesy they haunt the nlcht, , Tale reminiscences of life divine. Now that the Christ has come, iconoclast Of old religions, now that Science flings Its dawn-flame on the darkness of the past, And fetches into sun the truth of things, Why is it that Imagination nioonsl Why is it Foeey still sits and sings The babe-eones of old fairyland and croons Her mother-melodies of ignorance. Her Indian mimicricf Finnish runes, Her Holy (J rails, her Arthurs of romance! Why with Endynilon still fondly mope, Shaping Love's Lady out of moonshine whyt Unless our Poesy Is past all hope And pining with the Muses Mne to die! The Nine are every one already dead; It is their airy ghosts that linger nigh; They all, with god Apollo at their head. They all would not be air enough to blow The sail of Chambered Nautilus aspread And push it over Prose's undertow. It seems not strange that our new world of Fact Should look ou Verse as an anachronism; A stopping of the white light to refract Its rays to colors through old Fancy's prism 'ay, Juggling with tho light. In darkened rooms, 15 v Fancy's worn-out tricks of spiritism. While lived the gods the words of song were blooms Upon the tree of life; but such words now Are withered garlands on the dead gods' tombs, Dry wreaths around a marble Muse's brow. Our Toesy Is like that Gadarene OX old who roamed among the tombs, and raved, And gashed himself with stones, and cried his threne To the sane Jesus, who rebuked and saved. She. too, has come from out tbo burial-place. With iiifht-voic by Minerva's owl depraved, To meet the Wonder-worker face to face And wait for Ix'ition out of her to pass: As they relinquish her from their embrace They rend her garments Into Leaves of Grass. The Wonder-worker Is our living truthTruth of to-day, the knowledge of our age; This shall restore old Poesy to youth. And bring her back to reason from her race, She shall look round herself and thall behold Keltgion. Story, Science on the stage Of the new famine's language, and grow bold To take her role with them and act her part; Chief part, as In her glorious days of old, When she led nature captive to her art. Ye. Toesy must play first characte r. Must queen it in this drama ot the world. Or el.o her singing-robes be tripi ed from her And she be in the ballet frockcu und girled, IJer voice of goddess iu Jho chorus drowned. Her gate of goddesscapered.toed, and twirled Shall she be second! Where U tlrt, then, found! In musicl Music is her scrving-matd. In eloquence! When eloquence is crowned He stands in her leut mantle of flame arrayed. Tainting and Sculpture rival for her hand; hhe is their sweetheart and their sovran. Yea, All arts concenter on her, as a band Of damsels ringed around a (Juceu of May, Yet she must wane away as moon no more, But orient herself and dawn a day. The gods that he has practiced to adore. The litursies employed to worship them, The rhetoric defunct of fairy lore, Uelong not to her New Jerusalem. In this New City come down out of heaven, And given her to reign In if she will, No paean deities, as on the seven orld-topping hills of Koine, the temples fill; Ko satyrs, fauns, or nymphs there are to name And designate to wood, and vale, and hill: It i old Nature newly searched wita flame, Discovered newly by exploring L-lud The truth of things, Uss truth of words that aim Tho tine realities of things to find. Words are her kingdom: Poetry is word.; , Words aptly chosen by their n i test scne, But natural as babblement or Mi d . Words that are music, painting, eloquence: That are keen lbjht from out a core of fire.

And are of things not seen soul's evidence; That star the darkness of sublime desire With hintlngs of the somewhere-shining sun. And chime our still thoughts like tho morningchoir That sang together o'er creation done. But Toesy must keep within the law; Her power of miracles is obsolete; Plans of creation she anew must draw; ller miscreations she can ne'er complete: Muse, Goddess, Triton, fclren, Fairy, Troll, Each a stark mummy in its winding-sheet, She never shall re-word with life and soul. These are the names of fosil that belong To mind of other epochs, and the whole rotence of life is gone from them In 8ong. No! Song must throb In words of living speech: Must think tho living thoughts of living men; Must learn of livine love what love can teach. And ttre the world with living hope again: Descend from ether to the atmosphere And breathe afresh the common oxygenThen wits no more shall query, with a sneer. How long may Poesy live after death. 6he shall be known then, when she does appear. By this: Bhe will not speak the Shibboleth. The afternoon session opened with a paper, "Is History a Science!" by Prof. J. C Kidoath. Professor Ridpath is high authority on matters of history, and his paper was one of the most interesting, and entertaining, and instructive of the day's exercises. He discussed the peculiarities and characteristics of the races, and handled the subject in a most interesting and able manner. W. W. Pf rimmer, character recitationist, was the next on the programme. Mr. Pfrimmer possesses the happy faculty of reciting his own productions, and his readings are much enjoyed by the members of the association. J. P. Dunn. jr., State Librarian, read an interesting paper on "Township Libraries," in which he furnished much interesting statistical matter, and offered many valuable suggestions on the means of establishing and maintaining such libraries. "An Autumn day," a poem,was read by Franklin E. Denton, of Cleveland, O. In the evening the association was taken on an excursion around Pike lake, which was one of the most enjoyable events of the day. Among the arrivals last night wero tho following: B. S.

Tho decision of the Supremo Court enjoining Mrs. Margaret liaherkorn (Margaret Mather) from acting under other management than that of J. MT Hill was yesterday reversedby the decision of the Supreme Court, general term. Judge Bartlett. who writes the decision, says that when tho secdud contract was made between Mr. Hill and Miss Mather, Mr. Hill should have dfsclosed to her all facts in reSard to the first contract that might have ent her from making the second. The relation between them was one of trust and coutidence, and Mr. Hill knew that Miss Mather was not a good bnsiness woman. If any facts existed showing that Mr. Hill failed to keep the first contract. Miss Mather should have been allowed to show them in the trial. To entitle Mr. Hill to an injunction he must have fulfilled all of the provisions of the contract. t On tho trial Miss Mather's connsel, Horatio C. King and ex-Judge A. J. Dittonhoef, strongly argued in support of this view of the matter, but were ruled against. American Flint-Glass Workers. Pittsbukg, July 10.The American Flintglass workers, in session at Bellaire.O., had a stormy session to-day over the admission of Bohemians and the hearingof grievances. It was tiually decided to admit the Bohemians, provided they thoroughly organized, and the grievances wero referred to tho proper committee. Amendments to the constitution were proposed limiting cutters and mold-makers to lifty-five hours for a week's work; limiting apprentices to one for each five pots, and to refuse to work molds mado by non-union labor. An Incident In a Prohibition State. Des Moines. Ia., July 10. Constable Hamilton was arrested last night by Deputy United States Marshal Etheringe and held under $2,000 bond for breaking the seal of a freight car and "removing therefrom its contents, which consisted of bottled beer. The car was in transit to Nebraska, hence the arrest. Hamilton covered the yard men with his revolver and made them unhitch the car from tho switch-engine, as it was being transferred from the Northwestern to tho "Q" track.

WIIY HE WAS EXPELLED.

The Story of an American Who Was Hustled Out of th Guatemalan Republic New York, July 10. Mr. J. A. Hollander, the American publishing a newspaper in Guatemala who was recently expelled from that country on the indefinite charge of being a "pernicious foreigner," went to Washington yesterday in the interests of his case, which is now injtho hands of Secretary Blaine. Shortly before his departure Mr. Hollander said to a reporter that his troubles arose through reliable information that the United States minister, Henry C. Hall, was not worthily involved with certain officials of the Guatemalan government. The Guatemalan government owed certain Americans $150,000 for a contract on a railroad, the building ot which was discontinued on the death of President Barrios. Any issue of bonds was decided upon for this payment, but the bonds aggregated $80,000 more than was required, $20,000 of which, it is alleged, fell to Mr. Hall for his share in the transaction. Mr. Hollander did not publish this information in his paper, but drew up a statement and sent it to the State Department at Washington. About eight months afterward his prosecution by the Guatemalan authorities began at the instigation of Mr. Hall, he says, who in private communications represented to tbem that Hollander had not only calumniated his character, but also that of the government before the United States government, and assured them that he would sustain them to the extent of his ability in the severest prosecution of Hollander. He was therefore arrested and lodged in a small dirty room in the penitentiary in which there were already eight prisoners, men of the lowest class. He was not allowed bail. Finally, after eighteen days of confinement, the Judge was prevailed npon to release him on a $.j00 bond. The upper court, however, immediately raised tho amount to $1,000. He had not been at liberty long when pressure was brought to bear on his bondsman until he became intimidated into withdrawing his bond. He was again placed in close confinement, and on the eleventh day he was told ho wonld have to leave the country the following day, as he had been banished by a decree that morning. He was refused permission to communicate with his family or business associates, so that he could neither obtain money nor clothes for his journey. The next mornincr he was driven to Amatitlan, where, still in charge of officers, he boarded tho train for San Jose de Guatemala, and there was made to embark for Panama, being provided with a through ticket to New ork. The decree banishing Mr. Hollander sets forth that ho had calumniated the United States minister, Mr. Hall, and is dated May 14, at which time Mr. Hall was no longer minister, having been superseded March SO by Hon. Lansing B. Migner, of which change the Guatemalan government bad been informed on or about April SO. Mr. Hollander states that his property in Guatemala represents 80,000, and that the Eublication of his papers having been proibited, and his business having been interfered with in all its branches, his loss is constantly increasing, in addition to whioh his rent is running on and his plant deteriorating for want of care. While, therefore, ho intends to formulate a claim for indemnification, Mr. Hollander is at present especially desirous to be able to get back to Guatemala, in order to settle his atlairs before his creditors, instigated by the authorities, may levy upon his eilects. is Business of the New Tork Postoffice. ' New Ypnsr, July 10. Postmaster Vancott has received the annual reports of the heads of the ditl'erent departments in the postotfice. They show the number of employes to be 2.507. including 1,000 regulars aud 190 substitute carriers, and 30 substitute clerks, but not including 100 licensed stamp agents. During the year there were removed from the service for official delinquencies and offenses and retired for failure in efficiency during probation, and through deaths and resignations, 349 men. There were 773 appointments made, 754 promotions, and 16 reductions. There were delivered through the lock-boxes and bv carriers &02,039,901 pieces of ordinary mail matter.
