A.ddrew tNDLANAiOLI3 RENTTNEL CO., Indianapolis, lad. Thx TJtica Herald urges the Republicans to nominate Mr. Conkling for President. The suggestion is made, we presume, ia the interest of Harmony. Akb cow the manufacturers of printing paper propose to form a trust. There is a protective duty of 20 per cent, on print paper. Knock it off, and there will be no danger of a paper irust. Ikdiahapolis to-day offers greater advantages to manufacturing enterprises than any other city in the United States. We except none. Aj brief investigation vriM verify this statement. Johs Shzrmax ia talking a good deal theee days about a fair ballot and a free count, This is the same John Sherman 'who helped the Louisiana returning board steal that State for Hayes only a doztm Tears ago. Mr. "William Waltkr Phil, the New Jersey dude, who is so near and dear to the magnetic man of Maine, says: "The friends ot Mr. Blaine will hold their forces intact for emergencies." Do you hear that, Mr. Harrison? Thk tariff reformers in the Republican party are making a good deal of noise these days, and it looks as if they would have something to say about the Chicago platform. A good many Western Republicans are beginning to find out that monopoly taxes are cot so popular as they once were. I VThk Chicago News indulges in this ealient observation: In Indiana it may appear all-important that a Presidential candidate shall have control of the machinery of the party to instruct delegates for himself. Bat on the outside it seems more important that a candidate should deserve to have his State back of him. "The bearin' of this 'ere remark," as Captain Cuttle woald say, "lays in the application thereof." Sksator Blair, in his closing speech on the educational bill, solemnly asserted that every important public journal in the country had a Jesuit on its editorial staff, whose mission it was to right the free schools and raise the old Harry generally. The Jesuit member of Thk Sentinel corps is away on a vacation, but we take the liberty of observing that Mr. Blair, of New Hampshire, is the biggest ass that ever broke into the United States Senate, Riddleberger, of Virginia, not excepted. The Cincinnati Enquirer prints an absurd story from Washington to the effect that Mr. Cleveland will decline a renominating if Congress refuses to heed the re cd in mendations of his tariff message. Happily there is no law to compel any one to b jlieve this yarn. The failure of Congress to reduce the war taxes will in no wise weaken Mr. Cleveland's position before the country. On the contrary, it will strengthen it, and render his nomination an imperative necessity if the Democrats are to retain the Presidency. There will be no letter of declination from Mr. Cleveland, because there will be no occasion for one. Mr. Randall is said to be preparing a tariff bill which he will offer as a substitute for the measure to be reported by the Mills committee. In this task he has the valuable assistance of the iron and steel rings, the woolen rings and other special interests for whose especial benefit the existing tariff is maintained. He is in constant communication with these gentlemen, bat it never seems to have occurred to him that It would be the proper thing to call in a few representatives of the great army of consumers who have to foot the bills. We don't think Mr. Randall's monopoly bill will become a law. Thx Republican favorite sons are coming to the front in a swarm under the patronage of the Blaine boomers ia the various States. There are Allison and Miller, of Iowa; Rusk and Fairchild, of Wisconsin; Cullom, of Illinois; Alger, of Michigan; Evartsand Hiscock, of New York; Hawley, of Connecticut; Hoar, of Massachusetts; Edmunds, of Vermont; and the Lord only knows how many more. In fact, the woods are full of them ; and after they have killed John Sherman off, they Will pioceei to exterminate each other, whereupon the hurrah for Blaiae w 11 be raised, and the magnetic man will be forced t3 y.'eld to the "unanimous demand of hia party." As Mr. William Walter Philips so neatly puts it, "Tha friends of Mr. Blaine will be held intact for emergencies." Tai telegraph announces that the Sugar Trust has decided to ship large quantities of the best refined sogar to London in order to keep up the prices of refiaed sugar in this country by relieving the market here Of any surplus. In other words, the Trust proposes to create a corner in so gar in order to force the price of this prime necessity of life to an exorbitant figure. While it is thus put'iag the screws on consumers on the one hand, it will on the other deprive thon-anda of worklngmen of employment by c.csing refineries. The members of this tru- are er gaged in a criminal conspiracy at C?Timon law, and ought to be Indicted anc -nt to the penitentiary. But for the tar ' on sugar the conspiracy would be In, oBsib, and yet this sugar duty is one of the Icist objectionable in the entire Bcr-dule, because it yields about $10 in revet ae to the Government for every dollar it i x ,rts from consumers for the benefit of the i j gar lords. f-'i: c a January 1, 1887. two hundred and f.i..i Lew joint stock companies have been OT-fc-ii zed in Indiana for manufacturing pnrpnses, with an aggregate capital of $25, 0j0,000. Ther-hnta school boy in the State who -i -ot know that this phenomenal tr'jwf) f our manufacturing interests is da solely to the discovery and CTciopmeat of our nataxal gM fields,

and is made it the expense of other sections of the country which do not enjoy the blessing of cheap f aeL And yet Deacon Smith actually had the gtll to cite these figures Thursday in his harangue before the Republican editors as an argument in favor of the protective policy. As if the monopoly tarifl had anything whatever to do with the Indiana natural gas boom! Oo to, Deacon Smith! Yoa are a giddy trifler and a gay deceiver.

AN EARLY CONVENTION. The Democratic National Committe e w meet at Washington on the 22d inst, to fix the date and place for holding the Presidential Convention. There has been a full discussion ol the relative advantages of the several cities competing for the convention, the net result of which appears, at this writing, to be favorable to Chicago. The claims of Indianapolis seem to have made a strong impression upon some of the members of the committee, and it is probable that if proper effort had been made, the convention could have been secured for this city. It is now, of course, too late to do anything effective in this direction, although it is not impossible that the committee finding itself unable to decide between the cottlicting claims of NfW York and Ch'cago, will set them both ar.de i d call the convention at Indianapolis. Tr.ia would be a very happy solution of tte problem, and one that would unquestionably redound to the benefit of the p8rfy at the election. Perhaps a more important matter than the location of the convention is the time of holding it. Shall it meet before or after the Republican convention? For many years the Democrats have invariably held their convention later than their opponents, and perhaps, when the party was out of power, this was a wise policy. As a minority party the Democrats were governed to a large extent in formulating their platforms and selecting their candidates by the course pursued by the Republicans in these matters. It was thought to be the part of political wisdom to defer organization for the campaign, so that the party might profit bv the mistakes and blunders of its adversaries. But the conditions hve changed now, and the methods of the Democratic party should be changed to conform to them. Democracy is in the ascendency. It controls the executive de partment of the government and the popr i Jar branch of Congress. It has nearly oneLlf of the United States Senate, and a majority of the State executives. It has t ;e prestige of a clean, vigorous and successful administration to fortify it for the approaching contest. IU policy upon the reat overshadowing issue of the 'lay has been clearly defined by the man who holds the unchallenged leadership of the organization. The popular response to his ringing demand for the repeal of the war aies has been one of emphatic and spontaneous approval. With the standard bearer of the Democratic party unmistakably indicated by the logic of events and the voice of the people, and its attitude upon the commanding question of the hour unalterably fixed, it is obviously the dictate of the highest political Bagacity to hold an early convention and inaugurate, without unnecessary delay, an aggressive campaign all a!ong the line. Happily there is no occasion this year for the Democracy to wait upon the movements of the enemy. Oar adversaries are divided, demoralized and discouraged, and their only hope for success in November is in some serious blunder on the part of the Democracy. The latter clearly hold the key to the situation. They have all the advantages of position, and it pnly remains for them to force the fighting upon the issue raised in President Cleveland's mes sage, and a triumphant victory is assured in advance. An early convention, a short, ringing platform, an acceptable nomina tion for the second place on the ticket with these and an efficient campaign organization, the Democratic party will be im pregnable. THE DOCTOKS DIFFER. Ex-Governor Porter declares that the tariff question 1b "the living issue of the hour." Editor LangsJale, of Greencastle, says the "supreme issue" is the 'Southern question." Deacon Richard Smith, of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says "the question of tariff is to be the leading one in the approaching campaign." Colonel Robertson intimates that the real question to be decided next November Is that of seasion. General Ben Harrison doesn't want to discuss issues (of course), but musters up nerve enough to say that the approaching fig' t is tobe about "a free ballot," KU tor Halford, of the Journal, siys the paramount issue this year is that of a pate bal't box. Tu Republican editors of Indiana ought to b Id one more convention before the can piign opens, and tee if they can't agree wba: it Is to be about. INDIANA AND THE TARIFF. 1 1 otrikes Deacon Smith that Indiana has t'one amazingly well under protection. Itstrikes us that Indiana has not made anytL tng like tbe strides under protection that 1 1 did under what Deacon Smith would call a free trade tariff. Look at some of the figures taken from the census reports, to which Deecon Smith appeals. Daring the ten yars, from 1350 to 18G0, when tarilTda ties were laid for revenue only, the number of manufacturing institutions in Indiana increased from 4,."92 to 5 323; the amount of capita', invested, from $7,750,402 to $13,451, 121; average number of hands employed. from 11 440 to 21.85?: average amount of wages paid annually, from $3.723,311 to $0.318,335: average value of material used annually, from $10,369,700 to $27,112 5'J7; average annual value of products, from $1725,423 to $42 803,403. It will be observed that during these ten years of "free trade" the amount of capital invested in manufactures in Indiana increased about 150 per cent; tbe number of hands em ployed In manufacturing increased about fifty per cent; tbe average amount of wages paid, almost one hundred percent; the valoe of materials used about 175 per cent. and the yalae of the annual product about 133 pr. Tvat, This record of swwU cannot

be equaled or approximated by that of any decade since the protective policy was establfahed. Daring the decade from 1370 to 1SS0, under high tariff, the number of manufacturing establishments In Indiana actually decreased. And how about the agricultural interests of the State? The value of Indiana farms increased from $130,335,173 in 1350 to $336,712 175 in 1860, or more than 150 per cent. During the same period the value of farming Implements and machinery in the State increased from $0.704.4 14 to $10,457,Sl7. The farmers of Indiana grew rich In the fifties because their earnings were not confiscated by the government to the use of the manufacturers of the East. Indiana was never so prosperous asunder a revenue tariff. If Deacon 8mith will examine the census reports a little more closely he will find this assertion abundantly verified.

C0NGRE38I0SAL MATTERS. Tbe most important matter handled by the Senate during the past weak was the Blair educalional bill, which passed that body, yeas 09, navs 21. It will hardly pass the House. The Indiana Senators, Messers. Voorhees and Turpie, voted in the negative. The most active opposition come from the Republican Ssnator, Hawley, of Connecticut. In concluding his argument against the bill he sail: "In my jndgment this bill, glorious as the cans is, fascinating as the arguments in ft vor of education always are, is a bill cr eping in to control interests which from Plj mouth Rock up to this date have been udtr local control, and wisely so; it is a b 11 to promote mendicancy, to cultivate beggars; it is a bill declaring the failure of local self-government in one of the supreme interests of tbe people. It falsely declares the bankruptcy of 8tstes, which before our vary 6 res are rich and growing; it makes aa Ine fectuil, if not false pretens9of temporary a Uion. It is not for eight years it is the biginuing of a permanent policy of a permanent new relation between the Federal Government and the States. It never will go back and never will diminish, bat Its influence will grow. I hope the bill will be defeated. I wisn that every Senator would vote upon it just exactly as he feels about it, and not aa being bound by resolutions of State Legislatures or previous committal, or anything of that sort. Trie longer the bill is thought of and talked of, tbe weaker it grows and the nearer to constitutional right and justice the people and Congress are coming. I am willing to see the bill defeated by any of the constitutional mfans, whether by the House, by the Senate, or by the President." I he Fate of American Shipping Intersste. fin Reply io Senator 8rman T'pon tb.3 President's Message. 1 Mr. Kenna: Subsidies to ships! We have no ships! Your policy of pretended protection baa driven oir commerce frm the high seas. You confine our producers to the limitation ot their bone market, and yon deny tbem tbe agencies fo 0 irry the fruits of their industry to the mirkets of the world. Sir, we have no ships! A line to Brazil, does the Senator 8y? Perhaps. Another straggler here or there? It may be. Bat like the ancient parrot ot the Attures, which sat croaking the language of the people who had taught it arter the Isst of that tribe had been gathered to his fathers, they serve but to make more plaintive the appeal for a recall of the cruelties of our commercial fate. We have no ships. We can not build them to compete with the continent or the Clyde, and your obstructive policy will not allow us to sail them under our flag. Tbe repoit of the present Secretary of the Treasury shows that our carrying trade has gone down from 75 per cent, in 1S3 to 1 i per cent, in 1387, and this in the face of the development of a continent, and in spite of the energies of the most enterprising people in the world. And so the little army of American citizens who might be engaged in carrying our products a service for which last year we paid more than $100,000.000 to foreigners have been left ashore to enter into competition for a livelihood with those who are expected to join in the universal hallelujah to Republican protection to American ships. The honorable Senator has spoken of Schedule and of Class D of our tnriff laws. But, Mr. President, there is another class to which tne Senator tss railed io allude. Where is your class "Saipa?" Turn to that! But ships are prohibited, jou ssy. So they are.

There, sir, contemplate itl There is your class "Ships," grim monster of national Injustice and of commercial sick ness and sorrow and death. lligh Tariff and Mortage. Chicago Times. Those farmers who are cordially invited to beg Congress for more high tariff would do well to study some figures presented by Mr. Frank Wilkeson. That gentleman estimates tbe amount for which farm lands in ten Western States are mortgaged at $3,4:.,2,000,000. These States are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Wisconsin Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. Be believes it reasonable to assume that tbe bulk of the corn and wheat producing land was unincumbered in 1870, and, therefore, that this enormous indebtedness has been incarred sines that year, lie gives statistics to show that this indebtedness can never be paid, and that the independent farmers of America are being fast reduced to the condition of tenants. Vbat is the cause of this? Mr, Wilkeson goes to the census, and finds tbat the probte of manufacturing in 1870 amounted to $:j8,000,000. or 45 per cent, upon the capital invested. In K8Q the profits amounted to $1,025,000,000, or 3G per cent, upon the capital invested. Averaging these, we have profits $'J90.000, 000, or 40 per cent., annually. Calling 15 per cent, annually a fair profit on the capital, there was an 'excess of Jf.OOO.OOO a year, or $J,230.ooo000 for the ten years, over fair profits. All this must have come out ot unprotected con turners, including the farmers, And yet there are farmeas who are talking about more high tariff to help them lift the mortgages from their farms. A Striking Contrast. Huntington Democrat. How different were such things done during Republican administrations. Nov a Democratic administration appoints special assistants to prosecute men charged with crime, but whea a "Cabcock," high up in the Republican party, was indicted for conspiring through a "whisky ring" to defraud the United States Treasury, and it became necessary to use the evidence of a co-conspirator to convict, a Republican President interferes, removes the District Attorney, compels the Secretary of the Treasury to resign, and the conspirators go nnpunithed with the funds of the United States in their pocket", 8uch is the con trast. Then ballot-boxes were staffed, conBpirn'ra defrauded the Treasury, and the mottu "as, "Republicans, though guilty, must i.jt be punched. A a Kiif Task, Washington Critic.

OUR NEW YORK LEITER

Th Blame Letter GIvsi ia Oppartanitr Of 1 Bsomlet fcr Chautosy Depew. Lester Wallack and His Chtldren-Eleva-tt KokiI Accident Non-Newspaper Headers A Lifa Insurance Case, Et. Written for The Sentinel. New Yoke, Febrcary 15, 13SS. Nearly a year ago, on the eve of sailing for Europe, Mr. Chauncy M. Depew told me that his principal purpose In declaring himself absolutely in favor of r. Blaine for the next Republican nomination, as.Tie had done in the most positive terms in an interview published in the Times, was his desire to put an end to the suggestions afloat that he, Depew, was a candidate. He eaid that he had no ambition in that direction ; that the Presidency of the New York Central Railway was the only office he desired to hold, and apparently he burned all his political bridges behind him. 9 Mr. Depew is a confirmed, chronic declinr of public office. I was personally aware of the tender to him, by President Johnson, of tbe Collector ship of the Port of New York, under circumstances of tbe mcst flattering character to Mr. Depew, and I know tbat he promptly declined the offer for business reasons, although these reasons involved the retention of the At torneyship, and not the Presidency, of the Central railroad. Later on be declined ano:her desirable appointment at President Johnson a bands for the same business reasons. He has since declined other propo sitions to become the Republican candidate for high offices In this State; and I have no doubt tbat he has been absolutely sin cere in doing this. In spite, howoyer, of bis positive declarations in favor ot Mr. Blaine, and his reiterations that he cannot be a candidate, the declaration oi Mr. Blaine that his name will not go before the next convention has resulted :n a s?ontaLeous call for Mr. Depew to become a candidate. This new "boom" for Mr. Ü9pew was started at a dinner of the Republican League, ot Brooklyn, on Monday night last, when Hon. Stewart L. Woodford declared that now that Mr. Blaine was out of tbe field, the Republicans must follow the standard of the one man who could certainly carry New York against any Democrat who could be nominated. The name of Depew was not mentioned by the speaker before it was shouted from every lip at tbe table; and instantly th candidacy of Mr. Depew became once more a possibility. A nomination under the circumstances could hardly be declined by Mr. DeDew;andIn spite of his position In the past, it is not an unlikely thing now that he will be forced into the candidacy. Re-election prophecies that the election ot Colonel John It- Fellows would remit rn several undesirable things haye proven to be false thus far, and soma actions of the new public prosecutor have been quite surprising to those who did not tally truit the possession of sterling merit by Colonel Fellows. No boodlers have returned from Canada; the indicted ones are to be tried; Jacob Sharp must again appear at the bar, and for the first time in our history the acts of the many millionaires, Jay Gould, Russell Sage, are to be investigated by a grand jury. . It would not be surprising, too, if they were indicted; the point of law which may save them this humiliation is the question of the limitation of the statutes, and this Colonel Fellows has personally decided against Gould and Sage, though the grand jury may hold otherwise. The dissolution of Wallaces Theatrical Company is the one interesting event of tbe week. Mr. Aboey announces that it is to be seen for the last time in a number of old comedies, and that this will be its last season as an organization. The theatre will change in the character of the perform ances to be given there, and instead of maintaining a stock company in original plays, the house will bs devoted to the stars of the greatest magnitude in long engage menta. The decadence of Wallack's has Ions been visible, and th-s end of it has long been anticipated. The verdict 9 to the real cause is "too English, you kno Mr. Wallack always had the Eagiisü mania, but recently it was confined to l.nlish actors and actresses; but within a few years he was aliiicted with the mac Is in a more acute form, and fell into the modern British melodrama madness. He gave his house np to dramas and actors of aa indifferent sort, and the entertainments and the audiences of the house Changs 1 the old clientele, abandoned the place, aad when, after the brief craze for extravagant melodramas was past. Mr. Wallace en deavoured to reclaim his old friends by returning to legitimate comedy. Hedis covered tkat he had lost theux forever. Ard thus patses away one of the famous old companies and theatres of New York. And with the disappearance of Lsster Wallack himself, the family of Wallack will terminate its long theatrical career. He has neither eon nor daughter with dra matic ambitions possibly none of them have the dramatic talent. 'Arthur Wallack has managed his father's Btage; he has done, in collaboration with others, some dramatic writine. though nothing has been produced as from hla pen ; but he has no disposition to act. The other children are in commercial pursuits of various kinds. .Lester Wallack ia now well-nigh seventv Tears of ace. He 1 seldom seen on tbe stage, and when he is, his great feebleness marks him as an object of sym Dathv rather than admiration, lie was once the idol of feminine New York; in deed, it is not a decade since ha was thus held in rather extraraeant enthusiasm by young girls, and old women, too, bat he no longer attempts to conceal the ravages of ase, and his erav hairs do not command tbe sighs and glances which his dyed raven locks once evoked. 9 Strancera vieitioz here find the latest fad the organization of parties to witness elevated railroad accidents. Some horri ble death on one of the 'L' roads can be witnf ssed nearly every day, and the public is bfcoraing hardened to them. During tbe past six months at least fifty accidents, more or f si serious, bave been printed. TLe one in Brooklvn on Tuesday, where an entire st etion of the new road being built bv the Cornells along Broadway, fell and crashed a score of people and a horse car. Five of the injured have died, and a fatal result is expected in the c&3e of some of the others. This was not an accident; it was a piece of criminal carelessness, fcr which those rpsnunsib'.e should he made to snffer. The foreman of the gang at work at the time has been arrested, and will pj it ably be held for the grand jury. You would hardly suppose that any man vat too bnev to read the newspapers and yet there are 1,000 on record in this citv to that effect. The "record" consists In the tict that they are subscribers to a local company, whose peculiar business it is to rend the publications for men too busy to do it themselves. Among the thousand are men ot all the branches aid professions of life, men like Chauncey M. Depew, Cornelina Vanderbilt Governor Hli. FerTy Belmont, Henry is.

and a host of lawyers, politicians ana pub

Many business men become subexribers, and then snd in orders for information on specified to pi. -,s very much aa they would send around the corner for a cigar. The suit of Frederick o. 8cstth to com pel the National Benefit Company to pay a $10,000 policy of insurance on the life of John Tyler, the famous suicide, to which I referred in my letter, has been decided in favor of the defendant, on the ground that at tbe time of applying for lnsnresce Tyler caa entered into a conspiracy to take his own life. In other words, the iury be lieved the remarkable story told b7 the defense and outlined in my letter, in regard to the gang of money-lenders who had furnished Tyler with cash, takinz his poli cies for over $300; 000 as security, In order to induce him to drink himself to death, or, failicg in that, to commit suicide. The score or more of mutual benefit companies interested in the decision claimed to know already of aeveral instances of parties loan ing money on such policies, calling in tne;r loans and returning the security.

A Si I , ii e ProbabHit- th-t He TT1U Soon Be in th Toll, Chicago, Februa' y 20. There Is a sfrrng probability that William B. Tascott, the alleged murderer of millionaire Amos J. Sie 11, will be captured to-3ay. Yesterday atternoon as hier of pjUce nanbard, In ept rer Bonfioid. Lleu snants R'S1 and Hvns and A. J.Stoa wr conferring together, a messenger boy arrive! with a dispatch for Chief Hubbard and Inspector Bon field. It w real and the conference was broken np Instantly. It conveyed information that ma 'e qcick action au urgent necessity: Inspector Eonfleld telephoned for a carriage, and as soon as it arrived he and the chief entered and drove away. They immediately tzmmonel detectiveHanley ari l another officer who boarded a train over the Chicago and Omaha-Short Line-of the Milwaukee and St. Faul railroad and departed for the West. The story which induces this sudden departure is this : Vf. B Tascott waa seen and spoken to by one who knew him at the little wav sta tion of laf River, situated ninety-seven miles from Chicago on the above road. Saturday afternoon the murderer drove into Leaf River in a buggy. The horses were - covered with foam. Tascott was recognized by an old schoolmate residing there, who inquired what brought him- out there, xaeott replied that he wet traveling for a Chicazo concern, and tried to turn the-oonversation from himself and his actions. Almost the first question he pat to his frie ad was whether or not there was anything new in regard to the Saell tragedy. He then drove out o f town. An hour later the Chicago papers arrived with a fall description of Tascott an d proof tbat he was 'the- man. Tascott's fr lend: yesterday sent a dispatch to Chicago comment eating all the facts to Inspector Bonnetd. Leaf Riyer -B a mere watering station so far as the actual depot is concerned, but in the center of the fine farming country, where it is supposed Tascott intended to look for a octet farm house where he could rest until the hue and cry after him had subsided. Inspector Son field is inclined to believe that Tascott will keep away from railroads and the bis towns and make his way across the country, seeking refuge in the wcods. But it would be almost impossible for him to elude tbe officers, as he has but a few hours start of tbem. The officers reached Leaf River at 10:30 o'clock last night and they were under instructions to at once secure a conveyance and follow after Tascott without stopping for rest. Chief Hubbard lafet night expressed himself as being conndf nt that Tascott would be arrested inside of forty-eight hours. 3enioDi Granted. Washinotoi, Feb. 20. Special.

THE HORRIBLE IN FICTION.

A Protest Acalast the Slartllar and the Hor?HI ot Blodera Hardt. ICnorch Quarterly Be View J It requires r little consideration riatl to estimate the relation which novels bear to life in the present day. While great advance has been made in every branch of human knowledge, and the accumulation of facta renders a rrractsry of any srtject harder for ourselves than 'twas for our forefathers, the hurry and pressure of modern life tends to make those books mo3t popular which awaken interest without demanding the exercise of thought. To meet this condition of the public mind every conceivable lesson, eacred and profane, Brientificand artistic, historical and social, orthordox and sceptical, is disguised under the guise of Action, until mere stories probaoly exercise a larger influence at this moment than at any other period in the world's history. If we m may judge from sons recent indications, we shall soon be reaping the natural result of this indDl-rence of modtrn craving for naked intellectual indolence. Is there not some reason to fear that novel writing is rapidly descend ing to the level of mere narative' of startling incident? Ia description ot adventure not taking the place of delineation of character? Is tbe hasty dash of the 8 cere painter to supersede the thoughtful hnta i .i ue genuine ir.iat?

These remarks hive been suggested by the popularity of Mr. Hsggard's stories. Let ns admit frankly at tbe octset that they are not wanting in some of the qualities which deserve suc cess. Ths authors genuine admiration of manly plnck and fighting skill are specially attractive in a day when athletic exercises are even apt to be overrated. His narrative f ows on with uninterrupted rapiaity. His style is easy, and some oi his characters such as his savage heroes and persons in the humbler walk of life are simple, and the latter are endowed with a genial humor that occasionally degenerates into coarseness. Cce incident follows another so quickly ai to keep the Btory from flagging, and toe writer's acquaintance with African ecenery and manners, and with the details of hunting larger game, gives reality and vigor to his pages. If, moreover, there ace readers, and we presume frcta the commercial success of Mr. Haggard's writings that they torin a numerous ciass, wno can experience any other sensation than weariness from the perusal of page after pa?e describing caverns and tombs and deserted cities mere chateaux d' Kspagne the creation of architectural fancy run mad';, if the disagreeable mannerism of pretended editorship, which allows the writer to make comments on bis own narrative, and correct affected mistakes by means of footnotes; if the constant reintroduction in successive stories of the some characters under the flimsiest di"gu'ees, and most of these besides ouch mere nomims umhr n tbat it is hard to feel the faintest interest in them or in their fortunes; , if the wiredrawn conceit of spreading an inscription over many pages by its repetition in di Parent languages and- In varied type; if the absence of most of the higher qualities of style which insure a permanent place In literature if all these defects ought to be condoned on the-plea of counterbalancing excellence, we Ehould be content to pats them by without further criticlEm. Tor adventure pure and simple, written onlyto amuse, is-a leitinate, if not a very lolly aim, and the hands of a competent artist would mold it inic-ctories that should be delightful to the imagination as well as interesting to the naleretandicg. Dexterity in construction, intricscy of plot, vivid powers of describing thitgs fairly dcscribable, and snuine enthusiasm might combine tu present such stirring perils by flood and field as should kindle a keen, healthy interes, and foster manliness of thought and character. But such books could not be produced without ihe conscious cr unconscious observatcs of the canons by wbici the literature of the imagination is regulated t ban a valid ariuient can be c msisucted la defiance oi the rule of logic. Whether - Mr. Haggard sins, and in what degree, against the laws of his art, we hope to make sufficiently pJain to our- realers. Mr. Haggard's stock-in-trade is singularly limited. A few verr-shadowy characters, with a scanty sprinkling of mere substantial actvs a description of a sunriw, a Euusat, a Btoraa scenes from life and sport in Southern and Central Africa a battle involving terriüc carnage and a desperate single combat described with the minuteness and refinement that wouLl grace the account of a prize light in sporting newspaper tnese, wun lie architectural details already adverted- to interspersed with agnostic rejections, morbid naoraliztng.aod a queer vein of genuine but broad humor, from the waip and- wool of hia stories. If the dramatis persona are mostly either fioads or fools, we have the satisfaction of seeing them gradually disappear aa the story is developed, and the curtaa falls upon a stage mat naa been clwred of many of the leading actors.

Ottawa, Oat., February lis "The Free Press (Liberal) which is opposed to ths governmeat under the heading "Treaty of Capitulation,'' says: "It is announced by a telegram from Washington that a treaty was signed' by the Fisheries Ccfiraissioiers yesterday evening, and tbat in- content would be made public at ones.- From tue remarks credited to Secretary Edyari it loots very much as if the treaty a mo anted to a complete earrender to the Americans. Sir Charles-Tupper appears to here hslijt until the 'rinsing of tbe second hell, oat pressure from Chamberlain proCabiy caasad h'm to cave in at last and to spree to anv terms tbat Bayard choe to dicta'e. of course, ths treaty is subject to ratification by the goveisment of Great TriUin, the PtfrUercer.- of Can aua, the Senate of ttie I'nltea States ar,d the Legislature of Newfoundland, and it is to be hoped that our Parliament will have sufficient indepeadenceio reject the treaty, if, as appears to be 'he case, it involves the surrender of Canada's tsieries without compensation." The Kvening Journal (Independent)iays: "Despite tbe lone; ccntinned croaking of Acslopfiobst correspondent tX Washington, the Fishery Commissioners have reached an agreement. The creamers, havirg be?n proven false prooheta as regards the commission, will now transfer their cirafciDK to the treatv. W e sall now, for a time, be deloged with prophectoetbat tbe treaty will- be objectionable to the United States or Canada , or England, cr all taree together. We are satisfied that Sir Charles Turper was peifectly competent to main tain Canadian rights, we ?jre satisned that Channerlain was competent to guard tbeimierial interests. Tni2-beiief would leave only the possibility that United States intf rests might snfler, but we suppose the United States representatives, watch htd more concentrated and deuite inter ests to guard than tne aoaoie oarretei British half of the commission, were q iite capable cf taking care ot their cae. If si x specially qualified representative men have . reecueu a uumiiuiuua bju.iuuu uu iua eubiect of the fishery ditiereuces between. the United States bnd Canada, it Is fair to assume for the presrnt that public opinion , on tbe continent will follown their wake." Otta a. Ont., Feoruary 1.. A. draft of tbe fishery treaty arrived from Washington yeotetday, and was, it is understood, con- -sidered at the meeting ol the Cabinet ia tbe afternoon. The nature ot tbe document will be kept secret until it ia laid before Parliament.
