The reason why o many books fail is hecause the peopie who wrote them have nothing original to say, orwhat they is said says a writer in Mur- \ Another reason is that of those who can write know any- thing. They have no invention. They do not see with their own o8, but with other people’s eyes. They write books about other people’s hooks and have little of their own to tell us. Chamfort g nother idea of authorship: “What makes the success of numerous he says, “is the aflinity between the modioerity of the ideas of the author and the mediocrity of the ideas of the public.” When an author has composed a work he necessarily takes an interest in it. Every writet of books, says Shelley, likes to breoch his bantlings. He may have spent many years upon it and prob- ably forms an excessive estimate of its value, He is under the impression -that most readers of books will desire to pos- sess it. - Lackington, the bookseller, tells the story of a gentleman who, not being able to find & purchesor for his manu- script, resolved to publish it at his own expense. The publisher desired to know how many copies should b printed. The gentleman began to compute how many families there were in Great Britain, and assured the that every family would at sublisher 3 L-:Hl|mv'\'hl\s--u|h- cony. Ho was of his opinion that at the lowest 60,000 copies only might be printed of the first edi- tion. The publisher prevailed upon him, much to his disgust, to print 1,250 in- stead of 60,000, Theresult was that only 100 copies were sold, not even enough to puy for the advertisements, and the author departed railing at the stupidity of publisher, bookseller and publi Boolewriting is quite as much a_spec lation on the one hand as bookselling is on the other, Only asmall number of the books published pay their expenses and very fow of them reach a second edi- tion, ery year,” says De Quincy, “buries its own litorature,” When dn author writes for monoy, he goes to the publisher and endeavors to sell him the manuseript for as much as he can get. Ho may got too little, or he may get too much. The pub- lisher takes tho risk, and incurs the expense of printing, binding and ad- vertising, If the book sells and the author thinks he has got too little, he proclaims t he has been outwitted and defrauded. But if the book does not sell, it never enters the author’s head to refund the copy money or re- turn the amount of loss to the pub- lisher, Both have run the risks of the speculation, and both must be content to abide the issue, SICPNLEN The British Census.

Passage of the Postoffice Appropriation Bill by the Senate, THE PENSION MEASURE ALSO ADOPTED. House Agrees to the Amendment Ex- tending Time of Paymens to Purchasers of Omaha Indian Lands. Wasnixoto, June 24.—In the senate today Mr. Call gave notice that he would tomorrow call up the adverse port from the committee on foreign relations on the resolutfon intro- duced by him relating to the independence of ba for the purpose of submitting somo remarks. ‘The conference report on the naval appro- priation bill was presented and agreed to. The senata then proceded to the considera- tion of the postofiice appropriation bill. Tn relation to the first amendment of the com- mittee, increasing the item for mail depreda- tions, postofiice directors’ feos and exponses from $250,000 to £300,000, Mr. Gorman spola of the postinaster general's plan for having additi detectives to inquirg into such small matters as to whether the patrons of a postoffice are satistied that the business of the office is well performed, whetherthe post- master employs members of his own family, whether intoxicating liquors are sold in the postoffice building and other matter. He objected to the proposition of the postmaster general to enter upon a systom such as ho suggested in his statement before the house committee—dividing the country into twenty six districts with a chief detective for each district and with a corps of detectives to be used for visiting local and ting “in touch with the people.” He (Gorman) did not want any postmaster general to ha force under him whose avowed duty it might be to go around among the people and get in touch” with them. Mr, Plumb also spoke against the amend- ment, but it was agreed to, as wero the other committee amendments, and the bill passed. The senate proceeded to consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriatioi bill. The prineipal amendments recommended by the committee have already been given in these dispatches. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreizn relutions, moved to increase the com- pensation of the minister to Turkey from 500 to $10,000. Agreed to. . r.

The senate then adjourned In the house today, after the journal had been read, Mr. Springer of Illinois cailed attention to the fuct that the legislative appropriation bills s amended by the senate, had been referred to the appro- priations committee without reference to the house. The speaker said the usual custom had been followed, that the Record had duly informed the house of the reference and therefore he declared the journal approved. WasHINGTON, Jund the appropriations committee upon the senate amendment to the legislative bill. “The revort of the committee was agreed to and a conference ordered. A conference was orderod on the bill to in- crease the number of manngers of the national home for volunteer soldiers. The senate amendment to the house bill to extend the time for the payment of the pur- chase money for lands of the Omaha Indians in Nebraska was agreed to, v, from the committee on rules, revorted the following: Resotved, That immediatoly after the pas- suge ot this resolutlon the house proceed to consider house bill 5,381 silver bill) with the senate & ments and at 2 o'clock Wednes- day. June 25, the. previous question shall bo considered as orde; 8 2 He demunnded the previous question on the adoption of the resolution,which was ordered, and twenty minutes' debate wus allowed on either side. There was considerable opposi- tion shown by the democrat Mr, McKinley said the pi lution was to socure definite and speedy ac- tion upou the subject of silver. It was results the vepublican side wus after, said Mr. Mc- Kinley, and politics the democratic side was after.” The bouse had passed the period of silver manipulation, It was face to face with a practical question—whether we we unlimited coinage of the ose of the reso- have free and v ounce of silver produced in tes and make it part of our tem. On motion of Mr..McK chaivman of the coinnge com- mitteo, preseited the roport of the commit- tee. Itsimply recommended that the house non-concur in each and all of the senato amendments to the silver bill und request a conference, Mr. Bland of Missouri moved that the houso concur in the senate amendments, With those motions pending the debate began. Mr servative measure, tion feature wus s ken out then the gov- crnment was placed in the position of buying gold and silver bullion and paying for it in silver coin, for that was the only money pro- vided for 'the purpose now. Free coinage meant a profit of §13,000,000 a yearto the bullion owners of this ntry. [t meant hould say to the world: “Bring us your silver und wo will give you 80 per more for it than you can got an) Mr. Conge eld that uuder the torms of th house bill silver and gold_would be equally within the reach of all, while if the Lo bill was passed the country would. bo driven to a silver basis. He held that under tho terms of the house bill silver would appre- cinte; under the terms of the senate bill, ho helieved, it would not. He wished his o leagues could understand tho pressure ! had been brought to bear by men inter tod in silvor speculation to secure silver legisla- tion, Not ounly have paid lobbyists been pl ing their vocation heve, but various othi means have been resorted to by silver specu- lators to procure legislation. Pool after pool had been organized in this city te speculate in silver. Money had been deposited 1 banks in this count hundreds and hundreds of thousands r to purchase bullion as soon as this logislation should pass, Those peoplo were opposed to the house bill. Why! Simply because if that bill passed they would baye to trust to the market value of their produc It the free colnage Dbill passed th congress of the Unitad States it would fix the value of it 80 . per cent above what silver was worth. He had been invited time and again to join silver pools, but as long as he had a seat here his voico should bo raised in behalf of the people of this country, for tho laboring man, for the savings bank depositor, for the crippled and starved soldiers of the countey. In con sion, Mr. Congor sald that if there was no sil- ver legislation tho responsibility would rest upon the advocates of free colhage because the delay up to this time rested largely upon thoir snoulders. Mr. Bland knew nething about any lobby. Ho had not seen it and had neyer heard of it 1f speculative pools had been orgauized they might have been founded upon & belief in the passage of the house bill, because 1t opewyi U dnor to the widest W oif One day there might be ten millions in the tronsurg ihd the next not w million.

No other Baking Powder is “just as good as the ‘Royal’” either in strength, purity or wholesomeness. The “Royal” is superior to all others in all ways. Most housekeepers know this from their practical experience, and the reports of the U. S. Government investigations show it officially. chemist says the “Royal” is “undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public.” If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the “Royal” they do so because they can make a greater profit upon the other; good evi- dence of the superiority of the “Royal.” To give greater profit the other must be a lower-cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with alum or cheaper and inferior materials. Because the “Royal” uses more highly refined and expensive materials it costs more to manufacture than any other baking powder, but it is correspond- ingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and accordingly of greater money value to consumers, although the retail price to them is generally the same. Consumers are entitled to full value for their money, and therefore will not, if wise, accept any substitute for the “Royal.” Unfortuna from inferior and unwholesome materials, but they are placed before the public with advertisements intended to misl advertised by its manufacturers to have printed upon its label all the ingredients used in it, proves upon analysis to have in its composition four substances no named upon its label, two of which are lime and sulphuric acid. Most of the alum powders are fraudulently sold as pure cream of tartar goods The danger incurred, should such powders be substituted for the *“Royal,” tely, not only are many of these would-be substitute powders made will be apparent to every consumer.
