She is given the shell or skeleton of a

given patterns, and she is expected to nc

ployers do not oare whether she buys,
begs, borrows or steals from the unpro.y ,n*r
tected English novels her dialogue and gt>1
her situations. This revelation explains too
why novels are now the work of rnanu*

- ? ? ? the
A. trade journal protests against the 4
threatened acclimating in this country soc
of a very unsound business practice, the 1
paying of "backsheesh," or in other 4 ol
words blackmail, to customers. The con- ,
., . lnt<
federation of the subject aro3o out of a
recent English lawsuit in which a former Co
employe of a firm, who had been discharged,
sought to recover and did re- ns^
cover damages from his former employer
for statements made to a subse- nei
quent employer. The employe had made 8h
certain disbursements which were not
approved of by his employer, and had
applied certain amounts he had collected gc
to these disbursements and declined to lit
pay over to employer said amounts.
During the suit it transpire I that it was
customary for the traveler to make oui jc
every week the li?t of tips he had given.
At Christinas he find to make out a li?t 8
of presents that ought to lie given to n
customers. In some case* it was a gift 8
of rroney; but it was undcrstoo I that no
traveler hart a right to give customers
money without the consent of the linn. "
It is this demanding of tips and presents 'j1
which constitutes blackmailing pure and j
simple,and which is so flagrantly abused c
in England that is now protested against, ^
and the introduction of which into thii |
country is so strongly deprecate 1. It is ]
pointed out that wc have not yet, and '
we do not want anything like the ;
"bean feast" of England, where clerks 1
and others in subordinate positions solicit
the customers of the firm for contributions
to the feast, under a tacit though
unexpressed threat that if .such contributions
are not fort'icoming, certain inflences
will be exerted to divert the custom
hitherto given to the person who refuses
the contribution.

"as a hotel-bred child is not likely to be

Therefore, the child must have a home,

much, and that the guardian should receive

He was at the home of his sister, and

i- twelve propositions.
e The Reformer lays down the foil
n ing propositions, and challenges anyb'
h to successfully contradict them upon
g authority of any respectable writer

a the past:
?r First: That the proper and real fi
's tion of money is to facilitate exchung
property.
* ^
'P Second: That the volume necessary d<
pends upon the population nod businet
of the country, ana not on the produc
,11 of mine*.
Third: That prices rise or fall in pro
tion to the increase or decreaae in th
volume of currcocy.
. Fourth: That coin money (gold am
' silver) has failed every civilized natioi
that ever tried it.
Fith: That when coin failed, nanet
a money
came to tlio rescue and answerer
every purpose of coin money,
ra Sixtn: Thi?t t? preserve uniform
'1C prices of commodities, we must save a
k- uniform volume of curroncy, expanding
13 as occasion requires.
>c Seveuth: That bnukers cannot be de"
pended upon to preserve a uniform vol5*
ume of curreucy.

not be sustaiued with pold and silver

1 Eleventh: That tho money of one

of an other; that tho balanco of trade
is adjusted not in money, but in coin a?
1 a eomminlity. The money of one nation
is not money in auy other untiou.

steadily, surely end in a
healthy manner. Enterprises that are
now being established iu the South are
put there to stay. They nre not being
projected to make a show of activity, but
to coutinue upon a legitimate, substantial
basis. Thcro is probably less
speculation in the South at present than
at any time in many years past, and this
is the most encouraging of tho present
situation. The South is moviug forward .
now upon the lines of conservative legitimate
business, and in the long run
this means more good honest money in
the pockets of ail concernod."

the following as being organized during
