TALMAGE AT HOME.
It seems that Dr. Talmage has
not been excessively popular with
the New York editors. '
The Times considers his resigna
tion rt length and regards it as a
matter for public rejoicing. Here
is the Time’s estimate: “That a
Talmage, after a certain lapse of
time, would “play out”; that is a
conclusion that every lover of civili
zation was bound to entertain. Tal
mage is in theology what every cur
rent “cheap jack” is in his own de
partment. In journalism, in litera*
ture, in art, in the drama, in every
thing that transcends the bargain
counter, the hope of the lover of
civilization must hive been that a
time would come when people wou Id
distinguish for themselves betwten
what was evanescent and what was
permanent, between what was false
and what was true.”
With a bitter sneer the Times
observes: “That Talmage has been
for the past twenty years, the most
popular and successful preacher in
this part of the United States. The
common people have heard him
gladly, and the more gladly the
commoner they are. He has never
had anything to say to any edu
cated or fasUdious or sensitive per
son. The commoner his audience
the moie he has had to say to it.”
THE COMMON TASTE.
A St. Louis editor affirms that the
people no longer read poetry and
drama. He has investigated and
found that of the total number of
books sent out by the libraries of
the leading cities less than 4 per
cent pertain to poetry, drama and
art.
Os course we don’t want to admit
that we do not read these things.
Few intelligent people will admit
that they have not read Homer, and
Shakespeare, and Milton and Dante.
Oh, yes, they are familiar with the
works of all the masters, but what
do the library records show?
The truth is that about all the
higher poetry people read now-a days
is the little glimpse of Virgil and
Horace they get at school. In how
many homes can be found a volume
of Shakespeare or Milton, or even
Longfellow which is opened once a
year?
The men don’t want them, they
read newspapers. The boys don’t
Want them, they read Town Topics
and detective stories. The ladies
don’t want them, they read light
novels and the fashion magazines.
And the girls, they don’t need them,
they read moonshine love stories
and go into a fit about Algernon and
Marguriette at the sea side.
By the cultured and scholarly
few the masters will always be read
and studied, but the great mass of
the people will forever read only
news and fiction and diluted moon
shine.
ANOTHER AFRICAN SCHEME.
The latest African emmigration
scheme has developed at Birming
ham. r
It is the same old idea on a differ
ent scale. A company has been
chartered which proposes to build
its own steamers for the transpor
tation of the negroes to their father
land. There they propose to pur
chase land on which to plant their
colonies. The scheme looks plausi
ble enough provided the money can
be raised, but it is very probable
that this project will follow its prede
cessors to the oblivion of Scheme
land.
The Middle Georgia progress is

a It h striking to think that there
are only about 87.000 persons in the
United States who are in receipt of
an income of $4,000 or upwards
which would be taxable under the
proposed income tax measure. Yet
that is the general estimate made,
and it is doubtless approximately
correct. There are several fortunes
of $50,000,000 in the country, and
some above that mark, but the en*
tire number of millionaires in the
country is probably fairly estimated
at some four or five thousand. This
estimate truly seems astonishing
when we look at the fact that the
nation has about 70,000,000 of pop
ulation who are active, enterprising
and aggressive far above the level
of any European country, and that
abounds in inexhaustible resources
of almost every character. Wh : le
this estimate probably places the
great body of the people further
down in the scale of individual pos
sessions than it was generally
thought they should be rated, it also
serves to show the power of the few
who control the great wealth over
the affairs of the country.
