Te am. who have tall this hnrrasalng tin
pleasantness, this dlssatlsracllen In the midst
,el their admiration and enjoyment el the
productions of this wenderful literary artist,
1 would recommend a llttle lioek Just Issued
by Harer.t llrothers, New Yerk. Jt Is net
long It Is quite unassuming and modest In
Its pretenslnns but It Is decidedly the best
critique or (Jeerge Kllet that has been writ

numlwrer books utxmt her and her works la
legion. The tllle el the neat llttle volume la
11 (Jeerge Kllet and Her Heroines," and It Is
rrem tlie Kin of a woman, Mrs. Abba Uoeld
Woolson.
Mrs. Woei.hon has as ardent an 'admira
tion tar (Jeerge Kllet, tlm literary artist, as
evon her most enthusiastic aderers could de
mand. Hhe says, for oxatnple, and truly :
11 Whatever rich girts the luture may have
In store for Us readers, it Is doubtful If evor
again upon the novelists' page will he found
such nice observation of character and life,
such searching analysis or motive, such rich
ness of humor, such universality of learnlng
and deplh of thought. These rare qualities
have wen Irem horcontotnporariosthoimmo hercontotnporariosthoimmo horcentotnporariosthoimmo
dlato and earnest attention of net merely the
ordinary novel-reader, but of philosophers,
scientists and observant men et allalrs ; and
sucii recognition, we must bolleve, they will
continue te demand." Certainly no one will
question me intellectual power anu ability
of a woman who, In her hours nl recreation,
diverted her mmd by reading Ilorbert Upon Upen Upon
cer's Principles of Psychology, perhaps the
most Intricate nml tlllllcult et any of that pre-
leunii iiiuiKer s vei u men.
In seme important respects (loergo Kllet
was the Kligllsh furerunner orthe Amerlcan
Jauusv-Hewells school ortlctlen. First of nil
is her subtle analytic skill, te which Mrs.
Woolson refers when she nays : " Hhe re
produces tar us, nlse, the Inuer liroef her
characters ; we soe the workings of thought
and conscience, detect the hopes that lmis)l,
the;fears that restrain, and thus become spec
tator or two related contests. Itoyend the vis
ible drama. In which her boreos play thelr
part lielern men, we witness the warfare
within the soul, of which outward nets are
but the results." .lust in this, loe, It seems
te me, likelier American successors, though
In less degree, she semetimes becomes wear-
Isome ami tedious. Hhe tells us tee eften
and minutely what Is the sUtoef mind el
her characters, Instead or letting thelr actions
reveal It.
Hut: certaluly does also share with Juntos
nnd Hewells unother conspicuous fault. Her
fully equipped nnd finely drawn characters
don't de anything cemmensurate with thelr
abilities. This is probably ene element, If
net the chlel one, or our sonse or disappoint disappeint disappoint
inent after reading her novels. Hy bringing
lorero usher line characters, and showing
forth nil their X)lnts, she raises our expecta
tions te the highest pitch. AVe eagerly wait
for some great, luierUint, herein action en
the part or such beings. Hut the action nover
takes place. Thelr deeds are commonplace.
Net tar lack efuhility, but usually tar want
el opportunity. 'Clie novelist falls te put
thorn Inte circumstances which shall call
forth thelr jiowers, thelr splendld gift, and
lead them en te great nml neble careers.
This I mn net but think Is u defect, an Impcr Impcr
lectlnn and blemish In the novelist's art. It
Is n lack or balnnce Iwlween the characters
and the action that spoils the symmetry, the
perfect harmony, or the story.
Mus. Woei.hon ielnts out an Interesting
factor n dillerent character which probably
has net loon noltced by overyone, but
which, novertholes, Is striking!' true.
" Wbonevor (loergo Kllet rails te glve Indi
viduality nudsubsUince te her charactem, it
Is te theso tar whose oxisteucoshomostcares.
Her favorite heroes are the very men wheare
net always attractive, or even alive. Doreuda,
whom she petted, remains te us n shadow ;
and Mlrah scarcely treads the solid earth.
The .lows who surround thorn are llttle hot
ter than a cloud or witnesses. Hut then we
must admit that throughout that portion or
her writing which duals with the Je wish
prnblem her genius well-nigh forsakes her.
" Perhas her most conspicuous fallure ap
peara lu the presentation et .Savonarola.
With nil her ellert he seems te shrink ner
vously rrem our g.ve, rather than te stand
lerth sharply outlined against the shirting
turmoil of Florentlno lift, llke a mighty
moral ngent dominating the scene. It Is his
Isibl, aggrosslve prime which she soeks te
depict; jet a something weak nnd negative
converts, the grand, awe-lnspiriug iloneuucor
of his country's crime nml tallies Inte a
petty, Inconspicuous, lutormeddling monk.
vVe stand expectant amid the multitudes at
his feet ; but he fails te sway us with his Im
passioned tnnes. It Is morely a preoccupied,
vanishing ligure that con I run Is Hemela upon
the highway, nml bids her return te her dos des dos
elalod home ; net the atom personification
of awakened couscienco and Inoxnrable duty.
Tlie appeal of n commanding, earnest soul,
the ring or nn luiorleus voice, the dellant
cliallonge of a nobler, purer patriotism than
lier own theso marks of the lnaplred prophet
nnd patriot are net thore."
Willi. i: all that has been said no doubt en
ters into Uie goneral impression of unBallsfao unBallsfae unBallsfao
terlnoss and even werse which her novels
loave en many readers, 1 bolleve the real
cause el It lies doeH)r. It Is a feeling in
which the ethical eloment is n cliier racter.
The intellect may be satlslled ; the u-sthotle
leellngs may even, partly at least, be gratl gratl
lled ; but still thore e.ver Is something ossen essen
tlal wanting, and that is the approval of our
moral sonse.
1 r took me a whlle le roalire this. Fer
(loergo Kllet is what ene commonly calls pre
eminently a " moral writer." Hhe makes a
specialty, I may say, el enforcing, often
trenchantly and always tieautlfully, the com.
men, overy-day duties, the ordinary virtues
nnd mornlitles, et human Intercourse and
life, Indoed It Is the stiess she lays en theso

Dorethoa contracts two unsuitable marriages,

scurity, with all her rare endowments un un un

for that enlightened philanthropic labor
which alie was fitted te achieve, ana tar
which she se strenueusly aad pathetically
ought, was nover found. Peer Gwendelen1
let Is the saddest of all, slnce (he has nel,llke
the ethors, nn untroubled conscience te sus
tain nor in tne wreeK or an ner nenes." ah
this Is surely anything but uplifting and en
nobling. It is discouraging and dopresslng
te the last degree.
Tin: third artlcle or (loergo KUet'a creed
was a necessary oensoquenco el the ether
two, which "required her te consider only
man's relations upon earth with tallow-men;
and, accordingly, she dellnes duty te be that
course of action which tends te make these
around us the happiest possible, or rather the
least mlaorable. Itlght and wrong resolve
thomselvos, then, Inte a mero question of re
sults. An act must Indicate Its near and
ultimate sequences botare 1U place can be
assigned lu tlie category or moral acts.
"Much thing as Rbsolute right can have
no oxlstence in her moral world. Te at.
tempt te de one's duty, rogardless of conso censo conse
quonces, would be simply an absurdity :
slnce consequonoos are the chlel factor In de
termining what duty Is." It Is the utllitar
' Ian pesltlvlst's idea of duty, that denies the
authority of coniclenco, and calls tbe moral
sonse a mero Irrational sonllmenlallly or
prejudice.
It Is the unconscious application of this
terly inadequate and narrow utilitarian
prindple that leads te seme of the most un
satisfactory and unpleasant situations anil re
sults In her nevels. First of all, tn all ques
tions of grave elblcal import, of choice be
tween geed and evil, right and wrong, It pro pre pro
sents the cheice as a matter of calculation,
net of Intuitive obndlenco te prluclple tar the
principle's sake. This In Itself and at once
has a weakenlng, I might say, degrading
elleet. It retis virtue or Its garb or celestial
beauty, and brings It down te a mere matter
et earthly profit and less. "Her heroines,"
says our crltle en this point, "brought te con
front such a problem, and standing Irreso
lute before It, show no instant recognition of
the nature of the two courses bofure thorn,
and make no appeal te (led or te time
honored principles of right as thelr stay and
ilefence agalnBt temptation. Instead of this
they are represented as undergoing a
strangely protracted oxerclse of mind, with
the purpese of determining which is the
right and which the wrong of the two oppo
site paths." Although the cheice or her
characters in most cases ultimately results
correctly j yet tlie very ract that they hoslta heslta
ted, calculated, and weighed the reasens pre
and con as they did, betare making It,
dlvesls It or most or Its geed Inlluonce en the
reader, takes away the charm et sjienUnelty
from Uie virtue, casts a shadow of self con
sideration and self-lnterest ever the transac
tion, In short takes ail its Infectiousness and
enthusiasm out of the goodness, lleaulcs all
which It Is unreal and untrue.
Moni:evKit, as might le expected, If vlrtue
and vice are mere matters or calculation nud
opinion, it sometimes happens .that the
opinion et the writer does net accord with
that or the reader ; that the former calls cor cer
tain actions right which thorestortho world
always did and ever will call wrong. Hew
In this wise (loergo Eliet's theory or ethica
did vloleuce te that of llie whole Christian
world by her living ns she did with Mr.
Lewes Is known te all. It Is ovldenced Just
as clearly lu the case of several or her
borelnes. As Mrs. ; Weel son says, "Her
heroines shock us occasionally, when they
de net shock her. Thelr most Important
acts sometimes appear at vanance with attri
butes previously assigned thorn, and are
needlessly Ignoble and weak. Such mistakes
Include Maggie's flight with Stephen Ctutst
a false and impetent outcome of the ard
ent seir denial and exalted aspirations el
Maggle's youth, and a weak point upon
which te turn the determining Issues or iier
premising lire. Hardly mero satisfactory are
Deronda's acqnloscenco In a socret corres
pondence with Gwendelen, as the best means
or strengthlng her geed resolves; and Adam's
marriage te Dinah, with their subsequent pro
saic careers. These nre mistakes against
which all renders pretest."
It must net be imagined from the quota
tions I have glven that "(Jeerge Kllet and her
Horelnes" Is throughout an ad verse criticism
of the great novelist, or that It dees net fully
approclate all her oxcelloncos, anil her nobll nebll
bllity of character, powerful Intellect, warm
heart, and matchless strength and bklll as a
tliluker and writer. It does all this and
mero. lu short it Is tbe most thoughtful,
most thorough, and the rullesl nnd fairest
study of tho.lnterestlng subject I have yet
seeii, and a model or its kind In spirit and ex
ecution. MrsWoelson's evident oagerness
te claim (loergo Eliet ns the great standard
bearer and champion or her sex In the strug
gle tar woman's rights and tar emancipation
Irem the tatters of a conventional age, makes
her criticisms all the mero welgbtv and
worthy of earnest consideration and respect.
We are nil the mero certain that It is net pre
judice or the doslre te Ittlittle this champion,
but only the welght of unquostleuablo evi
dence, the tarce et truth upon nn honest nnd
slncore mind, that cause her te ex press this
emlnently J ust verdlct, wltli which all who
study tbe subject must, 1 think, agree :
"Itisevldeiit that thn theory of Hta and
morals which (loergo Kliot espoused tends
te rob the soul el its noblest attrlbutes of
faith, bone, con rage and joy, of deep rover revor rover
onco, lervent gratitude ami scrcne content.
In the light of its teadilng, human exlstence
contract Its boundless soeo und lefty alms,

As n train of cars was pleughing IU way

A young parson sat down boslile her,
And shu tnllcetl thu man near te death

And never ence ttoppeit te take breath.
When a change came ever his Ueiueaner,

Tha right-Tim Candidates Fer Heme or
Th lUmslnlng enirvs In the Ilia
Yr Ami Their I'rniperti,
Although thellenublican tirlmarv election
will net be held until next April or May can
didates for the several big ofllces nre already
stirring about anil ondenvorlng te 11 x thelr
friends In thoaevornl tawnshltis. The con cen cen
test for prothenntary will lie ene of the most
exciting In (he history of the Ilepubllcnn
party. Jt looked for a whlleas If l,ew Hart-
man and Ham Matt Frldy would be the rival
candldateaforthe oil Ice. Kech bad it ene tertn
nd it was 1'rldy's declaration that be would
boa candidate that Induced Lew Hartman te
announce himself also asacandldate. Frldy
may have been honest In his Intentions te
run again tar the ofllce, but he is net new In
the field. He was forced out through the
uoiecticc et seme or bis strongest frlends,
who are for Hartman, bocause Hartman was
tar Htehman, first, last and all the tlme in
the last campaign. Without Hartman, Hteh
man could net have pulled through. He
knows It His frlends knew 1L Whlle
Htehman's friends would like te soe Matt
Frldy In seme position they cannot and will
net go back en Hartman.
Naturally enough the political enemies of
Hartman have been looking around tar a
candidate te put against him. A number
were approached, among thorn Hamuel Sol Sel Sol
demrldgo, one of the solid men of the ! a rul
ers' bank. Mr. Beldomrldge positively re-
fused te go Inte any contest for n county
ollleo. Jehn W Mentzer, it appears, was the
oemmlttoo or ene appointed te leek tar a can
didate, and after mature rellectlen, he con
cluded that as he could net get a strong can
didate, he would Imltate Itess Kelly, of New
Yerk, and run himself for the ofllce. He
breached the matter te a few or bis conlhlon cenlhlon conlhlen
tlal political frlends and they soeinod te think
that it was lust the thing. He has been
sounding his frlends all ever the county nnd
he says be has received onceuragoment
enough te warrant his being a candidate.
MENTZEK A JIAttD WOBKnit.
Mentzer la a bard worker and geed organ
izer, but ir he wants te beat Hartman It will
take harder work than he ever did before.
Levi Nensenig hates Mentzer and he will de
anything In the world te beat him. AH the
combinations that Ievl makes will have but
one object In view the defeat of Mentzer. As
te perquisites roceved from county ofllces,
Mentzer and Hartman are about square.
While It is true that Hartman was protho pretho prothe
notary, Mentzer was prison-keeper in the
years age, and net se many at that, when the
keeper received se much per meal ler con
victs and bums, and these were the days
when county auditors did net interfere with
the pleasant pastime of magistrates commit
ting from 20 te 100 bums per day.
W hen Mentzer gets fairly started In tbe
campaign leek out for seme of his ramous
"gardunes " He will have a special artist at
work) te show up the rascality or Levl's
friends and in return the honest voter will
be told by Levi, hew (luav tried le cerrunl
them by the use of thousands or dollars sent
Inte tbe county en the ove of the last primary
election.
Nothing new has dovelopod lately in the
slierlirs contest. The leading candidates
will be Deputy Hlppey, Abe Keller and Jehn
Sldes. Columbia will net ask anything but
Illppey.and the vete or that Imreugh will go
te whatever combination Hippey makes, and
It will go solid.
Till! PHIIIT FOIl IlKOISTKH.
Fer register the leadiug candidates will be
Oeyer, or the Franklin house, formerly of
Warwick, and City Treasurer Myers. Levi
will he put In n box if both theso candidates
remain in tbe Held, He is a personal frlend
of Oeyer, nnd was ler him the last time, but
many of Myers' political frlends nre also
Levi's friends, and it will be hard for him te
mabSSaajhoice between the two. EH'erta will
be made te switch Myers te the quarter ses
sions olllce. lletwoen the two ofllces thore is
comparatively llttlodillerenco, as te emolu
ments, at tbe end of the term.
Candidates for the winning olllces are Hu
morous but as te several of thorn, the ethor
candidates have net yet been announced.
THK COUNTV COMMISSIONERS.
Commissioner Myers may or may net be n
candidate tar ro-electlon. He is ready te re
sign te-morrow If his administration of the
olllce of commissioner has net been satisfac
tory, and he might be induced te bike only
one mero term just te llnlsh thn Jail pro
viding the orectlon Is begun in his present
term.
"VodeIorStahuiyonmynBgound"ninrlch
wants a second term, and If bard work will
get it he will turn up all right. He has nt
this time the support of the nldormen nnd
constables, bocause he has been ready at nil
times te pay them their Just dues.
Al. Werth, of Celcrnln, will be a strong
candidate, but if be dees net get in ene of
tlie combinations he will be short. Christ
Stener's frlend, A. W. Hnrnlsh, et l'oquen,
would like te be a commissioner, nnd he
could till ene nt the easy chairs In that olllce
very com tartably. lie will make n light tn
get in ene or the rings. Either will suit
him. Whether hog or bull ring, will make
no d 111 Kronen.
cm;uk or iiuaiiteii sessions.
Jehn I). Clinten will ceme up smiling tar
the quarter sessions clerkship, as he has for
the past 'JO years. He has a strong persenal
following, but he has never been nble te get
in a combinatleu. iroitherouo or the fac
tions would take him he would be made
easily. The only strong candidate thus far
named Is l'etls, efStrasburg. Jehn Sollon Sellon Sollen
berger, of Leaceck-, who ran for register
threo years age, and who disgusted many of
his frlends by withdrawing en the ove of the
primary, without consulting them, may be a
candidate tar this olllce. He would profer te
run ler register, but he will hurt lieyer, and
If be can be lnduced te run tar quarter ses
sions he will be a strong candidate for that
olllce.
j untii: KiiKiu.Y.
Adam Kberly and his frleuds are ready te
make terms with nud el the candidates who
will be tar Adam J. Eberly for Judge of the
orphans' court In 1S00. Tbere are a number
et ether attorneys who would also like te be
Judge, but they are afraid of Adam's great
lielltlcal streugth and the Hhoeneck. states
man may have the Held te himself.
This Is the last whack for the big olllces,
under the feo system. With 1S90 the county
will be one of the second class, and the olll elll
cers will be salaried, and that Is the reason
wny se many win de candidates this year.
Under tbe salary bill requiring the personal
attention of the elected elllcer (providing
the law Is strwtly enforced) a number of
theso who will be candidates this year, would
net be competent te discharge the duties of
the eillces te which they aspire.

An Illustration of hew easily the subllme
may be turned into the ridiculous occurred
Wodnesday ovenlng at the Chestnut street
theatre. During the third act or "Mary

audionce wero endeavoring te hide unblddeu
tears or sympathy with the misrortuiies of
the unfortunate quoen, a small black kitten,
evidently the pronerty of ene of the attaches
ofthe theatre, suddenly darted from the wings
and gazed with an appearance of attention at
Mortimer and tlie AVirf Leicester, who
were maintaining an animated conversation
regarding the rescue or the Scottish soverelgu.
The appearance or the fellue materially
changed the aspect or the play, aud tears wero
succeeded by a rlnple of laughter. Twice
after lis successrur debut the vonturesomo
kitten reappeared upon tlie stage and mani
fested a desire te Jein lu tlie performance.
At last the owner managed te coax her back
into the wings, but uet until the spectators
were convulsed with laughter, especially at
the unsuspicious perseverance et tbe actors,
who, until their exit, did net learn what was

The Qaiublluc Girl.
rrem the l'hlladelphla Lcdger,
Thore are se many ways In which girls can
I e amusing, entertaining and useful te thorn thorn
selves and ethors that It seems a great pity
that any of them should resort te the com
mon vlces of cearse iiieu. That they de se in
llie ovetilnK onlertainmonts of private and
olegant homes and at tbe most fashionable
siimmer resorts, appears le he beyend ques
tion. And that tlie results will appear in unlooked-for
demoralization in tbe luture or
what is called i;oed society may Ik) set down
ns among the corlalntles of natural law.
Yeung ladies may net be oxpressly suscepti
ble te such prosy moral arguuients, hut they
should net forget that tlie young men who
8amble wllh them, and who appear te enjey
ie fun, lese thelr rospect for young ladles In
the exact measure that the latter cease te be
governed hy tlne womanly feeling and
standards of character. Men may laugh at
thoshrevvdnoasofaBirlln a caoie or cards
ter stakes, hut she la net the girl they will
uuniuiiijiiuiuruiu uiey care te marry.
That is an argument te the quick, and may
ilnd Its way home. Tlie man who marries a
gambling girl Is already an Incipient suitor
in
i a divorce court"
