Probably since Thackeray held up Pendennis to the admiration of young Englishmen, there have been many ambitions whetted, many careers established, and many disappointments endured by those who are anxious to win the laurels of Litera ture by snatching them from the brows of the unworthy. The position of the reviewer has been, on the whole, honourable and enviable. Macaulay, following on that brusque “Quarterly” which used to be accused of having killed Keats, showed an admiring early Victorian world how a poet like Robert Montgomery may make a humourist of an historian and a butcher of an appraiser. We live in different days; yet it is time we stood on the threshold of a reaction that should render possible a twentieth-century “Dunciad”. The whole trouble has arisen because Mr. Arthur Benson, mildest of philosophers and most urbane of essayists, has ventured to express in the columns of the Tribune his appreciation of the good manners displayed by the modern re viewer who almost universally refrains from the slightest discourtesy. In his essays Mr. Benson re peatedly speaks of his love of peace, quiet, reflec tion; and one sympathises readily with a frame of mind for which a murmur of gentle remonstrance is ample criticism. But, asks Mr. Cosmo Hamilton in a characteristically perky letter, is it right that this should be so? Mr. Hamilton is un nerved by the obsequiousley honeyed phrases of the reviewers, and quite rightly, we think, blames a particular type of reviewer whom he saddles with the whole mischief. The fact is that reviews are too often regarded, even by the prin cipal journals, as something inconsequent and al most negligeable. Books fall into young and in competent hands, and are dealt with as green en thusiasm or morbid knowledge suggests. Young men and young women, with the best intention in the world, continue day by day to extol nonsense and competence with superb indiscriminateness, and as an -immediate result we find a steady output of trashy fiction and a steady stream of faithful readers. Meanwhile, the reading and appraising of nonsense is a task that few men of any standing in letters could be induced to undertake. The labour has grown so specialised as to require a sacrifice of time and activity from men whose abili ties are too great to be altogether altruistically employed. The public is misled, and the publishers, being neither angels nor idealists but men of business, follow the public. The circumstance suggests that, if criticism cannot be competent, there is at least more to gain from abuse than from courtesy. If in their fulminations the beardless arbiters of public taste were to exercise the indiscriminate violence of former days, one might hope for some sort of sur vival of the fittest; it is the sugared serenity of their method that is so misleading. The “superior person” of ten years ago is being replaced by a critic priding himself on a sympathetic or synthetic rather than on an analytical bias. A little plain speaking, where one really holds an opinion, is surely worth all these suburban amenities which after all, as Mr. Cosmo Hamilton justly remarks, savour somewhat of the counter and the shop-window.

FAMINE AT SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. San Juan clc Porto Rico, September 24. The failure of the crops has caused a terrible famine among the inhabitants of the island.

THE RAILWAY SCANDALS. New York, September 24. An Official Receiver has been appointed for the New York City Railway Company. This company has the contracts for the greater part of the over ground railways in New York. London, September 24. The Directors of the Cunard Line have issued the following reductions in prices, which are to come into force on November 1 for passages from East to West, and immediately for passages from West to East. For the “Lusitania” £14.10, for the “Campania” and “Lucania” 10 guineas, for the “Carmania”, “Caronia”, “Etruria”, “Umbria”, “Ivernia” and “Saxonia” £10. Ottawa, September 24. The Canadian-Pacific and Allan Lines have also agreed to reduce their tariffs. Their charges are, for the first class $55 and $45, for the second class $45 and $35. Higher charges will be re tained for the “Empress” of the Canadian - Pacific Line and the “Virginian” and “Victorian” of the Allan Line. The Dominion Line is also making appreciable reductions. The result of this general decrease will probably be that travellers from the Central and Western States will avail themselves of the Canadian routes. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL AIR SHIP ASCENT. The Schwdbische Merkur learns from Friedrichs- hafen that Count Zeppelin’s renewed ascent on Tuesday was extremely successful. At 11.45 a. m. the air-ship sailed straight from Manzell to Kon stanz, along the Bodensee, and then straight back to Friedrichshafen. Here it took the direction of the Kurhaus and the Royal Palace. Finally it re turned to Manzell and alighted safely. The ship sailed with great sureness and grace; the steering was accurate. It is further reported that at 1.45 p. m. the air-ship passed over Lindau and executed various movements with ease. Its speed against the wind was considerable. INTERNATIONAL PRESS CONGRESS.
