decided stand in politics. and says OF tho Prosi-

MR. LoSdrELLow and his critics, MATTHEW An
MOLD and his poems, and the Catholic Church and
modern civilization, nll reviewed" by the
Nation. We are told that "AIr. IoNorHLLow has
mado n translation which is not only tho most
faithful, but Ia the most poetic, and will bo tho
most popular of tho versions OF tho divine
Comedy" Mr.. ARNoLDs critic says "Although
the quantity OF verso written nowadays is far
greater tban at any previous tn1o, no ono will be
rcndy to assert that thcro is proportionnto in
crease of true poetry. The faculty OF Yerse-writ-
ing and OF expressing thought, sentiment, or ONO
ton in poetic form, becomes moro common with
tho increase of general culture But culture,

ductive Of it,, and an nge of culture may
bo abnndantly fertile in excclIont verse
whio it may remain barren of tho poetry that
has permanent, absolute, and universal worth.
The dangers of the Republican party nro consid-
orod by the Nation, and wo aro told: ''The result
of the elections in Maino and California conveys
ono or two lessons which, We fcoi satisfied from
what occurred at tho Massachusetts Convention,
the Republican party will take to heart Tho ono
ia tho danger Of relying too much ON party dis
ciplnc, or oven tho goodness of the principle on
which tho party is based; and tho other is tho
danger OF importing too much Of the Puritan
spirit into politics." Also, that: "Purtanism has
had a nobo history, and has accomplished mar
vclous results. 1t is through and through heroic
and solf-sacri0cing, even whom it has wandered
furthcst from tho perfect law of liberty. It's ca
recr in the future may bo as glorious as in the
past IL it will froe itsof from its bad tendencies
will learn that liberty OF thought is as sacrod as
emancipation of the body, and that legal restraints
should havc nothing TO do with moral ucta. It Ia
hardly necessary that wo should mako the appli-
cation OF all this to tho attempts which ure bsing
mado in Massachusetts and Maine to enforce by
law standard of private morals for which, no
matter how it may be- tho community is evidently
| not prepared"
