Magazine Notices.

Two Of the INST notable papers in the Jsnua-
ry-February number of the International Revie,o
are by German writers. Imperial Federalism
in Germany, by Baron Won Holtzendorh Of
Munich is consideration of the new imperial
constitution from a North German point of
view. The writer is not sanguine of its suo-
cess, for the new order of things has no basis in
tradition or long usage, and is not we'll fitted to
the needs Of the people. Even the much
praised codifcation of laws does not altogether
meet with his approval, for the right of trial
by jury is not recognized. Tho other article
from German pen, and of grea. interest to the
general reader as well as to the archie ologisf,
is an account by Professor Cnrtius of the re-
suits of the second seasons excavations at
Olympia and an estimate of the historic and
artistic value of the treasures there nnearthed.
The other papers of the number are all of in
terest and some Of them Of great value. Whit
tiers sonnet on Theirs has been copied into
these columns. David A. Wells furnishes the
first installment of paper on Elements Of
National Wealth, in which he treats Of the
conditions OF national abundance, of the rela-
tions of capital to national develo pment, of
lenders and borrowers, employers and em-
ployed, and Of wages aud interest. Edward A.

propounds sound financial doctrine. Dr.. Sam

advances the idea that the modern literary
treatment Of that passion cau bs traced to

The Temperance cause was never more prosperous
in the State than now, for which we should be most
grateful. Still there are important sub
jects which will demand our attention. Shall we
ask for any change amendments in the Prohibi-
tory Law? Shall we protest against granting license
to sell intoxicating liquors to the druggists? Shall
we ask for any more stringent penalties TO be infict
ed upon persons found intoxicated? These, and
other important questions will doubtless demand the
attention of the conyention.
Let there be general rally. The usual reduction
