BOSTON Advertiser: The name of the
clerk of the House of Representatives, Mr..
George Adams, is now openly connected
with the story of loss at the gambling ta-
BILE, of funds entrusted by Congressman to a
: high officer of the House. As to the truth
or falsity of the charge, the public is in pos
session of no evidence whatever, and it
would be grossly unfair to condemn any
body upon the unsupported gossip of Wash
ington tattlers. The object in calling atten-
ton to the affair now is merely to express
surprise-though as matter of fact it is
not surprising-that the Democratic papers
are so quiet about it. Perhaps they have
not heard of it. Perhaps they discredit it
on the broad principle that Democratic
officer is never faithess to his trust. When
an accusation, however unfounded, is laid
against Republican in office, they all be-
lieve it. Neither denial, nor lack of proof
OF guilt, goes for anything. If one could
depend upon the verdicts brought in by
Democrats, one-half of the prominent Off
GERS Of the last three administrations would
be guilty of fraud, corruption and misdoing
OF various kinds. Now that one of their
own party is charged with a. disgraceful
breach of trust they know nothing about it.
All of which is very edifying information
as to what might be expected if the ere
FORM which they think to be so necessary,
should be carried out.

The Irish Situation.

The English policy in Ireland is an un-
questionable failure. The coercion act
neither pacifies, nor suppresses disorder.
1t irritates the Irish people and the officers
appointed to execute it. The peasantry are
made desperate by the evictions, the mill
tary and the police have lost their temper
in the attacks to which they are subjected :;
and the consequence is many bloody riots.
Meanwhile the land bill is IN danger of be-
ing smothered in the Commons under a load
OF amendments. Over fifteen hundred have
already been offered, and if they are noticed
at all the entire session will be insufficient
for their consideration.
The prompt passage of the land bill would
not do away entirely with the Irish trouble,
but in all probability would ameliorate it
and reduce it to manageable proportions.
1t is not to be expected that a single act of
legislation, however broad and wise, can
wipe out the race-hatred of centuries or
efface the impression made by years of mis-
government. But the land-bill is long
stride in the way of progress. If made law
1t will work very sensible improvement in
the condition of industrious Irish tenants
without doing great injustice to the land
lords or seriously menacing vested rights.
The mass of the Irish people will accept it
as at least temporary settlement and will
refuse to follow the leaders who live on agi-
tation and only oppose the measure because
it deprives them of their occupation.
The chances, however, are against the
passage of the land bill, at this session.
Next session may be too late The Irish are
not in the mood to wait twelvemonth for
the redress of their grievances. If the bill
does not pass, bloodier riots than we have
yet heard of will happen, and perhaps the
island will break into open rebellion. The
insurrection will of course be put down
put down in blood and with brutality. The
when he is thoroughly mad
never contents himself with beating his enc
my; he always kicks a fallen foe. The Irish
will be subdued-for a time. After the
lapse of few years they will again rise
against their oppressors, and the often-told
story will be repeated. That is the gloomy
outlook now if the land-bill be defeated by
a union of Irish agitators and English OBJ
structives.

THE Railroad Gazette publishes a summa-
ry of railroad accidents in this country,
from which it appears there were 63 IN
April by which % persons were killed and
66 injured. In 3S of the accidents, or over
60 per cent. of the whole, nobody was hurt.
AS to the causes contributing to the acci-
dents, 10 per cent. is attributed to careless
ness at switches and about the same proper
ton to the weather OF the remaining dis
asters, 16 were collisions, 13 being rear COLI
sions, of which even double tracks have not
proved sure preventive. For the year end
ing with April there were 1854 accidents,
killing 3S5 and injuring 1878 persons. The
deaths were double those in the year ending
April, 1880; the accidents so per cent. great.

Statement of Mr.. Washington Monroe, of Catskill
Green County, New York


'For many years had suffered from complaint

some of the most noted doctors without obtaining
any permanent relief, and for long time my case
was regarded as hopeless. All who knew the cir

healthy man there is in the country.

SIX or seven years ago France adopted the
method of electing her deputies known as
the scrutin d'arrondissemeat. She is now
about to substitute for it the scrutin de I;ste.
Under the old system the electors of each
reimbursement or district voted for single
candidate. Under the new plan the voters
OF whole department vote for candidates
from all the districts in the departme Mt.
The difference is just that between the
methods of voting in the United States for
Members Of Congress and for Presidential
electors The change was strongly urged
by Gambetta, and its object was to concen-
trate the vote of departments in favor of the
dominant party, and to deprive the minority
OF the opportunity they now have to elect
members here and there in those arrondissl-
ments where their party happen to be strong
A similar advantage would be gained here in
those States where either party is strong
enough to carry the State, but is weak in
some districts, if all the members of Con-
gress for the State were elected on general
ticket

THE aesthetic craze which has furnished
such vast amusement for the people of the
British metropolis, and which has even in
vaded our prosaic shores, is not likely to
die out without enriching the language to
some extent In the London music halls
they have much fun listening to song
which Punch published, and which has for
refrain ''Dado, dado, da." Now a new
word is coined to be applicable to the high
professors of estheticism. They are to be
known rs the Dadocracy.

Days Pleasure and Other Sketches. BY
W. D. Howeils. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin &
Co.; Portland: Loring, Short g. HARMONY
This charming little volume is a welcome and
appropriate addition to the Little Classic Sc
ries. The sketches comprised between its COW
ers deserve to be ranked among the actual
classics of our literature, and are in Mr.. How
ells's best vein. The grace, briliance and po-
etc beauty with which he surrounds every
day topics, without any loss of practical reai-
ty, and with bright thread of the ost delicate
humor running through the whole fabric; the
pure and elegant English Of his style, never
tiresome and never affected; the sudden
touches of healthful human nature, and his
gift of putting things, which amounts to in.
spiration-all together make this little reprint
Of some of Mr.. Howells's sketches, one perfect
among books.

His Little Mother, and Other Tales and
Sketches. BY the Author of John Halifax
Gentleman. New York: Harper & Brothers;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony The
large circle of Mrs. Mulock- Craik' readers will
enjoy this volume which is made up of several
sketches written in her feeling and thoughtful
style. Some of these deal with the sorrows Of
the children of the poor, others are pleasant
"reminiscences of travel or essays upon social
subjects. His Little Mother, the opening tale
of the volume, will please those readers who do
not object to the over-tension OF quiet pathos,
which critics of a more lively mind somewhat
resent as an unnecessary cloud drawn between
them and the wholesome sun.

Knights of To-day. By Charles Barnard.
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony is daintily de-
vised volume, on the cover of which sits lit
tie Love, his bow laid aside, though tightly
strung, while he plays with the keys Of the
telegraph, and drives steam-engine through
plump and well-conditioned heart. All this
pretty masaue is typical of the stories oon-
tanned inside the volume, which are ingenious
in their applied science as affecting modern ro-
nance. Mr.. Barnard writes in rapid and ill.,
teresting style, in the direct and non-digressive
manner which is appropriate to the recital of
the doughty deeds of knights whose swords are
wires flashing with electricity, and who ride
on the steam engine which has superseded the
hippogrif Of our very greatgrandfathers many
lines removed. The romances of these knights
aud their ladies remind the reader of the
touching conclusion of the Frenchwoman, who,
because her fdnc6 went across tho park in
stead of around two streets as before, lamented
that his affection had declined in the. propor-
tion that the base of a triangle bears to the
sum of two of its sides. But with their pleas
ant mingling of the arts of storyteller and sci
entist-these novelettes of Mr.. Barnard's
should be included in every list of light read
ing for the approaching summer vacation.

modern manner of fiction il apt to lack move
ment, ought to enjoy Manuela Paredes. Yet
again it is possible and even likely that this
judicious class of readers. will be somewhat
amused at the amount OF wildly irresponsible
complication, into which, owing to the calmly
inexperienced and arbitrary way in which tho
author moves about the characters of the sto-
ry, they dive deeper and come out therefrom
dryer from the abysses of woe than any but
citizens of the land of make-believe could pos
sibly do.

Cyclopedia of British and American Poetry
Edited by Epes Sargent. (New York; Harper
& Brothers; Portland: Loring, Short &, Har-
mon) The compilation of this collection of
poems was the last literary work OF its editor,
whose life had been passed in literary pursuits.
His fine taste and large experience enabled
him to select iudiciously among the incalcula-
bly, great mass of English verse which has had
poetic vitality to survive the incalculably
greater bulk Of metrical writings which have
been reiegated to the waste basket and SO to
forgetfulness forever. AS for the contents of
this very elegant and substantial vslume- the
mechanical execution OF which deserves more
than passing word of praise-the reader will
be surprised to find how large is the number of
poets represented therein, and how aptly the
selections are made. Anonymous, too, an ex-
celIent author, is not forgotten; and no doubt
is to-dav blushing with pleasure as he sits at
home in his various native towns, to end his
work included in the cyclopedia. The intro
ductory notices of poets are notable for their
fine criticisu1-sometimes original and some
times quoted from literary authorities-and for
the compact and interesting sketches of their
subjects which they present. The cyclopeda
will be an unfailing source OF pleasure in ey-
cry household where it finds place; and, COM
prising poems from the earliest to the latest of
our language, is a literary possession of no
passing fashion, but of stable and perdurable
worth.
