The Boston Advertiser, speaking of the
Irish question, says: Attention has been
called to the fact that the Irish make no
special efforts for winning friends to their
cause. In England, 1t is safe to say, the at
tempt is more successful than can be agree
able to the Irish leaders. The City Council
of Londo; has voted e210 for the support of
ladies who suffer because their tenants 10
Ireland refuse to pay rent, although they
are able to do so. The act is in itself of very
slight value; hut it is ominous in that it indi-
Gates the arousing of the British temper
and the approaching end of English forbear-
ance. Be it just or iniquitous. polite or
unwise, there is growing sentiment in
England that trial by jury should be sus-
pended in ireland. The strongest Irishman,
on the other hand, will not deny that in a
hand-to-hand trial of strength they are like
ly to be defeated. The question therefore
arises whether the happiness of Ireland
the only true object-can not be attained
by other means than those now favored by
the leaders of the Irish people.

James 7. Fields. Biographical Notes and
Personal Sketches Boston Houghton, Mif
fin & Co.; Portland: Loring, Short s. Harmonl
1t was particularly fitting that memorial vol
ume should be prepared, giving the details Of
the life of Mr.. Fields; life so intimately con-
nected with literature that it seems fairly to
belong to the public whose taste he served and
helped to form for so many years. Number
less are the pleasant memories OF him, and the
anecdotes which are told concerning his kind
ness to literary folk. He met many distin-
guished people, and took great delight in their
society; while pleasant testimonies remain, in
social notes and in verse, Of their regard for
him. He had positive genius as publisher;
when boy, serving in the bookstore of Carter
and Hendee, he could tell by intuition, to the
great amusement Of the other clerks what
book an incoming customer would ask for, and
was not often wrong in his judgment. Ttis
subtle sense of the relation Of people and
books Of course was most beneficial to him in
his later career as publisher. Letters to and
from Mr. Fields, and witty notes concerning
the adventures of his lecture tours, mako up
large part of this memorial volume, which is a
Characteristic remembrance of him rather than
a formal biography; and which must recall
him vividly to the many friends who enjoyed
his personal acquaintance

Pain in the Back and Side.
There is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can be removed and
the disease cured BY use Of Perry Davis
Pain Killer.
This remedy is not a cheap Benzine
or Petroleum product that must be kept
away from fire or heat to avoid danger
of explosion, nor is 1t an untried expert
ment that may do more harm than good.
Pain Killer has been in constant use
for forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts of the world is, II never
falls. 1t not only effects permanent cure,
but 1t relieves pain almost instantaneously.
Being purely vegetable remedy, it is safe

The Clavton-Bulwer Treaty.

Secretary Blaine's despatch relating to the
abrogation of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty is
vigorous and timely statement of the inter-
ests of this country in the contemplated ca
nal through the isthmus. Its premises are
sound, and to its conclusions the British
government cannot reasonably, in view OF
the position it has assumed toward the Snez
canal, take exceptions. The despatch will
command general assent on this side of the
water, and respectful attention if not entire
approval on the other. The State Depart
ment since Secretary Blaine has been in
charge, has pursued foreign policy which
has in the main won the plaudits of the
American people. But no act of it deserves
higher approval than this latest letter to
Minister Lowell. 1t suggests line of action
that our government, whether administered
by Republicans or Democrats, should iniex-
IDLY carry out.
THE Worcester Spy thus sums UP the re-
suits of Massachusetts voting on the license
question: OF the twenty-one cities of the
commonwealth twenty have voted ON the
question of license, Maiden, one of the two
new cities, not voting. Eight voted against
license Somerville, Newton, Brockton,
Haverhill, Gloucester, Fitchburg, Lynn,
and Newburyport; and twelve for it: Bos-
ton, Worcester, Lowell, Cambridge, Fall
River, Lawrence, New Bedford, Springfield,
Taunson, Holyoke, Chelsea and Salem.
Generally the majorities were small, but
there were some exceptions. In Boston, in
total vote of about thirty-fve thousand,
the majority for license was about ten thou
sand. Three wards only of that city gave
an anti-licence majority. In Newton the
tide of public opinion set far more strongly
in the opposite direction. In that city there
were only 155 votes for license and 1349
against it. Only one voter in ten was will
ing to vote for licensed liquor selling. In
city where public opinionis so nearly united
in their favor, the most stringent prohibito-
ry laws should be enforced with little diff
Guilty. Other cities where the majority was
large on one side or the other were Law
renee, whose majority in favor of lcence
was 1900 in a total vote of 5016; Lynn,
which gave majority of 1046 against Ii
cense in total vote of 1915; Taunton,
whose majority in favor was 625 in total
vote of 1868; Springfield, where the license
majority was S21 in total vote of 1888.
The vote was closest in Cambridge, where
the reported majority for license, according
to the latest recount of the vote, was only 9
in total vote of 5222, and Newburyport,
majority against license "a, in total vote
of ITO. The vote in Lowell d. jffered but
trife from that in Worcester. Its total vote
was 657S. Worcester, 6566; its majority for
license was 24O, Worcester, 356.

History of Spain. By James A. Harrison.
(Boston: d. Lothrop s. Co.; Portland: Hoyt.
Fogg & Donham). An excellent history of
Spain, carefully arranged after the best author
ities, and so compactly and clearly written
that it should at once become popular work.
The brilliant and exquisite art Of the Moors
and the terrible power of their conquerors; the
continual agitations Of Spain, and its wild and
romantic beauty OF landscape, are apt material
for history or fiction Mr.. Harrison deserves
credit for his avoidance Of useless rhetoric
while conveying much of the charm and spirit
OF old Spain.
A Happy Boy By Biornstjerne Bjornson
Translated by Rasmus B. Andersen Boston:
Houghton, Miflin & Co.; Portland: Loring.
Short & Harmony. These translations of
Bjornson's stories deserve for their fidelity
and freshness the preference of the novelist
who has authorized Mr.. Andersen as his trans
lator. The Happy Boy is one OF the most
charming of these stories; its extreme sine
plicity, like that Of healthy child; its curious
idyllic quality, as distinctly northern as ice
fields or pine forests; AMI its entirely foreign
rendering of things common to life everywhere
set this story, with others OF its author, apart
from the rank and file of fiction.
The Portrait OF Lady. By Henry James,
Jr. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co.; Port
land: Loring, Short & Harmony. During its
process of publication in recent numbers of the
Atlantic Magazine, this novel will have been
SO much read and discussed that its appearance
In book form needs little more than a mention.
The impression left upon the readers mind is
of incomplete outline, little general design,

WASHINGTON.

Capital News.

dettinD Ready to be S,cal{o,ced by MahOne
| WASHINGTON, June 9.-It is claimed by the
Readjusters and their Republican friends that
the administration has at last decided 10 heir
Malone in Virginia. While the administration
has not yet taken any definite ground, it is un-
doubtedly more favorable towards the Read
justers than before their convention. The Re
publican press has generally commended the
Readjuster platform, and this has had some
influence. The administration heartily en-
dorses the declarations of the Readjuster plat
form in regard 10 free ballot and fair count,
and upon the public schools, but does
not like the plank reaffirming
belief in the Riddleberger bill. Parties who
urge the President to recognize and help Ma
hone, state that the financial part of the Re
adjuster platform counts for nothing in the
coming fight, and will not attract attention
inside or outside the State; that the voters who
originally favored the Readjuster party did so
on readjustment of the State debt, and there
was no need for the late convention to make a
concession to these voters by putting in the
platform declaration in favor of readust-
ment. It is urged that the fight is really be-
tween the Bourbons and Liberals.
Indications are that the administration will
not act hurriedly as to Virginia. There is
plenty of time, ,as the canvass will not open till
August. Meantime, if the Readusters make
their fight for a free ballot and fair count,
and not on the State debt, it is more than
probable the administration will favor them.
The Democrats generally say they do not
believe the administration will interfere in the
Virginia fight Several Senator's who are still
here think Virginia should be left to settle her
own internal politics, and they say freely, if
the administration helps Malone, the Demo
Gratis in the Senate will hereafter resent it.
