The President and His Policy.


OF the authenticity of the reported inter-
view between President Arthur and Cover
nor Foster of Ohio, there seems to be no
doubt. In the course of the conversation
which lasted some hours, the President ex-
pressed himself with great frankness. He
said he was placed in a very difficult position,
position he had not sought or expected,
and the dreadful crime which placed him
there made his situation most embarrassing.
He could not, of course, escape from the
responsibility, but he said he wanted the
support of all good Republicans; that he
wanted no divisions, but, on the contrary,
he wanted all good men to uphold him and
strengthen his hands in trying to adminis-
ter his great trust impartially. He said he
wanted to be advised and to avoid through
timely information the making OF mistakes.
He hoped that if. there were any factions in
the party that all sides would confer with
him; that so far as he was concerned he
had no enemies to punish. and he did not
intend to be used to punish the enemies OF
other persons.
Cherishing these sentiments ana actlng
upon them, President Arthur will hold the
support OF the country as long as the Repub-
lican party commands the support OF the
people. For ithe views he has expressed
areSthose of the majority Of Republicans.
We are tired of the factional fights which
have repeatedly brought us SO near TO
deadly peril and so seriously impaired the
power and usefulness of the political organi-
cation whose maintenance we believe to be
essential to the welfare of the nation. No
matter now who is responsible for the quar-
REL or by whom the first overt act was COM
mitted. Let all those things be forgotten,
or at least ignored. Let us close up the
ranks and present solid front to the enemy
who is as alert as ever, but whose only
reasonable opportunity for success is to be
found in our dissensions. Discussions of
the past are proftless. We must turn our
thoughts to the future.

CERTAIN French physicians who have gone
over to Tunis to look after the sick soldiers,
have been appalled, at what they saw and
heard. They learned that of the 1000 SOL
diers who had died there since the campaign
begun, not 300 had fallen in the field. Dis
ease and exhaustion had carried off the rest.
Regiments which had marched out full of
enthusiasm had seen the bread run short,
had seen their means of transport fail, and
after long fights in the desert had received
no rations but hard biscuits. Whenever a
halt was ordered the ambulance tent was
Instantly filled. At Kef the officers had
opened subscription to get medicines and
beds for the wounded. No quinine was to
be found. Doctors had ridden to Tunis to
purchase drugs with their own money.
Herbs had to be gathered in the field.

THE secret of NJ. Gambetta's recent mys-
terious disappearance has been revealed. 1t
seems that he did go to Germany, as was
reported, but those who intimated that
there was lady in the case shot wide of
the mark. So did the ingenious persons
who suggested that he had gone to Berlin to
talk politics with Bismarck. M. Gambetta's
real errand was in neither of these very diff
ferent directions. The business which SO
suddenly and mysteriously took him away
from the busy streets of the French capital
was Of a commercial character. He was
anxious to find out by personal investiga-
tion in what way Hamburg, Lubbock, Bre-
men and the other Hanseatic towns had
grown so great and prosperous. No one
would have thought of that in connection
with his disappearance, but certainly he
ought to know best.

A RECENT traveller through the South,
the Rev. A. D. Mayo, says that wherever he
went he found great readiness to talk up
on the schools of the South, and the urgent
need of a much better system of popular
education. From his observations he has
reached the conclusion that the solid pros
perity of the South is not possible, and that
it will not become homogeneous with the
North until it has system of common
schools like those which are great factor
in all that is good in the social and intellec-
tnal condition of the Northern States.

The Two Cabin Boys By Louis iRousselet
Boston: Roberts Brothers; Portland: Loring,
Short & Harmony This is thrilling aud en-
crossing STORY of the adventures of two boys
who met upon the deck Of a rebel privateer,
sailed over the ocean pursued by Federal gum
boats, survived the explosion of the ship and,
of course, found their desert island and met a
kindly savage whom they named Mr.. Friday.
1t is story to fully satisfy the wishes Of the
boys whose eyes are ever looking seaward, and
who enjoy exciting tales of adventure. The
tone of the book is excellent; and M. Rousse-
let's style is very attractive. Forty-six spirited
illustrations by French artists depict some Of
the telling situations OF the story.

That Beautiful Wretch. By William Black
(New York: Harpers; Portland Loring, Short
& Harmony The title of this latest novel of
Mr.. Black, is against it. Perhaps the English
public has not acquired black-and-blue spot
upon the mind which winces when touched by
the expletive that introducing the name of
new story. But experienced noyel-readers
who, of course, picture Beautiful Wretch as
one of the baleful blondes who obtain in mod
ern fiction, those ftlntasids in black and gold Of
heart and hfir that have superseded the MUIR
derous brunette of past decade-these per-
sons will find that Mr.. Blacks heroine had her
sinister title givepsher by an old gentleman
who delighted in her funny sayings as a little
child, and called her wretch in the irony of
affection. Nevertheless, Mr.. Black might
have found more fortunate and appropriate
name for his story. As to the novel itself, it
is one of his brightest, gayest and most pleas
ing; without the superb sea-painting, the lyric
tragedy or the Gaelic poetry of some of his larg
er work, it is vivacious, natural and thorough
ly agreeable Nan is one of Mr.. Blacks pi-
quaint heroines, and among the prettiest of her
type.

While so large Morse immigration is continu-
ally adding to the useful population of our
Countrywide home life of these people cannot
fail to have much interest for American read
ers. In the novels of Biornsen are to be found
fresh and idyllic pictures of the simple and
staid villages of the North, and the frugal and
hardworkipg villagers. They must be read to
be appreciated; the plots are of the least intri-
cate, and the story moves with unconscious
poetic grace.

The Foreigner in China. BY L. N. Wheeler,
D. d. Chicago: s. c. Griggs & Co.; Port
land: Loring, Short & Harmony This very
fair-minded and interesting volume contains
the record of impressions received by DIR.
Wheeler in the course of eight years of mis-
sionary work in China. Although not an ad
mirer of the peculiarities of the Chinese, he
recognizes in them many useful and worthy
traits and brings forward his experiences as
additional arguments in favor of allowing the
Chinese to emgrate to this country. He be-
lieves that legislation will be able to regulate
and render profitable this influx of new citi-
zens; and very properly says that treaties, un-
til lawfully modified, are to be held inviolable.
He points out the actual gain and little ex-
pense to the country from Chinese labor; and
the moderate and intelligent manner of his ar
guments prove how carefully he has observed
and considered the Chinese and their capabili-
ties for citizenship in the United States.
