Life, Stories and Poems of John Brougham.
Edited by William Winter Boston: j. II.
Osgood & Co.; Portland: Loring, Short s.
Harmony Itwould have been genuine loss
to the world if John Brougham's bright life
had been suffered to pass without memorial
His was the ideal nature of the actor, ready,
sympathetic, careless, with quick veins of sor-
row and laughter; with the genius of good
fellowship, the simple heart and inexhaustible
wit that made him delightful and desirable
company. Mr.. William Winter, in his quail
ties of dramatic critic and member Of the Lo-
tus Club was the very man to record and edit
whatever of biographical details Brougham
left behind him. 1t is needless to say that
Mr. Winter has acquitted himself admirably
well OF this congenal task. The first part of
the volume contains an autobiographical frag-
mont; wherein, in Broughams racy and spon-
taneous fashion are given q charming sketch
of his childhood, anecdotes OF his stage life,
sparkling with eminent names, and full Of
keen touches Of human nature, tender or hu-
morous as occasion might lead He was
model club man and that implies no slight
praise. Mr.. Noah Brooks contributes chap
ter upon Brougham as a member of the Lotos
Club, which gives genial and delightful por-
trait of "Uncle John" as President of this lei
surely circle of kindred spirits. Mr.. Winter
supplements Brougham's memoir by most ap-
preciative and interesting reniniscences. Sc
lsctions from among the tales and poems
written by Brougham give examples of the
native Irish wit the sunny temper, the ease
and grace of his style One of the raciest and
most readable of biographies, this worthy trib-
ute to the departed actor is valuable
contribution to literature and to the annals of
the stage.

The New York Situation

The Republican majority of the New
York Legislature can, if it chooses, send
two Republican Senators to Washington in
place of Conkling and Plat; or, by failing
to concentrate on candidates, it can defeat
an election this session, lose the State next
Fall through its quarrels, and give the
United States Senate into the hands
of the Democracy. The control of that
body is in the power of New York
Republicans to hold or to throw away
Their political associates in other parts of
the country expect that they will use their
opportunity for the benefit of the Republi-
can party, not the Democratic, and ask
prompt action. 1t is the duty of the Re-
publican opposition to Mr.. Conkling to
speedily combine on candidates and then
elect them. The friends of the Sena-
tors who have resigned cannot reason
ably resist this clearly-defned viii of the
party majority; bat while so many candi-
dates are in the field and figure on the list
of votes they have good pretext for adher-
ing to their favorites. 1t is the duty of the
majority to deprive them of that pretext;
and unless it is done the responsibility for a
failure to elect Senators this session will
rest upon that majority.

THE Mennonites, of whom Portland
heard something some years ago, and who
settled in Kansas, are compelled to accom-
modate themselves to American ways They
are German in language and customs,
though they came from southern Russia.
They undertook to establish village life in
Kansas similar to that which they had left
in Europe, the farms running off from the
village in long, narrow strips; but this plan
was not found practicable, and the farming
is now done in the ordinary American man
ner. Where the land is owned in quarter
sections, however, four houses are built in
the adjacent corners, enabling the inhabi-
tants to become near neighbors.

MR.. GRINNELL, our consul at Bremen,
tells the State Department at Washington
that appearances indicate that German emf
grafton this year will be extraordinarily
large. There are three steamers leaving
this week, carrying more than 5000, and the
North German Lloyd Steamship Company is
making every preparation for an enormous
business throughout the year. The direct
or-in-chief Of this company is now quite pos
-itive thai he will carry twenty-five per cent.
more emigrants this year than last. and
places the probable figures at 10000 from
the port of Bremen alone.

A LITTLE paragraph from Chicago pa
per republished few days ago in the PRESS
was thought by one of our fellow citizens of
Swedish descent to reflect somewhat un-
kindly on Swedish and German women who
come to our shores. This would mot be
fair, for it is generally recognized that the
Swedish and German girls make most valu-
able servants and that those nationalities
furnish as desirable class of immigrants in
every respect as any. Our experience in
Maine, whittier many Swedes have come, is
certainly very favorable to them, and we
should be glad to welcome many more of
them

THE Saxe-Coburg family to which belong
the ruler Of Belgium, the heirs of the thrones
of England, Germany and Brazil, and the
wife of the Emperor Of Austria's son and
probable successor, is said by the London
Truth to have made its fortune and happi-
ness by matrimonial alliances. In that re-
spect it is like many obscure American
families.

WORCESTER Spy: 1t is common, and TO a
certain extent popular, nowadays, to say
that offices should be administered without
regard to political consideration, but it is
nonsense. A successful President or cabi-
net officer must either have much political
knowledge and experience, or be willing to
be guided in some measure by those who
have it.

The Nation,-always satirical and fre-
quently unjust,-in its review of the latest
week, plucks some feathers from the plume
we Americans have been sporting since the
Derby race was run, and says: The week
was lit up in sporting circles, and in a small
ler degree in all by the winning of the Derby
by an American horse, Iroquois, owned by
Mr.. Lorillard, Of this city. The excitement
would unquestionably have been very
great if Iroquois had been real American
horse, of Kentucky or Vermont stock on
both sides; but reflection brought out the
fact that his father was an English horse,
and that he went to England when a year.
ling. and was trained in an English stable
and ridden by an English jockey. Conse-
quently he was about as much of an Ameri-
can thoroughbred as Heenan was the cham
pion Of the American "heavy-weights,"
and his victory has little of the sweetness
which camefrom that Of the yacht America,
or from the rife matches. Mr.. Lorillard,
the owner, by being an American and stay
ing at home, loses much of whatever gratifi-
cation the Derby brings to the winning
horse. Were he in England he would be for
few months a more honored and envied
man than the Archbishop of Canterbury or
Mr.. Gladstone. This is probably the strans-
est kind of honor the modern world has yet
produced, because the recipient rarely does
anything to earn it beyond spending money
freely in paying trainers to try colts and fiji.

close behind the owners, if they have not
already surpassed them, as popular favor

keep their broughams, and "run down to

HERE are two rich examples of the profit
that comes from waiting: Asa Packers
estate inventoried $6,573,S44, but the rise
in values of the past few months has in
creased it to $7S46,O55, upon which there
has accumulated an income of $471, ,O23. In
1861 Job Terry died at Fall River, leaving
his estate of $69,942 in trust for his heirs
for 20 years, and the trustees, II. H. Fish
and Leander Borden, have given it up, in
creased to $204 1906.

Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony In this
record Of the daily life Of young girl whose
homo is among the lovely scenery of the

pleasing fancies. But the volume contains
precisely the faults to be expected from the un-
fortunate preeocity into which too early au-
thorship has developed Miss Elaine Goodale's
style. Perhaps it is not too late for her to al
ter and strengthen her talent, which requires
for its ripening, precisely opposite methods to
those which appear to have been employed.
