THE NonTH AMERICAN REVIEW
for September has for lis leading art
icle q very forciblc presentmcnt, by
Dorman D. Eaton, OF the evils pro-
duced by the practice of levying "Po-
litical Assessments" The paper is
noteworthy for lis striking. array OF
facts, but more SO because 1t will be
universally regarded as the ultima.
tum of large aud influential section
OF the Republican Party. addressed to
tho party leaders. "Oalhs in Legal
Proceedings," by Judge Edward A.
Thompson, is a discussion Of the
question whether the interests OF
morality and OF public justice alike,
would not be promoted by the abro-
CATION OF all laws requiring testimo.
ny to be given under the sanction of
an oath. Thompson B. Msury, late
of the Signal Office, contributes an
srticle ON "Tornadoes and their
Causes, "which,in addition TO its scien-
tific interest, possesses tho merit Of
suggesting many practical measures
for averiing disaster TO life and prop
erty from wind storms. "Architec-
ture.in America" by Clarence Cook,
is marked bya freedom ofutterance
that is refreshing. In this respect 1t
deserves to rank with Commander
Gorringc's celebrated paper on the
United States Navy. Augustus G..
Cobb writes of "Earth Burial and
Cremation" and J. Z. Manning, in an
article eniitled "The Geneva Award
