Ii is interesting to note that just as we
are principally concerned in polltices with
the regulation of our finances and the pay
ment of our debt several of the nations of
Europe are availing themselves of present
peace and prosperity to lIquidate the indebt-
edness which they incurred in times of war
and mismanagement Spain and Italy both
expect to show surplus at the end of the
year, and the Austrian Minister of Finance
has submitted favorable report to the
Reichsrath. In 1881 the expenses of Aus
tria exceeded her income by 1921, 900, 900;
this year the income is about Sc, 600. 900
larger, and the Government expects not
only to equalize its receipts and expendi-
lures, tut to lay aside something to meet
the deficiency for. next year That defic.
iency is now estimated at $l4,0OO, 900, or
about half what it was last year. Austrian
finances proper are in much better condi-
ton than those of the Austro Hungarian
Empire, which are wholly distinct The
consolidated debt has risen from about
$4,000, 000i in 1870 to 81, 49,. 222 O0S in 1881.
AS Austria is bound by the terms of her
union with Hungary to assume 70 per cent
OF this debt, she is not likely to be troubled
very soon with too much money.

Moon-Shining.

A distinguished member of one of the
scientific societies of England recently dis
covered by the aid of glass of uncommon
power that the moon is, after all, capable of
supporting life, and that it has an asmos-
phere about the same as that of England -
In other words composed of a happy com
bination of fog and smoke through which
the sun finds its way with much the same
gratifying result that attends the first efforts
of the negro (by adoption) minstrel to wash
up after the concert is over.
We regret that there yet remains some
doubt as to the exact nature of the glass
used by the distinguished man of SCIENCE
composed, as is rather more probable, of
the materials that enter into the manufac-
ture of the standard punch glass; but the
discovery is of some Importance, and we are
not surprised to hear that it created a great
deal of excitement in England. We may
confidently expect that at no distant day the
fact will be announced that England has
concluded to protect the inhabitants of
the new territory.
At the first view of the case. it seems a
little hard to discover npon what ground the
esteemed government OF Her Majesty could
interfere with the affairs of the PEG. lie of the
moon. To be sure, ireland was possessed
by reason of a bull from the Pope, and some
centuries back His Holiness was very con-
venient to have around when a nation want
ed to take possession of a cnuntry that the
Pope didn't happen to own, and therefore
was perfec ~ willing to give a quitclaim Of
There is also a tradition that Pope once
issued a bull against comet. But the Pope
is out of that line of business now, and the
Queen of England isn't the defender of
the Catholic faith to any considerable ex-
tent. Yet we have faith 10 believe that the
statespen of England will not fail TO dscov-
er chance for complaint, now that the
land has been discovered: and if the neces-
ton is not apparent, then some patriotic in
dividnal may be moved to write to the
Times, calling attention to the fact that
On the evening of the last Lord MAYORS
Day, the Man in the Moon was observed
byseveral gentlemen, including one Ri. Hon.
who happened to go home quite late, actu-
ally making up faces, evidently with the in
tent to express his contempt for His Wor-
ship and the CORPORATION of London. We
confidently look for an immediate attempt
in the part of England to acquire some
m shine territory.

CHAPTER of the Egyptian war ended
with the overthrow of the insurgents and the
capture Of Arab Pasha. Chapter 2 closes
with the arch rebels plea of guilty to

Punishment by the Khedive against whom

Sunday. Chapter 3, yet to be written, will
see the strengthening in some way of the
bands by which Great Britain holds Egypt,
Tor nobody supposes that the settlement of
accounts with Arab is in full of all English
demands upon the country which be turned
upside down. Meanwhile, cordial inv a.
ton ought TO be extended 10 Mr. Arab to
come to the United States to live. If he be-
hayes well he can run for Office somewhere
next year on the Democratic ticket.

ALTHOUGH Governor-elect Cleveland can
claim the largest majority ever given in New
York, it is not relatively as great as that Of
Governor Joseph G. Yates in 1922. Out of
III ,4OS votes cast he received 12S, 493 10 2910
for Solomon Soutbwick. In this case the
majority was over forty three times as great
as the mino ity candidate received votes,
Which is vastly greater proportion than
Cleveland can show. But majorities don't
tell the whole story always, as it was long a
gibe against Governor Yates that she went
into office almost unanimously, and went
out entirely So"

THAT the Gar should have assumed the
title Lord of Turkestan is an occurrence
which is not without significance. 1t may
be regarded as reply to the action of Queen
Victoria in proclaiming herself Empress of
India and as a sort Of official recognition of
the degree to which in late years the Rus
sian Empire has been extended in south
eastern Asia. Ten years ago or whereabouts
Turkestan was under the rule of native
princes, and now it has the Gar for suz-
Grain. That is a kind of progress which
thoughtful Englishmen will not relish.

there has been as much improvement among

Hsrper's Christmas Pictures and Papers.
Done by the Tile Club and its Literary
Friends (New York: Harper & Brothers.)
This is brilliant Christmas publication,
pamphlet of mammoth size containing a num-
Der of fine illustrations by the members of that
delightfully."- artistic and genial brotherhood,
the Tile Club, together with great variety Of
stories, sketches and poems by some of the lit
erary friends of the Tilers. Mr.. Edmund q.
Stedman contributes a Christmas ballad con-
cerDing Peter Stuyvesant and his nine wor-
thes, who patrol New Amsterdam every
Christmas Eve to see that all goes well with
their town. The poem has admirable cadences
and the true ring Of legendary ballad, with
no affectation Of quaintness; and thu legend,
which is probably of Mr.. Stedman's own in
vention, is exceeding ben trouato. Mr. Curtis
writes an Introduction in his exquistely
graceful, courteous and classic fashion, Mr..
Howels gives one of his delciously silly Parlor
Car sketches. The hiographer of Uncle Re-
mus, Mr.. Joel c. Harris, Mr.. Thomas Hardy,
Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke and others contribute
stories. The Voice of the Sea, by Mr.. Aldich
is set TO music, and illustrated with fine
sketch by Mr.. Alfred Parsons. Mrs. Marga-
ret Eytinge has pretty Christmas poem. A

Poems of Life and Nature. By Mary Glenn
mer Boston: ]. Osgood g. Co.; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony Mrs. Clemmer has
some share of the poet gift. not especially dis
tinct in quality or spontaneous in expression,
but always earnest, and often graceful and eff
fective. She is apt to sing in the minor keys,
which is matter of temperament, choice, or
both together. Her handling of metres and
rhymes is sometimes careless and incorrect.
But the faults one instinctively finds with her
verse are a lack of atmosphere and of motion;
and too elaborate literary effects. Her poems
are. however, thoughtful and often strong, and
will appeal to the liking of many readers,
and some passages of genuine poetic beauty
could easily be selected from among them.
