their minds of the idea that whatever the

Delieve that the Cincinnati Enquirer would

is successful next year, it will owe none of
its success to this pair of macontents,
whose heads are sweled out of all proper
ton to the blind constituencies that follow
them. If there were ever any doubts as to
the true position of the great majority of the
Democratic party on the tariff question, the
clear enunciation of the Democratic plat

IA Woman of HONOR BY H. C. Bunner. Bos-
ton: James K. 0sgood Co. (Loring, Short & Har-
mon.)
Another novel calls for notice at this time: ga
Woman of HONOR by H. G. Bunner, who has be-
come very well known through hisswrtinqs for sThe
century and Puck" The author treats of phases
and developments in American society, and shows
much penetration and insight. But his characters
though skilfuly drawn and conceived, exhibit SO
broadly the weaknesses of human nature. that we
are led to hope that there are few people like Mr.
and Mrs. Swift for instance, and to feel that at
times we are IN rather bad company. The heroine,
however, is sweet, pure minded charming girl,
and the moral of the story may be to avoid the
faults of the Others The hero is an artist and his
model and factotum Cadougan MegiIp is very anus
ing and well done. The book is ON the whole,
much above the average society novel; and gives
promise for the future success of the author
in the field Of romance.

Quick ocean Passage.

1t really seems as If the time NAV not be
Tar distant when the Atlantic will be crossed
bcl~een New York and Queen ,town in five
days Two steamers, the Alaska and the
City OF Rome, have repeatedly accomplished
the voyage in less than seven days. The
Aurania on her first trip, which ended so un-
fortunately, showed speed which indicated
that she would be match for either of the
Two which are now rated the fastest. The
Improvements in model, in machinery and
especially in the power of the engines have
already greatly shortened the discomforts of
the ocean voyage and no one supposes that
the limit is yet reached.
Next year two new vessels will take their
places, one on the Guion line and one on
the National line, of which great things in
the way of speed are anticipated. The new
Guion steamer, the Oregon, has already
made two trial trips--not across the ocean
and on each occasion she accomplished a
speed of over twenty knots an hour by the
log, that is something more than % miles an
hour which is three miles an hour faster
than the Alaska or the City of Rome has ac-
complished. Proba the water was smooth
or than 1t would be for part of the Allan
tic voyage, but on the other hand the ma
chinery was new and with use will work
easier. 1t she could cross the ocean maiu-
tanning the rate achieved on her trial trip
she would make the voyage in considerably
less time than six days.
The new steamer which the National line
will have in service next summer is to be
named the America. She is now building
in the same yard where the flyers previously
mentioned were built and her builder guar
antees speed of Is knots an hour, and it is
quite likely that she will be able to make
800 miles day aud cross the sea from port
IT, part IN less than six days. Her model
was recently exhibited at Liverpool aud was
awarded gold medal for excellence of de-
sgn for passenger service. Both the Oregon
and the America are built especially for this
business and their freight carrying qualities
are sacrificed to this end. The tendency
is 70 separate the TWO kinds of business aid
to make be passenger steamers not only
swifter but vastly more comfortable than
they have been hitherto. II is said thai the
America, as indicated by her model, will be
as much superior to the steamers now plying
the Atlantic as Pullman Cal is to com
mon passenger car. OF course the owners
of these steamers expect the travelling pub
lie vii be willing to pay such rates for supe-
rior accommodations as will make the
steamers profitable, aud doubtless their ex-
prctations are well founded. The majority
of those whe travel across the sea will will,
ingly pay whatever may be necessary to se-
cure quick transit and the greatest possible
degree of comfort. Mr.. Pierce the builder
of these fast steamers avows his purpose to
build ship within few years which will
cross the Atlantic within five day.

Senator Edmund's spoke few brief words
in the Episcopal Convention at Philadelphia
Wednesday which may have significance
that thousands will regret. When the time
came for choosing president of the House
of Deputies, Mr.. Edmunds was nominated
by delegate from Rhode Island, whereup-
Oh he arose and said he was mot candi-
date for President, for this or any other
place, at this or any o-her time.n Those
who know Senator Edmunds will appreci-
ate what he meant by this prompt and com
preh' nsive declaration. They know that
undoubtedly he referred to the current talk
about making him candidate for President
of the United States, a project that he has
always discountenanced. No doubt he sim
cerely prefers the congenial duties of United
States Senator to the uncongenial duties of
the chief magistracy; but the Republican
party and the people may make demand
upon him which he would not be at liberty
to disregard.

"A Woman's Reason" BY W. D. Howells. Bos-
ton: James Il. Osgood g. Co. (Loring, Short & Har-
mon.)
Recognizing Mr.Howells' genius as we do, and ad :
hitting the delicacy and charm of his style, lis sub
tie and keen study of character, and the brilliant
and picturesque effects which be produces. we can
only criticize his last romance by comparing it with
his previous efforts in that line. That "a Woman's
Reason" is not so pleasing novel as it's exceeding
y satisfactory predecessor, ga Modern inst ,nce
will be admitted by almost every one who has read
the two books, Tn his latest work Mr. HQwells has
done the best that he could do with such a pl9t.
and such characters as he has chosen; but he has
not chosen either wisely or WELL Admitting all the
cieverness and graces of the story and it could
not be MI Howells and not possess these qualities
1t IS neither pleasant nor a fascinating one.
The incidents are not original nor are they inter-
estipg, and many of them painful in the ex-.
treme The situations are not sufficiently powerful
or dramatic to make us forget their unpleas ant
ness and we are constantly wishing that the au-
thor would use his marvellous skill in creati np
people whom we shall be glad to know and find it
impossible to forget Still everybody will read the
book, and fnd much in it to enjoy There is no
sign of lessening of Mr. Howells' power. and we
have every reason to believe that we shall have
fresh and delightful work from his pen, which we
shall eagerly look for In the future

The coat of arms adopted by Dakota which
wants TO become state is whole panorama
In itself The outline is a shield, draped
with the American flag depending from the
beak of the national bird. The background
shows range of hills and the chimney of
smelling furnace; in the center is river
bearing a steamboat, and train of cars
specifies the bluff; then comes a field of
wheat and corn; and then white man at
his plow on one hand, and on the other an
Indian with tents about him and bleak
aspect as to countenance. The artist has
succeeded in utilizing most of the salient
local points of attraction, and at the same
time throwing in little quiet poetry. This
is not all, however. The white man at his
pillow and the Indian among his tents are
both looking upward, as if wondering when
1t is going to rain; but in fact they are gag
ing at rift in the clouds, where appears
the pertinent and expressive legend, ssFear
God, and take your own part"
