BOOK NOTICES.


CUT, by Washington GLADDEN.. The Century
Company, New YOtk.
Those who read Mr.. Gladden's clever papers
on this subject in the CENTURY will be glad
TO learn that they have been collected in
book FORM The volume is complete little
affair of less than 200 pages, beautifully
printed and neatly bound, The story that it
tells is an interesting one to others than
church members, for the style is sparkling
and the dialogue is marked with that clash OF
polished wits that not infrequently lends life
to the deliberations OF ecclesiastical gather
ings. Indeed, We can fancy the ungodly
who are first repealed by the title as tempted
by some accident to read the first page and
then led on until the book is finished at a
single sitting, feat by no means difficult OF
accomplishment. One easily forgives a
slight fippency Of style here and there when
one recognizes how faithfully in the main
the author has portrayed the familiar every
day intercourse of clergymen and church dig
nitaries. In much humber and smaller way
Mr., GLADDEN. in this unique work has done
somewhat the same for the body of New
England clergymen of all denominations
that Trollope has in 30 mastery manner
for the clergymen OF Old England's estab-
liShed church. The book ought to have a
broadening influence and great suggestiyene
for church members and il deserves
very wide sale, as happily drawn
picture of an ideal movement hay.

Of social influences. Perhaps the picture is
rose colored, and the group of clergymen and
laymen with whom it deals was undoubtedly
a very rare assemblage, for city of New
Abion's size, or indeed for one much larger but
Mr.. Gladden's seeds may spring up and bear
important fruit, if 80 they fall upon even
moderately good ground The book is issued
in two styles, full cloth at rs cents, and in
paper at so cents.

The Federal Administration and
the South.

INC souths
1t ia interesting to know that ex-Gov.
ernor Daniel Il. Chamberlain of south
Carolina at last came to recognize the
fatal defect of Southern Republicsnism,
and his Recently pnblished letters to Gar.
field on this subject are very instructive.
Chamberlain coniesses that the Southern
men whom the Federal government re-
wsrded with place and power, were,
as rule, unmitigated scoun-
drels, and that the problem
presented to the Federal administration
il it would do aught to upbuild a South
ern Republican party ia to reconcile a
tree ballot with clean local government.
Mr.. Chamberlain incidentally condemned
the ides Of utilization with Malone, and
Garfield in reply seemed to assent to much
that Chamber ain said. Chamberlain him
self, however, struck hands with the rascsls
in South Carolina when there was some
hope that he could aid in giving that
State decent government, and he must
have known that such advice as he vol.
unearily gave Garfield came with bad
grace from man that had failed to dc
the very thing he urged upon the Presi
dsnt-elect.
There is not the least doubt, however
that Chamberlain was right in his belle
that clean carpet bag administration. i
the phrase is not too grotesque to pu
into print, would have been much les
obnoxious to the South than the mon
strous trsvesty of government that fol
years made almost every Southern Stat,

administration is too near its end, ant

Considerable importations of matches,
