latest issue, entitled "How it was Done,o
gives complete and unprejudiced account
of the political revolution last FALL
The figures are direct from the offices of
the different Secretaries of State, received
under the official seal. In the compilation
the greatest care has been taken, and the
perfect reliability of the statistical and other
information may be unhesitatingly pledged
Presidential, Congressional and State tables
are given of the results in the eleven States
which signaled what has been not inaptly
termed the political revolution of 1882. The
accompanying remarks cover large scope

The comparative tables of the Gubernatorial
elections in 1878 and 1882 ip Pennsylvania.
and in 1879 and 1882 in New York. will
doubtless prove of special interest, as will
also the pages devoted TO the Members of
the Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth Con-
gress, arranged so as to show at a glance the
details of succession in the districts of any
State in the Union. The roll of Members Of
the Forty-eighth Congress was kindly fur
nished by the Clerk of the House, Hon. Ed
ward Mcpherson, who by law prepares it
for the new House. The new Senate will
be found complete, publication having been
delayed in order to await the result of legis-
lative action in the various States.
1t will be noted that in the matter of the
typogr aphical excellence of the book, it in
no wise falls short of past effective results
in this respect, and while the B. &. o. Red
Book is an advertising medium, there is no
political textbook published upon which
more care is manifested in its arrangement

appearance.

AMONG the many measures which the
Gladstone government is anxious to bring
before the House of Commons, but which it
has heretofore been prevented from intro.
ducing by the pressure of Irish agitation, is
a bill for recognizing the local system of
government in London. This bill, which
will probably be brought forward during the
impending session, provides for the suppress
sion of the old city corporation and the divi-
sion of all London into wards. This being
so, it is not surprising to hear that it will be
hotly and powerfully opposed. The city"
is very jealous of its ancient privileges, and
it viii fight desperately to retain them. As
it has unlimited wealth and enormous In
fuence, the chances are rather in favor OF
its success.

New England Graduate Association of Al

the course of his speech, of a letter which
was written by a friend of james Russell
Lowell to an acquaintance in Europe in the
year of Lowell's graduation. He wrote that
James Lowell had fallen in his studies, and
the faculty were rather down on him, but
the boys liked him and had chosen him class

said: ''Oh, dear James promised me that
he would give up writing poetry and go to

their way, Jerome would have been SEN

INDIAN MOSES.

The Yakima correspondent of the
Oregonian says:
You appear to think that Moses has
been badly treated by the Government in
having his reservation cut down. A few
facts connected with this reservation bus
mess at this time may not be amiss. Too
much Importance was attached to that
willy chiefs Importance by the treaty
making powers. He has not to exceed
60 followers, men, women and children.
He has not occupied the land assigned
him since it has been set apart for his ex-
elusive use: Nor is he at this time on
his coveted land. His band is constantly
rowing They spend more than half their
time in Yakima county near Ellensburg
and ON the Columbia river, above Priest
rapids. The Indians on the Okanagan
do not affiliate with him and do not &C
knowledge his authority. They do not
number, men, women and children, over
IS. They are industrious, have several
hundred head of cattle, and live almost
continuously on the land they have always
inhabited. They are peaceable, and in
their intercourse with the whites have no
difficulties. Moses has at various times
importuned them to link their fortunes
with his, but they are not give to rowing
and shun his overtures. The strip taken
| from the Moses reservation is valuable
only for the mineral it contains. 1t would
be, perhaps, good policy to give him a
small money consideration for the land
recently cut off to insure peaceable rela-
tons with the Indians.

Mls CondltAon To-day-A Reason Given
for ehe Assault.
The condition Of Sergeant Mcconnell 10
reported much improved to-day, although
he Is eth unable TO be out. The two men
arrested this morRing on suspicion OF hav-
ing been implicated In assaulting the ofacer,
Elmer North and William Lawler, were
taken before William Lawler as the man
who made the assault, and also identified
Brown and North as companions OF the as
sailant. The whole matter has very mys-
terious look about 1t and will only be
straightened out at the hearing on
Friday night. Ono OF the reasons
given for the assault upon Mcdonnell, on
Monday night Ia that tho Sergeant was out
TN his beat on regular night duty with
out his uniform. II this Is the correct salu.
ton IL seems queer that the Chief should
make such terrible effort TO suppress all
knowledge about the affair. Usually when
one of his officers is beaten while attending
strictly to his duty, the press is always
given all tho points without the slightest
hesitation aAd which give the oflcer oil
tie credit possible. Why this was not done
Ia McConnelPs case is very strange.
The explanation about the uniform may
be correct, for the Sergeant has been heard
TO say that he would not wear the uniform
usually woru by the police, a thing he ha!
followed strictly. He is the only membei
