AN AMERICAN POLITICIAN.


Mr.. F. Marion Crawford comes to us with

novel will be ap TO conclude it with the
sort of feeling which Mr.. Weller had toward
matrimony and the little boy toward the al

one devoted to the good of mankind, and 10
the love OF truth aud honor, yet he makes
bin first the blind tool of, and then mem

when, added TO this defect, it is found that

allows the reader to leave off any

The Nicaragua Treaty.

II tbs synopsis of the Nicaragua treaty
published BY the New York Times be accu-
rate the United States has obtained a far
more important concession from Nicaragua
than anybody outside of the administration
which negotiated the treaty had suspected.
Something more than right of way across
The isthmus Is granted. A strip OF territory
three miles wide g actually added 10 the
United States, so that 1t becomes portion
OF our possessions. But a serious obstacle
to the acceptance of this concession looms
up In the shape of the Clayton Bulwer trea-
ty, by the terms Of which the United States
aud Great Britain declare that neither one
nor the other will ever obtain or maintain
for itself any exclusive control over an 18th
mus canal, agreeing that neither will ever
erect or maintain any Notifications com
Aandlng the same or 10 the vicinity thereof,
or occupy, or fortify, or colonies, or assume,
or exercise any dominion over any part of
Central America.
This treaty is in full force to-day.
While Mr.. Blaine was Secretary of State
~~ft~sPSAo"hSO was Win LUG brlL-
ish government looking to the abroga-
ton of SO much Of it as related TO this
canal, and remained uncompleted when Mr..
Blaine retired. Secretary FreliDghuysen re-
newed the correspondence, bat no conclu-
sion satisfactory TO the United States has re.

that the treaty 10 still in force, and has
shown not the slightest disposition 10 abro-
gate IT. When the Nicaragua treaty gets
before the Senate the Clayton Bulwer treaty
is going TO prove very embarrassing feature
In the discussion. To accept Ncaragua's
concession is virtually TO violate solemn
treaty obligation. Yet the concession is SO
valuable that it offers strong temptation to
take the rirk which its acceptance involves.

fade or wither now he 10 dead. The sketch
of his life and works In The Andoyer Is
highly appreciative, and yet 10 not pitched in
too bigh tone. The state of Mexico is Wv
idly described from moral and religious
point OF view, and that the picture is not
overdrawn is attested by unbiased and even
friendly Roman Catholic authorities. The
darkest lines of the picture are properly at
tributed to the illiteracy which characterizes
the masses of the Mexican people. On the
other hand, George r. Stptson shows that
the increasing lteracy of Massachusetts peo-
pie Is accompanied, though of course not
caused by an increase of crime, which dou-
b'es twice as fast as The population. Nor is
this attributable to foreign immigration, fer
the statistics given relate wholly to the old
stock and largely to the rural districts. The
heavy and really able articles of this number
are on "Man Considered as a Creative First
Cause" and conscience Considered as an
Evolution" The first of these discussions
is, perhaps, too fine for popular apprehen-
sion; but the second is clearly outlined,
carefully Disseminated, and well reasoned
throughout.

SHORT TARIFF HISTORY OF THE UNITED
STATES

STATES.
The first part of this work embraces the
most important period in our tariff history,
because it was then that the United States
for the first and only time made practical
trial of free trade-a free trade with foreign
nations SO nearly absolute as to make the
existing custom house policy of England
seem by contrast the very soul of restriction.
The disastrous outcome of the experiment is
set up as solemn warning to the present
and to the future. Copious proofs are also
offered to show that the Federal Convention
in framing the Constitution granted to Con-
gress both the revenue power and he pro-
tecting power, and that the purpose of reve-
nue was alien to the latter power, as then
understood, practised and conferred. In
deed. "a tariff for revenue only" would be
defeat OF the meaning and intent of that
power.
