The Lady or the Tiger and Other Stories.
BY FRANK STOCKTON. One volume. limo.
81. New York: CHARLES SCRIBNER's
Sons. 1884.
Nomagazine story for very long time has
given rise to such animated discussion as
Mr.. STocKToY's enigmatical situation,
"The Lady or the Tiger?" And what fate
the Princess chose for her lover is ques-
ton that will probably never be satisfac-
torily solved. The other stories which
make up this collection are equally remark
able for the novelty and surprise OF the
plot, and for the sly humor Mr.. STOCKTON
has the faculty of imparting to everything
that comes from his pen.

Round the World. By ANDREW CARNEGIE.
volume. Small 4t0. $3.50. New
York: CHARLES SCRIBYER's Sons. 1884.
Mr.. CARNEGIE's Iour-in- Hand in Bri-
tain was one OF the brightest and most
popular books of the season. His new
volume, as it has a wider scope, has also q
more comprehensive interest and value.
Buoyant, keen, joyous, and practical, the
author sets down without reserve or af-
fectation just the impressions that made
themselves most vividly felt at the moment,
and the rapid now Of the narrative fairly
enchains the readers attention.
Sailing from San Francisco TO Japan on
his course round the world, the larger
part OF Mr.. CARNEGIE's book is taken up
with the description Of Eastern lands, and
it forms real addition to the literature Of
travel.

,veaIt, is alIening herself very nicely on
noliticaI questions with her youngest
daughter. The position taken by the Vir-

1inus,v announced by West Virginia. Tne

coIehyated for clear, practical statesman

10 sentiment OF the Convention was over
wbelming for Tilden, and The delegates
know what their constituents expect Oh
them.
We are glad to see the Democrats OF the
mother Commonwealth take sound stand
on the tariff question. Her resolution on
the tariff is almost uerbatim with the Up
sbur.coupty resolution which formed the
basis OF West Virginia's platform adopted
at Charleston, declaring for revenue Tor the

tariff and all other great issues to the one
great work OF reforming the admristra'
ton of the General Government. the
DISPATCH very tersely states the position
of the Virginia Democrats: "There was
no sympathy among its members with the
policy OF raising the tariff to the dignity
Of an issue so great as TO be worthy OF The
first place in the presidential election. We
are all revenue reformers, and we are all
anti-tariff agitators."
With the Democracy Of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Connecti-
cut. OHIO, Virginia, and West virginia
standing together on common platform
and with common purpose in view, 1t
looks as though there will be no room for

yention.- Wheeling Register.

RICHMOND, May 10, 1884.
TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
Az had "a mankind Is there Is In almost
every hreast = respect for Justice when sell
is not involved. Men OF tue lowest
morals-even professional do2,hgnters-
contend for 4" fair play" was ior Iliaen
in 1880. The quotation IN your issue Anew

Is conclusive as to MIR. Iiidenrs cialm Ior
Justice at the hands OF the Democracy
But there are two points showing the pro.
priety for Mr.. Tilden's denomination that
would briefly mention, one OF which mas
never been referred to. so TAR as know.
First. His remarkably wise and conserya..
tive conduct during and after the action OF
the Commission" I looked for months
in vain for one word from Mr. Tilden's
lips OF comment or complaint. "Inter-
yiewersv could not extort word unbecom-
ing the most dignified reserve. Alter the
great crime against the nation was commit
ted by which he was cheated out OF an office
more valuable and highly priced than all
OF Vanderbilt's wealth, yet he was silent.
Such conduct is impossible except In
great man and great patriot. Mr.. Tilden
had put himself, as was right, In the hands
of his friends, the men who had elected
him. and he must cheeItully abide the re-
suit. No philosopher OF Greek or Rome
nav, no Christian OF any age-could have
shown more dignity OF character or
patient resignation under great wrong.
/ feel, as does any true American,
personally disgraced by such an Outrage,
and it must and 1t shall be righted. The
great heart OF the Democratic party is
stirred with sense OF the injustice done
Mr.. Tilden, and are falling into line almost
spontaneously. This Is in obedience 10 the
great cardinal law of our nature to which |
have referred, and which is ia my second
proposition-to wit. that all men haze in
their hearts sense that; the wrong should
be rlghted: that an honest debt should be
paid il the debtor has the money; that the
only way to receive pardon Is to repent, not
in word only, but ir deed. The Demo-
cratic party must make atonement TO its
great, wise, and venerable leader, and to
the country, by prompt, cheerful, and
unanimous denomination. "Let justice be
done though the heavens fall"
