The Cooperative Commonwealth is an ex-
position of Modern Socialism. The author
of this work aims to present the leading ten
cts of modern socialism in brief form, ten
cts which hitherto could be found only by
searching many volumes. He is sanguine
enough to believe that these principles will
prevail in twenty-five years, and serve to re-
construct society. Without sharing the au-
thol's belief, we doubt not that society is
progressive, and will be more democratic in
the future than now. The wave of democ-
racy is irresistible, even in England, and in
time will reach every shore. We are in the
van, and shall be for centuries to come.
Scientists believe that society will gradually
be reconstructed on q scientific basis, insur-
ing the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. Socialists ike the author, and service
socialists like Henry George, will by their
half truths contribute something towards
the final triumph of equal rights.

This is the fourth volume Of the American
Commonwealth Series, inaugurated by those
enterprising publishers, Hoaghton, Mffiin
& Co. 1t is not history of the State
of Kentucky, but, as the author says
in his preface, sit is the main aim of
this little book 10 set forth the history of
the motives that have led the people in tie
shaping of their Commonwealth, using only
so much of the incidents of their life as
seemed necessary to make their motive
clear" The earliest settlers of Kentucky
were from Virginia, the mother of States,
and Kentucky was the eldest daughter.
The emigration from Virginia began in
1774, embracing the most daring of her cti-
zens, who carried with them Virginia ideas
as the basis of the new State. The present
State of Kentucky contains forty thousand
square miles, mostly Of table land with a
varied and, in some parts, very rich soil, and
a mountainous region of about three thous-
and miles in exteut. 1t has taken high rank
as an agricultural State. in 1910 it was first
in the production of wheat; in 1850 it was
first in maize, fax and hemp; in 1860 in
hemp; in 1870 in hemp and tobacco.
The author of this book, Mr.. Shaler, with
fine dissemination of motives, traces the rela-
tions of Kentucky to the Federal Govern
ment, though the war of 1872, the Mexican
war, the war of the Rebellion, and the sirug-
gle for civil government after the close of the
war. During the civil war, while the State
remained within the Union and furnished
It's full quota of soldiers for the Union army,
large numbers of the abest and best men
went into the Confederate army. The his
tory of the condition of affairs during this
period win be found very interesting to
those of us who lived in wholly loyal States,
and were removed from the battlefelds of
the war. The book is admirably written,
and will well pay for perusal; and its clear
type and fine paper make it pleasant to read.

THE UNcIvILIzED RACES OF MEN IN ALL
THE WORLD.

THE UNcIvILIzED RACES OF MEN IN ALL
THE WORLD.
Rev. DR.. Wood ranks among the most
popular and foremost writers on natural
history OF Great Britain. ConceiVing the
idea of this Work maby years since he com.
menced the collection of such articles, uten-
sis, weapons, portraits, ETC., as would il
lustrate the life and customs OF the unciyi-
liked races, and became undoubtedly the
best qualified of all living writers for such
an undertaking. The English work is SO
costly by reason of its hundreds of superior
engravings that few will or can avail them
selves of the imported edition. Yet it is so
replete With healthfui Information, so fasci-
nating by its variety of incident, portraiture
and manners, so worthy a place in every
household library that the American pub
fishers have done well in reprinting it so that
it becomes accessible to the multitude OF
readers in this country. With the exception
of few paragraphs not deemed essential bv
the American editor, and not making in the
aggregate over four pages, the text of the
two royal octave volumes OF nearly sixteen
hundred pages is given unabridged. The
beauty and value of the work are greatly en-
HANGED by grouping the engravings and unit
ing them by cross references with the letter
press they illustrate. Ia another and i'm
portant respect this is superior TO The Eng
ilsh edition. Dr. Wood has given too brief
and IMPERFECT an account of the North
American Indians and the savage tribes Of
the Arctic regions. This deficiency has been
supplied by the American editor making the
account of the Red Men mole comprehensive
and adding some fine engravngs to illustrate
their appearance and social life. DIR. Wood
also omits the interesting races of Siberia,
passing at once from America to Southern
Asia. To the American edition is added an
account of the Maleuesetes, Ingeletes and
Co-Yukons Of Alaska. An interesting chap
ter respecting the Tungue-J akets, Ostiaks
and Samoiedes Of Siberia, compiled from DR..
Hertwig's Polar World, is also given. The
index of the English edition is very imper-
feet, occupying only page. The Amefi-
can edition has one ten times as large, fur
nishing Invaluable help to the reader and
student

The Hon. ]. p Bass of Bangor has taken
occasion to publicly express the opinion that
the Hon. Edmund Wilson of Thomaslon is
not only smossback", but that the moss
on his back has been there so long that it is
monldy. There will be some curiosity now
to learn the Hon. Edmund Wilson'S opinion
of the Hon. J. P. Bass. 1t is certainly
matter of deep regret that right on the
threshold of a Democratic administration
which is expected to be fruitful in peace and
goodwill these two eminent Democratic
statesmen should begin shying bricks at one
another.

The last dynamite outrage in London was
in some respects a little more disastrous
than those which have preceded. Nobody
was killed. though number of people were
knocked over. The English press has ds-
covered before this time, we suppose, that
the authors of the explosion are Americans
and that the United States Government, snd
not the London police, are really to blame
for their being at large. AS matter If
fact the dynamiters who have caused the
recent explosions in the British metropolis
are much moro likely to have come from
France or Germany than from America.

the franklin patriot newspaper, was not die
tated by the highest patriotism are nothing
but Republican lies also. These Democrat
ic statesmen have undoubtedly adopted the
best way to dispose of the charges against
them. 1t is much easier to denounce them
than to 1isprove them and quite as satisfac-
tory to the rank and file of the Democracy.
President-elect Cleveland still continues to
be uncommunicative on the tariff. He has
denied, to be sure, that he was ever presi-
dent of free-trade club, but he refrains
from saying what his views on the tariff
really are. During the campaign there was
a very hot discussion over his tariff attitude,
which has always been involved in much
grsver doubt than his civil service reform
attitude. His silence, then, might reasona-
bly, be explained on the ground that to speak
would affect votes. That reason no longer
exists. He can now give his tariff views
without any danger to his Presidential pros
poets. The country would like to know
what they are. A knowledge of them is
quite as important 10 its welfare as informa-
tion as to what office-holders are to go and
what to stay.

LOVERS LAUGHING AT STERN COMMANDS. -!

A LoNG-IsLAND COUPLE LEAVE TOWN SUDDENLY
HOW THEY DECEIVED THE OLD PEOPLE.
Not since the tar-and-featherlng and supposed
murder of Charles G.. Kelsey has the village of
Huntington, L. l., been thrown into such commotion
as has been occasioned by the clopement of Miss
Lizzie Brush and f. r. Cogswell The young
woman is the only daughter of Thomas H. Brush,
one of the most prosperous farmers in Suffolk
County, who also serves the people as Town
Assessor. She has just attained her seventeenth
birthday and is considered by the rural swells a
handsome brunette was the most admired of all the
village bellies. COgswell is the son of +. r..
COgswell, inventor OF the life raft, who died some
time ago. He always drove the fastest horses in
the village, and possessed of a neat little
fortune, which he spent freely. Although only
tweDty-one, no was looked upon as an authority on
all sporting matters
mutual admiration existed between the young
people and the gossipng villagers soon set their
tongues waggng. One evening Mr.. Brush in o few
words told Miss Lizzie just what he thought of her
lover. and forbade her going out with him again
or receiving him at the house. For short time
she remained an Obedient daughter and people
began to think thoy had been wrong IN their specn,
alone, and Miss Lizzie walked to and from church
with the family. Her beaming face was missed at
the post Office where it had been her habit to go
every afternoon for the mail and meet John, who
accompanied her home. Mr.. Brush and his wife
did not entertain any thought of such thing as
letters being carried by mutual friends or clandes-
tine meetings.
On Monday evening Miss Lizzie. accompanied by
her father, attended "a church entertainment at the
little village Methodist Church, of which her
parents are memt ers. Cogswell also there. but
did not seem to pay any part attention to
Miss LIZZIE. At half-past 10 she was accompanied
home by her father and after kissing her parents
good night hurried up stairs to her room. The
next morning when Mrs Brush went to call her to
breakfast, she received no response and when she
opened the bedroom door and saw that the bed
had not been disturbed and saw the open window,
the truth flashed across her mind. Her husband
rushed TO the COgsvell place and learned that
Johns best horse and side-bar buggy were driven
ont by the owner about II o'clock the ight before
and had not yet returned. neither had they mp to
last evening. Angry and crcstiallen the father
returned home and then he and his wife sat down
and talked the matter over
