THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION AND THE CUES
ION OF WAGES A Study in Social Ply
siOlOgy. By J. Schoenhof, Author of "De-
structiVe Influences Of the Tariff" etc.
New York: G P. Putnam's Sons.
This is the latest volume in the "Ques-
tons of the Day" series being issued by
the Putnams. Mr.. Schoenhof is one of
the foremost writer's of the day on in
dustrial topics; he has made special
studies of labor, tariff, capital and other
problems, and discusses them from the
standpoint of thorough knowledge and
intelligence, rather than from the posi-
ton of political partisan. In the pre-
sent treatise he takes the same middle
ground that it is wrong to denounce
capital as cruel and oppressive, and
equally meaningless to rail against labor
as unreasOning. The cause for the con-
slant trouble between capital and labor
is found in the fact that the latter, from
want of skill and knowledge to conduct
enterprises TO its own and sole benefit,
gives capital the power to appropriate
to itself the profit share of organized
labor. Education and enlightment, he
thinks, will cure the evil, they being the
guides to all great forward movements
of society. He takes a more hopeful
view of the future as regards labor than
most thinkers.

LITERATURE.
Frank Leslis's Popular Monthly

For December opens with a very timely
article called Another Bit of Turkey
It has no reference to Thanksgiving, but
to the annexation of Roumelia by the
Prince of Bulgaria. This unexpected
seizure of another bit of Turkey and the
events that have followed, required eX-
planations. In this article Mr.. Oscar
van. formerly Turkish Consul-General
thoroughly versed In the system OF ORR
entail rule, gives a clear view OF the
Province and Its people, as well as OF
Bulgaria. 1.-THE Shakers in Niskayuna"
is a sketch from lady of that curious
community accompanied by a hne
series of Illustrations. 1.-THE Story OF
Napoleon Bo sparte's Divorce from the
Empress Josephine is told by Noel
Rutbven in q way to excite the readers
Warmest sympathy with the amiable
ladv whom a husbands ambition COM
PEELED to descend from her throne.
Walter S. Baltic describes and Illus
trates little-known part of our hemis-

der. of the Navy, carries us back to the
DAYS of Robinson Crusoe. in his . Rescue
OF the Trinitu'S Crew"-the story of the
crew of an American vessel lost on a
rarely visited island in the Antarctic
Ocean. Ackroyd's scientific article on
"Whirlpools and Whirlwinds" explains
the origin of those deadly forces in
nature which so frequently compel us
to record their destructive ravages. The
lighter elements in the magazine, the
fine illustration, the stories by Mrs. E.
B. Duffey, G. NJ. Boutelle, R. c. Meyers,
Laurence Germaine, with the poetic and
other miscellany, make the number from
every point of view extremely attractive.

A PRIMARY HISTORY FTHE UNITED STATES;
For Intermediate Glasses illustrated.
New York: A S. Barnes & Co Price, 60
cents
The New York School Journal says of
this history; "The author does not at
tempt fine writing. What is said is in a
simple, easy style, giving the story of
the essential facts of history, emitting
the unimportant topics. The child is
led to see the origin and causes of
events. For example, he knows at once
the reasons why the French and Indian
wars, and the war of the Revolution,
became necessary, and is lead to be
real student of causes ard effects before
he knows it. Everything in this book
depends upon the centres around the
story. This is as it ought to be, for the
very soul of history depends upon the
narrative. If this is clear, attractive,
and properly arranged, the work is well
done. On this one feature all depends.
We have tried this little book from all
points of view, and find it to be excel
lent. There can be nothing in the way
of its general adoption but knowledge
of its features. +"

The news from the Soudan still continues
to be gloomy. Gen. Butler in his retreat
from Gubat only succeeded in reaching Abu
Klea wells when his force was surrounded
and further progress arrested. He is now
entrenched and acting on The defensive. OF
course he cannot long maintain his army
in its present position. Nothing can save
him but relief from Woseley. Can Wolse-
ley furnish relief? The total force with
which he marched up the Nile was only
about IL 900 men. This was divided into
three deIachments. One under Gen. Earle
set out for Abu Hamed; another, the one
now surrounded al Abu Klsa, crossed the
desert to Meiemneh; while the third re-
mained with Wolseley at KeIti. Wolseley's
force therefore must be small Can he
spare enough Of it to cut through the Arab
hordes that surround Gen. Butler and sue
cor him? 1t looks as if he could not; and
as if Butler and his force were in danger of
meeting the fate that befel Gordon and his
garrison at Khartoum.

At So Below Zero.

A correspondent from Manitoba writes
that with the thermometer $50 below zero
the air is so wonderfully clear aud dry that
it does not seem half so cold as it really is.
But the effects are reliable proofs of the
temperature. 1t is very common sight to
see people partly frozen, but unless they see
themselves In glass, or are told OF the fact.
casionally the part frozen will snap off, and
kittens and ponies ears often break off,
Mustard two feet above the stove will freeze.
Water poured from boiler into pail and
taken at once to the stable will frequently
be t0ickly coated with ice, which must be

1t is matter tor coDgratulation that a
part OF the inscriptions gang of Democratic
politicians who engineered the fraud on the
ballot box in Chicago by which it was
hoped 10 steal United States Senator, have
been convicted and are in fair way to
grace the penitentiary for some years to
come. Oh their guilt there has never been
much doubt, but there was great danger
that the power of the ring to which they be-
longed was sufficient to prevent their pun
ishment. 1t turns out that it was not.
Elections in Chicago in the future will be
likely TO he good deal purer than they have
been in the past.

ChiefJussiee Waite.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Rumors of
most serious nature regarding the
mental condition of Chief-Justice
Waite have been afoat for a consid-
erable time. That he was physically
a complete wreck has been known
for some time, but newspapers as well
asindividuals have refrained from Civ
ing pronounced publicity to the fact.
But that his mind was affected few
people outside Of his immediate cir
Gle were aware until to-day. 1t is
said by those who are in a position
to know that he has not been wholly
rational for several weeks, and seems
to be growing worse. Last summer
he was stricken with paralysis, and
had not recovered fully when erysip-
elias attacked his face and head,
affecting his brain so that he seldom
has lucid interval. His friends
have no hopes of his recovery, and
the utmost they expect is that he
will linger few months. The posi-.
bility of his death excites great at
tentiOnsin political circles. Should
te die prior to March 4, President
Arthur would appoint a Republican
ho succeed him. His demise after that
date would place a Democrat at the
head of the Supreme bench. Every
effort will be made by his physicians
to secure a rational interval suffici-
emily long for him to resign in order
that a Republican successor may be
appointed.

All About It.

New YORK, December Bore
garding the Grant subscription Cyru;
w. Field said yesterday: 4 am
very sorry anything of this kind has
got to the papers, for there is moth.
ing in it. Mr.. Hoyt, who has an
office in this building, told me Gen.
Grant was likely to need assistance,
and l called on Mr.. Vanderbilt, whe
said his claim was S160, 900, but he
said IF you are getting up sub
scriptiOn to pay that, put me down
for S60,000.' We don't propose to
put our money into sieve and pay
the debts of Grant & Ward, but
whatever General Grant needs he
will have, and that is all there is of
it.
The Herald this morning states
positively that the confession of
ndgment Of Mr.. Vanderbilt's claim
was made at General Grants sugges-
ton and was a measure of defense
against more clamorous creditors.
Mr.. George Jones, proprietor of
the Times and custodian of the Grant
fund raised some years ago, says the
late Governor Morgan advised the
investment of that fund in Wabash
stock, and on his guaranteeing a re-
turn of $3.50 per annum for ten
years from such investment, Mr..
Jones so placed it. The Morgan
estate has regularly paid the SIS, 900
as guaranteed. The fund is abso-
lutely secure, and nets Gen. Grant
$4,000 year.
