Liebknecht, the German Socialist, and the
Ayelings, his English associates, are much
disappointed at the result of their labors in
America. Though representing the most
moderate and respectable school of Socialism,
and differing widely from the Anarchists of
Chicago, they have found their audiences UNI
sympathetic, even in large cities. Dr. Ave
ling claims that there is less Socialism here
than in London, and London is very free
from it when compared with Berlin or Paris
But there is no reason that DIR. Ayeling
should be surprised at this. The American
laborer is as much better off than the English
laborer, as the latter is better off than the
laborer Of Germany. France or Belgium.
Socialism is a foreign importation; it does
not thrive in our midst.

The Cruise of the Mystery and Other Po-
ems. BY Celia Thaxter. This is dainty
volume of graceful verses, with the charac-
teristics that have made the author a favo-
rite. The pleasing simplicity and naturalness
of many of the minor poems will make them
as acceptable to many general readers as the
one which gives the title to the collection.

The case of r. E. Sproule, the American
citizen under sentence Of death in British
Columbia, seems to be unusually peculiar
The American consul, the mayor of Victoria
and prominent British citizens believe that
Sproule is innocent. Three times the Cana
dian authorities at Ottawa have reprieved
the man at the request of the government at
Washington, and the Secretary of State
made further effort Thursday in his behalf
If there is any reason to suppose that
Sproule's conviction was the result of con-
spiracy, and many prominent people seem to
think that there is, the inficti0n of capital
punishment is to be deplored.

Lord Churchill's latest policy as mapped
out in his recent speech is more remarkable
for what it refuses than for anything it con-
cedes. The government, he says, will not
give home rule to Ireland, and viii not be
hurried. A vague promise of some local re-
forms is youchsafed which may mean very
little or very much, but probably does mean
the former Churchill appears to have COM
pletely overshadowed Lord Salisbury and is
practically running the government all alone
by himself, lat least as far as the formulation of
policiesis concerned. Within few weeks he
has constructed two, each radically different
from the other, and by this time he is prob
ably at work ON a third. different from both.

In q house by the wayside. Shortly aiOer
thev entered the house Judge Bowley dashed
mn dismounted and ran into the room. He
was we'll known to the family who lived IN
the house, and the boy noticing the welcome
with which he was received, asked:

For time he sat in silence, eating a bis
cult which his mother had produced from a
leather bag, but long continued silence was
not his province. He may not have doubted
its golden qualities, but he preferred the
silvery jingle Of speech
''Your horse will get wet, WON'T hef'

She took another biscuit from the leather
bag He took the biscuit and soon cho5ed
himself His mother slapped him ON the
back, and failing to relieve him, drew him
across her lap and ran her finger down his
throat When he had recovered from the
imminent danger Of choking to death, he sat
down on a stool and winked necessarily for
a time. but winl1ing was not his forte.

The Judge looked far out into the rain
that fell in gray sheets and the woman
reached over and pinched the boy.
