Peoples History of Ireland" by George NJ.
Towle. This is a work which all young ppo-
pie should read. Ireland is country which
occupies the attention of the enlightened
world Her history is one of deep interest
Her present condition and the struggle of her
people for relief from the evils which have
crushed them form subject for the consid
Grafton OF all intelligent and humane people
Towle's History begins with the earliest DAYS
of the Irish people, and brings the narrative
down bv regular steps until the proposal OF
Home Rule by Gladstone. The volume is
interesting and instructive for old as well as
young people. J, Pierce has it for sale.
Another semi-monthly part of Fremont's
Memoirs is issued by Bedford, Clarke, &
Co., Chicago and New York In it we find
an account of the march through the Black
Hills and beyond. In imitation of George
Weymouth, who in 1905, erected cross in
Maine at the ultimate end of his route"
Fremont engraved a cross in the vast rock
one thousand miles beyond the Mississippi, to
which discoveries have given the national
name of Rock Independence. The close of
this part finds Fremont at home, from his
first expedition. The illustrations are superb.
One of them is the portrait of Jessie B 'nton
Fremont. Another represents Fremoats
Rocky Mountain Flag, The others are fine
views of the country traversed.
ID. Lothrop & Co, Boston, have issued
their holiday numbers of Babylsnd and W ld-

We hope the republican senators will
vote against the appointment of Charles
B. Morton as Commissioner of Naviga-
ton, because it is an appointment unfit to
be made. II is true that all such grossly
unfit appointments help the republican
party. but senators will do better to act
for the best good Of the country in such a
case and not be governed by the consider
alton of party advantage. Let the sena-
tors do their duty to the country. defeat
the appointment il they can. and if they
cannot the responsibility will be upon the
President and his party.

License or Prohibition in Massa-
sets. A Manifest Change in
Opinion.

OPhhsO"'
Partly because prohibition is net COM
pletelv enforced in this State, and partly
for other reasons. there are some good
citizens friends of law and order, who
think rigid license law would be better
than our present statute on the subject.
So it was thought by large Numbers. and
probably by a majority of voters in Massa-
chusetts. Hence rigid license law has
been in force for some years in that State.
But il does not accomplish what was ex-
pected of it. Recently the public senti
ment against it has increased in nearly all
sections of the State. The recent NUM-
cpal elections have plainly attested this
The Sentinel. a vigorously conducted and
lively newspaper, neutral in politics. pub
lished in Franklin. Mass, remarks as
follows.
In the municipal elections of Tue sday last
a no license wave swept the State. Grand
campaign work had been done by the
temperance people. Fall River shows the
most remarkable conversion, the majority of
1881 for license last year being changed to
majority of 294 for prohibition, Cambridge
took good place in the temperance ranks
with majority against license ef 700. Other
cities with good records are Springfield, W here
the result il attributed to work bv women
at the polls, Northampton, Fitchburg,
New Bedford. Haverhill. Maiden, Gloucester,
Brockton, Newton, with a vote of ISL to
239. Watham, and Somerville. This is a
grand showing. the result of the best tenn
perance campaigning done in the cities of
the state in recent years. The wave is gath
ering strength as it rolls onward and its pro-
gress cannot be stayed. The country towns
in the spring will roll up the majority for
prohibition and republican legislature is
bound to vote TO submit a constitutional pro-
hbitors amendment to the people at the ear
lest possible moment. Every member elect
ed on the republican ticket is under moral
obligations to stand for this measure and
when the people once receive it, a strong
campaign, like that whiCH has swept the
liquor strouoholds of the state, will give the
victory to the good cause. The crisis of the
battle in this state has very nearly come.
TIE republican party has accepted this is
sue, t. rown down the gage to the enemy, and
now it must fight out the battle. The result
of Tuesdays voting is an echo to the voice
of the people and it will continue to ring I'M
til the result is attained Taunton, Law
renee. Chelsea and Holyoke are the only
cities in the list of those voting Tuesday to

compsred To the other.
