 It was simple life, with few com- plications, this life of the old squire he lived without much care or fore thought, except for his own pleasure, his family and his acres, then he died, and was buried beside his ancestors. He observed the outward forms of re- ligion, as it was then taught, but into his daily life there entered little thought of any world except this one, which he found comfortable and suited to all' the ambitions that he possessed. d.

The Future of the Drama.

Lawrence Barrett, in North American Review
 Divines and scholars hopefully re- gard the future of the theatre as a grand helpmate in the education and culture of the nation. A willing hand will be given to any scheme which promises to give us an improved thea Ire, to elevate the standard of the art. The munificent support given by the people of England to Henry Irving, the loving estimation in which our own Edwin Booth is held by our own people, the sympathy which the pub lie seems eager to extend to any of those who carry their ermine un- stained, are indications of the popular feeling. It is the duty ot the actor to meet this feeling at least half way, to give his hearty aid in any movement which looks to the improvement of the theatre, and by his own life to echo the good thoughts which are born of hope in the general heart. Many schemes suggest themselves, but the length of this article prevents their mention here. The simplest plan will be the best, the plan which leavens our ranks from below. We must, by a caution in the admission of unfit or unworthy members to the novitiate, create an esprit de corps which will be jealous of the purity of the whole or- der and cause each actor, high or low, to share the artist feeling. We can thus lay foundation deep and broad, by which we shall not only preserve what is good of our traditions, but render it impossible for future evil to creep in. All true lovers of art will aid us, a liberal public will gladly sustain us, and we shall have shown the lovers of the theatre that we are not indifferent or careless where the interests of the Drama are concerned.

THE LAST KISS.
BY JAMES wHITooMB RILEY.

put the half-writtcn pVem,
 While the pen idly NraiiRd in my hand, Writes on, "Had words to complete 1t. Who'd read it, or who'd understand?" But the little bare feet on the stairway, And the faint, smothered laugh in the hall, And the eerie-low lisp on the silence, Cry up to me over it all. So gather it up-where was broken
 The tear faded thread of my theme, Telling how, as one night sat writing, A fairy broke in on my dream 4 little inquisitive fairy
 My own little girl, with the gold ! Of the sun in her hair, and the dewy
 Blue eyes of the fairies of old Twas the dear little girl that scolded- "For was It a moment like this, l said, "when she knew l was busy,
 To come romping in for kiss? Come rOwdying up from her mother
 And clamorIng there at my knee For one little kiss for my dolly
 And one little uzzer for me-" God pity the heart that repelled her
 And the cold hand that turned her away! And take from the lips that denied her
 This answerless prayer of to-day! Take, Lord, from my mem'ry forever
 That pltiful sob of despair, And the patte and trip of the little bare feet And the one piercing cry on the stair! I put by the half.written poem,
 While the pen idly trailed in my hand, Writes on, "Had words to completeit,
 Who'd read it, or who'd understand| But the little bare feet on the stairway,
 And the faint, smothercd laugh in the hall And the eerie-low lisp on the silence,
 Cry up to mo over it all. -Erchdn0e.

Rheumatism

Is undoubtedly caused by lactid acid in the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous tissues, and causes the pains and aches in the back, shoulders, knees, ankles, hips and wrists. Thou sands of people have found in Hoods Sarsapafilla positive cure for rheu- matism. This medicine, by it's puri- flying action, neutralizes the acidity of the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the whole body.

McMinville, Tenn, writes In my opinion from experience in my wife's case, your Lemon Elixir has few if any equals, and no superiors in medi- cine for the regulation of the liver, stomach, and bowels. Your Lemon Hot Drops are superior to any reme- dies we have ever been able to get for my wife's throat and lung disease. I feel certain, and so does she, that your Lemon Elixir and Lemon Hot Drops have been the means of greatly pro- longing her life. We have not the least idea that she would now be liv- ing only for these remedies. Had she only used these remedies sooner she would long since, in my opinion, have been we'll and been saved the great suffering she has undergone. Truly,

1 think I have said enough to show that, rude and hard as was the life of a pioneer settler in America, he did not find it so severe change to come to a new country abounding in wild game, in wild vegetables and fruits, in sweet waters, and fertile land, as he would find it to leave the luxurious English towns or country at this present time.
 There was rude plenty there, and, among the rich, some extravaganza; but the rich were few, the many were poor, and this country offered, from the first, great opportunities to the poor man. After having said so much of the social condition of the English of the early seventeenth century, let me end with description of a rich and prosperous squire about the time Virginia was settled.
 The squire was strong and active, of ruddy complexion, with flaxen hair. He wore coat of green, with buff brooches and waistcoat. Dogs in- numerable followed him wherever he went, and the great hall of his man. sion was strewn with marrow bones on which fox-hounds, mastiffs, span- iels, and terriers gnawed their fill. His parlor wall was hung with many fox-skins of his own killing. On the broad hearth some of the fa- vorite dogs basked by the fire. One or two of the chairs held litters of

THE SOUTH AND THE TARIFF.

The south is the champion of free
trade. Entering upon n manufectur.
ing career her true position is for q
tariff for protection. But she clings
to the old ideas. The trouble is that
the south looks at everything from a
political and not practical stand
point. Under the old plantation sys-
tenn of master and slave, all the ideas
and modes of life of the southerner,
who amounted to anything, we're es-
sentially English. The English noble
man with his retainers and tenants
was typified by the southern plante
and his slaves. Hence the south that
manufactured nothing, preferred an
alliance with England to an alliance
with the north, and went to war to se-
cure it. Having failed in that, the
south is very far from being truly nat
ional in its feelings. While it is loyal
to the government, it is not loyal to
the ideas that make the government
This is all the result OF long education
and political training. The hardest
thing in the world to shake off are the
ideas imbibed in youth. Naturally,
the south, which is in the infancy of
prosperous manufacturing career, will
drift to the side of protection. But
the sentiment will have to come up
from the people who have
forged to ,the front and are known
as the middle class; it will
never come from the leaders and
the politicians. Before the war there
were no middle classes at the South.
This being changed, the poor
trash the piney woods boy who raises
no cotton, but raises plenty of hog and
hominy, is getting to the front and he
is getting there as tariff man. On
the tariff question to-day, North Caro-
lima, Virginia and Alabama are repub-
lican. The leaders keep down this is.

OUR NEW ROADS.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer an-
nounces, that at five o'clock on
Wednesday last. the contract for the
construction OF the main line OF the
Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern, con-
Meeting Seattle, ON Puget Sound, with
Spokane Falls, was let to the million
aire contracting firm OF RYAN & Nc
DONALD, of New York. The mileage
embraced i'm this contract is about
two hundred and twenty-five miles. to
connect with the fifty.mile section of
the road, which is now being built
west from Spokane.
The entire line is to be completed
within two years, so that the trains
will be running from this city TO the
Sound before the first day Of May
1890. This is good news and there is
not man in our city who will not re-
ioice at it. From the moment when
our board of trade invited the mana
gers of the Seattle & Lake Shore road
to an arrangement whereby the two
cities could be connected by rail, to
the final completion of the contract,
the REVIEW has labored increasingly
and unsparingly to aid the enterprise,
and it now views the situation with u
feeling akin to that OF the victor in a
great cOntpst
But the REVIEW is not willing to
stop here. Spokane needs all the
roads she can get. The Sound connec.
ton being secured, we want to push
to the ncrth and form connection
with the Canadian Pacific, thus secur-
ing competing trans-continental
line. This the Spokane & Northern
promises us. This also the Spokane
& Seattle road virtually promises. Be
tween the two Spokane ought to get
at least one road, and what Spokane
wants is more roads; and the more the

PoLrTIcAL campaigns in Tennessee
seem destined to be accompanied by
more or less of dramatic effect. Since
the days OF the eagle orator GUsTAvUs

era Of ANDREW JOHNSON, down to the
campaign last year, when the orator
Gov. TAYLOR beat his brother. "iddling
Bob TAYLOR" the country expects and
gets something to amuse it from Ten
nessee The latest story is to the effect
that WILLIAn SMITH, chairman Of the
Knox county delegation, during the re-
cent session Of the state convention at
Nashville, attended church, took
back seat and being very tired from
the four days session OF the convention
soon fell asleep. The preacher was
speaking OF the great men of Tennes-
see, and upon his pronouncing the
name "JoHN KNOX" once governor of
the state, SMITH jumped to his feet and
shouted, "thirty-tive votes for r. L..

PALOUsE UITY.

A terrible fire has swept away in a
night two thirds of Palouse City. One
hundred and twenty buildings We're
burned, that being the exact number
that were destroyed by the great fire
in the city of Baltimore in eighteen
hundred and seventy-three. The
special telephone to the REVIEW says ::
"The bulk of the property destroyed
was not insured, and hence may be
figured almost total loss" IL is
hard to believe that this beautiful little
city, which was the pride of all the
Palouse country, and which was by
the energy of its inhabitants
and it's own natural advantages of To-
cation rapidly taking rank among the
metropolitan towns of the territory,
has met with this terrible calamity
While the same pluck and en- ergy dis
played in the past will at once he ex.
erted in rebuilding the waste places,
yet it seems that something should be
done to, relieve tho Palouse City suf-
ferers. The REVIEW will gladly lend
itself to any effort in that direction.

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

The temperance people Of Washing
ton have just met in convention and
placed a territorial ticket in the field.
The temperance people are not dis.
appointed that the REVIEW does not
support the ticket While this is
true, it is a fact that the cause repre-
sented by JUDGE GREENE has a great
many sympathizers. There are many
wrongs connected with the liquor
business that cry loudly for redress.
But this is true of a thousand other
phases of life and business. In the
judgment of the REVIEW there are
other questions OF more Importance
than the temperance question. Or,
in ether words, there are questions
which, combined, are Of more impor--
tance than any one question. let that
one question be of whatever impor-
tance it may.
The first thing essential to
human happiness is liberty. There
are in America to-day, many thou
sands of men who cannot vote and
have their ballots honestly counted for
the candidates of their choice. Even
admitting that this condition OF affairs
is for the best, it is more essential
that all citizens now entitled TO vote
be fitted to exercise this great privi-
lcge, than that efforts be made TO say

The New York state republican cop
veution held at Buffalo on the six-
teenth, declined TO indicate n prefer
ence for candidates for president or
vice-president. declaring that to be the
duty of the national convention at
Chicago. II is likely that this Chicago
convention will come nearer being a
consulting and deliberative body than
any that has assembled in the country
for some time. OF course, IL has all
along been the objects of conventions
TO get together delegations from vari-
Gus parts OF the country for the pur-
pose of interchanging views, and select
ing, after consultation, the best men
for the tickets: but like everything
else. the convention business drifted
into a machine. Defeat is not pleas
ant, but it carries with it some salu-
tary lessons and some good results.
