The April number of the Forum, the
monthly review of live topics publised at
96 Fifth Ave, New York, contains two no
table political articles. Mr.. John Foord
an Independent, who was formerly editor
a the New York Times, maintains that
Mr.. Blaine could not carry New York this
year or receive as large proportion OF the
votes In that pivotal State AS he received in
1884. He makes this showing by study
Of the statistics of the elections held since
1884. Mr. Henry Watterson, writing on
the Hysteria of Sectional Agitation"
shows that the Union Is stronger now than
ever before, and that no partisan agitation
can again estrange the sections. He pays
his compliments vigorously To Mr.. Mura.
Halstead, and quotes election statistics to
prove Mr.. Hasteads error. There are
two articles that bear on the Roman Cath
oiic Church; one by the Belgian scholar,
Prof Emil de Laveleye, and the other by
Monsiguor T. s. Preston, whe writes spe-
