II. Rider Haggard's new story, "Mai-
was Revenge" is begun in Harler's
Magazine for July, and liberal install
ment (twenty.eight pages is given. The
conclusion will appear in the August
issue. This is as charming a piece OF
work as Mr.. Haggard has done. While
abounding in strong situations, it has no
recourse to the supernatural to pull the
heroes through. The scene is laid in
Africa, Of course, and Allan Quatermain
is the principal character. In addition
to working out the simple but clever
plot, the old hunter has some exciting
adventures in the way OF elephant hunt.
ing which are simply fascinating read
ing. The story is literally illustrated
by Thulstrup, and one OF the illustra-
tions answers for froutispiece. The
other fiction in the number is made up OF
large portion OF William Blacks "In
Far Lochaber," which sustains the keen
interestin the earlier chapters awakened,
and an illustrated dialect story called
"Old Mis- and Sweetheart" by H. s.
Edwards. This is a touching story of
Southern life that probes the tenderest
spots in the human heart. 1t is impos.
sible not to pity the people OF other
tongues than English to whom the un-
tianslatable charms of dialect tales like
this, in all their sweetness, must remain
forever unknown. Mr.. w. D. Howclls'
novel, "Annie Kilburn," is continued in
interesting phases. The authors types
are strikingly true to lie.

BOTH the Democratic and Republi-

at Chicago in 1884 in their platforms
pledged themselves to tariff reform
and taxation reduction. President
Cleveland was elected by majority
of the popular vote of this country
upon that platform. He promised to
carry out so far as lay within his power
these solemn pledges. Now, in his
message, President Cleveland is sim.
ply performing in courageous, patri.
otic and honest manner, the duty
which the people elected himto do
His opponents. the Republicans, are
placed in the position of being for and
against the present tariff. They are

what they promised nor will they

competition, lest it " flush the game"

HON. CHARLES Fl. KNOX, a leading
lawyer and active Republican, of New
York city, has resigned his member,
ship in the Republican County com
mittee, for reasons which he states in
bis letter of resignation:
On the tariff l also find myself op
posed to the Republican party. 1t is
not wise or proper 10 keep up war tax
es in time of profound peace. Not
only is money unnecessarily taken
from the people, but great surplus
leads to improper expenditures.
In 1884 l hesitated to support Mr..
Cleveland, for l feared the effect on
the business of the country of chang.
ing the party in power; but I can
perceive no i'll effects to business of
his election. He has proved himself
to be honest, energetic and faithful. l
am In favor of his re election, and |
think him entitled to the votes of all
candid citizsns.
Holding these views, it will be an
parent to you that cannot, with self.
respect, longer act with the Republi.
Gao party, which has honored me, and
which ! leave With regret.
