HOW GLADSTONE READS.
The Grand Old Man Likes to Peruse
Three Volumes Together.

Mr.. Gladstone usually has three books ir
reading at the same time, and changes from
one % the other. when HE mind has reached
the limit of sbsorpt,on. This is necessary
corrective to the tendency TO think vuly OF
one thing at one time, which sometimes in
politics leads him to neg ect that all-round
survey of the situation which is indispensable
to a prime minister. Daring the beginning
of the Irish question in 1850 he Was so ab-
sorhed in the question of the coercion of Tur-
KEY that he could hardly be induced to spar,
thought for Ireland; now il is Just a. din
cult to get him to think of any political CUES
ton but that of Ireland.
MIR. Gladstone complains sometimes that
his memory is no longer quite as good a. il
used to be, but. although that may be true.
it is still twice as good as any body else's. for
Mr. Gladstone has an exuaordinary faculty

ssTHE Ballet in Paris profuse-
~ and beautifully illustrated in col
ors. is the subject of the initial ar
ticIe in the February number Of
"The Cosmopolitan" 1t is by the
well-known and brilliant Paris cor
respondent, Theodore Child, who
describes with true French Yivacity
and Anglo-Saxon delicacy the life
and character Of the Partisan girl.
He shows that her training from
childhood is painfully exacting and
laborious. Dazzling and fascinating
as she is before the footlights, with
her face all beaming with smiles,
and moving with a marvellous ease
and lightness, she is quite different
behind the scenes. Here she is, as
a rule, scrawny, aud invariably ig-
norant Of everything except her art.
Mr. Child gives an account the
most famous Of the Partisan danSeW.
seS and mentions the marvellous sal
aries that some of the receive. Sew
eral of the illustrations accompany
ing his article are by M. Paul Re-
nouard, the distinguished Partisan
artist whose pictures of ballet girls
are the finest made.

We cannot understand why Da-
kota is not admitted into the Union.
Her delegate at Washington has
shown most clearly why she should
be admitted and clothed with all the
privileges and advantages of the sis
terhood. Her population numbers
some 10000 persons, the great ma
jority of them American born, and
entitled by law and by justice and
by humanity to the rights and privi-
leges and advantages of American
citizenship; they are as loyal to the
government as are the people of any
of the States; they are law-abiding,
enterprising, working for the glory
and prosperity of the public; they
are self sustaining, tax-paying and
ambitious; they are good citizens in
all that the word implies and the
nation requires. And yet they are
governed as Russia governs her colo
nies; are rnled By men not Of them
and who have no interest in them
or their welfare; their laws are in
terpreted, applied and enforced by
judges and court officers who are
sent among them as strangers, and
who are really not in political sym
pathy with them. Though living
within the borders of the republic,
the people of Dakota enjoy none of
the rights of republicans. They
are really little better than serfs,
and their masters are anything but
kind and indulgent. and are rarely
thoughtful and considerate when
selecting rulers for the slaves. Mon
archial Great Britain is less cruel
and less harsh with her colonists,
for she permits them to make their
own laws, and select their own off,
GERS, and live under. their own gov
enments.
If politics of at the bottom of
this injustice to Dakota, let politics
take back seat, No party can af-
ford to do injustice to co. 900 Ameri-
can citizens. 1t will recoil with
deadly force upon those who resort
to such party trickery, whether de-
or republican.
