Intimidation Is utterly impossible under the
australian SYSTEM" we have heard. All, is il?
Out III Montana the railroad contractor calls up
his men and thus addresses them: I'VE hive
mere new system OF voting ana the bosses are
not able 10 tell how you vote. But unless IA large
proportion OF the votes coming out OF that box to-
night Is Democratic every man In this camp /,
discharge tomorrow" Out of 1S2 votes all but
any law which the ingenuity Of men
can invent; so, we say there is 40 assn ance that
me complicated Australian machine will e5sure
al untrammeiled'baiot- Il Brldpton News.
Certainly wicked men may evade any law
which the ingenuity of men may invent
They evade the laws for theft arson aud
even murder But does the Bridgton News
therefore argue that the laws for theft, muir
DER and arson should not be perfected aud
strengthened in every possible way? The
News admits that the Australian ballot sys-
tenn In Montana SO reduced the facilities for
Intimidation that the contractor could find
NO other way to bulldoze his men than by
calling them all up and telling them that, as
the bosses could not spot for punishment the
single mau who should dare to vote the Re-
publican ticket, the whole crew would be dis
charged unless proper number of Deu.o-
cratic votes should be- found in the ballot
box. or course, in that remote mining camp
OF 1856 voters, 1t was possible for boss to do
this. But even there, four Republicans were
able to vote according to their convictions,
without fear that they would be spotted for
discharge by the bosses, who under the old
system would have stood over these men to
see that they voted the Democratic ticket
But the Bridgton News tries to convey the
unfair impression that it would be as easy
In Maine for boss to intimidate his men as
1t was In this Montana mining camp where
the members Of that crew were the only vot-
ers. In the town of Bridgton about $50 votes
were cast at the last State election. Does
the Bridgton News suppose that the boss of
one Of the Bridgton mills could tell his crew
that unless the town should go Republican
or Democratic the whole crew would be dis
ehargedP or course not. But there Is not a
place In Maine where boss under any sys-
tenn cannot, with perfect impun;ty, stand at
Che polls ana by noticing how the men vote,
intimidate the whole crew quietly but effect
ually. The bosses in Montana had done so
In years past; and when they found them
selves barred out from the places where they
could exercise their self assumed privilege of
espionage over the SURFACES OF their fellow
citizens. they resorted to general procla-
nation that happened to be effective in that
mining camp, but which would have rendered
them ridiculous and liable to the laws in a
New England State.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.
From the Fairmont, Mimi, News.

The mutations of time were never more
fully eXemplified than in the October Bel
ford of this year where appear two articles
1.-THE Protectionist's View of IT. and DO
Majorities Rule?" the first by Thomas b.
Reed aud the second by Jefferson Davis, and
the two extremes of men, thought and SUBJ
jects are there grouped as never before, and
we doubt IL they will ever be again, in one
periodical. Mr.. navis's article is like him
self dead and mouldy with the past, inert,
lifeless, moth eaten and musty and but fol-
the pathetic side of it the effort to resusci-
tate the almost forgotten issues for which
the rebellion was fought would be Ridiculous.
The nervelpss grasp of Mr.. Davis was nevt r
more apparent than in this article. On the
other hand Mr.. Reeds article deals with a
live question, that Of projection, and wheth
er We agree with or dissent from the wri,er
all must admit that the doctrine is one of &C
tuality, and it is handled with all the ter>e
vlgor which might be expected of the leader
nf the young Republicans aud its treatment
is as crisp aad refres ing compared with the
maunderings of Mr.. Davis as bright hoar
frost to u ellow-frver-laden atmosphere.
The old and the new dispensations should
read both articles and it was rare stroke OF
genius Incorporating both into one number
OF a popular margarine.

Metzerott, Shoemaker. New York: Thomas
Y. Crowell & Co. This is in some respects
a remarkable book and possesses some very
unusual qualities. 1t is novel with pur-
pose. 1t is plea for Christian Socialism.
and presents its working in an attractive
form. The characters are wonderfully we'll
drawn. Metzerott, the Socialist is a striking
figure; his son Louis is saint and martyr;
the Catholic priest. Father McCloskey is wise
and witty. Added to these the Carpenter
preacher, Ernest Clare, the good and homely
Sally Price and DR.. Richards, the atheist,
and his sweet wife and we have galaxy of
interesting figures. There is much that Is
strikingly dramatic in the plot, and beautiful
spirit pervades it all and lifts it quite out of
the common.

NEW PUBLICATIONS,

English Lands, Letters and Kings. From
Celt to Tudor. By Donald G. Mitchell
NEW York: Charles Scribner's Sons; Port
land: Loring, Short & Harmony Mr.
Mitchell has the knack of charming his
readers. whatever may be the subject upon
which he is dscoursing. His new venture
into the realm of history, or perhaps more
properly historical biography, is extremely
successful, and his panoramic view of
British writers" is an interesting series of
studies which we are very glad to see In
book form. In a small volume of three
hundred and twenty-five pages, one does not
expect elaborate criticism, or prolonged or
deep study of more than forty writer's of
prose and poetry. The book is, as the au-
thor says, a series of very familiar and in
formal talks about English literary people
and the ways in which they worked; and
also about the times in which they lived and
the places where they grew up. Ore seldom
finds work so cursory and yet so satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Mitchell begins with Caedmon
and Beda, and gives us glimpses of the more
prominent English writers following these
through the Elizabethan period. He has a
pretty knack with words, and in writing of
English literatures from Celt to Tudor, he
takes high flights, alighting here and there and
then on the wing again past level spaces and
plains where there is nothing of especial in
terest to attract the eye. He writes of
Chaucer with enthusiasm and perhaps
there has never been a more felicitous or
sympathetic monograph upon this blithe
master of English poetry. Mr.. Mitchell
dwells upon his bumor and gentleness, his
exquisite grace of touch and enchanting har-
monies of language, which win upon one
page by page and story by story. Following
and preceding Chaucer, we have group after
groud Of great names in literature, each
lightly sketched by the author, with delicate
touches, subtle distinctions and skilful
delineation, living portraits all. The clos
| ing paragraph of Mr.. Mitchell's book leads
us to hope for more in the same line of kings,
queens and poets.

and books for the children are coming in, in
abundance from the various publishing
houses. From Roberts Bros. we are always
sure of having much to delight the hearts
of the little folks. A pretty vnlnme in stiff
ar.~-xS, IS caleu The Kingdom of Coins
and is by Bradley Gilman. 1t is, "a tale for
children of all ages and has won
derful illustrations by Frank T..
Merrill. This story gives us much
information about many old and familiar
friends, and among them we recognize Mr..
Midas who conducts Master Tommy to the
Kingdom of Coins. There he finds Bad
Penny, Penny Wise, Pound Foolish; he sees
money making the mare go, and.he finds that
ill-fortune befalls the boys who can never
keep penny but spend it directly they get
it.
Another juvenile which will win the hearts
OF the boys and girls is "Just Sixteen" by
their favorite Susan Coolidge. The title of
Miss Woolsey's book means that it contains
just sixteen stories, and charmers they are

illustrations add to the value of the volume

fully appreciated by the youthful reader as
we'll as by those of us who are older.
Volume III of Lulu's Library by Louisa
M. Alcott makes us sigh to think that the
children have lost this good friend. But she
lives in the works that she has left behind
her. and in the hearts of thousands of little
readers to whom the Little Women and the
Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom and all the
rest are everything sources of delight Ii

work was success, ask the children. There
will be but one opinion, and who can Judge
