myths. OF the twenty-one stories
comprising this collection, all but
two have been previously published
some of them more than once, and
in different forms. The two which
now appear for the first time, so far
as we are aware, are The Iron
Knife" and THE Sacred Spear
Point" The other nineteen have
been supplied with literary form
and substance, and published at
various times by Fernandez, Ellis,
Dibble, Jarves, Gibson, Alexander.
Mrs. Beckley and others.
Most of these, however, have been
entirely rewritten, and exceedingly
well rewritten too, so far as their
picturesqueness and readableness
goes. But, unfortunately, as 1t
seems to us, the writer has seen lit
to reconstruct the matter as well,
making, in many instances, such
changes, that however charming and
entertaining as stories OF savage
tropical life, they fail to repro
duce, in any true sense, the spirit or
the mental and moral atmosphere Of
the originals.
OF the general principles upon
which those myths and legends
have been reconstructed, Of the ma
ture Of the changes made, and of
the apparent purpose and intended
effect Of such changes, we do not
purpose speaking at present. Any
thing like a full consideration of
these matters would open up lines Of
thought and invite the discussion of
topics. which we cannot go into just
now. Taken, however, as whole,
and not regarded from the stand
point Of the scientific, or ethnolog-
ical critic, the book may be fairly
described as handsome, well written,
interesting, and to a considerable
extent, instructive.

FOREIGN CABLE COMMUgICATIoE.

Gable communication with the
outer world would not give every
man in these Islands the traditional
ten acres and a mule" but it is GER
tain that there is no one thing which
would put life into this country SO
much as daily cable communication
with the rest of the world. As it is
now, we are absolutely cut off for
three weeks at a time from all know
ledge of what is going on in the
world, and then the three weeks news
is crammed into three days, and an
other period of dead blank begins.
What kind of life is this for a
go-ahead community, in the last
quarter Of the nineteenth century,
to be leading7 1t is the life of the
slothful; of the man who sits still
and waits for somebody else to do
what he can just as well do for him
self IF you don't want a thing
done, get somebody else to do it. If
you want it done do it yourself is a
good maxim for us to consider in this
connection.
There is no question about what
we want. We want cable. What
have we done to get one? For a
good many years we sighed, and
hoped that Cyrus w. Field would
come to our rescue, and occasionally,
and sometimes semi-occasionally, a
mild futter Of excitement would be
caused by newspaper squib to the
effect that Mr.. Field was thinking
about it." Well, Mr.. Field has been
thinking about it, for the last thirty
years, and he will probably continue
to "think about it" as long as he is a
large stock holder in Atlantic cables,
the business of which would be in
terfered with by a trans-Pacifc
cable, and that is all the good it will
do US.
Several years ago we approached
the second stage of development on
the cable question. A Mr.. Audley
Coote, of Tasmania, appeared on the
scene. and stated that if this Gov
ernment would make contract with
him and guarantee a certain sub
sidy, a company was about to be
formed which would put cable
through from America to Australia !;
whereupon the Legislature passed a

answered the question. Then he said,
''Well | don't know. believe could
draw up one proof against statute law. L
doubt il anv one could make a trust
agreement that would stand against the
| common law principle that COmbina-
tions tending to enhance the price OF a
necessary commodity are obnoxious to
the peoples liberties, and, consequently,
unlawful. l don't see how the opera
ton OF that wholesome doctrine can be
evaded. The first overt act in further
ance OF a project to evade it is Grim

Il notice that to this phase OF the sub
ject Judge Barrett gave no attention"
''There was no occasion for him to do
that. He attended strictly to the busi-
ness before him, Just as he should have
done"
"Isn't it the District-Attorney's duty
to bring this whole subject before the
Grand jury"
'EIf were the District-Attorney 1
should think So"
Attention is also called to the fact
that the Judge who has for the first
time in America construed the law
on Trusts, declaring them a criminal
conspiracy, should also have con
strued for the first time the law on
boycotts, which he also condemns
upon precisely the same legal prin
ciples. Both he holds to be unlaw-
full combinations, because they tend
to ect.injuries to the public.
This question of trusts, syndicates,
combinations and monopolies is a
very large one. It is coming rapidly
to the front as one Of the two or
three great industrial and social
questions which the present gener-
alton viii have to meet. and deal
with. The legality of such aggrega-
tons Of capital and of productive
and distributive machinery as is
sought to be accomplished under the
trust organizations, or as may be at
tempted under other forms of organ
ization hereafter, is largely a techni-
cal question, and may be safely left,
for the present. to the lawyers and
the courts.
But 1t should be remembered that
the larger aspects Of the problem
will have to be discussed and settled
before another and quite a different
tribunal Before the high court of
public opinion, giving its decisions
at the ballot box, and providing
means for enforcing the same
through the machinery of appro-
pirate legislation, neither technical
tiles, nor precedents, nor quoted au-
thorities, nor fine drawn argumenta
ton, Will be of much avail.
This is a practical generation, and
demands practical results. Upon
the very practical issue Of what
seems best for the whole community.
and for the great majority of the il
dividuals composing it, this, as well /
as all similar questions, viii have to
be ultimately settled.
