MAGAZINE NOTICES.

The Cosmopolitan for December has ar
rived. 1t is number full of in
teresting articles, beautifully illustrated.
the opening article, The Passion play OF
Obei-Ammergau, by Elizabeth Bisland, is
written with that felictous style and grace
Of character that marked this lady's articles
on her trip around the world. Rear Admiral
Stevens contributes an interesting sketch of
The Cruise of the -anoma, during the Civil
war. Eliza Deidmore has an exhaustive
article on Teapots profusely adorned with
sketches OF odd designs, Arthur Sherwood
Hardy contributes his paper on the Army
OF Japan, James Grant Wilson's paper on
Field Marshal Won M0ltke will be read with
attention, and it presents:the old hero in
very strong light. Mr.. Pendlettn's Four-in-
Hand by Gertrude F. Anterior, and the Pur-
suit of the Martyrs by Rachael M. johnson
are the stories in this number. Two enjoy
able articles are Literary Boston by Lillian
whitney, and A Famous Fireplace BY Her
bert Pierson. Mrs. Elizabeth Akers's grace ul
ana charming imagery is noticeable in The
Birds OF Nazareth and there is other good
poetry. Messrs. Halstead and Hale's column
always furnishes food for thought.

The question of Home Rule for Ireland Is
likely to be in allegiance for some time to
come, while the Issue between the adherents
Of Mr.. Parnell and his opponents is fought
out before the Irish people. Parnell has
been formally deposed by majority of the
Nationalist members Of Parliament, but he
refuses to submit to their decision and in
tends to take the case to the Irish people.
Already his adherents in Ireland and
his opponents are getting ready for the fray.
Indeed In some places the fight has already
begun. Dublin has burned Hoaly, the lead
er OF the opposition, in effigy and kicked the
remains about the streets. The Catholic
church, on the other hand, has arrayed itself
In opposition to the deposed leader and the
Irish clergy are denouncing him from the
pulpit. Considering the impulsive tempera-
ment Of the Irish and their liking for scrim-
images it's not to be wondered at that the
coming contest is viewed with apprehension
by the friends of Ireland as likely to give
rise TO bloody encounters and a condition
closely bordering on civil war, Concerning
the ultimate result Of the struggle as regards
the two factions it is difficult to predict.
Parnell, Notwithstanding his recent per-
iormances, still retains evidently very
strong hold upon the people in some
sections Of Ireland. The resolutions
Oh the national leaguers at Dublin,
Cork and Limerick clearly show that.
On the other hand, as far as Irish parlia-
mentary leaders are concerned, all of them
OF much prominence are against him. The
minority who stood by him in SATURDAYS
conference are the feeblest and most obscure
OF the Irish members, Furthermore. the
Catholic clergy to a man are against him

ed, and If be wins 1t will be one of Tho NO..
notable personal trinmphs ever won hv NV
man.
But whatever the result the contest can.
not but be very disastrous to the cause Of
Home Rule. The faction that wins, no mat
ter which 1t be, will have only part Of tn
Irish people at its back, and its programm
will certainly be opposed by the other fac
Ton. With Irish sentiment in that condi
tlon 1t is highly probable that the Liberia
leaders, without whose active aid Hom'
Rule Is impossible. will simply step ONE
side and let the Irish shift for themselves
The Tory leaders are undoubtedly regarding
the situation with great complacency, Thei
contention has always been that the Irish
people were incapable of self government
and that the result Of the Home Rule expert
mept would be just such internal strifAs a.
this quarrel seems likely to precipitate

Ever since election our free-trade brothers

he remarked land we have large share of
the orders. There is spe cal activity among
the makers of cotton and wooden goods and
a number of Fall River, New Bedford, Paw
tucket. Lowell. Lawrence and New Hamp
shire companies are making improvements
in their steam plants and In some cases have
put in an entirely new battery of bCilers,
which OF course calls for new gauges and
valves. The Sturtevant Blower works are
running as fast as they can aud are far be-
hind their orders at that" In regard to the
cause the agent said. "The new tariff is the
cause Of our present activity. The additions
that are now building to plants and the new
mills that are building call for a largely in
creased supply Of blowers, and many com
panies that have hitherto done without
blowers are now putting them in" When
asked as to his foreign business, the agent
replied that it was never better. I'VE are
shipping large orders every day, and de-
tailed list of our contracts would fill every
column of your paper" Boiler makers,
makers of automatic sprinklers and
Thousand and one other branches of the ma
chinery business all reported as many orders
as they could fill. In discussing the facts
shown by this state of things the Bulletin
says. Certain 1t is that an immense amount
Of money is being placed by manufacturers
in machinery, which indicates their views as
to the future prosperity of the country. 1t
is possible but not probable that free trade
editors know more about manufacturing than
the manufacturers do themselves. The
threatened ruin has overtaken some of the
importers but the manufacturers thus far
seem to be safe.

The daily orations which the Democratic
Senators are delivering against the elections
bill don't appear to be exciting the country
very much. And yet If what these gentle

nights fearing for its liberties. Evidently
the country thoroughly understands Demo-
cratic rhetoric and makes liberal discount
on Democratic predictions.

or course ii would be very pleasing to the
farmer to borrow money of the government
at two per cent per annum. Ii he could do
that he could soon retire from farming and
go into the banking business. The money
he borrowed at 2 per cent. he could lend at
per cent. and perhaps at 10. thus netting
four or six per cent. upon his loan, But
such an arrangement would be quite as
pleasing to the mechanic as to the farmer.
The lawyer and the doctor would like TO try
1t too. Indeed the arrangement would soon
become so popular that everybody would
want to be counted into it. When every
body got into 1t. however, the chance to loan
money borrowed of the government at two
per cent. for six or ten would be gone. 1t is
not surprising then that the Farmers Ali
ance should want the loaning of money by
the government at 2 per cent. per annum
confined strictly TO the farmers.

The Railroad Bridge Across Red

This has been much mooted qnes-

be interested in it, and torssthat reason
we append the following literature in
reference thereto:

Hon. Thos. Crawley, Mayor. City of Alex.

SIR-You are hereby notified that
board of engineer officers has heen
constituted by the Secretary Of War
to consider and report upon the loca
ton and plan for bridge across the
Red river, near Alexandria, La, pro-
posed by the Houston, Central Ar
kansas and Northern Railway Go.
The Board will meet at Alexandria,
La, at ~ M, on December Is, 1890,
when a public hearing will be given
all interested in the location Of the
bridge. Respectfully,
A. NJ. MILLER,
Major Corps of Engineers.
The following letter also on the
subject is sent by Assistant Secretary
of War Grant to Congressman Blan-
chard:
"SIR-There are so many different
representations by way of petition and
protest for and against the location OF
the railroad bridge at Upper Falls,
near Alexandria, that it is deemed in
expedient tor the department to ap-
prove of the location according to the
plans of bridge without further inves.
tigation. A Board of Engineers will
meet at Alexandria at the earliest
practicable moment, for the purpose Of
taking the whole matter into conside
ration and then report.
The petition and circumstances re-
ceived will be referred to this Board
and it is respectfully suggested thai
any further suggestions or representa-
tons the river men may desire tt
make shall be made to this Boarc
during its session, of which notice viii
he published. 1t is further suggested
that rhose who object to present loca
ton in addition thereto should poin
out better one and reasons therefor.
