strong appeal to Catholics and al. others to
make common cause for the preservation
of the public schools, as against all foreign
interference. 1t takes advanced grounds,
declares parochial schools not for the best
interests of Catholics, and that free schools,
free speech and free press must be MAIN
tanned, and holds that the Catholic Church
is assailing all these to the strengthening
of its secular power. The pamphlet is
from the Arnold Publishing Association,
Boston. From the same publishers we
have a pamphlet of some so pages, entitled
ssThe Two Sides of the School Question:, as
set forth by Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop
Keane on the one hand, and Z. d. Mead
and John Hay on the other. 1t is series
of papers read at the annual meeting OF the
National Educational Association at Nash
vile. The title fully discloses the char
acter of the debate. There are appended
review of the Pope's encyclical on schools
and several documents on the question
from official sources. All who feel an in
terest more than passing in the mainte-
nance of the free school system can profit
by reading this eighty-page book. 1t is
very thorough canvass of both sides of the
school question II the learned Catholic
doctors were not met and overcome by the
papers of Mead and Jay, then there never
was an affirmative beaten down. The pa
pers are ali marked by ability and research,
and the pamphlet is calculated to be OF
marked interest and value to those who
desire acquaintance with the strongest
arguments on both sides of this big dis
pute.
THE Pacific National Guardsmau'' is q

ter, Jr., & Co., of Sacramento and from
the press of Woodson Bros, Sacramento.
For an initial number May it does credit
to its printers. 1t is in clear, large type. is
loaded, easy to the eye, and upon good pa
per. The publishers have entered UPON
new and untried field in California, and for
that reason probably the initial number is
very general in tone in treating of the or
ganized militia. It's reasonable 10 expect
more vigor when foothold shall have
been obtained, and more critical spirit to
be manifested when the "Guardsman and
the organized militia become better &C.

The Annual Statistician and Economist
for 1890 has been issued by L. P McCarty,
its proprietor and publisher. We have so
frequently commended this valuable an
nual, and so often pointed out the excel
lences of the work, that really there is
nothing more to be said of il, except that
the issue for 1890 shows as has each sue
cessive number, improvement and enlarge
ment. New features appear, and not one of
them are without value. AS ready refer
ence book, and compact statistical work,
it is invaluable to business men, students,
Journalists, and indeed it will prove useful
and greatly helpful in any hands. Such
books find more and more of value as the
rush and push of the aga increases with

biographical and general statistical facts by
