The June Century opens with an
other article by Albert Shaw, whose
paper on Glasgow recently attract
ed so much attention. This time Mr..
Shaw treats of London POlytechnics
and Peoples Palaces, )" a subject which
is particularly timely, as similar insti-
tutions are springing up in different
parts of the world. The frontispiece
Is portrait of Walter Besant, author
of "All Sorts and Conditions of Men. "
Perhaps the most striking feature of
this number is the beginning of an
anonymous novel called "The,,Anglo-
maniacs." The scene is laid i'm New
York, and the story is evidently writ
en- by one who knows well the situa-
tons. An extremely timely paper is
Edward Atkinson's ON Comparative
Taxation" which will be found to
bear directly upon current discussions
of tariff revision. The fiction in this
number, besides "The Anglomaniacs"
consists of the eighth installment of
Mrs. Bars "Friend olivia and Illus
trated short stories by Arlo Bates and
Octave hanet.
Scribner's Magazine for June is a
Stanley number, containing the only
article which he will contribute to any
periodical, and the first authoritative
word from him on many of the most
important features of this great expe-
dition for the relief of Emin Pasha.
This article fills thirty-two pages of
the issue, and is the most Crap hic and
and exciting narrative from first to
last. 1t opens with solemn acknow-
ledgment of Stanley's belief in Gods
help to him when he was helpless in
the forest solitudes of Africa. 81 feel
utterly unable" he says, "to attribute
our salvation to any other cause than
to a gracious Providence, who, for
some purpose of His own, preserved
u.s." Stanley reviews the work of his,
and plainly but charitably criticises
the conduct of the Rear Guard. He
explains fully Emin Pasha's attitude,
and speaks vigorously on the whole
question of slavery in Africa and its
extirpation. The larger part of the
article is a detailed account of the
wonderful journey through the forest
in search of food, and the relief of Mel
sons starvation camp.
In the Forum for June is begun a
series of photographic articles by
and America, pointing out the chief
formative influences on their education
and careers. The first of these is by
w. f. H. Lecky, the author of "The
History of the spirit of Rationalism in
Europe" 1t is one of the few contri-
buttons that this eminent historian |
has ever made to periodical literature
and the first to an American periodi- |
cal. He reviews the development of |

the generation just passing off the
stage.

and timely article is that ON "Crimin-
II Politics." by +. l.. Godkin, the edi-
tor of the New York Erenmg Post.
He describes the genesis of Tammany
Hall and its methods of acquiring and
power i'm New York, and al

passage of the Mckinley tariff bill by

special interest to an article on the
Value of Protection" by the Hon.
