In the language of the New York

such an offer has never been equaled

these lots are in "TimsSvills," situated

and $500 feet above the city OF Chat
tansoga, on the line of the Chattanoo-
go and Waldsn's Ridge railroad. There
is no more beautiful, picturesque or
heathful spot in all the south. Kew
this gigantic offer can be made We do
not know, but when the Times says it
will give away 1000 beautiful lots, ab-
solutely free, Its reputation assures us
that it will do just as it says. Every
one who sends 81 for years subscrip-
ton to the paper receives q numbered

he Intended them to be, but what he himself
declares in his statement that his remedy
will accomplish it is safe to assume he de.
clares upon the strength of actual experi-
ments which to his mind have been conclu.
sive. By careful examination of that state.
ment 1t will appear that he claims much less
than do some Of the professors who have
assisted him in his experiments. He does
not proclaim that 1t will cure consumption in
It's advanced stages. The most he asserts is
that II applied in the early stages of con-
sumption the disease can be arrested, and in
the more advanced stages some improve
ment may result which may or
may not be permanent be realized.
Much more has been claimed for
the remedy than its inventor claims.
That excess may or may not be justified by
future developments. But what the Profess
sor claims for it it is safe to assume he claims
on the strength Of experiments actually
made So that 1t seems fairly safe to con-
c.ude that there has really been
discovered a remedy which promises
to be of great value in tubercular

Mr.. Parnell will probably find himself
compelled to retire from public life; and he
will be fortunate If he does not fall COM
pIetely out of sight as has that brilliant, in
tellectual light of the Radical.Liberal party,
Sir Charles Dixie, who retired under SINH
lar cloud. An English nobleman may be no.
toriously and flagrantly immoral, and yet
remain in public life to the extent that he
may sit and deliberate aud vote in the House
OF Lords, where his seat Is hereditary as are
his estates. But 1t may be doubted whe.h-
or his influence would amount 20 much. 1t
Is true that in another generation Lord
Nelson stood up under discredit similar to
that which has overtaken Mr.. Parnell; but
Lord Nelson was the hero of Trafalgar, and
he lived in another generation. The people
to whom Mr.. Parnell has appealed in behalf
Of the rights of Ireland. and from whom the
people of Ireland must expect the most, are
the middle and non. confornist classes of
England, classes which had less influence
In public affairs in the days of Lord Nelson.
The middle and non-conformist classes in
England are not tolerant of Immortality in
their public men, as the absolute retirement
OF Sir Charles Dixie abundantly proves.
Nothing in politics, or in any other sphere
of human activity, where men may win lau-
rels by earnest and dsinterested action, is
sadder than this eclipse of tie fame of Mr.
Parnell. He has been the consummate lead
or Of one Of the greatest and most successful
agitations in history and his friends seemed
justified in expecting that his would be the
most honored name in the whole catalogue
of Irish patriots

The fourishing condition of the French
Canadian race in the Province of Quebec has
for long time constituted serious problem
for the statesmen of Canada. The French
will not mingle with the Protestant English,
they are as Jealous as they are exclusive,
they still cherish sentimental regard for
their mother country, France, and. to add
80 1t all, they go on multiplying to an aston
ishing extent. Some nervous people in New
England have even worried lest the overflow
OF Quebec should gallicise Maine and Yer
mont Itnow seems that the arts Of the local
statesmen Of Quebec have been applied to
stimulate the already surprising fecundity of
the race. During the last session of the
Quebec Legislature a bill was introduced
providing that every father Of twelve or
more living children should receive a grant
of 100 acres for each child above that nun Der.
The bill was passed without any difficulty,
the members evidently believing that only
comparatively small number would come
under the act. But even the Quebec Legis-
lature did not understand the possibilities of
the French Canadian race. There have al
ready been thousand and nine applications
for the bounty. or thousand and two If
seven from the United States are deducted.
These seven United States applications, by
way, represent a total of s. children. The
largest family is that of John Hope of Vau-
dreuil, who claims to have % children living.
From Montreal comes the application of
Edward Millette with IA children, who
would appear to constitute the largest family
In that city. Among the applicants are 4
with IS children each, with IT, with 16,
az with 10, 45 with IA. and 27 with 10 each.
The applicants are almost entirely French
Canadian. 1t must be remembered that this
Is only the first year Of the operation of the
bounty. 1t is doubtful il in SO short time
the news of it has been thoroughly promul-
gated; and hence there are probably many
families entitled to the bounty that have not
claimed it. What the future operation Of
this extraordinary bounty may be can bt
only matter of conjecture. If there il
enough land at the disposal of the Quebec
government, the French Canadian race may
yet dominate from Moose River to Biddeford.

Millionaires of Day. An inside history
OF the great Southern California "Boom," by
T. S. Van Dyke. A curious phase of Ameri-
can civilization is here described with much
vivacity and no slight realistic and graphic
power. The writer of this unpretentious,
but very entertaining, sketch knows his
ground and takes the reader over it thor
oughly and to good effect, "The General"
"the Colonel" and ''the Major" are done to
the life. The out and out Southern Califor-
nian can stand good deal and not lose his
loyalty. You may burst booms and steep
the environment in disaster, but you cannot,
once won, move him in his love for every
inch of ground that the peerless Western sun
shines so lovingly upon. New York: Fords,

The Corrupt Practices Act, which IVES

than three months Imprisonment upon candi-
dates who do not file within specified time
statement of their election expenditures.
District Attorney Fellows construes the
word candidate to include any person who
was voted for, and threatens to prosecute
every one who received vote and has mot
filed statement of his expenditure. The
law intended undoubtedly to REQUIRE state
ments of expenditures only from men who
were formally nominated, and any attempt
to put broader meaning upon it is simply
Tor the purpose of discrediting the law. 1t is
absurd to suppose that the law was ever in.

Friend Olivia by Amelia E. Barr, has been
running in the Century and now appears in
hook form. We have the opinion, not only
of the publishers that this is ''the most i'm.
portant of Mrs. Bars recent stories" but of
many readers of this favorite author. The
story is of the time of Cromwell-the excit.
ing period of the Lord Protectors reign-and
is fittingly dedicated to the Society of Friends
in America. 1t is more full, satisfactory and
finished as a literary production, than per-
haps any of its predecessors, and possible
heayiness as a semi-historical romance is
done away with by the charming love story
and by the color and freshness that pervade
its every page and chapter. The novel
reader has delight in store, in Friend
Olivia. (New York: Dodd, Mead and Co. !;
