NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The American Journal Of Politics" for
August is the second number of new
magazine (NeW York. edited by Andrew
j. Palm. 1t starts well and impresses us
with the belief that there is a field for it
and that Mr.. Palm can make his journal
occupy it prohtably. This is a thinking
age, because it is q reading age. What
ever will enlarge public intelligence on
political questions is of conservative
tendency. Confusion seldom results from
calm and exhaustive debate. We like
the manner in which the new journal
takes up IFS task. The papers admitted to
1t are on various sides of vital questions,
and are by men who think. The
Journal is to remain non-partisan,
which is wise, and is to be
1orum of free debate The papers
