The CENTURYsFoR FEBRUARY
The most timely article in the Centu-
ry is the one written by Mr.. C. G.
Buel, assistant editor of the magazine,
which records the results of person
al Investigation by him, in behalf Of
the readers of The Century, into the
history, methods, and designs of a just
now notorious institution. The title
of the paper is 1.-THE Degradation ola
State; or, the Charitable Career of the
Louisiana Lottery" MIR. Buel goes
back to the time when the lottery in
terests of the country were conferred
in New York City, and shows that
the louisiana Lottery was established
for the benefit of New York gamblers
and lottery dealers. The famous
/" Bella, !" by Titan, enlarged from
the original by I. Cole, furnishes the
frontispiece of the number Of The Cen
tluy, and calls attention anew to the
fact that the Cole pictures are now at
their most interesting point having
reached the most splendid period of
italian art. American art is interest
ingly represented by full page en-
craving of Brush's Killing the
Moose. +"
All the articles and departments
are brimful of interest. A recital of
the good things would only vex the
student and intelligent reader. All
such must have the Century.

promptly to hand with an exceeding
ly varied and entertaining list of con.

all classes of young people. And tho

Maria Mcintosh Cox is giving us in
her serial "Jack Brerton's Three
Months Service -? While the young
people reads it with growing interest
and imbibe lessons in honor, manli-
ness and devotion to duty from its
stirring incidents, and we of the ell.

dramatic scenes of 1861 which it por-
trays, when homes were rent and anx-
ious hearts were over strained by the
news from the front and the terrible
disappointment of Bull Run. The
story appeals to all. So, too, though
in different way, does the Arabian
story of pluck and endurance, "The
Lance of Kanana, thrill its readers
month by month. The camel race ov.

ST. NICHOLAS FOR FEBRUARY
AS one looks over the pages of the
February 50. Nicholas. at every nom.
ent the eye is attracted by some bright
thought in text or drawing. At the
very front door comes ]. H. Dolph's
clever dog and cat picture, showing a
plump puppy evidently fed TO reple-
ton graeiously conserving to the dis
posal of his dinner by his friends the
kittens.
Then their is the picture of Sir JEFF.
frey Hudson, the dwarf of eighteen
inches statute, who figures so promi-
nently in the history of the times of
Henrietta Maria Of England. How
he was vanished by turkey-cock,
and how in turn he overcame on op.
ponent in a serious duel /; how he was
teased by the Kings giant, and how
he was captured by pirates lis told in
the text of the first of these articles on
Historic Dwarfs " so carefully pre-
pared by Mary Shears Roberts.
Turning over more pages, we see a
scientific. looking diagram that seems
more fitted to the columns of grave
treatise than of a child's magazine.
But we discover that it is "A record
of Master Harry's Up and Downs"
his variations in cheerfulness during
an absence of his mother from home ;
and then we wonder why set of sim
liar charts would not serve as a re-
cord of department, scholarship, or
what not, to spur to diligence or re-
prove from sloth family of children.
1t is another idea for which we have
to thank the good 50. Nicholas. Our
minds are diverted from these thougts
by Mr.. Taber's spirited drawing show.

we eagerly read of The Battle on

Duke of Alva commanded his Span

they might meet the Dutch upon

must have been for the unhappy
Spaniards How the children of a
quarter of a century ago would have
reveled in such magazine No doubt
they enjoy it to-day, but their palates
must be somewhat cloyed, for, like
the princes and princesses of the fairy
tales, children are now fed on sweet
meats daily.

A Landmark in Periodical Litera-
ture.

With the number for February, The
Forum completes its twelfth volume, I'M
der conditions which made what may be
fairly called q landmark in American
literature. The dominant idea in the es-
adjustment Of The Forum was to create
vehicle for the discussion of the great
problems that press for solution in the
United States. 1t is literally true that
the most rapid progress that has ever
been made by the human race has been
made by the people of the United States
within the lifetime of the present gener-
alton. There is evidence of this in
the present generation. The continued
growth alike of the great Western cities,
our constantly increasing commerce and
manufactures, the new development of
the Southern States, the accumulation of
wealth and the continued decrease
IN the rate of interest-all these things,
as well as the prodigious movement
which expresses itself by a continual in
creaslng patronage of our oldest institu-
buttons of learning and in the founding
of new institutions alike in the East and
IN the West, indicate that the most i'm
portant industrial and social epoch per-
haps in the whole history of civilization
Is the epoch in which welive A broad
view of American progress during recent
years brings home to every thoughtful
student the conviction that we are living
IN a time richer both in results and in
promise. in interesting subjects for in
vestigation and for public discussion.

INDICATING THE ORDER OF CAM
PAIGN.

If coming events cast their shadows
before in politics. the State and National
campaigns promise to be made up large
~ of falsehood and personal abuse by
the Democratic press. Party support
and defense are perfectly right and pro-
pei, but in everything that concerns Har-
rison, Blaine or the Republican party the
Democratic opposition stoops to misre-
presentation and strife. In the affair
with Chilli the English press and the
Democratic press were on par as against
any honor or credit in favor of this gov
eminent. When Chill was brought to
terms. and MIR. Egan vindicated. the des
peration of the opposition attacked Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Harrison IN their person
al and official relations, and tried By
every undetermined means to break
down the prestige which the govern
ments management had won for Amer
lea in international affairs. The Ameri
can people see the difference between
Blaine's craftsmanship and former poll
cies. This country never stood higher
and stronger before the world. The
Irish people should see too how Mr.
Egan s treatment reflects upon them
Anything but an Irshman and a Repub
lican would have satisfied English and
American aristocracy. The Democrat
need have no fear of Mr.. Harrison and
MIR. Blaine. They are working together
for their country's interests. leaving
their own in the hands of the American
people. Their conduct and their records
are based on the performance of theil
duties. Results show fol themselves.
English jealousy and Democratic calum-
ny are the best proof the American PEG
pie could want of the success of the
Republican administration.
Compare Mills free trade policy with
McKinleys American protective tariff
legislation.
Compare Cleveland S foreign policy
English flatteryl with Harrison S vigor.
GUS craftsmanship.
Compare Hill and Cleveland's before

Harrison and Blaines attend to. their

In this State the faithful discharge OF
duty by the revenue officers excites the
hatred of the Democratic papers and they
get up long article about the course OF
Deputy Collectors in arresting limo
cent moonshiners. The prisoners con
fessed their guilt themselves, and Dem.
ocratic papers like the Hampshire Co.
Rerier expose the malice and shame and
falsehood of the attacks. Proof being

pers abuse and SANDER you.
Don't do your duty and pander to
Democratic interests an associa items
like too many socalled Republicans do.
and you are good fellow, a gentleman
and scholar, but come out for Office
and you are the biggest rascal they ever
saw.
Take your choice.
But take your hide to the same mar
ket that you take your meat.
There are fair, conservative Democrats
who will vote for good men and good
measures regardless of party, but they
ask no sacrifice Of manhood or principle
in return, and do not approve of all theii
party does or their leaders say.
