OF Suffrage in the United States," is q
neat volume, small, compact and cheap,
by Talieson Evans. 2l2 Fourth street,
Oakland. 1t is issued from the Oakland
Tribune press. We have had occasion to
cali this book into practical use, and have
found it to be a reliable, well-compiled
and edited digest of laws and decisions
relating To matters referred to in the
title. 1t Is very desirable work, one
that puts within the reach of all COM
plete exposition of all legislation by the
United States or by States, and of all de-
cisions by courts relating TO the suffrage
or to citizenship. Reading the work
sheds light upon the weakness as well as
the strength of our political system.
Leading cases are analysed and clearly
exposed in all their details, not for the
lawyer especially, but for the layman.
The Boyd case in Nebraska, for instance.
is very clearly stated. and the decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United States
succincty set out. All the laws and
constitutional provisions of all the States
relative TO the suffrage and citizenship
are given with notes of judicial rulings
and the editors comments. 1t gives us
also the Federal Constitution in full. Ii
is, in short, valuable, timely and serv-
iceable little volume and "brief-book.'
1.-TWO Tales" is Saturday pamphlet,
at 10 cents a week or 81 year, by the
Two Tales Publishing Company, of 8
Beacon street, Boston. The several num-
bers we have received we have exam
ined with care, and have been led to read
them all by the interest the examination
aroused. The scheme of the publishers
IS to present each week two complete
novelties or stories by leading authors
of the time. We like it; it gives To read
ers crisp, bright, short stories from ac-
compllshed pens, in form that is con-
venient for binding, and thus enables one
To collect a large number of short stories
of excellent timber fit to put into any
hands to entertain in restful hours. Such
writers as Mrs. Burton Harrison, viii
Allen Drumgoole Whose Heart of Old
Hickory" is one of the finest compositions
in the English language, Maurice
Thompson and Frances A. Doughty con-
tribute the stories. 1.-TWO Tales is, in
short, most pleasing and creditable
periodical. 1t is clean, good and elevat-
ing, and trash is evidently to be always
excluded from it.

book: THE boldness of the position
which the writer of this little book takes.
at the outset, leads the reader to expect
conclusions widely at variance with those
which the popular Christology teaches.
But, as one lays down the book, its deep
reverence for the Christ-sacritice; its fun
acceptance of the divinity of the Master;
its plea for higher conception of the
Fathers love, ali leave the conviction
that this is the most orthodox heterodoxy
that has issued from the press for long
