In these days when biblical criticism
is becoming almost general, and when
the most accomplished scholars differ
as to the inspiration OF certain portions
OF the Scriptures, "Bible Studies" q
compilation OF Old Testament readings
with familiar comment by the late Rev.,
Henry Weird Beecher, makes a timely
and welcome appearance. These lee
lures on the Old Testament books were
delivered by the Plymouth church
preacher on Sunday evenings during the
autumn, winter and spring Of 1880,
and have never before appeared in
print. Tho volume OF over 400 pages is
preiaced with two newly published ser.
mons 1.-The Inspiration of the Bible"
and "How to Read the Bible" which
may serve as lamp to guide the feet Of
those who are in painful doubt in an
age that seems to run to doubt more
than faith. The volume is published
by Fords, Howard & Hubert, New York.

"The American Siberia" is the rather
startling title Of a work by ]. o. Powell
And what is mora startling still the
habitation is in tropical Florida. But
when the suggestive title deals with .
convict mining camp the mind Is well
prepared to take in o recital OF horrors
aud distress comparable With the RUS
sian exiles in Siberian mlnes. Tho
author is competent to deal with bis
subject from the fact that he was for
fourteen years in charge OF convict
camp. Being an advocate Of the con.
Wet lease system he cannot be accused
Of exaggeration, and therefore what he
says ought to carry weight. In this
work Remnants sketches OF exile life in
Siberia have counterpart In the cruel.
ties Of Florida prison life. The convict
lease system is one OF the problems Of
the present day, and the perusal OF
Captain Powell's narrative will throw q
good deal OF light on q subject which Is

Since the days Of Captain Marryatt no
more entertaining sea tale than 1.-THE
Wreck Of the Grosyonor," by w. Clark
Russell, has been written. The author
has seen the sea and sailed the sea and
gives his readers the benefit OF q rich
experience and vivid Imagination. He
paints some beautiful pictures, which
he colors with such an artistic pen that
they seem to stand out in bold relief on
canvas. The story IL Of thrilling inter
est, and woven into the tragic and de-
scriptive elements is q love episode
which has tho charm Of peculiar sltuG-
tions which developed the passion be-
tween the hero and the heroine. The
mutiny and the causes which led to 1t,
and the subsequent wreck show the
purpose the author had in view when he
undertook his task, namely: to denounce
the practice OF conscienceless ship own
ers who not only send rotten hulks to
sea, but provision them with rotten
food. The book is from the press Of
Lowell, Coryell & Co., New York.

Treatment Of Him.
The indications are that Charles Fos<
ter, secretary of the treasury. has lost
his pull in Ohio politics, as well a.
with the president.
Foster once was a power in POLITICAL
affairs in his state, but his day has
passed. Once he could be elected to
congress in nearly any district the
democrats. when they had the gerry
Wandering power, could fix up for him.
He was one Of the first nrtful and sue
ccssful political ''boodlers" ia Buck
eyedom. But in the last ten years doz-
ems Of men nave appeared on the scene
who outclassed him.
1t is said by those on the inside at
Washington that Mr.. Foster feels deep
ly what is termed the presidents shah
by treatment Of him now. In the ar-
pointment Of a successor to Assistant
Secretary Nettleton. the chiefs treat
ment Of the secretary Is said TO have
been humiliating.
1t is the talk among Fosters friends
in Ohio that were it not for the scandal
it would cause in the closing weeks OF
the administration. he would resign.
On the other hand it is asserted that
the same reason is all that prevents the
president from asking him to retire.
The statement that Senator Sherman
intended rcsigning his seat and allow
ing Foster to succeed him is bosh. Cir

present legislature under which Foster
could be elected. boston Globe.

THE WHOLE TRUTH.

Facts Which Republicans do Not 0ivo IN
Full.
The republicans are constantly boast
ing that they have given us q free
breakfast table. The only things on a
breakfast table that are free dfe tea
and coffee.
Sugar is taxed. and the tax and the
bounty combined tax the people an
nually about S25. 00O. 900. The Kansas
City Journal says:
about $500. 600 will be paid ont in sugar
bountics this year. which is "a. ooo. 900 less than
the people wolld have 10 pay IL the duties were
restored on sugar"
The bounty is now over 80. 900. 600.
Raw sugar is free, but refined sugar Is
taxed ut half a rem n pound, and this
duty is a subsidy to the sugar trust
amounting to about $40, 000, 600.
To tax refined sugar and raw sugar
alike Mt half u cen o pound and repeal
the sugar bounty would make . diff
ference OF SIS. O00, 900 annually In the
public revenues and would not incrcass
the price Of sugar to the consumer.
The fact that the sugar trust has
free raw material, and the further fnct
that It has a protective duty of half .
cent on It's product are carefully con.
cealed by the republican journals
which ARE constantly Boosting Of . free
breakfast table. II Is well to give the
whole truth when we talk about such
matters, and the truth is that sugar
onsume are taxed SIS, O0O, 900. Of
which one.third goes to American sugar
nlantcrs and two.thirds to the sugar
trust.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
