The MAY number of The Forum continues
the analysis of the present interesting and
peculiar political situation with two articles
on "a " ear of Democratic Administration"
one by Ex-Governor Russell, of Massaehu-
sets, from the Democratic point of view; and
the other from the Republican point of view,
by Senator CuIlom, of Illinois. These two ar
ticles, read in connection with the article in
the April number by can Independent"
makes as thorough review OF the present
situation and tendencies as could, perhaps,
anywhere be presented. In this number The
Forum continues the discussion OF CutIehI
Plans for Reforming society,"" ana at TINS
time the subject taken up is the demand for
State aid for the unemployed. Dr.. stanton
Colt, perhaps the most eloquent and enthu-
siastic practical worker for the alienation of
poverty in the whole country, argues for the
Necessity of State ala whereas Mr.. ID. Nc
omist of New York, presents arguments to
show the dangerous absurdity OF this policy.
These articles form very able discussion OF
the subject which in one form or another pre-
sents Itself in every part of the United States,
viz, What can the state do, ana should II 90

temporary French paintings, Dagnan BouYe-

thought, the first article on him which has APP
peared in the magazines. The accompanying
Illustrations show substantial grounds for
Dagnan's popularity. The frOntispiece of the
number is an engraving by Henry wolf OF

Worlds fair. Other examples reproduced
are tThe Pardon, ,, "HOrses at the Watering
Trough, /" 1.-THE Conscripts" "The Consecrat-
ed Bread" "The Blessing vaccination"

seven are owned in America. In the series OF

Of much deiieacy, with figures and cattle. An
other branch of the designers art is treated
