it?'' is the thing people want to know
when an important political question
comes up. The busy man especially feels
the need of journal that will give him

uniform fairness, extracts from the lead
ing newspapers of all parts of the coun-
try and OF all political shades. One such
journal is to be had.5 For example, when
every body was eager to know what the
press OF the country had to say about
President Cleveland's tariff letter, pub
lie Opinion" Washington, d. C.) gave
III the space OF four pages seventy-six
separate and distinct extracts from as
many prominent newspapers, North,
South, East and West. No other journal
furnishes its readers such comprehensive
Symposlums OF editorial comment on
current topics. The same issue of Pub
lie Opinion" contained twenty two pages
OF other matter, hundred extracts from
newspaper editorials, nearly twenty con-
densed magazine articles on the leading
topics OF the day, Congressional news,
condensed summaries of the general
news OF the week, American and foreign.
1t is one of our most valued exchanges
