Judge Field has determined to stick to
the bench as long as this administration
lasts, at least Speaking to friends a
short time ago of the probability of an
other effort being made by the advocates
of the income tax to have that law de-
clared constitutional, Justice Field re-
marked that from the present outlook
Justice jackson would be the first to be
retired from the bench, and that because
of his age it looked as if he (Justice
Filed) would be the next to go. "But ]
will not leave the bench, he said, with
earnestness, ''if the Lord gives me life
and strength, SO long as the present adj
ministration is in power. The appoint
ment of successor to Justice jackson
cannot change the standing of the court
upon the income question, so that there
is no danger of the law being declared
constitutional through such means. A
judge appointed to succeed me might be
SO selected as to make sure that he viewed
the income tax law as a constitutional
measure. But, as 1 have said, if am
given life and strength I will remain on
the bench throughout this administration
to prevent such a result :"

NEW PUBLlC4TI ONs.

The Marriage of Esther By Guy
Boothby, author of con The Wallaby :"
ETC., tells the story of two men, English
men, who have fallen from better things
and whose descent has been so complete
as to land them in Australia, sans repu-
tation, money or chance to work. One
of these friends has clairvoyante faculties
and sees the psychic bond by which his
future is linked with that of his com
panion, whose special propensity by the
way, is that of lying and general dis
loyalty With Esther comes the heroine
into this story and new complications
arise 1t is well that the author has laid
the scene of his romance well outside the
common environment because nothing is
improbable in certain ATTITUDES and lon,

Women's Tragedies. By H. D. Lowry,
is collection of short stories, well writ
ten and strong in the handling and of a
somewhat eeric and gruesome character.
The sketch entitled ''The Man in the
ROOM especially deserves commenda-
ton If it make the blood run cold, at
least one must admire it's force as piece
of art. The 'sWidow's History shows
the deepest insight into the agony with
which women stand by the man they love
when he is victim to the drink habit,
in this case man of native fine qualities
however obscured by temptation. 1t is
study in heredity.
"The Christening" is the ever familiar
Enoch Arden tragedy in new guise and
very well done. fThere were some that

George was dead, if she had made up her
mind to put off Samson until she knew
for certain she was widow (some

most, ''that's thing that'n only be
known in the Day of Judgment; and
what good would certainty be to her then,
poor dear?"

The sudden awakening on the part
Of the South Carolina Bourbons to the
iniquity of the methods that have been
used in that state to cheat the negroes,
seems to be due in part to the discovery
that those same methods are just as avail
able for the cheating of the white men,
and in part to the desire to get the
negro vote to enable them to get back
into their own hands the control of the
state government The fact is that Till
man and his crowd cheated the Bour-
bons in much the same way that the
Bourbons tried to cheat the negroes; and
the only way to get the Tillmanites out
is to conciliate the negroes and give them
chance to vote and have their votes
counted. The present virtue of the
Bourbons is the product of political nee
essity largely.
