that the answer would be In Secretary

out even setting time for his return,
leaving Congress and the country to

not have been afraid to face the music

people who believe lie is, and that he
went away hoping that Con gress would
take the bit in its teeth, demand the
correspondence of Secretary Olney,
and dictate reply to Lord Salisbury

That may be putting the case a little
too strong, but there can be no doubt
that Mr.. Cleveland's absence at this

Prof. Lombroso Has High Praise for

In the present book he has the great
crit Of combating certain dominant

after days, thanks to certain errant
geniuses, has led astray vast throng
OF talents In this book, too, he is ever
the man of our century who has most
felt the pulse Of his times: and he has
not only put his finger on our most
open wound on that egotism which is
sterilizing our moral sense and render
ing us. cruel to one another but he
also has succeeded in finding its ex-
pianation in the special tendencies Of
the degenerate; whether it be the high
er-elass degenerate who invents the
strangest freaks to. catch the public eye
--as weddings in a balloon, or Cardinal
Layigerie's crusades or the initiative

with that audacity, intrepid even to in.

thus he has been able to overthrow the

Just is his diagnosis of them; that they
