With Introduction by r. Boyd Smith.

limo; pp. go.
This book, though translated from the
French. is by no means a typical French
novel. The scene Is laid In a pretty
Vaudois town. in one Of the cantons OF
Switzerland, and the social life It por-
trays is that Of the better class of a
Swiss town-the sober and church-going
and church-loving people In the commu-
nifty. The story revolyes around young
Protestant pastor, just embarking upon
his ministerial career. His experiences
and his people are not as attractive as
those which are dellneated in the win
some pages Of Ian MacLaren and
Barme," but the book Ia one which we
lay down with sincere regrets that the
pleasure Of it's perusal is ended.
The love which grows up between
the young bachelor pastor and
the wife Of one OF his congre-
cation has continental color
ing, which is not very consonant with our
Anglo-Saxon turn OF thought; but there
is a good deal of human nature in the
involuntary trend of the two congenial
hearts towards each other. in despite OF
earnest, conscientious effort 20 AVOID
even the semblance Of wrong doing.
The typography Of the book Is excep-
tionaliy good, and the few illustrations
are attractive and we'll executed.

first is that If any arbitration treaty
was ever under discussion it was laid
aside when Congress, by refusing that
$3.50, 600, temporarily invaidated the
Paris Boring sea commission award.
The second difficulty is the English
feeling that any action taken now
would appear to be due to American
threats. In reply to this it is quite
certain that neither President Cleve-
land nor Mr.. Olney consider them
selves to be threatening England.
They only desire. after years of fruit
less Diplomatic discussion. to make the
attitude of their own country clear be-
yond the chance Of further miSunder-
standing
If Lord Salisbury is aggTieved by
the expression of the American gov
eminent. the American government IN
its turn considered itself lesitimately
aggrieved by Lord Salisbury's tone and
his virtual pooh-poohing of doctrine
which they had formally declared they
regarded as vital to the national well
fare. Therefore. these sentiments bal
ance each other and there is every
ground for mutual agreement and as
surances that no offenSe was intended.
If Lord Salisbury IS able to move
automatically in the direction indi-
Gated, it is certain that the meeting of
the Venezuelan commission WOULD De
instantly adjourned until the time was
ripe for common discussion of the cues
ton when the treaty should become
law.
1 will add if it were my last word,
that it would be lamentable mistake
for England to believe there is any
division Of opinion worth considering
In this country. Washington, far more
than New York is the pulse of the
United States. and have been feeling
that pulse for over a week, and I as
sert. DESPITE criticism or contradiction,
that Americans will speak with prac-
tIcally one voice in support of the cab
met in the Venezuelan matter.
If Lord Salisbury decides that it is
impossible to take any step, let him
and England at least recognize what
is the alternative.
