MAGAZINE NOTICES.

On some accounts the most important
feature of the American Monthly Review
of Reviews for November is an illustrated
article entitled 'From the Lakes to the
Sea- by Carl Snyder. Mr.. Snyder de-
scribes the various inventions which have
made feasible, through cheapened methods
of construction, great ship canal con-
necting the Great Lakes with the ATTAIN
tic Ocean. 1t would appear from the
figures and estimates set forth in MIR.
Snyder's article that the Chicago Drain
age Canal has been fruitful obJect-les-
son to engineers It1shows how cheaply
and rapidly canal construction can go on
with the new devices for cutting and
dredging.
Gunton's Magazine for November has
the following contents: Reform in
Municipal Government, by Hon. W. L,
Strong, Mayor of New York; The Henry
George Candidacy, Causes of Enforced
Idleness, A Letter from Kansas. Henry c..

The Arena for November brings great
array of valuable contributions. The
frontispiece is striking portrait of the
popular Governor John r. Rogers of
Washington. The Governors article,
Freedom and it's opportunities sets. forth
in strong and logical manner the bottom
conditions of freedom, the menaces there
to, and the sublime opportunities which
freedom brings to people. Giffen's book,
The Case Against Bimetalism, has never
been more severely answered
than by Judge George H. Smith,
Elihu f. Barker strongly sets
forth the advantages of a more direct and
popular system of legislation in his arti-
Gle, The Initiative and the referendum.

There is unusual variety of exception

The American cotton manufacturers
had recent meeting in Philadelphia and
q paper was read which contained some
interesting sketches touching the cotton
trade of the world. Four countries ap-
pear, to have monopoly of this industry
about as follows: Great Britain, S33s,
sal, ooo; Germany, SAT, 600; France,
$27, 1857, 600; United States, $l9, $40, 600.
Something like " per cent of cotton
goods purchased in the worlds market is
spun and woven in Great Britain, where
not pound of the raw cotton can be
raised, while the United States, the
home of the raw material supplies less
than five per cent of the manufactured
product. There is food for thought in all
this, and basis for a hope that a new
order of things may take the place of the
old.

The story which we publish this morn
ing Of the recent sickness in the town of
Brunswick illustrates the great danger
that turks in contaminated water, and
should serve to impress upon managers
of water companies the need OF extreme
cara on their part. Luckily in this case
the sickness WAS not as rule very seri-
GUS, but had typhoid fever or any other
disease that is propagated by germs taken
into the stomach, been prevalent, no
doubt it would have been spread through
out the town. The blame in this case
seems to belong to no one person. but is
to be divided among several. Some sort
of o notification was attempted
to be made to the people
that change of water supply had been
made owing to an accident, but it was far
from being as general and complete as it
ought to have been. Undoubtedly the
pumping of the Androscoggin water into
the pipes was perfectly justidable because
without it the town would have been put
in jeopardy from fire, but general noti-
fication ought to have been sent out that
the water was unsafe for drinking pur-
poses The fact probably was that none of
the parties upon whom responsibility
reseted was sufficiently alive to the danger.
With the experience that they have now
had there will probably no more mistakes
of this sort made in this particular town,
but the inhabitants of other towns should
heed the lesson and not wait to learn
the danger of polluted water from costly
and painful experience.

Gen. Sickles, who was once Minister to
Spain, agrees with ex.Minister Taylor
that the only way to stop the Cuban war
is for the United States to intervene.
But first and foremost the question to be
settled is, Does any obligation rest upon
the United States to stop the war?
Those who think, or profess to
think, that there is such an OBJ
legation generally rest it on the ground
of humanity, If that ground is sound
then our duty is not discharged wholly
by stopping the present war. On the
contrary if Spain withdraws from the
island, it will be our duty to see that the
new regime is not guilty of inhumanity.
In short the humanity ground will obli-
gate us not only to stop the present war,
but to stop all future wars that may
break out in the island, for all wars are
inhuman. The logical outcome of the
humanity argument is either annexation
of the island to the United States, or a
protectorate over it, with practical
guarantee that when the Inhabitants
thereof fall to cutting one another
Threats, practice to which the people to
the south of us are very prone, we
must interfere and stop it. Furthermore,
the humanity argument can with per-
fectly sound logic, be extended sufficient
ly to make it our duty to compel all the
nations to the south of us to keep the
peace and behave themselves.

Signor Bodio, the Director General of
the italian Statistical Bureau, has just
published, and for the first time. the
complete statistics of losses in life and
property caused by the Franco German
war. According to the figures as con-
densed by the New York Nation these
were the results:
France lost 1876, 900 men, of whom so, 900
were either killed or died of wounds re-
ceived in battle, $4,000 died of diseases in
France, and 10000 died as prisoners of
war in Germany. There were also AZ, 400
men rendered unfit for service during the
war-namely: i38, 900 by wounds in bat
tie. IL 400 by wounds ana other injuries
on the march, and 1923, 900 by disease, pri-
Walton, exposure and similar causes. The
losses of the Germans. as compiled by
Bodio from official and thoroughly au
thentic reports, were II, 255 men killed in
battle, and 81 ,023 deceased in ambulanoes
and hospitals, making total loss of
3S, 27S by death. The loss of the French
was herefore..97. 1872 more than that of the
Germans. The losses of France in money,
30 far as they can be estimated, were 2, 1877
millions of francs for military expendi-
ture, 5, TAB millions for war indemnity,
1856 millions for loans and premiums,
207 millions for public works necessitated
by war, sos millions for compensation to
private individuals, a,034 millions for
losses incurred by the state through d.
minution of revenue, etc., and POS mil
lions for losses incurred by the oommunes
and reimbursed by the state making a
sum total of 1896 millions of francs.
This amount does not include the meal
culable damage done to agriculture, COM
meroe and the various branches OF indus
try and the permanent loss of revenue
from Alsace and Lorraine.
War costs mcrey, not less than lives,
a fact which France especially found out,
to her great grief.

There is only one State in which the
Silver Democrats can fAirly be said to
have won victory in the recent cleo
tions, and that is the State of Kentucky
In New York the silver issue was kept
entirely in the background and did not
figure in the result. II it figured in Ohio
it WAS badly beaten, for the Republican
majority in that State was exceptionally
large for an of year. In Iowa, where it
is said to have figured to considerable
extent, the Republicans got larger ma
jority than they have received for great
many years in an off year. In KANSAS
the Republican vote increased over last
year, and with all of Bryan's influence
the silver majority in Nebraska was
hardly kept up to last years. In. Ken.
lucky, however, there seems to have been
a pretty straight fight on the silver ques-
ton, with the result that Silver Demo-
GRAFT was elected governor by a oonsidera-
BILE majority. This may have be en- due in
part TO divisions among the gold element,
but the effect of the result on Mr.. Wat
terson would seem to show that there was
enough silver triumph in it to prove very
discouraging to the advocates of a sound
currency in that State. But outside of
Kentucky tho Silveritss can point to
nothing that can fairly be claimed to be
a victory for free silver, or that can be
construed as an indication that the peo-
pie look with any more favor upon 1t
than they did a year ago. Nevertheless
Bryan and Jones will keep right on
shouting that the recent elections indi-
cate rising tide of silverism. 1t is a
part Of the game.

The fact of the massacre Of the Arlne-
mans, many thousands Of them, is SO we'll
established that it would seem to be en-
tirely superfuous to send anybody to
Turkey to look up evidence on the sub
ject. Yet the Now York Herald is going
to send the Rev. George FL. Hepworth
thither to ascertain the truth or falsity Of
the reported mnssacres. Mr.. Hepworth is
going too ON this mission with the con-
sent, if not at the request, of the Sultan
of Turkey. When the Sultan approves of
an investigation Of what has been going
on in his dc minion for several years past
by an American newspaper, there is room
for suspicion that he doFs so because he
expects to be able to control the report of
the Investigator. He may not be able to
do so in this case. We incline to the
opinion that he will not, but as our late
Ministerto Turkey, Mr.. Terrill, has
recently whitewashed .him literally in
one of our magazines, he has reason to
feel encouraged to try again.
