Mr.. Edward Bollamy's new book, Equal
ity," the first which he has published since
Looking Backward, will be awaited with
extraordinary interest. After years OF propa-
ration the author now puts forward a work
which will command universal attention
The new book which will be published in u
few weeks by ID. Appleton a. Co., viii be
larger and more comprehensive than Look
ing Backward The scene is the same--that
Is TO say, the world OF the twentieth century
and the same characters reappear. But
while the new book tells us much that is fresh
about the institutions of the world OF tomor
row. its especial purpose, as distinguished
from that OF Looking Backward, is TO ac-
count for those institutions by explaining
not only their righteousness aud reason, but
likewise he course of historical evolution by
which they were born out of tho very differ
ent order of things existing today. In this
part OF bis work the author has much to say
of the meaningof the events Of our own times.
which he links with the future by predictions
of changes now close uron rs. The title,
Equality" Is well chosen, in view of the
general theme.

The free traders must find little real
ground for attack upon the DIngley bill
when they are compelled 10 enter the sort
of complaint they are now bringing TO
the front. One of the latest arguments
against the bill Is that II bases the raA.
of duty upon tooth brushes upon the
number of bristles in each brush, which
fact an able contemporary says, viii
cause the teeth of the American people
10 go 10 ruin while the bristlcs are being
counted.

For the excellcntly planned work Of the
potato patch committee, one thousand
dollars are needed. Moreover, TO accom-.
plish the best result from every dollar, this
sum is wanted at once, within two weeks
at the farthest. IL is an insignificant
amount by contrast to the good work that
is assured from its investment. The plan
is an attractive one and may well appca
to the pocketbooks OF the charitably dis.
posed and public spirited citizens especially
