be unprogressive indeed if we did not
gather wisdom as we go. Since Kant
Leibnitz, Hegel and Stuart Mill, there is
something to be said. Professor Bovine
says it Understandings, and will obtain
gratified hearing. This author seems
to us to mingle the best and soundest
principles of both the ideal and empirical
schools of thought. He writes SO clearly
as TO make of his book desirable one for
the thinker pure and simple, as well as
Ior The teacher and student in their
several tasks. A brief epitome of the
WORK tells us that it's root thought is that
thought is an organic activity which
un1olds from within, and can never be
put together from without, by the me-
chanlcal Juxtaposition and association of
sense Impressions Among its treatments
are those OF the practical nature of be-
lief, and the incompleteness of all our
systematic constructions. New York:

Short & Harmon. Price 81 .50.)
The Revolutionary Tendencies of the
Age. Their Cause and Altimate Aim. If
we examine this study for it's style, we
observe two qualities The construction
includes the use of very short sentences
shorn of all ornament, and of elaborate
paragraphs made up of repetitions, as
$50 heroic were the remedies $50 reso-
lutte their efforts, - $50 fierce the strug-
gle," etc., etc. The result is that the
work, though sometimes eloquent, lacks
variety and repose in it's methods of ex-
preston. For the material itself here
dealt with, the writer analyses the nature
of labor, the growth of intelligence and
with it of oppression of the ignorant, the
monopoly of necessaries. as land and
water, and SO on. The Lord of the Man
or stands for the figure head of the chill
dren of Mammon. "On what grounds,
it may be asked, does the human race ),
which holds it's lease of this earth direct
from nature and pays to her the tribute
the rent-she demands pay in addition to
this tribute to certain individuals of the
race, without due consideration, without
good and valid cause?''
Our author claims that more equal
distribution of wealth is absolutely neces-
sary to democracy. He believes in life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness for
all, and with the spread of knowledge
this must come about if we are to be
faithful to our trust as almoners and
stewards of the resources of this world.

Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. indorses the For
aker pooling bill. "Our fraternity" he
says, "favors anything that helps the
earnings of the railways. We realize
that if the railroads make money they
can pay good salaries, but if the reverse
is the case they must necessarily reduce
salaries" He sensibly states a truth an
plicable to the relations of employees and
employed in every branch of industry.
When this identity of interest is ignored
trouble surely follows at the end of which
the workingman awakes to realization
of the fact that he has been following
strange gods.

The Burglar Who Moved Paradise, by
Herbert D. Ward, is just the book with
which to beguile summers day-amu-
sing. light and readable. The opening
courtship is quite charming, and we ven
ture to think the ensuing marriage and
honeymoon cannot be outdone in origi-
nality of design. Matthew Lancelot is a
bad little dog; only his mistress under
stands him. He barks at supposed burg
lars, making ''the baby cry and Tom say
things that percolated through the
matched board cottage" Nowhere short
of Stockton's Pomona do we encounter
such doings as the moving of the seaside
cottage on scows from one point in the
harbor to another-overtaken by a storm
at sea and seriously tragic night of it.
Mr.. Wards literary reputation stands
well by itself without dependence upon
any source, but very certainly the wit
and insight of Mrs. Ward have moved in
with this cottage idyl, and by
proxy have instilled into it her I'M
equaled study of New England types.
We cordially commend The Burglar Who
Moved Paradise. Boston and New York:

The Third Violet, by Stephen Crane,
author of The Red Badge of Courage,
etc., etc. Mr.. Crane can it seems, write
of love as we'll as war. He is also versa
tile enough to put the slums into fiction,
as in Maggie. Something strenuous and
brutal characterizes all his work, and
The Third Violet deals hardly enough
with the so called tenderer sentiment. A
poor artist falls in love with rich wom-
an. Hotel life, with the paternal farm of
the hero's upbringing in close vicinity,
form one locale of the story, while the
other has to do with Bohemian studios
and the city home of society woman
$50 on!" 'sShut up!" "Stop that!"
"Oh, let up'l' $50 to blazesl' are
samples of The Third Violet's phrases,
with others less desirable, and a good deal
of careless English or grammar astray
Yet when ell is told, the author has a
grip on vital experiences and this is what
gives him his wide reading. The blood
circulates strongly through the veins of
his subjects and certain sort of grim
humor adds to the writer's powers. Eere
and there condensed presentation of hui
man nature is mastery in the differences
contained in half dozen words.
Mr.. Cranes use of color is too wei
known to demand comment, and we have
here, though not very thickly laid on,
fred STAINED crags," "lemon and pink
information of the suns sinking" and
various other bits of palette work.
The most painful quality the story
contains is Hawker's attitude of half-sav-
age hostility to his own people because of
their humble origin and narrowness of
view-a trait which is thoroughly detesta
BILE. Indeed it is hard to see wherein Billy
Hawker, The Third Violet's hero, should
be either respected or beloved unless he
had something admirable about him,
which the author hasn't revealed. So
trong is Mr.. Cranes creative power that
we are inclined to think this is so. Stan
ley, the dog, is delightfully."- pictured.
An exaggeration of epithets is lost sight
of in the general swirl of the story. The
studios make one think of Trilby sans
Du Maurier's sparkle and glamour.

HARRISON IN HOT WATER.

Elk President Benjamin Harrison is in
hot water. His neighbors are criticising
him severely for chnmp Ioning the cause
of the street railways of indianapolis
against the people. General Harrison,
who is now engaged in the practice of his
profession COR the purpose of making a
living for himself and family, had
right to accept the fee of $4,000 and
take the case of the street railway compa-
MES, and the people admit his right in
this respect. The gravamen of their
charge, however, says the New Orleans
States, is that he sold his personal innu-
ence to the railroad companies, as well as
his legal ability, and appeared before leg
islat!ve committees as lobby agent
where the question was one of personal
and political pull rather than legal argu-
ment before the court. Whether General
Harrison had the moral right to adopt the
course he did to win his case or not the
fact is the people Of indianapolis are max
ing it warm fer him. The situation has
been made more embarrassing for the ex-
President by reason of the fact that the
matter has been taken up by the churches
and very keen shafts are being fired at
him quick and fast from the pulpits as
we'll rs the newspapers. The pastor of IL
Methodist Church within half square of
the residence of General Harrison deliv-
cred sermon recently in which he re-
ferred to the grievance the people of
indianapolis had against the railroads as
follows:
"Moaopolies Cypress and rob the peo-
pie; wealth is too unequally distributed.
Great corporations dcbauch the public
conscience. There are 1885 miles OF
street railway in our county and these
are bonded and stocked for about $4,000
mile. Would not $1,000 mile be a
reasonable expenditure? Why, then, this
additional theft and burden of 100000 Il
mile? Why $4,000, 900 of stock on SO,
0OO, 900 of property (referring to the local
company? And when an outraged people
are held by the throat and robbed Of an
amount sufficient to pay the dividends
upon this outrageous sum, how the soul
of the patient longs for the men of 1776
Shades Ct jefferson, of Patrick Henry
and of Washington once more appear and
write new declaration of independence
again SIS such unjust tyranny. Can any
one imagine the president of IL street rail
way company approaching George Wash
ington and Offering him 100000 fee to
Justify such an iniuuity and defend such
an outrage upon the rights of the people!"
The indianapolis street car war grows
out of the movement to secure 3 cent
fares which the companies have so far
successfully resisted. The fight, how
ever. goes on and General Harrison con
tinnes to be censured, probably more be-
cause he has so far been successful In his
clients behalf than because he undertook
the case. birmingham, Ala, News.
