shown by her splendid vote.

Literary Notes.

THE FORUM for March contains dozen
timely and important articles, among
them the Arbitration Treaty is discussed
by two competent authorities-the Hon.
Frederic K. Coudert, the eminent inter
national lawyer and ex-member of the
Behring Sea arbitration commission, and
Theodore S Woolsey, professor of inter
national law at Yale. Each has a few
criticisms to make, but both agree in de.
claring the treaty to be considerable
step toward a better order of things.
Apropos to the recent report OF the comp
troller of the state OF New York in which
he advances some rather startling theo-
rles OF taxation, the Hon. Perry Belmont,
the well-known politician and millionaire,
criticises Mr.. Roberts views in a paper
entitled Taxation: It's Sum, Justification
and Methods" Mr.. William Allen White,
editor OF the Emporia (Kans. } Gazette, 4"
whose recent article, "What's the Matter
with Kansas" attracted such wide
attention, contributes striking paper
on 1.-THE Present and Future of Kansas"
Mr.. James Schouler, the eminent consti.
tutional lawyer and historian, reviews
those of Mr. Cleveland administrative
acts which have provoked the criticism
that he has arrogantly and illegally
stretched his constitutional powers, dis
cussing in particular the question as to
his right to recognize beligerency.
GoDEY's MAGAZINE for March is nota 5le
for the variety of its topics and the YER
satiity OF its general makeup. The lead
sing article on "Pastime Photography"
shows what pleasing work can be done
by a skilliul use of the camera and living
models. 1t is fully illustrated with quaint
and pretty pictures. Following this is
Modern Art in Piano Building" illus
trated with pictures of the most beauti-
iml instruments of recent make. These
pictures will surprise many people.
Dresden Opera" receives treatment,
with illustrations, and will interest not
only musical people but general readers
as well. Among the Specials" Of timely
interest is Handsome Newspaper Wo-
men," with portraits, in which Miss
Helen Winslow of the Boston Transcript
describes the life and work of several
prominent beautiful women of the press.
The fashion and woman's departments
are full of practical things; and the no W
finished "Modes and Manners of Seventy
Years." by Grace E. Drew gives that
completeness to the three issues Uannary,
February and March), which renders
them worthy to be kept apart for future
use, as among the contributions to gen.
eral literature which can never be dup!i.
