Secretary Bliss, in his letter to Mr..
Tracy asserts that the contest in New
York is q renewal Of the contest of 1895.
and that the election of either of the
Tammany candidates will be triumph
of anarchy and socialism. 1t will GER
tainly be triumph for the friends of the
idea that public offices are spolls for the
enrichment of the people who get posses
sion of them. Nobody of intelligence
doubts that if Van WICK is elected Mayor
the municipal administration OF New
York will practically be turned over to
Richard Croker to use to strengthen his
dictatorship, and that he will use 1t for
that purpose. If Van Wyck is elected the
subordinate city officers of whom there
are legion, will be selected not accord
| ing to their fitness to serve the oity Tut
| for their fitness to serve the purposes OF
Boss Croker. His interests will be
paramount every time. But that the con-
test in New York is in any true sense a
| revival of the contest of 1896 Is to be
questioned The contest of 1896 was for
the control of the national government,
and by means of that control, ii
the Organizes won, the enactment
of laws destroying the present mon
etary standard. That was the great issue
before the people and that was the issue
on which the Republicans won. The
contest in New York is for the possession
Of the government of New York, with a
view on the part of Tammany of using
that possession as it has always used It,,
not for the good of the city, but for the
enrichment of its followers. A great
many men might believe in free silver
and votei for it who would have no sym.
pathy whatever with such designs as
Tammany has on the government of New
| York. AS matter of fact the special
friends of free silver in this campaign are
| fighting under the George banner. The
issue in New York is simply one of good
municipal government. There is no
other. There is no question but the ma.
jority of the supporters of both Gen.
Tracy and Seth Low are after the same
thing-honest and efficient municipal ad
ministration, and that it is only
| Dy Gne elecGlon OF one or the OGner
of them that that kind of government CAN
be secured. The misfortune of the situa-
ton is that by both remaining in the
field they are likely to SO divide the voters
who want honest government that
neither of them will be elected. If Secre-
tary Bliss could contrive some way to get
one or the other of them to take himself
out of tho way, or could prevail upon
them both to get out, and permit the
nomination of third man he would do
something substantial for good govern :
ment. AS it is his contribution may
make the national administration solid
with the Republican organization in
New York and put it under obligation to
give 1t its help when wanted, but that is
about all.

The Federal Judge. A novel by Charles
Z. Lush, delineates and sets forth thu
machinations of wire pulier and spec
ulator trying to handle big corporation!
and to buy legislation in the guise o.
profered friendship. The old fedora
judge is a stalwart creature morally, and
is only temporarily influenced by these
advances. In the course of the story
some old New England "help," Betsy
Pilsbury and Rufus Pease who had
been with the Dunn family nigh on tc
twenty years assert their Individuality
with pleasant flavor of old times. But.
terfy collecting or more properly lepid.
optery proves to be the Judges avocation,

In his last le ter to Carl Schurz, Sena-
tor Gallinger referring to tie former S
statement that civil service reform has
already been endorsed by the intelligent
public opinion, says that he has reason
to believe that the Intelligent public
opinion is just about the size of the
Mugwump coterie If this be so, why
did the Republican party at its last con-
vention point with pride to the fact that
it put the civil service reform law on the
statute book and demand it's extension
whenever practicable? Why has Presi-
dent Mckinley extended the reform since
he became President and notably
strengthened the protection which the
law gives toEgovernment employees? Can
it be possible that the Republican party
and the Republican President are cater
ing to the Mugwump coterie-which in
Mr.. Gallinger's vocabulary is synonymous
with band of traitors to the Republi-
can party.

The Gods Annie, by Annie Holdsworth,
author of Joanna Trail, Spinster, etc,
etc. The title Of this novel is not alto

have got hold upon the imagination of the
heroine and she uses it in reference to the
coming of the people into power as
against plutocracies and again in connec-
ton with her own love affairs. No line of
thought is here pursued with any con-
tinuity. A brilliant young woman fol-

Count Baden, the Austrian premier, is
thoroughly ruffied in temper over five ur-
gency motions to impeach him. The
charges allege violations of the constitu-
ton, consisting mainly of Interfering
with public meetings and the issuing of
DEGREES on the language question. Count
Baden undertook to answer all the
charges, but being interrupted angrily
threatened not to speak throughout the
debate. Imagine, if you can, an Amer

Croker decreed otherwise. Now Dayton
has taken off his coat and intends to dc

Footprints of the Patriots. Beside Old

Brown, author of Beneath Old Oak Trees.
etc., etc. Illustrated. Mr.. Brown does
good service in this and similar writings.
Instead of general American history, he
employs himself in tracing home and
studying up the residences, belongings
noted in Revolutionary times. Starting
with Groton, Mass, he goes on to Pep
perell, Shirley, Hollis, N. H., Danvers
and Chelmsford. No items escape him;
even to fac smile page of an old fami-
ly Bible. To those who love to dwell
upon the beginnings of our nation, these
volumes have much of value, and it is
just such books that we turn to to read
with our young people that we may fire
their hearts with patriotism not so easy
to arouse as with the earlier generations
who lived nearer the events of critical
periods in our history. The author has
sought out the descendants of our Reyo
lutionary heroes and gathered from
them accounts of their forbears, together
with mementoes which he here describes
by the written word and by pictured re-
production. Little Sidney Craige Per
ham in the old cradle makes a very win
ming frontisplece to tho volume. (Boston.
