sibility for Present Currency Perls" G. p.

An Unjust Decision.
Gunton's Magazine.

The vice chancellor of New Jersey has
declared the laws of that State protecting
are special and intended for the benefit OF
a particular class Well. then, what about
patents and copyrights, factory inspection
cation, child labor laws; yes, what about
state protection Of any form of property
from tfaud or tnleIery; Wnas ABOUT stn ne
criminal classes? Can the vice chancellor
anybody else mention single law that
larly for the benefit of some class than Of
the whole community? OF course not. If
the vice chancellors theory were sound all
laws would have to be abolished. 1T is
astonishing how easy 1t is to see the bug
bear of class legislation" when 1t happens
to be some interest of labor that is in
VoIVed.

The House committee on the election of
President. Vice President and representa-
tives in Congress has reported favorably
on a proposition to amend the Constitution
so that members of the House shall be
elected for four years, instead of two. The
reasons assigned for the proposed change
are the disturbing effect on business of
frequent elections. the fact that an ofr-year
Congress is almost invariably politically OPP
posed TO the national administration, maxi
Ing useful legislation almost impossible. and
the fact that it takes one whole session for
the rules and regulations of the House.
These arguments in favor of longer terms
are none the less strong because they have
been presented before

POeticaI Sermons.

This is the title of collection of seri-
Gus, devotional and ddactic compositions
by William E. Davenport, some of which
are in blank verse, some in rhyme and some
in jerky prose. The author is an avewed
admirer and plain imitator in style of Walt
Whitman. The so-caled poetical sermons
do not show any particular originality or
literary merit. and are not likely to be as
highly rated by any one else as they evil
IDENTIFY are by the author. New York: Ct.

There is some talk of instituting a libel
suit against the New York Voice, the or

paper. Otherwise it had better be treated
with silent contempt.

Where is the Ancient and Honorable Ar
tillery Company of Boston in the present
crisis? This question is not asked with a
view to any insinuation against the loyalty
of this famous aggregation of warriors. but
in these times the government should have

ment that the Ancient and Honorable is
ready to go to the front is the only thing
now needed to set the public mind at rest as

This poem, in seven books Of blank verse,
is a paraphrase or adaptation Of the Bible
story of the book of Esther, with such
changes in the language as to make it con-
f m to the measure of the verse, the story
itself being supplemented by the introduc-
ton of some imaginary characters, scenery
and incidents. The poem is written in an
earnest, dignified style, but the original

MIR. Gladstone is entirely right In saying
that for the English farmer to raise certain
products at home would be better for him
self and the country" Properly interpreted,
this gives logical foundation for pro-

that whatever is better for the country
Is worth paying at least something for, and
that it is the task of craftsmanship TO ball
ance the accounts and so direct national
policy IS to secure the greater Eain.

adventure which ends as all properly con-
stituted romanceS should, in the triumph Of
young love and the establishment of the
lovers in a position to live happily ever
after. The scene of the story opens in
Scotland near the end of the seventeenth
century, but the hero and heroine are soon
transferred to Holland, where most of the
action takes place. The hero Wat Gordon,
is a reckless parsonage to whom adventure
is inevitable. There is the usual impedi-
ment to the course of his true love- and
after he has distinguished himself in mill
tary service in Holland and in a variety of
other ways that prove him to be q man of
fine quality he emerges from an army pris-
on i'll with fever, only to learn that his
sweetheart has been taken back to Scot
land by her obdurate father and is about
to be married at ms command TO a man
whom she fears and dislilleS. In spite OF ILL
ness Gordon resolves upon her rescue, and
thereupon follows a spirited account of his
journey to England, from which he was a
political exile, of his tour across country
on horseback and of his spectacular arrival
at the home of the bride at the very hour
greet him and say farewell and was caught
up upon his good steed, how they dashed
across country and escaped all pursuit is a
tale that is simply q prose ampllfcation OF
SCOTS ''Lochinvar," but it is well told, and
the fact that the idea is not Crockett's own
detracts nothing from the interest. 1t is a
lively, wholesome story, with enough of
historical allusion to excite the interest of
young readers, and is a good novel to put
into their hands.
