The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-10-02

This is an historical novel by Emma Ray
ner lately issued by Herbert s. Stone &
Co, Chicago. The story is founded on the
early history of the Swedish colony in this
country and it's Dutch rivalry. This colony
on the Delaware, known as New Sweden,
is almost forgotten save by students of his
tory, and this. tale serves the purpose of
bringing an interesting episode in the early
settlement of the country to mind. The
writer shows a thorough acquaintance with
the true Swedish character as well as the
history of the fatherland and the later set
Elements of the people in America. The
characters are as satisfactory as one could
wish for, but the dash of adventure that
usually accompanies a romance laid in the
old times is somewhat tanner. Nevertheless
it is a pretty tale well told.

This is a unique and entertaining book
Its general character is well expressed by
the title, since IL does set forth in quite an
original way the funny side of politics. 1t
contains in the first place the funny or
amusing things that have been said upon
and about different political subjects. This
portion of the book is divided into eight
parts. as follows: Part one, The Constitu-
ton" part two. Political PARTIES part
three. The Tariff Question: part four.
The Silver Question part hve, Internal
improvements part six, "Civil-service Re-
form" part seven, office Seekers and
Officeholders;" part eight, "Miscellaneous
Matters These parts embrace, among
other. things. numerous extracts from
speeches which are not only amusing In
themselves but contain many amusing
anecdotes. Incidentally they present the
pith of the great questions to which they
relate. Among other things one finds part
of a speech by Abraham Lincoln in Con-
gress, in which he made a humorous al
fusion to old political horses and military
coat tails. One chapter entitled. Anecdotes
About Public Persons and Politics." con-
tains some very amusing things, many of
which could be easily utilized by political
speakers. The preparation of the book
must have involved a great amount OF a
certain kind of research among political
speeches and writings, and the compiler,
George s. Hilton. has done Ii well. New
