1t is a great pity that the question Of
a state constatulary should be rendered
almost hopeless by the danger Of allow
ing either party to have control of it.
The people of the rural districts, both
Of New England and New York, really
need police protection. The county and
village surveillance Is farce. Robber-
les, house burnings and even. murders
are committed every year in outlying
districts. and the perpetrators go un-
punished because there is no effective
system of police outside Of the large
cities. The village constable is never
prepared to face criminal act of un-
usual proportions. The inhabitants are
separated by vast spaces. and anything
like systematic protection is out of the
question. If something like mounted
patrol were instituted. with stations in
each township. connected by wire. Of
lenses against society in the rural dis
tricts would be speedily reduced to .
minimum.

(s,.ad Natured Americans.

MI William Archer continues toad
mire Americans with a perfectly I'M
bridlei good nature. All those features
of New York life which have caused
Americans the most annoyance ara dis
tress appear to him in the rosiestfight.
The rush and scramble on the e]fvated
trains have exhilarated and charmed his
English disposition. To hang apoo a
strap, to have an arm sliced of BY
gate slammer, awakens in him only the
profoundest admiration for the upper
turbed gayety of the average American.
He has mingled with the densest
crowds, walked In the street NIB, been
present at fire, contemplate a ward
meeting and travelled in a trolley, and
everywhere he finds that the americans
laugh at discomforts, turn imvertinence
into joke and soften ell the ills of life
with an irresistible sense of humor. 1t
is doubtful if an American can see these
matters in the same light. In order to
uO 81 uC WOulu nave W iI'O q Nv hAAC 49,
London or Berlin. and become as sullen
and i'll natured as the average English
man or as pempous and arbitrary as
the German official. The American
crowd presents TO the Londoner one
sparkling characteristics is its go as
you please good sense and its general
avoidance of restrictive and unnecessary
red tape. Mr.. Archer mas an admiring
word for the railway travel of New
York. He thinks the elevated road is
not without its aesthetic beauty. He
grows almost poetic over the flying
trains in the air. and to one who has
been stifed with the gas and smoke in
the English tunnels and deafened by
the crash Of the Stone roadbeds our
light and airy str lectures seem fairy
like But in all this the one distin-
gushing charm r9mains-the good ma
ture of the American, who, under the
most adverse circumstances, whether in
a mob or in a police court, manages to
keep up gayety of heart that the effete
nations of Europe can only produce I'M
der the most violent libations. In other
words, the American gets drunk on his
own atmosphere.

"GREEN WITHEs," by Jeanette H.
Walworth, the powerful complete
novel in the June issue of .LippincotSs
Magazine, is tale of strong human
interest, touching, as it does, one of the
vital questions of the present time.
Mrs. Walworth gives to environment
its full value in leading the reader
from the old world to the new. How
pathetic is the situation of the Inflated
millionaire daughter whom we meet
in Rome! Then the vigorous, indie
pendent heroine of the later pages.
Both are harmoniously and artistically
set forth. The swapping Of the green
withes of convention, and the newt
able awakening are told in forceful
and interesting way calculated to
arouse the deepest sympathy.
