THE MAGAZINES.

Soribner's for September opens with an
account by Frederic Irland of what he
calls "the finest canoeing country in the
world" He made five hundred mile
journey from Mattawa at the headwaters
OF the Ottawa and Gatineau Rivers,
through a region Astounding In fish and
moose. 1t has been for centuries ana is
now the home of the Algonquin Indian.
The region through which MIR. Irland
travelled with Algonq uins for guides is
the best sportsman's haunt left in
America. Much of the wilderness is as
yet uncharted. The illustrations are
made from the authors abundant photo
| graphs. The Stevenson letters in this
number have to do with the SaranaC
Lake region of the Adirondaeks in win
| ter, and describe the outdoor life led by
the novelist and his family when he was
trying to regain his health. There Ia
also a story of life and adventure In the
Arctic regions by Albert White Worse.
| 1t Is entitled The Education of Praed
| illustrated by Henry McCarter) and Ssais
how Western college professor learned
something of value from tbs Esquimaux.
The poems also have VACATION air about
| them. The Old Home daunt, illustrated
by Henry HUT, Is p boys memories of
| fishing. DR.. THI Dyke contributes a
Slumbef song for the fisherman's child,
illustrated by Maude Cowles. Other out
door poems are In Poppy Garden and
The Very Thrush.
The leading article in Appleton's Popu-
lar Science Monthly for September con-
tains very important discussion of the
problem presented to all civilized coun-
tries by the prevalence of the plague in
the East. The magnitude of the Eastern
trade and the large number of steamships
and sailing vessels which are continually
going and coming make 1T much mora
difficult TO keep. out of country such a
pestilence than it was In the early days
of this century. Tuskegee Institute and
Its President is the title Of an interesting
article by.M. B. Thrasher. The origin OF
this uniqus school, its steady growth, and
the good work which 1t Is at present do
Ing for the Southern negroes, and through
them for the whites, are all pointed out.
A number of illustrations add very much
to the interest Of the article. The con-
ciusion of Appleton Morgan's study OF
Recent Legislation Against the Drink
Evil seems still more strongly to confirm
his view that the result OF Legislative in
reference up to date has rather increased
| than diminished Drunkenness. An at
| traotive little natural-history sketch Ia
written by w. 4. Cram, the artist Datur-
alist, under the title Hawk Lures. Prof.
| III. W. Conn, of Wesleyan University
contributes an important article on The

the serious results which may follow from

out methods by which these dangers may
be avoided. The concluding article ii

The enthusiasm for Bryan among the
Democratic masses isIhard to account for
but that it exists is beyond dispute. Three
years ago there was distress prevailing
from one end.of the country to the other
business was poor and industry para.
lyzed. When he came forward then and
offered what he proclaimed to be an un-
faiiiiIg cutvr Itn this condition of things
and supported it with specious srgu-
ments eloquently spoken, it was not
strange that he had great following.
His popularity then could be explained
on the same ground al the popularity
of the various ourists that from time to
time appear and by positive assertions
of ability to heal, take captive this sick
and the ailiug. But this year there are
no such conditions prevailing. Business
Is prosperous. the wheels of the factories
are turning and labor is generally en-
ployed at good prices. Furthermore,
Bryan's diagnosis Of the country's
troubles of three years ago, has been
shown to have been absurdly incorrect.
Nothing but silver administered In liberal
doses. be said. could change the situation,
and bring back prosperity, and yet pros.
perity has come equal to any the country
has ever seen without the use Of single
one OF his remedies. A doctor who MIS-
took both the cause of the disease and its
nature, would sadly suffer in reputation
and probably find his practice greatly de-

the smallest diminution OF his prestig,

The evidence at Rennes for several days
past has been favorable to the accused,
and there are signs that the conspiratori
are becoming panic stricken and will

BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA
PROMISE OF 4 STRICT MAINTENANCE
OF FREIGHT TARIFFS.
Proposition to Abolish SecOnd-CIass
and Tourist Rates Likely to Be
Beaten-PersonaI Notes.

1t is confidently believed that there will
now be inaugUrated the most permanent
and effective system of rates ever before
known to transportation interests. The as
ISOLATION plan has been tried for the past
twenty-five years and found to be utterly
VaIueless. Millions of dollars have been ex-
pended in the maintenance of traffic organi-
cations that never maintained anything
The railroads have submitted to this burden
some system of taxation, and the only good
that came from it were understandings in
regard to party rates and concerted action
in fixing up tariffs for Grand Army meet
ings and the like. The railroads are COM
petenttO regulate their business without the
interposition of outsiders, and it is refresh
ing to know that movement was recently
set on foot in the West where they are
entirely ignored. AllusiOn is made to the
meeting held at the home of President IN
gals, of the Big Four in Cincinnati, which
was attended by many OF the high officials
of the lines in this section who are DESTROYS
of seeing rates put back to a paying basis.
This meeting is taken as a most encouraging
indication that tariff sheets during the year
to come win have something of meaning
that they are published for purpose. The
fact that charges are to be increased, and
are likely to remain stable caused a big
stir in shipping circles the past week, and
goods have been rushed forward in great
volume to take advantage of prevailing
rates. Local freight officials are very de-
termined in their intention to restore rates
and treat all shippers alike.
