son and namesake of a well known poet
and editor who died ten years ago.
Richard Henry Stoddard, at the age
of 10. is still furnishing something Ike
5000 words Of excellent literary cIlu-
cism every week to the Mail ana Tx
press. 1t is understood that he derives
as he should. a very good salary from
this faithful work He lives in mouse
in East 18th street which he has m
habited so long that the sum OF the
rent he has paid for it amounts now
to several times the value of the prop
erty. 1t is a literary centre, and men
like Stedman and HoWellS are often TO
be met with there. exchanging literary
"reminiscences and opinions. Ihere
has long been a special intimacy be-
tween Mr.. Stedman and MIR. Stoddard,
as there was at an earlier day between
Mr.. Stoddard and Bayard Taylor. Be
fore the Stoddards removed to the
house in which they have lived so long,
Bayard Taylor lived with them Tor d
time in a house in East 18th street and
this was even more of a literary resort
than their present home. Mr. StOddard
began life far enough from literature
AS a workman in an iron foundry, and
even after he became a declared writer
it was many years before he depended
solely on his pen for a livelihood. For
nearly 20 years he held a position in the
New York custom house, and for three
or four years he held some other public
office. But now for nearly 20 years
he has been in charge of the literary
department of the Mail and Express,
and his employments have been almost
wholly literary.

THE Rise and Growth of American
Politics" is the title of useful book
of 1886 pages, being a sketch of constl-
tutional development, prepared Dy
Henry Jones Ford of Pittsburg, Pa. IN
the preface the author says: "Consid-
Grafton of questions of public pollcy or
of party issues does not enter INTO the
plan. The object however, mas peeh
to give an explanation of causes rather
than narrative of events, so that the
reader may understand the actual sys-
tenn of government under which We
live" Naturally, as Mr.. Ford explains,
American politics bears detenninate
relation to English politics, and in fact
the one is an off-shoot of the other.
This fact is conspicuously recognized in
the plan and execution of the work.

THE Control of the Tropics" a
book written by Mr.. Benjamin Kidd,
author of social Evolution" has been
frequently quoted since expansion or
Imperialism became a live issue in the
United States. Now that the issue seems
to have been virtually settled, Mr.
Kids observations and arguments are
none the less interesting, and certainly
they are instructive. He is expansion
list TO the core. He sees no other logical
policy for the Anglo-Sa race. wheth-
err in America or in England. We must
expand or 'bust"--that is Mr.. Kidd S
creed. 1t is not good for us to remain
where we are or were a century, or
even a quarter century, ago.
1t is especially with reference to the
tropics, however that Mr.. Kidd writes,
and he proceeds to argue the necessity
the inevitableness of Anglo-Saxo eX-
pansion into the tropics and the duty
of Anglo-Saxon control of the tropics
Having demonstrated this fact to his
own satisfaction, he proceeds to show
how this expansion is to be effected
He does not believe that the white man
can be acclimated permanently in the
tropics, and hence the only method Of
expansion is, as it were, by proxy. The
Anglo-SaXon must subdue or cajole the
natives and make them do the expand
ing. The natives themselves are chill
dren, incapable of self-government ana
of developing the tropics, and they will
probably always be- incapable. 1t is
therefore the duty of the whites to
take charge of the tropical countries
and peoples and hold them in trust for
civilization, carefully nurturing them,
and never exploiting them for the sell
fish benefit Of the sovereign power. In
other words, the English system, not
the century-old continental colonial
system, is the one safe and profitable
