ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 80, 1900.

In Che matter of new books a great stiiihess
broods upon the scene. Publishers will now De
gin 10 take stock" and, although not few an
nouncements are made, the important things for
1901 are still TO be proclaimed. An enterprise
that may produce great fruits is to be carried
out by the Harpers, who will publish once every
month in the coming year an American novel by
a new American author; but books of this sort
are always with US in abundance, so we must
wait until the twelve have appeared before re-
marking upon the scheme which is to give them
to us. In fact, we put all vain speculations
aside and content ourselves with the hope that
1901 will be as rich in interesting things as 1901
has been No colossal masterpieces come to
mind bearing the latter date, but so many BOOKS
altogether worth reading crowd upon the mem
Ory that we are profoundly grateful to the dying

Let the poets of the new year take heart OF
grace OF the three books of Mr.. stephen
Phillips whose "HerOd' We review to-day on
another page, the publisher announces that
he has sold some thirty thousand copies within
three years. 1t is to be expected, moreover
that the performance of "Herod" on the stage
in England and in America will considerably
augment the circulation of that poem in book
form. and give flip also to the sale of "Paolo
and francesca" and Poems" No doubt Mr.
Phillips is lucky beyond the fate of most of
his versifying contemporaries, but it is said
that the minor poets who sell their works in
fair numbers are more numerous than one

One editor, at least, has, or is said TO have,
a knotty problem before him in the coming of
the twentieth century. Mr.. James Knowles is
an object of commiseratiOn in some quarters
for, say his commentators, what can he do
about the monthly magazine he edits? He calls
it now THE Nineteenth Century" Is it not
necessary that this title should be changed?
Ne doubt it. Possibly the title may seem
little out of place after the present century has
become a shade strange, but for some years at
least it is probable that the periodical could
wear its familiar name without disturbing any
bOdy's eQIanimity. 1t has been pointed out
that although THE Fortnighty' long since
ceased TO make its appearance twice month
nobody notices the inaccuracy of the name it
bears. The case may not be ON all fours with
that of THE Nineteenth Century" but there is
resemblance enough for our purpose. While
Mr.. Knowles is making up his mind, it might be
interesting TO hear what our own Nineteenth
Century Club is going to do about adapting
itself to the new century.
New-York tribune., 1900-12-30

Apropos of the war books which have been
piled higher than anything else on the book
sellers counters, it is to be presumed that we
may, without offence TO the authors, pray that
there may be no occasion for the production of
any more of them-for humanitarian reasons
not solely related to thoughts of peace. The
long and short of it is that the making of war
books has been OverdOne; if ballots on the
subject could be cast Khaki writers would
be astOnished at the revelation of public taste
which would ensue- However, if MIR. Julian
Ralph's dream of the future comes true man
kind may still 90 forth TO war and escape
By unnumbered scribes clamOrng TO be read.
Mr. Ralph writes to 1.-The Spectator to explain
that it would be better for all concerned if here
after when a war breaks out, only Trustworthy
correspondents are allowed to follow the
armies and "none but competent and press-re-
specting cenSors' are assigned to the duty of
looking after them 1t is not unlikely that by
the time mere mOrtals find way of realizing
this programme they will also have devised
some means of avoiding war; but to consider
too curiously Mr.. Ralph's amiable proposition
would be mkind. His main contention is sound,
l. e., that the South African experience has
shown the imperative necessity for reforms as
regards war correspondents and censOrs, and
that the reforms pretty certain TO be made.
If the reader finds his account in a diminution
of war books and an Improvement in the quality
of those that get into print, much the better.

From all parts of the country come
conflicting statements as to the re-
suit of the elections in November.
The Republicans are confident; the
Democrats are hopeful. OF course,
the other parties do not stand the
ghost of a chance to elect their can
didates. 1t may be true that the
leaders are in position to form q
correct opinion relative to some Of
the doubtful States, but from the
best information before us, we place
little confidence in their predictions.
1t is safe to assert, however, that the
country is in a state of political tur-
MOL; that both the Democratic
and the Republican parties are
thoroughly aroused and are actively
and earnestly at work, but it remains

result.
