those taken by the Review ed1tOrially in
its Septem Der number; but in this cam
paign, as in that of 1885, the Review
opens its pages to both sides. Mr.. Frank
5. MOnnett, who was attorney general
of Ohio, won distinction for his effective
enforcement OF the antitrust laws tells
how the trust problem could be practical
ly dealt with by a Bryan administration; 4;
while a more conservative view Of the
came subject is presented by Prof. j.
Laurence Laughlin, Of the University Of
Chicago. A Republican and Democrat
1c view Of the prospects Of silver under
President Bryan are presented, respective
ly, by Director of the Mint Roberts and
by DR.. Charles b. Spahr.
Rudyard Kiphng's new story is the
principal feature of Everybody's Maga-
zine for October. A Burgher OF the Free
State portrays the scenes Immediately be-
fore and after the capture of Bloemeon-
tein by the British, and the old Scotch
man, who has been burgher Of the Free
State for over forty years, throws much
light on the true situation IN South
Africa. The story Is full of the wit and
word play so charmingly characteristic
Of all Kiphng's short stories. That the
DOWager Empress of China was a slave is
generally known, but the methods by
which she mounted the throne and the
subtle cunning by which she attained her
position, are facts most entertain1ngly
told in this number. ''How Does It Feel
to be Baked Alive? is the title OF another
article which answers that question.
Stuart RosbOn continues his delightful
memoirs Of fifty years Of his busy life and
relates many amusing anecdotes OF well
known people. Besides the Kipling story
the magazine contains several very inter-
esting short stories. The Illustrations
are particularly good and plentiful.

An article In the October number of
Frank Leslies Magazine certain to at
tract attention is an autobiographical
story, taken from the diary of the late
of the ''Texas." AS young man serv-
ing as executive officer aboard the q. S.
S. "Wachusett. - then cruising in Chin.
ese waters, Philip was called upon to take
summary measures for the suppression of
outrages committed upon American citi-
zens by Chinese subjects. The story is
peculiarly interesting from the light 1t
throws upon Chinese methods OF justice
and diplomacy and incidentally it tell 8
the reader, far better than any descrip-
/ tlOn, what manner of man Admiral
Philip was. In fiction, the number is no
less strong. Stephen Crane. whose I'M
! timely death meant so much to American
readers, has left for US to publish, a story
characteristic OF his best work. The title,
The End OF the Battle, suggests the
theme, Granny is a sweet story of the
love of a little child and an old woman,
while A Spoke in the Wheel gives a dra-
matic picture OF courtsh1p and revolution
in South America A Panther in the
Pulpit is "Reminiscences OF a strange
and picturesque adventure and The
Buffalo Skull the tale of fortune which
is yet to be realized.
