Jarvis of Harvard.

This, as the title leads one to expect, is
story of the life of college student. 1t
develops, however, that the life of this
particular student has comparatively little
TO do with the classroom and the routine
which unsuspecting and confiding parents
picture their sons as enjoying. 1t is,
the contrary, mainly tale of his proceed
ings outside that institution and of his
amatory experiences. Jarvis, it appears,
has had just before his introduction as a
freshman the experience, more common
perhaps in real life than is often admitted,
of being led morally astray by a young
woman of his own select social circle. OF
pure mind and clean life up To that time,
the experience makes him reckless and he
drifts into association with chorus girls
and other women of the lowest type and
spends much time in dissipation to the
neglect of his studies. In the course of time
he partially RECEIVERS his mental and moral
balance and falls in love with good girl,
only TO come once more within the tolls
of the original siren. Eventually he casts
her off and his true love becomes recon-
ciled to him. Incidentally some glimpses
of college life are given, one or two ami
mated chapters relating TO athletics being
introduced. The author explains in
preface that he had no other purpose in
writing the book than 10 tell a story, but
this explanation does not really justify and
account for the story, which is not worth
the labor the author has put upon it. The

except that "a man given over to dissipation

pursuits of the college-a lesson that 1t
hardly needs such a novel to teach And

PRIMARY SCHOOLS OF VICE AND

The decision of Judge Stubs 10 consider
Juvenile offenders apart from the other al

Police Court must meet the approval of all
who give the subject consideration. The
massing of mere boys with the hardened
men aud women who appear with more or
less irregularity in the city court brands
them as being of the criminal class at the
outset Those who see them in that court
selves feel that they have been assigned
20 the criminal classes because of their
conduct The object of modern treatment
Of young offenders is to cure them of their
lawless tendencies rather than TO punish
them. Putting boy in jail for some slight
offense may be punishment. and it may be
regarded by the victim as comforting upon
him the distinction of being a tough Ii
is known that in associating with hard
ened men in jailS boys soon learn to take
a pride in being known as toughs. Such
experience as here stated has led those
who are dealing with crime and pauperism
to make special efforts TO rescue bows
TO make them recruits to the army which
makes war on society. Judge Stubbs pro-
poses TO have boys arraigned in private
room, and, with the officers who have
charge of neglected children. make an ef-
fort 70 induce responsible persons 10 look
after them. The plan may not work, but
it is we'll to try it, and to try it thoroughly

4 POLITICAL VISION.

The Baltimore Sun is the victim of cne
of those correspondents in this city who are
known as purveyors of political pipe
dreams, in that it has assumed that such
writer's sometimes deal with fact. Thus de-
ceived, the sun tells it's readers editoriaIly
that news Of an interesting political move
ment comes from Indiana" the news being
that the colored leaders in the State are
about to draw the color line politically. The
sun goes on to say that Indiana is a close
State. and that without the 30Oo0 colored
voters the Republican party would be in
hopeless minority" The Sun is further in
formed that the colored leaders propose to
The Sun is a conservative Democratic pa
per which has usually fought ex-senator
German, and it predicts at the outset that
the movement in behalf of a colored ticket
will fail and the mass of the colored voters
will continue TO vote the Republican ticket.
The Suns first and fatal mistake is in the
declaration that there are $1,000 colored
voters in Indiana. 1t has been led into
making such a declaration by taking the
statements of a correspondent who proba-
bly, knows better Once in six years, for
the purpose of apportioning members cf the
Legislature. a careful enumeration of the
voters is made. This was done within the
past few months. and the official report by
counties was published about two months
ago. This enumeration shows the number
OF colOred voters in Indiana TO be 15,272.
Now, if every one OF these 15,272 colored
voters had voted an independent ticket in
1891, 1896, 1898 and 1900 the Republicans
would have had a plurality. If no one Of
the cOlored voters i'm Indiana had voted for
MIR. Mckinley in 1900 the Republican plural
ity would have been 11,570. These two
facts-that of the number of colored voters
and the Republican pIurality-destroy all
the interest in the alleged political move
ment in Indiana.
As for the movement of colored political
leaders to form an independent party, the
Journal has never heard of it. Every year
there such reports. and often quite
number of c0lored men have voted the
Democratic ticket but in the last two cleo
tions, particularly the municipal election
the colOred voters were with the Republic
ans. The Sun itself has little hope of an in
dependent movement by colored voters
saying that only limited number of col
ored voters recognize the leadership of a
few men in their own party. The action of
the German Democracy in Maryland and
of the Democrats in other States where
they have the political power in, disfran-
chsing eolored voters by tens of thousands
is not likely to win the eolored voter to the
Democratic party or drive him from the
Republican party in States where he is al
lowed TO vote and his rights citizen are
not only protected by law, but respected.

Sarah p. Mel. Greene has produced a
new novel which is even superior to "Vesty
OF the Basins" strong praise for the first
named volume. 1t is vigorous dramatic
story of primitive life in a fishing village
on the coast of Maine; story not easy to
describe, a story as full of wit as ''Vesty."
There are strong contrasts drawn between
the simple, brave, beautiful native women
of the place and the fashionable ladies of
the world who come to summer among
them. 1t is not a book to hurry through
to get at the story, but one TO read delib-
era ately. The writer is a keen observer of
life, and she must have lived a long time
among the people of whom she writes TO
be able To portray them so well, and so to
saturate her book with the atmosphere of
the place. One can almost feel the wind

The Secret Orchard.

The scene of this novel is laid in France,
with an intermingling of pathos and
comedy and with a tragic ending. The
central character, Helen, Duchess OF Clu-
NY was mentally undeveloped, her sffec-
tions having taken precedence of her in
tellect. Without the glamour of wealth and
position she would have been considered
insufferably dull. Her husband, the Duke
of Cluny, was apparently devoted to her,
but was frequently absent. ostensibly ION
business. The men among her friends
were faithful 10 her and were united I'm
the effort to keep all unpleasantness from
her knowledge. But her women friends
and relatives found her extreme amiability
and sweetness a cause OF evaporation,
and they, having their eyes and ears wide
open, sought, but Vainly. to arouse in her
ordinary insight and observation. Helen
and her Cluny had been married twelve
years and were chidless. Helen. think

her husband, adopted a child of eight

of her friends, who read the young woman
at sight and TO the horror of the duke,
who saw in her the companion of his lat

Had Helens observing faculties been eul-

been called to the front she might have
been a more agreeable and stimulating
companion 10 her husband instead Of

sweetness. For in spite OF his descent from
the Stuarts he in no way differed from
ordinary human kind and would not have

Nevertheless, the farmers demand a tariff

Years ago, when Great Britain, with the
control of the worlds manufactures, was
confronted with the conflicting interest Of
an agriculture which could not feed its
people and manufacturers demanding free
trade because England had hundred years
lead in manufacturing. she sacrificed her
agriculture, and il has been declining ever
since. until England depends upon America
for a large part OF her food. At the same
time she has lost her monopoly in manu-
features.
The United States has no such disadvan-
tages Whatever has stimulated manufac-
turing has helped agriculture. There is
more probability now than ever that the
United States will hold its supremacy as
a producer of food. Do what they will,
both Germany and Great Britain must de-
pend upon the United States more or less
for food. England has ruined her agricul-
ture by her free-trade policy, and now
that same policy is losing the home market
to competitors in all parts of the world.
With anxiety if not alarm, England s
