A Search After Ultimate Truth. by
Aaron Martin Crane. Lothrop, Lee
and Shepard Co. Net $50. Post
paid SLIGO.
The thousands OF readers Of that
great book. Right and Wrong Think
ing" need no introduction to Mr.
Crane whose new book is exactly
what it's title states, although q critic
of high rank who reviewed the work
in manuscript declared that it was not
search for truth, but its discovery.
1t begins with an attempt to find
q sure and enduring foundation for
all reality, and finds that foundation
in God. Next, the search is for
clear understanding of Gods indis-
putable qualities. Following this. is
a discussion of propositions which the
author calls essentials. On these is
based discussion of the non existence
of materiality and error followed by a
discussion of creation from the stand
point of the accounts in Genesis and,
John-a most interesting interpreted
ton.
In the progress of the book are
elaborated the essential characteristics
of man, and the mutual relations of
men to each other and to God. Then
follows a discussion of the right of
every man to freedom. the mutual re-
lation Of oneness existing between man
and man and between man and God.
the whole concluding with a chapter
which, by independent data. incon-
testably and triumphantly proves
that man is immortal.
The book draws from all sources,
Is thoroughly reverential, and is per-
meated throughout by sound reason
ing and unflinching logic. 1t is Il
veritable guide to the science of life
and living

Snali the hour be fraugilt,
"hat precious most shall We count?
Not the flame of the sword.
Nor the wealth We have stored
In perishable things of earth
Not the way We have trod
With the intellect broad
Ihough that were of precious worth.
Nor the gain We achieved
Through the hearts we have grieyed
And left unhelped by the way.
Nor the laurel of fame,
When, for worldly acclaim.
We toiled in the heat and the fray.
All. no. it's not these

When life sinks low in the west:
But the passing sweet thought
OF the good We have wrought.
The Saddened lives we have blest
And the love we have won,
And the love reckoning on
From his islands far and dim
Love out of the light,
Shining into the night,
The night which leadeth to Him. ~

The Tariff and High Prices.
(American Metal Market.)


1t is well to get down to concrete
applications. Suppose the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff did not reduce duties as it
should have done. and suppose that
the present trouble is the high cost of
living We find by the index num-
bers that commodities are higher than
ever. higher than in 1867; well, iron
and steel prices are much lower all
along the line than in 1867. If the
new traiff did not reduce as it should
have done why are iron and steel
prices so much lower? If it did re-
duce rates so much in iron and steel
why so much complaint, when iron
and steel monopoliZed more than half
the attention in the tariff talk? The
Indiana and Massachusetts incidents
show that the people are doing some
thing, but it is question whether they
have really begun thinking yet. They
have done enough to show that they
are dissatisfied, but it is a question
whether they know what they ought
to he dissatisfied about.

Full of cheer.

Beside him during all those weary weeks,
Yet covered not. nor crinsed'
But like a man
Smiled while he worked.
Kind? His life, his love. his works

Noble? If scorn of petty things,

Make for nobility,
Then was that generous soul
Noble indeed.

Senator Lodge has brought to light
and is causing to be republished an old
document of the Twenty fourth Con-
gress which shows that in 1886 the
price Of sugar was IA cents a pound,
flour So a barrel, and Illuminating oil
81 per gallon On the other hand, la
Dor was paid only 80 cents Il day. This
may comfort the complainer of the
present high cost of living. The truth
is that every one is better off now,

prices of living, than they were 80
years ago Notwithstanding the COM
