The views of the president on the tariff question are well known and there is no doubt that the edge that he would stand for no "tar- Iff monkeying" has restrained a good many doubtful Republican members jfrom entering into Democratic alli- ances in the hope of securing favors for non-action. The president has taken the bull by the horns more than once, as for mstance when he gave the Democratic members to under- stand that he would not be forced in- to recognizing their patronage claims by their opposing, the measures to which he was personally committed, It is a'pretty good thing, when im- portant legislation is pending, to have a president in the White Houso who cannot be Senator William E. nois, i3 in favor of local selfcgovern- ment for the District of At a recent meeting of th Metropol- itan A.

The Democrats have about given up the hope of getting the Republicans in a muddle on the tariff question by their intended means of offering all sorts of compromise measures that ment, but I can't because they have no say in the matter. Anything wrong with the sidewalk you want an alley repaired, or a lamppost erected there is no remedy unless can bring so- cial influence to bear on the city that you didn't elect, nor can't re-elect."

And all the fair-minded people of the coun- try say 'God bless the Senator Mason has always been a true friend of the Afro-American race.

The "color line" has been drawn by the American Federation of Labor at Scranton. The committee reported a resolution compelling all local unions affiliated with the federation to join the central labor bodies in their respective localities. The Southern delegates protested so vigorously that it was decided to drop the matter: It served, however, to disclose a queer condition of affairs. The Southern people have declared that field is the proper field for the Afro-American, now these same people say the race shall have no chance in that direction. The Afro-American is to be given no recognition in the higher callings organized labor will not allow him to work as an artisan? If he becomes a criminal and charge on the state, who is to blame? i.

The New York Journal, in a recent issue, published ax number of letters from prominent white and colored men of the South, giving their views by request of the Journal, on the subject of Negro education, among them Bishop Dudley (colored), of Kentucky who touched a vital point when he said a Negro "whose intelligence had been sharpened by the training of the schoolroom, but whose moral nature is undeveloped, becomes but a more dangerous animal." There is evidence of the fact.Griffin (Ga) News. The Southern papers are always ready to grab at anything reflecting on the Afro-American. The statement of Bishop Dudley, who, by the way, is not "colored," unless he has changed recently, is just as applicable to a Caucassjan as to an The "solution of the trust submitted by the president bids fair to be the one that the public will demand as the most practical and' effective temedy to be found under tbe law of the land.

Abraham Lincoln and the Men of His Time. By Robert H.

Browne, M. D. 2 large volumes. $3.50. Jennings Pye, Chicago.

Dr. Browne is especially well qualified to write on this interesting subject, having at his commztod a fund of knowledge acquired from a long and constant acquaintance with the The Great Commoner and The Little Giant during the formative period of their political careers. The author. Dr. R.

H. Browne, appears to have lived as a boy in Springfield at the time when Lincoln was first coming into prominence as a lawyer and a politician. The writer's enthusiasm for his theme is natural, and the reader easily falls in with it. Dr. Browne would seem to have a somewhat remarkable verbal memory.

The reader is apt to be surprised at the fullness with which long conversations of many years ago are recalled. There are Ihose who do possess ROSCOE CONKLIX RUCE. Roscoe Conklin-Bruce, son 8f late Senator B. K. Bruce, has elected class orator by the Harvard senior class, defeating His white opponent by a vote of two to one.

Some Southerners voted against him on account of color, but this made votes among the Northerners. such tenacity of memory for words and conversational interchanges. A characteristic of this history of Abraham Lincoln is the of its accountofof so many otherr notable men the time witu whom Lincoln came into more or less close relations. This imparts its own interest and value to the book. Of necessity Douglas eomes in for a large share of attention, and he is, on the whole, generously estimated.

The moral the profoundly religious element in Lincoins eharacter is carefully rescognized. Jt analytical penetrating, and work i exhaustive in what said and did in their earnest zeal and contention.

Jacobs Mr. Taylor's Alaskan tour was the conventional but beautiful one made annually by thousands of tourists, beginning at Seattle and ending at the base of the great Muir- glacier in Icy Bay, with incidental glimpses of Sitka, Wrangel, and other Alaskan towns. But there is one portion that still has the elemerit of novelty, even though it was made by railway. This is the journey over the White Pass from Skagway to Lake Bennett, by way of the new railroad, recently completed at a cost of $2,000,000. Part of the way through solid granite by means of enormous or in a charge which fairly made the sway and which left titanic marks of destruction all along the Mr.

Taylor thus describes the magnificent'scenes now open to the tourist in this part of Alaska: We mount higher and higher, drawn by two powerful engines, whose boilers seem ofttimes about to burst with their strenuous efforts. In the distance the charming waters of Lynn Canal are visible, and the town of Skagway, nestling picturesquely at the foot of her mountain. It is impossible to give an idea of the wild grandeur and beauty of the views above, below and around us. New visions of harmony, of peaceful loveliness, of rugged defiance, of sublime majesty constantly pass before our wondering eyes. We say at each point, "Surely, nothing can surpass this!" And, while we are jtet speaking, a glory bursts upon us that transcends them all.

It is utterly vain to attempt any description of these scenses. They are beyond all feeble efforts of tongue or pen. Mr. Taylor is an excellent photographer, as is shown in the exceedingly good picture of the Yellowstone canyon and fails which serves as a frontispiece to his book. The volume is profusely illustrated with excellent and interesting reproductions of photographs.

It takes the subjects concerning which young women everywhere are so ignorant, and, lifts them into the exalted place they must ever hold ia the minds of the intelligent and pure. No other class are so entirely without information as most brides, young wives and young mothers. Three thousand years ago the inspired writer declared "the people are destroyed for lack of konwledge," and the statement is still tre to-day. This book to young wives and mothers should have been written centuries ago, and no time should now be lost In bringing it into the hands of every young woman of marriageable age in the land. It tells every young wife just what she needs to know, and saves from the blind blundering and sad mistakes which have wrecked so many lives.

It places the whole subject in the realm of pure and sacred thought and contemplation. A series of books upon personal and social purity of which this book is the concluding volume, constitutes the most marked advance ever made in what Frances E. Willard pronounced "the latest and greatest crusade." These books will do effective work in.

a field too long neglected. Men and women, voung and old, everywhere, need the information and inspiration which these books impart. This book to young wives, by Mrs. Drake, is a precious jewel in a splendid setting. For Its writing its author received a prize of one thousand dollars, but everv young woman, who reads the book will become the possessor of knowledge more valuable than rubies.

Law. By Julia Helen HIGHER LAW. STHE ne rn By Twells, author of "A Triumph of Des- tiny." 285 pags. $1.50. Philadelphia: Henry T.

Coates Co. This is a dramatic novel of New York society life, written by one who is familiar with the life of "the smart set" She writes with great power, her story turning upon a uestion 0f conscience, and holds the reader attention and interest throughout. Lester Omerot and Daphne Wmthrop are both lovers of horses'. They meet at a reception and the result is an appointment to ride. Her reckless equestrianism frightens him and he recognizes that his anxiety is born of love.

He visits her, but she avoids his attentions, telling her confidante, the Countess Von Holstein, that she dare not accept them because the shadow of a sin rests upon her which if confessed would result in repulsion and horror. She determines to enter a convent in Italy which consents to receive converts and Ormerot, mystified, jealous, very nearly kills one Huntington Rodney, who speaks lightly of Daphne. He reaches the steamer in time to prevent her sailing and demands to know the, secret that is separating them. She confesses that in a fit of mad, unreasoning impulse, she had, wdUen a very young woman, murdered her husband, but was never suspected of the deed He assures her that he has practicaftv committed the same crime. "By our equality in wrong we are absolved, beloved, through the ordinance that makes our unity a world, a life and a god." Their eyes met as they had never met before in an infinite sympathy of entire understanding.

The awfulness of this bond between them creates a pure and lasting affection, proving there is a higher law than the Constitution.

KAREZZA. Karezza. Ethics of Marriage. By Alice B. Stockham, M.

author of Tokology. $1. Stockham Publishing Chicago. Karezza is written for married men and women who have lofty aims in life, who are pure in heart and who seek best conditions for offspring. It gives a high ideal to parental "functions and pleads for justice to the unborn child.

Karezza elucidates a theory of marital relations, which leads to individual growth' and a closer bond of union, the practice of which at all times gives complete control of fecundating power. Every child has a right to a parentage of thoughtful preparation, to the best that can be given him. In Karezza. this right of the unborn child is fulfilled. Karezza controverts the prevailing idea of baseness and degradation associated with the sexual nature, and aims to lead individuals to a higher development of themselves through a knowledge, of their creative powers.

Karezza is the product of knowledge and experience, and its teachings will lead individuals to purer lives. TRAVELS IN TARTARY. THIBET AND CHINA. Travels in Tartary, Thibet and China. By M.
