will be used by Greason's counsel in
an endeavor to secure his pardon or
commitment to life imprisonment.
We hope both will be saved from death,
not because she is a white woman, nor
because he is an Afro-American man,
ut because both are human beings

many of thej petitioners we are une-

Samuel Greason will escape it.
Th Creek Indians have "caught on"
to the popular fad in this country and
are "drawing the color line" on Afro-
Indians who are among them, and ob-
ject to them as members of the coun-
cil, and have separate schools. Not
long since a Chinaman in New York
drew the color line on an Afro-Ameri-
can real estate broker in his chop suey
joint, charged him $2.50 for a 25-cent
order of the stuff and then hit him
with a club because he would not pay
the price. The police judge read the
riot act to the celestial and fined him
$5 Ye gods and little fishes, where is
this oolorphobia fad going to end?
In a recent speech in the house of
representatives, Mr. Thomas of North
Carolina said: "With the exception
of the race question we are ready to
co-operate with the people of the North
in the solution of all questions affect-
ing the honor and prosperity of the
country, in a spirit of patriotism."
Mr. Thomas let the cat out of the
bat The South is mad on the alleged
race problem, and will not discuss it
in a patriotic way, or any other way,
except the one unjsut. un-Christian
\vy in which it has alwavs done.
WHIST ONCE A CRUDE GAME.
First Known as "Triumph," Whence
the Word "Trumps" Is Derived.
Whist was first called "triumph," a
name which was afterward corrupted
into "trump." Tne eighteenth century
saw whist in its primitive form, the
whole object of the game being to win
tricks .by leading high cards or by
trumping.
Then came the era of Hoyle, which
may be said to have lasted from 1730
to 1860, and taught players to think
not only of. their own hands but of
the other hands also, and to take ad
vantage of the positions of the cards
in them. Hoyle also taught that
trumps might be mere profitably em
ployed than in simple trumping and
showed that they might be used to
disarm the adversary and to obtain
secondary advantage in trick-making
by other suits of less apparent power.
It was not until 1860 that the philo
sophical era can be said to have be
gun, and the origin of the new move
ment was a knot ot young men of
Cambridge. England, known as the
Little Whist sc,hool This body kept
records of its games, but no one
thought of making the data known un
til 1861. Coherence in the system of
play was still wanting, and this was
supplied in 1864 with Dr. Pole's essay
on the theory of the modern scientific
whist.

His Blindness an Advantage.
The London Chronicle relates that
during a fog a military man, advanced
in years, lost his way completely in the
nocturnal vapor. Bumping against a
stranger, he explained his misfortune
and gave his address. "I know it quite
well." said the stranger, "and I will
take 3-ou there." It was some dis
tance, but the guide never hesitated
for a moment on the whole route.
"This is your door," he said at last, as
a house loomed dimly before them.
"Bless my soul," said the old gentle
man, "so it is! But how on earth
have you been able to make your way
through such a fog?" "I know every
stick and stone in this part of Lon-
don." said the stranger, quietly, "for
I am blind!" How to Straighten Paper.
Who has not been annoyed by blue

having been rolled for some time, re
fused to lie flat when in use? And
yet it is a very simple matter to
straighten the paper so that it will
give no trouble. Hold the paper by
the corners or the ends and draw

A. POLITICAL HISTORY O SLAVERY.
A Political History of Slavery. By Wil
liam Henry Smith. With an introduction
by Whitelaw Reid. Tw volumes. 8vo.
Net. $4.50. By mail, $5.00. New York:
G. Putnam's Sons.
"A Political History of Slavery," by
Win. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story
of the controversy over the slavery ques
tion, from the early days of the 18th cen
tury to the close of the Reconstruction
period in the United States.
There is an introduction by Whitelaw
Reid, which tells of Mr. Smith's career
and which gnes quite an extended criti
cism ot these two very instructive vol
umes.
Mr. Reid says: "This Political History
is written with the fullness of knowledge
that comes from having seen many of the
events from the inside as they occurred,
from a lifelong familiarity with and study
of the entne range of the subjects, and
fiom access to much unpublished infor
mation, in the papers of President Hayes
and Governor Brough, in the records of
the state office held during \a critical part
of the period, and in constant personal
communication with some of the actors."
Again: "As time ?oes on fuller justice
will be done, in the history of the move
ments by which a free people enlarged the
bounds of freedom, to commun-ities and
to leading men that relied upon typical
Anglo-Saxon mqans for the correction of
wrongs and the better development of
Anglo-Saxon institutionsto Horace
Greeley first among public educators, to
Chase and Seward, Stanton and Welles,
first amo ng legislators and cabinet min
isteis, and finally to the peer, if not the
superior of them all, and certainly the
most capable politician of the list, Abra
ham Lincoln."
In Chapter I, the author says: "If there
is one thing clearly established, it is that
slavery was deprecated by the men who
formed the Constitution who, recogniz
ing that such an institution was inconsis
tent with Christian civilization, inconsis
tent with the great principles of civil lib
erty for which the colonies had contended,
and which constitute the basis of our Re
public, refrained from inserting in that
great charter a name so repulsive to free
dom W must conclude that they were
percipient witnesses to the public senti
ment of that day. There was no state
free from the taint of slavery and the
feeling that it was injurious to society
was in no sense dependent upon sectional
lines. Its ultimate extinction was gener
ally confidently expected: emancipation
was to be the rule. This came early north
of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable
to suppose that if there had been no inhi
bition of the African slave trade, emanci
pation, would have followed in Delaware,
Maryland. North Carolina. Kentucky and
Tennessee."
"Opposition to the institution of slavery
arose from religious convictions as to its
sinfulness or from economic and social
policies Th resistance of those who
with Mi Jeffeison condemned it because
of its destructive influence became as
impotent as his, or succumbed to the vio
lence of political foices while that hav
ing its source in religious feelings played
an important part in the creation of a
third party. Th Society of Friends led all
other denominations in the employment

slavery, though there were not wanting
outspoken utterances in the T.esbyterian
Baptist and Methodist churches at an
early day. especially in Ohio, Kentucky
and Tennessee."
"Some years ago one who had been
conspicuous as a leader in the anti-slav
ery contest endeavored to show the, un
faithfulness of current history in dealing
with the genesis of modern abihtionism,

CIVIL WAR TIMES
Civil War Times. By Daniel Walt
Howe, aulhor of the Puritan Republic.
S Fp 421. 50. Indianapolis: Dobbs
Mfirill Co.
The war of '61-5 will never ceaseat
least in the present generation, to be a
perennial and never failing topic ot ab
soibing inteiest. This is so. because it
was a war of giants because ma ny ot
those giants still survive its vicissitudes
its "hair breadth escapes, and the Immi
nent deadly breach" its long and dread
ful marches its Gettysburg and Chicka
maugas because the finale of that con
flict profoundly influenced the civilizations
of the world because its echoes still re
erberate in all the various activities of
American life.
Because of these things the author's
volume is interesting. It can be read
with profit by any one and many inci
dents of the great strife which has hith
erto remained unwritten, Is brought forth
by Mr. Howe.
One of the most interesting chapters
In the volume is one dealing with the re
lation of the Confederacy toward the "Ne-
gro Soldier." Th author tells us. that
nearly every important Confederate com
mander favored the enlistment of black
soldiers: that the matter was finally de
bated in the Confederate Senate, and the
bill authorising the enlistment of Negro
soldiers, was defeated by but one vote
that of Senator Hunter. That when the
desperate circumstances of the Confed
eracy became so visible that the leaders
saw the doom of Richmond and the
"cause." a draft order was issued to force
the black soldier to fight under the Con
federate flag, but that before it could be
made effective, the fall of Richmond, and
the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand.
This chapter is especially interesting at
under its banner.
There are other very interesting chap
ters in the book. Th style is clear, unin
volved and natural, and the author has
written instructively.
HISTORY O THE COMMUNE O 1S71.

The Commune of 1871 was tbj culmina

PW^P
strategists Von Moltke.
In reading certain Chapters of this book
one might easily imagine that the revolt
ing cruelties of the Revolution were again
being enacted in Paris and elsewhere
throughout the country.
The events which fed up to the war
with Germany are thus described by the
author:
"Bismarck prepared the war, Napoleon
III. wanted it, the great bourgeoise looked
on. They might have stopped it by an
earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented
himself with a grimace. saw in this
war our certain ruin he knew our terrible
infetioritv in everything he could have
united the Left, the tiers-parti, the jour
nalists have made palpable to them the
folly of the attack, and supported by this
strength of opinion, have said to the
Tuileries. to Paris if needs be, ''Wa is
impossible we shall combat it as trea-
sop."
"Poor Fiance! Who will save thee?
The humble, the poor, those who for six
years contended for thee with the Empire.
"While the upper classes sell the nation
for a few hours of rest, and the liberals
seek to feather their nests under the
empire, a handful of men, without arms,
unprotected, rise up against the still all
powerful despot. On the one hand young
men who for% the bourgeoise have gone
over to the people, faithful children of
1789, resolved to continue the work of
the Revolution on the other hand work
ingmen unite for the study and conquest
of the rights of labor. In vain the em
pire attempts to split their forces, to se
duce the workingmen."
The author then follows up with a de
scription of the terrific political struggle
between the contending factions whicr
flnally burst forth in all the horrors of tht
Commune.
Paris, Marseilles, Toulouse and Narbon
were soon to be converted into veritable
human slaughter houses, in this fratricidal
struggle which for madness and un
checked violence finds few counterparts
in the historj' of the human family.
Many new e\entsthat is events which
have hitherto been obscure to the student
of that period are brought forward by the
author, in his work which considered
either from a literary or historical view
point is an achievement of no inconsid
erable merit.

Officers," etc., and Lecturer in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and Haverford
College. Cloth 12mo, 336 pages. Price,
$1.25. American Book Company, New
York, Cincinnati, and Chicago.
This volume, while designed especially
as a text-book for Commercial High
Schools and the Commercial Courses of
Colleges, is equally suited for the general
reader. It is a brief, practical treatise
on the Theory of Money, the Practice
and Usages of Banking, and the Princi
ples of Finance. Th author describes
the best banking practice of the day. and
adds those legal principles which refer-to
the topics taken up. This is the first
book of its scope, filling a place between
treatises on methods of bank bookkeep
ing and works on the theory and history
of money and banking. Dr. Bolles is an
authority on the subject, and presents
the essential principles in a clear and
concise manner. This book will appeal
alike to those who intend to devote
themselves to the business of banking, to
those who are thus engaged, and to
those who are studying the history and
theories of banking.

Dr. Abbott made the acquaintance of

mate friend of his from that time forward.
attended Dr. Beccher's church in
Brooklyn, and is thus well qualified to
give an outline of the character of the
great preacher. Th book is therefore
not so much a history of the life of
Beecher as it is a sketch of his life and
character as he appeared to Dr. Abbott.
The career of Beecher as an anti-slavery
reformer before and during the civil War
period, he tells in five chapters, full of
historical matter of the utmost value. Of
especial importance is the chapter on Mr.
Beecher anti-slavery campaign in Eng
land in 1863. leached London in the
autumn of that year from a season on the
continent, his intention being to rest be
fore Failing for New York. Bu fate or
dered otherwise. At that time the sym
pathv of the English people, more espe
cially the aristocratic and moneyed class
es, was o\erwhelmingly in favor of the
South, and the man who dared to speak
in behalf of the American cause "was
sine to invite every species of insult and
indigniw." This sympathy for the South
and hatred of the North had, at the time
of Mr. Beecher's arrival, assumed alarm
ing proportions, and rumors were afloat
to the effect that the British government,
in all probability .would be forced by pub
lic sentiment ..o intervene in the struggle
then going foi'vard in America in behalf
of the South. Such was the state of feel
ing when Dr. Eeecher reached England.
The Americans residing in London were,
of course, greatly alarmed over such a
prospect, and after much trouble, per
suaded Dr. Beecher to ma ke a lecturing
tour through England, speaking in behalf
of the Federal cause. By this they hoped
to counteract the work of agents of the
Confereracy who were then seduously fan
ning the flame of British enmity by their
speeches and publications. An other man

ANTISEMITISM.

Translated from tne French. Svo. Pp

ternational Library Publishing Co.
Recent events in Russia have given
this book a peculiar timeliness. It is a
translation from the French, and its
pages must have been written many
months before those outbreaks gave a
most painful interest to the Jewish ques
tion. Th author is himself a Hebrew,
and subject to all the odium that is im
plied in the' title to his book, but this
circumstance does not seem to have bi
ased his judgment in the forming of his
opinions. Th case is certainty stated
with great candor, and the blame is dis
tributed with fairness. Th fault is found
to be not all on the part of the Gentile
world, but the Israelite himself is char
ged with having brought mu ch of the
trouble to his people by manifest short
comings.
The treatment given the subject is his
toiical. In successive chapters the re
lations between Jews and Gentiles are
traced from the earliest times Perhaps
the reader will be most surprised to
learn how much of proselyting has been
carried on reciprocally between the He
brews and their neighbors. From this
has resulted a greater mixture of race
than Jews would, perhaps, willingly ad
mit. Th author does not believe in race
distinctions whether these be founded up
on language, shape of the head, or color
of the skin. So long, however, as the
opinion prevails that races are distinct
and that there is superiority on the one
part and inferiority on the other part
there is likely to be trouble between Jew
and Gentile as well as between black and
white. There are too ma ny illustrative
examples of this in the current history
of this country, and this book can be
read with profit by many who are called
upon to decide questions daily arising
here.
