"Whnl motive, i i'lstrnce, has prompted Andrew i' u. ili to pause from his customary w uk ot i utMng coupons nnd founding llbi, iiIps. and to enter with nil his might nnd resources Into a fight against the peace treaty? Andrew only a short time ago was a howling ex pansionist. Was It patriotism, pine and undcllled. which put his millions at the commtud or tho Inttlcuers ngninst the Amctican eovcrnnunt? We believe with tho Sun that the success of the pcate tieaty should not end -this matter. Theto has been n. polltlrtil condition which bars on Its sutfucu Bttong symptoms of an Inter national standnl. If corrupt men and cotiupt means have had any part in these pt entires, contributing to the bloodshed nt Manila, thu power ot tho government should be put forth to the utteimost In an attempt to bring the culprits to tho bar of Justice. Public oi Inlon, which, in sheer amazement, could not for some time romp'ohend why the treaty was fought so bitterly, will now demand an nccountlng. This Is no ordinary affair of ea.-v-KnIng pol iticians, but a frightful blunder or a tiltne the i rime of hlzh treason. In set! the ptobe.

To name a mnjoilty of these would oc cup, more space In detail than we can nftbid to give. Hut In singling out a few of them, we may mention the "Life ot Prime Bismarck," or rather such authentic glimpses of the career of that extraotdlnaty man as it was politic to ghe to the world at the pres t nt moment. Hlsmarcl: was not al ways friendly to the Institutions of the United States. He was constitutional ly a monarchist. He had a supremo contempt for democracy, which he confounded with demagogy. Ho could not undcistand it, in fact, he never tried to do so His prepossessions vvre all the other wav, None the less the man who welded the G rman rm pite Into homogeneity, who found tho Fatherland little mote than a geo graphical expiesslon on the map of 13u tope, dlslntegiatd airong the conflict ing ptetenslons of a congeries of seml independent kings and ptlncclings and solidified It Into one of tho mightiest coiifedeiated nations that ever took rise in the history of the world, has peculiar chainis for the student of comparative national politics. Perhaps no lesi interesting as a statesman, cettalnly Infinitely more loveable as a man, was Mr. Gladstone. Iord Itosebeiy said tint It v.ould take a joint btock company to write Mr. Gladstone's life. John Morlev, how eet, has undertaken the task single handed. Hefoie Mr. Motley has placed before the world a full length porttait of the stent patliamentatlan, the more Intimate friends of Mr. Gladstone have nat been ldb To mention but two of the monograrhs In the Albright library we have a character sketch by James Hryco, who was Mr. Gladstone's Inti mate friend and colleague, and one by Sir William Hamilton, his piivate sec lettiy, each in its way critical, dis passionate nnd affectionate. Two oth er great niigllslurpn whose careers were so divergent, yet so chnncteiis tic In their spheres hae their lines de puted In four stout olumes which may be had nt the Albilrht library. The biography of Catdlnnl Manning, which his Fiiccessor. Cartlinnl Vaughan, the present aichbi-hop of Westminster, ptonounced a "cthne," is there. Wheth er the revelations of a biographer ate ctlminnl or Justifiable depends in a great nieasi'te upon the nredclietions and pattinlltv ot the contemporatlea of the subject. At any rate, the life of C'atdlnal Manning is one of the mot tlttablv objective contiibutlons to the polemical and theological literature of the ago. Lotd Tennyson's life by his sou is, as It should be, pre-eminently discreet. We can undo: stand Ten nson better by Its perusal. We may see in a measure the operations of his g'ltlits unfolding In those exquisite ly iks which have made his name immor tal. You may find on the same shelves another valuable addition to the bio giaphlcal liteintute of tho day In tii "Life of Clmiles Stewatt Parnell," bv Han v O'Hrlen. Tho olume speaks for Itudt. Mr. Painell wps a mvsteiloua nun The devolution of his life pie sents all the bewlldcrlrg inlet lacings of a haiblnger of nntlenal hope and the desolating climax of a disowned prophet. In the literature of tra-vel, we must give tho first place to the two beautiful volumes by Henry Savage 1-nndor, "In the Fot bidden Land." It seems almost the ether day that we lead In the tele graphic columns the first meagio tid ings of tho tortute of this Intrepid tiav eller In Thibet, the mysterious land of the mysterious Lamas. Thu flist vol umo nt Mr. Candor's tiavcls will per haps be found disappointing, maybe not tluough any fault of tho imirattve, for it is sufficiently otlKlr.nl. but he causo we are anxious to comu to the details of those oxcruclatinff untitles which the author underwent. Another wotlc of travel, less exciting, but no less Interesting fiom tho ethnographi cal standpoint, Is Captain Diir-outi' cn tnitulnlng olume "In tho Land of the Pigmies," thise mysterious Lllllputluns who were first brought under the no tice of civilization by our own coun tryman, Paul du Chnlllu.

McPherson of tho Dauphin county common pleas court shall bo appointed to succeed Judge Itutler on the bench of tho United States district court at Philadelphia, as now seems probable, It will be recog nized by every lawyer In Pennsylvania anl by mnny laymen as a promotion pie-emlnently deserved. It is currently reported that Hon. Samuel J. Harrows, of Hoston, now rep resenting the Tenth Massachusetts dis trict In congress, will soon be appoint ed Librarian of Congress. Mr. Har rows Is said by those who know him to have exceptional qualifications for the plnce. The legislature of Maine has unani mously "pointed with pride" to tho record of Hon. William F. Fryo In tho United .States senate during tho war with Spain and well it may but con cerning Senator Halo It is silent. Yet Hale Is tho last man It re-elected. It Is probable that General Miles will not be seriously disturbed by the cen sure of the War Investigation com ml'tslon. That commission could not tiavel far on the Impression It has made. With the fifteen new battleships afloat, tho United States can feel en couraged. In spite of timid EKntlmen tallsts, to continue to assumo new tesponslbllltles along the coast at least. From all nccounts tho averasre Fili pino can be made "good" only by ih prociss 'hat haa been applied to fie noble red man of the West. Agtilnaldo will doubtless soon be made nware that he Is entirely too joung to pose as the father of his country. The Ygorotes of nntl-Quaylsm are evidently becoming tired of the ma chinutlons of tho Tagalos at Harrls burg. m Miss Jessie Schlev Is about tho only enthusiast w ho has. not been heard from on the subject of "Imperialism." It strikes us that tho licking of Quay consumes a great deal of time. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally Horoscope Drawn by Ajncchus, Tho Tribuno Astrologer.
