THE FORUM. 



The November number was evidently 

 issued before the outcome of the recent 

 election was known since two of the lead- 

 ing articles are: "Why the Eepublicans 

 Should be Endorsed," by Chas. Dick, 

 and "Eeasons for Democratic Success," by 

 Chas A. Towne. Both are well written 

 but not of so much interest as they would 

 have been a few weeks previous. Geo. E. 

 Roberts, director of the United States 

 mint writes on "Can there be a Good 

 Trust?" Archer Brown discusses " The 

 Revival and Reaction in Iron," while the 

 advantage of having mounted infantry in 

 modern warfare is ably handled by Mau- 

 rice A Low under the title of "Four Legs 

 Instead of Two." "Bread, and Bread- 

 making at the Paris Exposition," by H.W. 

 Wiley; "The United States and the Aus- 

 tralasian Federation Compared," by Sir 

 Robert Stout, K. C. M. G. ; and " The 

 English Intelligence Department," by 

 Major Arthur Griffiths, are a few of the 

 other articles which go to make up an ex- 

 cellent number.' 



REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



In the editorial department of the Nov- 

 ember number the result of the presiden- 

 tial compaign is compared with that of 

 1896. and the following are a few of the 

 subjects taken up in connection : " The 

 Ebbing of the Free Silver Tide;" " Silver 

 in the Campaign;" "Local Politics as a 

 Factor;" "Mr. Bryan as the Paragon of 

 Statesmanship," etc. The situation in 

 England and the election in Canada are 

 also discussed in this department, which 

 is enlivened with the customary cartoons. 

 The frontispiece is an illustration of the 

 .scene at Mr. Crocker's banquet to the 



democratic candidate. Among the con- 

 tributed articles are " The Hall of Fame," 

 by Henry Mitchell MacCracken ; " The 

 Political Beginnings in Porto Rico," by 

 John Findley; "Trusts in England," by 

 Robert Donald and "The British Czar, 

 the General Elector," by W. T. Stead. 

 Two other articles which must not be for- 

 gotten are "How the Republican National 

 Committee Works for Votes," and " The 

 Management of the Democratic C a m- 

 paign." The number is one of unusual 

 interest. t
