The North American Review for February 

 opens with a symposium in which six promi- 

 nent theologians, representing as many relig- 

 ious denominations, give expression to their 

 views upon the question of the "Revision of 

 Creeds." Prof, Alexander Winchell, in an 

 article entitled " The Experiment of Univer- 

 sal Suffrage," institutes a profound inquiry 

 into the essential conditions of stable popular 

 government, which he finds -to be, substan- 

 tially, virtue and intelligence; but these con- 

 ditions, he maintains, are absolutely unat- 

 tainable under our existing political system, 

 where an electorate either ignorant or vicious, 

 or both, by the mere force of superior num- 

 bers, practically nullifies the suffrages of the 

 better and wiser portion of the people, w hose 

 right to control the government of the com- 

 monwealth is grounded in the very nature of 

 things. Bishop McQuaid writes of "The 

 Decay of Protestantism," and in essaying to 

 prove his thesis, makes a very adroit use of 

 admissions of the protestant writers. "The 

 Political Situation " is the joint title of two 

 articles, the one by Horatio Seymour, the 

 other by Geo. S. Boutwell, who offer their 

 respective views upon the causes of the recent 

 overthrow of the Republican parl}^ An ar- 

 ticle by Dr. D. A. Sargent, on " Physical Ed- 

 ucation in Colleges," treats a subject of prime 

 importance to the welfare of the youths in 

 our higher educational institutions. Finally, 

 there are two articles on '■ The Standard Oil 

 Company," Senatcr Camden of West Virginia 

 defending tha' corpoiation agsinst its assail- 

 ants, and John C. Welch setting forth the 

 reasons for condemning it as a dangerous 

 monopoly. Published at 30 Lafayette Place, 

 New York.
