The makt et for January, 1901, opens the new year with an issue that even surpasses its predecessors in inten sity and variety of interest and in liier ary merit. The novelette, "'A Sister to Husbands," by Caroline Duer, is a utory of exceptional charm, ingenious and dis tinctive, with brisk movement, abund ant interest, and a delightful social at mosphere, in which the intricacies of of many loves are traced to a final happi ness In "Her Creditor," Emory Pottle has written a character study ol singular strength, whileCyrus Townsend Brady's 'The Wreck and the Letters," is a nar rative of real beauty, written around a plot that is new. Other notable stories are "Uncle Jim's Little Idea," an amus ing bit by Anna A. Rogers; "Thellouse of the Brain," a psychological tragedy. by Churchill Williams, and "The im possible Thing," a story bubbling with fresh humor, by Eleanor A. Hallowell. Among the other writers of excellent fiction in this number arc Elizabeth Knight Tompkins, Zoe Anderson orris, John Itegnaut Ellyson, Duflield Osborne and H. T. George. Gelett Burges?, Hayden Carruth, Frank Hoe Bitchelder, Mrs. Wilson Woodrow and many more contribute humor of many sorts, and all capital; while theio are verses of real worth from Maurice Francis Egan, Clinton Scollard, Fanny Kemble Johnson, Arthur Macy, Mabel Earl, Willis Leonard Clanahan, James Clarence Harvey, Virginia Wood ward Cloud, Elsa Barker, Samuel Win- turn Peck, Charlotte Becker and others. The magazine includes also a story in French, by Marie Petite, and an acccimt of the Japanese Geishes, bv Jason I'rench.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN ATTACKS DEMOCRATIC SENATORS. Clark Howell, editor of the Atlantic Constitution and Democratic national committeeman from Georgia, strongly defends President Rooeovelt'a Panama policy, and a-j strongly condemns tho op position being manifested by the Demo cratic senators. Mr. Howell on Saturday said : "The Panama caso is one of the kind where the fact should dictate duty rath er than sentiment, guess ss at - interna tional law and partisan considerations. What nro the facts in the cise? Colum bia committed acts of government that put in fullest jeopardy a'l tlm rights, in terests and aspirations of the people of her department of Panama. They b lieved the result would le to rob them of tho isthmian canal and doom them to a future of inconsequence and jioverty. They frankly and in ample season warn ed the authorities at Bogota that if that sacrifice was demanded of them, they would secede and set up an independent government.

In the Panama case we took five daye In which to learn that the newly proclaimed republic was unopposed and in full control of the jroiintry by consent of its inhabitants. "What was tho United Statoa to do in such a case, with its obligations as to the Panama transit and neutrality upon it? "Our marines were landed to do our duty in that one respect only and to ex ercise that right to preserve them was the only office jerformed by our forces on and near the isthmus. "Suppose we withdraw our recognition and reject the treaty? What will be our position then, as viewed by the other governments of Europe and America that also have recognized the republic of Panama. Are we to do this ridicu lous thine, abandon our treaty rights in Panama, give up the canal there, with draw our guardianship of rail transit now going on and go hunting for terms with ieople who would be fools if they did not profit themselves tremendously by our predicament? "Let it be admitted that all that has been quoted from Senator Hoar and from Senator Daniel ami other of his -outheru colleagues ie true and yet no case is made that involves connivance with rebellion on the isthmus or a sac rifice of the national honor in dealing favorably with the new republic through the ratification of the pending treaty."
