...last number a very complimentary notice of the new journal. Although the writer of the review takes occasion to criticise mildly some minor points in the articles of the journal, the lively and trustworthy treatment of the great practical subjects, such as the account of the "Southwestern Strike" and the Knights of Labor, received due praise. Students of political economy, and especially college students, are fortunate in possessing a magazine which will give clear, reliable and concise discussions of the great economical questions. Amid the confused mass of economic literature of to-day, when superficial writers are so abundant, when...
...congratulated in producing something that is of worth to the student, when so much nowadays is apt to contain no data, only reflections. In showing how sincere and earnest the Knights are, an attitude of ardor and benevolence is created by Mr. Wright, but the details of the strike on the Missouri Pacific last spring, as told by Professor Taussig, show only too clearly the difference between theoretical and practical labor movements. Professor Taussig's account is straightforward and scholarly. The reader is not burdened here by remarks resulting from preconceived notions. The evidence is put before him clearly...

Of the two, Mr. Sempers' will appeal to the more purely literary element of the college, while Mr. Wister, by his rather colloquial style and less abstruse subject, will have more readers, though perhaps less appreciative ones.

Harvard, Foster went out at first. Henshaw made a rattling base hit and went second on a wild pitch. Edgerly made a beautiful hit which Sheppard fumbled, allowing Henshaw to score and Edgerly to reach second. A bad throw of Dann's sent Edgerly to third. Wiestling sent a long fly to Brigham which was neatly handled by him. Smith struck out, but Dann muffed the third strike, allowing Edgerly...
...third, Harvard went out in order. In the fourth, they made three runs on a three bagger by Henshaw, a two bagger by Edgerly, Wiestling's single, and a missed third strike. In the fifth, a run was made on errors. It the sixth Wiestling made a hit, went to third on a wild throw by Marble, and came in on Phillips' long drive to left, which was beautifully caught by Storrs...
