"a Magnificent Conception, wonderfully
carried out

The necessity Of a popular medium Cor
the representation OF the productions OF
orr great art lists, has always been r"c":;
nizrd. and MANY attempts lave 1"rA
made to meet the want. The successive
failures which so invariily followed each
attempt in this country to establish an
art Journal. did net prove the luiitr-
cucc of the people Of America to the
claims Of high art So Soon rs . rron"r
apprcciaticn Of the want and IN ability
to meet il were shown, the pi'hic at
once raic'' with enthusiasm to its SIP
port. and the result was a great artistic
and commercial triumph--Ttii: HLnlNE.
THE ALDlNE, while issued with AL the

ofp,,rr, light and graceful literature: and

Although each succeeding number affords
fresh pleasure to its friends. the real
value and beauty Of the ALilNE will be
most appreciated after it has been bound

Journals may claim superior cl,"apncss. as
compared with II ais Of q similar class,
the AlDlNE is a unique and original con-

must lie taken in no narrow sense. True

it does not conIinr itself entirely I" the

Horace GreeIey's Warning.

The OLD veterans who voted for
Greeley, believe with him that one of
the. greatest dangers to be feared from
a. Democratic triumph are the enormous
claims that will be presented for slaves
emancipated and property destroyed.
He said in the most emphatic terms
before his nomination, and this too
after a Journey down south, that two
thirds of the lnen with nine tenths of
the women, who formerly composed the
slave holding caste, would this day give
half their houses and land to have their
slaves back again, just as they possessed
them in 1850. ''They consider them
selves robbed, says Greeley, "by the
emancipation, and would like tn cir
property back again, or ats uuyue al
some equivalent. x They propose to
renew the fight, but not with gun and
sabre. They expect TO regain as Demo
Gratis, through the elections, the power
they lost as rebels through the war >
This was written June 18th, 1871, and
is as true to-day as it was then The
slave holding caste has gained control
Of the House Of Representatives which
swarms with Confederate officers
Washington has been captured through
the ballot box, or one STRONGHOLD has.
What they could not do with "gun and
sabre" they have done Through cleo
tlons. : while the busy, money-making,
Woodworking men Of the North have
been absent from the polls, building up
cities and states. Southern men, on
the other hand, are politicians, more
devoted to politics than business, and
but for the great natural resources there
the States would be in worse con
dltion than they are. The plain duty
that the thoughtful business men Of
the North owe to themselves, and to
their brethren at the Sodth, is to vote
down the party that will pay these
Southern claims or in any way counte-
nance them, and every Greeley man,
every honest man, every tax payer,
every person who earns his own living,
and believes that all Southern men
should earn their living, viii be likely
to heel Horace Greeley's warning, and
vote the Republican ticket this fall,
and keep voting it until Republican
President and Congress are again,

Our Frugal RefOrmers.

Reformers are attempting to make
the people believe that the present ad-
ministratior is wonderfully economical.
Gov. Taylor's State Prison warden
was going to make that self-support-
ing institution What was the result of
first years operations ? Just this, the
Legislature appropriated S46. 34l 81 to
keep this "self-supporting" Reform
institution alive. Further, after rigid
investigation of Republican manage
ment it was found that the Prison was
honestly, and, it is alleged, more eco
nomlcally managed than by Reformers.
They don't talk much about Prison
affairs.
There is another thing that the Re
formers are silent about. They fail to
give Gov. Taylor credit for discover
ing that the Constitution was not
abolished He was evidently afraid
the judges in Wisconsin would think
it was, so he employed very able law
yers to tell the courts that it was still
in full force, and corporations were
subject to legislative control.
The result is that it has cost over
twelve thousand dollsrs extra in one
department and may cost twice that
sum for all we know, as the bills are
not yet all reported.

WE ARE among those who see the
better days returning-not at rail
road pace, but with slow and healthy
tread, and though that return may not
come until it accompanies the centen-
NAL year, it is at least some consolation
to be able to predict with confidence
that the days of the depression Of our
commercial world are numbered.
There are already many indications
that our business men see ard appre-
ciate the prospect, and the frmer feel
ing which prevails, will probably result
IN an early activity among them, an
activity which will be the seed of a
very considerable harvest in the fall,
and a golden harvest in the coming
year.-Neo0 York Commercial Age.

The Rail Road Farm Mortgages.

Some sixteen or eighteen years age
the Devil sent his agent up into Wood
Countrywide Enin, because he
couldn't come himself, to inveigle ou1
farmers into mortgaging their farms
for the building of the Horizon and
some other place railroad. The whole
was fraud from its inception to its
close, and the only thing legitimate
was Enin going home few years sub
sequently in hearse. Following the
giving Of the mortgages, for which
nothing was ever received, they were
taken under misrepresentation made by
Mr.. E., recorded and negotiated, ard
since that time the parties have been
litigating with the ''i,anoccnt parcha$-
ers, and fighting as for dear life, con-
testing every inch Of ground against
one of the blacklist frauds ever perpe-
trated, until at last victory has been
won;-she perched where she belonged
and the fight is virtually ended, and
justice has been done, though tardlIy.
The Supreme Court last week wiped
out the whole slate and two of our old
residents particularly have OCCASION to
be happy, as we know they are, by the
change of countenance each wears.
A history Of these cases would be ex-
ceedingly interesting, but it is enough
that the right has won. We have Civ
en- only the principle facts Of the steal,
the minimtia can be CLEANED from the
parties interested. Two of our attor-
neys together with Judge Spooner of
Madison, belongs the credit CT winning
in the fight which has been contested
against hundreds of thousands eff dol
lars upon the one hand, while upon the
other was almost poverty, but the facts
nevertheless have at last turned
the scales of Justice. AMEN!
