CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, JR., by invi-
tation, delivered the annual address at the
Wisconsin State Fair. OF course be talked
about railroads, and in doing 90 told the peo.
pie Of that state that public sentiment was
much better agent for the correction of the
abuses or errors of railroad corporations than
force laws. The latter the people Of Wlscon-
sin have tried and the trial has resulted in
stopping the work on two railroads under
construction, anG in an interference with ex-
isting railways which has proved mischievous
and injurious to both corporations and peo-
pie. Among other things Mr.. Adams said
that too many railroads had been built in the
West for the business to be done-a condi-
tion which naturally forced antagonism, the
people demanding ample transportation ia &.
cilities at low price while the companies
were obliged to have high tariffs to pay their
obligations. This latter remark of Mr..
Adams will be worth moments s.considera-
tion by our Maine people, even at the present
time

In Ohio the contest wakes hot as election
day approaches. All other questions but the
currency have nearly disappeared simply be-
cause tae people will not listen patiently to
the usual campaign talk. The school ques-
tion which was so prominent in the early
stages of the campaign, is the only other one
alluded to beside that of the currency and is
secondary to that. The Republican chances
brighten. Carl Schurz is doing great service
as is Woodford and other hard money advo-
Gates. A plan to stuff ballot boxes in Gin
cinnati by the exasperated Allenitss has been
discovered. 1t would have been perfectly
easy thing to do because the state is practi-
cally without registration law.

THE Ohio campaign so absorbs public at
tentlon that little heed is given to other
states. In Wisconsin the campaign is almost
entirely of personal character. The Demo-
cratic-Reform party was compelled to re-
nominate Gov. Taylor, whose administration
is proving anything but success, and whose
public and private character is undergoing
very rigid and, as it turns out, very damaging
analysis. The Republicans expect TO carry
the state by 10000 majority.

WHILE the expansionists are urging that
the business of the country demands more
currency, the national banks have, since July
1st, surrendered eight millions OF their circu-
lation in excess of the amount issued. Nor
have such banks been confined to the East
since Western banks have been the most for
ward in surrendering the notes lying idle and
recovering their bonds. This is practical
argument against the imitation craze which
ought to be conclusive.

A PRIVATE letter received from Ohio by
gentleman of this city says the Republican
prospects are improving and we feel confident
now of carrying the state by very decisive
majority. l say we for although I am not
a Republican / am hard money man, and as
the Ohio Democracy have gone off after the
miserable delusion of paper money there is
no place for roe this year but with the Repub-
licans." The Argus says there is no choice
between the two platforms, but the citizens
of Ohio seem 60 recognize difference, and
while ignorance and dishonesty are running
after Bill Allen, intelligence and honesty are
marching under the banner of Gen. Hayes.

THE New York Tribune is an excellent pa
per. Recently it declared that this govern
ment had been destined to meet three great
crises. Two of these 1t had successfully
passed while the third which was no less than
the free school system, would constitute a
battle ndupon which the pending conflict
was yet to be fought. In view of this alarm
ing declaration, it is little strange that the
Tribune should regard the remarks of Presi-
dent Grant on this subject to be of little i'm
portance and impute their utterance to some
Republican leader who had induced the Presi-
dent to give it prominence as pending po-
litical issue. 1t looks very much like case
of Tribune vs.. Tribune.

excellent well. for novices, and HI yhly appre-
Grated in this light. We dare not particular
ize but it is sufficient to say, that all acquitted
themselves well. and TO the satisfaction OF au-
jience and friends. The Club improves quite
naturally, on each successive appearance, II
embraces some real talent that with age and
perseverance, may deyelope into first-class.
The Season of Song" introduced by that

ed by Miss Emma j. King, was most happy
