ATLANTIC MONTELY.-The article by Hon. D. A
Wells in the September Atlantic is one Of the mOst
important essays ever written by this publicist.
It treats Of Property, Titles and Debts and Of the
question Of their taLability; and assaIls the mon
strOus abuse of power by which the same proper
ty is frequently taxed twice in the same State.
Every man Of means in this country will be intere-
sted in this mastery paper.
The short stories Of the Atlantic this year have
been remarkably striking. Mrs. Rose Terry
Cookies in the July number was an example, and
in the September number appears another story Of
equal power. Itis painful but terribly faithful
study of the life and career of girl committed in
childhood to the tender merc!es of the Reform
School The Child Of the State reads like facts.
Il is said not TO be true.

Xenia Gazette: The "hard times"
are very much matters of our own
making. Men with money in bank
and in pocket refuse to pay small
accounts, and so those owing small
accounts cannot pay. Persons who
three years ago would blush to owe
an account now decline payment
with as much nonchalance as a No
doc would decline the proffer of
peace by his enemy.

Rnrcs ns a speech-Maker.

BenuaEton Correspondence Chicago InterO Ocean.
Mr.. Hayes demonstrated, to-day,
that he is a speech-maker. He has
been saying bright things all day.
His delivery is fine, and when he gets
through he knows it and stops.
What better could have been writ
ten than his remark in the pratiOn
tent, to the effect that if one hun
dred years ago it was the greatest
honor possible to be a minute man,
how could he more fttingly com
memorate an event of that day than
by being a minute man himself! !

enlarged to the size of the News,

the readers Of the Telegraph several
columns more reading matter of the

great blessing to newspaper pub

The Cleveland Leader has its rem

to anticipate the probable ezpendi-

20 millions annually, and Judging

The Allen County Republican, in
its notes of the Convention, says:
"Several parties who came up
smilingly were knocked down with a
geography. Williams, of Brown
County, and Doggett, of Highland,
had the solid south part Of the State,
and enough of the interior to elect
them, but after Cincinnati got the
Lieutenant Governor, and Lawrence
county, the Supreme Judge, the
scene had to shift.

Speaking of the Republican nom
nations for Governor and Leuten-
ant Governor, the Cincinnati Gazette
says: ''There is, as we have said
before in the Gazette, no abIor or
purer man in Ohio than Judge West
He is sound, too, on all the leading
questions Of the day, and as a popu-
lar speaker he has few equals. In
the loss of his sight he has been
sorely afflicted, but his mind is un-
impaired, and his memory eztraordi-
narily retentiYe- much so that
in practising at the bar he has no
difficulty in quoting authorities, even
referring to the section and page.
He has thus been able to retain his
large practice. Judge West did not
seek the Office. It sought him, and
in him it found a frst-class man.
F. Vogeler, the nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor, is a Cincinnati
lawyer of cultivation, ability and
frst-class repute. He is a German
by birth, and a thorough-going
American from choice. To show the
kind of man Mr.. Yogeler is, we may
mention an incident in his history:
Some years ago he was in business
and failed. Then friends loaned him
money to give him another start
He entered the profession of law,
worked hard, lived economically, and
devoted his savings to the payment,
not only of his personal debts, but
to the discharge Of the obligations
of his old firm also. That man will
do. He is a credit to the party that
nominated him, and will add greatly
to the strength Of the ticket of which
he is an important part.

The New York Tribune pertinent.

The New York Tribune pertinent
ly says:
There are two points about the
Ohio Republican Convention which
ought to be emphasized. One is
that absence Of the Office holders
brought out an unusually large at
tendance of the people,and the other
is that all States for the benefit of as
pirants for the Senatorship were
broken, and, as a consequence, the
Senatorial question viii scarcely
arise at all in the campaign. What
is best in the work of the Conven-
ton is due to the people, who were
too strong for the politicians.

Senator Morton is lying very low at his residence
in Richmond. Ind, and on Friday last his recOv-
cry was deemed impossible, but he mas since raj
lied, and at last accounts, his symptoms were bet

labor during his recent visit to Oregon. We trust
to be able to announce in our next issue that he is
recovering. The nation can i'll afford to spare him
from her councils at this jnDcture.
