The Enquirer says of the late election
in Maine: We have now the full vote of
Maine, which is as follows: Total vote,
139, ,S39, being several thousand larger than
ever before; total Republican vote, SO, 10;
Greenback, 4S077; Democratic, 2l,S41. 1t
will be seen that the Republicans failed to
secure a popular majority by Lilo. Ever
since Maine went "h-ll bent for Governor
Kent" in 1910, the September elections in
that State have indicated the general tide
of the public political sentiment the coun-
try over If the Ohio Republicans can do
no better, in proportion to the vote they
will cast than did the Republicans Of
MaiiN, they will be in the minority of the
popular vote, tens of thousands.-Mr. Tai
mage wisely chose to enlarge his knowledge
OF human life and human temptations by
watching human life in the two great cities
in the heart of which he lived and preached.
With the same instinct he went across
the sea. He reforms with added possibili-
ties for usefulness. Mr.. Talmage comes
back preaching the true broad, beautiful
gospel. Mr.. Talmage has done credit to
the Christian impulse of this country
abroad. and he does credit to it instantly
on his return.-The Enquirer accused Mr..
Foster, Republican candidate for Governor,
with having by his vote in December, 1875,
approved of billintroduced by Holman, of
Indiana, against any further subsidies to
railroads and corporations and afterwards in
the Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Congress
several times so voted as to sustain the
various jobbing bills before that body.
The Commercial says the managers of the
Ohio campaign on the part of the Republi-
cans should not omit to notice that Cincin-
natl is the most uncertain city, politically
speaking in the country. You never can
tell what is going to happen here; and the
vote of this county in all probability deter
mines the complexion of the next Legisla-
ture, upon which depends a seat in the Sem
ate and important legislation for all the
cities in the State.-The intimation, We pre-
sumo, is that the National Banks are op-
posed to the Democratic party. Well, why
not? The Democratic party makes point
of hostility to the banks, and cultivates any
idiocy that may be suggested
in that direction.-One of the
most soothing of our young
men of genius is Mr.. Lewis G. Bernard,
Clerk of the Courts and Democratic cand-
date for reelection t, that office. Mr.. Ber-
nard has $50, 000 year, or y, 500 month
for office expenses. Sometimes his pay
rolls show more and sometimes less than
this sum of monthly expenditure. When
less, what does he do with the money; when
more, where does he get it2 His payroll is
curiosity. There are names upon it of men
who never do anything and some months
they are on the roll and some they are not
on, but they get the money all the same
BY what arrangement is this done?
The Gazette says Great Britain's army
costs over one-third of the amount raised
by taxation in the United Kingdom. Ger
many spends over two-thirds OF her income
on soldiers, and Austria is not far behind
Russia spends one.half of her revenue for
the same purpose. Were each of the con-
tinental powers above named to cut down
its peace establishment to one-third its
present dimensions, it would still have
abundant resources on which to draw IN
case of an outbreak of war, and the stock of
disciplined men would not be exhausted
| for years to come, if peace continued
| ters or circulars addressed to lottery COM
panies or their agents are no longer to be
mailable or entitled to registration, and
postmasters have been instructed strictly to
carry ont this order. A list of nearly 100
lotteries and other fraudulent schemes thus
cut off from mail privileges is published in
the September and October numbers of the
! Official Postal Guide. The Gazette saws of
the proposed Judiciary amendment that it
will, if accepted, drag our Judiciary lower
down in that degradation which makes it a
succession of mills to grind litigants to
powder for the benefit of small LAWYERS
who can not get enough of real practice; to
make it, even more than it now is, denial
of justice and protection of the rich op-
pressor; to make it supply multitude of
judgeships, in which poor lawyers can find
an infirnary by means of party wire
work 'ng, and young lawyers can find way
to advertise themselves by adding the
title of Judge
