Commenting on the result of the
Maine election, the New York Tribune
says:
at would not be just to omit mention
of the fact that this triumph has been
largely due to the rare generalship, the
wonderful organizing power, and the
untiring effort of James G. Blaine.
Where all have done their utmost, there
is always the least disposition to grudge
the honor that is due TO him who took
upon himself the heaviest part of the
load and carried it TO the victorious end.
But the magnificent working-power, the
rare enthusiasm, and the quick insight
of this born leader of men, were never

The Chicago papers declared that the
recent advance in the price of spring
wheat on the board OF trade in that city
was in great measure due to the revolt
in Afghanistan and the consequent criti-
cal relations between England and
Russia. A war between these two ma
tions wonld lock up the supply of wheat
in Russia, and as no other country in
Europe has bushel to spare, the entire
European demand would be supplied
from this country, with heavy advance
in prices. Thus an insignificant row in
ASIA helps the farmers of the United
States

Parker Pillsbury, in his speech be-
fore the Ingersoll infidel convention of
soreheads at Cincinnati, said 'that the
anti-slavery enterprise was known as an
infidel enterprise" Mr.. Pillsbury
might have been anxious to have it
known as such, but the falsity of the
statement is too plain to need an argu-
ment. The anti-slavery organization
prescribed no class, but the rank and
file, as we'll as the great leaders, were
christian men and women.
