Dean Stanley is dead" is the brief
announcement that heralds the death OF
the foremost churchman of the Anglican
Communion. As leader of the Broad
Church" party, he welded an in
fiuence such as few have exercised IN
recent years. His scholarly attain.
ments gave his opinions great
value, and it is not too much to say that
by the religious mind of England he
was regarded as the Gladstone of the
church. As Dean of Westminster he
has been brought into prominence in
connection with the obsequies of Eng
lands great ment and it is more than
likely that he too will sleep in the veneer
able Abbey TO which he saw not few
consigned.
Arthur Penrhyn Stanley was born at
Alderley, Cheshire, December 10, 1915.
He was the son of DIR. Edward Stanley,
rector of Alderley, and later Bishop OF
Norwich, author of the Familiar His
tory of Birds" The son was edu-
Gated at Rugby and graduated in
1885 at University College, Oxford,
where he subsequently resided for twelve
years as tutor. In 1851 he was appoint
ed Canon of Canterbury and was Regiust
Professor of Ecclesiastical History at
Oxford from 1856 to 1884, when he was
made Dean of Westminster.
He has published ''The Life and Cor
respondence of Thomas Arnold, d. D., F"
the famous head master of Rugby,
whom Hughes has immortalized in
tom Brown" This has passed through
numerous editions and been translated
into numerous foreign languages. Be
sides this work he published Sermons
and Essays on the Apostolic Age"
"The Epistles of st. Paul to
the Corinthians" with critical
notes and dissertations; Historical
Memorials of Canterbury Cathedral"
''Sinai and Palestine in Connection with
Their History" Lectures on the History
of the Eastern Church; F." Lectures on
the History of the Jewish Church; +"
"The Bible; Its Form and Substance; T"
Scripture Portraits and Other Miscella-
MES; Historical Memorials of West
Minister Abbey" "The Three Irish
Churches; a Historical Address"
Essays on Church and State" "The
Athanasian Creed" and Lectures ON
the History of the Church of Scotland, !"
In November, 1874, he was elected
Lord Rector of the University of st.
Andrews. For several years he had been
the spiritual adviser of Her Majesty
the Queen. The character and
scope of his writings stamped
him as thorough scholar,
and his high rank as q theologian was
conceded. He was known on both con-
tinents, and during his stay in America
preached in several Episcopal pulpits.
His loss will be deeply felt in England,
and will be deplored by the religious
world generally.

New Y0rk,s New Half Bresd senator.

The election of Warner Miller to the
United States Senate will give additional
strength to the protectionist element in
that body. He is prominent member
of the pulp ring, saddling newspaper
publishers and book publishers with a
heavy tribute to keep up the pulp mo-
nopoly's treasury. Last year the New
York EDening Post, which is now COM
PEELED to support Miller because he is
half breed Republican, said about him:
when his constituents elected Mr..
Warner Miller they perhaps thought
they were selecting a man to look after
their interests in Congress in respect to
finance, economy in public administra-
ton and other political matters. They
were mistaken. The only finances about
which Mr.. Miller has troubled himself
are his own finances; the only question
of economy to which he has given any
thought is the economy of his own pulp
and paper establishments, and he has not
allowed political matters to stand for
moment in the way of his private profits.
Miller and his associates have been
enabled to enrich themselves by the duty
ON pulp and other paper making
materials. His first interest in life
official as well as individual life-has,
therefore, been to keep this duty on the
statute book. He has voted steadily in the
House of Representatives to prevent the
consideration of tariff measures, and he
has presented the disgraceful spectacle
of a member of Congress before the
Committee of Ways and Means, en-
deavoring, by specious arguments and
false statements, to further his own Pc
cuniary interest and to pocket more dol
lars belonging to the public, in addition to
the stock of dollars of which the public
has already been virtually robbed. Mil
Ter has labeled himself with his own pa
per as the Great Pulp Monopolist. He
ought to carry the label through the next
canvass, if he ventures to make another,
and when the people whom he has mis-
represented gather ioyfully at his po-
litical burial, they may we'll inscribe
this epitaph upon his dishonored tomb.

at Washington, and was always faithful
to his duty-the duty on pulp"

Soil Rurning Ont.

For about two months dense smoke
on the Carolina side of Savannah river
has been visible every day from this city,
and once or twice during that period,
the wind setting in this direction, has
filed our streets with the dlsagreeable
odor of burning vegetable matter On
inquiry we learn that the smoke arises
from the burning of the turf or peat of
the rice fields in that locality, which
took fire during the dry weather in May,
and soon made such progress as to defy
all attempts to extinguish it. The
Delta, Cheves and Proctor plantations,
weare told, have already suffered greatly,
while every day increases the damage to
an alarming extent Large areas of the
rich peat soil of those valuable plauta-
tons have already been burnt out down
to the wet sea level, entailing damage
to the soil that will require centuries to
repair.

A NEW OPERA.-Rubenstein's I'll
Demonlo" has just been brought out in
Covent Garden Theatre, London, under
the composers own direction. The
audience was an unusually brilliant one,
partly, no doubt, owing to the fact that
this was the first attempt 10 produce
one of his operas on the English stage.
The libretto is founded upon Lennon
toff's fantastic poem of the same name,
which deals with the love OF the Prince
of Darkness for an earthly maiden, and
to it Rubenstein is said to have written
some of his most characteristic music
all through the opera, however, showing
his strong prediction for the national
airs of his country, Russia. The
choruses are of a pronounced Slavonic
type, and the music, while belonging to
no particular school, is. like his orches-
trail music, Rubenstein's own. The
composer was called six times before
the curtain.

Cincinnati Industrial Exposition.

We have received the annual circular
of the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition
of Manufactures, Products and the Arts,
together with the premium list, rules and
regulations, ETC., of the ninth annual
Exposition, which will be held in Gin
cinnati September 7th TO October 9Th,
1881. Articles competing for premiums
must be receipted for by the Secretary
and in position on or before September
9TH. No articles can be entered unless
previous application has been made on
the printed form. All entries not in
cluded in the premium list will be for
exhibition only. No charge will be
made for space, but each exhibitor Tex
cepeamateurs and exhibitors in the Fine
Arts and Natural History Department.
will be required to pay an
entry fee of two dollars. Exhibitors
competing for more than one premium
Except in the horticultural Department.
shall pay two dollars for each additional
premium. The exhibits will be arranged
in nine departments, under eightynine
classes. and the display will be in every
sense an exposition embracing every
thing of value in the lines of industry
and the fine arts. The department of
horticulture invites the widest range of
exhibits in the way of fruits and flowers,
cut flowers and feral designs. 1t is free
to all, with the stipulation that exhibitors
must be the actual owners of the goods
displayed.
The Board of Commissioners of the
Exposition is made up of representatives
from the Chamber of Commerce and
Board of Trade of Cincinnati, and the
Ohio Mechanics Institute.
In view of the close relations between
the South and the Ohio metropolis, the
exhibition should awaken interest In this
section. The previous displays have
been highly successful, and the coming
Exposition would prove diverting to
returning Southerners and will repay all
who may attend it.
The magnificent Exposition Hall,
where the display will be arranged, af-
fords unsurpassed facilities for the pur-
poses of the Exposition, and everything
can be arranged to the best advantage.
Full particulars as to space, exhibits,
premiums, rules and regulations will be
furnished on application to the Secre-

The GubernatOrIal Canvass in Ohio

The Republican attack upon the Ohio
Democratic nominee for Governor, Hon.
John W. BOokwalter, has commenced
so early and SO vigorously as to indicate
on the part of his assailants a strong APP
prehension of his election. So far, only
one charge is brought against him, viz
that he bought the nomination, and as
this is based solely upon the fact that he is
wealthy, it is not worthy of serious at
tention. 1t is, however, somewhat
amusing to find the Ohio Republicans,
whose present nominee for Governor
bought his election last year and hopes
to buy his reelection this year, denounc-
ing the Democratic nominee on an I'M
supported suspicion that he bought his
nomination. Mr.. Bookwalter is the
proprietor of a large turbine-wheel
mandatory. He is of German descent,
and has accumulated large fortune in
the manufacture of the Leffel turbine
wheel. He owns the largest hotel In
Springfield, Ohio, and is just about finish
ing large opera house there. One OF
the finest business blocks in the place
was built by him. He is large land
owner IN Illinois and Nebraska, and his
great sheep ranch at Mission Creek in
the latter State is well known through
out the West. In 1871 he founded and
edited a paper called the Mechanical
NepS He is said to own the finest pic
ture gallery west of the Alleghanies.
Mr.. Bookwalter was originally Repub
lican, and remained so until 1872, when
he Joined in the Greeley movement. lie
has since been Democrat, but has not
been in active politics. When reports
were current last fall that the Republi-
can manufacturers of Springfield were
bringing TO bear pressure to make their
workmen vote the Republican ticket,
Mr.. Bookwalter called his men together
and told them that, while he was himself
a Democrat, he did not wish to have that
fact influence the vote of any man en-
ployed by him. He is very popular with
the workingmen of the State.

The Pension Commissioner, Mr.. bud
ley, has already commenced the very
slight task Of proving himself a partisan
whose one idea of the public service is
that it is maintained by the people solely
for the profit of his political party. He
has dismissed 200 employees Of the Pen
sion Office, not because they are incom-
petent or dishonest or Enthusiastically,
but simply because their political
records" are, in Dudley's opinion. "du-
bious." This is a point blank defiance
of the public sentiment in favor Of the
abolition of such partisan procedures,
which has been raised by the attempted
assassination of the President. 1t justi-
ties the opinion expressed at the time of
Dudley's appointment, that it was a re-
ward for dirty political services and cal
culated to bring about a reorganization
of the Pension Bureau in the interest of
a certain Presidential candidacy.

Ne,n York Rnnker nnd Rroker.

=
1t is everywhere admitted that present
indications point to an enormous cotton
crop. The largest crop ever grown is
foreshadowed by the increase of 4 tot
per cent. In the acreage planted and the
generally propitious weather that has
thus far favored the plant, while the
amount of fertile rs and cultivation en-
ployed are known to be beyond all pre-
cedent. Giving proper importance TO
these facts, without attempting ourselves
to reduce any estimate to figures. it
seems reasonable to predict an enormous
crop. Popular estimates in this country
place the yield at seven million bales,
while operators abroad do not think that
seven and quarter million bales is an
extravagant figure upon which to base
calculations.
The arrival Of new cotton is already
reported Last year the receipts at the
ports, especially the Gulf ports, were
very tardy, being hindered by bad
weather even as late as February. At
this time, with the recent favorable
weather, cotton is well advanced, and
the promise is good for early and full
receipts from the start. Assuming that
the supply will be much larger than
ever before known, it becomes interest
ing to consider the question of demand.
American spinners hold about one hun
dred thousand bales more than they held
at this time last year. The continent or
Europe is reported to have about
one hundred and fifty seven
thousand bales in invisible supply more
than that of last year, while the visible
supply shows an excess of f1fty-nine
thousand bales. There is, however, a
decrease shown in the reserve supply of
English spinners, but the large excess
in the visible supply is believed to be a
sufficient Offset, that leaves no cause for
apprehension. It's generally urged that
owing to good trade cotton is not dear
at the current figures. Consumption is
undoubtedly large; it is at its maximum.
But it is the unexampled activity of
English spinners during the past year
that has produced glut in the goods
markets of India and China, and it is i'm
portant TO consider whether or not Eng-
fish manufacturers, in the face of these
facts. will pay present prices for Ameri-
can cotton, especially as it is to them
alone that we can look for an early mar
ket Moreover the grain crops of Europe
are in promising condition, and there
may be consequent falling off in the
demand for American grain, while with
reduced exports of cotton more limited
shipments of gold are not improbable.
1t is on every hand admitted that the
outlook is generally "bearish" on cotton.
but in the face of everything the ten
dency of the market, both in New York
and Liverpool, is for the present upward,
under the influence of speculative man
mutation.

Secretary Window is quoted as saying:
Nothing, to my mind, conveys so re
alizing a sense Of the great national
calamity as the fact that for nearly one
whole week the Office-seeker restrained
himself, and for the time being aban-
dOned his request for Office. That re-
Vealed to me a sublimity of private self
denial under the presence Of a great pub
lie sOrrow which 1 would never have
discovered or believed under any other
circumstances; and it showed better than
everything else how deeply the souls OF
men were stirred. But il is not likely to
last. The ofice-seeker is abroad again,
and he appears to have lost nothing OF
his pertinacity or vigor."

The newly taken census of England
shows that the depopulatiOn of the rural
parishes, which has been in progress for
many years, is still going on, while the
cities are growing. The worst feature
of this important change is the fact that
it is largely due to the action of noble
men and squires, who with highhanded
exercise Of the rights of property, i'm
prove hamlets and old houses off their
estates altogether, and refuse sites for
the erection of villas, and still more of
dwellings for the laboTing classes. They
thus drive many worthy poor into the
aims house, and deprive large numbers
of people Of their natural right TO home
in the country, if they prefer it. One
consequence Of this policy is a gradual
transfer Of political power to the cities,
which in time may be turned with ire
sistible force upon the selfish policy Of
the aristocracy and compel rsdistribu-
ton II The land.
