Dem0rest's illustrated Al0nthLy Nag
asine for September is an extremely
useful and entertaining number. The
tales and poems are excellent, and
"The English Cathedrals," The Ro-
nance of the Century" and Seeing
New York." by Jenny June, are arti-
cles of unusual interest. There is much
that will prove very useful in the house
hold, in the way of fancy work and
fashion, and the illustration add
greatly to the attractiveness of this
number. "Medea," fine oil paint
ing from the original by N. Sichel,
form the frontispice.
Among the articles in the N0uh
american Re0ieaO for September, three
in particular merit the serious consid-
Grafton of everyone who studies the
tendencies of oui government. The
leading one is by Bishop ]. Lancaster
Spaldlng, who insists that the only sure
"Basis of Popular Government" is
morality, not culture OF the intellect,
nor universal suffrage, nor the develop
ment of material resources and that
if the country is to be saved from ruin,
there must be return to the uncom-
promising moral code of the founders
of New England. The policy of The
Exclusion of the Chinese is advocated
by John H. burst, who presents a
striking array OF forcible and original
arguments against Mongolian i'm
migration. -Four distinguished writer's
on political economy, namely, David
A. Wells, Thomas G. Shearman, ]. B..
Sargent, and Prof. w. G. Sumner, set
forth, from nearly every conceivable
point of view. the Evils of the Tariff
System; and it is announced that in
the Re0ieao for October several writer's
of no less distinction will exhibit the
"Senefits of the Tariff System" The
other articles in the current number
are "The Demand of the Industrial
Spirit" by Charles Dudley Warner !;
"Ins2iration and Infallibility," by the
Rev. DIR. ]. Fl. Rylance "The Need
of Liberal Divorce Laws" by Eliza

The situation at Central city is
growing worse. 100 more convict>
have been sent 10 work in the mines
Indignation meetigs have been held
and petitions have been present
ed to Gov. Knott, but the convicls
still remain. Their employment was
authorized by the Legislature and
the Governor has no power to recall
them. The following from the Breck
enridge News indicates that there is
trouble ahead:
There is not militia enough in Ken
lucky to prevent the convict laborers
being driven from the mines at Cen
trail City il they are not Withdrawn
at the end Of the specified thirty days.
Every man in this section of the state
will stand by the miners gun in hahd
should matters come to the worst,
and woe be unto those who stand in
the path of the people armed and de-
tcrimiued to battle for right and JUS
tice, for hearth and home, for the
God-given privilege of earning liv-
ing by honest toll for wife and little
ones. If Gov. Knott wants 10 push
matters to Il bloody issue, all he has
to do is to permit the convicts TO re-
main in the Central City mines.

The waters seem to be troubled
at Anchorage Asylum, and reports of
cruelty again are put before the pub
lie. The trouble arises this time
over the death of Evans ID. Allnut,
an ex-legislator who was placed in.
the asylum some five month ago, and
whose death occurred Tuesday even
ing, the supposed cause of which was
rough treatment on the part Of two
attendants named McClannhan and
Ballard. The story as told the moth
er of Allnut was to the effect that some
weeks since he became somewhat cN-
cited at a supposed insult offered
by the attendants, but instead Of res
training him by mild means, they
knocked him down and kicked in five
of his ribs. After hcaringlhis report

hopeless, but cndeavored to keep the
matter as secret as possible. An in-

1t is useless to speak of weather, for
we have none, save sunshine and

right to complain, as it not only cuts
the tobacco crop short, but late corn

to be done.
