JAMES GORDON BENNETT is coming
home after long absence in foreign
lands, to sec why the net receipts of
the Herald have been falling off and to
look after his cable and his consolidation
against the Western Union Telegraph
company, which he feels very anxious
about. 1t is gossiped also that he will
land his Persian wife at Newport, to
whom he is sure enough married, and
little sprig of a Bennett that has been
added to the family tree. Bennett has
not been on American soil since he
fought that duel with another dude
somewhere down in New jersey, several
years since. His headquarters have been
in Paris and London.

Col. RUSSELL II. CoNwELL' S admir-
able ''life" of James G.. Blaine is now
ready it is handsomely bound and
printed, and contains upwards of 500
pages; it is illustrated by frst-class
artists it is from the press of Messrs.
E. c. Allen & Co., of Augusta, Maine
As rapid biographer, Col. Conwell
doubtless stands without rival in
America, and the volume has the i'm
press of the broadcast information and
most careful attention on every page.
This is the biography that received the
inestimable benefit Of active cooperation
and assistance of Mr.. Blaine, his rela-
tives and friends this is the volume
that is recommended by the family and
private Secretary of the distinguished
Candidate ; it is true picture, drawn
by a master hand, of the life of the
Statesman from the humble cradle to
the present day, and presents striking
contrast to the score of so called Lives
which are to a large extent filled with
irrelevant matter made up from the
newspapers of the day; those who are
wise will subscribe only for the authentic
Augusta edition, the largest, cheap
est, handsomest and best. The steel
plate portraits of Blaine and Logan
were engraved for the volume and are a
standing rebuke to the caricatures which
appear in the so-called dives with big
pretensions. We understand that this
Authentic Standard Augusta edition is
outselling all others more than ten to
one, and that It's agents are meeting
with the most phenomenal success. a
few more agents are wanted by the
publishers the most liberal terms are
offered. 1t is splendid chance for
beginners, as with this grand book no
one can fail to do a great business.
The volume also contains biography
of John A. Logan.

Now comes another cowboy sensa-
ton. All the way from Big Stone
City,in the land of the Dakotas, comes
the cheering intelligence that the
"cowboy preacher" O. E. Murray, of
Pierre, is stirring upan unprecedented
religious revival. His great speciality
is music, and as music hath charms
TO sooth the savage breast, it is no
wonder that the cowboys of that
hitherto benighted region are rapidly
becoming converted. The singing
evangelist is assisted by boy preach
er named Weber, who has charge of
the altar work in the grand camp
meeting under the direction of the
Methodist Episcopal church. In the
grand roundup of sinners, Murray
steers the cowboys on the right trail,
and Weber applies the brand of
christianity upon their brows.
They are performing a good work,
and we are glad to note the fact that
they are meeting with marked sue
cess. These missionaries have chosen
the right field, and we hope that the
day is not distant when they shall
have converted every cowboy in the
vast grazing regions of the country
from Dakota to Texas and from Ne
braska to Arizona. 1t will indeed be
gratifying to hear the cowboys, as
the joyfully bound over the buffalo
grass, singing Moody and Sankey
hymns and "Hosannahs to the Lord,"
instead of indulging in profanity that
streaks the very air blue with caths.
Let the good work go on. The cow

voice, is destined to play an important
part i'll the great missionary field of
the wild west. The generous nature
Of the cowboy insures to him an at
tentive audience.respeclful treatment,
and liberal support. The seed that
he sows will bring forth an abundant
harvest among the sinners of the
plains who will hail with delight the
opportunity offered them of abandon
ing their evil ways. The cattle-kings,
in all probability, will encourage the
cowboy preacher in his efforts to tame
and christianize the cowboys, by offer
ing "a premium for every convert.

THE new commander. in chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, John S.
Koantz, is the youngest man ever
elected to that honorable position.
He has been twice before a candidate
for the place. Commander Kountz
was born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1916.
He entered the service of the United
States in 1861, when only fifteen years
of age, enlisting in the Thirty-seventh
Ohio as drummer boy. In this capacity
he served until the battle Of Mission
Ridge. During the most exciting per-
iod of that battle he threw aside his
drum and grabbing a muslket he
fought bravely until wounded, which
caused him the loss of a leg. When he
fell he was the nearest union soldier
to the confederate line. His brave
conduct has been celebrated in several
poems, and has become a matter of
history. Upon his return home, being
still Il youth, he attended school a
year Or two, and then launched forth
into local politics, in which field he
was successful. Commodore Kountz
has always been an active and infu-
entail member of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and has held all the
important positions in the order in
Ohio, from post adjutant to depart
ment commander. While he was COM
mander of Ohio he organized 159
posts and increased the membership
from LOO to $3.50. His election
as communicative chief is undoubtedly
a deserved recognition of his valuable
services and Of his ability for the
important position.-Bee.

precautions about the trip to show
the people that he is not rash, hot

from Petersburg to Warsaw will be
guarded by 10, 900 soldiers, every foot

HAVING barely provided ourselves
with a remedy for Chinese coolie labor,
we find ourselves confronted with a
proposed system nearly as vicious.
Steps have already been taken by some
eastern capitalists to import foreign
labor TO this country under the contract
system. The plan is to import not only
italian and Welsh laborers, but as many
skilled workmen as they can induce to
come under contract, and then supply
them to contractors all over the country
1t will require but a glance at this
pernicious scheme to realize how dam
aging its introduction would be to the
workingmen of the country. At present
there is no law to interfere OF prevent
the operation of this plan, but it should
receive the earliest attention of congress
on leassembling. No objection can be
urged against laborers when skilled or
unskilled who are willing to come here
and take their chances among us; but
for those who let themselves out under
a contract which is mainly beneficial
to the contractors and destructive of
healthy condition of labor there is no
room. Republican.

AN indignant New York cores
pondent protests against the weak
and vapid conversation of young
la'lies in society who have had every
educational advantage desired. The
weather, the approaching events in
society, the different fashionable
summer resorts were the most prom
inent themes of conversation philo-
sophical, ethical or literary subjects
did not once arise. The writer asks {:
"Why will not women qualify them
selves for higher position in the
social scale, and one more equal to
that of their envied brothers ?" 1t is
great disappointment to find young
lady Of fashionable appearance and
eloquent manners absorbed in trivial
interests, which are shown in con-
versation, and in that case it is fortu-
nate if the conversation concerns the
weather and not the foibles people.
"Cood gracious Isn't he daisy That
woman is as disagreeable and as OBJ

the smiling lips Of some fashionable
maiden, the New York correspondent
should be satisfied. Perhaps young

spoken almost TO abruptness, rejoic-

jar, she wasted much cf her energy

A HOLE in the party wall which
lets a new voter in is often, and indeed
generally, big enough to let a voter
out. A great many democrats are

it will not do any harm to watch the

that nobody goes out.

TIIF DtpRNDENTS

II is sad that men who profess superlative
political virtue should sto0p to take one more
SYLLABLE than belongs to them. Ihey call
themselves q independents" In reality, they
have made themselves entirely dependent
upon the Democrat tic party, both for candidates
and principles If their political virtue is as
lofty rs they suppose, they vii! insist upon their
true name. dependents"
The Democratic party has not many principles
to spare But its small stock must furnish
forth the Dependents, if they are to have any.
For they go into the ante-room OF the Demo-
cratic Convention with one idea, " Anything to
beat Blaine" They are agreed in saying that
they dislike him, and they are agreed upon
nothing else. Except, of course, that they are
all saints.
Neither has the Democratic party a super
abundance of fit candidates 1t is at present
ransacking the country for one man who can
possibly carry New-York. Whether ne is
known anywhere else makes 10 difference.
New York, it is calculated, can vote New
Jersey. The South, it is supposed, can be made
solid-wth shOt-gu or otherwise. And
solid South, it is calculated, would vote for any
body or anything labelled Democratic-for a
wooden Indian, or the empty hide of dead
donkey. That is the Democratic theory; our
private belief, that part of the South may pre-
fer to vote for statesman and a live American,
need not now be obtruded.
Into this nice company the Dependents have
put themselves. They are expected to be solid,
as well as the South, for anything labelled
Democratic. Inasmuch as 1t is altogether and
absolutely impossible that they should vote Tor
Mr.. Blaine, the expectation seems to be reason
able. They can find nobody to serve as bolt
ing candidate. If they are minded to beat MIR.
Blaine anyhow, as their railing accusations in
dictate, of course they will have to beat him
with any kind of creature that the Democrats
may prefer. Happily, this country has not
often seen set .of men so completely DEEPEN
dent.
The question is one of power. The Democrats
had hard race to run, without this dead load
depending Jon them. How they are to make
good time with it is mystery. Free Trade and
British influence do not often help candidate
for the American Presidency.

harmony that sweetly brooded over its proceed
ings. The machine, representing Cleveland,
was willing to back down at every turn, while
the anti Cleveland delegates, animated by tho
same amable spirit, were willing to have IL
back down. We regret to be compelled to add
that, now that the convention is over. harmony
seems to have temporarily absentcd itself from
the ranks of the Democracy. The AIbdny Argus
and The Buffalo Courier hail the outcome at
Saratoga as Il triumph for Cleveland. On the
other hand, The Albany Times argues that
q the Democracy of other States will be
" convinced Ivy the action of the State COnven-
" ton that Cleveland is not the hearty choice OF
" the party in this State, and that though the
" Independent Republicans may prefer him, his
organization would be so distasteful to a largo

There would seem to be warrant for conclud-
ing that the relations existing between harmony
and the New York Democracy have become
somewhat strained.
