IINCOLN'S RELIGION.

The forthcoming (AuguSt1 number of
the Century will contain a chapter on
Lincoln and the Churches" in the Lin
coin History, by Messrs. Hay and Nico-
lay, from which the following is an ex-
tract from advance sheets:
He was man Of profound and in
tense religious feelings. We have no
purpose of attempting to formulate his
creed; We question if he himself ever did
so. There have been swift witnesses
who, Judging from expressions uttered
in his callow youth. have called him an
atheist, and others who, with the most
laudable intentions, have remembered
improbable conversations which they
bring forward to prove at once his or
thoGoxy and their own intimacy with
him. But leaving aside these apOcry-
phal evidences, We have only to look at
his authentic public and private utter
ances to see how deep and strong iii AL
the latter part of his life was the cur
rent of his religious thought and emo
ton. He continually invited and ap-
preciated, at their highest value, the
prayers of good people. The pressure
of the tremendous problems by which
he was surrounded; the awful moral
significance of the conflict in which he
was the chief combatant: the over
whelming sense of personal responsible
ity, which never left him for an hour
all contributed to produce, in temper
ament naturally serious and predisposed
to spiritual view oflife and conduct, a
sense Ofreverent acceptance of guild
ance of a Superior Power. From that
morning when, standing amid the fall
ing snOwflakes on the railway ear at
Springfield, he asked the prayers of his
neighbOrS in those touching phrases
whose echo rose that night in invoca-
tionS from thousands of altars, to that
memorable hour when On the steps of
the Capitol he humbled himself before
his Creator in the sublime words of the
second inaugural, there is not an eX-
preston known to have come from his
lirs or his pen but proves that he held
himself answerable in every act of his
career to more august tribunal than
any on earth. The fact that he was not
a communicate of any church, and that
he was singularly reserved in regard to
his personal religious life, gives only the
greater force to these striking proofs of
his profound reverence and faith.

THE OHIO IDEA.

From the Irish World.
The gallant Foraker will again lead his
party to victory in Ohio. The mention of
his name not only enthuses his friends,
but stirs all the bile and rancor in Mug
wump nature. The fioodgates of abuse
are already being opened upon the devo-
ted head of Ohio's gallant leader, but we
predict that the intenser the hostility ex-
hibited by the un-American cOterie to
whom the principles of protection and
national sovereignty are so hateful, the
more emphatic will be his Endorsement
by the people of the Buckeye State.
In 1884 the aggressive fight CT Blaine and
Foraker on the tariff issue won the great
est of Western COmmonwealths from the
opposition. Governor Foraker has held
alOft lin sight of the whole country the
banner then raised, and the Mugwumps
have never been able to get grain of
comfort from his administration. They
are in whitehead to-day over the manner
in which the Convention that renomipa-
ted the Governor singled out the appoint
ment of Patrick Egan for special endorse
ment. There is no mistaking what Re
publicanism means in Ohio. Its repre-
sentatives are noted for declaring their
principles so plainly that friend and foe
alike can understand just what they are
driving at. That is the characteristic
which has made its statesmen force in
the public life of our nation. 1t is such
methods that win the respect of citizens
who want to cast their votes intelligent
ly. We commend this Ohio method to
all parties. We admire the man, and we
believe in the platform upon which he
most unequivocally stands. The greater
the majority by which Ohio will express
its confidence in the Foraker ticket, the
keener will be the delight of the Irish
World

AN insane man has surrendered him

AN insane man has surrendered HIM
self and confessed to being the perpe-
traitor of the shocking murders commit
ted in the Whitechapel district of Lon
don. He admits that he not only Killed
the recent victim but that he killed all
the women found under such mysterl-
ous circumstances since the atrocities
began, and says that he used no weapon
but a pocket knife. There is no eVi-
dence to connect him with any OF the
murders, and there is strong probabh-
ity that he is a monomaniac on the sub
iect, and that the real murderer is sui
at large.

THE latest political rumor from New
York is to the effect that ex-Secretary
Whitney has supplanted Mr., Cleveland
in the affections of the Bourbon leaders,
and that he will head the ticket in 1877,
with Mr.. Calvin $. Brice as second man.
As Doodle combine this would just
suit the "anti-plutoerats" of the Demo
cratic party, and there would be no rea-
son for the campaign not running
smoothly for lack of "grease."

THE DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE,

From the Cincinnati COmmercialGazette.
The Mugwump Anglo-mania business
during Mr.. Cleveland's administration is
largely responsible for this reaching of
English capital for the best paying bust
ness enterprises in the United States
Thus far the scheme is not serious. But
we might as well look it in the face now
as when it has advanced closer Its ulti-
mate meaning is lowering of American
wages to the English standard Prima-
rily it is a concession on the part of En-
glish capitalists that a fresh, free, enter
prising country under the protective sys-
TEN is good one in which to invest idle
capital.

A STATEMENT is credited to HdTper's
Weekly that the Tammany Society is
not political organization, but remains
as it was started, benevolent assocla-

made of the public funds of New York.
The funds were distributed for the re-
lief of the poor. The poor consisted of
the members of the Tammany Society.

AGAINST TRUSTS-

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The party which framed and has de-

only in the executive but in the legiSla-
tive branch of the government, and this
party can be relied on now, as it always
has been, to protect the interests of the
people 1t should be understood, once
for all, that the Republicans, so far as
they can reach the trusts at the custom
house, will give no quarter.

THE RAILROAD ROBBERIES.

From the Cincinnati Volksblatt.
1t is significant fact that English cap
italists are interested in our railroads to
the extent of three thousand millions of
dollars. This proves that American roads
pay higher dividends than those of any
other country, and that the American
people are robbed by railroad companies
worse than any other nation on the face
of the globe.

WE ARE ALL RIGHT.

From the New NOrk Press.
A Mugwump exchange gets happiness
by remembering that in recent times the
Democrats have carried Ohio every sixth
year, and that their last victory of the Sc
ries was six years ago. By all means let
the mourning friends make the most of
this. But the Buckeye State has never
yet broken out with political measles on
election day without showing good
many preliminary symptoms of the dis
ease. Now pulse and tongue, respiration
and temperature are as steady as clock.

THAT - so.

From the Chicago Journal
1t is hoped that the report that ex- Pres

templated resignation, for instance. If
were needed to stir up Ohio Re-
publicans that would do 1t.
