The Ohio campaign i, being fought
mainly on the national issues of pro-
lection and free silver coinage. The
silver heresy is well calculated to be-
fiddle some of the farmers who pine
for a currency that will pay one hun

cents of value, bat do not stop to con-

The fanatcism of some sections of the
West for fit money is difficult of COM
prehension 10 the average Eastern
mind; but its existence is a fact, if a
lamentable one. 1t is the smouldering
spark of greenbackism of dozen years
ago; of the Bland policy of later
date, and ii needs little tanning to
start it into flame again. From the
New England point of view, it is the
rankest of financial polity; but in the
wild and woolly West, where all values
are more or less inflated, it does not
seem incongruous. 1t i, this fact
which renders the fallacy 30 hard to
overcome, even in state no further
west than Ohio, and the election re-
turns may possibly show that the silver
folly has found many TO embrace it.
The Ohio republicans are making a
gallant fight. BY all the traditions and
hereditary interests of that state it
should BE- winning fight, and will be
if the agricultural interest chooses not
to obstruct its own pathway. The OUT
look is certainly hopeful-and there is
yet left another month in which to sill
further advance the party's position.

THEY have very effective but
somewhat questionable way of settling
strikes in Arkansas. The colored cot
ton-pickers have been exercising their
divine right to leave off work just
when they are most needed, and some
of them were riotous withal. A party
of nine of the number arrested was in
charge of sheriff, one day last week,
when a posse of men overlook them,
and the whole nine were hung without
ceremony. The "labor problem will
doubtless disappear for the season on
the Arkansas cotton plantations.

GENERAL BoULANGER, the most
prominent man in France in the past
five years, committed suicide by shoot
ing himself through the head at the
grave of his mistress at Brussels. The
woman, whose name was Nine. Bonnie
main, died few months ago, and
her death, or the loss of her money,
disheartened Boulanger and drove him
to the fatal act. The brilliant adven-
turer was soldier of acknowledged
skill and valor. In the French cam
paigns in Italy, Cochin China and
Tunis he did good service, and in the
FrancO-German war he was with
Marshal Bazaine at Metz and made his
escape with a few other officers to
Paris before the capitulation. In put

THE Boston Journal, that long time
member of almost every republican
family in New England, has donned a
new dress, made in the latest style for
newspaper, namely, the octave form.
Its Old friends would hardly know it at
first sight, but its voice is not changed
and its conversation is still on the top
les of vital interest to New England
ers. 1t is unnecessary to say that it is
as frank and uncompromising in its re-
publicanism as ever. Under the man
agement of Mr.. O'Meara the Journal
promises to be somewhat less con-
servative in its treatment of news, but
sensationalism, we may be sure, will
find no place in its columns. The
Journal is dignifed. reliable and en-.

success which it has had and which it:

Laughing eyes and tripping feet,

Daisy blooms and flowers Of clover
You to inc picture bring
OF long lost sunny spring;
Waving woods aand sunset skies
Rise like dreams of paradise.

Hold for you their memories;

You shall, happy, ons day stand,
Keep your childish faiths az sweet
As the blossoms at your feet;
Though Your hands no more run over

With the wind tossed. sunny hair,
Shall You flush at loves sweet praises,

Woman's hopes and wotnnn's love,
Sweetness sent by heaven above,
With these shall your hands ruu over,
Dropping daisy blooms and clover.

As to dress, he despised dandies, never

be paid by producers to creditors and
the burden Of anxiety and interest
will be diminished. The money thus
paid over will very soon be seeking re-

change upon the value of securities
and all kinds Of property should not

lars of eastern and foreign money will
come to Minneapolis, and from this
city it will DO sent out to pay for the

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH LOCOMO:
TIVE SPEEDS.

Our readers are aware that Ameri-
can railroads transport freight at a
lower rate than the roads Of any
other country, and that the british
railways exact more for such service
than the roads of any other manufac-
turing country. But until lately the
British locomotives have held the
record for the fastest time. Their
best records for a short distance run
and for a long distance have been de-
cisively beaten within month.
The run made on August 81, by
train on the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad, according to thei Railroad
Gazette Of September Is, averaged
from the sixth to the tenth mile in
elusive, 81 miles per hour. "This
speed for the five miles was the fast

tic record for any distance" The
time having been taken by careful OBJ
servers reading from a ''fifth second
chronograph" Mt every mile post.
The train, including engine, weighed

made q more wonderful run on the
the 14thth inst, going from the Grand
Central depot in this city to Buffalo,
436s miles, in 1891 minutes beating
all previous records for sustained"
The stops aggregated "A minutes and
Is seconds, making the time actually
under motion 425 minutes and IA sec
onds. And the average speed, in
Guiding stops, was 1886 miles per
hour, OF excluding stops, 61.56 miles
per hour. This train weighed with
engine, about 23O tons.
In 1888 the London and North
western ran au express train from
London to Edinburg, 400 miles,
against 4 train on the Great Northern
and North Eastern 1926 miles The
best inclusive time made BY tho first
