SILVER TICKET WINS.

Arkansas Elects Jones Governor by a Majority 0/80,000. The election in Arkansas Monday was practically a victory for principle rather than party, as both democrats and populists united to show their devotion to the free silver cause and rolled up a majority of 80,000 for Daniel W. Jones, the democratic candidate, this effectually counteracting any influence that the Maine election may have had on the public mind. The democrats elected the full state ticket. There was a complete republican ticket in the field and the populists and prohibition ists named candidates for gubernatorial honors. Prior to the election democratic leaders strained every nerve to make their men win by a large majority in order to counteract the moral effect of the 39.000 majority secured by the.republicans in Vermont. The populists of Ark ansas were induced to scratch their candidate and cast almost a solid vote for Jones.

Since the Reformation, no such general religious awakening has been experienced as that which marks the closing years of the nineteenth century and the question discussed in the September Arena by I. N. Tayler, “Is a Universal religion Possible?” is one that has. exercised many minds. While of course, all discussions of this nature must be merely speculative in character. Mr. Taylor handles the question in such a broad, comprehensively, and unorthodox manner that his paper cannot fail to be of great interest to all those to whom the great subject of religion appeals.

The September Arenk contains a paper by James Malcolm, on “A Remarkable Statistical Report,” which discloses revelations as startling as did Mr. Stead’s “If Christ came to Chicago.” It deals with the statistical report recently issued by the Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics, and points out the frightful injustice done to the great industrial population of the country your present unfair system of taxation, which multiplies the burdens of the poor man by adding to his already too heavy load that which should be borne by the rich man. This paper should be read throughout the length and breadth of the land, and the question it discusses should be agitated until a just and equitable system of taxation is established. In the September Arena Rev. B. W. Williams discusses the “Evils of Land Monopoly,” and in a short but pithy paper shows the baleful results which flow from monopoly in land—the gift of the Creator to his creatures, but which has been wrenched from them by grasping syndicates and private monopolists. Mr. Williams points out the extent to which foreign landlordism prevails in the United States and gives a long list of the names of foreign dukes barons and earls, also of American syndicate and private monopolists who own vast tract of land .1 in this country, with the number 'of acres held by each which is 'very suggestive,
