Turning from the thoughtful and carefully composed essay of Mr. Melish the reader comes upon E. L. Belisle's "Dialogues of the Half Dead"--the order is rather reversed since Mr. Belisle's sketch occupies the opening pages of the issues.

It had been bought by the Democratic Enquirer, its dominant and sole rival in the morning field. To the casual reader of the announcement the "purchase" might have been effected the day before.
