The Republicans have rejoiced so sin.
cerely over the escape from the nomina-
ton of Blaine, that they have not taken
into full consider alton the opportunity
that was lost in the failure to nominate
Bristow. We have not changed the opin-
ion so often expressed during the late
Presidential canvass, that Bristow was
the candidate and the only candidate,
whose nomination would be equivalent
to an election. The battle has yet to be
won for Hayes; and the difficulty of his
position is. that he cannot profit by the
hostility of the President, as Bristow
might have done, and that the policy Of
the Administration in the campaign is,
not likely to be potent for good.
A majority of the States are Demo-
cratic. If there is contested Presiden-
tial election, it goes to the House, which
is Democratic. That which the Repub-
licans have to do, therefore, is to beat the
Democracy beyond the chance of con-
test Those who are soliCitous for the
success of the Republican party in this
campaign cannot view without shade
of anxiety the retirement of Secretary
Bristow, especially when they consider
he eccentric orbit in which the Presi-
dents mind revolves when contemplat-
ing Cabinet vaCancies.-Cin Com.

CHINESE LABOR ABANDONED.

Mr.. Sampson, the North Adams shoe
manufacturer, who employs Chinese
workmen, has decided to discharge
them, or rather not to re-engage them,
preferring to give employment to other
residents of the town, who are suffering
severely from the stoppage of several
mills and workshops. Mr.. Sampson has
hired Chinese shoemakers for six years.
In 1870, having suffered much from the
strikes of the Crispins, and being un-
willing to comply with their demands,
he sent his agent, Mr.. Chase, to San
Francisco for Cinnamon, mainly for the
purpose of breaking up the order, be-
tween which and himself bitter war;
fare was waging. The first importation
consisted of seventy five men or boys, for
most of them were between the ages of
sixteen and twenty years. Since that
time several lots have come and returned,
the number employed in the factory
ranging from seventy five to upward of
100. The present number is eighty-fve,
of whom forty, the latest arrivals, were
imported year ago. Some of the first
importation remained four years, and
then returned to China, and have since
come back to this country, and are now
working at Belleville, N. ]. The China
men here all work by the month, on con-
tract for three years or longer. The
prices paid have never been made known
to the public, though they are supposed
to receive from $40 to $25 per month.
Over forty of them are at liberty to go at
any time, the term for which they were
hired having expired They are in no
hurry to return, and would undoubtedly
be glad to renew their contract, but the
opportunity to do so will probably not
be given them.-B0stOn Globe.

A HISTORICAL QUARREL.

One OF the most amusing of the Con-
gresslonal squabbles was between two
gentleman who were never excited bv

D. foote. They were sitting in a room
together at Wizards in 1913, and got
INTO discussion over letter written by
Zen: Taylor. then candidate for the
rresldency.- One word brought on anoth-
eer' and the two grave and reverent
senators were striking from the shoul.
der at each other. The noise of the en-
counter brought neighboring inmates of
the hotel into the room, and the combat
ants were separated, and after some en-
treaty shook hands and made friends.
Really" said Mr.. Foote, ~ should
not have thought of such,a thing as strik-
ing Mr.. Davis if he had not struck the
first blow"
Are you not mistaken about that p
asked Mr.. Davis apologetically.
Indeed, am not retorted the i'm
petuous Mr., Foote.
1T was my impression you struck
first, v pleaded Mr.. Davis.
Oh' ho IL was you
But. Mr. Davis, I'll swear it was

"You did strike first!
"l did not strike first"
"You did,

"You did, say !"
u say didn't
"Well, v exclaimed Mr.. Foote, "there
shan't be any dispute as to who struck
first this time"-and as he spoke he
dealt Mr.. Davis singing blow on the
cheek, The astonished friends sprang
between the two gentlemen, and pre-
vented their further hostilities. Pledges
were exacted from all present to deny
that there had been any Unpleasant
ness, but | have the above from good

The Philadelphia Press don't like the
way it was done. 1t says
Blaine's splendid conflict with his ad-
versaries was not more desperate than
their own remorseless persecution. Like
anoble stag at bay, he baffied them singly
and in detail, and only fell when they
combined against him. Alone he resist
ed and hurled them. They gave him no
pause. They had no thought of him but
fear or hate. They gloried in his Demo-
cratic foes as their allies, and they hailed
his sickness as their best reinforcement.
Morton, Conkling, Bristow knew that
Blaine was the fervent second choice of
their own people. They could not COM
bine on either of themselves to crafty
the deep envy and resentment of the
Washingtonleaders; and so they resolved
to slaughter him at all hazards. Poor,
betrayed Pennsylvania was dragged into
the arena, and set upon the brave young
statesman, while her proud people stood
aloof and saw their delegates forced to
hiss the old Commonwealth to this deed
of shame.
