BLAINE UP AGAIN.


Mr.. Blaine has seized his opportunity, and is
once more the man of the hour. The patriots
who have been parting his garments among
them may as well abandon that cheerful task.
He is not half so near dead as his
prosecutors. There can be no installing
the concurrent judgment of observers OF all
parties, as to the effect of the dramatic scene
Yesterday in the House. The revulsIon in Mr..
Blaine's favor is instantaneous and Overwhem-
ing If he was the strongest candidate week
ago, he is stronger now.
For what Mr.. Blaine has done is far more than
simply to dispr0ve the allegations against him.
That indeed he has done thoroughly. The
letters about which the c0nfdence-man Multi
gan declared that Blaine was ready to commit
suicide, are given to the world, and are seen
to be harmless. The Boston witnesses
have established nothing whatever against
him. and the fact that they ingeniously raised
such q storm over nothing, serves at once to
reveal their malicious purpose, and to make
them ridiculous. They were the feeble tools
of a conspiracy which their failure exposes and
breaks down.
In war it has always been held wise rule
to do what your enemy doesn't want. This
conspiracy shows just what the Democracy
doesn't want. 1t doesn't want Blaine
to be the Republican nominee. All
other Republican candidates it has let
alone. Against Blaine it has evidently
exhausted all its resources. 1t was
willing to let any other man get the
nomination. Blaine, it was resolved to
keep off the track. The Republicans
will not be slow to take the hint, and we
count Mr.. Blaine to-day a stronger candidate
for the support of the Republican party than
he has been on any day since his candidacy
was first mentioned
For the rest, he has won the hearty admlra-
ton of foes as well as friends, for the right
manly way in which he has borne himself
through this most trying ordeal. Our
political history shows few instances III
which candidate not yet before the
people has been so venomously
| pursued, and none in which the persecution
has been better endured or more successfully
repelled. Mr.. Blaine may not be the next
President, and he may even fail of the Repub-
lican nomination though certainly for that his
prospects were never fairer. But he
has made it tolerably certain that no
confidential clerk Selling harmless private let
tiers to his employers on business will soon
| again figure "a a potent engine of reform and
the controlling power in Presidential election !!

blessings which it has brought him, ana the
bappiness which has followed the preaching Oh
the faith in all tongues to all nations. lie
hardly recalls the gloom and grief OF that first
Wbitsupday. when the little band of original
believers were still heavy-hearted for the de-
narture of their leader and teacher, and were
vet full of the mystery of the resurrection and
ascension But it is with this, as WIFI
all Our sacred feasts. We keep them accord
ing to the way of our day and generation.
No matter how sublime the occasion, we be-
take ourselves to the table. Human happiness
naturally resorts to eating and drinking, 10
singing and dancing Whenever we are not
warned by the tragic character OF the story
into sobriety and fasting, we connect the mem
orv of it with our old customs and recrea-
tons. So we all keep Christmas, and so
Whitsuntide is kept by those who keep 1t at all.
Religious observance is so much matter Oh
natural temperament that to criticise 1t ac-
cording to any rigid rule would hardly be
profitable Those who still adhere in limited
way to the ascetcism of the Puritans will be
slow TO believe in the religious influence OF
merry-making like that of yesterday. I'm

We are blind to all except immediate results
The point of penance we can see with half an
eye We naturally believe that man Is III
earnest when he puts on hair shirt, nogs
himself, and fasts almost to the point OF
starvation; but when upon a holiday,
which is also holy day, he dances,
and drinks, and treats himself to rural
pleasures, we think that he has forgotten
the serious nature of the occasion. SO he has,
perhaps, for the moment. But we must con-
slider the whole influence OF such pastlmes
upon his whole life. He may not necessarily
neglect the fasts because he Is careful to keep
the feasts. There is religion in good fellow
ship. There Is fraternity even in the drinking
together of beer. Whether there may also be
excess depends upon character. Every year
Christmas is abused, but who for that reason
proposes to give up Christmas7

VHITSUNTIDEPF MONDAY

Yesterday the German population of this and
the neighbOring cities celebrated, after their
usual fashion, the old pentecOstal season,
adopted and naturalized as Whitsuntide by the
Christian Church. This observance carries
back our thoughts to the earliest religious an
tiquty. 1t is a connecting link between
the Old and New Dispensations. 1t perpetu-
ates the Feast of Weeks" of the Hebrews.
1t commentaries the marvellous and miracu-
lous descent of the Holy Ghost upon the little
congregation gathered together according to
the ancient law, when new faith filled their
hearts and new forms of speech were put into
their mouths, so that "every man heard them
speak his own language" II was the favor
lite season of baptism among the early Chris
tians. Those who received the ordinance put
on white garments, and thus q name was
given to the anniversary which it still retains.
Yesterday the religious day was put to the
accustomed secular uscs-tO professions and
picDics, to dancing and singing, and the drink
ing of beer. There is strange but not an
unusual contrast between the awful solemnity
of the primal Whitsuntide and the meIriment
with which its return is now greeted. The
modern devOtee considers mainly the joyous
side of the institution. If he thinks of his

secret sympathy of Russia. Greece has always
coyeted-in fact, claimed as of rght-the pos
session of Eprus and Thessaly, and without
the speedy intervention of some power III
favor of Turkey. she is very likely to get
them now. The prospect of successful rising
among all the Christian subjects OF Sultan
Murad grows fairer every day. The promised
reforms have not yet been proclaimed, ana inc
time is very near at hand, if not already
arrived. when any promises whatever VIII DC
met with the cry of "Too late !"
Meantime the Great Powers are doing moth
ing. England seems to have been playing n
game of bluff so far, and is stupeiicd to find
that her adversaries will not be scared.
Russia is probably satisfied that the revolt
ton, unadcd, is fully able to cope with the
power of Turkey in the same condition, ana
is only concerned in having free fight and
no interference If this can be secured, Ger
many, also, will have no reason to object.
Austria on every account, is nervously deslr-
ous to secure immediate peace The policy OF
France is pacific no doubt honestly 80, out
still somewhat reserved.
As matters stand at this moment England
can go TO further without making herself vir-
tually the ally of Turkey, under circumstances
which would stamp her as the protector OF
Islam against Christianity. Such step would
he followed by the alliance of Russia with the
Slavic instruction, and the two Powers would
be brought once more into collision. If Russia,
whose statesmen are too shrcwd not to pro-
vide for all possible contingencies, is assured
of the quiet neutrality of Germany and France
IN such case, she may await England's next
movement with entire cOmplacency.

Same banks . - -
OF the eight banks which last week held in
all less reserve than is required by law, the
First National has made up its reserve by in
creasing its specie, and now holds a smaller
lcgal-tender reserve than any other. while the
Mechanics Banking Association has promptly
raised its lega-tender reserve to "a per cent.
The Greenwich, Peoples, North America,
Nassau, Oriental, and German American still
hold less reserve than the law requires, and
thirteen banks ont of the seventeen still hold
as legal-tender reserves less than 20 per cent
of deposits. Deducting the Mechanics Banking
Association and the Tenth National, there re-
main ten banks which now hold $2,946,9 900
in legal tenders to protect $22,0S2, 700 in
deposits, or only 13 per cent The specie re-
serve of these banks is $685. 900, or IL per
cent, 80 that in the aggregate they fall little
short of the legal requirement. BY way of
contrast we add the returns of the eight
strong banks named last week, which per-
sistently hold strong reserve

So the ex-Rebels on the Committee were going to
break down Blaine if they could, and Proctor Knott
was willing to suppress dispatches that cleared
him of the Infamous charges under which he was
rosting-till after Cincinnati. Very well; Cincin-
natl is likely to take that hint Republicans will
appreciate the Democratic anxiety to keep Blaine
from being nominated.

The Committee appointed to look into the
important question of the State Capitol at
Albany have decided to accept the design OF
Messrs. Eidlitz, Richardson and Olmsted up
to the roof line. There has been some disSatis-
faction expressed with the treatment OF the
roof itself by these architects, it being thought
that they have gone as much too far in the
pursuit of simplicity as the maker of the orig
inal farrago did in his pursuit of ugliness and
impertinence. The lines and messcs of the
new roof halted midway between baroness
and grandeur But considerations of economy
had probably something to do with this, and
the designer of the proposed tower is doubt
less able to design roof as noble to lead up
to it. Let us hope that there is no perad-
venture about carrying out the design for the
tower.

STRONGER BANKS.

Once more the Associated Banks as body
have largely increased their reserves. Even IN
specie there has been a moderate increase OF
1920, 300, the First National having swelled
its report by $331,200. The gain in legal
tenders is $2,476,1OO, and, Notwithstanding
an increase of $2,217,900 in deposits, the
proportion of legal tender to deposits is now
24.51 per cent The position is not quite rs
strong as it was at this time in 1870 or 1874,
but the banks as a whole hold reserve sui
fciently large to meet all probable emergen-
cics. The following shows the position and
clearings last week, and for corresponding
weeks of previous years:
