Not Settled Yet.

And now by his explanation of those let
ters, supposed to contain damaging evidence
against him, Blaine again seems to rise superior
to the desperately wicked" committee whose
sole purpose was, if possible, to destroy him.
The scene 10 the house on Monday, when the
ex.speaker charged the committee with sup
pressing telegram corrobOrating certain tes-
timOny generating him, is said to have
been dramatic. Long roars Of applause
greeted the stroke dealt by master hand to
an inscriptions enemy, and partizans Of
strongly opposite views, who were present.

some averring that his last coup d etat was
worth more than ten state conventions tow.

leadership and his ability TO 6ght singe-

that the democracy would prefer the nomi-

will differ among loyal men as to the wis

the question Of amnesty. But the policy Of
playing strong hand with those who are
rebels still, instead Of throwing pearls to
them, may, after all, be necessary. 1t is
plain that affairs have not reached that con-

rience. Stanch, bold, inaexible as he has
been in the discharge of his official duties,
1t still remains question whether he has
the many.sided fitness Of a president for
country like ours. The breaking Of rings is
only the first step in civil service reform.
The whole system is to be regenerated, while
the by no means subordinate problems of
financial and civil rights, continually call
for solution. just now political straws indi-
cate nothing conclusive and no man can say
what shall be the developments between to-
day and next Friday.
There turks in the public mind suspicion
against any man who deals largely in rail-
road bonds aud who influences legislation
iavorably to railroads or secures government
contracts. 1t is this that the judiciary CON-
mittee would prove against Blaine by reveal.
ing his correspondence with Fisher, Massa-
chusOtts railroad contractor. What effect
the publishing of these letters, fourteen in
all, will have upon the public mind, is diff
cult to say. One thing is certain that the
republican party will assume no risks in the
man it puts at the head Of its ticket.

Brooklyn Sabbath School Anniversary.

Wednesday, May "a, was great day for
the Sabbath school children Of Brooklyn,
and | might say also for children of mature
years, for men and women, it is said, are
only children Of an older growth. This was
more particularly the cbildrens' day and the
city was given over to them. Not only was
it Sabbath school anniversary, but it was
made grand centennial celebration, also.
The thunder shower Of Monday night had
cooled the air and prepared the way for
pleasant weather. Anxiously did many
little one watch the golden beams which her.
aided the break of day. Thousands of bright
eyes opened wide upon the glorious sunshine
that morning. Thousands OF little hearts
thrObbed with delight in expectation of the
pleasures TO come. Reliable estimates put
the number taking part in the exercises and
parades at fifty thousand and upwards, and
more than double that number were spec
tatOrs, and it is thought that nearlys quarter
Of million Of people participated either di.
rectly or indirectly in the celebration. The
schools were not all gathered at one place,
but we're divided into seven divisions.
First there were church exercises lasting
about an hour, aud between one and two
o'clock the schools took up their line OF
march to the different places where they we're
to parade. All who could leave their bust.
ness turned out TO witness the exercises
Extra cars were put on the street lines and
every one leading TO or near the parks where
the children were to center were quickly
filed, Every available carriage was brought
into service. A more generous display Of
bunting was never known in Brooklyn. All
the public buildings were covered with flags
and streamers. The United States buildings
threw out the national colors, as did pub
lie places of resort. Every man who owned
flag brought it out, and should judge as
passed through the city aud witnessed the
display that nearly every person did own a
sorts, sizes and ColOrs. Nearly every nation
atty was represented, and one might judge
they were celebrating battle where all had
gained victory. The streets were thronged
with admiring friends and spectators, and
cheer after cheer rent the air as the little
army trudged along. The infant classes were
placed at the head of each school, and some
Of the little men, as one reporter expresses it,
reminded him fOrcibly Of the scriptural
character who rejoiced in the designation Of
knee.high-am-l." Every school had young
girls dressed in red, white aud blue. In
most cases white dresses covered with gold
stars, red sashes and blue hats. Some com.
panies wore the Continental hat. The small
or schools had thirteen girls in white repre-
senting the thirteen original states, aud the
larger thirty seven, and each one carried
little silk flag representing the national cOl-
orS, aud were otherwise decked more or

Concerning the fast train which crossed
the continent in eighty-three hours the fol-
lowing appears in a Chicago paper;
Extraordinary caution had been taken to
make the new arrangement work without a
hitch. Each employee, from Pittsburgh to
Chicago, had been notified by letter of what
was expected of him; furthermore, general
orders had been issued, COY ering in detail
every point and lastly, from the moment
the train started the telegraph was in con-
tnual requisition. The train dispatcher sat
at the instrument the entire day. As soon
as station on the route was passed-which
was on an average every eight minutes
click, click, click went the instrument,
noting the time, which was Immediately
compared with the special table, and thus to
a fraction of mile it could be ascertained
at any moment where the train was boom
ing The necessity for exact knowledge on
this point will be appreciated when it is
stated that between Crestline and Chicago
the special was compelled to meet thirty.four
trains and pass twelve. Altogether for the
distance provision had to be made to avoid
collision with forty-six trains, which required
the incest calculation, inasmuch as the spec
ial was running not only in fact, but techni-
eally, wild
II had been determined that even in spite
of accidents they were of a KIND TO
smash things into kingdom come-there
should be no unnecessary delay, and to this
end extra engines, with steam fully up to
the racing point, were stationed all along
the road at intervals of forty miles, and thus
if one engine gave out prematurely another
could DO speedily substituted. There was
also on board an expert telegTaFher, with

ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The Court of Claims. which has had
its time extended six months more, has q
new species Of demand brought before
1t, backed by n recent letter from Caleb
Gushing. the veteran diplomat, who
rendered such valuable assistance to the
United States Government at Genoa.
II was discovered sometime ago that
after oil the direct claims had been filed
and aggregated there would still remain
one and one-half million dollars una
varded. This the insurance companies
claimed as compensation for losses on
vessels destroyed by confederate cruisers
and paid for by the underwriters. The
argument was asserted in opposition
that on account OF the extra risk the in.
surance companies had advanced the
general rates Of marine insurance and
had in reality made money in.
stead Of losing it. And now
comes this letter from Caleb Gushing
wherein he says that the extra million
and half was intended by the High
Joint Commission TO cover the expense
to merchants and shippers entailed by
the extra war premium. SO that the mer-
chants throughout the country who in
war times paid the high rate Of insurance
are combining and hiring attorneys to
put their case through. This disposition
looks the fairest. The next thing in or.
der is: How much does the astute Caleb
get for his opinion?

The late bitter discussion In the Senate

The late bitter discussion in the Senate
reads well. To show that he had not. as
charged, thrown of on his Republican
friends. President Grant sent a special
message In reference to the Hamburg
massacre " to Congress, simply for po-
litical effect. and used the prestige a
" Presidents message possesses to
create some more bitter feeling, as il
enough did MT exist already. Then
commenced sectional wrangle. lasting
four or five days, at cost of 800. 1000 a
day. whether 10000 copies of the NAM
burg message should or should not be
printed and distributed. Rather costly
campaign printing whichever way it
goes.
