The country will read the report Of yes
terday's Investigations of the charges
against Mr.. Blaine with profound sorrow
and regret. They will leave but one i'm
preston on any fair mind. Whether he
has had corrupt relations with railway man
ayers or not. he has damaged his case be-
yond recovery by the method he has taken
to suppress written evidence Of his transac-
tione, and by actually taking . package. of
documents from witness called by tho
government to testify in the case. He COM
mitted . grave misdemeanor in visiting
and trying to tamper with the witness
at all. and il he used the language of
confession and entreaty that 10 asRib-
uted to him. he has virtually acknow-
lodged to much to be explained away.
That he snatched the papers from Mr.. Mul-
ligsn and still holds them in his possession,
refusing to give them up, convicts him of
conduct which NO honorable man would re.
sort to under any circumstances, much less
when, aspiring to the highest Office in the
country, he 10 accused of q grave crime.
His recent conduct, with the facts that have
lately come to light, 10 enough to satisfy
the great body Of the people that if he is
not guilty of al he is accused of he has
done what NO prominent officer in the gov
of the House of Representatives to dabble
in railway bonds and act - . broker in
railway stocks, and enter into complex
arrangements with railway epeculators and
capitalists to advance their interests, while
advising friends where to place their money
to the best advantage, is . misuse
of An honorable position and trust,
if not an actual misdemeanor. The dis
closures yesterday demolish Mr.. Blaine's
lsst hope of nomination at Cincinnati.
He is an impossible candidate henceforth.
Even though innocent Of any crime, he is
too deeply involved in doubtful complics-
tions and is too heavily overweighted with
charges to be available. No candidate
could be elected ON explanations. Mr..
Blaine has too many explanations to make;
he asks people to read and believe alto
gether too much; he raises too many unaH-
swersble questions to be thought of a. .
possible candidate. His smartness has
been his ruin. He has too much specular
tion in his eye. He has outwitted himself,
and it is with profound regret that We drop
the name of this really able, experienced
man, from whom the country expected 90
much, from the list of possible Presidents.
His discontinue reduces the number of
actual candidates and increases the chances
of Mr.. Conkl'ng, who a week ago was re-
garded as almost out of the count.-Ne,c

1t happened on the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road. The train had Just left Easton. and
the conductor was making his first round.
when he observed small white dog. with
bushy tail and bright black eyes sitting
costly on the seat beside young lady 80
handsome that it made his heart roll over
like lop-sided pumpkin. But duty was
duty, and he remarked, in his most depre-
catory manner.
"rm very sorry. madam, but it's against
the rules to have dogs in the passenger
cars"
''Oh, my is that 80 p and she turned
up two lovely brown eyes at him. beseech.
ingly. "What in the world will dop l
can't throw him away. He's present
from my aunt"
"By no means. miss. Wen put him in

as robin in spring."
"What put my nice white dog In mas
ty, stuffy, dusty baggage carp"
"rm awfully sorry miss, do assure
you. but the rules of this company are as
inflexible as the laws of the Medes and
them other fellows, you know. He shall
have my overcoat to lie on, and the brake
man shall give him grub and water every
time he opens his mouth"
II just think it's awful mean, SO do;
and ! know somebody will steal it, 80 they
will" and she showed half notion to cry
that nearly broke the conductors heart;
but he was firm. and sang out to the brake
man, who was playing q solo on the stove:
"Here, Andy, take this dog over into
the baggage car, and tell 'em to take just
the best kind of care of him."
The young lady pouted, but the brake
man reached over and picked the canine
up as tenderly as though it was two
weeks'-old baby, but as he did so q
strange expression came over his face, like
wave of cramp collie, and he said hastily
to the conductor:
"Here, you just hold him a minute till
put this poker away" and he trotted out
at the car door and held ON to the brake
wheel, shaking like man in an ague.
The conductor no sooner had his hands
on the dog than he looked around for
hole to fall through.
"Wh-why, this is q worsted dog"
"Yes, sir" said the little miss, demure.
ly, "didn't you know that"
mo, I'm awful sorry to say didn't
know that" and he laid the Christmas
dog down on the owners lap, and walked
out on the platform. where he stood half
an hour in the cold, trying to think of
hymn tune to suit the worst sold man on
the Lehigh Valley road.
