II Blaine stirred them up in the Senate, the
other day, and they had quite lively time.
Blaine evidently reads the Chief. Two weeks
ago, we spoke of New England selfishness, and
New England treason during the war of 1912, and
particularly referred to Massachusetts politi-
cians The very next week, Blaine made a
speech on presenting the statue of the first Gov
ernor of Maine, to be placed in the Capitol, in
which he took occasion to refer to Massachusetts,
and made almost precisely the same charges that
we did. This brought Hoar and Dawes upon
him, but be proved to much for both, and clinch-
ed his charges by producing the record Western
and Southern Senators enjoyed it hugely.

~ The Silver advocates in Congress have
formed an association, which is very strong.
Col Phillips is one of its officers. Ben. Butler is
q member, and has suggested the idea, that if
the President vetoes the silver bill, and there is
not strength enough to pass it over his veto,
section containing the same provisions should
be attached to the appropriation bills, and none
of them permitted to pass without the silver
section. This would be just the thing. The
section demonetizing silver was attached to a
bill of another character and stolen through
Congress- Bring it home to roost, and cut off
their supplies until it sticks.

MERE BoY.-Our age IS now matter Of
such public interest, that our birth day is as
well known as Washington and the other big
chaps. A Missouri correspondent of the St. Jo-
seph Herald, writing under date Of January 23d,
has this to say about it:
YESTERDAY was Sol. Milers 47th birthday, and now
those who delighted to show their aversion for him.
while he was still publishing his BLACK -Abo'tiOR
Rag at White Cloud. by calling him .Old Sol. Mil
er- may with show of consistency begin to ap-
ply the epithet they 50 delighted in. twenty years
ago. His hair is sprinkled with gray and the years
that have sped by betoken that his boyhOod days
have long since passed, and that the veritable Old
Sol. Miller has now begun the descent toward the
other end of life.
Don't call that old, do you! To be sure, our
hair is slightly sprinkled with gray, but so it
was twenty years ago. 1t is not the result of age
but of early piety. We have never yet felt the
need of specs, and We feel as much a boy We
ever did. And if We have just reached the point
where We enter upon the decline, We have AZ
years still before US. That will make US 81, and
take MS to the year 1925. Haven't we good

THE WAR ENDED.-The Russian and Turkish
war has suddenly come to q close. Turkey has
wilted, completely conquered. The terms of the
treaty are yet q secret, but are said to concede
everything Russia has demanded, including ces-
sion of territory, a large amount of money, free
navigation of the Bosphorus, and favorable terms
to the revolving Turkish provinces. And all this
was done before England got finger in the pie.
She had just decided to pitch in, when the news
came that the funeral was over, before she got
ready to attend, which made her so mad that
some of the Ministry have resigned. The hope
that q general European war would make good
demand for American produce will not be realiz-
ed. Our farmers will have to sell ont to the grass
hoppers.
Later reports say that the peace negotiations
hang fire, and that the Russians are still advanc-
ing toward Constantinople.
