CoNKLING VS. BLAINE.

Tho Rfeatry No Longer Eetsts for Blaine
Has Declared that ConkIing Is the Mar,
for the Emergency.
[Chicago Tribune.
In direct connection with the Presidential
story, which Gail Hamilton may or may not
approve, is current in political circles here.
This story runs to the effect that Senator
Blaine, on his way home from his successful
political journeyings in Iowa and other
Western States, fell in with an old friend
and admirer, who is also we'll known and ex-
ceedingly active in New Jersey politics.
After little the conversation naturally turn
ed to the subject of the next Presidency.
The Republican outlook at that time was
particularly gloomy, with the shadow of the
Maine and Ohio election returns hanging
over it. None of the signs of promise now
so plentiful were then discernible, and it
was after some remarks recognizing the
general unhopefulness, that the Senator
asked his Jersey follower frankly and
squarely:
"Who, in your opinion, do the Republicans
of this country demand as their leader to
victory and the White House in 1892"
The ardent admirer replied, without hesita-
ton, and SO something about which there
could be no possible doubt, that the Ameri-
can people in mass called loudly for just one
man, and that man was James G. Blaine, of
Maine.
To the ardent admirers astonishment, Mr..
Blaine declared emphatically that he did not
think 80, and that his friend was much in
error if he thought so, and must change his
views. The Senator went on to say, in sub
stance, that he was not the man for this
crisis. This was timel when personal
ambition should be subordinated to the ma
tons veal. The man the people demanded
was the man who could most certainly lead
them to success. There was present to his
thought such man, great and representa-
tive Statesman, of high and enlightened
views, of superior intellect, or rare executive
ability and personal popularity, well qualified
to so govern as to make the nation powerful
at home and respected abroad; man in
many respects the very foremost Statesman
in the land, in honoring whom the nation
would do honor to itself, and that man, the
Senator added as close to his enthusiastic
eulogy, was the Republican Senator from
New York-Roscoe Conkling!
Had the ardent admirer received blow
from theaMaine Statesman's fist, he could
not have been moro taken aback. For as he
was devoted follower of Blaine, so was he
downright enemy of Conkling. Thus tc
hear his friend put forward with highest
praise former foe to both was almost toe
much, and he had doubted the evidence of
his senses but for repetition from Mr.
Blaine of the opinion that Conkling, and moi
Blaine, was the man for the people.

A CALIFORNIA CRITIC.
He Cruelty Eacortates Washiagton
Poet.

He Cruelty Encortates a Was1.i,gton
Poet.
San Jose Herald Argus
William G. LIE Duc an obscure author of
Washington, d. c., has forwarded to us a
large volume of poems in the blankest
kind of verse on the most absurd subjects.
We suppose he wants US to gush about the
tender pathos, rhythmical measure. and
elevated sentiments of the following:
The chinch-bug is confined in its depreda-
lions
To the grasses and cereals: alternate
Your timothy, wheat, barley, corn, ETC.,
Upon which it hourishes, with any of
The numerous crops upon which it cannot
flourish
And you materially affect its power for harm.
Or maybe he would like to have full
some compliment on the classic beauty of
such incomprehensible trash as this:
Bombus pennsylvanicus is figured,
These insects are destroyed
ny vollceilous conops, or tachina,
And several species of anthomla;
Anthras (diptera) anobrium, beetle,
Meloe and slylops (coteopteri),
Antherophagus (Holy Moses save us),
And also by the chalcis or four-winged ly.
This last elegant epic is illustrated by
gaudy cuts of Rocky mountains locust
Washers and patient horse power bug-crush-
ers, stolen from the patient-off art gallery,
to say nothing of two full-page chromos Of
creeping, crawling, and flying monsters of
terrific and demoniacal aspect, that must
have been conceived by some fearful!y and
wonderfully intoxicated artist in the very
crisis of the jim-jams. The book ought to
be suppressed at once. 1t is not only most
execrable piece of literary bladerdash, but
the extracts given above show that its tend
ency is to corrupt the morals of the youth
of this country and pander to the yitiated
taste for the sensational and false views of
life created in their minds by unrestricted
persual of the San Francisco papers. That
there may be no mistake, we will state that
this pernicious volume is entitled depart

The Ameer allowing the British governments

the Ameer allowing the British governments
to have access to positions in his territory,
except Cabul, where they could acquire trust
worthy intelligence of events likely to
threaten the tranquility and independence
of Afghanistan. These oyertures were re.
jected In very contemptuous and insolent
manner, and coupled with it was the fact that
the government had evidence going to prove
an alliance between the Ameer and Russia in
lmlcal to British interests in Turkestan.
This left the government no alternative but
to demand full and ample apology for the
treatment of the British embassies, which on
two occasions were refused access to the coun-
try. This was done, and no reply having
been received, it only remained for the gov
eminent to order an invasion of the territory.
The territory of Afghanistan comprises an
area of about 100000 square miles, four
ffths of which consists of rocks and noun
tains. The nature of the country is admira-
bly, adapted for defense against an invading
army, and there are many points strategically
situated 80 as to enable mere handful of
large army. The population numbers a
little over five millions, and the men, more
especially in the mountain districts, are
warlike, brave, and crafty race. They are
able to subsist on the products of the coun-
try, and could endure long siege without
suffering. The army of England that has
been detailed for the invasion consists of
about twenty thousand European and seventy
thousand Indian troops. The latter will no
doubt prove the most effective. For many
years they have been anxious for war with
Afghanistan, that they might avenge wrongs
of long standing, and will enter upon the
campaign with great enthusiasm. The
European troops will find as much occupa-
ton in restraining their Indian allies from
committing excuses as in fighting the
enemy. In addition to the Indian troops,
England will have the active cooperation of
many of the tribes bordering on Afghanistan,
the progress of the negotiations. These will
be able to render valuable assistance,
especially in the hill country.
The aspect of the difficulty that has ex-
cited the gravest apprehensions in England
has been the possibility -and frequently it
has seemed almost a certainty--that Russia
would espouse the cause of the Afghans.
If such should prove to be the case, the war
would neither be a brief nor an inconsequent
one as regards the destiny of both Europe

the management of Russia's diplomacy, the
prospect of Russia participating in the con-
flict has been greatly dimir ished, and if
England confines herself to redressing her
wrongs and does not trench upon the
interests of the Muscovite power, she need
have little to fear from Russian interference.
Such, at least, is the present prospect

The Democratic majority in the House,
Judged by actual returns, grows less and less.
How many honestly-elected Republicans can
yet be ousted by unblushing trickery remains
to be seen. The North is not in very good
temper just now to be further insulted in that
line. Patience should not be misconstrued by
an arrogant oligarchy for indifference. A dread
full mistake might be mado in that way.-Phil-
aQel'hia Press.
So! You don't seem to like your own
medicine. and are fearful lest you may be
compelled to take dose of it. You never
seem to remember how mercilessly you
poured the nauseous mixture down the throats
of the Democrats when you had the power,
and how causelessly you kicked legally elect
ed members out of the House. It IS very
evident that guilty conscience needs no
accuser.

On Saturday last call was made by the

of 500 bonds of 1866. There now remains
outstanding of consols of 1865, $57,OOO,-

600, so that the entire amount of per cent.
bonds now outstanding is 1858, 100000,
nearly one-third of the ent ire bonded debt.
The question has frequently been raised
whether on the approach of resumptio n-day
and the coin obligations which will then
have to be met, it would be either practicable
or advisable for the treasury to continue the
calling IN and redemption of bonds. Secre-
tary Sherman in his interview in April last
with the House committee on banking and
currency, IN answer to similar question by
Gen. Ewing, made the following reply: "In

600 in actual gold in the treasury, while at
the same time we were making calls at the
rate of 81 100000 day, and therefore your
conclusion does not follow. Accumulation

by refunding. Actual experiment. shows it.
whenever we have made calls we have ac-
cumulated coin" When this statement was
made there were $80,00O,OOO of gold in the
treasury, and, according to the secretary.
there are now $137, 100000, showing an in
crease of $57,00O,000 since April last, al
though by the reconciliation of silver the
flow of gold from customs sources has
ceased. Treasury officials say this condition
OF affairs is largely due to the vast decrease
in the demands made upon the treasury for
gold, owing to the balance of trade being so
largely in favor of this country. The offer
made by the secretary of the treasury some
time ago, to redeem $50,O0O,OoO of called
5-2O bonds before the date when the interest
would cease, illustrates this fact, for it is
stated at the treasury that of these $50, OOO.-
600 of bonds, barely $1,OOO,OOO has been
presented for redemption, showing plainly
that gold is not in demand, and that holders
prefer to receive their 6 per cent. interest to
the coin which their redemption would
BRING. The treasury people further say that

versed, and the balance of trade were against

treasury would not have been possible, nor
would it have been possible to meet the de-
mands of the coin obligations which the re-
