MIR. nlaine,s SnePch.

The speech OF Senator BLAINE at Belfast,
Maine, on the finances may be justly re-
garded, we think, as the strongest evidence
Of statesmanship he has ever given. lie
manifestly has made up his mind to take
his stand ON sound doctrines, and bidc his
time, knowing they must ultimately prevail.
In doing this he not only gives proof Of
craftsmanship, but also OF shrcwdncss as u
politician. In this respect GRANT has now
no longer an advantage over him. while If
aGrccnback candidate is to b. taken from
the Republican party it would be- OF no use
Tor BLAINE to compete with BUTLER for that
nomination.
In one statement, as reported, Mr.. BLAINE
seems to have fallen into an error. He says
"The Government needed money. 1t could not get
enough, and did as all men do when they AMI
not pay The Government gave its notes. ati ais hs>
io,l ltmd,r"
The Government was right, being in debt
and unable To paw, to give its note as indi-
viduals do under like circumstance. But
when II made these notes legal tender, il did
what individuals cannot do, and what the
Government ought never to have done.
That was the prolific source Of mischief
from which have sprung most OF our ilnan-
cial woes The specie standard should have
been maintained throughout. Secretary
CHASE knew that this was so theoretically,
and experience proved that II would have
been the better course practically. Indeed,
what was lacking at the time was the moral
courage to adhere to financial policy per-
fectly well understood To be sound. Mr..
CHAsE's overweening ambition to be Presi-
dent got the better OF his knowledge of po-
litical economy.
The Government gained nothing by MAX
ing its notes n legal tender. 1t was every
where regarded, among intelligent iinan-
ciers, as sign Of Ignorance and Of weakness.
II was consequently injurious to the Gov
ernment credit II did no good, and entirely
failed TO accomplish its object. The Govern
ment credit sank until IL could only get one
dollar OF real money for three dollars of its
notes. Had the specie basis been stead
lastly adhered to. we do not believe the
how as this.
Mr.. BLAINE deserves praise for resisting
the temptation by which 50 many Of our
public men have been overcome, TO espouse
the course Of the dcmagogue in reference 10
the finances. II n Republican candidate for
President were to be nominated tomorrow
he might lose some votes on account Of this
speech; but 1t may not be so two years
hence, and, at all events, he has gained
much by it in character, which is worth far
more than Office

Tho rack was long since abolished as n
monstruus and savage invention; hut there
are other ways ~ torturing prisOncrs, and
one Of them seems recently TO have been
brought into uae at Jersey City. II we may
bclicvc-and We have no reason TO doubt q
statement in the Nee York Times relating 90
the treatment Of Mrs. SMITH, the widow OF
the murdered policeman.
No doubt the unfortunate man was killed
in very brutal manner; but because his
assassin was brutal is no reason why other
people should become so His wife may
have been guilty Of this monstrous crime.

is not yet proven, and her jailcrs have no
right TO forget that she IL a woman.
Mrs SMITH is subject TO hysteria. and

New York Democratic Congress ssmen on
Fraud.

As the time is approaching for making
nominations in this State for the next
House, IL is well for the Democrats TO know
precisely how their sixteen members voted
on the lith OF June last on the BURCHARD
and the HAKTRIDGR resolutions. The terms
Of those resolutions are well understood.
Their sole object was to confirm HAYES in
his fraudulent title to the Presidency; and
rs he stole this Office from a Democratic
citizen Of New York. to whom the State
gave majority Of $4,000 it Is highly proper
10 consider tho conduct Of our Democratic
Congressman on this vital subject
JAMES w. COVERT represents tho extreme
Long Island district. He was elected by
5000 majority. He voted for both resoll-
tions. This is his first term in Congress.
We hear that he Is not candidate for
another nomination. This Is n wise and
prudent determination.
WILLIAM d. VEEpER Is serving his first
torn from one Of the Brooklyn districts,
His majority was 1900. He voted for both
resolutions. There will be n largo National
Grecnback- Labor vote in this district. 1t
will be Iudlcious for the Democrats TO nomi-
nate some other man than VEEDER.
Another OF the Brooklyn districts is rep
resented by ARCHIBALD NJ, BLISS. This is
his second term In 1874 he was elected by
i,GO0 majority, and in 1876 by 1000 majority.
Only three Democrats from the State Of
New York voted against both the BURCHARD
and the HARTRIDGE resolutions; and one Of
the three was Mr.. BLISS. He ought to bo
returned to the next House
The member from Il . lower city district
is NICHOLAS MULLER. This is his first
term. There was no regular opposition to
him In 1876. MULLER voted for both resou-
lions. 1t seems probable that this district
Will be very thoroughly shaken up by the
outside factions this fall; and if the Democ-
racy wish to make sure Of it they had better
name new man.
SAMUEL 5. Cox Is now representing the
central district Of the city for the fifth term
In 1876 only forty-Onc votes were cast against
him in that large district. Mr. Cox voted
against both the BURoHARD and tho HART
RIDGE resolutions. lie will Le, as he should
be, triumphantly reelected.

We learn from impartial sources of nfor-
nation that the National Grcenhaek- Labor
movement Is likely to assume such dimensions
in the Twenty ninth Congressional District Of
this State ~ to render the result of the election
in that district very doubtful. The district Is
composed OF the counties Of Chcmung. Stcubcn.
and Aleeany. in which Elmira. Corning. Bath.
Horncllsvillr and some other populous towns
ally strong. The outside faction claims that it
will elect the member OF Congress in a district
where the Republicans have been accustomed
10 get from 5000 TO 1000 majority
We have information Of like tenor from the
Twenty fifth District. which consists Of Onon-
daga and Cortland. and where the Republicans
gave FRANK HIscoCK. now Of the POTTER Com
mttee 1900 minority in 1876. 1t IL asserted
that Syracuse aud some other large towns in
the district are full OF Greenbackers and Labor
Reformers.
We are told that the Thirtieth District made
up OF Monroe and Orleans. and whose chief city
is Rochester is in the same condition.
Intelligence Of q similar character reaches US
from other interior Congressional districts. es-
pecially the Eric district and the Oswego dis
trict. 1t is also said that the Montgomery dis
uict and the Otsego district will be disturbed
10 some extent by the controversies between Mr.
GEORGE CLARK and his tenants. Of which the
Nationals and Labor Reformers are preparing
