Blaine and Massachusetts.

Z. V. Smalley in his Tribune correspond
ence says:
The hostility of Massachusetts, to Blaine is
one Of the curious problems of current poll
tics. All the other New England States are
friendly to him. Maine and Rhode Isla,
have given him their vote, New Hampshire
will do the same. llalfof the Connecticut dele
gates support him. Vermont would support
him if she had not a candidate of her own.
Massachusetts alone, assuming superior po-
litical morality, protesting to see something
in Mr.. Blaines character which warrants her
hostility. At the Cincinnati Convention in
1876 she stood like a surly dog in the way of
his success. Since then her hostility has
been revived and intensified by his attack upon
her in the Fisher Statue speech. and she is
now bristling with fury. Most of Mr.. Blaine's
friends thought that speech the most injudi-
cious act Of his life. He seemed to go out
Of his way to irritate State whose oppose
ton cost him the nomination in 1876. and
whose delegates might have it in their power
to again defeat him this year. heard quite
another view from Maine man
whom l met on the cars the other
day, and who insisted that Blaine made the
speech after careful deliberation as to its
effect "You see" said this gentleman, 1.-THE
Massachusetts, people have never forgiven us
for separating from them and setting up a
State Of our own. They think we ought to
have been proud to be an appanage of Massa-
chusetts for all time. Whenever a Maine
man becomes prominent in national affairs
they always sheer and roll up the whites of
their, eyes, as if they knew something shock
ingly bad about him il they only cared to tell
it. This sort Of thing is damaging to man
in other States 1t hurt Blaine in 1876 He
got tired of submitting to it, and determined.
- the lawyers say. to change the issue and
give Massachusetts good reason for her op-
position. So he kicked and cuffed the State
severely IN his Fisher speech. Now, when
any Massachusetts man begins to berate
Blaine to republican from another State,
the answer is oh, we know what's the mat
ter with you Massachusetts, people. That
speech Of Blaine's about the statue is what
ais you. OF course you are opposed to
Blaine. He gave your State tremendous
humping Thus. you see the moral infiu-
ence of Massachusetts,, of which you hear so
much, is pretty well coupteracted. Blaine
could not have got her vote at Chicago in any
case. All that he could do was to keep her
from damaging him in other States"

The readers Of the journal will recon-
nize in the interesting letter in our col
umns from Sweden the hand Of Hon. John
L. Stevens, Minister to that country. The
interest taken by the Swedish govern
ment in the education of its youth has
served to place its schools in the front
rank of educational institutions for the
common people. Our New England edu-
Gators may, perhaps, obtain new inspira-
ton by seeing what the Swedes are doing
in this direction.
