Too MUcH PnEsT.-The practice OF placing
cIergymen at the head of educational institn-
tions, in charge Of literary work, and in every
position pertaining TO learning, will eventually
make history show that nobody ever lived, ex-
cept preachers, worthy 10 be remembered. Ap-
pleton's ImcTioaH Encyclopaedia is largely made
up Of contributions from ciergymen. We have
many time referred to its pages in vain for in
formation concerning distinguished Generals,
statesmen, and other persons whose prominence
entitled them to place there. Such omissions
may be counted by the score. But in going
through, one feature stands prominently forth.
Almost every one-horse preacher who ever travel
led outside his native town, and many who new
er did, are given prominence in the work, with
the dates of their birth, where they preached,
and when and by whom pamphlet edition OF
their sermons was printed. The bulk of the
work is greatly increased by this stuff, while
men who deserve mention are left out. Another
revised edition is needed.

ABap MAS-Pefhaps the worst fnsn in this
country is James G. Blaine. AT least, good
many newspapers appear to think so-notabiy
those that wanted Gran. for third term, and
sympathized with Conkliug in his fight against
Garfield, and those that are too pure to look IA
yoraily upon any man who has enough get up to
becoane A popular leader. Blaine can do nothing
whatever but these papers see in it a move for
the Presidency in 1884; and if he does nothing,
that also is n Presidential scheme. After Gar
fields death, somebody obtained copy OF B!aines
letter to Garfield, accepting the Office of seere-
tar, Of State, and published 1t. This was move
Of Blaine to step in the heir to Garhelds polt-
ical estate. Blaine, as his position required him
TO do. was active in making the Yorktown eele-
bration pleasant affair for the foreign guests,
and did his part well, that French and Ger
mans met upon the best terms, and even England
was honored. This wholesale move for
the support of the foreign vote. He sent spc-
cial invitation to the relatives of the Irish patri-
ots Of the Revolution TO attend, which was bid
for the Irish vote. He sent his son along with
the steuben party, to make their journey to the
West pleasant which WAS a shrewd trick to cap
ture the Germans. lie has sent instructions to
American Ministers in Europe, to notify foreign
Governments that the United States is determ-
ned to maintain her rights relative to the pro-
posed Panama canal, which is a bold move for
the Presidency. lie sent dispatch to the late
River Convention at ST. Louis, expressing regret
that he could not attend, and approving the OBJ
ject of the gathering, which WIS grab for the
support of the whole West and Southwest. Now
lac coutemplates a winter trip through the South,
and it is telegraphed all over the country that
the journey is for the purpose of fixing up the
South to support him in ISL. If Blaine should
die, these same people would insist that he was
only ''possuming," for the purpose of attracting
universal sympathy, and securing support for
the Presidency.

TWe have not yet received the returns from
Doniphan, but there is n report to the effect that
Ego has about $50 majority there. This will be
the last years trick played over again. 1t can
hardly be true. Those who were at the County
Convention, will remember that n Doniphan del
egate got up and implored the Convention only
to nominate the candidate they favored for Coun-
ty Clerk, and the Republicans of Wayne would
stick to the ticket. He was nominated. After
begging Republican Convention, with tears in
their eyes, to conciliate them, to bribe them to
support the Republican ticket, and getting the
bribe they asked for, they certainly would not
sell out their party in that style!

FThe two heavy editorials in last weeks

Mr. Shulsky. The first was written by Brother
"Sacket,r and the other was from the pen OF
friend "Ba." They were an Improvement upon
the usual truck served up by the Central State
and much more commendable than slandering
school girls, a column of reiteration about the
odd old Dutchman." But, if our surmise is
correct, the writer on the bond question should
not have been so sarcastic over the failure to eff

Cs- Gov. st. John took the stump in Riley
County, in favor of bolting ticket, against the
regular Republican ticket. 1t shows just how
much he cares for the Republican party, after
having secured his own Office as Republican
nominee. Republicans will remember this con-
duet, and form their own notions of what party
allegiance requires of them, if st. John should
be a candidate again.

but this condition will suddenly after the first week,
give place to open and genial weather again nearly
everywhere, with disappearance OF frosts even in
northern New York and Canada for a marked period.

however it will likely be found that the dates Of the

out the party but he calls attention to the fact,
that as long as he was at the head of the Demo-

one or more County offices; but that since he is
of, they have not q single Office, and not even
ticket or an organization.
