BLAINE AND HIS ENEMIES.

It is clear that the enemies of Mr
Blaine have not yet succeeded in
putting him at a disadvantage. The
spectacle of ,etiring Secretary OF
State hurting open letters at the
President accusing him of vacillation
and laundering in the foreign policy
of the Nation is sufficiently novel to
attract attention Mr. Blaine's po-
sition is not only plausible but cal
culated to be popular if the public
mind becomes interested in the sub
ject. It is fact that our foreign
policy has deteriorated to a farce.
We have had none since the day of
that harmless jelly-Fish, whose
notion of American dignity was con-
fined to the proper adjustment of let
tiers of transport, and who had no
conception of the growth and power
and force of the United States in the
diplomacy of the world.
The advent of Mr.. Blaine on the
scene in the high capacity of diplomat
was notice served that the spinal
column of the Government was
about to be stitfened, and it was
stiffened, with a vigor which recalled
the palmy days of Jay and Webster
and Buchanan. Some people sup
pose it is the proper policy of a
powerful nation to wink at all man.
ner of indignities to which ten-cent
governments propose to subject it
and its representatives, and that con-
servatism means nothing more or
less than an abject willingness to be
peaceful at any cost. By publishing
the text of his dispatch proposing a
peace congress of American powers,
and by his letter to President Arthur,
Mr.. Blaine has toppled down struc-
ture of Misrepresentation, the rearing
of which cost its authors several
weeks of laborious Justification. The
business of belttling and maligning
one of the ablest and most popular
statesmen of our time is at best q
poor one, but in becomes what insur-
ance men call datra-hazardous :"
when it is practiced upon q man Of
Mr.. Blaine's fighting capacity.

The SHOOTING ARRAY which occurred
in the Office of the Washington
National Repubiaca,, was in every re-

to believe from the evidence, however,
that Barton acted otherwise than in a

such be the fact, the surviving Soteldo

EUROPEAN POLITICS.

There is every indication that there
will be a stormy and exciting Parli-
amentary Session this year. The re-
assembling of the Cabinet and discus
sions amongst its chief members as to
the best method of treating COB
structlon " is sign of what we may
shortly expect. This will, probably,
be one of the earliest considerations
of the Government. It is said that
the Liberals are determined, come
what may, that the Session shall not
be barren one An early settle
of the Irish troubles is hoped for and
it is confidently stated that the Gov
eminent will very soon hberate

The joint note addressed by the
Governments of England and France
to the Khedlve, declaring that the
two Powers intend to make positive
stand against all interference in the
affairs of Egypt, and expressing the
hope that the Khedive will gain con
fidence and support by this assur-
ance, has caused no little excitement
in Turkey. The Sultan is said to be
positively indignant, as he has always
been particularly jealous of the infu-
ence given to the Khedive by the
European Powers The Sultan in
sists that the interference of England
and France takes place at time
when there was no warrant for it,
and that it has been done without
even the courtesy Of giving the Sultan

This is an imperial edict signed by
the Emperor, and countersigned by

right of the Emperor personally to

German ruler for absolute power
The Liberals are everywhere in
arms against the decree, which they
declare is simply immuring German
freedom, for which they have fought
so bravely for century, in a for
tress of feudalism. They maintain
that this action of the Emperor aid

upon the advance of Germany
which must, if it yields take a much
lower place than it was destined to
to do amongst Continental Powers.
Many, however, III Germany regard
it merely as the natural clinging Of
an aged monarch to the traditions Of
the past, and these say that the
Grown Prince, when he comes to the
throne, will entirely reverse this
policy.

AN HONOR TO Els RACE.

Peter Ray, one OF the Oldest and
best known colored residents of
Brooklyn, died at his home, 1872
South Second street, last Saturday
noon at the advanced age of 81 years.
He was born in New York city, but
has resided in the Eastern District
of Brooklyn for the past fourteen
years. For over seventy years he
has been in the employment of the
Lorrinard's serving Pierre Lorrillard's
grandfather in 1911 as an errand boy.
In 1926 he WAS made foreman at the
Wooster street works. When the
factory was removed to jersey City
he was made general superintendent,
which post he filed up to within
three weeks of his death. -Four gene
rations of the Lorillards have known
his active services. In 1919 Mr.. Ray
was one of the founders of st. Philip
Church in New York, of which he
has ever since been an influential
member. In the early days Of the
anti-slavery agitation, Mr.. Ray took
an important part, being one of
William Lloyd Garrisons warm sup
porters. The funeral took place on
Wednesday at 2 o'clock, the Rev. DR.
Crummel officiating, assisted by Rev.
Drs. Walden and Morgan. It was
largely attic nded. Conspicuous
among the gathering were the Loril-
lards.-Neao York Globe.
Commenting on the death of MIR.
Ray, the Brooklyn Euen,ng Times
saws The life of Peter Ray, whose
obituary we published yesterday, af-
fords an interesting and instructive
chapter on the intellectual capacity
Of the eolored race and the ability Of
colored men to hold their own il, the
race of life, if given chance. Mr..
Ray was born in the humblest cir
cumstances in New York city, and en-
tered life handicapped with the
weight of the bitter prejudice-far
more virulent then than now-that
excluded his race from every honor
able occupation and doomed them to
serve as hewers of wood and drawers
of water to their white neighbors.
He entered the employment of the
elder Lorillard seventy-one years ago
as errand boy, and by dint of sheer
merit worked his way upward until
he WAS placed in the position of Gen
eral Superintendent in the extensive
tobacco works at Jersey City a po-
sition he held up to the time of his
death. When the magnitude of the
interest confded to his care, and the
intense ardor of competition that be-
sets every step in the way of pro-
motion, are taken into consideration,
it can easily be understood that Mr..
Ray, like Edmund Burke, was COM
PEELED to produce his credentials at
every stage of his career, and that he
owed nothing to fortune but every
thing to his own merits Such life
affords the most convincing answer to
those who still cling to their preju-
dice against the colored race, and
who assume that the position the
Negroes occupy, as the result of gen
erations of degrading servitude, is
the natural and normal condition of
that race.

to consider the proposition Of cxpend-
ing the uncxpcnded balance Of the
organ fund in purchasing suitable
books for Sabbath School library.
After general interchange Of opin-
ions it was resolved to hold another
meeting next week, when additional
information may be had as to the
precise amount to be thus expended.
The Treasurer reports the expenses
and receipts balanced to date, and no

Madame Modjeska recently gave a
dinner in London to several Ameri-
cans. ''The soft and fruity wines of
Hungary, ''says the historian of the
occasion, "lent additional zest to the
delicate and tempting dinner, and af-
ter it was over, coffee and cigarettes
were served, in both of which-shall |
tell it?-Madame Modjeska joined the
rest of US. Moreover, she seemed to
like the mellow smoke from her dain-
ty little roll Of Turkish tobacco" The
actress was getting ready for an
American tour, and she took the OPP
portunity to say that she loved this
country and its people ardentiy; that
it was untrue that she had ever called
US barbarians or ignoramuses. The
people follow an actor or an actress
more closely than is the case in other
countries. They seize instantly upon
every word or gesture, every inHec-
ton, every expression, and they quick
ly respond to every appeal directed at
their emotions. 1t is this great respon-
siveness which enables an artist to
throw himself or herself into the part
oh hand with fervor that cannot
otherwise be achieved. 1t produces
magnetism"

Consolation.

"Why are you sad, Beryl?' This
question was asked by one of Belle
vue's young bloods, at the Gate City
Base Ball Clubs party, last evening.
The girl turned her head slightly as
these words were spoken, and as her
lissome figure, with its rounded curves
and beautiful flesh tints, stood sharp
~ outlined, clear and perfect as
cameo. in the moonbeams that were
falling in silver spray through the
branches of the linden trees, the sight
was indeed a pretty one. George w.
Simpson looked at her earnestly for
moment, and saw that tears were we'll
ing up in the dusky brown eyes, and
sobs that could not be restrained con-
vulsed the girlish form.
"Why should | not be sad?:" she
said. ''Tha sweet summer is dying
There are hollows in her fair checks;
a pathetic droop about the ripe red
lips, dark shadows beneath the lovely
eyes. And already across the hazy
hills autumn peers, berry strins on her
brown, slim fingers, purple vines trail
ing about her, scarlet buds and gold
en- rod for the coronal. and a broken
reed for her scepter. Already the
hollows are brimmed with amber haze
and the hilltops crowned
with blue smoke. The
sun looks languidly through dream
clouds; a yellow leaf falls here and
there, and some prudent birds fly
southwark ere yet the first frost makes
the fruit ruddy and ripens the hazel
nuts in the hedges, ere yet the sumac
catches some blood drops from the
heart wound Of fainting summer, and
the aster looks with blue and wistful
eyes from the woodland path"
at is indeed a time fraught with
suggestions that are mournful,n said
George; "but surely there is one CLEAN
of hope, one little ray Of golden sun
shine amid all the mists and clouds

ing fashion, he whispered a word in
her ear.
A smile chased away the despond-
ent look, and the tears that dimmed the
starry eyes were quickly dashed away.
Putting her arms around Georges
neck, Beryl murmured softly and Will
a look of perfect trust: "You are
right, sweetheart; l had forgotten the
grand ball in Haley, next Wednesday

JUDGE GOODWIN.
He Is Temporarily Laid Up in Bellevue,
With Neuralgia.

Ex-Judge C. G. Goodwin, editor-in-
chief Of the Salt Lake Tribune, arrived
in Bellevue by Boise stage, last We'd
nesday night, on his way home via
Blackfoot, after visiting mining pro-
perry in Eastern Oregon in which he
is the principal owner. AS he was
suffering greatly from neuralgia in the
nose and right side of the face, besides
being almost worn out by his stage
ride of many hundred miles over
rough mountain roads, he was com
PEELED to lay over for day or two, to
recuperate. Yesterday morning in
hammation set in in his right check,
and his friend induced him to place
himself under the care of physician,
who treated him SO successfully that
by seven O'Clock last evening the in
nammation had almost entirely sub
sided.
A TINES reporter, learning Of Judge
Goodwin's presence in Bellevue,
dropped down there last evening, and
found him sitting in bed, as pleasant
and smiling as in his happiest moods.
One of the first sentences he uttered
was joke, and his conversation was
as bright, sparkling and cheerful as
usual. He regretted his inability to
remain on Wood River long enough
to at least visit the principal mines,
as he felt convinced that this would
be great mining section; but he
hoped to return in the spring and be
able to spend couple Of months here
