why BLAINE TOLD THE TRUTH.
A New Version of the Cabinet Dis.
pute Around GarfieId's Sick Bed,

a New Version of the Cabinet Dis
pute Around GarfieId's Sick Bed.
Washington Correspondence New York Sun.
One of your correspondents here fell
into very serious error the other day
when he said that blaine was for the
inability theory and so was Mac
Veagh." The statement is true as to
Blaine, but the reverse is true as to
MacVeagh. This, if not the real, was
the ostensible ground of battle between
Mac Veagh and Blaine all through the
weary weeks of Garfield's suffering.
Blaine told the square truth from day
to day about the presidents condition,
because he wanted the country and the
world to understand it exactly. That
knowledge would be the only justifica
tion of the important step which he
supposed the cabinet would be forced
to take, and which he himself was
prepared to take at once.
Blaine proceeded on the obvious fact
that the presidents disability was, at
least for the time, total; that there was
no president; that the government was,
in truth, being carried on by COM
mittee of the late presidents friends
without any legal authority, and that
there might come day of very severe
reckoning for this usurpation. He
was from first to last in favor of noti-
flying the vice-president of this state
of things, and inviting him to assume
the functions of Office which had con-
stitutionally devOlved upon him. But
Mr.. MacVeagh flared up fiercely at the
suggestion. Blaine held that the vice
president would still be only the vice
president discharging the duties of the
president, and only until the latter
should recover from his disability; and
that his temporary tenure might I've
fixed by the letter or proclamation of
the president calling him to the post.
MacVeagh held that the vice president
once entered into the Office was presi-
dent for the remainder of the term.
and Gen. Garfield would from that
moment become and remain a private
citizen.
But the knock. down argument
against the Blaine scheme was, that to
approach Gen. Garfield with a request
for his feeble and unattainable sigma
ture to such document as was deemed
necessary would kill him stone dead in
fifteen minutes. 1t was like asking
the king, in whom all but the fires of
ambition and the love of vast power was
slowly dying, to permit his friends to
shatter his crown before his eyes, and
then to salute his dreaded successor
Upon this question there were from the
fall of Garfield to the accession of Ar
thur bitter and constant conflicts in the
secret consultations of the cabinet, and
had Gen. Garfield recovered that body
could not have held together two
weeks. 1t held, as it was, only be-
cause there was nobody to accept a
resignation or to appoint successor.
This is why Mr.. Blaine scrupulously
told the whole truth in his dispatches
to Lowell, and it is why certain class
of the late presidents friends denounce
Mr.. Blaine, without any public reason
given, as time-server, a trimmer, and
traitor. He, Blaine, never once be.

What Followed
Examiner and Chronicle.

Wordsworth says: "The child is
father of the man." and more than one
prison scene and prison memory has IL
lustrated this inevitable link of charac-
ter between ones earlier and later
years. A young man arrested for
swindling his employer out of twenty
thousand dollars sat alone in crimi-
nails cell, out of which daylight had
faded. Covering on his hard bed he
pictured to himself the world outside,
full of warmth and light and comfort.
The question came to him sharply
"How came you here? Was it real
ly for the stealing Of that last great
sum?"
Yes or no.
Looking back twenty years he saw
himself shool boy, ten years old. He
remembered one lovely June day-with
the roses in full blom over the porch,
and the dress his mother wore while at
her work, and the laborers in the
wheat-fields.
Freshest of all he remembered his
Uncle John--such queer, kind, for
getful old mani That very morning
his uncle had sent him away to pay a
bill at the country store, and there
were seventy-two cents left and uncle
John did not ask him for it.
When they met that noon, this boy,
now in prison, stood there under the
beautiful blue sky, and great temp
tatiOn came. He said to himself, "ShaTl
l give it back, or shall 1 wait Until he
asks for it? If he never asks, that is
his lookout. If he does, why, can
get it again together"
BE never gave back the money.
A theft of twenty thousand dollars
brought this young man to the prison
door, but when boy he turned that
way years before, when he sold his
honesty for seventy-two cents.
That night Re sat disgraced, and an
open criminal, in his cell. Uncle John
was long ago dead. The old home was
desolate, his mother broken-hearted.
The prisoner knew that what brought
him there was not the mans deed
alone, but the boys.
Had TIE ten-year-old 10Y been true
to his honor, life now would have been
all different. One little cheating was
the first of many, until his character
was eaten oHt, could bear no test, and
he wrecked his manliness and his life

Rather Awkward.

"Many a shalt at random sent" hits
something or other which the archer
little meant to touch. We have heard
an anecdote illustrative Of this truth,
which has probably not appeared in
print before, and which has been told
us as a genuine history. 1t happened
in large city-never mind what city.
There were two pretty sisters who
married one an eminent lawyer the
other a distinguished literary man.
Literary man dies and leaves younger
sister widow. Some years roll away,
and the widow lays aside her weeds.
Now, then, it happens that a certain
author and critic, on a broiling day in
summer, to call on the eminent lawyer,
husband of the elder sister. He finds
the lawyer pleading and sweltering in
a crowded court, sees that the lawyer
is suffering dreadfully from the heat,
pities him. rejoices that he himself is
not lawyer. and goes for cool saun-
ter under the sheltering trees of a
fashionable park and garden. Among
the iceeating, tanning crowd there, he
meets the younger of the two sisters,
and for a moment thinks he is talking
to the elder.
"Oh, Mr.. -" said the lady, show
dreadfully hot it is here"
"Yes madam" replies our luckless
critic, cit is hot here, but 1 can assure
you the heat of this place isn't a cir
cumstance when compared with the
heat Of the place where your poor dear
husband is suffering to-day"
A horror-stricken expression comes
over the face of the lady; she rises
from her chair and flounces indignant.

Avsrpinian of the Old School.

The death, near Malvern Bill, Va,
of Nathan Enroughty is likely to revive
the question, often discussed, but never
satisfactorily answered, why the name
of a numerous family should have
been, for at least century, universally
spelled Enroughty and universally pro-
nounced Darby. The members Of the
family themselves follow this strange
perversion, always writing their name
one way and pronouncing it the other
but can give no explanation of its
origin. Nathan Enroughty, who has
just died at a great age-from 80 to
100 years-was soldier in the war OF
1872. and a pensioner of the govern
ment. He was famous, even beyond
middle life, for his strength, activity,
and endurance, and it it is said that no
prudent man ever ventured to try con-
clusions with him when natures wea-
pons were the only ones to be employed.
For eleven years, however, blindnes,
had kept him in hateful inactivity.

Says the Topeka Commonwealth:
The old idea that railroads running
north and south, in this country, do not.
as rule, pay, is fast becoming obso-
lete. New Orleans and the lower Mis-
sissippi river are fast assuming an i'm
portance in connection with railway
lines that will at no distant day be-
come the true outlet to the west. Jay
Gould sees it and is acting upon this
theory. The fact that a railroad is
being built from Fort Worth, Texas,
to Denver, is another evidence of this
soon to be established fact, while our
own Memphis road should convince
the people of Kansas that a railroad
connection with the lower Mississippi
valley is the great desideratum.

$500 as the extra number, making

cur VOTING POPULATION.


The latest bulletin issued from
the census Office shows the popula'
ton of each county in the United
States, classified as white and
colored, and also the number OF
males CT voting age in each, in 1880
The figures are interesting. and
especially those of Utah in connec-
hon with the coming election for
delegate to Congress. From these
may be very nearly arrived at the
number of votes that should be cast
at the election. The male popula-
ton of voting age in the territory
on the day the enumeration was
made was 92,77S, divided as
follows: Native, 1875; foreign,
1928; colored, 695. IAs the "col-
ored" includes Chinese and Indians
as well as negroes, peshaps not ever
One-fouIth Of them should be
counted as voters. The number OF
these has increased svery little dur
ing the two years since the census
was taken. It is impossible to ar
rive at the correct lper centage of
the foreign population that is
naturalized AMI entitled TO vote.
We can only guess at figures, but
there is fair data to assist in guess
ing. As is well known the great
desire among foreigners coming to
Utah is to become citizens. When
the courts are open applicants for
citizenship present themselves
almost daily, and at GER
tain seasons Of the year
Ssnaturalizations" form prominent
feature of the court business. Gen
orally speaking, very little time is
lost, especially by the very large
majority of immigrants that are
brought here by the Mormon
Church. When the FIVE years resi-
dence has expired, most of them
zeke out full citizenship papers. A
fair estimate of the foreign
born male voters in the tern.
tory would place the number
Mt about $4,000. During the
two years and over that has elapsed
since the census was taken many
hundreds have been naturalized
and many others have come Of age
and become citizens through the
naturalization of their fathers. No
enc will say that the estimate OF
1900 foreign born male voters is
large for this territory. The native
or American born population OF
Utah has increased very little from
Immigration within the two years.
Merry as many American voters
have gone as have come, but the
native born voting strength has
nevertheless increased consider
ably during the time since the
enumeration. Any one at all &C
uuainted with the community can
designate among those he knows
numbers OF young gentlemen who,
within two years, have crossed the
line legally dividing youth from
manhood. 1t is not out of the way
to say the native-born voters num-
Der to-day 10000, an increase OF
1900 in two and q quarter years.
These figures, if they are correct,
give a male voting population of
about 2S,S5O. If there are this num-
Der of males ever q years OF age,
there are certainly 1860 females
oyer that age, who can either vote
in their own right as natiye-bOrn
citizens, or as the wives.
widows OF daughters Of
citizens. The voting population
Of Utah, then, would be 5000. The
estimate, we are confident, is within
rather than over the facts, for
larger percentage Of the foreign
born population has been natural
lied than is allowed in. the figures
above.
