THE victory Of james Guano Blaine
in his State of Maine has given him a
boost and he is now more than ever
talked of as a presidential candidate.
His influence is already beginning to
be felt and it is said that the activity of
thestraight-ouf republicans in Virginia
is due to his inspiration, he having, it
is alleged made an agreement with the
democrats Of the State to defeat the
Malone movement to spite the ad-
ministration and TO further his own
plans for the republican nomination or
an independent candidacy in 1884.

Peace and Good WIN.
Mr. Blaine in a recent address de-
livered at Portland said

iINeFed at Portland said
| Since Maine was a State-aye, identically
/ since Maine was State-the date serves
me precisely, coming in on top Of the great
| Missouri Compromise-that first wide and
| deep agitation of the slavery question
never, from that hour to this, in the sixty
two years, that have interviewed, has the
feeling between the North and South been
as cordial and fraternal as it is tonight.
The statement was received with
loud and prolonged applause, and gives
us renewed hope that the man who will
in the future undertake to align parties
with regard to the dead issues of the
past will find himself without backing
and without support. Times change
and We change with them. The things
of yesterday are not the things of to-
day. Turning our faces on what has
gone before, we are confronted by the
present question of the maintenance of
the just relations between labor and
capital, of the adjustment Of the tariff
SO as to advance the interests of all
classes, of the mending of our broken
fortunes, and the development of our
material resources. In these all classes
and every section have an equal interest
and if their views accord with ours We
may clasp hands with our brethren of
the North though we live under the
Southern cross.

no condition to respond, having exhausted
their funds in dancing attendance so long

There is only flicker Of lame in the gfate,
The IRE has burned 80 low;
There is only flicker Of love in my hearl,
II has been 50 long ago.
And the years roll in and the years roll On.
And what is life worth say,
Ifis dreary prove for lack Of q love
Thai has long since burned away.
And yet tonight in the shadowy light,
A tone in your voice heard,
That drsw my gaze as in ol1ea days.
When clung to your every word.
You seemed TO stand on the vanished land
That had slipped away with years;
A something stirred In your sinp1e word
That touched the depth Of tears
And when yau left with i heart bereft,
OF It's usual calm control,
| prayed for you as | used to do
When You held both heart aud soul
| thought you then first among men,
Twas all dream, yen see;
But the day hat brings more blessed things

Moral Responsibility of the Press.

DR.. Galloway ia the n. 0. Christian Advocate. ]
Judge Tourgee, editor of Our Conti-
nent, and author of "FooPs Errand," :"
ETC., delivered an address at the recent
meeting of the New York Press Asso-
citation, in which he dwelt with elo-
quence and effect ON the above subject.
1t surely needs ventilation and empha
sis. Editors Of our secular and politi-
cal papers WELD mighty influence in
educating the social and moral senti-
ment ofthe country. If they are men
Of loose morals, and lacking in sturdy
virtues, their journals will enfold a
poison, and carry it abroad as on the
wings of death angel. We affect not
a censorship Of the secular press, but
utter truism to which the most un-
thinking will subscribe.
An editor should have an ambition
above money. To conduct a journal
for mere pecuniary success is unworthy
of his high profession, and blighting
to good morals. This will suggest a
pandering to the elements and classes
that bring patronage without regard to
the public welfare. There is q morbid
hunger in communities for exciting and
criminal news. Every case of arson,
rape, larceny, murder, wife-beating,
seduction, desertion or tale of horror and
blood is therefore eagerly sought after
and portrayed in humorous phrase and
emblazoned with flaming headlines.
This only feeds that vicious sentiment,
and becomes very curse to purity and
young ambition. An editor Of metro
politan daily once made this remark ::
Those who value immediate pecuniarv
success above any other consideration
have found the criminal news real
gold mine, and explore and exploit
it accordingly" We have read accounts
Of horrible atrocities written up" with
a CHASTITY facetiousness and ribald joe
ularity that almost shamed blush of
deeency from the cheek. The reporter
grew merry over the thought of having
an interesting item, and outraged all
reverence and purity to make it attrac-
tive and readable. The merry-making
over Guiteau's death was worthy only
of ghouls and satyrs. We are glad,
however, to state that some secular
papers never offend against a pure mo-
rality. They are evangels of truth and
patriotism welcomed visitors to our
home.
An editor should bs above piques
and personalities. His grievances, real
or imaginary, ought not to affiict COM
mnnity. His iealousies and spites need
not be public property. "A porcupine
can never make anideal journalist. He
