The Massachusetts, Situation.

After much inquiry. and after making
all possible allowance for the independ-
ent or free trade movement, we have
come to the conclusion that Massachu-
setts will give its electoral vote to the
Republican candidates. In Boston and
elsewhere a few thousand voters who
claim or have claimed to be Republicans,
and probably did vote for Gen. Garfield,
will either vote the Democratic ticket OF
vote in the air. On the other hand. we
have the most positive assurance of re
liable and we'll informed Republicans
that the Blaine ticket will gain heavily
from the Republicans and others who
voted for General Butler in 1888. These
gains will be made in Lynn, Lowell, and
other manufacturing towns, where the
workingmen regard Mr.. Blaine with
something of the favor which is mani
Tested for him in the West. We are also
assured that many Republicans in this
vicinity who declared a week ago that
they would not vote the Republican
ticket have either changed their minds
or have so far modified their opinion as
to decide to wait for season. The list
of Republican names collected by the
Independent managers now appears to
be altogether inadequate to the efforts
put forth. Invitations to unite in the
movement were sent out in large num-
bers to voters in every part of the state,
and eager personal canvasses were made
in several localities. The result is that
not over thousand names of men vino
have voted the Republican ticket regu-
larly have been collected, and the greater
part of these are the names of free tra-
ders, who ought to go with any party
that maintains that theory. In conclu-
sion, We repeat that Massachusetts sho'd
be placed in the column of Republican
states.-Boston Journal.

THE Democrats are greatly disturbed
by the prospect of losing three or four
Southern States. Blaine clubs are being
formed in the two Virginias, and al ac
tive campaign will be carried on in both.
Senator Malone pledges Virginia to the
Republican candidates and Mr.. Blaine
has hosts of Democratic friends in West
Virginia, who will unite with Republi-
cans to carry that State in his favor
North Carolina and Florida will both
receive especial attention this year, the
belief being that they can be carried for
Mr.. Blaine They gravitate toward Re
publicanism, and if properly looked after
may be wrested from the Bourbons.
There are one or two other Southern
States which ought to receive the con
sideration of the Republican national
and congressional committees. Louisi-
ana is one. 1t is tariff State, and the
fact that the government is furnishing
aid to the Worlds Exposition to be held
at New Orleans, commencing in Decem-
ber next, will tend to secure fair cleo
tion and an honest count. With care
and active work Louisiana may be car
ried for Blaine. In Tennessee there is a
split among the Democrats on the tariff.
The State offers good ground for Repub-
lcan missionary work, and ought to be
wrested from the Bourbon free traders.
There is growing light in the South. and
the day of redemption begins to open
out in States which have long sat in
Democratic darkness.--Cleveland Leader.

LAST SAD RITES.
Funeral of Bishop Simpson.

The obsequies of Bishop Simpson took
place al Philadelphia, Tuesday of last
week, with ceremonies appropriate to
the high rank and great services of the
deceased. The pail bearers were Gov.

Evans, of Colorado, ex-Secretary of the
Interior Harlan, Alexander Bradley, of
Pittsburgh, G. B. Cornell, of New York,

Bishop Ninde. Prayers were offered by
Rev.Drs Kelly and Trumbull and Bishop
Andrews. The sermon was preached by
Bishop Foster, who was followed by
Bishops Fowler and Bowman, in brief
addresses eulogistic of the dead. Rev.
II. G.. frumbull, d. D.. read hymn, and
concluding prayer was offered by Rev.
W. o. Kelly. Bishop Nicholson, of the
Reformed church, pronounced the bene-
diction. A large canopy was placed over

to give all an opportunity to look upon
the mortal remains of the dead Bishop.
The body was not taken from the church
until Wednesday. when it was inferred
in South Laurel Hill Cemetery.
The casket in which the body lies is

IPish-Americans and Mr.. Blaine.

1t is not because of Mr.. Blaine's Irish
descent or any religious incentive that
Irlsh-Americans will give him hearty
support this year. His strength among
Irish voters is due to bis influence in
protecting naturalized citizens against
the wrongful acts of Great Britain while
serving in Congress, and again while
filling the Office of Secretary of State
under President Garfield. In 1867 Mr.
Blaine was the Republican leader in the
House Of Representatives, and it was in
this year that Augustus Costello and
other Irish Americans, including Gen.
d. F. Burke, we're arrested in Ireland
and tried for utterances made in the
United States. Costello was tried and
convicted on account of speech made
in New York in 1865, he being natu-
rallied citizen at the time. This speech
was construed as reasonable, and the
British authorities insisted that the law
then in force gave them the right to
punish, upon British soil, all British
born subjects for reasonable utterances
or acts on foreign soil. The fact that
Costello was an American citizen was
thrust aside and he was sentenced to
sixteen years penal servitude. After
sentence he was removed to Millbank
prison, and it was then that Mr.. Blaine
started an agitation in Congress which
led to the liberation of Costello and such
of his colleagues as has been fully natu-
rallied in this country. This action Of
Mr.. Blaine led to the insertion of a clause
in the treaty of 1870, whereby Great
Britain bound herself to surrender all
claims of allegiance from crown subjects
who had become American citizens.
Irish Americans have not forgotten
this episode in the history of Mr.. Blaine
nor are they disposed to overlook his
conduct in the cases of Michael Boyton,
Henry O'Mahoney, and others. while
Secretary of State. Boyton and OMa-
honey were both American citizens, the
latter having served in the Union army
during the war These arrests were
about the time that the Parnell meve-
ment had reached its victorious culmi-
nation, and the doors of British prisons
were being closed upon scores of men
suspected of completely in the attempt
TO overthrow British rule in Ireland.
When the cases above referred to were
brought to the attention of Mr.. Blaine
his influence was brought TO bear in their
behalf, and Minister Lowell received in
structions to give all needed protection
to naturalized citizens while visiting in
Ireland, or residing on British soil: 1t
is these things which have endeared Mr..
Blaine to the Irish heart. Irish Amer
cans have seen him tried, and have
faith to believe that under his admins
tration citizens of this country would be
as safe abroad as at home. 1t Is the past
conduct of Mr.. Blaine, then, and the be-
lief that his foreign policy will be in
keeping with the traditions of the coun-
try that induce thousands OF Irish Amer
leans to avow their intention to support
him at the ballot box at the November
election.

Wives of the Candidates.

Mrs. Blaine. according to a Washing
ton correspondent, looks most imposing
when she is not excited She is large
woman who sits bolt upright in her cor
ner of the carriage. Her face is strong
one. Her features are large, and are so
disposed as to convey sense of power.
They always wear the same proud ex-
preston. Like many other ladies she
is said to have been always averse to
having her photograph taken. and the
illustrated newspapers find it impossible
to give her picture to the public. Mrs.
Blaine has as many enemies in Wash
ington as Mr.. Blaine has friends.
Mrs. Logan, says correspondent, is a
handsome woman, with gray hair and
bright eyes, who calls her husband "dar-
ling" in public, and works day and night
to help him upward. Mr.. and Mrs. Lo.
gan live in the second story of a board.
ing house on Twelfth street, and il
speaks volumes for them that their fell
low boarders are all for Logan. They
are censured for not taking a handsome
house and entertaining lavishly; but
they have learned that they who take
the handsome house shall perish by the
handsome house. Besides, they don't
need to. Mrs. Logan makes enough
friends without it.

Blaine and Prohibition.

All over the country, and especially in
those States in which there is a large
German vote, the Democratic press are
laboring to create the impression that
Blaine is not only a Prohibitionist, but
is really responsible for the Maine liquor
law This will be news to most people,
since his public record has been an open
book for many years, and among all the
bad things attributed to him no one has
heretofore accused him of being "fa-
natical ProhibitiOnist" 1t so happens,
too. that some of the Democratic editors
who ara holding Blaine up as the very
embodiment Of he prohibition policy in
respect to the use of liquors, do not scru-
pie to denounce him as wine bibberl
They have a double purpose in view
to poison the Germans against him. and
at the same time deprive him of the
temperance vote.
1t is simply an utter perversion of the
truth to say that Blaine is responsible
for the Maine liquor law. That law was
passed in 1851, two years before Blaine
settled in the State, and it was several
years later that be entered political life
as member of the Maine Legislature.
There is another thing to be remembered
in this connection. The Republican
party had net been organized at that
date, and the Maine law was passed by
Democratic Legislature and signed by a
Democratic Governor.
Prohibition has become the settled
policy of the State, and both parties ac-
quiesce in it because it suits the wishes
and sentiments of the majority OF the
people. If it had been a Republican
measure. why was it not repealed by the
Democrats when they had control of the
legislative and executive branches of the
Government, as they have had within
recent years? The fact is, Blaine is no
more responsible for prohibition in his
State than for the same policy in other
States, and even if he were it would have
nothing to do with his fitness or qualifi-
cations for the Presidency. Prohibition
is not National question as yet. but
one of the ways by which it may be
made such is to denOunce as a Prohibi-
zionist every candidate who is not an
open and avowed advocate of the liquor
traffic.-Pitts. Com. Gazette.

A RObber in the House.

The clock struck three; two of the
children awoke with "sauawls," ane Mrs.
Mickson, turning over with a 1OuHce,
called to her husband, who was lying in
an adjoining room:
'Peteri'
Well

Yes, I'm here.

Where did you. get it?'
Il haven't got it, you greehhorn. I

that somebody has slipped into this
house, and you needn't say there hasn't,
and she arose and looked under the bed.

husband.

DO you think robber would come
around a mans house and smoke cigarsy
III makes no difference; smell cigar

L smell cigar smoke too said the bus
band. Ihave been smelling it for some
time
Get up and help me look for it,
'What. the smoker
No, the man
Come on, and / think we can find
him.
Mrs. Mickson entered her husbands
room and found that gentleman lying
on the bed, smoking cigar.
L don't believe you have good sense!
Indignantly exclaimed the wife. Why
didn't you tell me that you were lying
on the bed, smoking like fool
Because l am not smoking like
fool
On, you think you are smart and the
lady went back and tumbled into bed

Hostility to National Interests.

Ii there are any citizens of New York
or New England who fancy that their
distinguished names will make an un-
patriotic policy popular, we advise a
study of history. When British injus-
tice moved Congress to declare war in
1912, it is not the most honorable fact in
the history of Massachusetts, that the
Governor of that State refused to obey
the requisition of the United States by
calling out militia. One does not now
remember with enthusiasm the fact that
public meetings of citizens in New York
and Boston at that time declared the
war "waged without just cause and an
affront to the Divine Being" and affirmed
that they "had no confidence in the ex-
listing Government Of the United States"
There is not school boy now who does
not rejoice that the honor OF the young
nation was vindicated by the war of
1912, and We forget if we can the names
and the behavior of those who preferred
cowardly submission to British in
suits.

admission of Louisiana as State, and

dared not look in each others faces, so
| great was their own horror
HE who had spoken tore from his
ragged jacket four strips of cloth, and
one of them being short, he who drew
that one was to be the victim; or. if the
short one was left, he who held it was to
be the one.
THAT gaunt hand was outstretched
upon its fearful errand; the two brothers
were to draw last, one after the other,
and no one was to look at his strip until
| all had been drawn, and then it was to
be done simultaneously. The signal was
70 be the dropping of pebble.
"Ali had drawn.
"In breathless silence they awaited the
signal.
"A tiny sound broke the stillnessl the
pebble had fallen, each hand was unclos-
ed, the youngest of the two brothers had
drawn the short strip of cloth.
with a wild yell the two men grasp
ed their knives and sprang toward their
victim.
Not so the eldest brother; with a
fearful yell he planted himself before the
younger one to protect him, weak though
he was.
What was his feeble strength against
the other two? They were weak, also, it
is true, but two to one were the odds.
He was all alone, for his brother,
when he saw he had drawn the fatal
strip, had f. = lack insensible, and
therefore 4 ailke unconscious of his
own fearful position and his brothers
danger.
"FOr one instant those three men
glared at each other. before commencing
their deadly strife; that moment was
their salvation.
"a faint shout was heard, and in the
distance rapidly approaching was seen a
large body of men well mounted, bearing
directly toward them.
Help had come at last.
"In their despair and rage, they had
not noticed the approach of any one until
they were close upon them.
''In an instant all enmity died cut. and |
throwing their weapons aside, they |
clasped that heroic brother to their |
hearts and wept tears of joy al their de-
iyerance and the timely prevention of |
the fearful crime they had contemplated !
"The brother who had sweOned return |
ed to consciousness just as the other par
ty came up.
Mutual explanations were exchanged |
as soon as those poor starved wretches had |
been bountifully fed
"All trouble was now over, and as soon |
as they had recovered suffirien: strength |
to proceed the two parties journeyed on
together, and reached the mines in
safety"
Joe ceased speaking, and silently wiped
away a tear from his eye; Harry was the
first to break the silence.
"That younger brother ought to think
a sight of the other one"
HE does" said Joe, with trembling
voice; "he would die for him, l know. for
1 am the one who drew the shortest strip
of cloth." IN. Y. Daily News.

A Glove.

All, yesterday l found a glove,
Grown shabby, full of tiny lips,
But dear to me because my love,
Once through it thrust her fnger-tips
A glove one would not care to see
Upon his arm in public street;
Yet here | own there is for me
No relic i'll the world more sweet.
A faint, far scent of lavender
Steals from it, as the clover Smelt
When through the fields l walked with
her
And plucked the blossoms for her belt
Faith! but l loved the little hand
That used to wear this time-stained
thingl
Its slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart fiuttering.
Or if it touched my finger, so,
Or smoothed my hair-why shoDld /
speak
Of those old days? 1t makes, you know,
The tears brim over on my check.
Poor stained, worn-out, long-wrlsted
glovel
think it almost understands
That reverently and with love
hold II in my trembling hands.
And that it is so-dear to me,
With its old fragrance, tar and faint,
Because my mother wore it, She
On earth my love, in Heaven my saint.

The Battle.

Life is often spoken of as a battle.
From birth to death it is one prolonged
struggle for existence. We are in the
main conscious of this most fully when
disease attacks US and suffering ensues.
Most of the ills of life are due tn our
thoughtlessness or recklessHSs. We do
not sufficiently appreciate the strength
of the enemy. We somehow think that
we shall escape the lenalties of wrong
doing. So, too. of the business ventures
we undertake. We cannot ignore the
difficulties, but we are prone to think
them chained, like the lions in the way
of Bunyan's pilgrim. 1t is not right
that we should ufrr-rate possible dill
cuities in the way of success. To do
this would perhaps paralyze all effort
Nor should we unuer-rate them. TO do
this is TO infure defeat. sooner or later.
Rather measure the full strength of the
enemy. Measure, too, your strength OF
the Lord. 20 bravsly forward, and win
every time in the battle of life.-GoOd
Work
