AaaAasINa oF A WoMAN,s NAME.

The human vultures who have fattened on
the distorted and maliciously false stories
woven out of Blaine's early history ought to
be sick of the whole nasty business and give
over their nauseating feast. In the name of
honor and decency, let the miscreants who
have dared to assassinate the name of wife
and mother on such Insignificant basis now
desist. Or will they hyena-like, go on, un-
mindful of the indignation they are awaken
ing in the hearts of honest and decent meng
No man of ordinary intelligence, Republican
or Democrat, but knows that the Kentucky
marriage Of James G.. Blaine and Harriet
Stanwood was perfectly binding upon them,
not only as a moral obligation in the sight Of
God, but legally as WELL affirmed and re-
affirmed by the Kentucky Supreme Court.
Had no second marriage been had, Mr.. Blaine
could not have escaped responsibility before
the law, had he desired to do So Yet, to put
it beyond all question, James G. Blaine, for
the second time, formally and solemnly took
lasting obligations to honor and cherish the
woman he loved. From that day, thirty -four
years ago. to this he has lived in the 6ercest
light of high official life, yet never one word
has been uttered against his conduct
as an honorable and faithful husband.
His home has ever been remarkable for its
happiness, and mutual love and respect This
long and honorable career, supplementing, as
it does, the pains he took to make sure that
all was done right, in sight of God and man
alike, when he married. lifts him immeasura-
bly, above the sneaking ours that have dared
invade his household and defame the
name of her who, for over third Of cen
fury, has been faithful as wife and mother.
To follow her further is scoundrelism with
out parallel in modern history.

The Earl Of Carnarvon, at large meeting
held in Yorkshire. ENGLAND said.

The Earl Of Carnarvon, at large meeting
held in Yorkshire, England, said:
II hear on all sides sad stories of great es-
adjustments closed, of hands discharged, of
chimneys that were once smoking now dull
of whole branches of industry that are ceasing
to act in the country, of trade and capital
actually leaving the country and going abroad.

England enjoys" the blessings of free trade
The Democratic party favors free trade. The
Sentinel says the Democratic party will carry
Indiana on the principle of free trade. Grover
Cleveland favors free trade. Every English
newspaper and every Englishman in the old
country desire to see Grover Cleveland elected
and the Democratic party installed in power.
Whyf Let American workingmen read what
Earl Carnaryon says, and then they will be able
to answer for themselves. The secret of Eng
lands interest in the success of Grover Cleve-
land is as plain as the nose on mans face.

simple minded persons in whose hands it is
intended to be placed. The absurdity and
falsity of the figures is sufficiently evidenced
by the fact that no Democratic newspaper has
published the charges, being well aware that
to give them publicity would only be to prove
the story complete fabrication. If the nm
derhand circulation of this lying document
were not proof positive of its character, the
actual figures as shown by government reports
should be satisfactory. Under Jackson's adj
ministration the defalcatons amounted to
$7.52 for every 81, 900 handled; under Van Blu
rem it was $l1.71; udder Folks administration
it was $4.08; under Pierce 1886; under Blu
chanan's it was 1881; under Lincoln it was
reduced to 76 cents; under Johnson's, to 81
cents; under Grants, to "a cents; and under
Hayes to two-ffths of mill for every 81, 900
handled. It is very evident that the mind
which suggested the buying Of mules and
evolved the Morey letter is still doing bust
ness at the old stand, and in the same reckless

IT is telegraphed to the Cleveland organs as
matter'of considerable Importance that APP
pointment-clerk Butler, Of the Treasury Depart
ment, under Secretary Folger has announced
that he will vote for the Democratic candi-
date. just who or what clerk Butler was on
his native heath is not known at this distance,
as his fame has apparently not heretofore ex-
tended beyond the walls Of the Treasury; but
that he is a sensitive plant at the present time
cannot be denied He win vote for Cleveland
because Mr.. Blaine once wrote letter which
he, clerk Butler, believes was calculated to
injure Folger in the New York gubernatorial
race. Mr.. Folger, clerk Butler is forced to
admit, would himself have voted for Blaine
had he lived; but he, Butler, is made Of
sterner stuff, and will never no never con-
done the offense. Will somebody please pla-
cate clerk Butler before he does the country
an injury?

cH1LpREN,s DAY AT THE FAIR.

It would be interesting to know what in
fuence was brought to bear to change chill
dren's days at the State, fair from Thursday
and Friday to Tuesday and Friday, as has
been done. Tuesday is VIGOROUSLY mo day
at all" at the fair. If it is intended to let
the school children profit by visit to the
fair, or to go there, like old folks for ''the
fun there is in it. they should be allowed to
not Tuesday. There are other objections to
Tuesday, for by appointing that day double
break is made without offering corresponding
compensation. Let Thursday and Friday be
continued as holidays, for by so doing no
more time is lost to the schools and the yaca-
ton may be better enjoyed by both teachers
and pupils. It is on Thursday and Friday
that parents will visit the fair, and they can
on those days accompany and take care of
their children. The one-day SEES
sion Thursday Wednesday and
Friday is of no practical benefit, while a
vacation from Wednesday until Monday is but
a prolongation of the regular weekly hiatus
from Friday till Monday Give pupils and
teachers Thursday and Friday, and you give
them decent opportunity to enjoy the fair
like other people; they would have a respite,
and would come up on the following Monday
refreshed and invigorated. In event Tues
day is made the holiday, Thursday will be
practically spoiled by the absence of hundreds
of pupils who will visit the fair on that day,
for there are hundreds Of people who will visit
the fair on Thursday who would not think of
going on Tuesday, and they will want their
children to be with them, so they can take
care of them. The change to Tuesday is a
mistake, in whatever light it be viewed. and
should be at once remedied.

The latest victim Of the school system is
the daughter of Philip Lowenthal, of New

education, and by hard study she had sue
ceeded in mastering several languages, besides
becoming proficient in music and other
branches Of polite learning On one point,
however, she could not come up to the stand
ards of the school, and in the spring examina-
ton she fell z per cent. below the requisite
figure. On Monday of last week she set out
from home to be re-examined She was very
much down-hearted, and told friend that
she did not dare to fail on her fathers account.
At half past IL she began her examination.
AT half past l she had failed again in this
single branch, and she went at once to the
nearest postofice station and dropped letter
to her parents in which she said, in substance:

failing. My head feels funny. God knows

sympathies of the Partisan public to obtain pc
cuniary assistance. DR.. PAWS wife and family

The Sentinel, with an affected spasm Of de-
cency says its infamous disgraceful, coward
ly brutal libel on her marriage and the sub
sequent birth of her child is not intended to
injure Mrs. Blaine's good name, for whom it
processes to entertain the highest respect. From
thefour columns of fetid brutality it published
yesterday we Gull the following expressions
used toward and concerning Mrs Blaine.
Let honorable husbands and fathers, wives
and mothers judge from these phrases whether
the Sentinel has or has not attacked Mrs.
Blaine in its political malice and desperation:
tHThe scandal which run rife y
in Kentucky against the honor of the woman ;"
"The unfortunate condition in which the
woman he tells us he loved so well was pub
licly known to have left the State
'aThe despicable wrong Of allowing the
public to believe that the child to which she
was to give birth was an iregitimate child"
Without any evidence of honor to con
front the scandal which rose up against her,
and bowed her down at her very home"
1--WE have only pity for the victim
Deceived by a false marriage, and placed
in dishonorable position"
Walk before her young lady pupils and
her associates as woman of shame, as his
wanton mistress"

a cloud
leave her Kentucky associates, pupils
and friends in shame and dishonor."

THE poem over the authorship of which J. A.
Joyce and Mrs Ella Wheeler-w Wilcox are wrang-
ling is as follows:

ng is as follows:
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For this brave old earth must borrow its mirth,
1t has troubles enough of its own.
Sing and the hills will answer;
Sigh it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to joyful sound.
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure Of all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your nectar d wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast and the world goes by;
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For long and lordly train;
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain"

The States which are generally regarded close
or doubtful are Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana,
New Jersey and New York. The Democrats
talk Of Wisconsin and Michigan, and the Pacific
coast States, but this is nonsense They also
claim Ohio, but we regard Ohio as safe for
Blaine and Logan, and so we do New York, by
a decided majority. We regard 2l2 votes as
certain for Blaine and Logan, with probability
of thirty more, and a possibility of still thirty
more. But with a dead, steady pull 212 votes
are in sight.
