DOdging the Question.

The New York Times emptied another
bucket of filth OIL Mr.. Blaine yesterday.
This was nothing moro than might have
been expected. Tho Times has been for
eight years charging Mr.. Blaine with
having suppressed the letter written by
Fisher to Blaine mentioned in the Multi
gan memorandum as bearing date of
"Oct. "a, 1871" Mr.. Blaine stated in the
most explicit terms that the letter in
question was not in the package taken
from Mulligan, and that tho reason he
did not read it before congress with the
among them. This statement Mulligan
took pains to deny, and the New York
Times has been periodically calling Mr.
Blaine liar ever since, and demanding
that he stand and deliver letter
he did not have and could not deliver
Now, whom convicted of having done tn,
object of its vicious attacks gross in
Justice, it crawls out under cover of n
fish woman assault on Mr.. Blaine and thu
excuse that in their preliminary statement
introducing the last batch of Mulligan let
ters Fisher and Mulligan expressly
say that tho letters from Mr.. Fisher are
ieHer-preSS copies Of tho original"
Well, what of it2 Does that relieve
tho Times of the ignominy of having liet
about Mr.. Blaine most yillainously? Was
il ever claimed that the letter in tho frs
Mulligan package was the original? How
could it have been the original when the
original was mailed to Mr.. Blaine five
years before 1876? If Mr.. Blaine failed
to preserve the original there was no
original in existence whom Mulligau
camo on to Washington to blackmail him
in 1876. If Mulligan had any such letter
in his possession on tho occasion of his
unlucky pilgrimage it must have been q
lotter.press copy or duplicate of such
copy.
The Times will have to try again. Shallow
evasion and downright Justification will
not shield it from the contempt of honest
mon. Let Editor Jones toe the mark and
apologize or confess that his papor has
persisted in wrongfully accusing public
| officer for many years. He cannot seek
protection behind silly subterfuge, and
neither can he justify tho course of his
paper by continuation Of tho work OF
vulgar personal abuse and blackguart
J Misrepresentation.

A Safeguard of Protection.

And as they bound him with thongs Paul
said unto the Centurion that stood by, "ls II
lawful for you TO scourgo man that is a
Roman and uncondemnGd" Then straight
way they departed from him, which should
have examined him, and the chief captain
also was afraid, after he knew that he was a
Roman, and because he had found him.
Acts QC ne apostles, xxilc,
The principal reason why our Irish
American citizens arc doserting the demo-
cratic camp is because they feel that the
election of Blaine means protection to
American eitizons at homo and abroad,
Let tho national unity bo assailed and
the nation will spring to its defense. Let
tho humbest citizen, at home OF abroad,
be assailed in the enjoyment Of equal
rights and justice, and the nation, under
MIR. Blaine, would do for that individual
what il would do for itself The weak
hearted will doubtless raise the cry Of

An OpiuIOn on OpinlOns.

Judge Phillips, acting attorney general, has
given an opinion to the solicitor of the treas
ury in effect that section 356 of the Revised
Statutes, relating to the administration of the
treasury department, making it the duty OF
the attorney general TO give opinions at the
requirement of the secretary of treasury, i'm.
The requirement OF any other officer thereof.
lie thinks from vi consideration of the stat
utes that they plainly intend that opinions
by the attorney general upon questions arising
in the administration of the treasury depart
secretary. This ruling is contrary TO the pre-
vious practice OF the solicitors office.

that during the year ending May 81,
1850, there were made by the industrious

to learn that they actually received pro-

the extent of $l5s, ,s36-a duty of cents

THE three emperors who recently me t
