A Philadelphia paper brings out, evidently for
campaign effect, an Oil story about the Use which
Mi. Blaine, While Speaker OF tn House, made OF
free pass over the Philadelphia Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad The story, which may or may
not have the effect intended seems rather i1np.oh-
abe on Its face. The point made prominent in the
narrative as its Specially damaging feature Is the
allegation that the pass In question. though III
tented only for The personal OF its recipient,
was more than once loaned 20 another person, in
the face OF printed prohibition OF such transfer
on Its back and notwithstanding the fact that it
had been taken up by the conductor for such al
IeSed violation of the terms upon which 1t had been
issued
IL strikes US that our contemporary views and
treats the subject from a rather low moral plane.
IlO5e who are able 10 take d broader and higher
View Of the question, and who hope Tor a more dig
nihed, honorable and Statesmanllke administration
or pubic Affairs, viii justly hold that the real
onense In the case as presented consisted in the
Use made OF the pass after it was received but in
accepting 1t In the first instance. The STAR Is no
apologi5t for Mr.. Blaine, in this or am other
matter affecting bis candidacy. 1t Is quite content
that he shall stand or fail by his record But it
wants to emphasize the fact that In this particular
transaction he was no worse and no better than
his fellow-members OF Congress That most IL not
q very large majority, OF members OF both houses
habitually accept and USE If they do not actually
solicit and abuse, free passes from railway, tele-
graph and express companies, IS notorious: and
that the influence OF such favors IS most democrat
hing and injurious upon the legislation OF the
country there is unfortunately no reason TO doubt
Unhappny, tee, the evil practice Is not confined 10
Congress Executive and judicial officers, both
national ans state, and the nsmberS Of stale IeSS-
IatureS, as wei, are cUIAble Ia the same manner
and degree and the evil results following the prac-
tice are everywhere apparent. II our contemporary
wishes TO bring about a reform where reform is so
badly needed, we beg 1t TO strike the roots of the
disease, and net content itself with Topping of one

ues The sources that have hitherto supplied the
anews Of political warfare Ia the shape OF cash
Contributions are yielding more disappointment

HE Philadelphia Times, independent
sizes up the republican candidate for the
presidency in the following concise and
self-evident terms: flames G. Blaine is
Just the sort of presidential candidate
to make things hum. He is able among
the ablest; he is brilliant beyond the
average of brilliant public men; he is
keener IN PERCEPTION than any of his
party rivals; he is candidate only to
win, if vast political resources and des-
perate efforts can reach the winning post,
and ne will make things hum generally
from Maine to California as soon as the
battle opens.''

the fitness of presidential candidates,
now the chief topic of editorial contro-

thinks that if its party has no better
candidate to offer than Cleveland against
so popular man as Blaine, its chances
of success in the election are exceedingly
remote.
