JAMES G. BLA1NE's WAR RECORD.

JAMES G. BLAINE's WAR RECORD
What is his war record that it should enti-
tie him to the confidence OF the people, al
though he was foremost in the proceedings
that led to the war? He was the first to be
drafted in his district. But prior to that
an organization had been effected in Au-
gusta to protect men against the draft,
each member paying $25 to the fund to
hire substitute if drafted. Mr.. Blaine,
out of that fund, hired a substitute named
Bradford. A soft place was found for the
man to remain at the post in Augusta in
stead of going to the front. After awhile
he was detected in selling for money certain
certificates, and was kept in Jail until the
close of the wal. That constituted Mr.
Blaine's service in the field. Loud laugh
ter. After the war had closed, the men
who had been drawn claimed that the towns
and cities should pay the expenses they
had been put to, and Augusta generously
voted to pay these men the money they
hao paid for substitutes and Mr.. Blaine
got bis bond for 5000. But that is not the
end. Afterward q resolution was put be-
fore the common council of Augusta to
pay Mr.. Blaine 5000, the amount he had
paid for substitute, and it was voted and
passed, and he was paid. That you can
rely on as being a true story. f.. PHI

SUICIDE OF Hon. HESTER CLYMER.-We
noticed last week the sudden death at Read
ng, Penn, of Hon. Hester Clymer, Ex-
member of Congress. 1t has since transpir-
ed that his death was caused by an overdose
of morphia taken with suicidal intent. In
two letters left by him, he speaks of finan-
cial embarrassments. 1t appears that after
Mr.. Clymer had taken the morphia he be-
came possessed with the idea that it would
not accomplish his purpose. He then caught
up carving knife and attempted to cut his
throat. About this time his wife went into
the room. Her screams brought persons to
her assistance, who remained with Mr..
Clyner all night, walking him around the
room and using every means to counterfeit
the effect of the poison. Mrs. Clymer is
very i'll from the shock of her husbands
sudden death, and.her recovery is doubtful.

Corrupt Public officials.

THE NEED OF a CHANGE OF ADMINIs1RA-
The Washington correspondent. of the
Bait. Sun, under date of Thursday last,
says
s'Surprise and CONSERVATION at the heavy
defalcations in the Navy and Postoffice De
partments have not had time to subside be-
fore the public mind is again startled with
the news of shortage in the State De-
partment, the department which of all 9th
ers was supposed to be hedged around with
the strictest and most extreme conservatism.
The question now is, who will be the next
official discovered to have gone wrong p
Belief is becoming deep-seated that addi-
tional and heavier defalcations of depart
ment officials exist, although the attempts
made to cover them up may postpone Tor
time the inevitable disclosures. 1t has long
been the opinion Of experienced public men
that the true condition of affairs in the de-
partments here could never fully be brought
to light while the party which has mad con-
troll of the government for twenty-four years
remained in power. There are many other
officials beside Mr.. Burnside who, without
private means, are known to be living at a
rate largely in excess of the pay received by
than. Democratic statesmen cannot fail to
take advantage of the opportunity afforded
to make political capital by the dishonesty
of high officials in appropriating to their
own use the-public funds, but apart from
all considerations of political character the
people of the country are apt to ponder
whether it is wise to entrust such a long
lease of absolute power over all the vast in
terests of this government to any one
dynasty. The doubt presented is douhly
important at this juncture, when it is pro-
posed to perpetuate for another four years
this same dynasty, under the rule Of one
whose very name is a synonym for public
and private jobbery and everything that is
loose in public morals.

The immemorial Institution of trial by jury,
