MI. BIaine'S Foreign Policy.

Some of the Democratic newspa-
pers have commenced to vex them
selves in regard to Mr. BIaine's
foreign policy They seem to take
it for granted that Mr.. Blaine will
certainly be elected, otherwise it
would not be worth the trouble to
discuss with seriousness what atti-
tude the Plumed Knight will as
sumo toward the other great nations
of the earth after he takes upon him
self the responsibilities of the presi-
Dental office. Some of these Bour-
bon newspapers are trying to per-
suade themselves that Mr.. Blaine
will be very aggressive and per-
haps very quarrelsOme president,
that he will spit in the British lions
face, snub Prince Bismarck, insult
the Gar of Russia, gobble up the
island of Cuba, annex Mexico, and
enter into entangling alliances with
all the South America republics.
81 do not think Mr.. Blaine is a safe
man." is an expression that often
comes from his political opponents,
and is sometimes uttered by good
Republicans.
Now, it is impossible to tell just
what a man will do in a given case
and under certain circumstances, I'M
til there is an opportunity to try him.
Mr.. Blaine has been d conspicuous
figure in American politics for
twenty-five years, and has never at
tempted to embroil this country in
war with any other nation. As 4
member of Congress, as speaker of
the house, as senator of the United
States, and as secretary of state I'M
der MIR. Garfield, his course has been
consistent, eminently patriotic, con-
sentative and loyal to the highest
good and best interests of the peo-
Pile. Looking at all his official acts,
no man has any right to say that
Mr.. Blaine is an unsafe man to be
made the chief executive officer of
this great republic.
Besides, Mr. Blaine will be per-
fectly safe man in the White house,
because he is an eminently loyal and
patriotic statesman, who will do no
official act that is inconsistent with
the course marked out for him by
the constitution of the United States.
Those who are familiar with the
organic law of the land need not
be told that it is not the president
but the congress Of the United
States that declares war, leyies tax

MADISON June lltn.
The board Of University Regents
have their annual meeting to-day.
1t is said that L. w Reyes will
present charges against Presid ent
John Bascom, and endeavor to Sc
cure his discharge. The charges in
the main allege that Bascom is a
hare-brained temperance fanatic,
who has written communications to
public journals traduclng the good
reputation of Madison and advertis-
ing the university as a place unfit to
send youth to, because of the inn
morality of the Capital City; that
he NEEDLES in local politics in Mad
ison in a most offensive and arbi-
trary manner, that he is the origi-
nator of the present liquor war in
Madison, advocates a system of
spies and arrays class against class
in fierce local turmoil; that he is an
agitator and Q one-idea enthusiast
not fit for the high and dignified
position of head of a great state ed
vocational institution. The charges
will be long, elaborate and strongly
worded, and no doubt create a great
sensation in university circles

Cleveland Leader: The evidences
are unmistakable that Mr.. Blaine
was the choice of the great mass of
the republican voters of Obi o, New
York, Pennsylvania, and all other
states where any effort had been
made to learn the popular will on
the subject.
indianapolis Journal: There is
vim, enthusiasm, and at the same
time real downright ability and
trained experience in public affairs,
in the ticket which the national re-
publican convention presented to the
members of the party, and with it
challenges the confidence and the
suffrages of the whole people
Sunday Telegraph; The conyen-
toms work was not the best which
it was in its power to do; but the
ticket is one which every man who
is republican from principle can
support. Two months from now
ana from that time to the end of the
campaign-the masses of the repub-
lican party will be enthusiastically
supporting Blaine and Logan.
Catholic Citizen: There can be
no question that the republican par
ty has placed in nomination for the
presidency man of marked ability;
politician, statesman and an ora
tor; leader, who, if elected, will
himself rule as president and WELD
for his ideas and his measures a
great personal power.
1t is only once in a generation
that a man of this caliber attains
the craftsmanship of the republic
Washington was scarcely such man.
Tilden would have proven himself
of the mould if he had not been
counted out in 1876. But only three
presidents-Jefferson jackson and
Abraham Linooln-have lived up to
the high water mark of ideal Amer
lean rulers.
This is crediting Blaine with very
conspicuous abilities, but we hardly
think we exaggerate. At the same
time 1T is wholesome TO observe that
. statesmen, even of the Napoleonic
order, might be far less advantage
Gus TO the American people than a
mediocre president like Hayes, or a
bureaucratic executive like Chester
A. Arthur.
If the time has come to develop a
vigorous American foreign policy,
the election of Mr. Blaine would be
highly desirable. No American, Of
whatever party utilization, can have
helped admiring his broad as well
as his brilliant course in proclaim
ing the lapse Of the miserable Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, and outlining a
relationship to the sister republics Of
the new world, worthy and becom-
ing of this great federation of free
states.
Blaine's character is the very an
tithesis of the narrow and the fanat-
zeal. Despite ali the charges of cor
ruption, partisanship and unscrupu-
lousness brought against him, there
must be something sound and genu-
inc in his nature or he could never
obtain the hold he has upon the
favor and affection of so large a
portion of the rank and the file of
the people. A man so much in the
hearts of his countrymen can not be
wholly bad.

other counties to hope.
Hon. Burr w. Jones is the only
candidate spoken Of among demo
Gratis here. 1t is stated that Mr..
Jones has no desire to contend
against the united republican forces
of the district, but regarding it as
his duty to do SO if nominated by
his party, will accept. Mr.. Jones
has displayed an ability and devo-
ton to duty as congressman, that
command the respect of all people;
and that he would poll if nominated,
the full strength of his party must
be counted upon as certain But,
in this presidential year the Sd dis
trict may be depended on for two or
three thousand republican majority,
which no democrat, however worthy,
can reasonably hope 10 overcome.
Mr.. Jones' efforts and vote for the
defeat of the Hennipin canal appro-
priation was a service to the country
which people of all parties recognize
and should thank him for. In sup
porting the horizontal reduction bill,
the Fitz John Porter bill, etc, Mr..
Jones represented his party, as was
to be expected. If in the next CON
gress he would do the same, there
fore, and for that reason only, do
we hope to see him succeeded by a
republican, whose votes on political
questions will more nearly accord
with our views.
The State Superintendent has
made his usual annual apportiou-
ment of the school fund income.
Iowa county receives $3,593 81,
Grant, $5,872 A., Lafayette, $3,2O3-
IS. The whole amount apportioned
in the state is 3,092.04, which is
5,692.S4 more than last year. The
increase is mainly due to the fact
that the school fund is fully invested
and drawing interest, which has not
often been the case heretofore.
The usual commencement exer-
cises of the State University are an
nounced for this week. To Madison
these college commencement are an
important annual feature, in which
the community generally take live
ly interest. Parents and friends of
the graduating class usually attend
in strong force.
Large calculations are making for
the meeting here commencing July
10th, of the National Educational
Association. 1t is expected that at
least 5000 educational people will
attend, embracing all the leading
educators Of America and many
from foreign countries. Gen. b. f.
Butler has signifed his intention of
coming. The managers are endeay-
oring to secure the attendance of

national democratic convention, who
ever he may be.

the audience, it seems, were in sym

principle Of popular government;
cannot be enforced, and attempts at

a bit of truth about Blaine: "The

TO the hereditary antagonist, foe,

TIE Mormons are aware that
Blaine is too pure in character and
too faithful in protecting the gooc
name of the government to encour
age or tolerate their disgraceful and
uncivilized habits, and they, of
course, are solid in opposition to his
election. This fact alone ought to
cause magnanimous and unprece-
