BLAINE AND LOGAN.

The ticket placed in nomination last
week by the Republican National Con-
vention, composed of James G. Blaine
for President and John a. Logan for
Vice President, is one of which Repub-
licans may well feel proud and is entitled,
as it will doubtless receive, their most
enthusiastic support. Whatever differ
ence of opinion as to the choice of candi-
dates may have been held before the con-
ventiou performed its work, diversity of
sentiment is no longer in order and Repub-
licans of every name should now unite and
move upon the common enemy. The name
ofthe statesman Blaine is an s.augury of
success in the present campaign and
coupled with that of the gallant soldier Lo-
gan renders the ticket invincible before
the people and certain of an:election. Not
only will there be solid north in their
favor but it seems highly probable that
such states in the south as Virginia and
West Virginia will, if allowed to cast
free ballot, place themselves in the Blaine
and Logan column.
The admirable platform adopted by
the convention has the right ring to it
and will meet with hearty endorsement
from Republicans everywhere. The
issues now before the country OF the
tariff, labor, civil service and other ques-
tons are met fairly and squarely so that
no mistake can be made as to the position
of the Republican, party in the pending
canvass.

publican leaders. 1t was about this time
that Blaine ran afoul of Roscoe Conkling
and alluded to him in debate as a turkey
cock, an epithet so apt that Conkling
never forgave it. During the period of
Southern reconstruction Blaine made
many speeches and attracted much atten.
ton and spread his fame as an orator
In the Forty Srst, Forty-second and
Forty-thrd congresses he was elected
speaker of the house. In this capacity
he showed a ready knowledge of parlia.
mentary usage and fairness .and impair
'iality in his rulings that won him gener-
al praise from both parties.
He is regular attendant at the Pres
byterian church at Washington. His
entire family are of the same belief. His
mother, however, was Roman Catholic.
Mr.. Blaine himself is cousin OF Mrs.
Gen. Sherman. It is his connection with
the Ewing family which has brought up
from time to time the charge that he was
himself Catholic. Tt would not be
possible to obtain from Mr.. Bsaine him.
self any public denial of such charge.
He does not believe that any one has
right to introduce religious test in
political canvasses. ] once heard him
say: 81 have always been member of
the Presbyterian church. | have never
been Catholic; but would not make
any public statement that was not
Catholic, because I would not be made

JAMES @. BLAINE.
The Nominee for President.

James G. Blaine was born at Indian
Hill Farm, Washington county, Pa, the
31st of January, 1880. The boy had
every advantage. He had special in
structors and the advantage of "a prelim-
mary training school at Lancaster, O.,
where he lived with his relatives, the
family of Thomas Ewing, the then sec
rotary of the treasury. He was broug hit
into contact with politics when a mere
lad of IL. He was graduated from the
Washington university of Western Penn
sYlvania in 1847 before he was quite Is.
There appears no period in his early life
where he was not successful Indeed,
in accordance with ordinary rules,
Mr. Blaine should have had much harder
times to have brought out his powers. AS
a teacher for several years he fastened
his college requirements, while his sub.
sequent ten years experience as polite
al editor developed his powers as clear
and ready writer. Chairman of the
Republican Central committee in Maine
at the age of %, ne has since that time
retained his ascendency as political
leader. Coming to congress in 1862, he
soon attracted the attention of Lincoln
He never occupied more than a page oil
The Congressional Record. He never
spoke unless he had something to say
This attracted Lncoln's attention. He
was almost the first man to divine
Blaine's future and accurately prophecy
what he would accomplish. At the age
of 80 Mr.. Blaine was made speaker OF
the honse, and for six years filled that
post with an ability that was conceded
by all.
In 1850 he went to Kentucky as q
teacher in the military academy at Blue
Lick Springs. Here he met Miss Stan
wood, Massachusetts, girl, who subse
quently became his wife. In the course
of a year or two Blaine made up his
mind that teaching school wasn't his forte
and he went back to Pennsylvania. He
then studied law, but never practiced it,
In 1853 he removed to Maine and there
began bis public career, With aid from
his wife's relatives he became the editor
of the Kennebec Journal, and in the
course of few months he removed to
Portland where he edited the Advertiser
His position and family connections soon
brought him into prominence politically
In 1853 he was elected to the Maine
legislature. He was five times reelected
and In 1860 and in 1852 was chosen
speaker Of the house, in which position
he exhibited the same excellent qualities
afterwards displayed as speaker of the
national house of representatives.
In 1862 Mr.. Blaine was elected to con-
gress. During the first term he gave
himself up to study and observation, but
in the next congress, the Thirty-ninth
he gained some prominence. and from
that time to the end of his career he oc
cupied foremost place among the Re

Stay ON the Farm.

The disposition of so many
young men to leave the farm and
come to the city is not creditable
to their intelligence. Every city al
most is overcrowded with this
class of helpless young men. They
grow up on the farms with no idea
of the trials and temptations that
beset their class in the large cities.
They think they can live in the
cities without the toll and drudg-
cry they say is a part of farm life.
There are many ways of living in q
city, but there is but one honora-
BILE way, and that is surmounted
with as many trials and hardships
as earning ones living on the farm,
and that is to earn it honestly. A
young man without trade will
find he has towork harder to make
both ends meet in the city than
on q farm.
The young man who thinks the
world owes him a living, and that
the obligation will be chanceled in
the city, makes a mistake that is
often learned too late. There is
no more room for idlers in the city
than on the farm. The criminal
class receives some of its most vic
ious recruits from young men who
thought they were too smart to be
farmers, come to the city, found
they had made mistake, dropped

CHOLERA SHIP
On Her Way to New York
from the West Indies.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-The
State Department to-day informed
the Surgeon General of the Mar
inc Hospital Service that the Uni
ted States consul at Barbados has
telegraphed as follows: "Ship
Bracadaile left st. Lucia for New
York on the 10Th inst. with chol-
era" This is the British steamer
which left Calcutta on the 4th of
June bound for Demarara and
New York. Cholera broke out
during the passage, and on her ar
rival at Table Bay, July 4th, she
was reported to have had eighteen
fatal cases. The health officer at
New York was at once notified by
telegraph. No apprehension is
felt at the Surgeon Generals OF
fee, as the vessel will be properly
cared for upon her arrival at the
New York quarantine by the health
officer at that port.

One of the hardest lessons in life
for young people is to practice
economy. 1t is a harder thing for
q young man to accumulate and
save his first 1000 than his next
$4,000. A man can be econom-
ical without being mean, and it is
one of the most solemn duties to
lay up sufficient in his days of
strength and prosperity to am
ply provide for himself and
those who are or may be Deepen
dent upon him in days of sickness
or misfortune. Extravaganza is
one of the greatest evils of the
present age. It is undermining
and oyerturning the Hottest and
best principles that should be re-
tanned and held sacred in society.
1t is annually sending thousands
OF young men and young women
to ruin and misfortune.
Cultivate then, sober and indus
trious habits; acquire the art of
putting a little aside every day
and for your future necessities,
avoid all unnecessary and foolish
expenditures. Spend your time
only in such manner as shall
bring you profit and enjoyment,
and your money for such things
as you actually need for your COM
fort and happiness, and you will
prosper in your lives, your bust
ness, and will win and retain the
respect and honor of all worthy
and substantial people.
