p@A Shrewd observer explains that when
a lover leaves the house of his adored one at
late hour in the evening, and walks mus
ingIy homeward between the twinkling
stars, his fond fancy pictures her clothed in
white samite, resting sweetly on the pillow,
with unbound hair tossed about her sleep
ing face, and angels bending over her couch
whispering heavenly dreams. Perhaps at
that very moment she is in the pantry
gnawing crust or sitting flat on the floor
pairing her corns.

BLAINE's NEPoTIsM.-The sketches of
James G. Blaine, the Republican nominee
| for President, say nothing about his propen-
sity for monopolizing offices in the Federal
service for members of his own family and
their relatives. Hereditary off1ce-holding
| is trait of the Blaine family. Mr.. Blaine
numbers about thirty of his kinsmen who
hold positions on the public payroll through
his influence. Most of them have had no
other occupation except office holding.
They have been in office nearly all their
Many of the places filled by them are sine
cures with only nominal duties. None of
them are elective officials. Several Of Mr..
! Blaine's ancestors were appointive office
holders.
Blaine's son, Walker Blaine, was placed
| in the Government service as soon as he
quit school. He has been Assistant Secreta-
nv of State, and is now counsel for the Uni
| ted States in the French Claims Commission
at a big salary. He is kept in Office solely
on the strength of his dads name.
One of Mr.. Blaine's brothers is major in
the United States army. He was advanced
| to his present rank over the heads of older
officers merely because he was a Blaine.
Three first cousins of Blaine have life Of
fees in the United States army. Col. John
J. Coppinger, the son-in-law of Blaine, as a
colonel of the army, occupies life office.
Blaine's brother-in-laW, James A. Dodge, is
an inspector of custams, detailed to Special
Treasury Agent Brackett's Office. His work
is nominal and his pay large. From the
long time that he has been on the payroll,
he may be considered a life-official. He was
appointed and is kept in place for the reason
! that he is one of the Blaine family.
Two of Blaine's nephews, named Stan
wood, fill first-class clerkships in the Custom
House. They have been there most of a
lifetime, and have been advanced to their
present positians on the strength of Blaine's
name.
Another Blaine man named Stinson is. an
agent of the Internal Revenue Department
for this city.
The other members of the Blaine dynas-
ty are quartered in various departments in
the national service. Theyare all believers
in the un-American notion of hereditary
family office holders.
The Blaine family and dependents, it is
estimated, have drawn ninety-one and q
half million dollars from the United States
Treasury in the past twenty-five years. In
the work of Blaine's election the number of
Blaine's Federal office-holders is to be large
ly increased.-Neao York NeWs.

A QUESTION OF GOOD FAITH.-If the
two mills tax for public schools should be
abolished, where would South Carolina
stand in the opinion of the country? Could
she hold up her head after such a breach of
good faith? The solemn promise has been
given that the schools shall be supported
and built up. Was it vain and empty
promise, made to delude our own people
and the public in general? Would itnot be
shameful to acknowledge such double-deal-
ing There is something sacred in public
faith. Itcannot be recklessly violated with
impunity. Medium.

A HIGH AND MERITED COMPLIMENT
The Detroit Free Press says of Mr.. Tilden's
letter of declination: "It will more than
ever confirm the popular judgment in the
comprehensive capacity sincerity and lead
ership Of the President-elect of 1876, and
make them the more regret that through
his absolute refusal to become candidate,
the country will be deprived of his inestima-
BILE services. Mr.. Tilden's letter is that of
a patriot and statesman. No one recognizes
better than he the possible peril which might
attach to his nomination and election. He
understands fully the great work which any
honest President must undertake and ac-
complish, and he knows, from experience,
what strain the faithful public servant,
endowed with tremendous trust, must en-
counter. Putting aside all ambitiOn-al-
though he might have the nomination by
simply saying, Il will accept'-in fact, by
even leaving it without a word to the Dem
ocrats in National Convention assembled
he retires from public life, leaving it to his
party to choose fit and worthy successor.
No man in the history of the country ever
held as unique or, on the whole, as grand a
position as Mr.. Tilden occupies to-day. A
rightfully elected President of the United
States, he has lived to see his competitor,
who was elected to Office by fraud, sink into
obscurity, if not contempt while he has at
his command nomination for the Presi-
dency, which he does not need as an honor,
and which he feels he cannot accept as a
trust"

The DEMOCRATIC OPPoRTUNITY.-But
while the Democrats have great opportu-
nifty to attain power, it is not only possible,
but even probable, that they may assure the
election of Blaine by Democratic suicide.
A free"trade deliverance would end the con-
test; the nomination of a distinct free-trade
candidate, Of the Morrison school,, would
a landslide, and a doubtful attitude of the
party, either in its candidate or platform,
would end all hope of Democratic triumph.
The Democratic leaders have Democratic
success or defeat in their own hands which
will they hoose?-PhiladeLphia Times.

unjust.
Yesterday an alteration occurred in a
bar-room between two drunken loafers,

severely cut with beer glass.

occurred, both principals were on their

WHERE THEY ARE.-But two of our four
ex-Presidents suryive--Grant and Hayes
Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Polk, widows of ex-
Presidents of past generation, still linger
with US.
Of the Republican and Democratic candi-
dates for President since the organization
of the Republican party in 1856, Buchanan,
Douglas, Breckenridge, Lincoln, Greeley
and Garfield are dead. Douglas died early
in the war; Buchanan lived to see the war
ended, and died in 1868; Breckenridge died
soon after the failure of the Confederacy
Lincoln was murdered in 1865, just after he
had entered upon his second Presidential
term Greeley died in 1872, before the Elec-
toral College had recorded his overwhelming
defeat, and Garfield shared LincOln's fate
when four months in Office. Of the living
candidates, Fremont, who made the brilliant
contest against Buchanan at the first Repub-
lican battle, lives in New York; Mcclellan,
election, is living in New Jersey Seymour,
who carried New York against Grant in
1868, is residing on his New York farm
Grant who has many homes, but prefers
New York, is regarded as a resident there
Tilden is resting at Greystone, just outside
of New York City; Hayes is cultivating
economy at Fremont, Ohio, and Hancock is
enjoying the victories of peace in the New
York forts.
Of the candidates for Vice-President in
the same period, Breckenridge, Blair, Day
ton, Herschel V. Johnson, Andrew Johnson,
Lane and Wilson are dead, and all the living
are out of public place, except Pendleton,
who is about to retire from the Senate, and
Arthur, who is now President; Brown still
resides in Missouri Hendricks and English
are still wrestling with party factions in In

HIS Opinion of Prrsidcnf-E Elect Cleveland
and the Democratic Party.
STATE oF MTNNFsoTa

STATE OF MINNESOTA.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
ST. PAUL, Dec. 16, 1884.
To the Editor Of The World;
l am in receipt of your letter of Dec. 3,
1884, asking-"Now since the excited parti-
san fcrvor of the ampaigu has subsidized into
its normal state and it is settled that the
Democratic party is to resume control of the
Government" for q ''candid, succinct opin-
ion as to Grover Cleveland's fitness for the
Presidency and as to the prospects of the
country under his Administration" Your
request is unique aud amusing. That an
organ of the successful party should be in
curing of its opponents after election con.
corning the fitness of its candidate aud seek
ing TO be treasured as to the influence of its
party's success upon the country is certainly
unusual, aud indicates, one would say, that
the success was unexpected and rather dis
concerning.
/ share your interest in the questions that
agitate you and have not the presum ption TO
attempt their solution. Without doubt Gov
Cleveland is well equipped with god inten-
lions, but the administration of govern
ment of such extent and such a number of
servants as ours is largely beyond the per-
sonal reach and control of its head. This re-
Election, which might be comforting in case
of President really worse than the average
of its party, is otherwise when the President
elect, in the opinion of those who demanded
his nomination as the price of their support,
is much better.
! think, however, that while the majority
Of the Senate shall remain in opposition, as
at present, the possession of the executive
department and one branch of the legisla-
tive by the Democratic party might be look
ed upon with patience as merely affording
that party an opportunity to redeem itself
with the least peril to the interests of the
country, by attempting to make new and
better record. Yours respectfully,
i. F. HUBBARD. Governor
