The following remarks by George AL
fred Townsend are supposed to have a
remote reference to Carl Schurz: LET
US suppose that James G. Blaine has
lived aud got Office IN four different
states Of the Union that he had deserted
every administration which would not
make over all its effects to him; that
he had denounced d man his associates
say was not elected President,
and then had taken place in his cab
met and drawn the pay, and that, while
there, prosecuting every actual settler
who cut down a tree to build a hut or
timber his little mine, he had gwen to
one railroad, after exceedingly suspic-
ious procrastination, land grant lapsed
back into the government of millions
on millions of acres and imme-
diately afterward had allowed the owner
of the railroad to set him up in
the moral reform newspaper business to
cast reflections and draw slanderous de-
auctions upon all his colleagues in pub
lie life. Would we have nominated that
kind of James G. Blaine for president
No; we would have presented him to
our political enemies to be put TO the
shameless harlotry of making stump
speeches at so much q night and the
promise OF being kept at least four
years."

A PERPLExLNG QUESTION


New York Herald: The august
tribunals of Montreal are fast gaining
celebrity for grave adjudication of queer
points. The latest instance presents a
hopeless case of judicial perplexity
as to the meaning of the word
"dude."
A clerk in the Crown Office had ap-
piled this epithet to fellow employee.
The latter complained of this as an in
suit and sought to have the
offender punished by fine and i'm
prisonment. The Judge was puzzled to
fix the legal status of the dude. He
searched the statutes and his law die.
tionary In vain for light. An imposing
array of expert witnesses were sum.
moned. They included, we are told,
"lawYers, civil service employees, police
men, we'll known young swells, tailors,
merchants, theatrical agents and journa-
lists" No two of them agreed In their
definition of dude. The court room,
says the report. twas packed" "the as
semblage included the leading people"
and "the evidence caused uproarious
laughter" The issue was deliberately
argued by eminent counsel on both
sides.
When the case was finally submitted
the judge was completely bewildered.
He declared that it was impossible for
the court to give legal meaning to the
word dude" He then sought escape
from the perplexing difficulty by de-
Gliding that there was no proof that the
alleged insult had been offered in q pub
lie place. The complaint was accord
inglY dismissed, but the offended
plaintiff declared that he would appeal
to a higher court.

WESTON, O., Oct. 11.-At 8 O'Clock
Mr.. Blaine left Ironton to go up through
the Hooking valley. The workmen in
the rail mills came out bare armed and
bare breasted and cheered as he passed.
At Oak Hill there was q considerable
crowd, composed largely of working
men, beside the track. They had erected
q platform of pig iron on
which Mr.. Blaine stood. He
began his brief speech by saying: 81
stand on the same platform on which !
stood In congress for twenty yesrs-the
platform which enables the IRON to be
made in our own country instead of
England" This was received with
cheering. Then the speech was devoted
to the bearing of tariff on the iron in
dustry.
ATHENS, O., Oct. 11.-At jackson
there was a very large gathering of sim

HR. LOWELL ON THE INFLU.
ENCE OF AMERICA.

James Russell Lowell, in a recent ad-
dress at Birmingham, England, had
some interesting, though conservative,
word to say upon the influence of Amer
lea as affecting British institutions,
words which epitomize somewhat what
has become a recognized DRIFT of senti-
ment in England. After Eeferring to Eu
ropean criticisms on American life and
institutions, and addressing himself then
to single point only in the long list Of
offences OF which America had been
more or less guilty, Mr.. Lowell said
they were Infesting the Old World with
what seemed to be thought an entirely
new dlsease-demOcracYl Undoubt-
eddy the spectacle of q
great and prosperous democracy
on the other side of the Atlantic must

and political theories of the
men of the Old World. Not find
ing things to their mind, Wheth-
er for good or for evil, 1t should not be
forgotten that the acorn from which it
sprang was ripened on the
British oak. He believed that
the British constitution, under
whatever disguise it may be placed, in
prudence and decofum, was in ali its es-
sentIals Democratic. The people were
continually saying that America was
