Many of the peCuliarities of Blaine s
growth and development are likely to be
accounted for as the canvass goes on. AL
ready we have had the testimony of eight
or nine persons who preached mt Blaine in
his early life in 1.-THE old New England
way" and if Blaine went from Pennsyl-
vania, as one authority reports, counting
the beads of his rosary" and was preached
At by battalion of New England parsons
" in the old New England way" that alone
would tend to explain his total demoraliza-
ton, for it is we'll known that in the con
tlict or religions feeble humanity is very
apt to take to the woods.
But he apparently had harder things
than theology to digest. There was one
parson who lived SO near to him that he
could throw a doughnut from his piazza
into BlaineS yard, The parson of course
only learned that he could throw a dough-
nut there by actual experiment, and 50 a
grave historical problem is presented as to
whether he regularly threw his old dough
nuts there and also how many old dough-
nuts he had 1t must be observed that the
parson intended to be very precise in this
statement of distance, but he was not sue
cessful, as the standard is only local How
lar can New r-HSlillu ldison III regular
practice throw a doughnut? No curious
student of national customs can be expected
To vote for Blaine until his mind is relieved
of all doubt on this topic.
Probably New England parson com
monty has a good many doughnuts on
hand, because New England benevolence
as exhibited in donation parties is apt to
take that dreadful form. Did this parson
shoot all his spare doughnutS upon Blaine's
PREMISES And if he did what did Blaine
do with thems He may have tried tn eat
them If he did his friends should make
the fact known. because it will be expected
i'm mitigation If Blaine was crammed with
two religions and neighboring parsons old
doughnuts, he is not more than hall respon-
sible for the villanies of his career.-N. \.
