scMMATKA,s SCHEME.
A Little Ranch Enterprise TO be Com
Quoted by the Ex-Lieutenant.

From the omaha Herald.
The many friends of Lieutenant
Schwatka, in this city, and especially
those in army circles, who have expressed
astonishment at his sudden resignation
from military service, will find the follow
ing a sufficient explanation of his appar-
emily hasty action. Last year after ex-
ploring the Yukon river in northwestern
Alaska, Schwatka descended to the sea,
striking the central channel of the noted
Japan current and examining the Aleutian
Island group. These islands are said to
aggregate about two thousand square
miles, with a perennial climate of about
co. Farenheit the entire year, and covered
with grasses and verdure adapted for in
definite grazing, and having no parallel
on the planet for stock ranges. On the
Lieutenant return from the Yukon ex-
petition he stopped in Portland. and en-
tered into confidential terms with Scotch
Reid in respect to using those perennial
islands for cattle ranches, to be conducted
under the auspices of a corporation to be
organized in Scotland with 'slathers" of
capital to back the enterprise, for which
purpose Reid left Portland several weeks
ago,
Schwatka, it is understood, is to take
special superintendent of the business on
the islands as a sort Of resident manager,

tho more wonderful AMI extra lrdinhry
does itbecome. From your description I.
believe the strange conduct Of the boy is
due as much to the result of his own
morbid imagination as to the possible
poisonous effect Of the virus in the dogs
bite. The overweight nervous tension
might ever account for the severe spasms
which he experiences. 1t is remarkable
how o a peculiarly becomes a con-
frmed habit in u child. Some time ago a
gentleman who suffers badly dined with
a certain gentleman in this city. A bright
little youngster, hearing him talk, imi-
tated him after he was gone. The effect
was very ludicrous, of course, and amused
his parents. In a few days the child
talked in a suffering way without any eff
fort. The parents became alarmed, my
attention was called to the matter, and it
was only with extreme difficulty that
the child was finally weaned from
the habit As children have frequently
become cross-eyed in the attempt to see
the tip of their finger when laid on the
bridge Of their nose, SO 1 4 believe that this
boy, who is naturally bright, had the
danger of dog bites impressed upon his
mind, no. so much by what he had heard
as what he has imagined. The result
shows its effect upon his nervous organ
~ization. and he is now afflicted with this
strange malady which may blight what
would have been a useful career"
The little fellow is not now undergoing
medical treatment, and his mother seems
to have no hope that he will eventually
outgrow his disease.

POLITICAL TALK.
Some of the Current Gossip Of the
Campaign Opening.
The Republican Side Of FusiOn---BIaine
as a Candidate---Local State and
County Politics.

From the talk Of some of the local Re-
publicans the ticket SET up at Buckhannon
is as distasteful to them as to some of the
GreenbackerS. 1t seems that the selection
of Edwin Maxwell has met such an icicle re-
ception that they see defeat staring them in
the face and are now extremely anxious to
pull out of the hole One of these said yes
Ierday:
at will be the utter decentralization of the
party to be defeated in any fusion move
and defeat seems certain with that ticket.
If the Republican party, alone and unaided,
fighting for principle, should go down be
ore the superior numbers of the Demoe.
lacy, all would not be lost and we could
feel like going to work again; but if we now
combine and are defeated, it will look like
a defeat of our last resort and will forever
disorganize us.
an what shape and from what cause
comes the opposition to MAXWELL
There are three separate and distinct
causes. each of which is entirely sufficient.
In the first place, quite number of Repub-
licans regard it as the height of preSump-
ton for a handful of Greenbackers to die
tate ticket to us and say we shall support it.
To meet this, it is said that the Greenback-
ers we're only the tools of the few RepubIl-
cans who set up that ticket; that Mccormick
and Atkinson fixed the slate and
forced it upon the convention, and
that it was not the dictation of a
few Greenbackers. But this only made
matters worse They kicked at the bossism
of an affair like that and the personal
enemies of Atkinson and Mccormick would
fight the ticket backed BY the Inteligencer
and its friends who were fighting for leader
ship. This is the second cause. The third
cause is Maxwell himself Since his nom
ination it has become very apparent he is
not the man we want and that a coalition
with him as leader would be anything but a
success. He was really put up by Nc
Cormick for personal reasons and that you
know, will never do.
What do you propose to do?
The State Convention at Parkersburg
must decide that; and then much will de-
pend on the result of the new call for
Greenback Convention. If any great num-
Der of Greenbackers respond it will virtually
settle MaXwells fusion candidacy and a
new deal will be ordered 1t is my private
opinion no satisfactory plan of coalition can
be agreed upon, and that it will end in a
straight out Republican ticket, both State
g.. ,r,tual 1t is either that, or defeat,
,l,N mimi.

1t was reported on the streets last night,
that General Nathan Golf had said Blaine
would carry West Virginia This called to

=, Oh Is particularly bad prophet as far
West Virginia is concerned remember
STEERING 10 a speech he made at the Court
House in 1876, when he was candidate for

"'My frlo~ citizens of Ohio county, when
next have the honor of addressing you, it
will he as your governor-elect, soliciting
your votes for Ruthford B. Hayes
he next time he had that honor he
was LOT our Governor-elect by some $4,000
majority, and think his Blaine prediction
will be about 10000 off "
The same prediction had been made by
one o. two exuberant Republicans just
after the nomination of Blaine, but they
have cooled off very much since, and begin
now to see the folly of such an assertion.
One very welLknown member of the God
and-mcrality party said last night:
There will be tremendous effort mad

but it will surprise me very much TO see Il
done Fifteen thousand majority is n

SOME WASHINGTON COMMENTS.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Enquirer gives the following comments:
Senators express themselves as follows;
Voorhees,: The ticket is like SQUAD
biggest when first born"
Hale: The feeling for Blaine was
spontaneous, and it will carry him through. "
Ingalls,: The ticket is invincibe, and
the platform impregnable."
Lamar THE nomination is a brilliant
one, and the Democrats will have to bring
out their strongest man to defeat it. The
man is Bayard."
Brown: Blaine is the strongest man in
the Republican party"
George: Prefer Blaine to other candi-
dates named. ! think that something good
is likely to come from more energetic as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine"
Morgan: Il like it first rate Think the
Democrats will beat the ticket all to pieces;
but if we should not, we will have a good
President-a good man for the South-and
that is great thing
Representative Goff, of West Virginia,
says Blaine can easily carry West Vir-
GINA.
Representative GibsQn OF the Hunting
ton West Virginia) district, was asked if
there was any foundation III the claim that
Blaine will carry that State. Its absurd,
he replied, I'VE will beat Blaine twenty
thousand majority in West Virginia. Our
party is united, and will polly / think, the
heaviest vote this year it ever, has
Representative Wilson, also of West.svir-
giuia, says: II can't understand why Blaine
is any stronger in West Virginia than any
other Republican. They have attempted a
fusion of Greenbackers and Republicans
there, but it is not success The Demo
Gratis are always united in a Presidential
contest, and have no fears of the result
Blaine has no special interest in our State
He is a director in an incorporated railroad
