: Mr.. Blaine will discontinue work
n,,on his book until after next No.
yember. He will then find time to
devote several years upon it.
The compliments paid to Mr.. Ar
thur before the Chicago Convention
were very beautiful to listen TO, but
he has doubtless come to the concli-
sion now that fine words don't but
ter p%arsnirs.
1t is said that Minister Sargent
will sail tor this country in a few
days. Now that the Republican
nomination for President is made
his successor will be appointed. But
who will Mr.. Arthur reward:
Now that Mr.. TiIden has publicly
declined 10 be u candidate for the
Presidency it may pe taken for
granted that Republican bulletins
concerning his feeble health etc. will
he discontinued.
The soldering over Blaine is kept
up with disgusting monotony. The
latest display was made by a crank
who styles himself the cowboy Of
Nevada. That fellow should have
stayed at home with his herd.
That steal Of S25O,O0O inserted in
the consular and diplomatic appro-
priation bill and which is intended
for the Maritime Canal company OF
Nicaragua, was defeated in the
Senate for the time being by the
refusal of Democrats to vote, thus
preventing a quorum.
Mr.. Randalrs resolution prohibit
ing Federal employees from giving
money for electioneering purposes
passed the committee on ways and
NEAR by Il party vote, the Republic
cans voting against il The Repub-
iican platforms and Republican prac.
tees are sadly at %varience.
General Swain will get more than
he bargained for. He demanded a
court of inquiry to investigate GER
tain charges made against him and
now it is decided he is a nit subject
for a court martial to investigate.
Another shining light in the Rerub
lican party will come to grief.
The Nevada Democrats in demand
ing The removal Of ali restrictions
from the coinage OF silver voice the
sentiment of the people OF the West
ern States and Territories, prospects
i've of party. The ambiguous "best
money" plank in the Republican
platform Will not catch their votes.
New York Erening Post, before the
nomination: ''But Blaine is now
the last prominent champion of the
old system. After be has been dis
posed of, AS we confidently believe
he will br this .'"ar whotl'e" ""'"i"-
ated or not. il will have 40 n left
who will have any chance Of party |
support or for whom any worker will
care to shout or lie."
An exchange notes the fact that
the insane desire of some radical
organs to misrepresent the tariff
issue is one of the very best signs of
the straits they are put to in order to
keep the party afoa'. The Demo-
Gratis desire TO reduce tina tariff, not
10 harm the industries. but by allow
ing raw material to come in cheaper
or free. would aid and encourage our
manufactures. The man who talks
of free trade as Democratic doctrine
tells what he knows to be false,
which is nothing strange as their
policy, and the whole protective
system is nothing but Il tissue of
falsehOods.
Emperor William is reported as
saying that the establishment of the
social policy of Germany was the
chief concern of his reign, and that
her colonial policy will be the duty
and glory OF his sou. There is all
10 believe that such is the
of the emperor and the dream
vi the nation, and Bismarck has
betrayed unmIstakatle evidence,
the close of the French war,
Of his design on several colonial
possessions. But it Ia a dangerous
as we'll as Il thankless enterprise, and
may involve Germany in a sea of
troubles, even if it should prove
successful in the end. which is 10y no
means certain.
World: ten. Butler is credited
a deep laid scheme in securing
he nomination of the Greenbackers
md Anti-MonopolistS, which is to
he !dSl utSict Giitttllstl' LIS
purpose is to use the Endorsement he
las already rs an argument TO secure
he nomination Of the Democrats.
When that is done, he will turn to
he Greenbackers and Anti-MonopO-
lists and decline to be their candi-
late, urging them to unite with the /.
Democrats. The prospect of being
vOed and won in this fashion by a [
'andidate 50 formidable to his sup $
as Butler, has caused a great f,
ensalion among some of the Demo>
rats. However, as Mr.. Tilden has S
lready foreclosed his mortgage on
he leaders who will shape Demo- .
ratio action, there is little alarm S
.mong the knowing ones. I
