the business community has been .irm
and SIRE reliance. Ordinarily. it has
come down at the first appeal; and if
ut any time it has shown hesitation the
threat that the q. o. p. would withdraw
lis guiding hand from the wheel of
progress, letting the country go to ever
last ng smash, has brought business TO
the Captains Office pallid and trem-
bling, with its checks already made out
in three, four and five figures. Now it
turns a deaf ear TO both appeal and
threat. The claims of the o. o. p. to q
controlling voice in the distribution of
prosperity are greeted with sneers and
contempt. And there are not wanting
among those who were formerly the
the best contributors scornful ones who
rudely declare that the party may 90 TO

will eve- contribute another cent to
maintain its pets in positions of power
and plumber.
This Is sad, as we have already init
mated; but the party leaders have
themselves to blame They should
have known better in the first place
than to nominate q man in whom the
business community VIGOROUSLY had
no confidence. Business men never
did take any stock in Blaine. They adj
mittted that he was smart and cute"
and when appealed to they were quite
as ready TO admit that he was mag
netic," though they had the vaguest
possible idea of what they meant there
by. But they did not trust him. They
I l. hot
ways; that he was speculative genius,
to put the case mildly; and that while
he might be expected to be brilliant in
public life he could not be expected to
be safe. They were opposed to him on
this ground in 1876 and again in 1880;
and his brief career in the Department
of State rather tended to increase their
diStrust of him. They are still more OPP
posed to him now when ''brilliancy is at
such a low ebb in business circles. The
exploits of Grant, Ward and Emo and
other lights of the financial armament
have given the solid business men of the
country a surfeit of ''brllliancy." What
they now sigh for is stability and good
old-fashioned honesty: and they know
too much to look to Blaine for these.
The Republican leaders should have
thought OF these things when they NOM
mated Blaine. They should have
thought of another thing when they cal
culated on the contributions of the bus
, mess men. They should have remem-
bered that their hold upon that class
grew out of their boast that the party
had given it prosperity. Claiming this,
they claimed the power to give or with
hold prosperity, and they ought to have
seen that the business men would hold
them responsible for the withholding
which is so noticeable. They have,
therefore, no right to whine because the
money is not forthcoming. But we do
not expect them Oh that account to
abate whining. On the contrary, we
expect the whining will increase as the
campaign progresses. The occasion for
it certainly will.-DetrOit Free Press.

hands, and with the forefinger of the
right she began to trace upon the palm

''Great heavensr' thought he, ''ca2 it

of Joy came to her eyes.
John Benton bent close to her face,
and kissing her again and again, said:

here he put his mouth to her ear and
whispered few words that, in spite Of
her tears and pain, made her laugh
outright. He had whispered, mo beg

THE Dearth Of Republican "Soap."

The wailings of the Republican lead
ers, committeeman and candidates over
the dearth ofcampaign funds are mourn
full and deep. They have been so accus-
toned to a ready response that they
can not reconcile themselves to refusal.
The col6ness OF the clerks who were
wont to come down so freely when or
dered to 'tstand and deliver" is very
discouraging; but it is hardly as griev-
Gus as the apathy or opposition of the
business men. The failure OF this par

breaks the camel's back. Heretofore

The new-mown hay threatened by

now. He neither knew nor cared
whether the sky was black or blue All
was black about him, and there was
only one object that he could see.
Even Teddy, who had shared his con-
fidence, and Maggie, who had been the
soiace of his poor wife during the dull,
blank, year that had just closed in such
q tr3gical manner, were obnoxious to
him by their very presence. He saw
in them only the go-betweens that
served to keep up the Odious silence.

perhaps, we should have spoken long

He was Just thinking seriously about
sending for doctor, when ne felt a
pressure upon the hand that had all
this time clasped one of his wife's, and
looking into her face. he saw with de-
light that her eyes were wide open and
bent upon him.

She gazed around her upon the
scene of masculine havoc for few mo-

to which were attached we'll filled emf

onto a side-t track to allow the west bound
passenger train to pass. Soon the pas
senger appeared coming under good head
way, and the switch having been left open,
plunged into the fated train, smashing
the caboose and hurting the rear end of
the emigrant coach against the steamboat
shed, scattering the crushed and bleeding
occupants in all directions. II persons
were injured, only 2 of which number
were considered dangerously so. A re-
lief train was dispatched from St. Paul
with surgeons, and returned bringing the
passengers, when the company made an
equitable compensation for loss of prep

MOB LAW IN CINCINNATI,

The most appalling demonstration of
mob violence since the great draft riot in
New York city in July, 1868, occurred in
Cincinnati Friday and Saturday nights
last An Infatuated mob assaulted the
prison with the intent of lynching one
Werner murderer, and were repulsed
twice by the militia with loss of 200
killed and wounded. The Court House
was burned by the rioters involving great
loss in valuable records, and law library
of IL, 900 volumes, the second best in the
United States. All resulted from the
failure of the jury, under influence of
counsel for defense, to give verdict ac
