THE best drive out yet on the Grant
pension business comes from The Texas
Siftings. An old niger bemoans great
loss he as sustained, thousands of dol
lars, and thinks in view of the cireum-
stances the government should come to
his relief. A fuller explanation of the
calamity reveals the fact that the old fel
low has invested a borrowed dollar in
lottery ticket where the promised re-
turns reach millions. Tie millions
didn't come and the dollar is lost. The
old man says he was patriotic during the
war and calls on the government to make
his loss good.

The removal of DIR. Kempster has
revived the stories that the Board wishes
to reach degree of economy in the
management of state institutions ap-
preaching niggardliness. That any class
of sane men would deliberately starve
insane people SO as to gain the reputation
Of being economical is too absurd for
belief. Those persons who know Mr..
Luling will set down the statement as an
unqualified lie. He would not remain
one day member of any board whose
policy to the unfortunate would not be
humane. His fault lies in the opposite
direction. No poor or unfortunate per
sen ever applied to him in vain for relief,
and no man would more readily use the
power he has to punish inhumanity.
1t is pretty certain DIR. Kempster's
personal retinue was considerably dimin-
lshed. The doctor was somewhat of a
feudal lord and never became reconciled
to his being shorn of some power and
deprived of an army of personal attend
ants. And he failed to give the attention
to his duties which their Importance
demanded. That he is able no one will
attempt to deny; but that less able man
but more attentive will do better work is
equally true. The Board did perfectly
right in superseding him and are subject
to criticism for only one thing, not hav-
ing notified him of their intention and
give him an opportunity to resign. His
reputation entitled him to this.

The republican platform so far as it
relates to protection, is the clap trap of
insincere politicians. "The laborer' is
the fellow to be protected. Yes, the
laborers must pay double tax on the
wooden goods he purchases, but he is
protected. The increase of his wages is
dependent solely upon the need of his
employer, but the amount he must pay
for an article above its actual value is
fixed and determinate, and he must pay it,
The horizontal reduction"is denounc-
ed. A republican congress appointed a
commission of men skilled in tariff mat
tiers. They worked for one year, took
testimony and engaged the services of
experts. Their report was { lopted and
the tariff was fixed according to their
Recommendation. The republicans said
it was just. Now Morrison took that
tariff law as a basis and made horizon
tai reduction, and the thing is all wrong.
What does the platform mean?

BLAINE's record will now be subjected
to the closest scrutiny and his reputation
will be regarded as public property. His
nomination is unfortunate because the
campaign will be bitter and personal
one, and will remand the principles which
sc parate the two parties to secondary
place in the contest. 1t is unfortunate
that great principle like tariff reform
should be made q mere incident of the
campaign and, the cleanliness of the can
didate the main issue. The personality
OF Edmunds or Arthur would play no
part in the contest, was either the nomi-
nee. The fight would be on the princi-
pies avowed by the nominating conven-
tons.
Blaine, with his bad record as public
man, is a safer man than Grant. Had
Grant been chosen president in 1880, the
powers of the government would be used
to continue him indefinitely in power.
Blame being man of more positive con-
victions than Garfield, would be safer at
tie head of affairs SO far as Jobbery and
weak yielding 10 undue and corrupt infu-
ences are concerned. In integrity he is
the equal If not the superior of Garfield,
and far more ready to make an enemy in
the support of his convictions than the
martyr president.
Blaine has record which units him
for the high trust whose duties he is so
anxious to assume. He is now wealthy
and perhaps the temptation to which he
yielded when his circumstances were
different, might be successfully withstood.
But his character was then formed; his
ambition was active and the hopes of the
future should have made him cherish his
reputation and guard it against blemish.
That he was corrupt no one can seriously
question. That he has reformed every
one will seriously doubt That it is safe
to trust him as president, but few will
conscientiously believe.
Every one who desires to see political
campaigns conducted decorously. who
does not want to see men of furnished
regulations, but of brilliant intellect put
forward as those most deserving of honor,
must sincerely regret the nomination of
James G.. Blaine.

The wonders of the electric telegraph
are now accepted as commonplace, and
people do not stop to analyze the seem
ingly supernatural in the facility with
which people separated by distances can
converse with one another. A little
geography will show the marvellous in
the telegraph. A London editor lately
visited telegraph Office and as there was
no business on the line he had chat by
wire with an operator in Germany. He
then conversed with an operator in Tur-
key and had the line switched so that he
was IN communication with Teheran in
Persia. The line was kept switched
until Calcutta was reached aud the man
in London and the man in the most dis
tant part of Hindoostan, separated by
1000 miles conversed at the rate of II
words TO the minute ard with as little
loss of time as if they were within few
feet of each otherl

The nomination of Blaine is quite o

The nomination of Blaine is quite gen.
orally regarded as serious error. But
it was one that the republican party could
not we'll avoid. His nomination was
secured more through the enthusiasm of
the rank and file of the party than thro'
the management of skilled operators in
the Wall Street of politics. Those versed
in politics saw clearly the dangers which
beset campaign with Blaine as a candi-
date. But they were overwhelmed by
the tide of enthusiasm, and casting their
judgment aside, joined the throng who
had hunger that could not be fed by
reason, and which nothing could appease
but Blaine.
The position of the republican party is
an anomalous one. weak candidate
nominated by popular impulse and pas
sion. A man who will stir ths enthusiasm
of his friends to its profoundest depths.
but who will encounter the steady, ear
nest and irreooncilable opposition of the
thoughtful. With any other candidate
the contest this year would be one on the
line of principle. With Blaine it will be
a personal one. His followers will have
the aggressiveness and audacity of their
leader. He will stand as the exponent
of no principle, except the glittering and
general one of brilliancy. His person.
atty will be the sole inspiration of his
army. 1t will rouse enthusiasm but will
hardly win recruits. 1t will give nervous
energy to his hackers and make them
active, which, while attra ct
ing Animation for intrepid action, will
rather intensity than overcome opposi-
ton. No other man can, to the same
extent. inspire the enthusiasm of bis
friends or solidify opposing elements in
active antagonism. There are heavy
clouds in his political sky which will
totally obscure the sun which OCCASION
ally flashes between the riffs with such
intense brilliancy.
