LAST WEEKS Puck has an admirable car
toop representing Blaine with double face,
and looking in opposite directions; one face
beams heugnanLly upon Maine, and in his
outstretched hand he holds scroll on
which is inscribed in glazing capitals, PRO-
BIBIT1oN; the other face smiles with rather
q maudin leer upon Ohio, and in the SIN
lister hand is a mug overlooking with foam
ing beer, and underneath the sentiment
s:Here's to my German friends!" Thus
vould our modern Colossus bestride the
world, and thus our Statesman for revenue
only" straddle the high wall between prohi-
bition and sumptuary legislation. His at
ti,ude is strikngly suggestive of the famous
smile of Sheridan-the blank leaves be-
tween the new and old testament, or high
wall between church and synagogue-"bow
bappy he would be with either, were tother
dear charme- away" But like all time
servers, Blaine fears to identify himself with
either one side or the other. He is neither
Jew nor Gentle, fish, flesh, fowl nor good
red herring. Surely that fate must await
him which was so fearlully denounced
against the lukewarm church of old: $50
then because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot, l will spue thee out OF
nv mou,b.' He can not clothe himself in
white raiment that the shame of his moral
nskedness do not appear, but the people of
the United States will soon anoint his eyes
with eyesalve 50 that he may see himself,
as they see all too plainly now, this hide
and-seck candidate for the presidency.

MAINE Is Mr.. Baine's own State, and
the republicans, as was natural, eNerted
their utmost efforts by means of speeches,
promises and money to give him good
"send off" on his Presidential race. The
democrats, on the contrary, knowing that
the republican majority there, reinforced
by the combined prohibition and greenback
vote, would be too great for them to over
come, abandoned the State to its fate, as
being Joined to its idols. But notwithstand-
ing all this the republican majority there

THERE ARE some people who still profess
to disbelieve the charges against Mr.. Blaine
that we're substantiated by his own hand
writing in what are known as the Mulligan
letters. Here is what Mrs. Morrill, says on
that subject
"My husband was outraged by the new
and corrupt methods which Mr.. Blaine in
troduced in the politics of this State after
he came into the management of The party.
He was grieved, but not surprised that the
good name Of the State had been smirched
BY the evidence in the Little Rock investi-
CATION. He knew Mr.. Blaine, and he knew
that disclosures must come some day. 1t
was then that he told me Il had heard of it
elsewhere and asked him about it) of Mr..
Biaine's visit to him after the Mulligan testi
mony and of Mr.. BIaine's passionate appeals
to him for the use of his Influence to save
him."
But some people wouldn't believe dis
agreeable truth though it should be told
them by one who had risen from the dead

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9.

Tur1ArE Senator Morrill,, of Maine, was
an Mira republican, but in all his life his
greatest enemy never impugned his strict
honesty, though in his numerous official
positions, including that of Secretary of the
Treasury, and that, too, during the carnival
of corruption inaugurated by the Grant re-
pime, he had ample opportunity with entire
immunity for becoming rich at the coun-
try's expense. What he thought of his
neiphbor, Mr.. Blaine, can be inferred read
| " from what his widow, as highly respect
ed az a woman as her deceased husband
was as man, says, which is as follows:
"We have always lived modestly and
ouietly. NV husband left only such mod
crate competence as could be amassed by n
long life of hard labor and strict attention
In e3penses. When visitors to Washington
smoke to US Of the great house which, when
Amounted to the Senate, Mr.. Blaine was
sbout to build, and wondered why we had
not entertained much, l could not help say
ing bitterly TO my husband that proven dis
honesty seemed no bar to social recognition
and official advancement III Washington.
He then said, sadly, My dear, the republl,
can candidate for President will be elected
this time but unless new methods are used
in the party and better men become ITS
leaders, he will be the lat one elected
Mr.. Morrill, said this before Garfield was
elected. Half his prophecy has proved
true, and appearances Indicate that the
other half will also But the wonder is that
some honest and intelligent people support
Mr.. Blaine, and that their eyes are closed
to his dishonest acts, which are glaringly
apparent to every body except themselves.
