MI. Biaine's Career in Con. less as Member
and Spe .ker.
The following is speech by the Hon.
Henry &. Harrison, candidate for Cover
nor of Connecticut, in speech at New
Haven: Mr.. Blaine was in Congress
eighteen years, for six years as speaker.
There were during that period pending
before Congress corrupt measures OF one
kind or another. Du;ing those eighteen
years there vas not an hour when Mr..
Blaine had he been inclined to do wrong
would not have been tempted to do
wrong What was his record during
those eighteen yearsp Applause Every
thing that could have been hunted up
against Mr.. Bla ne has been ferreted out.
During all those eighteen wears of MIR.
Blaine's service in congress he gave
probably hundreds Of votes. Neither
Carl Sciars M r any one else has cver
dared 10 charge that M. Blaine ever on 20
UOted for a Dad meacare or c.,d.ast +,
good one. [Great applause1 Mr.. Schurz
in your great Brooklyn speech, why did
you sappress this great fact? During
those eighteen years Mr.. Blaine made q
good many speeches. No one has dared
to charge that, all those years, he made
a speech ia favor Of bad measure or
against good one. Why did Mr. Schurz
suppress this fact? Mr.. Blaine was a
great Parlimentarian. Carl Schurz has
not charged that James G.. Elaine eyer
made use of his parliamentary skill to
help bad measure or hurt good one.
[applause] Mr.. Blaine was speaker of
the House for six years Neither Carl
Schurz nor any other enemy of Mr..
Blaine has ever charged that Mr.. Blaine
ever made bad ruling, [applause] they
tacticly admit his rulings were pure and
right. l say that, as strong as everyone
Of these is when we are considering the
public life of Mr.. Blaine, their strength
as a whole is increased by combination,
and the result is Irresistible. The re-
suit is thtt the reco "a Of James G.. Blaine
is absolutely Without spot, Stain, Flemish
or shadop. [Great applause and cheers
L say, and ask any candid man il il is
not true, that | have met Mr.. Schurz's
line of argument at the front, and the
accusation has broken down. [applause]
The smoke and the vile mist with which
they have surrounded the true Blaine
disappears And Mr.. Blaine comes out
in the light of the MONDAY sun, con-
fronting his enemies with this brilliant
record in his hands. Applause.

With or Without a Leader.

From ne N. Y. Sun, Sept. 26th.
One of the most serious disadvantages
of the present Democratic canvass as
compared with that o. the Republicans,
lies in the extraordinary difference be-
tween the candidates of the two parties,
considered simply as political figures.
To the Republicans the situation Is
perfectly clear. There can be no mis-
conception as to their candidates ideas
on public questions, nor uncertainty re-
garding his talents, his experience, or
his capacity for politics, nor as to his
relations to his party in case of its sue
cess in November. He has been one OF
its most conspicuous chiefs for many
years. He has disputed for the suprem-
acy with the varying success or pop
ular statesman; but throughout the ex-
tent Of his career, in triumph or In ad-
versity, he has never lost his influence
in the councils of his party, nor failed
to show himself .audaci0us in invention,
powerful in action, uncOmpromising in
his political purposes, and, above all,
faithful to his friends. without COM
menting on the direction I'm which his
leadership would tend were he to be
placed i'm the White House, his followers
kuOW tlde Ill ITO pHOulu XIV ehOAe, mo
would be the controlling spirit and his
would be the mind to inspire the party's
policy. He has been the leader before,
and he would be the leader now.
On the other hand. with such a char
meter as Grover Cleveland at the head Of
the Democratic ticket, there can be
nothing but bewilderment and uncer-
tainty. He is not only entirely incapa-
BILE of'directing his party, but the very
conception of leadership does not enter
his brain. Hs defends himself against
the imputatioR of unitness and inexpe-
riencs by attempting to maintain the
doctrine that the exalted Office for which
he is now such an extraordinary candi-
date is not TO be filled by man of COM
manding influence in his party, one who
can direct its policy and advance its
principles, but rather by some one. who
can perform the tiresoms labOrs of ex-
ecutivs routine; in other words, some
one who can sit at desk and read and
write for prolonged period.

Greenland.

But che truth is that Greenland,
though scarcely an eligible place of resi-
dence. has long been known to be not
merely great field for hunting and
fishing, but also locality by no means
unsuited to the miner, were it not for
its inhospitable climate and the.extreme
difficulty of approaching the east coast,
or at least the most southerly part of it.
Jutting, rs the country does, far out in
to the Atlantic (Cape Farewell is in the
same latitude as the center OF the Shet-
land group, and curving, as it does at
the same time toward the east, it catch
es the ice-drift from the polar seas, and
retains it all along its southeastern
coast. 1t therefore presents the specta-
Gle, singular in the Northern hemisphere,
of ice-bound shores to the south and free
water northward. In addition to these
drawbacks it may be doubted whether
even the pressure of population in civil
lied countries will soon induce many
Europeans to colonize Greenland. And
without European colonization the de-
velopment of such mineral wealth rs it
may possess is impossible. Either the
climate of these regions, as is certainly
the case with Iceland, has positively
grown worse during historic memory,
or the human frame has become less en-
during, or-which is more probable
the habits of advancing civilization have
made the human will less tolerant ex-
cept for purposes of sport or scientific
investigation, of the sordid discom-
forts of an Arctic winter. We say
Arctic for convenience sake, though
in fact Greenland stretches for
hundreds of miles south OF the Arctic
circle. We should be the last to deny
the value OF Arctic exploration, both
as what may be called national gym
nastics and as enlarging the sphere Of
knowledge; but it may be doubted
whether any practical result of market
able value is likely to come of it now.
Baron Nordenskjold's own most famous
achievement-that voyage of the Vega
which has really opened up prospect
of trade on the north Asiatic coast
may seem to be an exception to this.
But the value of this discovery depends
on the existence of three great river
highways from the Siberian Sea, and II
the often talked-of trans-Siberian Rail-
way, which would tap and connect
these highways at their head instead OF
at their foot, be ever carried out, it may
be questioned whether there would then
be any temptation to ships to follow in
the tracks of the Vega. The Macken-
zie in America and the Plethora in
Europe by no means supply the place
of the three Siberian rivers, and such
windfall as the fossil ivory of New ST.
IBERIA, though it might recur. can not
be counted upon. Greenland, indeed,
has the advantage over these distant
and still moro inhospitable coasts that
when its shores are once cleared the
distance to the great markets of the
Atlantic seaboard is trifling and the way
perfectly open. 1t has some trade as it
is, and it may probably have more.
though both geographical and political
considerations are rather against any
great development. = London DAILY

Special to the Detroit Post.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Th0mas A. Hen
bricks has been making speeches in por-
ti0ns of the wsst on national finances,
in which he displays remarkable isnor-
ance of treasury financial operations, or
he is playin. tn, role of blatant dem
agogle, and is seeking to mi7lead the
people. Mr.. Hendricks. taking up the
fact, that the treasury contains over
$450,0O0OOO informs his audiences that
this sum of money is improperly with
held from business channels, either
through bad administration or for Ill
terror and partisan purposes, and that
the presence OF this large sum has ten
dency to induce corruption and loss to
the government through the influence it
exerts on congress in making large and
unnecessary appropriations. Mr.. Hen
bricks knows, or should know, that less
than one-third of $450,0C0,OO0 belongs to
the government and that the balance
actually owned by the government is re-
garded by all financiers as necessary to
maintain United States notes or green
backs at par. That the speeches of Mr..
Hendricks on this subject are producing
mischisvous effect is shown by the fact
that the United States treasurer has re-
ceivsd a number of letters from Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, making inquiries rs
to the correctness of his statements, and
in reply to these statements Treasurer
Wyman to-day sent out the following Of
fetal explanation of what constitutes

The Democratic party has not beer

and is not i'll earnest in any Of its proies
sions Of reform. Yes, there is one thing
they are all agreed Upon, that is. to turf
the Republican party out and swoop dowr
on tho Offices. Does any sensible ma be
lieve that they would respect the civil ser
vice law, the political scripture Of George
William Curtis, if the party obtained con.
troll OF the government? Has Mr.. CARTS
himself any idea Of the real intentions Of
the party whose candidate he is advocat.
ing? II he has the remotest inkling o.
their purpose he is us inconsistent as his
position is cquivocal. While he is
engaged in laundering his philip.
pics ut the government clerks
warning them Of tho cnormity OF
contributing to the campaign fund, tho
knowing Democrats are laughing in their
sleeves and encouraging their blind tool
to keep 1t up. Does Mr.. Curtis forget his
own words at the Chicago Convention
about being confronted by these Same
hungry Democrats, whom he now wants
to soc in power?
The Democratic party will never reform
anything; it is incapable Of rising to the
heighth Of any duty that would better the
condition Of tho country or bring any
greater prosperity than tho people have
enjoyed under the bcnciiccnt rule OF tho
Republicans, They have no issue but n
"change," and no platform but
"spolls." Let ii be defeated.

Diseases OF Fruit Trees.

PSpHIar !Sclcmce .Moahly.
For the last hundred Years or more,
under the influence OF the peculiar
methods OF cultivation which have been
employed by our fruit-growcrs, various
diseases lave appeared from time 10 time
in several OF our important fruits, and to
such an extent have some developed with.
III the last ten or fifteen years that they
have completely destroyed the fruit in
dustry i'll some sections. and now threaten
a more general humiliation Of one OF the
most cnticing and profitable occupations
for the farmer. For the last 100 years We
have heard Of the "blight' in pear trees,
and the best records show Enthusiastically
that the disease has been OIL the increase
during that period. So badly is it develop:
cd in some fruit sections, Us through
Southern New York, that it is Il matter OF
extreme difficulty TO find Il really healthy
tree. For the lust eighty years we have
also heard Of the "yellows''in peaches, and
here again VIC find TINT history records a
constant development Of the aflliction.
So serious have its ravages proved that
whole sections have been derived OF tho
very important industry OF peach culture.
not only this, but the disease is now SO
thoroughly established, and has come to
be so much u matter OF inheritance, that
the life Of the tree is greatly modified and
even determined by it. The peach is
naturally n long-livcd tree, instances
brought to my notice showing that it may
live for upward OF 100 or more years, and
il well cared for it will certainly produce
fruit for n long period. At the present
time, however, as in tho great peach dis.
tricts OF Delaware and New Jersey, We
find that, owing to the certainty OF disease
appearing, or the inherently weak consti.
tuition resulting from its previous opera.
tons, the period Of a profitable life is
limited to nine years, at the end OF which
time the trees are rooted out OF the soil rs
worthless.
