Fresh Laurels For Mr.. Blaine.

Since Mr.. Blaine has gone into the
libel suit business it will occur to agood
many people that it would be an excel
lent idea for him to extend the good
work. Many of his organs characterize
his indianapolis lawsuit as the bravest
and most heroic achievement Of the
age. If to bring one libel suit against
a newspaper which makes no claim to
commanding influence. wealth or Circu-
lation, is noble and a gOd-like act,
what would be the glory to be derived
from combat in the courts with the
Chicago Tribune. the Cincinnati CONF
nrciol the Washington Republican
and the st. Louis Globe UcmOcr0H All
of these papers have made charges
against Mr.. Blaine quite as libelous. if
untrue, as the allegations of the InGi-
annapolis newspaper.
In 1876 the Chicago TrjJ,ute said of
Mr.. Blaine "They THE Republicans
knew him as a lobbyist before he enter
ed Congress. seeking contracts for the
supply of arms. They knew him while
III Congress and while Speaker. as the
inside friend of wildcat corporations.
ruling as Speaker to save their bills, as
claiming reward for his official action.
and as engaged in selling the worthless
bonds OF such corporations. receiving
large gratuitieS therefor"
In the 81. Louis Globe Democrat of
Dec. II, ISL, occur these words: "Mr.
Blaine is better calculated. evidently.
to get us into war with some foreign
power than any Secretary of State we
have had for long time" and on Nav
u, 1881, the same paper said: MI
blaine Is an llnclean man and the peO-
pie Will not have him. He stands self
convicted of prostituting the high ofli-
ces he has held to build up private
fortune, of cohabiting with corruption
for dishonest money. His record
would damn him."
In the Cincinnati Gazette of Deem
Der II, ISL, may be found these words:
MIR. Blaine's retirement from the Cab
met is a matter of congratuation."
and the Cincinnati Commercial of June
I, 1876, said: The Blaine letters. we
believe, prove all that he has been
charged with. The troublesome fact is
That there is a low tone of public NOR
allty in the estimation of the uses of
public position for private gain"
In September 1852, the Washington
ftpaIbcdn, addressing Mr. Blaine and
referring to the Mulligan letter episode
OF 1876, said you escaped the dis

fully kept in view. Thus laws unnec-
essarily interfering with the habits and
customs of any one OF our people, which
arenOt offensive To the moral sentiments
of the civilized world, and which are
consistent with good citizenship and
the public welfare, are Unwise and yeX-
atlOuS.
The commerce of nation to a great
extent determines its supremacy.
Cheap and easy transportation should
therefore be literally fostered. Within
the limits of the Constitution the GEN
eral Government should so improve
and protect its natural waterways as
enable the producers of the country TO

The people pay the wages of the
public employees, and they are entitled
to the fair and honest work which the
money thus paid should command. Ii
is the duty of those intruSted with the
management of their affairs 10 see that
such public service is forthcoming.
The selection and retention of SubOr-
dnates in government employment
should depend upon their aScerlained
fitness and the value of their work,
and they should be neither expected
nor allowed to do questionable party
service. The interests of the people
Will be better protected; the estimate
of public labor and duty will Ice inn
menSely improved; public employment
Will be open to all who can demonstrate
their fitness to enter it; the WnSetm,y
scramble for place under the govern
ment, with the consequent importantly
which embitters official life will cease,
and the public departments will not be
filled with those who conceive it to be
their first duty to aid the party to which
they owe their places, instead of rem
derlng patient and honest return to the
people.
Il believe that the public temper is
such that the voters of the land are
prepared to support the party which
gives the best promise of administer
ing the government in the honest. sim
pie, and plain manner which is consist
ent with It's character and purposes.
They have learned that mystery and

their affairs cover tricks and betrayal.
