THE BLAINE OPPOSITION.

The REPORTER seconds the opinion
of the Evening Wisconsin when it says
that the few Republican papers foolish
enough to bolt the nomination of Mr..
Blaine, have their prototype in the
ambitious bull that disputed right of
way with flying locomotive. The
fate which overlook the bull is in
store for these boilers. And sympa-
thizing friends who shall gather up
their fragments after the fight of the
campaign is ended, will soliloquize as
did the owner of the rash built
admire his pluck, but d--n his pru-
dence."
Indications already abound that
the tide of Blaine enthusiasm which
will flow over the country is to be
simply irresistible. Considered merely
as newspapers, the Newly ork Times,
and Post, Harper's Weekly and the
Boston Advertiser are among the most
influential journals of the country
But considered as the opposers and
boilers of the Blaine nomination, they
drop inconceivably in the popular es-
innate and by common consent are
deemed to be and are judged to be the
mere whining organs of sore-h heads.
Their utmost combined influence to
stay the enthusiasm or damp the ar
dor of the Blaine campaign, will be as
void of results as cup of water
thrown into Vesuvius.
To swim against the tide is losing
effort almost always. And for a hall
dozen papers to set themselves up as
the censors and antagonists Of a liter
ally national sentiment, is sheer
folly not only but an inexcusable fault.
Not since Lincoln's time has an enthu-
siasm for any individual been witness
sed that compares withthe all-pervadiue
enthusiasm now manifested for Blaine.
And it is the part of becoming mod
esty for these boilers to assume that
the whole people are probably in the
right after all, and themselves in the
wrong. Explain it as men may OF
fail to explain it altogether, this fact
yet stands and is testified to by what
may be witnessed on any street or in
almost any gathering of men in any
city of the land, to-wit: That James
@. Blaine is the most popular public
character in the country to-day. And
the admiration which men have for
him as a representative American
citizen, cannot be chilled nor lessened
by anything his enemies can say or do
to injure him.
Journals and factions that oppose
him must strike their colors and sur
render, or get out of the way, or be
ruthlessly run down. 1t is tie
American people more than the Re
publican voters, who have set out to
make Blaine president; and their
on-marching will not be stopped nor
hindered by any obstacle, until their
purpose is achieved.

SELLS BROTHERS.

Enormous United Fifty Cage and
Four-Ring Circus and Menagerie.
Amongst the rare animals which
are exhibited in the geological depart
ment of the Sells Brothers, are male
and female hippopotami, full grown
and the largest ever brought to this
country. They are difficult to keep
and some hundreds Of gallons of wa
ter have daily to be used. They
are the most ferocious of amphibia,
and are by some said to be the iden-
teal Behemoth of Holy Writ.
Besides these, and some hundred other
attractive features of the menagerie,
there is a three-horned rhinoceros, a
veritable monster, weighing FIVE tons
and the only pair of woolly Malay
elephants ever exhibited. The great
show will be at Stevens Point Monday
June 80, and the magnetic influence
of its name will draw thousa nds to
visit it. The Sells Brothers have al
ways had the best circus and ring
performers in the country, and the
department this year has been still
farther enlarged with notible acces,
ions from Europe. There is no ques-
ton but that it is the largest travelling
exhibition now in the the country.

The soldiers are nearly unit for
Blaine and Logan. The boys well
know that their only hope for righting
pension matters lies with the success
of the republican party. The Demo
cratic party is controlled almost wholly
by southern statesmen who were reb-
els and have no sympathy with the
boys in blue. A few soldiers will
probably vote with the democratic
party, but only a few. Logan is
their champion and Blaine
their defender. A strong team for
the masses.

lunched on board. Among them we're
the Earl of Northbrook, first lord of the

and commanded that of 1856; Sir Allen

Recent figures show that the con-
sumption of liquor in the United States
has far outstripped the growth of pop
ulaion. The number of gallons of
liquor consumed yearly has increased
as follows: 1910, $1,000, 1000; 1850,
"a, 00O, 900; 1860, 2O2, 900, 600; 1870,
293, o0o, 900; 1880, SOC, 100000; 1883,
655, 100000. While the population has
only trebled in the last forty years the
consumption of liquor is nearly ten
times greater than it was in 1910, and
the amount OF money expended in it's
purchase shows still greater proper
tional increase. The annual expendi-
ture for liquor now exceeds $500, 0OO,-
600.

The Awful Taste Of Human Plesh,

One Of the junior officers ofIthe Thetis, talk
ing to-day on board the ship of the charges
against the Greedy party, said: t*Here, on this
very spot, one of the survivors held US through
all one night, telling, if words can tell, of his
years from his life to forget it; but he said
that the first taste, the sensation of having
between his teeth the flesh of one who

to feel his lips pressing the smooth, habby
meat that must be choked down somehow
if he would live. And then the inhuman, saw
age way Of getting it! Each feeder upon such
food must cut of his own shreds Of flesh;
horrible Office. Every man, if he would eat,
must of necessity be his own butcher, and
these cannibalistic orgies, these midnight
feasts, were secret: The little beaten paths,
worn smooth, between the graveyard and
dweller in that tent shut his eyes and
refused to see Body after body was stripped
Of flesh, but none of those that trod that little
path dared speak of this. No man asked a
question at the too common sight Of a starving
carrying in his hand strip Of flesh. As he
thrust it into the flames on the end of a
pointed stick, no one of his companions saws
word, and when tearing the smoking flesh
with his teeth, he lies down, and another of
the would-be sleepers rises up and goes silent
~ down that mysterious path, knife

these CHASTITY feasts was as awful as the de-
scent upon the mangled corpsea The mere
thought of what they had eaten brought on
nausea, and in their weak state the stomach re-
fused to retain this human flesh Is it won

Of chewing human flesh forever? 4 hope and
