the affairs of other countries forbidden
by the comfy Of nations.
Blaine is regarded as the representa-
tive of the desperate adventures who
seek to precipitate a war with Il foreign
power simply for The purpose of graft
flying their own selfish or malignant
purposes, while Cleveland is looked
upon as a conservator of peace who
would have the republic respected for
its Just and fair treatment of foreign
nations and its dignity and fairness on
ali questions affecting its relations
with these nations. Hence intelligent
business men dread the election of
Blaine, and hope and strive for the
election of Cleveland. They will vote
against a candidate whose election
would unsettle business and most like
ly add many millions Of dollars to the
public debt OF the United States.
They will support a candidate whose
whole public career is a testimony
that he will not administer the affairs
of government in rashness, or for the
achievement of selfish purposes. They
are naturally and logically against
James G. Blaine and for Grover Cleve-
land.

The Split In virginia.

RICHMOND, July 1S.-All is not Sc
rene in the Republican camp in Vir-
ginia. The two electoral tickets put
up by Malone and Shaight-out wings
are still in the field. General w. c.
Wickham, a member of the State Sen
ate and one of the most influential
anti-Mahone Republicans in the State,
to-day said he was opposed to any
compromise with Malone which does
not contemplate the retirement of
both electoral tickets and the select
ion of a brand-new one, to he selected
by both wings of the party in this
State. General Wickham looks upon
the proposition to retire three or four
Of the men now on the Malone cleo
torial ticket and the substitution of as
many Straie ht-outs as ridiculous. He
does not believe that such a course
would be any concession worth the
name. AT present the indications are
that harmony will not be secured in
the Republican ranks Many promi-
nent Straight-outs fully concur in the
view taken Of the matter by General
Wickham.

The Business Element for Cleveland.

The business element Throughout
the country is as a rule opposed to
Blaine and in favor of Cleveland. The
great organs of public opinion in the
business metropolis of the country
prove this to be the fact by their out
spoken condemnation of the candida
cy of the former and their vigorous
support of that of the latter.
During his brief administration of
the State Department of the Garfield
Cabinet Mr., Blaine proved himself to-
tally unfit to cope with the diplomacy
Of other nations. He came very near
involving the United States in a war
with Chill about the private business
OF a person who was not a citazen OF
the United States He did his best to
provoke hostilities with the friendly
neighbor republic of Mexico by under
taking to meddle in the settlement OF
the boundary line between that coun-
try and Guatemala. He left the rela-
tions of the United States with num-
Der Of foreign States in so complicated
n condition that his successor found il
n very delicate and difficult task to
disentangle them. 1t is therefore moi
Il
a matter Of wonder that the business
men Of the country regard him as an
improper and unsafe candidate.
| On the contrary the steady-going
level-headed, conservative, but vigor
ous administration of the government
of the great State of New York by
Gov. Cleveland commends him as /
prudent, sagacious and reliable man
\ to whom the interests of the republic
may be safely entrusted. 1t is th'
general belief that Blaine, if elected /,
the presidency, would repeat his med
dlesome foreign policy for his own sci
fish purposes regardless of the solid in
terests of the countrp, while ClevelanC
would uphold the dignity of the gov
ernment and protect the rights o

The Queen of Night.
For THE COMET,l

When the moon is grandly risen
In Che cloudlesS Eastern sky,
And from days ilhmined prison eA
Burst the stars forth proud and high;
When the dew is gently falling
On the tender leaflets green,
OH Tis then love to wander
Oer the moonlit fairy scene,
When athwart the crystal waters
Cleans the moons pure silvery light,
Making glad the farmers daughters
With serene and pure delight;
OFT along that foot path yondcr
Walk they where their feet of old,
Free from care did blissiul wander
Through earth's fairy regions strolled.
When the farmer after supper
Accoutercd as hunter born,
Calls up Bravo, Nip, and Tupper,
With the voice Of hunters horn,
When their hearts aglow with rapture
Gather friends their sport to share
Then DER hill and dale they capture
Game beneath the moon bright glare
When the traveller worn and weary
On his journey sad and low,
Halts not through the long nights drcary
Forced by fateful need to so,
To his heart some Joy is given
When his gaze TO zenith flies
Where the clouds by Luna riven
Show her queen OF all the skies.
When the mariner discovers
Signs of fearful storms at sea,
As the gathering storm-eloud h0vcrs
Lost the sailors reckless glee
Ii above the wild waves raging
Peeks the moon with beams of cheer,
Quick-the light their fears assuaging
Tells of safety drawing near.
From the hearts of peasants lowly
From high hearts of queens aud kings,
Oh, proud Moon thus grand and slowly
Marching DER terrestrial things,
Thou shalt win fond admiration
Until Time shall be no more,
Until by some sweet translation
Thou shalt light that other shore!

Mr. Stafford disproved the implied

"Hamlet" by giving conception
such as might not be developed by
many capable actor, and such as
could not be built up by the best of
tragedians without deep, cOmpre-
hensive and conscientious study.

Obituary.

Mr. Ephriam Ball, born October g, 1882, in
Stark county, Ohio, died at his residence
near this city, Friday, January IL, 1884, at
1920 o'clock.
1t was the privilege of the writer to be
with the deceased during the last days of
his life. He was never known to utter a
word of complaint. He bore his Affections
with true Christian fortitude. All that a
loving family could do to alleviate his suffer
ings was done. He did not look upon death
like one who has no hopes. No, no; but in
passing through the "dark valley" the re-
ligion of Jesus Christ was sufficient. He
"passed over' to that better land as calmly
and peacefully as an infant falls asleep in
its mothers arms. May that God whom he
so loved to serve ever shed His rich bless
ings upon his bereaved family. ee~
