BLAINE has withdrawn hi libel
suit against the indianapolis SENTI-
MEL and has, with his usual amount
of spiteful venom, proceeded to libel
whole State. His letter withdraw
ing the suit contains everything un-
becoming the dignity of gentle
man, much less man who has occu-
pied such high and honorable posi-
tions as Mr.. Blaine; and contains
everything which tends to show him
up in his true colors. There is hard
ly a newspaper in his own party
which can and will endorse the SEN
timents he expresses in that letter.
Such as the following from the St.
Louis Globe-Dcmocrat, (Which paper
used al its influence for him during
the recent campaign and, as is well
known, paper very lothe to say
anything complimentary or in justi-
fcation of democrat or dcmocracv,)
shows how far Mr.. Blaine ovcrstcp-
ped the bounds Of reason III his
attack:
"Mr. Blsinc's letter dismisslng his
suit against the indianapolis SENTI-
MEL Us exceedingly ill-tempered and
unfair in its spirit. In effect he says
that he could not get just verdict
in Indiana. This is serious accus-
alton TO make against the people of
IA whole State. 1t is a serious accu-
alton against the federal court, which
in Indiana is Republican in all its
branches, and which IN all the States,
whether Republican or Democratic,
Is homes, and impartial. 1t seems
to us that Mr.. Blaine might have
withdrawn his libel suit against the
SENriSEL without lbeling the whole
State of Indiana, her jury system
and her courts of Justice"
This letter, if nothing else would,
settles the writer's hopes of ever
becoming the president of the United
States. Even the corrupt party to
which he claims allegiance could
never place him bef, re the people
as their candidate again. How the
mighty hath fallen.

a TouehIng Tribute.
Evening Wisconsin.

Evening Wisconsin
The following touching address was
read by George f. Westover, a we'll
known Chicago lawyer, at the funeral of
his fOurUeen-year old niece, Dida WestO-
yer, who died at the residence of her IN
Gle, E G. Comstoclz, Of that city, and was
buried at OcOnOmOwOc last Monday. The
little girl, whose parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carlos S. WestOVer, formerly resided IN
this city, but moved to Graham county,
Kan, seven years ago, was brought to
this city last week to receive medical
treatment for her falling eye-sight and
although in perfect health on her arrival
here, she died within fOrty-eight hours
Of brain trouble that bafhed the skill
of the best physicians in the city. AT
her grave her uncle read the following
eloquent tribute to her memory.
at requires a lofty heroism to success
fully meet the intricate struggles of life,
but in death there is but one-it is hu-
man love. The brave man and the brave
woman grow stronger and drawer, when,
unaided and alone they contend with
the adversities Of life, but when the end
comes, they lean upon the fearful SYM
pathy of those who are dear. To the
man, the woman or the child, upon the
dying bed, and to the grief-breaking
| hearts, that overflow with a new tender
ness toward the sufferer, there is really
but the present ministeriug God. That
God is love.
The little one who has just left us lived
life Of devotion to that one spirit-the
embodiment of all that is most holy and
most pure-the spirit of love. "She
knows nothing of false superstitiOns.
The horrors of a faith that sends grand
men and sweetest women to eternal
misery for the color of their opinions,
never for a moment blighted her fair
young soul. Free from hatred, free from
bigotry free from superstition, free from
sin, her angel spirit has gone to the eter-
nal source, spotless as the infnity Of love
from whence it came.
Since her infant days this dear child
has lived in the far frontier, on the bOr-
deIs of the great American desert, with
no surroundings but the wild, illimit lble
prairies. How meet and how pleasing,
that as the peaceful end drew nigh and
before darkness covered her fading Wis
ion, she was permitted to gaze upon the
mighty waters; to behold the brilliant
sights of the great cities; to listen to the
immortal strains of grand orchestral
music, and at last to lie down when the
birds were singing, in a land Of flowers.
and to mingle her dying spirit with the
breath Of roses.
Emulating the spirit Of love and ten
derness of her, our departed treasure, we
viii now return the sweet casket to the
dust of earth, but the jewel that gave 1t
life and beauty shall ever be star in
in the heavens, aleng our journey, teach
ing Us anew the unspeakable value Of
loving kindness, and assuring US of the
matchless 10y of soul unburdened by
superstition and unknown to sin.

BOILED INTO sOBRIETY.
The Latest Use for the Turkish I8ath-EIOW
a Wedding Engagement Was Kept.

The Latest Use for the Turkish Bath-HOw
a Wedding Engagement Was Kept
Turkish baths, open all night" is the
inscription wrought in letters of gold up
on large silver plate above the entrance
of q South Side clearinghouse.
There is an individuality about the
place which distinguishes 1t from all 9TH
ers of the kind in the city. The sign is
above the entrance to aWell-lighted base
ment reached by a spOtless stone stair.
At the foot Of this stair there are two
doors, one of which leads abruptly to the
right into an apartment, which appears
to extend under the sidewalk. The 9th
is directly off the stair. The door stands
open, and its place is taken by a pair Of
delicately-Woven flying screens. The first
apartment, which Is visible from the
street, is a sort of ante-room fitted up
like a parlOr. A Turkish carpet and fine
rugs, heavy plate mirror, and easy luxu-
rious chairs may be seen from the street
in passing, and the air Of the place is
cheerful and inviting. Still the natural
wonder would be to know why a person
should desire such a place at all hours Of
the night.
A reporter for the Tribune descended
the stairs aud entered the shining little
parlor, into which he was followed by a
colored man with a Well-dressed and
thrifty look, who came from the side
door Just outside the entrance.
II would ike to see the proprietor"
said the reporter.

can I do you, siT?"
''Tell me why you keep open all night,
and what you do with the rooms which
your sign says you have sttached2"
''rhe Turkish bath, you must know,
sir, is one Of the best things yet discover
ed for the relief of q person who has
been indulging too freely In liquor" was
the reply.

1t was so close that nothing could be
done to keep the engine from cOlliding
He reversed his lever and shut of the
throttle, and jumped from his seat TO the
ground, expecting that after the engines
struck his would reverse and he would
lump on again. The shock from the col
lision was heavy, but the Marietta loco
motive reversed so quickly that he lost
his footing, and the throttle being thrown
wide open by the jar, the locomotive
went tearing dwOn the track toward the
depot at a terrific speed.
In the depot we saw the Miami ex-
press waiting for its locomotive. The
baggage car was being loaded and six
passenger coaches were well filed. None
of the depot people knew of what was
going on and little thought of danger in
which they were placed. The runaway
engine was gaining speed as it ran. 1t
was within a hundred yards of the depot
when a young switch tender noticed it,
and. thinking something was wrong,
turned the switch so that the locomotive
ran in on the next track to the express,
which was luckily vacant at the time.
| At the end of the track was a heavy
/ brick pillar about three feet square,
which supported the arch that covered
the tracks The terrible force with
which the locomotive struck the pillar
carried 1t away, and the engine, striking
the stone sill, was lifted into the air and
/ shot like an arrow over the street and
/ into a coal yard On the other side, where
1t came to standstill, snOrting and blow.
