"Wil!iam Lincoln Curtis is the name
OF the young man in question. He is now
employed at II. K. Porter s. Co.'s loco

ago he resided with lis mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with a violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of a cold.
ille next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
Ills case was speedily developed into a
violent form Of chronic rheumatism,

was the paralysis Of his left arm.

PICTURES DRAWN TO DECEIVE.

Many labored articles are appearing just
now in papers subsisting on subsidies paid
by the tariff protected interests of the csun-
try calculated to prove that the people,
more especially the mechanics and laborers,
are in reasonably prosperous condition.
1t is not claimed in any of these prsduc-
tons that the times are "bOoming," but an
effort is made to show that they ore fair.
The meaning of the authors depends to
some extent on the accent giyoa e various
words Things are not so dashed ba6,'
said an old-timer once upon time, "but
they are pretty dashed bad" That is about
the situation in the country to-day. Bread
stuffs and various manufactured articles are
cheaper than they were four years ago, but
wages are good deal lower, with down
ward tendency still, and employment Is not
so easily to be obtained.
The reason why the particular organs oil
the tariff-enriched barons are SO anxious to
have the people believe that they are about
as well off to-day as they ever were is plain
A presidential election is approaching, when
policies and systems win be put on trial.
If the existing order of affairs touches the
pockets of the people favorably they will be
apt to continue it, but if unfavorably they
will be strongly inclined to discontinue it,
Nobody realizes the influence which pros
perity, or the lack of it, has upon politics
better than the politicians themselves. The
advocates of the retention of tariff for
spoliation recognize that tho prevailing con-
.dition of business and labor is not wholly
satisfactory.
Organs OF protection may argue to their
hearts content that the times are good and
that the grumblers really do not know
when they are well off. The pictures that
they paint are very joyous, and the sunlight
which they turn upon the scene is so cheer
full that 1t can do no harm even to the most
respondent toiler or the least satisfied bust
ness man. Common sense will teach every
man that the present period of depression is
not condition of affairs which 1t desirable
to continue. In the probability that 1t will
stimulate Investigation and study as to its
cause lies the danger which threatens the
protection system and which the organs of
that system would by fine words and fanci-
ful pictures ward off

BLALNES CRAFTSMANSHIP.

1t is claimed that Cleveland has had no
experience In national affairs, and that as
q statesman he cannot be compared with
Blaine. II is true that Cleveland has had
nothing to do with national affairs, but he
has handled the affairs Of the great State of
New York with remarkable ability His
messages and vetoes show that he has the
capacity to deal with great public questions
in way to command respect and even ad
miration. With regard TO Cleveland the
matters which are being discussed are his
acts since he became Governor. With re-
gard TO Blaine, what is being discussed
Measures that he originated or advocated
while a member of CongressP Not at all.
His record as jobber is the only thing in
Blaine's career that is attracting attention.
1t is claimed for him that he is statesman,
and that in ability he stands head and
shoulders above any man in his party. 1t
is easy enough to make such a claim, but
why not support ii with some sort of evil
deneeS What Is there in Blaine's whole
public fife that stamps him as a statesman.
What measures did he ever propose that
attracted attention or became law ? Where
docs his mark appear on the statute book
1t would be difficult for the most enthusi-
astic Blaine admirer to answer these ques-
tons, While others shaped the legislation
of the country, Blaine was laying the ioun-
dation Of his future. He was brilliant, smart
and noisy, and managed to keep himself
before the country as one of the ornaments
Of the national legislature, but he was q
snowy rather than a useful ornament
Blaine, like Roscoe Conkling, won rcputa

ing comparisons between Blaine and Cleve-

the latter, II would be well for the Blaine
organs to prepare themselves to tell the pub
lie in what Baine's superiority consists.
Let them point out what Blaine did in

ence 10 the lobby that attracted attention.
