WEDNESDAY. JUNE 1884.

THE HERALD this morning appears in
Il now dress, summer suit, the style
and makeup Of which, we trust, will at
tract the eye and meet the approval OF
its friends and patrons. This is an i'm
provcment the proprictors of the HER
AID have long contemplated, and only
waited Il propitiouS season to present it
TO the pairoa. ut the paper. For some
time past the general features OF the
HERALD have not been attractive, the
type became worn, the quality of
the paper upon which it was
printed was below The standard,
the rains of the season overlooked
the press room and general demoraliza-
ton was the result. All these almost un-
avoidablc discomfitures came upon us mt
once, and no one regrets them more than
the propretors of the paper themselves.
We trust in the future a more propitious
and satisfactory state of affairs awaits
us, and that the HERALD in appearance
and general makeup, as well rs its news
matter, will meet the appreciation Of its
readers, to whose interests it is particu-
larly devoted. To the members OF the
press and the newspaper fraternity gem
orally, we submit the judgment. dis
played in the selection of the type up
OH which it is printed, and the taste dis
played in the general arrangement and
appearance of the HERALD in its new
clothes.

THE IRISH FOR BLAINE.

Very owly republicans shake their
heads slowly and with half-shut eyes
whisper softly "the Irish are all for
BLAINE" They may be if they possess
the divine attribute of forgiveness to a
degree with which they have never as yet
been credited. But the HERALD cannot
believe the AmcricaniZed sons of the
Emerald Isle will ever love the man
who. in his Grafton of Gariield's obse-
auies, speaks of their implacable enemy,
GLADSTONE, as "that great English
statesman of to-day who, confronted
with obstacles that would daunt any but
the dauntless, rcviled by those whom he
would relieve as bitterly as by those
whose supposed rights he is forced to
invade, still labors with serene courage
for the amelioration of Ireland and for
the honor of the English name.' This
moroccan, read to crowd of Irishmen
who sympathize with their country's
woes, would not be calculated to arouse
that boisterous enthusiasm for which the
patriotic sons of Erin are proverbial. If
such be BLAINE's idea of how people
should be ruled, how would PAT like him
for their president?

NO DEMOCRATIC WALK-OvER.

The visit made by SENATOR LOGAN to
Mn. BLAINE, ut the home of the latter,
ut Augusta, Maine, is significant. But
recently Mr.. WALKER BLAINE, son of
the Republican nominee for President,
was summoned by his father to Augusta
1t is no prediction 10 state that other
visitors, of greater or less prominence,
will be invited to the home of the Rcpub-
lican nominee. These pilgrimage are
the beginning of the systematic plan
Mr.. BLAINE will adopt in his canvass.
So far he has shown that he will conduct
his own campaign. If this in the end,
proves to be a fact there will be such vigor
and brilliant movement injected into
the Republican ranks that the country
will be kept in fcrment of excitement
until 1.-The day OF elecsion. The Maine
leader will bring to the work before him
all those qualities of gallant courage and
bold adventure that have won for him
the famous title he bears. He will make
up in aggressive, brilliant movements
what he lacks in personal reputation.
He will calculate on no easy task, for his
political shrewdness will read correctly
the combined strength of the Independ-
ents and Democrats. Mr.. BLAINE'S cam
vass will actively engage the attention
of the nation, just as his Congressional
career made him the head of his
party, and forced the admiration of his
Anniversaries. There Is no room for a
dull policy, or for dull leaders, in the
Democratic party in the coming cam
paign with such an opponent as BLAINE.
There must be harmony, wisdom and
platform that reflects the sentiment OF

THE Waco Examiner is in error in
stating that Mr.. WELLBoRN is keeping a
Republican clerk for his committee. The
last Congress was Republican and Re
publican clerk was attached to MR..
WELLBoRN's committee, whom he re-
tanned until the gentleman appointed
could reach Washington. Mr.. ROBERT
p. TooLE, of this city, received the ap-
pointment, and fastened to Washington
on the earliest day his private affairs
would admit of. Mr.. TOoLE is a staunch
democrat and worthy gentleman in
every particular.

Too Much for the Buckeye Jurists-The
Matter in Statu Quo.
COLUMBUS, o., June 1.-THE supreme
Court announced decisions to-day in the
Scott liquor-taX-law cases. In that OF
King VS.. Capellar, Judgment was con-
firmed; in that of Leutzman VS.. Wayt-
beck, Judgment was reversed. This de-
clares the second section of the law, per-
tanning to the first lien on premises, I'M
constitutional, and leaves the rest of the
law valid and operative, as heretofore.
The question of the constitutiOnality OF
the whole law is held not to be raised in
case and court, stops with the record.
The liquor dealers will, therefore, be re-
quested to pay the June collection tax
under the law, leaving the matter open
for further test before the semi-annual
payment in December.

by the name of Dan Nelly was arrested
near here by Sheriff Field and deputy,
of Caldwell county. The mailman
claimed to be the high sheriff of Hayes
county, and had been frightening people
nearly to death in Caldwell county for

played in his arrest was worthy the skill
of any official or officers.
