BLAlNE TAKEB 1T AY AN INSULT
TU HIS FAMILY

0AAAAv /" 1AAAO III AS AN INSULT
TO HIS FAMILY.
Mr.. Blaine, on the l4th, sent the fol.
lowing despatch to Indianapolis:
Bar HarbOr, Me-. Aug. 14-Col. w.
Il. Holloway: have this morning re.
ceived the atrociOus libel of the Indian
apolis Sentinel. The story is utterly
and abominably false in every state
ment and in every implication. Politi-
cal ISLANDERS do not stop to notice,
but this editor assai!s the honor Of nv
wife and children. I desire you. with
out An hours delay, to employ the
proper attorney and have the respon-
sible publisher Of the Sentinel sued for
libel in the United States. district court
OF Indiana. 1t is my only remedy. and
am sure that honorable Democrats.
alike with honorable Republicans, will
justify me in defending the honor of
my family, it need be, with my life.
[Signed] JAMES G.. BLAINE.
The article in the Sentinel contained
the following language:
There is hardly an intelligent man in
the country who has not heard that
James G. Blaine betrayed the girl
whom he married, and then only mar
Fled her at the mnZZle Of shotgun.
Suit has been brought and we sup.
pose Blaine and his wife will have to
appear in court and reveal their private
affairs to 4 great extent.
OF course these wretches who libel
mems wives and families ought to be
called to account in some way and
he made to suffer for it severely. but it
seems to us that Blaine Should have
taken no notice If it. Gen. Grants
family passed Il similar ordeal and
Grant took no notice OF it and the mat.
ter is long since forgotten in the public
mind. II Blaine were i citizen in @ri-
vate life. or z newspaper editor, or
anything but the candidate of Il great
party for the Presidency, it wonl,l not
lie beneath his dignity to notice this
attack in some decided way, but he
c:.nn"t a1for,l to go about the country
prosecuting, or horse whipping, or
shooting people who asslil him and his
family.
Of course it is a nasty business and 4
nasty campaign all around, aud the
wretches who inaugurated this kind Of
II campaign ong1t t" be paid in Kind u
hundred fold. but we believe that the
proper way for Cleveland, Blaine and
the rest of the candidates t. 'lo is to
pay no attention to such things il
person.
Much that is sail about the private
and domestic aft ,irs "f public men is
true, ana mlch is untrue. The voters,
rs \ ru'e, Care little about it. 1t is

THE LIBERALS IN A QUANDARY.

THE LlB6kALS IN A QUANDARY.
The Liberals of the country. or at
least those who write for their journals,
are discussing the question Of how
they shall vote at the coming Presi.
Dental election. Many Of them do not
like Blaine and yet they know that
Blaine introduced an amendment to
the Constitution to prohibit Congress
and also any State Legislature from
ever making any law establishing any
religion or making any appropriation
to support any particular religio" or
any sectarian school. This puts Blaine
right, on the question OF connecting
Church and State, and hence Liberals
like him on that ground but many Oh
ject on other grounds. Then there are
many who do not like Cleveland, but
they remember that John Kelly and his
Tam many followers are opposed to
Cleveland mainly because he vetoed u
bill passed by q Democratic Legislature
to fee Catholic adherents 81 the party
out of the State treasury. Cleveland is
understood to be sound on the question
of refusing public money in support of
the Catholic church and its schools and
institutions. Then again, strange as
may seem, there are Liberals who are
Prohibitionists. and yet they are aware
that Gov. St. John, their candidate, is
rabid religious fanatic rs we'll as a
Prohibiticnist and is working might
and main with those who are demand
ing \ union Of Church and State by
amending the Constitution so as to de-
clare this II ''Christian govern ment
and ''Jesus Christ the ruler OF this
planet.'' Others still, like Buffers
position on the labor question. bat on
the issues between the Liberal element
| and the Church element. they regard
Butler as q hypocrite and as neither
ish, flesh nor fowl.
For our own part. Blaine's position
on the Church and State question suits
US we'll enough, while his position on q
hundred practical political questions
suits US still better.
The Liberals, through their numerous
Liberal Leagues, can become a most
important and p tent political factor
by nominating and supporting candi.

OUR IDOLS.


It is an old saying that 'there is a
skeleton in every closet" Cleveland,
Blaine, and the Prohibition saint, st..
John. are having the closet door opened
now and the public are informed that
there are some bad things inside. But
that was always the way. Either pri-
vately or publicly. every prominent
man has been charged with some lapse
from virtue or something equally
''drpadful." General Jackson went
through the fiery ordeal when lie was
candidate. His marriage was not
just as orthodox and regular rs the
saints demanded it should have been.
Abraham Lincoln's birth was not
timed just to the minute to smit the
fastidious taste Of the scandal mongers.
And so of scores Of prominent men we
could name, something had to be said
against them to appease the common
appetite for scandal. In fact, human
nature las nincl, in common will, the
carrion crow and the maggot.

Thanks to Prof. w. F. Jameson, of
the Pipestone Republic, for \ copy Of
his pamphlet entitled ''Origin aud Pro-
Rress of the Movement for the Hecog.
milton of the Christian God, Jesus
CHRIST, and the Bible in the United
States Constitutions
This little work gives full and cor
rect history OF the movement from the
first meeting ut Xenia, Ohio, il 1863. t"
the present time, quoting resolutions,
memorials, addresses. etc.. and giving
a fair and uni,npassioned account of
the progress and the object of the
movement. The amendments rs they
drew it, is given verbatim, showing
that the following words are to be
added to the preamble to the Consti-
tuition:
"Humbly acknowledging Almighty
God as the source of all authority and
power in civil government, the Lord
Jesus Christ rs the Ruler among thu.
nations, and His revealed will as 1T
supreme authority, in order to comsti-
tute q Christian government"
At the convention at Pittsburq, the
Rev. J. H. Mc1lvaine. DID,, of Prince
ton, n. J., argued that no one had the
right Ito neglect the worship of God. "
He argued the right OF the Christian
element, or the church people, to force
this amendment. and said:
For we will defend this right of our
nation with our property, our lives, and
our sacred honor"
This was probably the first open de-
claration OF war. the cloud not much
larger than y mans hand, which may
yet involve Us in u struggle far worse
than the late civil war.
In view Of all this, Prof. Jameson
predicts that the Christian element
will succeed in incorporating the name
of God in the Constitution.

OUTRAGE ON BLHINE.

The Kennrbec Journal publishes the
fact that some vADdal invaded the
Blaine cemetery lot and chisled the
date of the birth OF one vt his children
from a tombstone. The child died in
1854 in Its infancy. It was probably
their first born and the vandals hope to
make political capital by suppressins
dates. A beautiful campaign this!

ANOTHER DANIEL CONF TO JUDO
MENT

The ADVANCE recently mentioned 4
liquor case at Luverne in which Judge
Severance animadverted in strong
terms upon the wicked practice Of en-
trapping men by lies and false pre-
lenses into selling liquor aud then
informing Oh them. The Judge took
the ground that the party who thus
acts decoy and Ill infOrmer should be
considered guilty of crime and pun
lsl,ed aoooreai"sly. -------------,~-------
Judge Hayes, of Iowa, appears to
hold the same or similar views. The
Clinton Herald publishes the substance
of an interview with the Judge and re-
ports his views as follows:
Tie Judge also reitrrates, and in
language so strong us to disclose very
bitter feeling in the matter, his demun-
citation Of any man who prOcures or
aids in the conviction of liquor dealer
hy inducing the latter to violate the
law. and he holds such individual
particeps criminis in the violation.
That is, If u man. as the hired agent Of
another or Of an association, goes to !,
saloon and buys i glass of liquor pro-
hibitrd 10y the law, and then bec'lnes Il
witness il the prosecution Of that
dealer for the Off-nse. slci, individ',a
or agent (pcnrn-S 4 c<'i,Spirat"r and
equally liable under the statute with
the liquor seller for the commission Of
that particular crime. Such All indi-
vidtal. and the men by whom he WAS
engaged or hired. are either and all Ot
them guilty Of the crime Of cOnspiring
tn violate the law. and he, Judge Hayes,
would promptly instruct the grand
jury tO indict them for what he calls 4
greater crime than the sale of the pro-
hibited liquor. If the buyer, either for
himself or rs the agent IF another or an
association, should purchase liquor for
the purpose Of determining the guilt OF
the seller for any past offense-that is,
if by such person or his evidence any
crime previously committed could be
fastened upon the dealer. it would not
then ~ conspiracy. and the evidence
would be competent.
OF course these are not new views tn
ADVANCE readers. For years we have
insisted through these columns that
such creatures as Anthony Comsteck,
for instance, we're procurers and insti'
gators Of crimt and that whenever by
decoy letter or other means, he
tempted or incited men to crime, he
should be held for crime himself. The
fact that he is in some sense a general
agent Of the government does not
change the principle.
