A CEREBRo SPINAL DIFFICULTY.

1t is asserted that the present officials in
tho state department and tho members Of
congress in general are afraid to speak above
a whisper on the Venezuela certificate ques-
tion, because of the overwhelming clamor
that the commission which adiudicatod the
claims was "steepod in fraud" VIII these
officials and representatives do themselves tho
violence to consider few facts set out here
in cold type2 This prevailing sentiment of
fear sprang, in the main, from the Springer
report of 1876, report which every associate
member of the committee signed with pro-
test and qualification, Two or three sew
oral committees of congress which had pre-
viously Investigated tho charges of fraud,
unanimously declared them unfOundod.
Three successive secretaries of state had
listened to the charges made by Venezuela,
had declared them vague and frivolous, and
repeatedly warned her not to persist
in tho violations of her plighted
faith and in her defaults. The official
correspondence of Ministers Pyle and Russell
is continuous, unbrolSen stream of revela-
tions of Venezula's bad faith In regard to this
matter. Never has one of the charges which
Guzmem Blanco Springer assumed to be true,
been examined by any judicial body in this
country, and yet under this mad cry Of
fraud, u nullifying resolution was passed in
the house last winter, and passed the senate
at the very last moment of the session, with
out even the semblance OF consideration.
But is there no balm in Gilead for the hearts
of officers and representatives in congress
which bleed for poor Venezuela, which
republic has had the misfortune to rob and
imprison her American bene factors, as was the
case with Idler, of Philadelphia; to coniis-
cate the ships of our merchantmen, as was
the case with tho Hancox Steamboat COM
pany; to rob and maltreat our citizens, rs
was the case with Mr.. Wheelock, of Brook
lyn, now humping for redress at the doors
of executive and ministerial btters and of
legislative elixir provide no tonic with
which to brace the nerves of timid officers
and congressman whose spines have been
weakened by repeated applications of the
lotions of DR.. Springer? Il.

WILL BLAINE WITHDRAW.

From the N. L. WORTH, aug ga
Blaine's withdrawal from the unfortu-
nate canvass into which he was enticed,
despite his respondent predictions of GER
tain defeat in the election, before the Chi
cago convention assembled, would not
certainly meet approval in the Inner
circles of Blaineism. What could Elkins,
Brady, Dorsey, Robson, Phelps, Jay
Gould, Cyrus W. Field, ex-senator Woo
din, Lo Sessions, or any of Blaine's chums
hope To secure from an upright candidate
like senator Edmunds? What influence
could the Tribune WELD under an honest
republican president? Better for them a
desperate and almost hopeless fight for
plumber than the death warrant of a clean
administration.
Yet Blaine's flight from the canvas is
really feared. He is known to be terribly
depressed He is begging for money to
save his own state. He has combined with
the constitutional prohibitionists and dare
not leave Maine for day. In Connectl'
cut his supporters go down in their state
convention before the lances of the indie
pendents. In Massachusetts Blaine's on
" reliance is on Buffers buccaneerine
aid. In New York the republican money
kings button up their pockets. In the
west the clouds of political revolution
gather thick and fast.
BIaine's spirit is broken. Instead of The
knight of the white plume he is now TIT
knight of the white feather.
But Blaine must not be allowed Il
withdraw. A candidate honeycombe(
with official corruption has been put for
ward by once great party for the high
est Office in the republic. Such disregard
of public decency must be rebuked. 4
verdict of the people against Blaine viii
be verdict against dishonest govern
ment. 1t will purify the political atmos
phere.
No; Blaine mist not withdraw. Tn
crime of disgraceful and corrupt nom
ination has been committed. The guilt
parties must be made to endure the pun
lshment.

LABOR IN LINE.
Great Trades Demonstration in New

Twenty Thousand Workingmen on
Parade and an Immense Con-

of the Features.

New YORK, Sept. 2--Had the day been
ordered for the express purpose it could not
have been more favorable for the grand labor
demonstration than it was. Long before the
hour announced all the thoroughfares
through which it was to pass were thronged
with eager and expectant crowds, and the
sidewalks were almost impossible. At ex-
actly 10 a. NJ the head of the line, preceded
by a squad of police, commenced to
move down Centre street above Canal,
and as they advanced the other
divisions, which were drawn up in Canal and
White streets, fell in. 1t took just three
quarters of an hour for the procession to pass
given point A noticeable feature was the
prominence given to the boycotting banners,
the name of daily paper and several of the
advertising patrons being blazoned
upon it The typographical unions
were led by wagon in which
were stands, cases and press Cir
culars were struck off and thrown broadcast
as the procession advanced The hosting
hod carriers had an engine at work. The
clothing cutters had a number of men at
work at their trade. The cigar
makers had wagon on which

something terrible and tremendous. A
man with Hay Fever isn't accountable for
his actions. He is merely wild beast
frantic with snufing sneezing and head
ache. His eyes are red so is he nose.
Every nerve in his skull thrills with dis

standing. You cannot run away from
Hay Fever but you can drive it from you

FATE OF THE "FLoATERs."
Left I'm the River Because of Refusal
to Pay Reward.

LITTLE Rock, Sept. 1.-The dead body of
a hoater in the Mississippi river below Mem
phis is a sight that can be witnessed
almost every day. The disagreeable
TASK of bringing them ashore is
invariably avoided by the inhabitants
along the shore, and the corpse is al
lowed to proceed on its journey until it is
torn into fragments or poured into the gulf.
Occasionally reward is offered for the re-
mains for some one who has persisted in these
waters. In that case party will row out into
the stream and carefully examine all
objects If he is satified that the dead body
will correspond with the description which
accompanies the offer Of reward, he will tow
it ashore. The coroner generally finds that it
is not the body wanted, or a person who
claims to be relative fails to establish its
identity, but volunteers to give it human
burial ami takes it away. The skiffman, of
course, gets no reward. They claim that
they always secure the fioater wanted, but
are delrauded out Of their pecuniary expecta
tionS by the officers or pretended relatives, and
by these repeated results tho business of
catching tioaters has been almost entirely
abandoned. The officers of steamer report
that there has been dead body lying in the
river near the Arkansas shore for the past
ten days. Evidently it has been lodged on
some deadened timbers and is being devoured
by insects and vultureS

PORK DEAL
The Chicago Spectator Closes It
with Great Profit.
Two and a Half Millions the Sum
said TO Have Been Taken In
Some Comments on the
Transaction.

CHICAGO, Sept 2-The Evening Mail
says: The feature of last weeks speculative
market was the closing up of the pork deal
ID was, indeed, all there was to the market,
50 it is scarcely the thing to call it 'the
feature" The Armour pork corner of 1884
has not yet been appreciated, for the very
reason that it was So cleverly unanswered.
1ossipers are not admitted to the intrica-
cies of Mr. Armour's books, and SO they must
yuess at his profits. Some say that since june
$500, 900 have been paid into the Wash
ington street office by shorts-Wal street
nillionaires, Chicago raiders, and aspir-
ng out-oftown produce gamblers. All
Of these at the opening of the dog days
were throwing their hats up and shouting to
the world that they at last chad old Armour
IN the hip Lackadayl If these registering
SPECTATORS had "old Armor on the hip" in
May and June, how is it that for the last
sixty days they have, one after another, with
crestfaDen air, been walking up and paying
him tribute
But, soberly, the deal was very remark
able one If Mr. Armour had not in May
last had his cellars full of cured meats, and
put to the necessity, for that reason, of Civ
ing tremendous support to the market,
there are intelligent and conservative people
here who are firm in the opinion that the
panic in Wall street would have overtaken
| Chicago
at was fortunate thing for Chicago and
Chicago traders that when the panic began
in New York Alexander Mitchell was back
ing "Bill' Young in a great wheat deal, but
still more fortunate, infinitely more FORUM
ate, that Phil Armour was loaded up with
! cash product, and was determined to
| protect it with all his money and
| brains Alexander Mitchell was, as
| everybody knows, scared out of wheat by
the terrible catastrophes which followed one
after the other at Gotham; but the worst was
inst keiore.he ordered Young to sell, and the
