A GOOD illustration OF how fool and his
money may be soon parted is furnished by
the career of young Englishman named
Moon, whose father toiled early and late to
furnish means for making the sons innate
foolishness moro conspicuous. The young
man had unlimited means and might have
gained distinction. But he spent royalty and
married an actress who was able to assist
him in his spendthrift career. For her he
maintained most expensive establishment.
A stud of fifteen horses and ponies was
attended by staff of fifteen men in the most
luxurious stable ever built. Each horse had
three expensive sets of harness, and there
were fourteen carriages sofvarious descriptions
to which they could be attached. Within
the mansion everything was of the most
magnificent description that money could
procure-furniture, plate, pictures-all of the
most luxurious kind. But II IL long lane
that has no turning, and so young Moon found.
A few days ago his wife had to return to the
stage and his property went under the
hammer. Perhaps this particular Moon will
not be so full of spirits in the future.

At this anniversary season, when TO re-
call the events of four years ago Is to sug-
gest comparison of the Garfield admins
tration with that of Arthur, or more
forcibly contrast with the Cleveland
administration, which is now just as far
along az Garfield's was when an assassin's
bullet ended tit cannot and 1t ought not
he forgotten that had the Blaine element
in our politics been potential for full four
years, the country as well as party would
have been subjected to strain which
might have been equally fatal. What was
escaped in the succession of Arthur was
again averted in the election of Cleveland.
The point upon which the country is to be
even more congratulated is that this is SC
| universally recognized. Mr.. Blaine has
been found out. There are signs that even
in his own party and on the part of his late
allies, his responsibility for the disreputt
into which his party has fallen and for thu
disaster which has fallen upon it is clearl,
recognized. 1t is noted that at the compli
mentary dinner to Senator Logan in Bos
ton the other day there was studiou
omission Of all the speakers to allude t.
Mr.. Blaine. His decadence will come to b
more and more notable during the mex
three years. His day is past.
