BLAINE As BOSS.

Blaine, according 10 the correspondents,
continues 10 make much of a stir in Wash
ington. He has not yet settled down to the
work of completing his history. His house
appears to be the headquarters of those OF
the Republican leaders who admire him and
who think he will be the nominee of the
party in 1888.
Blaine, it seems, regards himself as the
head OF the Republican party, and busies
himself in trying to direct Republican poll
tics, not only at Washington, but in the
States, when there is anything doing in a
political way. His hand, it is claimed, was
seen in the New York Senatorial fight, and
in political squabbles that are going on in
other States. He is determined to punish
those who did not give him an enthusiastic
support during the late campaign.
If Blaine pursues the plan that he appears
to have adopted of riding roughshod over
those who do not bow down and worship
him, as it were, he will have much larger
faction of his party against him, If he should
happen to be the Presidential candidate of
the party in 1888, than he had in 1884
There does not appear to be any doubt
that he is planning for the nomination again
A good many of the Senators of his party
dislike him, and would be glad to see him
removed from politics, but they frankly ad-
nit that there does not appear to be any one
at present who is likely to be able to draw
Blaine's strength away from him.

GRANTS SHILOH ARTICLE

II is only since our last issue that we had
an opportunity of reading Gen. Grants ar.
ticie on "I'he Battle of Shiloh" in this
months Century. 1t has and will continue
TO provoke much controversy. Already
several articles have appeared, in which the
correctness of Gen. Grants statement is
questioned. These articles were written by
those who took part in the battle on the
Federal side
The aim Of Grant, in his article, seems &c
lie 10 make it appear that he was not sur
prised at Shiloh. He does not say that he
was not, but the drift of his article is in thai
direction.
OF course it was hardly TO be expected
thai he would make admissions that would
show poor generalship, but it is pretty Ger.
tain that ii he were called on to produce
convincing testimony that he was not sur.
prised, and that his army was fully pre-.
pared for the attack, he would be forced to
admit that he could not do 1t.
If the Federal army was awaiting an at
tack there are thousands of persons who
knew il, because there would have been
preparations indicating that fact. None OF
the thousands, however, come forward to
sustain Gen. Grants statements.
There is not much doubt that the Federal
army was broken all to pieces on the irst
day of the fight, and that if Buell. and Wal.
lace had not come to Gen. Grants aid il
would have been captured. Gen. Grant
says that Notwithstanding the fact that he
was driven back and his lines broken on
the first day, he felt entirely confident of
victory ON the second day. HIS confidence,
doubtless, was not in his broken and scat.
tered columns, but on the fresh troops of
Buell. and Wallace. Gen. McCook has al
ready announced bis purpose Ia reply to
that part of Gen. Grants article that applies
10 himself. Gen. Wallace, doubtless, will
have something to say.
good deal about the battle of Shiloh
may be expected in the next few weeks. 1t
is doubtful, however, IL much that will be
said will be new, or If anything will be
said that will tend to change the popular
Impression about the battle.

PENSION SCHEMES.

1t is strange that there are not men in
Congress bold enough to take firm stand
against the great pension schemes which
come up at every session. If the money
voted for pensions all went into the pockets
of those entitled under the law to it, there
would not be SO much occasion for com
plant. Those who are best acquainted with
pension matters declare that there is no es-
timating the amounts of which we are an
nually robbed by the boldest and most in
genious sort of frauds
1t is worthy of notice that laws granting
pensions arc never repealed. There is never
a movement in favor of reducing pension
charges The movement is always in the
direction Of increasing them. The present
bill before Congress calls for more than $685.
100000 year.
Who are these men who are always pre-
senting bills and petitions to Congress for
additional pension legislation2 They are
pension agents, who are aiming not to help
the soldiers, but to open new avenues to fill
their own pockets. Some of these agents are
shrewd lawyers, who are able TO manufac-
ture plausible pretext upon which to base
new bills.
There is no reason TO hope, however, thai
the pension charges will cease to grow until
all who took part in the civil war on the
Union side and good part OF their rela
tives have been provided with pensions
These pension sharks will never give up the
rich field they are working as long as it IL
profitable.
AS we have said, it seems strange tha
Congress does not pluck up enough cour.
age to refuse to countenance any more pen
sion schemes. The truth is, however, that {
good many Congressman are rather anxious
to be known as champions of pension meas
ures because they think that reputation o.
that kind will strengthen them with the ex
soldier element Their purpose is not t.
save the public money, but advance theil
political fortunes
Notwithstanding the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars that have been paid out in thu
North for pensions, it is doubtful if the con
.dition OF the x.Union soldiers generally il
any better than that Of the ex-Confederate
soldiers, and it must not be forgotten thai
beside pensions, the ex- Union soldiers, as .
rule, had relatives in good financial circum
stances to help them when they returned tc
civil life.

Governor HoadIv. of ohio was Of the list

Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, was of the list
of speakers at the Democratic banquet at the
Monongahela House, Pittsburg, on Thurs
day night of last week. He responded to the
sentiment, "The Democracy of the Future"
and said: "Let US not be unduly concerned
with the question who are TO be Mr.. Cleve.
lands advisers; who shall be indicted into
office under him and them. The vital ques.
ton is of counsel, not counsellor. If the face
of the nation be fixedly set, and the step
resolutely taken toward Democratic future,
what matter even though personal hopes and
ambitious of many among us be disappoint-
ed2 We ask Of Mr.. Cleveland two things
only. First, that those offices which d.
rectly or indirectly affect the course of pub
lie events shall be filled with Democrats !;
and, secondly, that the administration of
| public affairs shall itself be Democratic In

management of public affairs the Demo-

a1HE RASCALS MUST co.,

I There was no more popular sentiment at
Chicago during the session of the Demo
cratic Convention than that "the rascals
must CO." This inspired honest men all
over the land, Democrats and Republicans,
to work for the election Of Grover Cleve-
land during the campaign. Thousands of
Republican office. holders contributed money
TO defeat his election, simply because they
believed that If Cleveland was elected they
would have to go. This was the leading
issue in the campaign, and the triumphant
election of Grover Cleveland was its en-
dorsement.
Now what do we hearp Since Mr.. Cleve-
land has given to the public his famous civil
service letter the Republicans claim to have
much greater respect for the President.elect,
and do not hesitate to assert that he will
so carry out the spirit Of his letter as to keep
all Republicans in Office. The Democrats
are told that the old policy that "to the vic
tors belong the spoils" had played out, and
all Republican office-holders have become
exceedingly vrtuous, and are wild in their
support of civil service reform since the sue
cess of the Democratic party.
Among some of the most clamorous for a
strict enforcement of the present civil service
rules are to be found those who have been
heretofore conspicuously suspected of all
kinds Of schemes to plumber the govern
ment All the influences around Washing
ton that have heretofore made the Repub-
lican party odious by corrupt practices, and
which have succeeded in planting their
pimps and hirelings in official position, are
now enthusiastic in their demand for a rigid
enforcement of the civil service laws.
We are satisfied they will be doomed to
disappointment. We have heard of no ex-
preston from President Cleveland that leads
US to believe but that "the rascals must 60"
This is expected of him by all of those who
elevated him to office, and he will fail to do
his duty if he does not, Immediately after
his Inauguration, set at work to the clean
ing out of the Augean stables of Repub.
lcan misrule.

In the Northern mind the impression is
strong that the South pays attention to little

ern exhibits, however, correct this i'm res
sion, and show that, prominent as these
products are in the South, there are other
sources OF wealth which promise in few
years TO bring the South much greater riches
than are Obtained from cotton and sugar.
II is interesting to observe that the extent
of the mineral wealth of the South is not
generally known or understood. Pennsyl.
vania cannot much longer maintain her
supremacy as producer OF iron and coal.
Not long ago the coal used in the Southern
cities was brought from the North. The
South now produces her own coal.
Her growth in manufacturing has been
marvellous. She has over million of spin.
dies now. The age OF iron ships has come,
and why should not the ship be built where
the cheapest iron can be obtained. The
visitor at the exposition who sees what
great and varied sources of wealth the
South has returns to his home with a very
different idea of the future of the South
than which he previously entertained.
1t must be remembered that this is the
frat time that the South has attempted a
complete exhibition Of her wealth. She was
hardly known at the Centennial, and made
Jbut partial exhibit at either Atlanta or
Louisville iairs-it is evident that a great
industrial revolution is going on through.
