Europe so as to be ready to put the real
Tigor morris into Washington society.
Or if continental travel were not desirable,
in the privacy of their Maine home, Mrs.
Blaine could preserve that perfect social in
sulation she affects-and her crushed yet
buoyant husband could find the quiet he
needs for his literary work, diversified by an
occasional trip to Washington to consult
documents, authorities, etc.
FL Their quietus for, aLu from the Banes
would be too sensible course to expect
from them. and too much of relief for the
public TO expect with the knowledge of the
aforementioned characteristic lack. Hence
we find them established in the national
capital with the openly proclaimed intention
Of making it as unpleasant socially, as pos
sible, for the incoming administration. Mrs.
Blaine means business, and to keep her hand
in, she begins hostilities in advance by snub-
bling the debonair Arthur in a way that makes
Washington hum. II is small business, and
it is very unwise business, because it
can hurt no one save the
family predestined for such foolish
ness. Talleyrand compares society to keen
knife which if taken by the handle carved
ones purposes successfully, but grasped by
the blade was disastrous. The country Is
more than ever satisfied to have escaped the
administration of the Blaine family. The
elements which made it impossible are not
sorry that there is daily confederation of the
wisdom of their opposition. The most elo-
quent supporters of Blaine in the recent past
have unpleasant misgiyings now that socially
they would have been shorn of their full re-
ward, and hence they are not quite so sorry
as they would have been, when 5lindly zeal
Gus and unaware of Mrs. Blaine's awfully
select exorcism. The Galena Press con-
denses the first claim for recognition as fol-
lows:
1t is announced that the Blaine family, when
established in Washington, will give receptions
intended to be quite select and exclusive. 1t is
not stated what social qualifications will be re-
CURED, but we imagine that nothing short of two
private marriages between the same parties will
open the doors OF that aristocratic establish
ment.
For the rest politicians and public men
may adjust the wires to their own satisfac-
ton, but the women can undo more than
their combined efforts can match.
All history shows this.
American political life is not without sig
nal examples Of the good and evil infu-
ence of women.
Until very recently, however, no one was
prepared TO believe that the Ameri IAN wo-
man seasoned by political yicissitudes could
play the fool.
But she can.

The NV Jersey Potters.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. Operative pot
tiers talked all day Of the latest proposition
by the manufacturers, namely, to accept
English wages plus the protective tariff of SIS
per cent. The unanimous sentiment was
against the proposition, unless manufac :.
turers would add to the tariff, consul fees,
brokerage, custom house dues, insurance,
etc, which English importers have to pay in
addition to the tariff. Operatives demand
the appointment Of board Of arbitration to
investigate whether the reduction was neces-
sary to the welfare Of the manufacturers.
Should the appointment of board be not
agreed TO by the manufacturers within the
next four days the operatives will declare
lockout and begin drawing upon the funds
of the Knights of Labor.

says in every par; Of the country there is
now more or less talk Of commercial dcpres-

kinds Of remedies are suggested. Some are
advising protection, others fair trade, and
others less production. No cue seems able
to define the exact use 81 the sisgnaton,

tuuity. There is doubtless some truth in
the assumption Of the fair trade people that
