The Blaine-Edmunds Incident.


The true story Of the meeting between Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Edmunds proves that even a

candidate lose his head. all within so short a time

ceremonies at the church were over, and as they
here appear they not likely to be denied by

Michael, very deliberately, and weighing every

that company has been formed in London and
Antwerp for the manufacture of saccharine, a
newly discovered substitute for sugar 1t is a
chemical product of coal tar, is far sweeter than
sugar, and though it cannot yet be manufactured
as successfully as sugar, yet its great sweetness
makes it possible, by mixing small ouanti-
ties of saccharine with larger quantities of
cheap glucose, to produce compound sweeter
and cheaper than sugar. The new product is
expected to disastrousy affect the sugar indus
try. Saccharine was discovered accidentally,
seven years ago, by DR.. G. Fahlbere, chemist
of New York. but it is only lately that practical
methods of manufacturing it were devised.

We freely confess our ignorence
of politics and political measures
and in reading the arguments pro
and con by the leading political pa-
pers of the State on the subject Of
the Blair educational bill. we some
times become little confused, but
when we come to think OF the fact
that the bill passed the Senate by Il
big majority and would, ifpcrmitted
to reach that body, pass the House
by like majority, we are unable to
see how any fraction of a party can
consistently oppose the measur.
SO far as our knowledge extends We
have never known any politician to
claim that the wish Of minority
should over-rule the wish Of ma Or
ity, then if majority in the two
branches OF Congress favor the
passage of the bill we fail to see how
it can be undemocratic or unrepuh-
lican. The politician, who, by trick
cry, defeats the will of the majority
Of the American people, should be
promptly retired from the legislative
bodies Of the land.

White House Marriages.

Mr. Cleveland was the ninth man
but the first president to be married
at the White House.
The first wedding that took place
in the White House was in Prcs'-
dent Madison's time, when Miss
Todd, relative Of Mrs. Madison,
was the bride, and John G.. jackson,
of Virgins, who was then member
of Congress, WAS the groom. The
first East Room wedding was that Of
Miss Elizabeth Tyler, whose father
was then President, and William
Waller, of Williamsburg, Va. Miss
Tyler was just 10, when married.
President Adams son, John Quincy,
Jr., and Miss Johnson, his cousin,
were married in the White House,
in 1926, in President Adams admin
istrstion. When Gen. Jackson was
President there were Two weddings
in the White House. The first was
his niece, Miss Easten, and Mr.. Polk
of Tennessee, who was also relative
Of President Jackson. The other
was that of Miss Lewis, of Nashville,
and Mr.. Paqucol, who was all ward

East Room, and the birdie was just
turned II. President Iyler's second
wife Was the only mistress Of the
White House who went there as a
bride. President Tyler and Miss
Gardner were married in New York
but went to Washington and held
their Wedding reception in the
White House. Probably the we'd
ding of Nellie Grant and Algernon
oartoris, ON May 81, 1874, was the
most brilliant taking place in the
White House. The East Room was
the scene of the occasion. There
we're six bridesmaids and distll.-
guishcd company. Later on and in
President Hayes administration, hin
niece, Miss Emily Platt and Gen.
Russell Hastings were married.
The wedding took place IN the Blue
Psrlor.

able, being the only President who
was married in the White House.
was the wedding of Miss Frances
Folsom, of New York, and President
Cleveland, which took place We'd
nesday evening, June 2, 1886, in the
presence of few relatives and the
cabinet officers and their wives
The Blue Room, which was decora-

scene Of the happy occasion. The
wedding WAS very quiet, without
pomp or display of any kind. The
bride is just % while the groom is
