THE BLAINE EsCAPADE.

There is sometimes a touch of romance to
be found in the first families of this coun-
try. 1t has not been long since the son of
Secretary BAYARD created sensation with
genuine old-fashiOned love case. He fell
in love with pretty chambermaid who was
doing service in her fathers house up in the
mountains of West Virginia, and despite
the opposition of his aristocratic family, the
young scion of royal race married the pie
bean maiden. Now it is the son of Mr..
BLAINE. of Maine, who has taken his
turn with startling variance in high life.
Young JIMMIE BLAINE is evidently the son
of his father, and evinceS fondness for SEN
sationaliSm, but he is careful not to mortify
the pride of his illustrious parent by marry
ing plebeian girl. Although he exhibited
a little waywardneSS in his matrimonial af-
fairs he still gave evidence of inheriting
the disposition of his father to confne his
affections to the families of the office
holders. This is BLAINE instinct. The
beautiful young lady of noble birth and
otice-holding ancestry who responded to
young JIMMlE'S woOings seems to have
touch of romance in her nature also. Her
family was kept in the dark, as well as the
BLAINE family, until the marriage had oc-
Cured.

knowIedging the receipt of your cablegram
of the 9th June, announcing the transmission

mentary fund.- and which came duly to hand.
For this very large remittance have now to

THEY MANT lin OFF.

The efforts of the GILMAN evening organ
70 convey the impression that his managers
have concluded MCGILL is unavailable and
are looking around for a substitute for him,
are amusing in their earnest perversion OF
the true state of the case. The actual fact
Is that Chevalier MCGILL, who is prepos-
se,sng. If too ambitious, young man, has OF
late been making serious inroadS into
Farmer MCGuL's political orchard, and
is in fair way to iaake OF
with the bulk of the fruit. This is not at
all according TO the GILMAN programme.
ana in consequence the somewhat garrulous
crrau desires the substitution of some one
less nimbIe-footed than the handsome
Cheyaler, whom the farmers cross dogs
couId oyertahe before he climbs over the
orchard fence of safety. The chances are.
however that both MCGILL and his back
ers understand the advantage OF the posi-
fiDn they have gained TOO well to retire i'll
accordance with suggestion from quar-
ter which can hardly free itself from the
suspicion OF prejudice. No. Farmer GIL
MAN and his organ will wait i'll vain for
their own mistakes in generalship to be
counterbalanced by the voluntary submls-
sion Of an opponent who has cleverly
beaten them at their own game. Human
nature, especially when it has to do with
politics, is not built that way.

THE Mun-SLINGERS.

The Bourbonistic Republican organs in
this state fail to keep pace with the prog
ress of political events. They have not
yet learned that the country has grown
away from the era when personal abuse
counted in politics. Beyond defling their
own columns with lot of slime that is dis
gushing to their own readers. the Republi-
can papers which have so early opened up
a personal utilization campaign against
the Democratic candidate for governor will
accomplish nothing in the way of defeating
his election. The fact that such a cam
paign has been inaugurated is evidence of
the poverty of arguments that the Republi-
can party has TO urge against the Demo
cratic ticket. 1t is a confession of the
strength and popularity of the Democratic
standard bearer. and SO far as the Demo
cratic party is concerned it can well afford
to have the Republicans conduct such
campaign as they have started out
with. Mayor AMES needs no vindica-
ton. The same mud-slinging campaign
was conducted against him in the last mu-
nicipal contest in Minneapolis. He was at
home there. and his neighbOrs knew h i'm
better than his political calumniatOrS The
issue of his personal character was settled
then and there His election to the high
and dignifed office of mayor of the great
city of Minneapolis by over 5000 majority
is the certificate of his vindication. If this
doesn't satisfy the silk stocking mud
singers who boss the Republican party
and who are chronic calumniators of every
body who will not bow the knee to the
golden calf, then Mayor AMEs will exhibit
them another certificate of vindcation on
the Ides of November in the shape of 25, 900
majority for the proud Office of governor of
Minnesota.

THE REPUBLICAN RACE.

MAN, who was in the lead until the half
mile post was passed, broke badly, and his
jockey doesn't seem to be able to get him
down to his work again. The talk of the
GILMAN organs about running in dark
horse is an exhibition of the weakness of
their candidates canvass. The man who
has confidence in his ability to win is not
apt to be looking around for compromls e

of the French colony of Gaboon thereupon
also dispatched gun boat to the spot, the
captain having instructions to claim the
NUM- country as French territory. The
two gun boats met. The Frenchmen
wanted to hoist the flag. but the Spaniards
announced that they would fight before

The New Hawaiian Loan.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Mr. H. r. Arm

eminent. in negotiating loan for that gov
eminent in London, passed through this
this city to-day on his way to New York.
He desired to make certain corrections in a
statement sent out from San Francisco re-
garding the loan. He says that the Ha-
waiian government has passed a bill author
izing loan of 1000, 900, which will be
placed IN the hands of a syndicate in Lon
don for issue to the public, but explains
that neither Barring Bros, nor the repreSen-
tatives of the late Sir Alexander Mathewson
have any connection with it, or probably
ever heard of the issue of the loan. The
only way in which their names could have
been connected with the proposed negotia-
ton was owing to their having negotiated
the latest Chinese loan. Mr.. Armstrong
SAYS the proceeds of the loan are to con-
struct wharves and water works in Homo
lulu and to connect the several islands with
cables The bonds are to run twenty years

CHINESE WOMEN.

Have Been Subjected to 1ndigni-
ties.
WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-The secretary
of state some time ago transmitted to the
treasury department complaint made by
the Chinese minister that certain Chinese
females who arrived in San Francisco on
the steamer San Pablo were on landing
searched all over their person by custom Of
ticers at the wharf in the presence OF many
spectators and that some of them, had to
take off their outer dress reluctantly, by
compulsory orders. After an examination
of the facts q reply was made to-day to the
secretary of state. saying that the females
were searched by male custom officers in
the temporary absence of female inspector;
that no personal search was made, but that
the females were compelled to remove from
their bodies certain new and un-
worn overcoats which they wore
in addition to their usual raimeht,
for the evident purpose of smuggling the
same into the United States; furthermore,
the report states that although it was plain
from external view that these females had
on their bodies large quantities of other
unnecessary clothing or other material be-
lieved to be Struggled goods, yet the sur
veyor did not order their persons searched
for the reason that there was no inSpectresS
to perform the duty.

ABOLISH ExroRrIoNATE FEES,

ABOLISH EXTORTIONATE FEES.
While the astounding corruption which
has been unearthed in New York is vet
fresh in the public mind "a very simple rem
edy for its prevention in the future should
not be overlooked While nothing save
officials of ironclad honesty can prevent the
dishonest collision with reference to public
contracts, very much can be done in dimin-
ishing the temptation which exists in New
York political circles to gain possession
Of the various local offices at any cost
If instead of the present exorbitant
fee system which makes various mu-
niciDal offices such gold mines for
their pOsSeSSorS, salaries commensurate
with the amount of work actually done
were paid, there would be less contention in
the local elections, more honesty infused
into the campaigning and stricter integrity
in the administration of the offices, to say
nothing of the load which would be lifted
from the already oYerla den backs of the
people. Until matters are thus put upon
more business-like basis there can be little
hope for purity in metropolitan politics.
While there are prizes of exceptional
value to be gained. there will
always be contestants more than enough.
and there will always be sufficient num-
Der of them utterly regardless of the means
necessary to attain their ends. But coming
nearer home, apropos of extortionate fees
which should there exist in this state an
office, that of oil inspector, which in fees
turns over yearly to its holder an income of
something like $4,000 year, when a
salary of $1,000 per annum would be more
than easonabIs>compensation for the work
performed. Economy, like charity, should
begin at home, and there could not be a
better time for making start.

LOOSE METHODS.

In his second biennial report, which has
lust been issued. Public Examiner Knox
calls attention to some very loose methods
which prevail in the management of the
state treasury, particularly with reference
to the sureties that are required OF banks
which have been designated as state deposi-
tories The law requires that when bank
has been selected as a depository it shall
give a personal bond to be approved by the
treasurer and the board of auditors, con-
sisting of the governor, secretary of state,
and attorney general in double the amount
to be deposited, with at least five sureties
who shall justify according to the provis-
ions of law for the justification OF sureties
on bonds in civil actions. The examiner
reports that he has found a number of ir-
reguIarities in respect to these bonds, and
he has also found several changes
in the financial status Of the bonds
men, seriously affecting their val
iditv. 1t appears that of nine bonds
examined, six of them were never presented
to more than one member Of the auditing
board. and two Of them to no single mem
Der of the board. He has called the atten-
ton of the state treasurer to the fact that
four of the board were radically defective
bv reason of the death or failure of sureties,
or for vital faults in their original con-
structiOn and execution. In addition to
these facts, he calls attention to the fact
that the law requires the state school book
contractor to execute bond in the penal
sum of S25. O0O. with at least two sufficient
sureties, but there is nothing in the eX-
aminerS report to show that the bond was
ever executed. or that it has been examined
From all of which it is made apparent that
there has been degree of lOoseness and
neglect in the management of the state
finances wholly incompatible with the pub
lie interest. If there have been no losses,
it has been due more to good luck
than to the capable supervision of
the treasury department. 1t is about time
that the people of Minnesota were demand
ing a change in the administration of the
state government. 1t will be impossible to
get a satisfactory balancing of the books
until the old bOOkkeeperS are elected and
the state passes into the hands of another
party.
