GORHAM AGAINST BLAINE.

The Washington correspondent of a
New York journal says: "Half way be-
tween the last National Convention of
the Republican party and the next, that
very keen politician and vigorous writer,
Hon. George C. Gorham of California,
opens new Stalwart war upon James
6. Blaine. Gorham brings against Blaine
. charge which has never before been put
so broadly-namely that he has been a
traitor within the ranks since 1872, and
contributing more than any other man in
the party to the break down of the re-
construction policy of the Republican
party, and intriguing constantly for the
support of Southern Democrats in his
own ambition to be elected President.
Is this true? Certainly, from 1871 to
1875, Blaine did great deal to check
the efforts of certain Republican leaders
to fasten odious and oppressive legisla.
t;on upon Southern citizens during the
evil days of the Carpet baggers.
Does that constitute treason to the
Republican party? Do many Republi-
cans regret now that the iron hand of
Federal interference is no longer upon
the throat of the South? Blaine rem.
dered considerable assistance 20 the over
throw of Mahonism in Virginia, and in
restoring the control of the State to the
debt payers. Is that a black mark
against Blaine? 1t is true, as Gorham
affirms, that Blaine has been far less con-
spicuous than certain other Republican
leaders as an obstacle to the permanent
reconciliation of the North and South.
These things may all have been services
to the Democratic party, as Gorham
alleges, but were they not also services
to the Republican party, and to the
country without regard to party p

LIEUTENANT GREELY'S BOOK.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. Jan. 9-Lieutenant Greelys book,
containing the narrative OF his arctic exploration,
is TO be issued early next month, in two large
volumes which, in somo respects, will be the
most complete ever published upon an expedition
to the far North Those who expect to find
in the work any new revelations as to the alleged
cannibalism among the survivors will be disap-
pointed, that matter being dismissed rather
briefly. hear. But the story will contain de-
tails of suffering. endurance and heroism which
cannot fail to make it intensely interesting. The
illustrations, also, attain the highest possible de-
gree of accuracy. some of them being elaborated
from the original sketches by Lieutenant Lock
wood. The drawings made from these sketches
have been submitted to the survivors, and cor
rected again and again. according to their
suggestions, and by the aid of topo-
graphical diagrams made at the time
of the expedition. The result is that all con-
cerned are satisfied with their correctness One

schooner and All Hands Lost.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-The loss of the
schooner Mary G. Farr, with every soul on
board. is perhaps the saddest disaster of the
gale. The Inflated vessel was driven ashore
and caught fire, but not one of those on board
escaped to tell the story. A dispatch from
Spring Lake. N. j., says that late on Friday
night bright light was seen off the life-saving
station. The high wind and driving snow made
life-saving almost impossible. Twice the boom
OF the signal-gun rang across the water, and the
saving-rope was sent toward the vessel but IL
vain. The crew of the burned vessel launched
boat, bat in moment it went to pieces, and all
were drowned. Later the vessel drifted
ashore. She is total wreck.

SAVED BY HER HUSBAND.
Mr.. Pruin Saves the Life of His Wife Aftcs
Two Physicians Pronounce Her Dead.

CHICAGO. Jan. give weeks ago the wife OF
Chas. d. Pruin gave birth to child, which was
followed by an attack of puerperal mania. They
were living at the suburb of Oak Park. AS his
wife grew worse rapidly, Mr.. Pruin consulted q
city physician, who, after seeing the patient.
recommended the use of anasthetics to quiet her
nerves. The doctor here alluded to did not
handle the case. bat an Oak Park physician wss
called in, and he also adopted the same course
of treatment, administering strong doses
of morphine. The lady was found to be rapidly
sinking until, one Sunday night, she fell back
on the pillows lifeless Her breathing had ceased
and the pulse was gone. The attending physi
clan, who was by her side. made the usual ex-
animation and distinctly pronounced her dead.
The husband was frantic, and rushing to the
bedside Of hi~ wife put his ear to her heart. He
declared he thought he could detect faint throb.
The physician again assured him that life was
extinct but in order to satisfy Dir. Pruin he
called in another doctor of the village. He,
too. made an examination and confirmed the
report of the first physician. Still the
husband would not be convinced. He placed
his hand upon his wife's chest, and by
some method tried to produce an artificial res
SEPARATION. having made special study OF the use
of an8stheties in connection with his profession.
He proceeded to work the arms back and forth,
pressing his hand on the chest, thus producing
an artificial movement The two doctors who
stood by not only endeavored to dsuade him from
continuing the effort but demonstrated with
him for committing what they deemed profan-
alton of the dead. He continued his efforts, and
after a lapse of some minutes, the patient began
slowly to revive. She has steadily improved,
and is now able to move around. The doctors
confess that she would certainly have died but
for these extraordinary efforts.

Good Effect Produced in Spain by the Man
ifesto of the Catholic Bishops.
MADRID. JAM 9-There is greatly improved
tone in Spanish politics since the issue of the
manifesto Of the Catholic bishops. The divorce
of religion from politics at this juncture of
affairs is recognized as being in the interest OF
public order. The opportunity heretofore afford
ed to appeal to popular religious preiudices
is now removed from political conspirators
The manifesto was at first regarded as direct
blow at Don Carlos, but better understanding
of its declarations removes this impression. 1t
is now believed to be simply following out of
the policy which Leo XIII seems to be earnestly
bent upon establishing. not only in Spain. but in
plete withdrawal of the church as such from polit-
zeal craftsmanship
