THE BLAINE-EDMU EPI-
SODE.

Mr.. Blaine has been the subject Of
an immense deal of unfavorable criti-
cism at the hands of his partlzan enc
mics, because he refused the extended
hand of Senator Edmunds at the resi-
dence of the late Ex-Presdent Arthur.
When all the facts of the case are con-
sidered we believe Mr.. Blaine was right,
and that he neither violated any pro
priety of the occasion, nor any rule of
etiquette recognized among gentlemen,
by declining to shake hands with po-
litical opponent, who but few hours
before had sanctioned the publication
of letter, which by implication and
inuendo reflected upon his personal
honesty The entire responsibility of
that disagreeabe episode in our opin-
ion, rests upon Mr.McMichael. Acting
as the authorized master of ceremonies
on that occasion, it was his plain duty
to have consulted both gentlemen be-
fore presenting them to each other. 1t
was an lily considered act of introduce
ton, which he had no right to make.
Mr.. Edmunds and his frien | were Sit
ting alone in reception room of Ex
President Arthur's house, not on the
day of his funeral as has been errone-
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1886-12-04

OF the many tributes paid to the
memory of the late Ex- President Ar
thur, the following in our judgment is
one of the most noticeable. "Few per-
sons who had the pleasure of meeting
him in the drawing-room but carried
away with them a sense of his manli-
ness and gentleness and no American
statesman ever exemplihed SO strikingly
the truth of the doctrine that manners
are not idle, but the fruit of royal ma
ture and of noble mind"
Mr.. Arthur's last words, spoken in
scarcely audible tones and addressed
to no one in particular, were as simply
beautiful as his life had been. They
were uttered while the dying man S
eyes were closed and while he still suf-
fered severe physical pain. Good
night" he said, and was quiet for a
moment, and then good night" in still
l1wer tones. When the watchers looked
again he had fallen asleep.

MEssRs. Cleveland, Blaine and Butler
were all under one roof, at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, the day of General Ar
thurs funeral. Not one of them signed
his name to the hotel register. Mr..
Cleveland only used his roon:s to dress
and eat in, and then went calling, and
while he was out of doors he was
guarded by detectives, at least one of
whom vas detailed to guard Mr.. Blaine
on his n emorable journey through New
York state two years ago. Mr.. Blaine
stayed indoors ard received host of
callers during the afternoon and night,
after the funeral. What General Butler
did nobody knew and nobody asked.

EX-UNrrED States Senator Roscoe
Conkling has not forgotten the peculiar
metaphors Of his Senate days. The
latest remark credited to him refers to
his efforts to impeach the testimony OF
a red-nosed witness who, Mr.. Conkling
thought, had lied while in the witness
chair. In addressing the jury MIR.
Conkling spoke of him thus: Gen
tIemen, | think | can see that witness

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ECONOMY

There is great difficulty in filling the
treasures Of a nuc Der of States, but
the federal treasury is flooded with
money. Over $1,000, 900 more has
been received thus far this month than
the corresponding period of last year.
Inc receipts for the quarter ended Sep
tembcr 80 exceeded very largely those
of the like period last year. The sur
plus this year promises to be decidedly
larger than it was last year, when it was
$4,000, ooo.-Ef.
When plain every day people read
about this enormous surplus of cash the
Government is boarding up In its treas
ury vaults, it seems like common sense
question to ask, why any one Depart
ment Of the Government should pursue
a cheese-p pairing style of policy in get
ting it's work done. We can very readily
see why the Secretary of the Navy for

THAT splendid organization, the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union,
has been quietly at work in Pennsyl-
vania outside The sphere of party poll
ties, and the grand result is that there
are nearly a thousand fewer saloons
than .here would have been if they had
not bestirred themselves in every
county but two, and presented enor-
nous petitions to the licensing Courts
against the increase of licensed houses.
