General Logan might have taken
part in the Maine campaign if he had
been an enthusiastic Blaine man, but the
fact is that John A. is a Logan man

- Mr.. Blaine will insist on having
his own way, we presume, and so long
as the Republican party is in a moral
condition to accept him it will make
no particular difference who is its can

The new Democratic campaign

Enquirer.
1t has leaked out that Mr.. Blaine
is very angry with Senator Frye on ac-
count of the sharp thrust the latter
gave him while playing with the edged
tools of rhetoric. The Plumed Knight
has been unable to conceal his chagrin
over his reckless language of his vola-
tile lieutenant, who has damaged him
far more than did the comparatively
harmless DR.. Burchard. There has
been some very candid correspondence
on the subject between the two men,
and the Senator has resorted to the de-
fence which his chief fell back upon in
his Portland speech early in the sum-
mer-that he was unsupported. In SEN
ator Frye's case the excuse is palpably
false. The point was not only the most
prominent in his speech here, but ii
was repeated in the same language in
two subsequent speeches.-M Y Sun.
The enfranchisement of slaves
was originally approved by certain
partisan leaders as a political measure.
Those men were stupid enough to
overlook the fact that an early result
OF their proteges' newborn citizenhood
ould be the development of their in
tellectual freedom. With that improve
ment came the capacity to think and
act, which effects realization of the
truth that the best safeguard to human
liberty is independence of thought and
action within the law The chief ben
eft to be derived from the privilege oi
the ballot is the pow er it imparts to the
elector to have free voice in the Sc.
lection of leaders. If voter were tc

litical serf, a tool in the hands of de.
signing men. And the very fact that

position of independence is what

DISCUSSING wages, In one of his lee
lures before the students Of Harvard Uni
versity, Prof. Thompson gives many facts
of curious interest.
In 1893 the schuylkiII and Susquehsn-
ma Canal Company advertised for work
men, Offering S. month for the winter
months and So for summer, with board
and lodging. The next year there was
debate In the House of Representa-
tiVes which brought out the fact that
soldiers got but So a month, A YER
mont member, discussing the proposal
to raise 1t to "a, said that in his State
men were hired for 81 month, with
board and clothing. Mr.. WadswOrth, Of
Pennsylvania, said: "In the States
north Of Pennsylvania the wages Of the
common lsbOrer are not, upon the
whole, superior Of those Of the common
soldier"
In 1897 q Rhode Island farmer hired a
good farm hand at SO a month, and S. a
month was paid to those who got en-
plOyment for the eight busy months of
The farmers year. A boy could be had
at that time in Connecticut at 81 per
month through those months, and he
earned 1t by working from daybreak un-
til or 8 o'clock at night. He could buy
a coarse cotton shirt with the earnings
OF three such months. The farmers
could pay no better, for the price they
got for produce was wretched. Butter
sold for eight cents pound. and when
1t II SO suddenly to ten cents several
farmers wives and daughters went out
of their minds with the excitement.
Women picked the wool off the bushes
and brlars, where the sheep had left 1t,
and spun and knit II into mittens to
earn $1ayaar by this toilsome business.
They hired out as help for 25 cents a
mouth and their board. By days hard
work at the spinning wheel woman
and girl together could earn IL cents.
As late as 1921 the best farm hands
cOuli be had for % cents day, or twice
as much in moving time.

A LIVELY debate In the House of Com
mons took place when Parnell's Land
bill came up for Its second reading.
Mr.. Psrnell, In moving the reading,
made long and able speech. He said
1t was useless to urge the lateness Of
the session as an excuse for neglecting
Ireland's dlre needs. That the settle
ment of the relations between landlords
and tenants In Ireland was Of para
mount Importance at the present time.
He then explained the provisions Of the
bill and argued In favor Of them. True
to his promise, Mr.. Gladstone was on
hand to lend his counsel and his elo
quence In behalf Of the bill. AT the
conclusion Of Mr.. ParnelPs speech, Mr..
Gibson spoke In behalf Of the govern
ment, after which Mr.. Gladstone arose,
and his rising was greeted with tre-
mend0us cheering. He said, In sub.
stance, there was no question hut
that the Irish tenants were unable
to pay full rent, that Parliament had
already recognized the possibility Of
drawing distinction between those

who are able and those who are merely
disinclined to pay, that only an insig-
nificant number of tenants could obtain
relief through the operation of the
Ashbourne Act, and that it would be
mOnstrous injustice on the part of Par
Lament to allow the law to be put In
motion under which the penalties Of
eviction might at any time be inflicted
upon large body Of men. Therefore
he was. he declared, in favor of Mr..
ParnelPs bill. He said that II he had
had the framing of the bill, he would
have framed 1t differently. The bill,
however, could be altered In committee.
Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Randolph
Churchill had little skirmish during
the debate, which seemed to add greatly
to the excitement of the occasion.
Lord Randolph was very fiery and sg-
gresslVe, but he did not succeed In
rufling in the least the temper Of the
ex-Premler. Nor did he Out.do the
the grand old statesman In the way Of
brilliant repartee. The debate was ad-
journed on motion Of Mr.. John Morley.

The Msssillon American, Republican,
pays this handsome tribute to John Nc.
Bride. the Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State:
"Mr. Mcbride is an honest, honorable
gentleman, no stain attaches to his
name, and he stands highest where he
ia best known. He is a poor man, be-
cause he has been scrupulOusly honest
In public life. He is one of the most
DOpuIar men that ever went out from
Stark county, and his name will
strengthen the ticket of his party, We
congratulate the Democratic party In
Its choice Of q leader, and believe the
vote from Mr.. Brides home will testify
the wisdom Of his nomination"

PROHIBITION does not appear to be q
cure-all for the ills and temptations Of
humanity down In Maine. Neal DoW's
son-in- law Of Portland, VIM. E. Gould,
has robbed the bank of which he was
cashier of $4,000. A special says: "He
has always been looked upon as a model
man. His piety was almost ostenta-
tiOus. He has been In the habit Of
preaching In small churches In the vi
cinity of Portland to supply vacancies
OF regular pastors, and his sermons to
young men on moral rectitude and the
advantages of strictly honest business
principles have won him not a little
admiration"

A True Parallel.

The Republican party is catching it
from all Sides 1t is hard to say any
thing sensible nowadays without hit
ting that organization back-handed
lick in some part of its anatomy. Mons.
Henri Rochefort, IN discussing "Re-
publicanism in France" gives it a left
handler square on the nose. He says:
political parties have at least one
trait in common with dramatic writers
that is their extreme repugnance to
recognize that almost always their de-
feats should be laid to their own faults
1t is extremely rare, indeed, for an
author to explain his want of success
otherwise than as due to the incapa-
bility of the actors, or to the rain
or snow, or to excessive heat,
or to some other climatic con-
dition apt to exert an unfavor-
able influence on the public. Un-
doubtedly it would be much simpler to
admit that the piece was Kissed solely
because it was poor; but that is the
last explanation of which the un-
fortunate playwright will dream. In
the same way parties, when they be-
hold public opinion abandoning them,
never look upon this general detection
as a direct consequence of their own
detestable policy; on the contrary,
they exert all their ingenuity to dis
cover remote causes, of a machiavelic
and most complicated nature, and
thus free themselves from the necessity
of admitting their own errors and al
low themselves to continue in them"
This is as true in America as it is in
France. 1t is strikingly true of the
Republican party now. 1t attributes
its losses to every cause but the true
one-namely, its own bad policies and
purposes. -DeS MoineS Leader.

The Republican papers charge that
John Mcbride is running for Secretary
Of State as the labor candidate and Is
using the Miners Union as political

which, in fact, they are trying to do.

on intOxiCatiOn being mitigation Of
the crime-0f murder. "This Is no ex-
cuse for crime," the Court says, "and to
hold that commission of one wrongful
act is an excuse or mitigation Of still

reckless violators of the law to seek
revenge In taking the lives of those
