eral health has never been better
t All statements to the contrary ar
either idle rumors or maliciou

entirely unworthy OF belief. Sena
tor Hale, of Maine, has just receiv
ed a letter, dated Naples, Marcl
27th., from his brother who is nov
travelling abroad, in which is thu
following paragraph:
al have passed the last four o
five days with the Blaines and have
enjoyed it very much in this fin'
country OF Southern Italy, il

Blaines at Sovento, where they vii
stay some time longer. think. Mr.
Blaine is looking finely and is in
the best of spirits"
! Senator Morrill,, who is by the
way the senior member of the Sen
ate, having served continually in
that body for nearly thirty-two
years, made strong speech We'd
nesday, on the Presidents message.
He began by contrasting the last
annual message Of President Wash
ington with the last OF President
Cleveland--the former giving en-
enlargement 10 manufacturers, and
the latter being unfriendly to, and
denunciatory Of manufacturers.
He said:
"a tariff for revenue only (the
banner imposed by Kentucky on
the Democratic parity was a syno-
nym for free trade. Henry George,
a free trade propagandist, had
characterized the message and the
new Democratic tariff bill as a
deadly blow at the ugly fetch Of
protection"
He then proceeded to discuss the
Presidents recommendation for free
wool. showing the prodisious loss
to the farmers OF the country that
such q law would bring.
He said:
"Deducting the protective duty,
imposed for the benefit of AmeTi-
wool, of 10 cents a pound, the value
of Texas wool in New York and
Boston would suddenly drop or 6
cents pound. Neither Texas nor
any other States would continue to
raise wool II ihat price, and wool
growing even in the Lone Star
State, with an area greater than
that OF Germany, France, Spain or
Italy, would only he known as ore
of the lost arts"
He also discussed the probable
future OF the thousands Of work
ing people who would be discharg-
ed, il the new tariff bill should be-
come law. The speech was list
ened to with marked attention by
Senators OF both parties.
This week has brought out two
new candidates for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency, or
perhaps it would Ue more proper to
say that two more gentlemen had
openly avowed their candidacy.
The gentlemen referred to are,
Senator Stanford OF California, WHO
has allowed his name to go be-
fore the Chicago convention and
and hasasked the support OF the Cali |
fornia delegation, and Ex-Governor |
Alger, OF Michigan, who has been |
on the subject as fol- |
lows:
81 abhor personal methods and
shall not 60 about from State to
State trying 10 influence this ward
and that district to send a delegate
TO the convention for me. Such !
means l consider disreputable. The
office Of President is a high one,
and l believe should Gene to
man that does not require the loss
Of his dignity and responsibility"
Senator Stewart is also considered
dark horse.
The Dependent Pension bill
which recently passed the Senate,
will scarcely be recognizable after
