Mr.. Blaine Homeward Bound.

Mr.. Blaine sailed from Liverpool yesterday
for America on the new steamer City of New
York, the largest and most magnificent steam
ship ahoat.
At 4 o'clock the tender America left the
pier-head with about two hundred of the $50
and his party stood aft. Mr.. Blaine wore a
brown derby hat, well down over his eyes, a
dark suit and carried heavy overcoat on
his arm. Mrs. Blaine was wrapped up In a
light gray shawl, Miss Dodge was in dark
blue, while Miss Margaret Blaine, in tailor
made jacket and dark suit, with a white
sailor hat, stood with Miss Hattie, who wore
hat.

That STORY FROM ONO about the awful
and imminent danger to which the
prosperous city of Findlay is subjected,
by reason of being situated only one
mile above veritable sheol (spelled in
the hottest old style), reads good deal
las though it had been written by some
busted oil speculator, in spirit of dire
revenge, who has undertaken to con-
vulse the real estate market by a big
bear movement. But if telephone con-
nection has really been established be-
tween Findlay and the 35OO-degree fur
nance below, Professor Weissenbauer
ought to be able to communicate with
some of the prodigious liars who have
gone before him as to when the catas
trophe is likely to take place.

RICHARD II. sYLvEsTER..... Editor
WASHINGTON, AUGUST ., 1888.

Mr.. BLAINE is ON THE briny deep, his
face is toward the setting sun, and re-
ception awaits him such as was never
before extended to an American citizen
returning homeward from foreign
shore. 1t is not worth our while TO un-
dertake any analysis of the motives that
inspire this welcome, with view to
ascertaining the real measure of its
spontaneity, for it is well enough I'M
derstood that the main object is to
"whoop up the boys" for the coming
campaign. AT the same time IL cannot
be denied that Mr.. Blaine possesses a
hold on the rank and file of his party
surprising that of Mr.. Clay on the old
Wings, and many of his friends who 60
down the bay to escort the wanderer to
his native shore will do so because of
their personal as well as political ad-
miration for the man.
The scheme, regarded from partisan
standpoint, is shrewd one. Mr.. Blaine
intends TO enter into the contest with
all the energy he possesses and all the
ardor of an ambitious and expectant
nature. He will prove strong and IN
huential factor of the fight, especially
in doubtful districts, where there is any
wavering in the lines of protection, and
in the event of Harrison's election any
honor that he may desire at the hands
of the new administration will be for
him to signify.

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE will
make a serious mistake II II shall conduct its
campaign upon the plan mentioned by Speaker
Carlislo-of considering the canvass to he In "a
formative condition" awaiting the action of the
Republicans in the Senate.-[New York World.
The World is right about it. If the
issues of the canvass are not clearly de-
fined already they never will be, and
the game of the Senate to keep them in

worth the playing.

Four YEARS AGO THE coming Novem-
Der there was talk in New York of
mobbing Jay Gould because of his al
legged manipulation of the telegraphic
returns in the interest of Mr.. Blaine.
Next fall, they say, he will manipulate
them in the interest of Mr.. Cleveland.
This is all stuff, of course. Mr. Gould
had no more to do with the election re-
turns of 1884 than any other stock
holder in the Western Union Telegraph
Company. If the returns we're manipu-
lated at all it was done before they got
on to the wires. Once transmitted, we
may rest assured they were safe enough
in the hands of DIR. Norvin Green, the
Democratic president of the Western
Union; and they will continue to be
safe. Whatever ticket Mr.. Gould votes
he will vote it with as little ostentation
as though he We're the poorest citizen in
the land. He will be neither the Judge
nor clerk of an election precinct, nor a
co-conspirator with the ballot-box

Mn. PATRICK EAGAN, ex-President of
the Irish National League of America,
in an interview at Indianapolis yester-
day on the subject of Parnell and Joseph
Chamberlain, said: chamberlain has
been the worst traitor England ever had
that during the whole time Chamberlain
was a member of the British Cabinet he
knew that Chamberlain was communi-
eating Cabinetsecretsto to the Irish party"

GIVE THE BOYS TRADES. Only 80 of the $50

We have no information as to how
many of the above convicts might have

many young men go to the dogs for the
want of some useful manual avocation

are aware that restrictions are imposed
with a view Of preventing an over

pursuits? There is always a super
abundance of lawyers and doctors and

with neither the knowledge or dis
position to do anything, is always re-
cruited up to the full No policy, how

In THE MATTER of tariff legislation in
the Senate, Mr.. Allison has demon
strated ability and influence and the
courage of his conservatism. Recogniz-
ing what he conceived to be plain
duty of the Senate, to at least make
some effort toward reduction of the
surplus, and the plain neglect of duty
that would be involved in evading a
question which undoubtedly concerns
and interests a great majority of the
people, he insisted upon and carried his
plan OF campaign in the Republican
caucus Whatever comes of it, the
action agreed upon is good sense and
good politics.
