Mr.. Blaine Not a Candidate.

Mr.. Is. +. Jones. chairman of the
national Republican committee, has
received letter from Mr.. Blaine de-
clining to allow his name to be pre-
scented to thC national Republican
convention as candidate for the
Presidential nomination. The letter
is dated Florence, Italy, Jan. 10Th,
and the first two sentences are as fol
lows:
| wish through You to state to the
members of the Republican party that
my name will not he presented to the
national convention called to assem-
BILE in Chicago in June next for the
nomination of candidates for PrcSi-
dent and Vice president of tue United
States.
am constrained to the decision by
considerations entirely personal to my
self Of which you were advised more
than year ago.
The body of the letter is devoted to
a review of the campaigns of 1SSO-'S2-
S4-'S6-'S 81, and forecast that the
tariff will he the leading issue in the
coming Presidential campaign, with
the prediction that the Republicans
will be successful. We believe, how
ever, with the New Orleans Picayune
that Mr.. Blaine'S words of cheer to his
party and his hopeful views of its
prospects in 1888 do not comport with
his declinatiOn to be Il candidate. To
occupy the Presidential chair has been
the ambition of his life. If the party
were stronger than it was i'll 1884, as
he claims it is, and when less than
1000 votes in this great nation stood
between him and the object of his
aspirations, he would be the last man
to hesitate or say aught that would
create even doubt as to his inten-
tons.
On the contrary he realizes that the
party, even if it desired to accept him
as leader after having been once de-
feated, is powerless to supplant the
Democratic party in the control of the
National Government that if Mr..
Blaine could not overthrow Grover
Cleveland after "a years of unbroken
Republican control of the government,
running as the candidate of a party
having control of the entire govern
uleut patronage, he could not hope to
accomplish that reeult IN the next
CanifaIau.

CapriccS of Convict LcSSeeS.

In the report of the Penitentiary
Committee which we publish in this
ISSUE it is shown that one sub-lesSee
admitted that he neglected the cloth
ing of the cOnvicts in order to get
even with the original lessces. This
is indeed refreshing, and shows broad
and advanced ideas of humanity that
amaze the ordinary mind.
When the poor convict, shivering
ana frost bitten from the scantiness of
his clothing, remembered these things,
how consOling it must have been for
him to know that he was aiding the
sub-lessee to ''get even with Hamil
IOn.n
How pleasant it must have been to
feel that his suffering was not inflicted
upon him through any malice or i'll
feeling towards him, but only in the
great purpose to get even with the
other lessee.
How thankful he must have been to
know that lOwly as he was, he was
yet permitted to be an instrument in
the hands of one lesGee to get even
with anOther.-New MsSissippidR.

Prospects Of Bitter Fight Over the

Si0ns.

1t is impossible to get at the exact
position of all the Chicago roads in the
rate cutting now in progress in this
city. Solar as the surface appearances
are concerned the various roads, except
the Omaha, are selling second class
tickets to Chicago over their counters at
81, but the Omaha is maintaining rates.
All the roads, except, possibly, the
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Omaha,
have the scalpers well sup
Piled with their tickets. None
OF the roads admit this and the
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
Omaha stoutly assert that none of their
tickets are in the hands of brokers. 1t
is well understood, however. that first
class tickets to Chicago can be had for
less than S11.50. 1t is declared on the
street that first-class tickets have been
frequently sold as low as 81, and that
second-class tickets can be had for less
than 81. Those who claim to know the
inside workings Uf the ticket and scalp
ing offices say that no one who desires
to go to Chicago will be allowed to get
away from the ticket seller if reduc-
ton from pretended prices of tickets
will secure him. Such state of affairs
can not long continue, and the prospects
are that prices will go much lower be-
lore there is restoration.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. s.-Another

to develop regarding the payment of
commissions on tickets. A meeting OF
the passenger department. of the Cen
trail Traffic association is to be held in
Chicago next Tuesday, and the most
Important phase TO come before the
meeting is the paying of commissions.
There have been various rumorS afoat
about paying commissions for months
past, and these will be investigated.
Originally the Traffic association de-
cided that none of its members should
pay commissions, or sell tickets over
connecting Western lines that did so.
This resulted in the aforementioned
sO-called boycott of the Western
lines about two years ago, in which the
pennsylvania company was said to be
the prime mover, though the officials of
that company explained that they were
doing no more than what the many
other members of the traffic association
were expected to do. Since then

most of them of minor Importance. The
most important were: Petroleum and
its products in carloads are taken out of

ton was taken regarding hard lumber.
This is due to the frequent changes in
rates on these articles, which necessi-

ton. Whenever a change in rate is now
made special tariff will be issued.
