Mr. and Mrs. james G. Blaine, Sr., Treat Their
Daughter n-law in Most Shameful Man

Mr. and Mrs. james G. Blaine, Sr., Treat Their
Daughter n-law in Most Shameful Man
ner.
New YORK, Oct. 23.-As stated in pre-
vious dispatches Mrs. James G.. Blaine,
Jr., is about to begin suit against her
husbands parents, Ex-Secretary James
G. Blaine and Mrs. Blaine for 100000
damages for alternating her husbands af
fections. Young Mrs. Blaine does not sue
for divorce, for she is a rigid Catholic,
and her ideas on the subject of divorce
are in accordance with the well
known rules of the church. Besides, those
who have authority to speak for her say
that she is still attached to her husband,
and above all things, desires reconcilia-
ton. She says that her husbands parents
have come between herself and him so
that he deserted her, refused to answer
her letters and telegrams impIoring him
to send her some token of his affection,
and, IN word, has cast her of.
Mrs. Blaine, accom- panied by her moth,
er, went 10 Augusta, Me-, @ few days since
to see her husband, bat was denied that
privilege by her mother-in-Iaw. General
Roger A. Pryor, one of the attorneys re-
tanned, says he was professionally
informed of tho trouble some two weeks
ago. He saw her aud advised her to
write to her husband Offering to go to
him and live with him where he wished.
she wrote that letter, and it was IN
answered. Then he advised Mrs. Blaine
to go to her husband, taking her baby
with beT, and to do everything possible
towards smoothing matters over and
effecting a reconciliation. She went to
Augusta and did not see her husband,
and that all her overtures for reooR-
ciliation fell through.
Gen. Martin I. Mcmahon, another one
of Mrs. BIaine's attorneys says the case
will probably be brought in the supreme
court here, as they would be fearful of
Blaine jury in Maine. Mrs. Bleine's Maine
lawyer is the Hon. Vim. L. Putnam, the
late fisheries commissioner. II have
known Mrs. Blaine since she was little
glrl,'' said Gen. McM.hon. warmly, land
l tell you, sir, she has been shame
fully abused. She is a young woman Of
sweet and teader disposition, aud |
am certain that in this affair she is in the
right. IL Cincinnati and Pittsburg and
wherever she has lived she has been
social favorite. She loves her husband
now dearly and would do anythiug to
straighten out matters again. It's only
another case of mother-in-law."

NEw York, Oct. 23.-The news from

full of warnings against the Q Quay schemes

EXPERIENCE has taught the cattle men
in Colorado that il is useless to attempt
to make money by turning cattle out
upon the bleak plains in the hope that in
some way Or other they will go through

bring so much higher prices that the
business Of running cattle on the range
must eventually come to an end.

ABOLISH THE. FRANNiNG PRIVILEGE.
The debcto in the house of represeata-
t;v,s over the franking privilege and its
abuses, revealed one thing very cl>arly,
that the custom ia responsible for moro
ubuses than benefits. In addition to the
stretching this politicians Of both par
ties apply to the frauEing privilege,
making it cover about every thing they
may want to send through the mails,
from congressional speech to- package
of uulauniried linen, the frank of any
member or senator is easily coaHter-
feited, and can thus be made the instru
ment OF unlimited frauds against the
postof1ieo department. To offset the
abuses thus shown TO be inseparahle from
this privilege, 1t would be hard to show a
single benefit that would arise from it's
continuance. It is true that the speeches
OF senators and representatives u on the
subjects under consideration before con
gress can be sent out for the information
of the public free of charge. This might
be of some use in furnishing political en-
| lighteument - the people if the people
were in the habit OF reading the Con
gressional Record or any part of it when
mailed to them. The speeches that are
worth reading, however, are published in
| the newspapers and the reading public
! seruse them long before the franked cop
| les of the Record reach their destination.
In view, therefore, of the l'ttle good the
| fraukiug priviiess furnishes The public
and the great abuses to which it is liable,
1t would be better to abolish it altogether,
If this were done, Representative Cox
would have no furthec occasion 10 com
plain that his frank had been counter
feited and Chairman Quay or chairman
anybody else would not be running the
literary department of political cam
psisn entirely at the public expense
There is no good reason why partisan
committees should not pay their postage
as well as their other campaign expenses

1T MEANS BUSINESS.
The St Paul Globe speaks to the Min
nesota farmers in this way:

The st. Paul Globe speaks to the Min
nesota farmers in this way:
Two weeks from next Tuesday the farmers Of
Minnesota will have an opportunity, and possibly
the Inst opportunity, to determine whether they
shall be relieved from the onerous taxation i'm
posed by the operations Of existing tariff laws.
We say that il is possibly the last opportunity
they shall have TO pass upon this question during
this generation, for it IS well understood that if
the republicans succeed in this election the result
will be accepted as the solemn conclusion Of the
people Of this country to perpetuate the existing
revenue policy, with the exception that whisky
aud tobacco shall Lc exempted from taxation.
If the democrats succeed, it will be accepted as a
popular declaration in favor of removing tho
inequalities Of the existing tarir and reducing il
TO revenue basis without disturbing the tax on
whisky and tobacco
This is just M pertinent TO farmers
and all others in Wisconsin. This cleo
tion must be accepted for this generation
at least. If the people decide to perpet
uate the present System of protection to
the few wealthy organizers of trusts at
the expense of all farmers and workingmen
of the west that must end il. The demo
cratic party knows very well that it could
have won in this campaign on the record
OF the administration, which has reclaim
cd and recovered an empire of the pub
lio domain that had been stolen; which
has built and launched seven lew war
ships in three years, and VII have
rs many moro completed before the end
of four years. But the democratic party
like its grand leader Grover Cleveland
"has an eye ON the public intsrest"-Rnd
has made most honorable fight for n
fair and just revision of the tariff system
to the end that The people shall pe re-
heved from unjust "a well as unnecessary
taxation. The voter will say whether he aP-
proves of il. If he does not he must make
up his mind that the present shameless
robbery of the west must go on while this
generation lives. That is exactly what
the people have before them TO settle
November 9Th.
TOTAL abolition of taxes would al
most inevitably prove a serious, if not an
