WHEN disaster Overtakes a party
it looks around for the cause and pro-
ceeds to provide itself with a scape-
goat. Should the republican party,
burdened with its high protection and
Kinley would be made the scapegoat.
On the other hand, if the party should
succeed his fame would he increased
and his wisdom exalted. Man must
act, and yet it is true, as Hawthorne
said: before the action one can never
be exactly certain whether he will by
the act make fool or hero" After
the November election the Napoleon
of protectlOn" will either be the COM
mander-in-chief of the republican stu
alton in 1892, or he will be exiled to the
st. Helena of politics.-K. G. Star.
WhOtold you so? How about Blaine?
He don't seem to be much of political
exile.

A WASHINGTON special says: MA
jor Mckinley has received, through
Senator Brown, formal and pressing
invitation from the directors of the
Piedmont Chautauqua, near Atlanta,
to deliver an address, at such time as

tion to the formal invitation Senator
Brown added very cordial one in his
his own behalf. There are, besides,
several very pleasant letters. The
character of the invitations were such
that Major Mckinley did not feel at
liberty to decline them, and he was
also glad of the opportunity of appear

in the correspondence, is that he is in

THE Cleveland Plain Dealer details
at length the pension bills approved by
Cleveland, and among them is the fol-

Mexican war pension.-He APP
proved the act of January %, 1887,
which has placed on the pensien rolls
81 ,704 survivors and widows of the war

And of the p ,704. two-thirds were in

fifteen thousand rebels for some real or
imaginary service fifteen years before
the rebellion, and on the same day veto

on tho pension list because they could
not trace their disabilities back to the

it. Being a prominent citizen of Cen

one of the doubtful States, his decla-

will have great weight among the

AN Iowa constable has taken a new
departure in the way of convicting

prosecution offered in evidence a pho

stable had turned his talents to anna

will be a demand for the picture, as

to practice. In this case the shadow
