prominent republican leaders) to disre-
gard the unmistakable call of his party
to duty because it might interfere with
his personal comfort and convenience.
On this point the Washington National
Republican, though an opponent of
Mr.. Blaine's nomination, says: "These
delegates, with this knowledge, actuated
by love of party and country, will
calmly consider the entire situation,
and should they believe that Mr..
Blaines candidacy is a necessity they
will draft him into the service of his
party and his country. Should such a
conclusion be arrived at--such a call
be made-Mr. Blaine will, as he ought,
obey it,"
The matter is not altogether COM
plcated one. If Mr.. Baine's nomina-
ton is found most expedient, then let
it be made; if not, then the convention
should bestow the honor upon the man
who appears to combine as many or
more elements of strength necessary to
insure a successful canvass. We do
not share in the apprehension that Mr..
Blaine's nomination would provoke the
resentment of other candidates. The
latter might well follow Mr.. Blaine's
patriotic example when, after his sue
cessive defeats in the national conven-
tions of 1876 and 1880, the party still had
the aid of his inspiring presence in the
canvass. He has never been the man
to " sulk in his tent" because others
have been preferred to him, or because
the party nominees have not at all
times been of his choice. He may OF
may not declare before the meeting of
the convention whether his decination
is absolute or not, but in the absence
of more definite and imperative reasons
than have yet been given for his with
drawal we insist that it is not in his
power to prevent the convention from
refusing to accept his declination if, in
its deliberate judgment, the interests OF
the party demands that action. In this
contingency Mr.. Blaine would un'
doubtedly accept, and he would be right
in doing so. But whether he is nom
mated or not, the democratic and mug
wump journals need not cherish the
" flattering JUNCTION that any one viii
be selected who is especially hostile tC
Mr.. Blaine, or who will less faithfully
represent the declared principles anC
policies of the republican party.

This Ought TO Settle IL.

Walker Blaine, son of the Maine states
man, says: The reports about my fathers
Illness have been source of great annoy
ance to me and to other members Of our
family, and / should like very much to set
them at rest. Only yesterday / received
from my mother a letter dated at Rome,
April 10. She says that my father, at the
time of writing, was in the very best of
health. He was going out every day and
was enjoying his visit in that city in the
highest degree. There was not the slightest
symptom of alment about him. Indeed, on
the contrary he had not felt so strong and
vigorous for many years. My father had
this European trip in contemplation for
some time, and chose the time for taking
it when it best suited his private con-
venience. He was not advised by his family
physician that it was a necessity, in view of
failing health, or anything of the sort. OF
course he needed rest and thought that the
sea voyage and European travel would do
him good | know Mr.. o. NJ. Shaw, the
hotel proprietor at Bar Harbor, very we'll

posed, of course he would see my father.
That he should be responsible for the latest
report that my father has diabetes | am 10th
to believe, and how such report could be
attributed to him. unless to make political
capital, can not surmise."

amendments to the Constitution; there
fore it is logical to conclude that as
Judge he will repudiate the same amend
ments when the opportunity presents
itself The Chicago Herald further
voices the democratic purpose when it
advocates the appointment of a chief
Justice who will undo all the Jacobin-
ism of the war and reconstruction
periods. This means the practical
notification of the postwar amend
ments to the Constitution which give
equal political and civil rights to the
colored race and forbid payment of
the rebel debt, the abrogation of the
civil rights bill and the general legisla-
ton in favor of the universally and
freedom of suffrage; and, in short, a
complete reversal of the results achieved
by the arbitrament of war which the
loyal people of the country have ac-
copied as a finality. The Chicago
Herald does not look for an immediate
fulfillment of the democratic purpose,
but it demands the appointment of a
democratic chief-iustice who shall be
young enough to hold his place until he
can be re-enforced by enough associates
to make his DEGREES the law of the land,
all constitutional inhibitions and legis-
lative enactments to the contrary not
withstanding.
Now if there is any one who thinks
the danger we have pointed out is an
imaginary or IA remote one, let him re-
call the course of Cleveland's admin
istration in regard to southern affairs.
and the nearly complete subserviency
of the democrats in congress to the
behests of the ex-rebels. No one who
thoughtfully reviews the political situa'
ton since the incoming of the demo
cratic administration can for a moment
doubt that if President Cleveland is re.
elected he will, as far as lies in his
power, proceed to reconstruct the SUI
preme court in accordance with the
views, wishes and interests of the eX
ponents and champions of the " lost

second term. Therefore the republic
cans may as well select candidate
without the least regard for the feel
ings or wishes of the mugwumps.
CONGRESSMAN HEMPHILL of South
Carolina, in his tariff speech last Thurs
day, said: " l believe in buying in the
cheapest market, and, if you please,
believe in buying labor in the cheapest
market" The democratic managers
are alarmed by his speech, but there is
no help for it now-the mischief has
been done. Mr.. Hemphill also de-
clared that "a tariff for protection "
was unconstitutional. OF course he
must think that he knows this better
than the trainers of the Constitution
did-or Washington, Hamilton, Jack
son, Webster and Clay, who were all
advocates of a protective tariff on con-
stitutional grounds.

A Great Issue.

The prospect of democratic chief
justice recalls the last one of that COM
plexon. When Roger B. fancy was
appointed by President Jackson he
was known as an extreme partisan
who had rendered Jackson valuable
political service. His name is insep-
arably connected with the infamous
bred Scott decision, which placed the
coored race under the ban of a con-
stitutional disability. His decision de-
clared that negroes were subordinate
and inferior class of beings who had
been subjugated by dominant race
and that they had no political or social
rights which the white man was bound
to respect If Chief-justice fancy was
on earth to-day he would doubtless
hold, with Justice Lamar, that the south
ern theory of state sovereignty and
secession is right and that the war
amendments are unconstitutional. The
country has now to dread the appoint
ment of successor to Chief-justice
Waite who holds to these pernicious
doctrines. The president may not con-
slider il prudent to appoint such man,
in view of the fact that his appointment
of Mr.. Lamar barely escaped rejection
by the senate, and for the further rea-
son that he is a candidate for re-
election. But the appointee will prob
ably be a democrat who will not
antagonize the disloyal and reactionary
sentiment of the southern democracy.
The appointment of democratic chief
justice will give the democrats but
three of the nine members of the
supreme court. To this extent the
situation is not alarming, but the danger
to be apprehended is the reelection of
Mr.. Cleveland and the consequent dis
placement of the present republican
majority of the court.
A new, and what all republicans
should regard as an important issue, is
thus introduced into the approaching
presidential canvass. The bench is
now made up of men long past the
prime of life and liable to be removed
by death, as well as by the retiring
privilege on full pay, for which Justices
Miller, Field and Bradley are already
eligible. AT least three new judges
will have to be appointed within the
next five years. If President Cleve.
land should be reelected he would
have the opportunity during his two
terms of appointing five democratic
judges, or majority of the court. II
is to this critical situation that the self
styled conscience republicans of 1885,
have brought the country. No one who
thoughtfully considers the question il
all its aspects can fail to be impressed
with its vital importance. We do no
unduly magnify the danger. Southern
journals and " statesmen" make n,
concealment of their purpose to undo
the results of the war as far as possible
and they find co-workers in the North

Results of ArbOr Day.

According to the american Agricultur-
ist Arbor day was derived from the
spring-time holiday known as "Tree
day." which was established at Will
Jams College in Massachusetts fifty
years ago. On that day the students
betook themselves to the woods and
came home laden with trees, which
they planted in the college grounds and
village streets. Similar customs have
long prevailed in several other New
England towns. Arbor day, now recog-
nized by the laws of many states, was
first observed by the Nebraska people
in 1874, on recommendation of the
state agricultural society. 1t is
claimed that 100000 trees were
planted in that state in that year. The
custom has spread until the once bar.
rem lands contain nearly 100000, 00C
young and thrifty trees, and some
twenty other states south and east Of
Nebraska have Arbor day for one Of
their recognized annual holidays. Ir
all these states the practice is popular
and is resulting in great good. Let the
good work 90 on.

How 1t Looks in Washington.


Presidential probabilities and POSSIBLE
ties are again the principal topic OF CONVEX
sation, as the tariff question, although very
important, is apt to become somewhat
monotonous after few days constant dis
cussion. The strangest thing to me about
the present situation, from a republican
view, is that in spite of the fact that Sem
ator ShermanS managers are claiming
everything in sight in the shape OF dele
gates, and are predicting the senator S NOM
ination on the second or third ballot at the
outside, no other prominent republicans
seem to think that the senator from Ohio
has ghost of show of getting the nom
ination. His candidacy is rather looked upon
as a kind of humorous affair by those re-
publicans who are not actively engaged in
whooping up things for him. But to Mr..
Sherman and his followers it is hard work
night and day, and if they are not really con-
fident of victory they certainly simulate il
well. The friends of all the other candi-
dates seem to be resting on their oars, so to
speak-in fact the echoes from the recent
state conventions have been so unanimously
in favor of James G. Blaine that the other
candidates have wisely concluded to step
aside. it is much easier than getting run
over. Another noticeable feature of the
situation is that many republicans who
were bitterly opposed to the nomination of
Blaine in 1884 are now enthusiastically in
favor of his nomination this year for one
or another reason. One will say that as the
tariff is to be the leading issue this year
it is only fair for the republicans TO put
the most prominent protectionist forward
as their champions another will say that he
believes Blaine was cheated out of his cleo
ton in 1884 and that he should be renom-
mated as a vindication others say that a
careful survey of the field and of the merits
of all of the available republican candidates
has convinced them that Mr., Blaine is the
! strongest candidate that the republicans
| can nOssihlV nut fOrWarl-anu, believing
more in the success of the party than that
of any individual, they favor the nomination
of Mr. Blaine though their personal pref
erences are for another man.

THE president has nominated Mel
vile w. Fuller of Chicago, a leader of
the Illinois bar, for chief-justice of
the United States supreme court. Mr..
Fuller was born in Augusta, Maine,
and is fifty-fve years of age. He has
always been a democrat and has been
one of the presidents advisers as to
western politics. Although he has
never held any high political office, he
has generally made speeches in impor-
tant campaigns. He ranks high as a
lawyer, and his private practice is prob
ably worth $50, 900 year. The appoint
ment gives much satisfaction in Wash
ington. The republicans had feared
that more Objectionable nomination
would be made. Mr.. Fuller has been
twice married, and it stated that he has
an interesting family of eight daugh-
tiers.
