ACCORDING to some of the news
paper reports that come over the
waters regarding Mr. Blaine, he is
very much broken in health, and has
a good prospect of climbing the gold
en- stairs before many more years
have rolled down the vista of rece-
ding ages. When Mr.. Blaine shall
have written his last letter, checked
his baggage for eternity and passed
over the silent river, when it can be
no advantage or qualification to him,
then the newspapers of this country
are going to vie with each other in
saying nice things about him. All
of the abuse heaped upon him a few
years ago will be turned into praise.

PROF. PAYNE, president of the

in the right place. He is delivering

want of proper management it has
never before attained.

over the reasons of Mr.. Blaine for ar
ranging his return trip to America so
that he will be at sea during the de-

If Mr.. Blaine was not sincere in his

have the nomination thrust upon
him by his jealous friends in such a
way as to relieve him of any en-

MAYOR HEWITT of New York
proved himself true American. by
refusing to allow the Irish flag to
wave over the City Hall on st. Pa
tricks day. He answers in two very
strong and creditable letters, the
Indignation manifested by the Irish
League of Dublin. He expresses
himself in very strong terms that he
will not cater to the foreign vote, and
says that the time has come "when
wemust decide whether native or
foreign ideas are to rule in the city of
New York" The Common Council
Of the city prove themselves to be in
the clutches of the same element at
which the Mayor so heroically thrusts
justice. In stirring message, in re-
gard to a resolution passed by the
council, taking the power from the
Mayor of directing what flags shall
be displayed upon the public build
ings, he gives some very important
facts which promises to make the
vexed question of foreign office-hold-
ers a real issue in that city. Mr..
Hewitt has but shown the courage
and love for true American freedom,
that should have been manifested by
our leading and prominent statesmen
long ago.
1t is fact not to be denied that the
foreign element in America to-day
hold the balance of powerin our gov
eminent, yet you never hear it dis
cussed by the leading politicians of
the great parties of our country so
that the public ear can hear it. Let
Cleveland speak as Mayor Hewitt,
and he would not have the slightest
chance for nomination, much less re-
election.
The leading daily papers of our
large cities find it too unpopular to
even discuss this matter. Think of
q per cent of the Alderman of New
York being Irishmen while a greater
per cent belong to the police court.
A prominent Ohioan, who was
here short time ago, remarked that
a great many of the Western people
wanted to come South in order to get
away from the foreign element which
was proving to be any thing but I'M
Objectionable.
We have no war to raise against
respectable foreigners for we welcome
them to our land of liberty, and
while wewould not have orexpectthe
Irishman to forget old Erin or the
German his Fatherland, yet when he
takes the oath of allegiance we ex-
pect him to support the Constitution
under which he voluntarily places
himself. 1t would be better by far,
to see the Monroe doctrine violated,
than have the foreigners come with
in our midst, and fo- the love of their
laws and customs of their native
countries, gradually weave our gov.
eminent into a fabric in which both
warp and filling would be of foreign
manufacture. The anarchism and
communism which is being bred in
our country must be uprooted, and
only such bold and fearless strikes as
Mayor Hewitt has given it will dc
the work well.

this can be followed than to have truthful
sketches Of private soldiers published, and the
incidents OF the field, tho march and camp

high in command have been told in glowing
terms by admiring friends and sycophants
