PuzzlinR Questions.

One OF the most puzzhng questions of
the day is this: What is the condition of
Mr.. Blaine's health? For two months this
question has been answered in the public
prints first one way, then another. Only a
day or two ago one of Mr.. Blaine's news
paper friends said emphatically that Mr..
Blaine was in robust health, and Mr..
Blaine's family physician supported this
statement from what he knew of Mr..
Blaine's condition when the latter started
for Europe, and from letters which he had
lately received from his distinguished pa
tient
In leading New York paper on Wednes-
day dispatch from Bar Harbor, Me-, con-
tanning an interview with o. NJ Shaw, of
that place, was published. Mr.. Shaw is an
old acquaintance of Mr.. Blaine and has
just returned from Florence, Italy, where
he frequently saw him. He says that Mr.
Blaine will not be a candidate, for the rea-
son that he is very sick man, being
affected with the diabetes. Mr.. Shaw tells
the Maine politicians to give up all hope of
seeing Mr.. Blaine nominated, and to decide
upon some other man as a candidate.
This statement Of Mr.. Shaw's would seem
to settle the question relative to Mr. Baine's
health, but it is probable that it will not.
Statements will doubtless be published de-
nying that Mr.. Shaw knows anything of
Mr.. Blaine's condition. and all the enthusi-
astic supporters Of Mr.. Blaine will believe
them because they want to.
But what political significance is to be
attached to the fact that Mr.. Blaine has
arranged to be upon the ocean during the
session of the Chicago Convention? The
convention meets on June 10, and Mr..
Blaine will sail for this country the day
before that date. Does this mean that if the
convention dominates him and ad-
journs he will be in position to say that he
is forced to accept, Notwithstanding his
letter Of withdrawal, because the conven-
ton cannot very well be called together
again to make another nomination, or does
it mean that his purpose is to put himself
out of reach Of all means of communica-
ton so that the convention will not nomi-
nate him because 1t will not be able to find
out whether he will accept or not before
adiourning2 These questions will doubtless
continue to occupy the public mind for
several weeks more.

2 Matter of Business.
Fronl the Boston Courier.

From the Boston Courier
Judge-It appears from the evidence that you
swindled this man out of $3.50.
Prisoner admit it, your Honor, but beg 10

was simply in the way of business.
jim the way of business.
P.-Yes, your Honor. We have formed
swindling trust
IA swindling trlstf
P.-Yes, your Honor. will explain TO you
Formerly we used to swindle man out OF 500.
Now swindle ten men out Of $50 apiece.
Our profits are the same, but we relieve the IN
dividual and distribute the burden, putting 1t
lightly upon the shoulders of ten, instead OF
heavily upon one.
il perceive.
P.-So, you see, by forming 'swindling
man; the many come to the rescue Of the one.
1t is harder work, of course, to find ten men
with $50 than one with $500, but we have the
satisfaction OF knowing that we have put the
burden OF the one upon the many. Moreover,
we have broken up all other combinations Of
swlndlers, and the community is safe from
every one excepting ourselves. l therefore ask
your Honor to look upon the matter in a bus
mess light. We are a trust, and as such we
look not for interference, but protection from
the law.
J.-Of course, II you call yourselves trust
P.-We are, your Honor.
J.-OrganiZed for the benefit
P.-Of the individual, your Honor.
Yes, and as you are the individual and
society is the many-six months in the House
of Correction. Mr.. Clerk call the next case.

Commenting upon the loss of $4,000 by
the Seneca Falls On. " Savings Bank
through the dishonesty of one of its en-
ployes, the New York Graphic says: 1.-THE
directors of the bank expected their trusted
handler of its funds to appear at his desk
with clean collar around his neck and a
suit of clothes that would not make him
look like tramp, and, to help him to do
this, and at the same time prevent his
family being supported at public expense,
they paid him the muniAcent salary Of IS a
week" The Graphic thinks the bank in
this way invited the young man to steal,
and it says there are employers in New
York who are holding out the same tempta-
non. To ask man TO be respectable, sup
port his family, pay doctors bills and live
generally in a manner that corresponds
with his position, and yet to pay him only
" or Us week, does look like putting
premium on dishonesty.

Ever since Congressman Oates and num-
Der of others succeeded in temporarily
defeating the direct tax bill, the Republicans
have been charging that the President has
agreed to veto the ill if it passes next
December. Mr.. Oates says he believes the
President would pursue that course, but he
has no assurance that he would, and has
sought move. The secret of the charge
mado by the Republicans is that they hope
to make party capital by pretending that
Mr.. Cleveland has committed himself on
the question.

Monticello, Fla, is to have a railroad, the

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, who is
now visiting at the White House. is lady
of quite a practical turn of mind The
dispatches say she is to be seen in the Ex-
ecutive gallery of the House, listening to
tie tariff debates. As Miss Cleveland is a
teacher in female seminary, perhaps she
will inculcate in the minds of her pupils
the beauties of tariff reform and in this
way gain converts among the future hus-
bands of the pupils.

The Summer Boarder.

Together they had walked the fields
AS mornings veil was drawn;
Had plucked with dewy diamonds wet
The daffodil and violet,
And breathed their breath of dawn.
She was dainty city lass,
pallid lily, fair;
But Auster through the flying weeks
Had blown the roses in her cheeks,
To grace the dimples there.
And he who by the maiden's side
Dame Natures sweets enjoys!
A hale and hearty country lad.
Whose brawny limbs were roughly clad
In rustic corduroys.
Each morn this captivating miss
Before their walk begun,
ALFRED herself in raimeut new,
So ravishingly sweet. she drew
Warm kisses from the sun.
But he possessed no such supply
OF complicated suits;
And save on Sabbath day, he wore
The trousers of the day before,
Stuffed in his creaking boots.
Between his puckered lips he blew
lively roundelay;
And all his nimble, whistling notes,
The warblers from their yellow throats
Caught up in trebles gay.
Poor fellowr' thought this fair coquette,
iii drive his mirth away"
And so she said, ~ fear. my friend,
Our rambles all must have an end
go to town today"
Good graciousn thought this maiden fair.

Senator VOORHEES, would rather be Sen
ator from Indiana than be Vice President,
at least so he SAYS in a letter to Judge In
gerson, of Knoxville. After reading the
letter no one will have the bardihood to ask
him to be a candidate for Vice President.
He says he is not and will not be a candi-
date for that Office, and would not accept
the nomination if it were rendered him.
and would not serve if elected. The Sena-
tors action will not be regretted by the
Democracy for the reason that the party
can find plenty Of good material for Vice
President, while to fill Mr., Voorhees, place
in the Senate would be- an extremely diB-
cult matter.

The Mayors of two Missouri towns are
opposing each other for the Democratic
nomination for Governor OF that State.
Mayor Francis, of st. Louis, was at one
time regarded as the coming candidate, but
suddenly Mayor Walker, of Springfield on
tered the arena. and the political aspect at
once underwent somewhat of change.
Mayor Walker has held his present office
twelve years, and his consent is all that is
needed for his denomination, while his
nomination is equivalent to election. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that he is quite
popular. While these two Mayors are con
tending for the plum, perhaps Gov More
house, who is understood to want to remain
in the mansion, will reach over and grasp it.

Hillsboro recorder., 1888-02-02

We said something last week a.
bout the conditlcn of our public roads
and suggested the adyisabilisy of i'm,
provement. Since then We have seer
that number Of our exchanges have
taken up the subject, and have dis,
oIssed it fully.
The "Daily Workman" advocates
Trrnpikes, others advocates the issu.
ing Of bonds for the purpose Of Macs.
'dsmizing, while others insists upon
applying to the Legislature for con.
'victs to work the roads &c.
We care but little for :he plan that
may be adopted, but there are two
things very certain: First, the public
interest demands better roads; Sc.
condly, better roads cannot be had
without the expenditure OF money.
We expect to say mare about it in the
fnture.
