A magazine article from the pen
OF James G.. Blaine on almost any
topic would attract general atten-
ton. In securing an article from
Mr.. Blaine on the Presidents tariff
message the publishers of the Ameri-
can Magazine have effected a fortu-
nate conjunction of circumstances
the treatment of the most i'm
portant State paper-of the decade,
relating to the one great issue of the
Presidential campaign, by the lead
ing champion of protection, the
most conspicuous unofficial citizen,
and the recognized leader of his
party.
1t will appear in the American
Magazines issue of tomorrow. MIR.
Blaine, as is well known, regards
the Presidents message as deadly
assault on the citakel of protection,
and he appears on the parapet de-
termined to repeal the attack. 1t is
the habit of Mr.. blaine to credit
protection with all the prosperity
that the country has enjoyed since
the duties on imports were raised in
order to defray the cost of our great
war, and he has little tolerance for
any one who hesitates to accept that
theory. We shall not attempt to
prove that he is right, nor shall VIC
assert that he is wrong. but this fea-
ture OF his argument Will provoke a
good deal Of criticism.
Since the tariff is to be the lead
ing question in our politics for years
to come, contributions to the litera-
ture of the great issue from promi-
nent and competent writer's on eco
nomic subjects ought to be well
coined and read by thoughtful citi-
zens on both sides. We may expect
at least two more interesting discus
sions of this topic in few days
the letters of acceptance of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Gen. Harrison.
Pending the rival Of these, Mr..
Blaine will have the floor. Wash

In offensive operations General
Grant was master hand. He ask
ed for the same means of retaliation
against Canadian aggressions that
are now asked for by President
Cleveland The present means OF
retaliation are Ineffective. 70 re-
fuse to sell the Canadians bait as
they refuse us, or to prevent them
from fishing in our waters as they
refuse to let us fish in theirs, is play
ing at retaliation. The Canadians
don't want our bait or our fishing
privileges. But to stop the trans
shipment of faeights III bond across
our territory would Inconvenience
them no little. To provoke such re-
taliation would be to needlessly burn
their own fingers. They will hardly
do that. The best protection for
our fishing vessels, therefore, lies IN
an easy recourse to adequate means
of opposing injury if the necessity
shall unfortunately occur. But it
never would occur if the President
should be armed with the authority
he asks for.

A Home for Iowa's Soldiers

WATERLOO, Ia, Jan. 31.-Col Eber-
hart quartermaster of the Iowa Soldiers
home, gives few interesting facts in re-
gard to the condition of the home. There
are at present ninety-two inmates, OF
whom all but eighteen are American born.
Twenty five of the men are farmers. A
goodly proportion of the other men came
from poor houses. Others came from the
homes at Quincy, Leavenworth, and Day
ton, and most of the men came from
small towns and villages, the larger towns
contributing as follows: Dubuque. Des
Moines, and Davenport each two, Council
Bluff one and Burlington none. OF the
ninety two inmates but eleven are mar
ried. One native born Mexican finds a
home there, having served through the
rebellion in the Fifth Iowa cavalry In
reply to the question of what improve
mentsiwere contemplated Col. Eberhart
said: Forty acres of the grounds are
to be laid out in one of the handsomest
parks in Iowa, and every effort will be
made to secure Grand Army reunions
there. Many of the boys come to the
home after years of existence in different
aims houses, completely broken in spirit,
but the thought that they have no longer
to care for themselves, combined. with
the generous treatment accorded them,
works wonders.

A Letter Written by Senator In

KANSAS Cry, Jan. 3O.-The following
letter, written by Senator ingalls,, Of
Kansas City, toa friend in this city, was
made public yesterday for the first time;
WAsHINdruN, March 20, 1885.-Deat
Mr.. -: was glad to receive yours of
the 10TH We are still waiting for the
president, who.moves with great delibera-
ton, listens, to everybody and does as he
pleases His principal nominations SO
far have surprised Democrats as much as
Republicans, but they are generally
strong men, whost selection will be APP
proved by the conservative forces of the
country. He has no imagination or sem
timent. and his policy will not be sensa-
tional or startling, but if he keeps on as
he has begun his administration viii grow
in public favor. He is self-possessed and
confident, and exhibits no perturbation of
mind Good humor prevails throughout
though there is much grumbling among
Democrats at the delay in turning the
rascals out" But if Cleveland can stand
the racket for the next twelve months he
will bring his party to its knees and be-
come strong leader. He has great
opportunity, and evidently intends to inn
prove it. Yours. j. j. INGALLS,

The East ys. The West.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. The opposition
to the consideration of bills from the
committee on, public grounds and build
ings in the house has forced a union of
Representatives from the west as against
those of the east, the latter being led by
Mr.. Randall. There is very strong feel
ing existing among western members at
this combination for opposition 70 the
consideration of bills for public buildings
in the west, and they are determined to
bring the matter to an issue and force
air,hearing in, the case Of right and JUS
tice. The east is SO thoroughly provided
for ii the way of public buildings that
they aresin favor Of rigid economy so far
as It affects other sections than their own
and they have combined to prevent Q fair
consideration of the west in the way Of
public buildings at the present session.
The chief reason for Til: opposition of the
east is because OF the antisprot eetionist:
sentiment in the west

A Parsons Lapse.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-For some time past
rumors of disagreeable nature have been
disturbing the minds of the congregation of
the Ida Street Methodist Episcopal church,
and they have at last illuminated in scandal
that has eaused unprecedented excitement
among that portion Of the religious commu-
nifty. The alleged culprit is Rev. J. P. Brush
ingham, pastor of the above named church.
He was arrested this evening on d warrant
charging illeegitimate parentage, sworn out
by Miss Eva Parker, a young lady ofeighteen,
who has recently become a mother Brush
ingham's legal adviser said to a reporter that
his client had never heard Of the charge
until the child was born. He then itfifned'
lately called meeting of the official board OF
the church, which, after deliberatiou, passed
a resolution expressing belief in his inno-
eence, and determination to stand by him.
The lawyer charges that the whole thing is an
attempt at blaclSmail. Mr.. Brushingham
gave bonds in the sum of $500 for his appear
ance in the criminal court. He will also have
a church trial, which will take place soon, and
in the meantime will suspend his labors as
pastor,

PEORIA, ILL.,, Jan. Silt has just come
to light that Lawrence w. Harmon, y.
prominent attorney and well known pol.
tician, has been arrested at the instance
of the United States authorities fer at.
tempting to get fraudulent possession Of
several thousand acres Of government
lands in Colorado. Some time ago he

the claim and fulfill all the conditions re-
quired under the homestead law The
documents were returned to the Denver

LITTLE Rock, Feb. lin the Kimishi
mountains, Indian territory, Saturday
morning, five masked men called at the
house of Reuben Williamson, a wealthy
cattle owner, seized and bound him and
demanded of Mrs. Williamson to be
shown where the money was concealed.
He was supposed to have about $500 in
the house. The robbers then held Will
liamson's bare hands on the hot stove.
When Williamson became unconscious
his wife gave them $500 and certificate
of deposit for the balance of the money,
which was in Kansas City. bank, after
which they left. Williamson's injuries
are supposed to be fatal. Settlers and
ranehers are after the outlaws and they
will probably be lynched. @lif

WOOSTER, O., Feb. Among the cases
docketed for hearing by the circuit court,
which convened Tuesday, Ii that OF Mary
Bartol vs. Thomas Thompson Eckert. Inc
case Is sehsatlenal one; and originated
nearly half century ago. The plaintiff,
now a widow, residing here, was then MISS !
Mary Flemming, belle of this city, where
! the defendant, now Gen. Thomas I. !: Eckert,
general faahasef Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, was at apprentice in har-
ness shop. Young Eckert was particularly
attentive to Miss Fiemming and thef mar
rage was anticipated by the community. In
| fact, Miss Flemming had gone SO far as to
prepare her trousseau. According to herire-
cital of the affair, she had accepted Eckert as
sutton and the wedding was to have taken,
place > at Massilon, one anight In
the winter of 1912. The young
couple were to-, accompany a. sleighing
party to Massllon, and while there
were to be welded quietly, and then surprise
theft friends by the announcement of their
union. The s1eighing PARTY went to MASH
lon, but the groom-elect failed to take Miss
Flemmihg thither. She states that this neg
leet on his part was due to dispute with his
father, who opposed his marriage with her.
Young Eckert's visits to the Flemming resi-
dence became iessfteqeent, and finally ter
minated entirely. Then the young lady in
stituted legal proceedings for breach o. Of
promise. A jury in common pleas court gave
her verdict of $500 damages. This judg-
ment was never satisfied, although efforts
have been made to collect the money. Both
Miss Flemming and Eckert entered the mat
rimcnial state and the woman is a worthy
| widow of Wooster, and Eckert is well known,
by his connection with the Western Union
Telegraph company. Sympathy is with the
woman; as the opinion Is general that she
should have,received. the money long ago.
Counsel for the defense have endeayored to
have the cases dropped on account of some
technical point regarding statutes Of limita-
ton. The judgment has been renewed and
the question of It's renewal is yet to be finally
decided, hence the appeal to the circuit court.
