Mysterious Blaine.

The New York Herald says that ''Mr.
Blaine keeps his friends in cold perspira-
ton by the uncertain reports of his physical
condition. He is well, hale and hearty, an
expert at the goose step, rosy checked as
Aurora, his step is firm, his thews are steel
then his followers roost high and the
cheerful song Of Chandelier, the melodious
crow of victory which is $50 near and yet
SO far" fills the air. Then, too, John
Sherman curses his fate, crashes his teeth,
rends his garments and sorrowfully con-
cludes that life is not worth living. A
half-hopeful smile lights up the counte-
nance of Mr.. Depew, but Allison, Gresham,
Hawley and a stableful of s'dark horses"
impatiently champ the bit and angrily kick
their stalls down.
Then we hear that Blaine is ill-has the
rheumatism, the govt, the diabetes and
Heaven knows what; he is sick, dying

about with canes, crutches; has bad look

rooftree of Sherman, Allison plays the
sRed, White and Blue'' on the bagpipes,
and the gentlemen who have hopes, how
ever remote, begin the lusty measures of
Highland fling.
The republican party is as dizzy as a
spinning top. 1t knows nothing: it i'm.
AGNES everything. 1t weakens under the
strain of dreadful uncertainty, and is
shrunken by spontaneous combustion. In
the meantime great Jove from Maine is
dumb as an oyster. He has said he won't
but his party has paid him the doubtful
compliment of not believing him. Indeed,
it doesn't know whether he meant what he
said, said what he meant, or, according to
his usual custom, simply wrote a letter
which, like the sibylline prophecies, may
be translated dozen ways at once.
All right. On the 9th of November the
bulletin boards of the country will make
this simple announcement, "Exit Jove."

COMBINATIONS TO EXACT TRIBUTE.-In
his article published in the Bait. Sun of the
May the 3rd, Senator Vance discusses as a
phenomenon of great Importance tho ten
dency at the present time of capitalists en-
gagged in production to combine to fleece the
public with the help of laws made at their
instance. They act together to get un-
thinking or corrupt legislators to frame
tariffs, grant charters and pass all sorts of
laws to enable them 10 exact tribute from
the people. The surest way to accumulate
wealth, it is found, is to get things so fixed
by law that part Of the earnings of the mil
lions must fall into ones lap. Hence the
prosperity of the sections and States which
are favored by the tariff. Hence, too, the
wealth of trusts, railroads and other unreg.
nlated monopolies which fatten upon the
people under the protection of the law
Monopoly and restriction are now the rule.
Freedom of trade among ourselves is al
most wholly lost. the price and movement
of almost every necessary of life being die
tated by some soulless corporation, trust.
pool or association. The reform of the tariff
will help to lessen these evils, but their
eradication must be the work of the intell-
gent craftsmanship of the future.

Hon. J. YosT AS A BoLTER.-A CORES
pendent furnished the State Republican
with an account Of the Republican Con
ventions held here on Saturday week and
characterized it as ''the most stormy, tenn
pertuous, and unruly gathering ever wit
messed here IN a political meeting." The
following are extracts from this CORES
pondent:-
"The position of Mr.. Yost is a remark
able one, he being the favored man of his
party, leaving his seat in Congress to come
to bis district to take part in factional
fight which must necessarily result in max.
ing enemies, when he is the representative
of the whole party, and not of particular
faction.
Els object should have been to create
harmony, instead of discord.
But instead of acting as the common in.
terests of all factions of his party would
demand, he not only makes war upon those
who differ with him, and his notion of party
organization, but poses as a bolter, and in
so doing he has released the Republicans
of the tenth District from all obligations of
supporting him in the future.
The delegates elected are tried and true
Republicans ard comprise the fighting
strength of the party in this county.
Very few of the kickers ever did much
for the party"

ALL FOR CLEvELAND.-As the Lowell
(Mass.) San says, all the States are coming
into line for Cleveland and continuation
of the reform he has been giving the coun-
try. 1t is pleasant to note the unanimous
approval of Cleveland's administration by
the Democratic Conventions and the subse-
quent instruction of delegates to vote for
his denomination. Cleveland is with the
party and the party is with Cleveland.
