BLAINE As A POSSIBILITY.

A Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun intima,es that Chairman Jones'
mighty secret" TO the effect that Blaine
had written third letter on the subject
Of the presidential nomination, in which
he somewhat modified the absoluteness of
his previous destinations, Is not all myth
and that he (Blaine) may yet be a posi-
bility In Chicago. Writes the correspond.
snt: Not only do many Republicans
hope that Mr.. Blaine will be nominated
but they believe it," and it is this "adhcs-
I've spirit" which holds the Blaineites to-
sether. 1t Is certain that his followers
will stick to him throughout from the
first to the last ballot, and while he will
will present an unbroken front with his
delegates, the friends of the other candi'
dates will be SO split up that their stu
alton can only be described as chaotic.
Ii Is by no means an impossibility then
that this fact may lead to Blane's no
mination after all. The unanimity of
his friends contras,ed with the differences
and confusion which will probably be
caused by the mention Of others who
have been alluded to as prospective Re.
publiran standard bearers, may lead mp
to the general impression in the conven-
ton that he is the only man who can
have any chance Of snatchipg victory
from the hands OF the Democracy, and
therefore Is the only man who can bt
nominated.
Under these circumstances the dis
plumed knight from Maine can hardl,
refuse to accept. Everybody knows tina
he would be only too glad to do so any
how II he did not feel that the Republi
can ship Is sinking, and that it would b,
wise for an old experienced political ra
like himself to desert IT, But no matter

THE EMPEROR FREDERICK Ill

The news OF the death OF Frederick
Ill Emperor OF Germany. has been re
ceiyel with sincere sorrow throughout
the civilized world Long before his
aged and eslimable father, the late rugged
bu, benevolent old Kaiser died, "Unser
Fritz as his people liked best to call
him, had won the esteem OF the wofid
for his gallantry as soldier and his
sterling qualities as man. These gained
him universal sympathy when, as the
Crown Prince, il was first announced
that he was afflicted with an incurable
disease which, despite all that wealth,
position, and science could do, must
inevitably result fatally, and the heroic
patience with which he bore his suffer
ings only served to heighten the adT.nS,
ton he had previously won.r~-'
1t was not; i iitSs'S7esef, until he became
Emperor that the noblest qualities of his
character developed themselves. AS
SHINING the crown on the death OF his
aged father, while he himself was really
in the throes of dissolution, he did no!
permit pain or suffering to interfere with
the weighty responsibilities cast upon him,
and which no one more than he felt Az;
appreciated He at once seized the reins
of government with no uncertain hand,
and had already, in his brief reign OF hut
little over three months, impressed his
individuality upon Europe. He bad
demonstrated the fact that all his in
fiuences and all bis power would be cast
on the side of peace, liberty, and male
rial progress; and SO frequently had tli
been shown that had he lived there is no
doubt his reign would have proven a
blessing and honor, not to his own people
alone, but to humanity and civilization
as we'll
The uncertainty which will, for time
at least, follow the course 10 be adopted
by his son and heir, now Emperor Viii
liam | L., must necessarily heighten the re-
gret which the world feels at his taking
off, II Is not source of sorrow that
any man suffering as did Frederick Ill.
should die. To the contrary, death
which had stared him in the face so long
and which he knew was advancing on
him With sure and steady strides
must have been TO him a great re-
lief. But whether his successor, who
Is netting if not soldier, will walk ii
his footsteps, and seek to gain glory onC
credit for his country and himself by fol
lowing the gentle avenues of peace
rather than pursuing the stormy pathway
of war, is yet TO be seen. Ii he chose
the former lie NAV yet prove himself INT
worthy son of his sire and grandsirc
But If lie rushes headlong into the latter
as his natural inclnations, if report BE-
true, will lead him, he may yet force th'
German people to regard the loss o
their late beloved Emperor as irreparable

THE DEMOCRACY AND PROHIBITION

I, "a stated that the friends Of prohi
bi,ion in Richmond have already secured
sufficient names TO petitions for locs
option election 10 ensure such an elec
ton being ordered, and 1t is more than
likely that it will be done. In view ol
this possibility, the following extfac'
from the Democratic platform, recently
adopted at st. Louis, will be appropriate
We oppose sumpluary laws which
yex the citizen and interfere with indi-
yidual liberty Nat Den. FToU0rm, 10
affirmed from resolutions Of 1884.
The definition of the word "sumptuaIy
as given by Webster is regulating eX-
pense or expenditure" and "sumpiuary
laws OF regulations are defined to he
"sucb as restrain or limit the expenses oi
citizens in apparel food, furniture or the
like" In other words, sumptuary laws
mean in plain English, such laws as I'M
periinenily interfere with the rights ana
liberties of citizens to regulate their own
expenses and their own appetites as they
see fit.
The resolution quoted above, which
is a reafiirmaiion of similsLiesolution
in the platform OF 1854, is in reality but
the rene..,tiroii of the principles and doc
Itrfncs of the Democratic party from
time immemoral. Just as that party
fipbts for the right of a man to purchase
his clothing and other necessarles oil HE
where he can do so 10 the best advan'
tango. so it fights for the free exercise oil
personal liberty in all partculars-regard
of course, being had to the public wei
fare.
Prohibition laws, then, being OF the na
ture of impertnent sumptuary legisla
ture have never received any aid OF
approval from the Democratic party
Other laws and our general system OF
government are sufficient TO protect so
ciety, and any man who violates then
knows full well that he will have to beal
all the consequences of his failure to re-
spect the legitimate demands OF public
opinion. Sumptuary legislation Is there
fore lyrannicel, undemocratic, and con
trary TO the spirit and genius of our free
institutions, and that is why the Demo
crazy of the country never as and never
will give to it, or to its twin sister Pro
hibition, any countenanec.

WHAT SHOULD he DONE.

Now that it is an accomplished fact
tina. sugar can protitably be made Of
sorghum, tine next question to be set
tied is, how to utilize this fact for the
best interests Of the state. 1t costs q
good deal Of money to put in q plant,
and from the shortness of the time, in
which sorghum has to be worked up, the
machinery lies idle about three-fourths
of the year. During that time the iu-
terest on the cost Of the plant goes on.
On account Of this eugsr cannot be
made as cheap as it could bs if the ma
chinery could be kept at work the year
round. How to remedy this is the ques-
tion. It is certain that money caDpot
be raised to put in a plant in every neigh
borhood. Cannot q remedy for this be
brought about by establishing mills to
grind the cane and make molasses in
every place where cane can be bought to
keep them running through the cane
season. Then let this molasses te
shipped to the mills already established
and in this manner these could be kept
running through the year. We do not
know that this is PRACTICABLE. but il it is,
it would make Kansas the great sugar
producing state Of the union. What do
You say about this, Mr.. Oowgill?-E. p.
