THE New York World says: Mr.,
Reagan, of Texas, promises to become
a valuable member of the Senate in
the way of recalling that body to the
constitutional principles which it is
drifting away from. He will oppose
the Blair Bill vigorously on the ground
that the Constitution gives Congress
no power to interfere in the school
systems of the different States or to
levy taxes to support State education
al institutions. Nothing could have
been further removed from the inteD-
tions of the trainers Of the CoDstitu-
Iion than to endow Congress with any
Bneh responsibilities. An extension
of any such interferenees would hope
iessly confuse our system Of dual gov
ernments. To assert that the Blair
Bill may properly be regarded as
coming within the scope "of the gen,
eral welfare" clause of the Constitu,
ton is to render meaningless many
of the provisions Of that instrument,
General welfare" thus construed, can
be made 10 sustain almost any pro.
ject that may be brought forward. Ii
involves a comprehensive and indis,
criminate bound towards eentraIzai,
tiop, beiittling of State Governments
ard an overwhelming of Congress
with matters that it has no business
with. Senator Reagan has laid out
for himself a needed and useful work.

WASHINGTON. June 3.-The job of
concentrating on Republican candi-
date is not an easy case. The Blaine
delegates were elected without any
reference to their second choice. and
his retirement from the field has de-
velopeda chance of conflicting prefer
ence. The Western delegates could
be pretty generally united on
Gresham, but Mr.. Plat and his New
York people object strenuousIy to
that. If they must have a Western
man they prefer Harrison or Alger.
Every day that passes adds to the
difficulty for every day each candi-
date in the field picks up a delegate
or two. Sherman, by the sheer force
of the law that the largest body has
the greatest attractive power, should
make much the largest gains, but
many of his delegates are held to
him by pledges rather than enthusi-
asm. and his boom has not gained by
Blaine's withdrawal to the extent to
which might fairly be expected. The
nomination of Thurman on the Dem
ocratic ticket would strengthen Sher-
mans chances if anybody supposed
for a moment that even Thurman's
nomination would make Ohio doubt
full.
Meanwhile a politician, who is mel.
ther a tenderfoot nor fool, threw
out this suggestion to me to-day I:

They are all delegates-at-large. MI.
rat Halstead is here in the interest Of
Sherman. He thinks the friends of

There is to be quiet caucus of lead-
ers here toward the last of the geek.
Mr.. Palstead, in answer to gen
eral question about the Republican
Presidential nomination, says!
II do not see how the convention
can reasonably avoid nominating
Senator Sherman. He has more than
the famous 306 of Grant now. The
persistent retirement of Mr.. Blaine
has given large number of delegates
personal liberty in an unusual degree
in this Convention. and it has estab-
lished toward Sherman a drift of
scattering votes in New England and
the South. and given him a great
deal of power in Pennsylvania. If
anybody is going to beat that, they
must show something stronger. 1t
is simply a question of whether on
that basis Sherman is to go on to the
nomination or some one else be
pushed forward from a minor posi-
ton of strength. AS to Senator Sher.
mans record, it is the record of the
Republican party. The principles of

ial reason for rank enthusiasm"

A Copious and Versatile MalefactOr.
New York Tribune.

|
New York Tribune.
The growth Of the Prohibition
third party movement is seriously
attributed to Mr.. Blaine by leading
exponent of Mugwumpery. Ofcourse
The Mugwump catechism contains
these questions and answers
Q.-Who brought death into the
world and all mortal Woe?
A.-James G. Blaine.
Q.-How can that be, since he wa
not born until after the fell deed wa
done?
A.-Well, anyhow, he would haYe
done it if he had gotten chance.
Q.-Can you criminally connect
him with the deluge?
Ave can. The E'Uening Post
has got an affidavit in its office-safe
setting forth that Noah always laid
the blame on James e. Blaine.
Q.-What did Guy Fawkes remark
when he was arrested
AIR. Fawkes, placing his hand
on pocket Testament, which he al.
ways carried about with him. ex-
claimed in tones that carried con-
viction to all that heard him My
lords and gentlemen, 1 cannot tell a
lie. James G. Blaine did it."
Q.-What do later researches show
in regard to the massacre OF the HUI
guenots =?
A.-They show that without an
exception every one of the unfortun.
ate Huguenots in question persisted
by the gore-reddened hand of James
G.. Blaine.
Q.-Do you know what DIR. Kane
al ways charged when the subject of
Arctic voyage was preached ?
A.-The Doctor always charged,
with an earnestness all his own, that
the reason the North Pole had never
been discovered was owing solely to
the shameful fact that it had been re.
moved from its place and hidden
away by James G. Blaine.
Q.-Who smote the marble gods OF
Greece q
A.-James G.. Blaine. He cMl.
mitted the outrage on his way home
from firing uninsured Ephesjan
dome.
Q.-What did the last Mayors of
Pompeii and Herculaneum as ,ert in
their ante-mortem statements
A.-They sWore that neither Pon,.
peii nor Herculaneum was destroved
by an eruption of Vesuyius, but hat
both cities were shoyelled under hv
James G.. Blaine. They thought tbey
could identify the shovel.
Q.-Do you know what stands in
the way of James G.. Blaine belna
popular in the South
