Mr.. Blaine Refuses to Reopen Is
sues of the Past Over Roscoe
COnkling's Grave.
He Doubts the Latter's Purported
Authorship Of the Recently
Published Letter,
Saying 1t is Unlike Mr.. COnkling'!
Courage, a Well Known Trait
of His Character.
Respect to an Enemy,s Memory,

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 25-The Kennebec
journal will tomorrow publish such re-
sponses as Mr. Blaine desires to make to a
recently published private letter of Roscoe
Conkling to his friends in New York
state. Mr.. Blaine was asked by the Ken
nebec Journal reporter if he had any reply
to make and this was his response: "Notll-
ing could induce me to enter into contro-
versy over NLr. Conkliug's grave. During
our joint service in cOngress-sOme sixteen
years in alive had some eXasperating
controversies but never spoke Or wrote 8
word concerning him except publicly, and

against every form Of criticism or unkind
expression, no matter what may be the
imprudence or injustice of any of his sur
viving friends. Then in the progress of
questions and answers Mr.. Blaine made
several observations as to whether Mr..
Conkllng was the author of the letter or
not. Mr.. Blaine said he of course knew
nothing, but it was great surprise to him
that such a letter should have been writ
ten by Mr.. Conkling. The date shows
that the letter was written just six days
after the close of an
EXAsPERATING PERSONAL DEBATE
with Mr.. Conkling and if Mr.. Conkling had
intended to say anything of the kind he
would have been apt to say it then and not
Immediately afterward in private letter
which was not given to the public fol-
twenty-five years and not until Mr.. Conk-
ling had been dead several months The
whole affair was not in accordance with
Mr.. Conkling's habitual courage in debate.
MIR. Blaine was asked if he had anything to
money out Of the recruiting funds in the
war and he replied it might with equal
truth be charged that he had made money
by robbing the mails or by piracy on the
high seas

Warning Theatre Owners.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 25.-It has been
rumored that Lotta's agents were endeav-
oring to secure the Hennepin Avenue thea
tire now closed under burden of legal COM
plication, the intention being to run the
st. Paul Grand and Hennepin Avenue the
aires in conjunction. This deal, if affected,
would of course leave the Minneapolis
Grand out in tie cold. The Minneapolis
Grand people have not been asleep. They
have a heavy investment which they pro-
pose to protect. TO this end they have
purchased q site in st. Paul upon which
they will build a fine theatre if Lotta's deal
goes through.

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Senate.

WASHINGTON Sept. 25. = In the SEN
ate Mr.. Sherman's resolution for in
quiry into the state relations between
the United States, Great Britain and Can
ada was taken up and Mr.. Morgan pro-
ceeded to discuss it. He said that it was
an obvious fact that the destructive policy
OF the republican senators was that no
other but a republican administration
should have the settlement of the ques-
tlons now open between the people of the
United States and those of Canada. The
senate was to have a glance at the substi-
tute for the Mills bill and then would
probably adjourn. Proceeding to discuss
the presidents retaliatory message Mr..
Morgan asserted that the safest cheapest
and best form of retaliation was to collect
duties on goods going into and coming
from Canada. The most direct effect that
would follow would be the transfer of
large part Of the trade which Can
ada now conducted with Great
Britain and other foreign countries to
American merchants and manufacturers.
The senate proceeded to pass the private
pension bills which We're on the calendar
to which there was no objection. Among
the bills passed was the senate bill grant
ing pension of $500 a year TO the widow
OF Gen. P. II. Sheridan. All the pension
bills on the calendar-1l4 in number
were passed. A number of other private
bills were passed. MI. Stewart offered a
resolution calling on the president for
such information as he has received since
the 9TH as to the action of the Chinese gov
ernment on the recent treaty. Mr. Ed
munds suggested that the resolution had
best be considered in executive session for
reasons which he would state in executive
session. The resolution was therefore laid
on the table temporarily, and the senate
proceeded to executive business with
closed doors.

A Strongly Marked Contrast,

The contrast between Russia and
Turkey in their railroad policy is
strongly marked. While Turkey con-
trolls fertile districts, in which there
seems to be u fair prospect of profita-
BILE traffic, no effort is made to develop
them. Russia, ON the contrary, Is
rapidly reaching out into Central
Asia, and is coming dangerously near
the Indian frontier Of England. Both
Russia and Turkey are equally bank
rupt; but the former appreciates the
importance Of railroads enough 10 find
some means of building them. while
the latter opposes their construction
with other obstacles besides financial
ones. New York Evening Post.

Good Out OF EVIL.

While this city was helplcssly strug-
Cling against, and then resigning
itself to the terrible snow-storm on the
10Th of March last, its snow conquered
citizens did not suspect the delightful
surprise that was preparing for them
by the reappearance in its parks OF
our native song-birds. Who told them
that the English sparrows had been
killed by the rigor of the weather, and
that they might safely venture back
Or do they, poised on doubtful wing,
longingly linger over the city parks
every spring on their northward jour
ney, to see whether they may drop
down there to build their nests where
their ancestors once loved to abide
The telegraph wires were down, but
Natures fine lines of communication
are always in order, for hers are the
sub-ways and over-ways that all forces
serve and the most terrible storms
cannot endanger. AT any rate, how
we do not know, the birds did learn
the fact. for the air is full of the sweet
notes of the thrush, while the little yel'
low bird, so long only tradition, bal
ances upon the topmost twig. The
oriole flashes in the sunlight, and the
woodpecker is at home with us again
As for the robins, there are regular
mass-meetings of them every evening
on the fresh green lawns. The crazy
chatter of the sparrow is almost
silenced. and our own birds have re-
turned to their old haunts, both here
and in Brooklyn. The phenomenon il
one worth the study of the naturalist
while it delights the lovers of Centra
Park, never SO beautiful as now in III

SURPLUS REVENUE.

In an address before the Brooklyn
Democratic Club on the 10th, Secre-
tary Fairchild said Of this subject:
at was strange the words surplus
revenue should suggest only evil and
danger to the mind of the American
citizen, when IL would seem that they
should indicate peace, plenty and pros
petty. The words are Of i'll omen be-
cause we have been doing what we
ought not to have done, because our
lawmakers have violated the funda-
mental principles of Democracy. There
is but one way out. That is to face
the other way, to follow the advice of
Presidents Arthur and Cleveland, of
Secretaries Folger, McCulloch and
Manning, and carefully and patiently
strive to relieve the government from
the trammels which are upon us. This
is the work which fate has given to
the Democracy of to-day. If it is
true to itself and its faith all will be
well. The President has done his part
His advice is before the country. Mr.
Manning did his part bravely and
ably. The bill drafted by the Demo
Gratis of the Ways and Means commit
tee has been supported by the Demo
Gratis in the House with unanswerable
logic. The question involved is moi
free trade, but free government and
free people,
