June 25th last he forged McGee's name
TO $50 check on the Chatham National

quently, but acquitted, and his arrest on
the forgery charge followed.
The detectives busted themselves,
hunting up Houses record and found,

time OF it in the west. He and Texan
known as Mug" Sullivan, fought a
duel for the possession of a girl, an al
bino, last year. They fought with bowie
knives, and House was victor, but re
ceived lot of wounds, the scars Of
which he still bears. The quarrel be
tween the two was renewed and a sec
ond duel was fought with pistols. The
detective didn't learn whether House
killed Sullivan in the second encounter,
but whatever the result was. Texas got
too hot for the young duelist and he
came to this city with his wife. He took

after living with her for fortnight te-

Appreciates The Situation.

The letter from James G. Blaine ans
nouncng that his name would not be
presented to the republican national con-
vention as a candidate for president, has
attracted considerable attention. Instead
of simply withdrawing his name as can
didate for the chief executiveship of
these United States, he proceeds with
rather superfiuous review of the politi>
cal situation According to him the re-
publican party made large gains in 1884
over 1889 and further gains in 1886 over
1884. He also finds that the party IS at
present in the midst of an enthusiastic
revival and that the chances of success in
the coming election are very largely in
favor of the republicans.
Mr.. Blaines essay upon the political
situation does not tally well with his
withdrawal as a candidate in the same
epistle. Is it possible to suppose that if
he really thinks the prospect for republic
can success is as brilliant as he claims
James G. Blaine would not be in the
field for denominations Anybody who
thinks so has studied the career of the
magnetic statesman to little advantage.
To one who can read between the lines,
the insincerity of Mr.. Blaine's words is
apparent The truth is that the hope
lessness (or nearly SOY of defeating Presi>
dent Cleveland is as clear to Mr.. Blaine
as to other shrewd Observers hence his
disincination to lead a forlorn hope
