Blaine Tactics.


New York, May 5.-The World pub
fishes the following: James G.. Blaine
will not be inaccessible when the
National Republican Convention is
held on June 10th. From time to time
it has been stated that Mr. Blaine's
plans would be so arranged that when
the National Republican Convention
was in session he would be on the
Atlantic, homeward bound, wholly out
of reach, so that he could neither de-
cline nor accept nomination If ten
dered him. The World, however, yes
terday definitely asccrtained that the
Name statesman will at this particular
and critical juncture be within COM
paratively easy reach, SO that he can
readily be communicated with, and
can accept call from his party If il
sees fit to enter him in the lists, and
he feels disposed to again encounter
the hard and perilous work of presi-
dental campaign.

The Speed OF Fish.

It is understood that for short dis
tances the salmon is the swiftest oil
fish. 1t has been calculated that it'
speed. at high pressure, or under chase
is from twenty to twenty-five miles an
hour. It is calculated that sharks ART
capable of keeping up speed of from
seventeen to twenty miles an hour
The whale, when hard pressed, cal
make about fifteen miles an hour
though its usual speed seldom exceed
five.

A part ofthe above saving of Sl5s,00
per year would come out of the reduc-
tion of the revenue ofthe United States
Government, and part out of the
enormous profits of the various Trusts,
which are the fruit of high tariff.
From the above statement II win be
seen that the greatest saving to the
farmer will be in the matter of jute
bagging and binding cord.
1t is estimated that because Of the
tariff now imposed upon raw jute the
increased cost on bagging and binding
twine averages three cents a bushel on
every bushel of wheat shipped in jutc
bagging from the grain-growing dis
tricts of the United States. This UNI
just taxation is a sad commentary upon
the inequitable conditions of our laws
which so needlessly burden our agri
cultural interests and tend to increase
the cost of wheat three cents pei
bushel, which increased cost inures di
rectly to the benefit of our wheat
growing competitors in all part of th'
world, and prevents the extensive cs
tablishment Of jute manufacturing in
dustries within our own borders whicl
would utilize a large number of ou
unemployed laborers.
Jute is not grown in this country
not because Of adverse conditions o
either climate or soil, but because tn,
cost Of growing the jutc is a smal
item when compared with the cost o
stripping 1t.
In India, II is possible to Obtain
labor suitable for stripping jute at I
price not exceeding four or five cent
per day. Then again, the value of tn,
lands and the interest for the use o.
money are less in India than is de
manded in the southern portion of th,
United States.
The manufacturers of jute bagginp
and burlaps, which latter form the
rough foundation for oil clothes, in
Calcutta aud Bombay, India, and in
Dundee, Scotland, obtain their raw
material free of taxation. Hence, the
manufacturers In those countries arc
enabled to ship their products into the
United States to Central American and
South American countries, to the
Hawaiian Islands and other sections,
which, from their location, should be
the natural markets Of American man.
ufacturers. In the countries which
have been named, jute bagging is used
for the shipment Of sugar, coffee, rice,
borax, ores, etc. Under the present
conditions of our tariff laws foreign
manufacturers of jute bagging can
send their products to San Francisco,
where they are received in bond, and
from thence distributed to the various
countries in which there may exist u
demand.
In the above estimate of saving to
the farmer from the passage of the
Mills Bill, the miscellaneous items,
amounting to 800. include savings on
farming implements, wagons, shoeing
of horses and mules, decreased cost of
transportation which should ensue be-
cause of reduced price of steel rails.

An observant gentlemen of our city
says he thinks that he hears fewer of
the South's greatest songsters, the
mocking birds, now warbling than ever
before, and belives that the feathered
singers are abandoning this section.
The only way he can account for their
disappearance is the advent in this sec
tion of those little pests, the English
sparrows, which, while introduced into
this country for a good purpose, have
become the greatest nuisances whcr-
ever the have made their appearance.
They are turbulent and pugnacious
little birds. and all other birds which
donot possess the same characteristics
make haste to abandon their favorite
retreats and leave the sparrows in pos
session of the field 1t would be a
great pity indeed If the South's favor
ite birds should be forced out or exter-
minated by the English sparrow, and
we hope that the gentleman only
imagines that he hears and observes
fewer mocking birds in this locality
than formerly.-Natchez Democrat.

Hill with u knife. Armstrong Hill,
the brother of Russell, was close by,
and on finding out that his brother
was stabbed, started to his house for
his gun, saying as he did so that he
was going to kill Burke. Burke, on
hearing his threat, started for his gun,

and shot him dead. Burke is a white

Circumstances Alter Cases.

Republicans favor High License in New
York and Pennsylvania, why may they
not equally we'll favor il in Maine For
the very best of reasons. New York and
Pennsylvania have many large cities, one
of which alone has two or three times the
population of Maine. For the States hay
ing these great cities High License is a
boider and stronger step forward than
Prohibition was and is in Maine. The Re-
publicans of the Empire and the keystone
States are moving upward and
forward from Low License to
High License. In the future,
and As soon rs possibly practicable, per-
haps another step forward. The Repub-
licans of those States are wise and fearless.
But To talk of license law in Maine. whose
population is almost entirely resident in
country towns and small cities, is alto
gether outside of the possible and the
practicable, andis proposition of coward
ly retreat SO far as Republicans are con-
cerned. They will be caught by no such
Democratic devices. What Democrats may
do, Is for them to decide. We assume not
to give them counsel.
