BEFORE the Battle.
Why Darkness h Sett1lag On the FAIRY
Of BIaine and sherman.

why Darkness II Settllag On the Party
Of IsIaine and sherman.
Mr.. Blaine is still in Europe. He IS
not to blame for tho ills that befell his
party in New York, and if his party
have no chance to win in the next
National campaign, he can say, doubt
less with truth, that he docs not want
the nomination. However. if the DEM
ocrats name 1.-THE old ticket" the Re-
publican party may become emotional
and ask Blaine to make the race again.
How would the Plumed Knight relish
the fame Of having been twice de-
feated, and with an increasing ma
jority against him9 He is a hopeful
man, but the result in New York must
have startled him.
The encouragement of Blaine has
given hope to Sherman. He could at
ford to be defeated. He is rich enough
to accept the nomination and pay for
the headquarters printing out of his
own purse, being no lon.er Secretary
of the Treasury. He is a candidate
who would. perhaps satisfy Wall
street better than does Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Sherman might carry Ohio. Penn
sylvania and other doubtful States. It
is uncomfortable that a convention.
where spirits are high and enthusiasm
prevails, should nominate Sherman.
The nomination might fall on his chief:
of-dclegation, if a likely man. but on
Sherman himself that seems too far
from the character of the people.
They like man with warm blood in
his veins. Yet. If Sherman should
once get the nomination he might run
well. He is . Statesman of vast cx-
perience and brother of the General
who marched through Georgia.
From the West there comes the echo
Of Allison's boom. Allison could car
ry Iowa, Nebraska and other doubtful
States. Mr.. Allison. without knowing
much about finance. has an enviable
reputation as y monetary expert He
is in the inner circle of the Senate, be-
ing chairman of the Appropriations
0uO - AuCAAlUck "a tlAC lu0nCS NOlxll uit-
tee. But he can fire the popular heart
as luridly Is Sherman can, and no
more.
Had Logan lived, he could have car
ried Illinois, Minnesota and other
doubtful States, but the New Workers.
would have fought him on the culture
line. Still, the Republican party may
we'll mourn the loss of man who was
honest, and inspired his followers with
a decided belief that they could and
would win. Conkling is out of the
question; il Blaine could do nothing
else he could prevent Republican VIC
tory under Conkling. If there be an
American Boulanger. let him now rise
in the Republican party or forever hold
his peace. for never was there time.
just before battle, when great or
ganization was SO badly of for lead
ers. Politically. Blaine has failed.
Logan is no more. The names Of
Sherman and Allison excite no enthu-
siasm. Conkling's clients complain
that his speeches are hardly worth his
fee. Darkness settles on tho grand old
party and mugwumps thrive. Chicago

IN a BAD FIX.


The P1tiable Condition Of the sspnrty Of
Moral Ideas"
The recent election in this State has
made very considerable change in
the plan of campaign which the ..party
of moral ideas" had mapped out for
next year. Mr.. Blaine's stock went
down with rush when it was found
that the man who was to swing the
Empire State for him utterly failed to
swing even one Republican official into
the capitol.
After the famous combine" last
January, had lifted Frank Hiscock
from one House of Congress into an
other, and he returned to Washington
to receive the congratulations of his
brother members. he forthwith COM
mcnced setting up the pins for Mr..
Blaine in this State. moved by graft
tudc, rs he said, for what Mr.. Blaine
had done for him. He admitted sub
stantially that his own election was
due to the friends of MIR. Blaine work
ing upon the supporters of Mr.. Morton.
with that gentleman's assent and by
an arrangement with them had re-
stored harmony in the Republican
party that would ensure the carrying
of the Empire State for Blaine.
Mr.. Hiscock's declaration to his col
leagues in the house, last January,
that 'all things will now pull together
in New York and Blaine win be
nominated" received such cold
douchc on November 8. that it may be
considered as indefinitely modified.
Mr. Blaine can not any longer depend
upon having the Empire State swung
into line for him by Senator Hiscocks
and it will be considerable uphill
work for him to ''magnetise" the New
York delegation ut the next National
convention.
1t is not at all unlikely that the grab
bag will have to be resorted to by that
body, with number of names put
into it which would never have been
thought of had Senator Hiscock and
his master. TON" Platt. succeeded in
carrying the State. Mr.. Sherman is
looked upon now in Ohio as merely
fossil, or specimen of extinct man.
NAL. since Foraker acquired, with his
election. that peculiar and unfortunate
appendage known to politicians as
'swelled head" He regards himself
now as Ohio's favorite son, and will
stoutly contest the claims of any
rival.
Judge Gresham again looms up as
candidate for the grabbing and, per-
haps, Mr.. Allison's name may be found
in the same receptacle. Senator Gull
lom and Ben Harrison also hope for
chances in the proposed lottery. The
hopes of the Republicans are now re-
duced to keeping other Northern
States from following the example of
New York. Tho State is hopelessly
lost to them. having declared against
them six consecutive times. With Mr..
Blaine in the field. there is every reason
for them to expect to lose Massachu-
sets and several other Northern
States. Without Mr.. Blaine. how can
they hope to magnetic" the party
and fire the Northern hearth As the
Cleveland Plain Dealer pithily ex-
presses it: THE situation is MS dis
tressing as an unlighted pipe in biz
card" There only remains the grab
bag full of Presidential aspirants. Let
them blindfold Halstead and tell him
to draw the lucky or unlucky name. -

The wheat growing interests of the
Northwest, the mining interests of the
far West, and the cotton-growing in
terests of the South are counting on a
great increase in demand from homo
sources on account of the spread of
population in those regions. The low
price of wheat for years past has kept
the farming interests close to tho wall,
but with the spread of industrial ca
pacity toward the Rocky mountains
brighter prospects are looming up and
better prices are in sight. The Same
influences are at work in the South

ToILea.s CHRISTMAS HYMN.

Ihave faith that holds my life
Above the slough Of sin;
That stills the angry waves of strife,
And gives me peace within;
II is the story Of the morn,
From Heavens inspired pen,
That tells to ali how Christ was born
To walk the earth with men.
The shepherds meath the starry sky
Heard, far beyond their ken.
The glory sung TO God ON high,
Good win and peace TO men;
They saw the dawn in roseete light
Sweep back the ages gloom,
And Heavens love cleave pure and bright
The pathway nom the tomb.
Not for the mobiles purple clad,
Not for the kingly crowned.
Came Christ from God, with tifiinRs glad
That our salvation found;
He sought the lowly, poor, oppressed;
In howell. hut and cave;
And made the tofling millions blessed,
In triumph DER the grave.
As Moses smotc the rock OF old
He touched the human heart,
And from its center, hard and cold,
Saw loves sweet waters start;
His emblem was the palm, not rod,
And, oh! He taught rs then,
The way 70 win the love of God
IL through the love OF men.
On. brother toiler, lift your head,
Nor heed eArth's cruel blows;
The Christ who ate our bitter bread,
And sorrowed DER our woes,
Is yet our friend Of humble birth,
And holds His blessings nigh.
For He who shared our homes on earth,
Has homes for us on high.

On Pauper Immigration

PITTsBURG, December 20.-Members
on the Congressional committee on
pauper immigration are arranging pre-
Iiminaries for an investigation here to-
morrow. Congressman Ford says the
immigration laws are persisten tly VIC

pointed for the purpose; that steam

panies do not comply with these con-
ditions. and prohibited immigrants are
found on their vessels, they will be
