Matthew Arnold employed for estimat-
ing the value OF the verse of Emerson,
and it must be admitted that Whittier
does not take rank among the greatest
poets. Still, some OF his poems de-
serve to live as long as the Psalms OF
David. A few of them stirred the heart
of the nation as no prose compositions
or forensic efforts ever did. Whittier
is popular, though he never attempted
to make himself So During half his
life nearly every poem he wrote made
him thousands of enemies. But the
poet OF duty did not write to make per-
sonal friends. For a long period he
wrote for class who could not read
his productions. He sang for those who
could not sing for themselves. He dis
played courage never eNcelled on the
field OF battle. Principle, as opposed
to policy. has governed his literary
career. He cared vastly more about
being right than for being considered
the greatest poet of his race and time.

Will Var. Blaine see the little
Point?

New YORK, Feb. 21.-The Republi-
can club had fun last night 1t had
been announced that United States
Senator Frank Hiscock would address
the meeting Of the club, consequently
there was large attendance. Sena-
tor Hiscock did not put in All appear
ance, but compensated for his absence
by sending letter, saying he was pre-
vented from attending the meeting by
official business. Col John A Grow
astounded the club by introducing
and asking for the adoption of a reso-
luton in reference to Jas. G Blaine's
recent letter declining to be candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
The preamble INDUCES in generous
praise Of Blaine, and the resolutions
regret the withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine's
name from the list OF presidential
candidates to be presented to the
national Republican convention. but
declared that "if the crisis present it.
self his party and the country demand
his services"
The resolution met with determined
opposition, and after a number of
speeches had been made for and
against, it was referred to the chair
man and a committee of five.
The committee concluded that it
would be unwise to pledge the club to
the support of political corpse and
the expenses of wake. The commit
tee consequently substituted for the
above resolutions others of its own,
reciting the virtues and greatness of
Mr.. Blaine, declaring that whether at
the head or in the ranks OF the Repub-
lican party, he would be foremost in
the battle for American industry and
manhood, and that he will carry with
him to private life the love and re-
spect of the party.
The resolutions Of the committee
were unanimously adopted, those o
Col. Grow being opposed because they
virtually indorsed Mr. Blaine as a pos
sihle candidate. Senator HiScock wa'
elected a non resident member of the
club.

The HeraId's View.

After giving the views f different
parties on the Withdrawal uf Mr. Blaine
from the presidential contest, the New
York Herald says:
We take different view Mr..
Blaine's retirement is a forced ac.
knowledment OF the good work done
by a Democratic Administration It
is an unconditional surrender to the
inevitable. 1t is simply his wav Of
saying that what he knows hr can't
do he will not try to do. 1t il impos
sible for him to stem the tide, there
fore he swims ashore. His qnick eye
has seen unpleasant prognostics and
he anticipates the verdict in Novem-
ber by Withdrawing from the contest.
The growing popularity Of the Dem
ocratic policy; the evident earnest
ness of the Democratic p'rty in the
work of reform Its honesty Of pnr-
pose guaranteed by its attack on the
syndicates and corporations which
have robbed the people of the public
domain its bold demand for the re-
duction OF dangerous surplus, and
it's determination to set our enfeebrd
manufactures on their feet; open up
the worlds marke is to the products
nf American labor, and thereby afford
steady employment and better wages
to the working classes Of this coun
try-all this has struck chord tc
which every business man responds
They are signs Of the times which
have not escaped Mr.. Blaine's notice
He would enter the contest not onl,
handicapped by the influences which
defeated him in 1884, but the tremend
Gus odds of the peoples increasing
confidence in coming era Of pros
pprity due to political methods Will
which he is wholly unacqnainted.

The Editor Again.

Last Thursday afternoon, as the
down train rolled up to Round Knob
Hotel, n. c., d. s. Carawav, editor of
the Jefferson County Visitor, of Messy
Greek, stepped ont Of the car, and no
sooner had he landed upon the plat,
form Of the hotel than he drew DIS
tol and fired at J. II Mister, the bar
keeper at the hotel, who was standing
near the door of his saloon. Az soon
as he saw Carraway coming from the
car, Mister started to run, and Cara
way fired at him while he was run
ming. Afterthe first shot Carraway
ran down the steps and fired second
time at Mister through the bar win
dow and kept up his pursuit after the
object of his enmity until he was
stopped by Mr.. Sprague and Mrs
Sprague, the latter Carraway's sister.
The cause of the shooting was alleged
criminal intimacy between Mister
and Cara ways wife. Cawaway claims
to have positive proof Of the intimacy.
Mister took the woods and Carraways g
people persuaded him to leave on the
return train for Tennessee. The affair
naturally created II good deal of ex-

Nep York Letter to the Philadelphia Times.
Cleveland viii have the New York
delegation in the Democratic National
Convention. Dontmake any mistake
about that. The Hill mutterilgs are
only surface ripples and have no
depth, There is a strong talk among
the Buffalo people against the Presi-
dent because every Democrat in that
town who had been acquainted with
Sheriff Cleveland and Mayor Cleve-
land thought that President Cleveland
would lift every mothers son Of them
into office, and because he dur't de
populate the city aud transfer its in.
habitants to Washington or T. foreign
soil he is considered an ingrnte. And
the spoilsmeu here have, of course, a
grievance against man who isa Pres
ident for the whole people.
Those, however, who call themselves
"Hill people" in this highly magnifed
dlsaffection, are mainly small fry. who
give themselves undescrved impor-
tance by borrowing the Governors
name. There is absolutely nothing to
warrant an assertion that they speak
for Hill. That astute gentleman per-
mlts no one to represent him IT. this
connection the strong aud unequIvocal
editorial declaration OF the Graphic
yesterday (Friday) in favor Of CIevt-
land, possesses more than ordinary
significance. Edwards II. Hill, its
chief owner, is warm admirer of Gofr.
whom he wishes to see Governor again,
and State Treasurer Fitzgerald, one OF
Hills official family, is large stock
holder in the reorganized newspaper.
There is something beneath the
Grophic'S declaration that is not ap-
parent on the surface, and | would not
he surprised at any time ifa Hill pro.
nunciato in favor of Cleveland should
not be made. Stick pin in that.
