Those Democratic and l dependent news
papers which profess to think that ithe con-
troversy now raging over the question of Mr..
Blaine's health is something unique are
strangely forgetful. The same kind of
controversy ragged during the winter of 1879
and the spring of 1880 concerning the physi-
cal condition of that idol of the Democracy,
the late Samuel j. Tilden. Up to the day the
Democratic convention met in the summer Of
the latter year, the public was in doubt
whether Mr.. Tilden was a paralyto on the
verge of the grave as was alleged by one
side to the controversy, or an athlete, ro-
bust and active. as was avowed by the other.
Mr. Tilden was not at the time thousands OF
miles away from the scene of the dispute,
but living right in the midst of it, where
scores of his fellow citizens saw him every
day. Nevertheless so widely different were
the statements in regard to his health that a
large portion of the public were in doubt as
to the actual facts. The attempt to raise the
same kind of doubt as to the case of Mr..
Blaine has not been so successful, because the
doubs has to be created out Of whole cloth.
There was a certain amount Of truth in the
stories about Mr.. Tilden's i'll health. Though
they were greatly exaggerated there was in
them grain of fact. Mr.. Tilden was not
robust, and there was some danger that the
strain of Presidential canvass would prove
too much for him. The motive for the exag-
geration in Mr.. Tllden's case, was precisely
the same as for the fabrication in Mr.. Blaine's,
namely, to prevent his party from nomi-
mating him for the Presidency. In the for
mer case the exaggerations continued up to
the day of the convention, and in the latter
the fabrications bid fair to do the same
unless their authors discover that their effect
is likely to be so small as not to pay for the
trouble of connecting and circulating them.

General Boulanger has en- ightened the
people Of France little as to the revision of
the constitution which he favors. He would
have the Presidency abolished. but does not
favor dictatorship. Perhaps it would suit
him better to be First Consul. There was
once popular French soldier who was First
Consul; and it may be that Boulanger has
him in mind

A tall young New York bookkeeper has
had the habit of reaching up and touching
an electric light whenever he left his en-
ployer's store for home. Last Friday night
Friday night he flung his hand up as usual,
and received from the poorly insulated wire
enough electricity to kill him instantly.
Fatal accidents from electric wires are now
becoming regular items of news, like acct
dents from swimming or skating.

Ex-senator Benjamin Harrison, who may
be accepted as good judge of the trend of
political affairs in Indiana, says the State

Gratis is one Of the circumstances that is I'M
dcrmining the Democratic position.
