CONKLING AND BLAINE

"I' Cooking dIes that means Blaine, us sure as the worid," said a veteran Chicago politician to New York Herald correspondent last week. With Couk. ling dead Blaine might be able to do something in the way of healing tue dis sensions in the Republican party. But ss long as Conkling lives be will preserve his emnity for the man from Maine and never lei np. Tbere are many followers of Conk. ling ID New York state who would be wiling to bury the hatchet for policy's sske, but they will not do it ss long ss their leader is alive.
 They would not dare face hIs anger, | SCOTT and contempt. He would kill them with his tongue, and they know it. He would tsy them alive end kill them politically. Then, again, itt they came 10 Blaine with peace offerings the Maine man would not know whether they were trying to lead him into s trap or not. He is very suspicious and eternslly on his guard. and for that reRson would be hard to approach by Q stalwErt, unless hs had assurances from authentic sources that DO attempt WAS to be made to dupe him.
 ''0f course 1t may be that Blaine s health is such that he would not under any consideration make the PresIden- tial race again, but I don't bllieve it The Herald put i. about right when 1t sad. Q short tune before Blsine's letter Of deciiDation came out sad just after the meeting of the sub-cC mmiTtee of the National Republican committee here that BlalDe's only hope lay IF the con- eiIasion of the New York ssslwgris and that If he could secure the support If baf dozen leading ConEiing men he could obtain the New York delegation ta the Chicsgo convention. The con- 0 ansus of opin among the members ot the subcommittee was that pracuesll- ly speaking, the nomination of Mir. Blaine wss in the hands of his ancient enemy. No one knew thls better than Mir. Blaine sud Mir. Conkn8F, though the latter was TO doubt sincere in hIs de- claraton that be was oG, of poll ics.
 Remember what say, that if Conk- linz dies there -ill be A big change ID the political situation. and muy be the means of b5Ingiog Ir. B.aiDe 10 the fron. sgsin n s.ch m8ular that his nomination at Chicago vlll be unlui- nous to all intents and pupOses, not withsi sudiug tbGt a state delegation or two has been instructed for other men. r Corkling dles aRd Bisine is well enough to run, Sherman, AlZer. Al'ison, Gresham. Harrison, H4wiey and all the other Republicans spoken of Gs Presi- deptial possihiiiti. will be swept aside Ike chsff and Bisine =!!l b. nominated with an enthusiasm that VII cary every thing before is. Whether he can be elected or not is another ihing, but that hs would made another magnificent fgh. for the White Hou1e I have no req son to doubt"

SENATOR INGALLS, says of immigra- ion: Il. IS the cauing question of our tme-Whst 10 do about immigration. We have been for SO many. years psra6- ing on the shore, shouting Hail, C1lum- bis' to the Bceompan ment of brass band, waving the Stare and Stripes and beckoning violently to all quarter of the globe, that we hsve perhaps, carried the business a little too far.
 We find that we have a surieit of un- skilled labor. Al the end of this cenin- ry-in twelve years more-;he public domain will virtually be exhausted. There will not remain, subject to the Homestead laws, quarter section of land on which corn or wheat can be pro- htsbly raised.
 Then what will happen? Then land of all kinds will increase enormously m value. Tenants will supereede freehold CTS. In my judgement the acquisition of land by small owners. which is the great safeguard and curity of repub licsn institutions, will nearly cease. The tendency thereafter will be toward the consolidation of small farms into large ones, but this tendency will be modified and partially cffse; by the absence of laws of primosenituTe and entail, so that distribution will still gocn to some 5xtent.
 "Ihe natural increase of cur popula- tion, If there were DO additions from immigration, would more than ufice to absorb sll our remaining surplus terri tory, and then the peril foreto.d by Ma csuley will bs upon us, when our sur plus population, no lanrer having great areas of free land over which 60 dl.TIse itself, becomes corRested m great cities and the contest between ia0or and cap ital, liberty and preroga:ive. Is waged with savage and ilcresslEg intensity"
