 Between hot and cold; between longing; and disgust; now on the crest of a wave: of confidence and now in the trough, shut out from all sights except a patch of, leaden sky overhead; now ready to boom out his sails, wing and wing, and run fast before the wind toward the golden, sparkling, fruitful isles of his waking and sleeping dreams, and now in spiritless ap- prehension of rocks at the harbor' 'smouth preparing to abandon the quest; these all. formations have been Blaine.
 It is still true that he could have com pelled the Chicago convention to nominate him if he had given the order. None of the other candidates had his claims and none approached him in the number of delegates already pledged. He had nearly enough to nominate him on the first bal lot-perhaps quite enough if he wished to call them all out. But the western delegates have not faith in his ability to conduct winning fight and the southern delegates are of the same opinion lie
 could not have thrown the convention
 into whirl of enthusiasm and the streets
 of Chicago, though the convention might
 have been formally respectful, would
 have heard some of the bitterest, most
 contemptuous words ever flung at a po- litical leader in his own party.
 Blaine has the absorbing desire to De president most human beings have for the pleasure hanging just out of reach. but he fears the political death of a de feat. Gresham must make 8 bargain with Blaine before he can be nominated, and the bargain made, neither side would trust
 the other. If Ager would promise sub servience and has quarter of million
 to spend he may be the man as well as another. After Blaine there Is no eastern man within distance length of first place. Of the western men Sherman has just enough support to be too far up for 1 dark horses rush and too weak to get l his nose in front. Allison has not pros ] pered. Harrison has nothing but the l chance of rank fuke. Gresham has to deal with Blaine. That quarter of g
 million makes Alger tlre most useful oi
 candidates to his party in an uphill fight So, after all, it may be Alger.-Kansas ! City Times.

RIafne'S POpu1arity.

Whilst Mr. Blaine's popularity in his own party is undeniable, it is also inde- fensible. Great parties cannot afford the leadership of men whom the people do not trust. To have renominated MT. Blaine for the presidency would have been to court defeat. He was as cordially hated by one portion of his party as he was blindly followed by another portion, and there was no hope of getting enough Democratic votes for him to make up for Republican Philadelphia Re- cord

But They Won't Have Their Way.

A Republican is very ready with consti- tutionai amendments He thinks no moro of the constitution than of the truth, and whenever he finds either in the way of his projects he is out with proposed amend. mennt if it is the constitution, or calmly commits deadly assault if it is the truth. Give Republicans their way, undeterred by fear of contest, and in five years there would not be enough of the constitution left to keep The Federalist in print Kansas City Times.

One Thing Certain.

A man who has spent the best years Iof his life and lost fortune striving to become the president of the United States does not give up his striving just at the moment when success appears to him to be fully assured. The Republicans may believe MT. Blaine's fattering prophecy if they can, and no doubt they will brace up and make an effort that way. But it may be set down as certain that MT. Blaine himself, though he may deceive some who desire to be deceived, is not himself under the illusion of Republican victory.-Bos- ton Globe.

<, The principle" on which the Repubh- can campaign is to be fought out is the vicious and utterly unconstitutional prac- tice of raising vast sums of money for which the government has no need, and trying to find ways to squander them to satisfy the politicians of localities and en- rich horde of unneeded officials, plunder- ing middle1nen and jobbing contractors. .- New York Star.

SUPREME COURT ON PROTECTION.

In 1872 the city of Topeka, Kansas, wished to encourage home industry, di- versify the pursuits of her citizens, and build up home market for the Kansas farmers. Accordingly donation of $1O0,- 900 of city bonds was made to a bridge company to induce it to locate it's manu- factory in Topeka. Some theorists ,'' who were taxpayers also, objected to being taxed to pay these bonds and went to law about it. The case went to the Supreme Court of the United States, and was de- cided in 1874, Justice Miller delivering the opinion of the court. The case is reported in 20 Wallace, p. 655. Speaking of the taxing power, Justice Miller says:
 "The power can as readily be employed against one class of individuals and in fa- vor of another, so as to ruin the one class, and give unlimited wealth and prosperity to the other, if there be no implied limi- tation of the uses for which the power may be exercised.
 To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen. and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enter prise and to build up private fortunes is none the less @ robbery because it is done under the forms of law and is called taxa tion. If it be said that benefit results to the local public of town by establishing manufactures, the same may be said of any other business or pursuit which en- ploys capital or labor. The merchant, the mechanic, the inn-keeper, the banker, the builder, the steamboat owner, are equally promoters of the public good, and equally deserving the aid of the citizens by forced contributors. No line can be drawn in favor of the manufacturer which would not open the coffers of the public treasury to the importunities of two-thirds of the business men of the city or town"
 It thus appears that the highest court of the landhas decided that tax levied upon the people of city to encourage manufac- lures IS robbery" By the same logic, @ tax levied by congress upon the people of whole country to encourage manufacturers is robbery" In the case of the city how ever, the people have remedy for the abuse, and by an appeal to the courts, as Ill the Topeka case, the schemes of the robbers can be foiled. But when poli- ticians in congress, under the pretense of raising money for the public needs, abuse their power to tax flch money from the people at the rate of $10O,OOO,OOO per annum more than is required for public purposes, the object being to University our industries" encourage manu. factures" and "build up home market, ,
 etc., there is no remedy but the ballot
 Men who vote for such schemes of robbery are not fit to legislate for free people.

Where London Policemen Come From.
The majority Of the metropolitan po-
lice have come straight into the force
from the country. 1t is found that coun-
trynen make the best policemen. The
born Londoner is of very little use. His
nervous temperament would disqualify
him, even if his physique were satisfac-
tory, { nd it is a wull established fact
that in physique the Londoner is sadly
deficient. He is not to be compared in
height. breadth OF chest or muscular
tone with the average young man from
the country" As for his nerves, they
are simply worthless. They are already
strung up to their full limit of endur-
ance. We have heard the same thing
said Of bus drivers-that London men
cannot stand the work, and that the
best drivers are those who have been
drought up to horses in some coun-
try stable 1t is the opinion of officials
well able to Judge that in the whole
of Whitechapel there could hardly be
found a single man fit to be a police
man. The strong arm, the stout heart,
the cool head, the steady nerve. are all
wanting in the Londoner; and the proof
of it is to be found in the comparatively

admitted or, being admitted, can remain
in the police force. Naturally enough,
the recruits are chiefly men drawn from
the country round London. Kent fur
nishes goodly number; so do Essex,
Hertforishire, Sussex and Hampshire.
There is an authentic instance of con-
! stable who hailed from Orkney, but
| probably he came by sea. With this ex-
ception there is scarcely man in the
force who comes from the country north
of Glasgow. That city abscrbs all the
tall men who want to be policemen, and
so In their respective districts do Liver
pool, Leeds, Manchester and the other
large towns of the north of England. 1t
is not till we get south of Birmingham
that the attractive force of the metropo-
lis takes effect-St. James Budget.
