The sorrows Of blaine.

Brother Blaine has been having more
trouble with his Pan. Americans. When
he allowed them to 60 off without him to
Niagara Falls, it was with express in
struetions to the manager in n-oharge not
to permit them to get into mischief on
the Sabbath. But the willy Erastus
Wiman seduced the unsuspecting agent
into allowing the Pan-Americans
to dine with him at the Cliff
ton House, where he not only had a lot
of Canadians to meet them, but actually
made them free speech. Naturally the
agent is in state OF terror. He has
telegraphed to Blaine that he did not
mean 70 do il and that Wiman is a bold.
bad man But the evil seed is sown an
there is no telling what pernicious crop
it may produce ia the Congress. No
wonder that Brother Blaine is oppressed

Morning News admits that God is assist
ing the Democratic hosts in their fight
for honesty and economy. and quotes:
"God moves in mysterious way His
wonders to perform" 1t Is not a new
fact, though strange TO the News, that
God, intelligence, virtue and honor
are joined with the Democratic
party on an issue Of honesty
and economy. It is not strange that Pre-.

respectable company. 1t would be strange
If he were not there. President Eliot is

Of Pre- gident Eliot of Harvard College
flonl this Republican party is notable
political event. All Of the great seats Of
learning now favor the Democratic prin
ciple of politics. All professors and all
students of political economy advocate
reduction of the tariff There is no school
of political economy worthy of the
name which advocates protectionism.
That is only advocated by mercenary men
from selfish motives. President Eliot
says:
Now, between the Republican policy
as regards the nstional taxes and the
Democratic policy there is clear choice,
the two parties being sharply divided
upon this subject and avery man who
holds my opinion with regard to protec-
tive taxes must in good conscience join
the Democratic party.
The detection from the Republican
party has been unprecedented It's only
hope is in its wealth. lts rich men buy
or influence the poor and then make re-
prisals on the public by indirect taxes. In
such situation men like President
Eliot and George William Curtis
cannot do otherwise than join
the Democratic party. Within the next
two years the detection will be still
greater f the Republicans DO not reduce
the tarif. The statement Of Senator
Sherman few days ago indicates chat
the Republican party will tack to the
wind and do what It had been denounc-
ing the Democrats for advocating

The prejudice against red hair is both
ancient and widespread. For centuries
the popular mind throughout Europe hes
associated hair of this unlucky color with
uutrussworthiness and deceit. An old
Latin collection of Proverbs" by Henry
Bebel, published in Germany in 1912, has
the following: "Raro breves humiles vidi
ruffosque fideles." Proud are the short,
and Enthusiastically the red-haired.) The
Italians have milder saying; "Capelli
rossi, tutto foro tutto mosci." (Red
hair. either ell fire or all softness. There Is
an old French rhyme, dating from the seY-
enteenth century, which says:
Homme roux ct femme barbue
De trente pas lion lie salue.
Avecques trios pierres au poing
Pour ten alder ton besOign.
Salute a red haired man or bearded wO-
man at 80 feet off with three stones in thy
fist to defend thee in thy need. The
same sentiment OF dislike and distrust
is found continually cropping up in our
own literature. Itdid not pass altogether
without rebuke. Writers on vulgar el-
rors occasionally denounced the prelu-
dice, and a Gsscon writer and soldier Of the
seventeenth century, Cyrano de Bergerac,
the author of various numerous and satirl-
cal pieces, boldly praised and glorified the
depised color. His work on the States
and Empires of the SUM- was translated
into English, and in it he says; "A brave
head covered with red hair is nothing else
but the sun in the midst OF his rays, yet
many speak i'll it, because few have the
honor TO be So" Aud, agsin, that 1sxen
hair betokens fickleness and black oosti-
macy; bat between both, he says, is the
medium. "Where wisdom in favor OF red
haired men hath lodged virtue, so their
flesh is much more delicate, their blood
more pure, their spirits more clarified
and, consequently, their intellect more
accomplished, BECAUSE Of the mixture OF
the four qualities"
