Blaine's Uncomfortable position.


The conviction is gradually taking poses
sion Of the public mind that Mr. Blaine's
position in the cabinet is q very uncom-
Portable one Every once in a while some
thing, coming either directly or indirectly
from him, fiads its way into the public
prints, which shows that he is a dsap-
pointed and dissatisfied man. When
he went into the cabinet his friends thought
that be would be the real head
Of the administration, and there are reason 5
for thinking that he entertained some such
idea himself. He regarded himself as the
biggest man in the Republican party, and
be undoubtedly was Gen. Harrison was
regarded as a second-rate man by the great
bulk Of the party, and this estimate Of his
abilities was not very far from correct.
Though not great man, the President
is very stubborn one, and he has very
exalted notion Of his own Importance. He
apparently decided. when be offered Mr.
Blaine the most important place in his
cabinet, that he would do nothing that
would give Mr. Blaine's friends ground for
finding fault with the administration, but,
at the same time, he made up his mind TO
confine Mr.. Baine's power and in6u-
ence 70 the smallest possible limits. In
other words, he determined 70 make it i'm
possible for him to do the administration
any harm, or himself any good.
In pursuing this course the President has
shown more shrewdness than his best
friends gave him credit for. He has
squelched Mr.. Blaine, as it were. Mr..
Blaine cannot help his friends in any way,
tecause he has no power to make appoint
ments. His friends, therefore, have no
particular reason for singing his praises.
They sympathize with him, but are not
willing to make any sacrifices for him. He
can do nothing for them now, and there is
no prospect that he will ever be in position
to confer favors upon them If he were to
resign he would be no better off than he is
at present
The probability is, however. that he will
resign unless the Presidents attitude with
regard to him is changed very greatly. His
position is becoming intolerable. a man of
his proud and sensitive nature cannot stand
being snubbed very long 1t is the Presi-
dents purpose probably to force him TO re-
sign. The President will then feel abso-
lutely certain that the country does not
think that Mr.. Blaine is the real head of
the administration.

History of Memo rlal Day.

The hist Try Of Memorial day il the sout b
is generally known by southern people.
The is no conflict of opinion concerning
it, On March u, 1866, Mrs. Mary VIII
Jams, of Columbus, Ga, wrote to the
Columbus Times, suggesting that the GUS
tom of annually placing flowers upon the
graves of confederate soldiers be adopted.
At that time the graves of these soldiers in
Columbus were receiving some necessary
attention, and Mrs. Williams slid that the
work would be unfinished unles a day was
set apart each year to decorate them
with flowers. She said: 1--WE cannot raise
monumental shafts and inscribe thereon
the many deeds of heroism of our deed
soldiers, but we can keep alive the memory
of the debt we owe them by dedicating at
least one day in each year t. embellishing
their humble graves with flowers. There
fore we beg the assistance of the press and
Of the ladies throughout the south to aid
us in the effort to set apart a certain day
to be observed from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande, and to be handed down through
time as a religious custom of the south, to
wreath the graves of our martyred dead
with flowers; d we propose April &c as the
day." Mrs. Williams letter was impressive
and appropriate. Her suggestion met with
prompt and general favor, and was
adopted wherever there were soldiers
graves in the south.
The origin of federal Memorial day is
rather obscure. There are many theories
concerning it. A northern newspaper is
quoted as having said: Decoration day
grew at first, naturally enough, out of the
pathetic custom of a few southern women
who had lost their hu,bands and sons in the
war, and who found comfort, as Mary did
of old, in going to the grave to weep there "
This was disputed by Gen. Donaldson.
however, who said that the adoption of the
custom was due to the efforts of Gen.
George II. Thomas. In recent History
of the Grand Army of the Republic"
by an x-commander-in-caiet, Gen.
Robert B. Heath, it is stated
that in 1868 comrade living in Cincinna i
suggested to Gen. Chapman that the custom
of his native Germany, of scattering
flowers upon the graves of the dead, be
adopted by the Grand Army Gen. Chip
man consulted Gen. John A. Logan the N
the commander of the Grand Army, and
the result was an order on the subject. 1t
is said also that in May, 1865, Gen. John B.
Murray called together number of ex-
federal soldiers in Waterloo, N. Y, and
decorated the graves of their comrades in
that town. These are only few Of the
assertions regarding the origin of the day
in the north.
The custom, in both the north and the
south, bids fair to be kept up at least as
long as people live who lost near relatives
in the war.

The Fence Question.

About the only argument advanced by
the opponents of the mo fence" law that is
worth noticing is that many poor people
who now keep COW will not be able to do
so IL they are forced to rent pasture. The
number.o of such people is not perhaps as
large as the opponents of mo fence' would
like the publicto believe. And If the number
were quite large, as they assert, is the de-
velopment and improvement of the county
to be prevented in order that these owners
of cows may have the advantage of free
pasturei
g The county could better afford to fur
nish pasture free for the cattle of these
poor people than to have the mo fencen Law
defeated But these poor people will not
find the mo fence" law great hardship.
If that law is adopted great deal of land
in the vicinity of the city will be planted
at once In grass and rented for pasture
Indeed, the adoption of the law will stimu-
late the cultivation of grasses, and the poor
will be able to get much better pasture for
their cows than their COWS get now, and
the cost of it will not be burdensome
Ii the county were thickly settled and
fenced there would te no common pasture
ground. The poor, as well as the rich, would
have to rent pasture That is the condition
that exists in all thickly settled communi-
ties. 1t is considered no hardship in such
communities for the poor to have to rent
pasture for their cows.
If the ''no fence law is adopted, a great
part of this county will be under cultiva.
ton within few years. The result will
be that all kinds of vegetables and fruits
will be far cheaper in this market than at
present Cheaper food articles will bene-
fit hundred poor people where one is bene.
fted now by free pasture. Besides, the
cultivatable lands will afford living to
hundreds who cannot now engage in truck
farming or fruit growing because of the
cost of building and repairing fences.

Drs. Germont and Loer, who represent
NJ. Pasteur in his attempt to int oduce a
method of getting rid of the rabbit plague
in Australia, have returned to France, and
they are not pleased with the treatment
Pasteur received from the Australian gov
ernment Pasteur's plan was to cause
disease among the rabbits by the introduce
ton of chicken cholera. which, it was
claimed, would kill 20 per cent of the rab-
bits affected with it. Drs. Germont and
Loer say that the colonial government not
only by unfair means prevented the plan
from being adopted, but they opened and
took extracts from Pasteur's letters Of in
structions to them c. rmont and Loer)
