SET AT REST.

The interview with Mr.. Blaine at Boston
should set at rest reports that there is a
combination, which includes the President,
to drive Mr.. Blaine to private life. Mr..
Blaine says distinctly that the President
and himself are warm personal friends and
agree perfectly upon all matters of natural
good. So far from being jealous of Speaker
Reed, he gives that gentleman an indorse-
ment which places him higher in the ranks
OF Presidential aspirants than the general
opinion of his party has accorded him.
GAS a Republican," says MIR. Blaine, Il
am with him heart and soul If he Is NOM
mated in 1892, as many expect, / shall
eagerly support him." Mr.. Blaine is evil
IDENTITY wiser man now than when he and
Mr.. COnklng thong hit there was not room
in tie party for both of them. For many
years these two eminent men devoted their
best energies to the work of killing the
other off. Blaine kept COnkling from
coming back to the Senate and Conkling
returned the blow by taking the electoral
vote Of New York from Blaine when the
latter was Presidential candidate. Blaine
is now just GO years old, disciplined by ad
veTsity and disappointment, larger man
intellectually and morally than in the years
when he made himself the Idol of his party.
He has gained a position from which he
can view a rival without fear in the serene
confidence Of the belief that "the best man
will win"

THE NEW YORK PREss- LAW.


The execution ot-&emmler teaches law
makers a,-iesson. The same Legislature
Which substituted death by electricity for
death by hanging also passed law for
bidding New York newspapers pub
fishing detailed accounts of executions.
The idea was that these long stories of the
last moments of criminals on the scaffold
was demoralizing, and that they actually
promoted crime by eleyating felons to the
rank of heroes, and ineiting thoughtless
youths to emulate their example. There
was something in this. The old hangngs,
at which the entire population of town
assembled TO watch the last ag0nies of one
who was executed, were obviously calcu-
lated to harden the hearts of spectators
the crime of the culprit was forgotten in
the applause which bis demeanor aroused
when lie "died game" But these debas-
ing spectacles are now only witnessed in a
few frontier settlements. In all large cities
executions are private: no one is present
but certain witnesses who are Summoned
officially by the Sheriff The reason which
led TO the passage Of the New York law
had ceased to operate before the law was
passed.
And it chances that in the very first exc
CullUu lIfdl uuS tdhcu pldCS oluCC LlICu III
New York the circumstances called Tor a
full publication of the details. If the law
had been obeyed tile public would have re-
NAMED in ignorance of the important fact
that in this case at all events, elec[rOcn-
ton had been failure, that it might be so
in 9th er cases, and that. therefore until the
electricians improved their methods, il was
prudent to return to the old practice.
Three papers in the city OF New York-all
evening papers-eomplied faithfully with
the law, and contented themselves with in
forming their readers that Kemmler had
been done to death by electricity. If the
morning papers had followed the example
there would have been no general agitation
for repeal of the law, and New York
Sheriffs might have gone on for years tor
turing criminals TO death.
1t lakes lawmakers a long time TO learn
the simple lesson that newspaper prOprie-
tors are generally the best judges of what
they should print in their papers. and that
the less til Legislature interferes in gen.
eral matter, the better for both press and
public. A publisher who fills his sheet with
improper matter quickly learns that he has
made a mistake. As to the public, they
need far less guardianship by the authOri-
lies than Legislatures sometimes imagine.
They are quite competent to protect them
selves against pernicious reading No one
is compelled to read or to take home to his
family journal whose perusal is likely to
prove mischievous Lawmakers may safe
ly leave TO newspaper readers the business
of selecting reading for themselves. The
New York law will probably prove dead

WHY MORROW SHOULD NOT BE
NOMINATED.

The greater part of Inc Democratic news
papers are in favor of the nomination of
Morrow by the Republicans. They want
him nominated because they think he is
the only man whom the Republicans can
elect in his district to Congress. The cir
Gumstance that Mr.. Morrow in the event of
his nomination would have to resign his
seat in Congress does not disturb the
Democrats in the least They have no OBJ
lection to a chance to fill the vacancy with
a Democrat The AltG says that as Mor-
rows term of Office extends. hHi.s few
months longer at best, Il5e fact that his
nomination viii. ca9 9cai him to resign has
no weight IN his friends. If Mr.. Nor
r9SSs- Should be nominated he will doubtless
resign early in November. There would in
that case be a vacancy in the Fourth Con-
gressional District during the second ses-
sion of the Fifty-frst Congress. During
that session tie bill Mr.. Morrow has Just
reported TO exclude Chinese perpetually
viii come up for consideration. The
chances of passing it win be lessened by
the absence of its sponsor. MIR. Morrow
repres ents in Congress the district which
has five Chinese for one in any other dis
trict in the State OF nation. If the district
is in earnest in its opposition to Chinese
immigration, as has been represented, il
should keep the man in Congress who is
best equipped TO put the bill through. OF
course a special election may be held and q
new member elected; but what would a
new member amount to in the two months
the session will continue? Mr. Morrow,
as an experienced member holding good
place on two important committees, can
lead the anti-C Chinese forces with better
chances If success than any other man in
Congress can command, with the possible
exception of Mckinley, the acknowledged
leader of the House. The Chronicle joins
our Democratic contemporaries in urging
the nomination Of Morrow, but i'll man.
ner so dictatorial that its support does
Morrow more harm than good. No one
knows what is the object of the Chronicle
in advocating a line Of policy which will
create vacancy in the Fourth District and
expose the central counties to a charge OF
trying to secure all the principal Offices in
the gift of the State. But it does not much
matter what the object of that paper may
he. The Chronicle has always been per.
sonal organ, used to advance the personal
interest of its proprietors. In that respect
it is TO the Republican party what the E1
0ndner is to the Democratic party.

Miss Julia Curtin Horsewhips a Couple
of Young Men.

Miss Julia Curtin Horsewhips a Couple
of Young Men.
NEW HAVEN Comm, Aug. 1.-During
the last few days numerous complaints
have been made to City Attorney Daily by
young men who have been publicly horse
whipped by an enraged young woman. The
trouble dates back about two months ago,
when young man named Frederick Miller
and a young woman named Julia Curtin,
whose sister is tile wife Of Miller, appeared
before City Attorney Daily and asked for a
warrant for the arrest of one William Bren-
nan on charges preferred by Miss Curtin.
Brennan, learning that a warrant was be-
ing sought for his arrest, suddenly left
town. Miss Curtin next heard that num-
Der of stories were being circulated
about her character Last Thursday night
Beck" Miller, a chum of the Brennans,
was standing in front Of st. Johns
Church when Miss Julia, accompanied by
her brother-in-law. appeared. Without a
word of warning the girl drew rawhlde
from under her cloak aud siashed Miller
across the face. When Miller tried TO defend
himself tie girls brother-in-law jumped
in and held Miller while Julia slashed
him to her hearts content. Miller then
went to the City Attorney for warrant
for the arrest of the girl and her companion,
but Mr.. Daily told him he had g3t what he
had deserved. John gallagher, another
youth who had circulated stories about Miss
Curtln, w5S~alsO vigorously rawhided last
Saturday. The girl asked Gallagher why
he had been talking about her. The reply
was not satisfactory and she struck out
with the whip and raised heavy welt
across his face. When Gallagher attempted
to resist she drew revolver and Gallagher
betouk himself to tiigh. in short order.
Miss Curtin is built like an Amazon and
says she will cowhide any and all persons
who have circulated damaging stories about
her-St Louis Post DESPATCH

NOT IN CONFLICT.

The Alta says: There is no doubt that
Mr.. Blaine sees the error Of his opposition
to Dir. Cleveland's tariff reform policy"
The evidence upon which this conclusion
is reached. is derived from Mr.. Blaine's re-
ciprocity views as expressed in his letters
on that subject Mr.. Blaine sees, as does
any one who looks. that our trade with
Brazil and other South American countries
is one-sided. We buy Of them much more
than we sell TO them. Among the things
We buy in large quantities is sugar. The
Republican leaders in the House propose to
admit sugar free. Mr.. Blaine suggests that
as we already admit most of the products
of those countries free we make reduction
of the duties on certain American products
by these sugar-producing countries condi-
ti0E upon which we consent TO admit their
sugar free. This is the extent of Mr..
BIaine's conversion to tariff reform. The
statement has been made by Brazilian rep
resentatives that in consideration of free
sugar Brazil would SO reduce the duties on
American manufactured goods that our
merchants would eventually get the bulk Of
the trade. A reciprocity where such condi-
tions exist is not In any way inconsistent
with our general protective policy.

FLORAL SOCIETY,
Vines for Home AdorDment-The Benefi-


cent "Aphis Lion"
The State Floral Society held its stated
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon in the
State Board of Trade rooms, with President
{. J. Wixon in the chair.
The committee appointed to request po-
lice attention to the numerous thefts of
flowers from gardens and cemeteries re-
ported that Chief Crowley had promised to
give the matter immediate attention.
An obituary prepared by DR.. l.. 6. Yates
of B. S. Williams of London, England, a
leading flower sayant, was read.
The Committee on horticultural Census
presented a report, which will be forward ed
TO the authorities at Washington, and re-
port in favor of holding floral exhibition
by the society at the coming Mechanics
Fair was also presented and accepted.
An essay by Mrs. NJ. y. Childs of Santa
Barbara on vines for home adOrnment was
read recommending the following varieties
for the purpose: Tecoma jasimlnodes,
Manderitha sauyelous, Adlumica currhosa,
DelytTa, FecuSrepeus and Ampelopsius
quinquefolia, or Virginia creeper.
The expected essays on cacti and succu-
Tents and on irrigation of gardens were not
received, but will probably be in readiness
for the next meetiog. The Chairman
showed specimens Of the ''Aphis Lion"
beneficent insect. Some handsome stocks
of gladiolus were also displayed in stands,
which had been sent in for exhibition by a
lady member. The society then adjourned.

yesterday morning with deep wound in
his forehead. After having the wound
dressed he wandered into the old City Hall
in quest of warrant for the arrest of an
negress living at JOG Hinckley place. He
said he had recently sold her S13 worth of
