The only complaint that Mr.. Blaine ever
publicly made against the Mckinley tariff
bill was that it opened our markets free to
the products of South America and the West
IOdies, especially to sugar. whereas in his
opinion the free admission of these articles
should have been made conditional upon the
free admission of our products. In his hrst
To- ter to Senator Frye he said this about the
bill:
do not doubt that In many respects the tariff
bill pending In the Senate Is a Just measure; and
that most OF lis provisions are In accordance with
the wise policy of protection; but there is not
section or line in the entire bill that win open
market tor another bushel OF wheat or another
free list without exactIng important concessions
in return, We shall close the door for profitable
reciprocity against ourselves.
The bill was amended in the Senate ac-
cording to Mr.. Blaine's suggestions and the
am-pdment adopted by the House. Thus
the only objection iaised against the bill by
Mr.. Blaine was removed. Later Mr.. Blaine
telegraphed TO Mr.. McKinley's district urg
ing Mr.. McKinley's nomination, and subse.
quently went personally into his district and
spoke in his behalf. These are all facts Of
puolic record which nobody can deny. A
despatch from Washington In another col.
umn contains description of an alleged
scene In the room Of the committee on ap.
preparations in whic Mr.. Blaine is said
to have characterized the Mckinley bill as
m infamous measure, and, growing excited
sid If he were in the Senate he would spit
xpon it, predicting that If it was passed il
would send the Republican party to perdi.
tion and render its Presidential nomination
so worthless that it would go begging
Comparing this alleged occurrence with Mr.
Blaine's utterances before and subsequent, Il
is obvious that it could never have happened
and that Senator Blackburn, who relates tn,
the story, was the victim of halIucination
or has been drawing upon his Imagination
for his facts.

when 1t ought to be remembered, and that is
that Republican voters cannot be relied upon
to support men whose characters are
smirched or men who have proved untrue to
their public trusts, no matter how taut DO

widely from the average of Democratic voter
We do not mean to be understood that there

attachments for the place he was nominated

cratic voters of New York city long after
1t was practically certain that he and his
gang had been plundering the public treas

polls as they do for nobody else. The author

he combined opposition to Robinson
1884. Butler, in both years of his canvass
undoubtedly got many Republican votes !;
but after he had taken all he could get and
run the Democratic vote up to the extraordi-
nary figure Of 15O.22S the Republican party
rallied and met him with the astonishing
vote of 160,092; and the very next year 1t
did nearly as well, throwing for Robinson
159,3a5. This is clear 1900 better than
he Democrats do for young Mr. Russell this
year. So 1t would appear that nothing has
happened in Massachusetts, that the
Republican party is not perfectly
well able TO take care of when it gets its vote
cut. There is, how ever, one other factor to
be taken into account. In 1883 the Prohibi-
ionlsts cast but 1881 votes, while this year
hey cast 1885. 1t is generally supposed
hat the Prohibition vote comes entirely from

alleged Unclaimed Estates in Europe.

Alleged Unclaimed fsstaaes ~
II You fancy you are heir to a
vast unclaimed estate in Great
Britain, France or Germany, drop
the foolish notion. There are no
vast estates in Europe waiting Tor
anybody. In the British court OF
chancery there are all told no more
than 81, 900, 900 awaiting claimants.
In the bank of England are only
few small sums unclaimed, and
none over $4,000.
No poorhouse old woman ever
fell heir to S., 900, 900, and no
tramp's rich uncle ever died in
Scotland and left him 800, 900.
Fiction, pure action. A set OF
swindling scoundrels in Europe
feed on the credulity of US Amer
leans, who think we are so sharp,
and gull individuals into believing
their ancestors left vast sums OF
money only waiting to fall into
their laps. There are nothing In
it, absolutely nothing. These swim
dlers set all the stories going, they
always make the gulls subscribe
sums of money to prosecute an in
quiry which is never made, and
which would not amount to any
thing if it were made. These scoun-
drels get their living off credulous
Americans in that way. The only
way to get fortune is to get it
through your own exertions.

Along side of the criminal record
in the telegraphic papers is the
divorce record that attracts atten-
lion and affords wide field for a
thoughtful brain. The main plea
in the majority of divorce cases is
that of cruelty, desertion and
failure to support. 1t is unques-
tionably a fact that divorces are
often agreed upon between the
couple, one of them agreeing not to
defend against the accusations OF
the other and both are in this way
relieved of a yoke equally unpleas-
ant to both. If some compiler
would take list OF all the divorce
cases brought in the courts of the
land during the last decade what
a study it would be. The book
would do no good, perhaps, but it
would be a fruitful theme for
thought. 1t would be a sort OF
travesty upon life. In such a rec
ord could be seen the dark and
weird side of lite; it's disappoint.
ment, its broken promises and its
dark undercurrent that murmur
ominously as they flow. All
through such a record would be
visible the cofins of dead homes,
blasted hopes and shriveled hearts.
Married to-day, divorced to-mor.
row, is too often the history oi
many.
