WASHINGTON, Feb. 1G.-Secretary
Blaine is succeeding admirably in max
. ing himself as unpopular with the horde
OF officeseekerS and their friends as the
president. Discourtesy is becoming the
distinguishing characteristic of every
department of the administration. The
cabinet ministers have taken their cue
from the executive, and infection has
spread through every ramiication of
the service. Mr.. Carter, of Montana,
and Mr.. Du Bots. of. Idaho. are endeav-
orlng to smother their ebullient wrath
at the secretary of state. The secret of
their soreness is to be found in the ac-
ton Of the state department On a GER
tain appointment. Mr.. Townsville
Wildman, editor of the Boise City
(ldaho) Statesman, has been Endorsed
by them and by a number Of Western
senators for the position of consul
at Monteyideo. The late Walker Blaine
had arranged the whole matter satisfac-
tOriiy, the papers were all made out,
and only lacked the signatures, when
Mr.. Blaine's death upset all calcula-
tons. Walker Blaine used to see every
one and treat them all with the utmost
courtesy. Not so his father. Another
man was appointed to the Monteyideo
consulate. and Mr.. Wildman was told
to select some other place. Messrs.
Carter and Du Bols went to see the
secretary of state at his Office. They
waited four hours, while other men
who arrived after them were admitted
to the august presence. Becoming dis
gusted at their treatment they departed.
Later they called at the secretary resi-
dence, but were refused admittance.
Now they are hot in the collar. Senator
Mitchell.of Oregon,is another disguised
man. He is one of Mr.. Wildman'S most
ardent supporters, and, having failed in
several attempts to see Mr.. Blaine,
wrote him a letter, to which he has not
been favored with reply, although
several weeks have elapsed since his
writing. These three men are feeling
very hostile towards MIR. Blaine on ac-
count of the cavalier way in which they
have been treated. They are saying lit
tie about it. however, being afraid of
the plumed knight. They recognize his
great popularity, and fear the effect
upon their constituents of any open ex-
preston of diSapproyal or hostility. Not
only this, but they are afraid to antag-
oniZe him on account of the probability
of their some time wanting something
else at his hands. Therefore they give
no open expression to their wrath, but
keep it suppressed in their breasts,
where it is fermenting and becoming
hotter as days go by.

MONDAY CHATTER.

A lady nearly old enough to recall
the issue of Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation. but born abroad, one day
the past week, with some show of in
dignation, related that another had
sought to impose upon her an absurd
story. A colored woman and child were
passing, and looking at them the sup
posed narrator OF fiction had said that
she could remember when such persons
were bought and sold like horses and
cows in this country and make to work
without pay. The story was not be-
lieved, and the nearer came with it to
an intelligent friend in whom she had
confidence, expecting to hear it denied.
She seemed almost unable to credit the
history given her. Such lack of in
formation is probably rare, but those
who have ever seen slave are not a
large element in any Northern eommu-
nifty. A generation has grown up that
was born since the gaunt. elongated
man whose birthday was noted last week
babe four millions of slaves to come out
into the arena OF self-dependence.

NOT In POLITICS

The United States attorney of Mis-
souri, declines to act as delegate to the
state convention of the Republican
league, for the assigned reason that it
is unbecoming in a federal official to
participate very actively In politics.
The league is not representative body,
and does not present candidates for
Office. Its members are understood to
be mostly gentlemen who want Office
and may claim consideration for the
special activity connection with the
league imports. The chief &C complish-
ment of the leagues in the last cam
paign seems to have been to provide
debts with DO assets to extinguish them.
But this Missouri Republican presents
sensible reasons for declining to act in
the convention, whether they had much
basis in his case or not. He agrees with
Mr.. CLEVELAND that there is such a
thing as ''pernicious activity" On the
part of officials in the management of
politics. 1t will be we'll to get rid of
the idea that the men who hold the
offices are paid to operate the political
machines. 1t has not been very extern
sively realized under this administration.

BOOK NOTICE.

Niles school Biographies have be-
come so popular that those interested
in the cause of popular education will
welcome his latest addition to the school
series. 1t is a school history of the
United States, and is admirably pre-
pared for school instruction. 1t is writ
ten in most pleasing style, is COM
prehensive, accurate and inspiring
in its statements, and is written with a
clear view of causes and effects in his
tory, while patriotism is the watch
word of the book. Still, the mighty in
fiuence of great inventions and blood
less triumph OF peace in the progress of
American civilization have been made
quite as prominent as the sto-
rieS of devastating wars. 1t en-
joys the additional advantage of
being thoroughly non-partisan. 1t is
above prejudice and colored statements
inspired by political bias. The methods
of study are such as to compel teachers
and pupils to self-reliance, clear under
standing Of the subject, and good
command Of language. Published by

THE BUIWARK.

The protective theory, at least In its
earliest periods in this country. was that
duties to repress competition from
abroad were but temporary, to give new
industries start. They would soon
stimulate home competition. and this
would reduce prices without any rela-
ton to the duty. In cases where this
result was being attained the parties
who were competing have gotten to-
gether and pooled their interests. A
combination or trust has been formed,
and the prices held up as long as the
tariff kept out rivals outside. An iliustra-
ton of this is afforded in the minor article
of starch. The manufacturers met in the
East week or so ago, and found that
they were competing with each other,
and prices were so reduced that the
and 211S-cent-a-pound tariff did not cut
any figure. So they combined, and pro-
posed to put up the price, as high as pos
sible without inviting foreign competi-
ton. The tariff is their bulwark.

CAN'T SPARE THEM.

Theoretically, many in the South
would like to see the colored people
very largely avail themselves of migra-
tory schemes. The farmers and manu-
facturers in Virginia. or the peach
growers in Delaware, would cheerfully
indorse scheme to deport: the blacks
from South Carolina or Florida to
Africa, Oklahoma, Guinea, or any other
region they might prefer; but let an
extensive movement Of this kind be in
angurated in their midst and they are
at once in the soup for lack of the main
reliance for essential lines of labor
For some reason the migratory fever
has been most notable in North Caro-
lima. Emigration agents have stirred
up the blacks. and some thousands have
gone from the state. The planters are
having trouble to secure the needed
help, so much so that they insist that the
emigration agents must cease their
efforts or themselves constitute a rapid
migratory force. In many sections no.
tees are posted warning such persons
to let the colored people alone, and not
try to entice them to seek new homes.
Near Weldon one of the emigration
agents who was addressing the negroes
in schoolhouse was forced by the
whites to leave. In Franklin county the
planters have organized to keep out
these enticers of their dependence for
labor. OF course this is :unjustifiable,
but it shows that the South, under
present conditions. could not dispense
with the colored man. He constitutes
the main industrial artery, and his
migration On any large scale would serI-
ously impede the development and pros
perity of the country. 1t has not been
noted that any locality has made a
movement to promote the migration of
any portion of the colored population.

Fooled by Faces.

theaters of this city, one night the past
week, was overheard by a passer to re-
mark to her companion in response to
some comment about the actors, THAT

sad history that runs along that line.
1t reaches back to the first Edenic pict-
ure. If Eve had been a homeiy gum

Still, who would willingly have them
less frequent or captivating? Life
would be shorn OF its chief charms if
there were no pretty faces. What if
they are fragile and transitory? So is

the sky. The memory of them is a per-

Value of City Realty.

It is novel incident in the evolution
of present metropolitan life that great
hotels are to be removed to give place
to the modern tall business blocks. A
case of this kind is reported in Chicago
and a somewhat similar one in St.
Louis. The Grand Pacific i'm Chicago.
that cost we'll towards million dollars
and has always been spoken of In con-
nection with the Palmer as the two
leading hotels of the lake city, is to be
torn down. although always we'll filled
with guests and paying the lessees
handsomely. The location has become
so valuable that the hotel must give place
to sixteen-story business block. This
indicates an enormous valuation of the
ground. No rival to it can probably be
found in any Eastern city. 1t leads
even New York in grand buildings,
such as its new auditorium and high
business edifices. The oldest and form
erly the leading of the large hotels of
st. Louis. the Planters, is so located
that it is found profitable to devote the
site to business uses. These afford an
index of the value of realty in the early
future in other Western centers, like the
Twin Cities.
