What Blaine Must Do.

We begin now to understand what the
administration organs want. Mr.. Blaine
may say that he is not n candidate for
the Prcsidency-this will not satisfy
them. lie may say that he would not
accept the nomination-this will enable
them to lift up their heads. What they
demand of him is that he shall declare
that nothing less than INSTRUMENTATION
of President Harrison will save the
country from irretrievable ruin. Thus
far Mr.. Biaine's health has not been
vigorous enough to permit him to say
this loud enough to be heard above the
sad moaning Of the sea at Bar HarbOr.

Bile for the ruin that was to be wrought
in this country by the Mckinley tariff.
Then some of the foolish Britishers sat
them down and waited to see the ruin
begin.
According to the 81. James Gazette the
bolt has fallen, but not on American in
dnstry. 1t has struck British trade
with this country, and hit it hard.
Their loss is our gain. Instead OF buy
ing from them certain manufactured
articles, employing their labor and en-
aiding their capital to earn returns, we
are employing our own labor, helping
our own capital, strengthening our own
country. This the s.. james Ga1ete at
tributes directly to the Mckinley tariff,
and in this it is right.
The American who would upset this
situation should spell himself with the
smallest he can find. The Mckinley
tariff is on the right line. 1t means the
American market for Americans before
al the world.

WHEELING. AUGUST Il, 1901.
The chicrorPoIlce and the Committee


The chief Of police, recognizing the
indignant public sentiment which de.
manded his retirement from the Office
he has fugrantly and persistently dis
graced, bccomingly offered his resig.
nation to the Council committee on
police. At the some time he promised
that if given another chance he would
discharge the duties Of his office in
strict compliance with the law. The
committee dealt with him onthis basis,
and this ends the episode.
Mr.. Dclbrugge has twice been elected
to the office he now holds. Each time
he offered himself for the SURFACES OF
the people his candidacy was of itself a
pledge as strong as that which ho made
last night. After each election he took
an oath to perform faithfully the duties
OF his Office! His pledge of last night is
no more sacred than his oath. The
committee seems to think it is. 49,, e.
So far as the committee could it has
lifted the burden from the chief OF
police and taken it on itself. Not
man on that committee needed to be
told that the chief of police had for
feited his place; that he had done all
he could do to demoralize the police
forSe and bring it into contempt. Mr..
o'Kane was the only member of the
committee who seemed to realize the
gravity OF the situation, what the chief
OF police asked the committee TO do and
what the committee had been played on
to induce it to do.
The committee closed its eyes to the
whole public side OF the matter and gra-
ciously consented to see nothing hut the
disgraced officers side Of it. He had
cut loose from every obligation that
should bind n man 10 decent life.
Having been caught SO that denial would
have been futile, he confessed and ask
ed chunce-not chance to fall back
into the ranks OF citizens who hold no
Office, but to remain in the important
position he has disgraced. The COM
mittee, seemingly under some peculiar
spell that made it deaf and blind, grant
ed him all he asked. 1t is a remarka-
bic and disappointing outcome.
