PENALTY OF POLITICAL FAME.

We know of nothing moro worthy of gen.
eral reprobation in the tone of the sensational
branch of American journalism than It's dis
position to create false impressions as TO the
mental and physical condition Of leading pub
lie men. In most instances this disposition
has its origin simply in desire to insert in
public print something that will attract gen
eral attention and excite universal remark
from the prominence of the individual in
volved. In other instances the only motive
is a malevolent and malicious one.
The TBiEs has no sympathy with the politi-
cal principles of Mr.. Blaine, and no admira-
ton for certain sides Of his moral character,
but all who desire fair play and favor truth
must condemn the treatment to which the
Secretary has been subjected since the be-
ginning Of his present attack of sickness.
When his family have barred out the prying
intruders the report has been spread abroad
that Mr. Blaine was rapidly approaching his
end. and therefore it was desired 10 remove
him from public observation. The most con-
Trajectory statements have appeared from
day TO day, one set of informers necessarily
being consciously and Intentionally false in
their account of the health Of the Secretary.
Harrassed by the groundless and uncalled-
for statements as to the condition Of his mind
and body, Mr.. Blaine has held formal inter
view with a representative of the Associated
Press and sent out specific denial of the ru-
mors which have been so thick for several
weeks in consequence of the intellectual
rather than the ocular energy Of the represen-
tatiyes of a number of papers which are anx-
ious 10 see Mr. Blaine withdrawn from the
path of Mr.. Harrison.
The penalty of great political distinction in
this country is so severe that such fame is no
doubt regarded by many who have won il as
a burden rather than cause for congratua-
ton. Nothing in the life % a public man is
considered sacred or private. Everything
connected with him is dragged against his
will into publicity, and he Is perfectly help
less to prevent it. The intrusive spirit which
accomplishes this is as cruel and heartless as
it is vulgar, mercensry and malevolent. This
spirit Is in measure a national disgrace.
Public opinion really condemns it, but there
seems to be no means Of eTectually interdict-
ing it,

1t is undeniable that the American farmer
has had much in recent years to dispirit and
dishearten him. A bare enumeration of the
evils which he has had to contend with and
overcome furnishes q decidedly melancholy
catalogue
There is the evil of overproducfon. which,
Cutting the markets of the world. has brought
the prices in every branch Of agriculture down
to the lowest point. Then there is the evil of
an excessively high tariff, which has raised the
price Of everything which the farmer has had
to buy.
Then there is the increasing irksomeness of
rural isolation which has fostered n desire to
remove to town insearch Of those fortunes with
their attendant luxures and comforts which are
not supposed to be in reach Of the man who
tills the soil. Then there are the legislative
inequalities, the tyranny of political bosses, the
selhshness of certain class interests
Then there is the evil of having to carry
such heavy load as Jerry Rusk, with his
weather probabilities. his bags of miscella-
neous seeds, his diseases of hogs and horses
and his explosive balloons Then there are the
grasshoppers taking possession of broad sec
tons Of fertile country, covered with waving
wheat and maize, without an adequate supply
of turkey gobblers to destroy them before
they have completed their ravages. Then
there are the droughts which have not vet
been exercised by the continuance which has
been invented by the Agricultural Depart
ment.
In short. there are a number of evils
which are seriously diminishing the prosper
ity Of the farmers. Suffering from all these.
whether originating in the actions of men or
In the operations Of nature, il is natural to
indulge the hope that they will as a class and
rs individuals be exempted from additional
ills.
What must have been the emotions of the
farmer near Gettysburg, PENNSYLVANIA. who
according to recent report, laid himself
down under tree in his fields TO take mid
day nap and awoke TO find that swarm Of
bees enveloped his head. Before he sank
into slumber his mind was very probably en-
gagged in considering the great burdens which |
those who followed his occupation had been
compelled to carry and then to be aroused |
by the fact that his head had beeen made a
settling point for thousand bees, must have
convinced him that the evils of his lot had
not been fully computed.
The sagacity which be showed in rolling
himself down the hill as means of Kidding
himself OF his unusual covering is. we hope.
but reflection of the energy which all his
class VIII exhibit in throwing of the obstruc-
tons from which they have been suffering.
A. the case now stands. some Of these evils

EDwARD BURGESS, the designero of the yachts
Puritan, Mayfower and Volunteer, is dead.
This is great loss to the yachting fraternity.
for he stood at tho head of his profession. 1t
is said of him that he left nothing to chance
in the construction of yacht. but solved
every problem submitted to him on scien-
tifc principles, and had gained by expert
ence such knowledge Of the essentials to
fast sailing that there was every reason to
expect that in the future he would excel all
his previous efforts. He was the designer of
many fine yachts, but his fame will rest upon
the great success he achieved in the design
ing Floats built expressly and successfully
for the defense of the Americas cup.

enveloped the head of the Gettysburg farmer.
This is notably the case with the existing
tariff. Let the farming class initiate as body
its Gettysburg compatriot and metaphorically
roll itself down the political hill and thus rid
itself of conditions which if not removed will
continue to blight every form of agricultural

FRED DOUGLASS has resigned The natives of
Haiti were too black for him to associate with.
and as they have been free from white in
fuences long enough to have lapsed pretty
well into barbarism, he does not like to live
among them. This is Mr.. Harrison's oppor-
tunity. Senator Blair is out of job and is
also great negrophilist. Let the President
by all means kill two birds with one stone
and give Mr.. Blair Douglass place. This will
provide acceptably for Blair. while it will
greatly relieve the President.
