The Antl-Blaine Cabal

AS Mr.. Blaine's political strength
grows his physical powers, according
to the stories that are circulated by
persons who desire that some other
man receive the presidential nomina-
ton, become weaker. For the last
two weeks the Secretary's health has
been steadily improving. Within the
last two days, however, four county
conventions in Pennsylvania have un-
equivocally declared in his favor. On
top of this comes the announcement
that Quay and McGee, the two Re-
publican bosses in the keystone State,
have determined to swing the Penn
sylvania delegation for Names dis
tinguished citizen. Something had to
be done by the enemies of Mr.. Blaine,
and this morning report comes from
Bar Harbor that he is worse and that
an eminent specialist from Florence,
Italy, has been sent for in hot haste.
The hand of the INSCRIPTIONS Repub-
llcan cabal is plainly seen in this
work. Scarcely ever in the history of
the country has there been an exhibi-
ton of a more shameless character.
The anti-Blaine cabal will stickle at
nothing; its members are trying to
hound the statesman to his grave.
Should they succeed in their attempt,
however, they are likely to find that
Mr.. Blaine's ghost, like that of Ban
quo, will not "down" at their bidding.

HOTEL DE FLANDERS. ANTWERP,
Re1Ujum ,July Sth. 1891. {

| Belgium, July Sth, 1871. J
| This paper was given me in the Hotel
de Vile this afternoon, and | want to be-
gin writing on it at once. 'Tis the kind
| used by the Mayor or BurgOmester of the
| city, We went through the building; our
guide was very pleasant lady who spoke
| English and French almost as well as her
own language. She told us the legend OF
Antwerp. May be you've heard it, but
III repeat it anyway. There used to be
giant who seized every one who came
near and cut off their right hand. Finally
a young hero came along and cut OIL the
giants right hand and his head and threw
them into the sea. There is statue rep
resenting the victor Just in front of the
ca rved everywhere - hand werten Ito
throw )-that's where the city gets its
name. There are the large council cham
ber, reception rooms, NAV or's room-all
beautifully decorated with painting and
wood carving. Some of Rubens' work is
to be seen everyWhere-you know this is
his town. In the Hotel dc Vile the most
interesting room (tO some of us at least)
was the room where everybody who is
married III Antwerp must 90 to haYe the
ceremony performed; rich or poor; it
makes no difference They all have TO go
before the mag istrate in that room. They
can have another ceremony in the church
if they choose. On the walls were beau
tIful paintings representing marriage rites
of different times. First, the old Druid
custo.l, then the Roman early Catholic
first in Antwerp royal wedding OF the
fifteenth century, and there is one to be
completed, the first civil wedding, that OF
Napoleon, our guide said, We Gidn't
reach here until five o'clock this after
noon, so the cathedral is left for to-mor-
row morning.

week and freely commented upon the
Pope's letter OH the condition of Ia Dor.
He disagreed with the dictum of Bishop
Carrigan OF New York who had announc-
ed, from his pulpit, that the Pope con-
demned the single tax; for the Pope made
the ownership of land inseparable from
occupancy aid use, the very things the
single tax would insure. very strong
effort is being made here to commit The
Alliance and the Democrats to gradu-
ated income tax, but about the Cnlv kind
of an income tax we shall get is that re-
ferred to by John Stuart Mill in Political
Economy, book V. and chapter ILL.,:
Suppose that there is a kind of income
which tends to increase, without exer-
ton or sacrifice on the part of the own
crs, these owners constituting a class in
the community, whom the natural course
of things progressively enriches, consist
emily with complete passiveness on their
part, in such case it would be no violation
of the principles on which private prop
erty is grounded, if the State should ap-
propriate this increase of wealth, or
part oft, rs it arises. This would not
be, properly speaking, taking anything
from anybody; it would be merely apply
ing an accession of wealth, created by cir
cumstances, to the berefit of society, in
stead OF allowing it to become an unearn-
ed appendage to the riches of particular
class" Now if that's the kind of income
Scott Wike and the Democratic party
want to take for public revenue, i'm lieu of
the tariff, all right: for it is exactly the
kind of an income tax we call the single
tax, the only just system of raising rev.
enue for public use.
Ii must try TO see the REGISTER oftener,
| have learned to use my tongue, if any
thing more readily, than my pen, and
have more invitations to speak than farm
work will allow me TO accept, but it does
me good to see how things are moving.
Let us get Il move on. Last presidential
campaign the Republicans wanted us to
take protection in allopathic doses; the
Democrats wanted us to take it in homeo-
pathic doses, but before '92 the Republic
cans will have sugar coated the stuff with
reciprocity, and the Democrats will have
none of the damnable quackery. Ia! ia!

Don't Want a Third Party.

Our county Alliance met in Jacksonville
yesterday, and, after eiecting delegates to
the State meeting in October at SPRING
field, the committee on resolutions fail
ing to report anything, a member moved
that the representatives be instructed to
oppose ali third party movements that
might be made there. The motion was
promptly seconded, and, though the op-
position tried to prevent its being put, it
was pressed to vote and carried by a
very large majority. The mover said
that before starting new party it would
be better to instill a little new life into
the old parties; and to make them, in
stead of opposing each other tor the sake
of office, emulate each other in reaching
some remedy for the present unjust dis
trbutiou of wealth. Beside we were not
yet sufficiently agreed upon any specific
measures to constitute an issue, or issues
distinct from those made by other parties.
He would strongly favor the adoption at
the State meeting of a set OF resolutions,
and if neither of the old parties would
suuarely adopt them 1t would be time
enough for all Alliance men who consid-
cred the measures sound to nominate
their own candidates. This would be
easily done in this state where we now
had the Australian system of election.
His closing exhortation was for the ALI
ance to go slow, and to be sure and not
90 off at haif-cock.
Picnics are ripe now, and you have your
choice between the religious and the Sec
ular. Your correspondent was called to
the stand at Catholic picnic one day last

entrance. In the yard were old lnscrlp-

a bust Of the poet over the flag stone
which bears the inscription. We saw the
identical book and page where his bap-
tism is entered April 26, 1864. The writ
ing was so queer we couldn't decipher it,
but the warden read it for us. In the
church yard is a real yew tree, and stole
a bit OF a branch. We passed through
the garden of New Place, where the i'm
mortal William once sat and wrote. OF

where he sat, the desk he sat behind i'll

state III which they've been these hundred
years. Upstairs there is portrait OF hlm
which, in the time of Cromwell, had an
other picture painted over it. On one of
the window panes is scratched the name
of Walter ScOtc among any number ofless
famous ones. As Interesting as anything
else was the old grammar school. School
is in session now. We went through four
rooms, The masters were young men in
long Oxford gowns and the one who con-
Quoted us around was very polite and
agreeable. The whole place looked as
though it might have remained unaltered
since ShaKespeare's time. Two of the
girls took fast walk to Shattery to see
Ann Ii Hathaway's cottage; the rest OF us
were too tired.
This afternoon we've been to Oxford.

Oxford from Suatford, We saw Christ

M Dear Ones AL
Last night we saw a bit of London by
lamp-light. The stores We're open until
ten O'Clock. and Professor Powers Went
with few of us girls to do some shop
ping. | wanted to find small satchel
that | could carry over my shoulder. The
linen bag will have to suffice as it has done
(though very crowded., for | can't find
anything.
What will you think when tell you we
all went to hear Canon Farrar, archbishop
now, believe, this morning? He holds
services in St. Margaret's Chapel, near
Westminster Abbey. We were there be-
fore the doors were open, so we went into
Westminster and heard the beginning OF
the services there. The outside of the
building is very beautiful; to- o-morrow we
expect to go through it. When the doors
were open we went into St. Margaret's.
Then we had to stand until eleven. Wis
itors are not allowed 20 take seats until
the organ begins. After the long Episco.
pal service we had a sermon upon the
periIs of middle life. The text was from
the ninety-tirst Psalm, "He shall not be
darkness nor for the destruction that
Wasteth at MONDAY '-dwt ling especial
ly on the last part. Twas powerful
address, given in the most vigorous anu
vivid language, in a voice that was pecul-
iarly clear and full and distinct. He
showed how none are safe from the power
of temptation, the sins of youth still cling
to us. We are never secure until we abide
under the shadow of the Almighty
DAVID and Solomon he gave as examples,
along with many of recent date well
known to many OF his hearers. He said
that criminals differ from the rest of u>
only in that they are found out. A great
sin is only an epitome of lesser sins that
went before it. Morality without religion
is plant without roots. | think that part
of the service is very effective in which the

of the most moving in my life. Geo Nc

wigham is Released and the Alleged
Forgery simply Explained.

The charges of forgery preferred by j.
McCombcr against William Wigham, both
former employees of ex-City Engineer Silk
rud, were quashed yesterday and on
motion Of the district attorney the prisoner
was released from Jail.
Wigham's talk of conspiracy on the part
of the ex-city engineer, his partner, Horace
Phillips, and MeComber TO send him to
the penitentiary is knocked in the head.
The arrest of Wigham is shown to be a
mistake pure and simple.
J. McComber and c. McCaully were both
employed by Stixrud. McCaully can
neither read nor write and, owing to the
similarity of names, mistake was made
in paying the men, McCaully being given
two checks, his own and McComber's.
McCaully went to the bank, was identified
by WighaIn, and the cashier paid over the
money and accepted the checE with Nc
Caully's mark and Wigham's signature
thereon The mistake was made known a
few days ago, when IN looking over the
books il was shown that McCaully had
been paid twice. Mr.. Phillips Immediately
went to the district attorney, made know n
the mistake, the proceedings were dropped
and Wigham was last night released from
the county jail.
wigham says lie will institute suit for
damages against ex-City Engineer Stixrud
for false Imprisonment.
