suRrwp GAME OF THE HARnIsoNs.

II Ia shrewdly suspected that the recent
editorial article from the pen of Russell B.
Harrison, 10 the effect that Mr.. Blaine would
positively not be candidate for the Reputi-
can presidential nomination, was an attempt
10 force the Secretary of State into taking
that position As is very generally conceded,
President Harrison is jealous of Blaine, and,
as he has good cause, fears Blaines
popularity before the nominating convention
more than he does that of any one else who
has been named in connection with the next
Presidency. Knowing full we'll too, that Mr..
Blaine, just at this time, is especially ANXIOUS
10 remain in the Cabinet, 80 that be can con-
duct the negotiations for carrying out his
scheme Of reciprocity-his pet idea, and
one from which he hopes to make
great reputation as a statesman-both
the President and his son, Russell, realize
that now is the opportune moment TO play
winning card. They reason, no doubt, that If
Blaine remains in the Cabinet, he cannot,
with any propriety, antagonize his chief, ana,
therefore it Is necessary either 10 compel
him TO make absolute and unequivocal de-
claration of his positive determination not to
to be a rival TO Harrison or 10 resign.
The hesitancy which Mr.. Blaine is showing
in making this announcement is an indication
that he has not yet finally made up his mind
which horn of the dilemma in which he finds
himself he is ready TO grasp. His friends have
been busy in making announcements for him;
but he himself has kept ominously silent.
Great pressure is beyond question, being
brought 10 bear on him to accept the noml-
nation, as his party leaders feel that he IS
almost Republican necessity in 1892 On
the other hand it is evident that for him now
TO leave the Cabinet would be a great sacrifice
of his personal ambition, and O surrender OF
one of the best opportunities OF his life 10
achieve desirable reputation, since he is the
father of the reciprocity clause OF the Mchln-
lev law. and that is the only redeeming tea-
ture of that iniquitous and deservedly unpop-
ular measure.
No wonder that Blaine hesitates; but he
must soon show his hand, and that unmis-
takably. The Harrisons, father and son, are
playing a strong game against him. and one
which displays more shrewdness than they
have heretofore been credited with possess
ing. He must speedily make up his mind
whether he had rather remain Secretary OF
State and carry out his ambitious plans, or
risk the great chances of defeat as presi-
Dental candidate, and, at the same time, per-
NIT the administration to enjoy what capital
there is TO be made out of reciprocity.

Man has indeed almost gone beyond him

frightened at his achievements at the powers

and that come to do his bidding.
This is no humbuggery. We are in the
worlds high noon and broad daylight. There
is no place for phantoms. fears, norprivileges.
In the broad daylight it is our high privilege
10 feed on the risen cream of all the past, 70
use the results, conclusions and experiences
of all who have gone before, and enjoy the
rich fruits of their labor OF soul and body
Our privileges are very great. and the great
consideration is. how shall we most improve

and study, and labor, have brought to pass

immortality and immeasureable greatness

ties must breathe the purest air, feed on the

ceptions, and spread himself as one of a royal
race. honored enough in the image he bears
in his infinite impossibilities He must send
ont his roots by all waters, and spread out its
branches toward Heaven.
The educated and trained man of our day
is.he whose mind is filed with highest posi-
BILE ideals. whose physical moral and intel
lectual palate is taught to distinguish between
good and bad, between what makes for health,
vigor. light and life, and that which makes
for weakness dizziness and death; whose
physical, moral and intellectual stomach can
thoroughly digest and assimhate whatever
makes for strength and force and power, and
for ability and weight
The man of our day is educated by all the
powers and lights and forces around him. He
considers the lilies and studies the sun, moon
and stars in their courses above him, and the
leveling of mountains and bridging Of chasms
on earth. He considers the least and con-
temples the highest. He worships him who
though he inhabits eternity dwells with him
that is lowly and of contrite spirit. The
man Of our day is the disciple of the general
world. the alumnus of Natures University.

POWER AND FORCE.

Perhaps the leading characteristic Of our
age is intensity. Intensity in everything
concentrated light, concentrated energy, con-
densed food collected and digested informa-
ton on every subject economy in material
in time, in space in everything. Our best APP
proved conclusions and principles are ex-
pressed in few words. Maximum and mini
num-" the least expenditures with the great
est results: Selection of the fttest," the
best means and agents for the best purposes
Conservation of energy"-that nothing may
90 out, that every blow may tell, that every
cent may count. and nothing be done or spent
in vain. Reserved force"-that there may
always be enough and TO spare. All these in
structions como from the Book of Nature
the Providence of God.
We, in our day, taught in natures school
'have no time 10 swap knives" no words TO
waste; no moves TO throw away.
In every department of human life compe-
tition is high loins must be kept girded, and
lights be made to burn clearly and strongly.
To be wide awake" is necessary TO keep q
man or woman out of the poor-house or

All this Is written over the face Of the world,
over the face of society everywhere, on every
thing. II is the hum of industry and the
martial music of progress.

THE Louisville Courier-Journal suggests
that the true method of determining the opu-
lation Of cities lis TO measure the tributary
population within such a radius, say fifty
miles, as would allow of suburban residences
for persons doing business at the centre"
This idea Of our contemporary is novel one,
and on examination does not appear to be
very sound but if generally accepted, it would
serve to swell the population of all the North
ern cities, and diminish the population Of
their adjacent towns. By thismethod Of COM
putation New York would have a population
Of 1921, 578, Philadelphia a population of
1,422.00i, Boston a population of $4,000,
Chicago a population OF 1.924,0OO. The SUI
burban town has not yet risen TO prominence
in the Southern States. The radius of fifty
miles therefore. would add little to the popu-
lation of our Southern cities if we included in
this population persons who did business in
the cities but had their domiciles in the neigh
boring towns.

THE epidemic of murder and suicide which
has for some time been prevailing in New
York city Is attributed by the press Of that
city to the depressing and maddening in
fuence of the grip, disease which has not
yet spent its force there. This is no doubt en-
exaggeration, but it seems highly probable
that the grip has had much to do with the
epidemic, as it has reached proportions which
can only be explained on the ground of the
introduction into the community Of some in
fluence that is of an unusual nature. Crime
has long been observed TO prevail in cycles
This is especially the case with suicides, ex-
ample having more powerful effect in the
instance Of suicides than Of ordinary crimes
The same principle, however, extends to raillx
road accidents and TO other series Of events
which are not shaped by design.
