Blaine Not in 1t.

Franz Leslies Hlas,fased Neuspaper, of
which NJ. Russell B. Harrison, the Presi-
dents son, is one Of the proprietors, says in
an editorial article.
LISA violation Of no confidence to say
that Secretary Blaine is not a candidate for
the Republican nomination for the Prasi-
dency next yesr. That is a settled fact.
No, only is Mr Blaire not candidate,
bet under no circumstances viii he consent
to the use Of his name,
Ifthere seems to be any doubt in the mind
Of the public in reference to this matter. Mr..
Blaine viii, in due time and in his own way,
utterly finally, and absolutely disPel that
doubt. He is ready 10 DO so now.
When Mr.. Blaine was called to the most
important place in the Cabinet he wrote, in
reply TO the Presidents letter rendering the
appointment (which letter clearly outlined
the Presidents viewsl, slatement that dis
tinctly implied. in the clesrest terms, un-
questioned and unbended iealty to the head
Of the Administration, and by no act word,
OF intimation has Mr. Blaine, at any time
since, LEFT his loyalty open to the slightes;
suspicion.
Mr. Blaine, by virtue Of his position, is
the chief and most intimate adviser Of the
President. If the latter will accept renomi
nation be will have no stronger, abler, and
constant supporter than his Secretary OF
State.
So much for a prediction that the history
Of the immediate future viii amply justify.

Creditors disappointed.

MEANWHILE, Pa, May 3.-The proposition
f Delamatsr & Co. TO settle with their un-
secured creditors on 50-cent basis has fallen
trough. The terms of this proposition
we're that It should be unanimously accept
d BY May /, and meeting Of The creditors
vas held Friday evening at which il was
hown that only about go 600 Of the money
emained unsigned for. The committee
proposed to assume the responsibility for
hat amount, and demanded of Delsmster
& Co. that they consider the proposition ac-
-pied and proceed to fill their part Of the
pntract.
Ex Senator C. W. Delamaier Withheld his
eply until yesterday, when he stated to the
ommittee that the terms Of the proposition
,ad not been complied with, and that the
-ends who had promised to assist him 10
aaking the first pay ment of 10 per cent
could not consent to having the time for
ecuring the balance Of the signatures Of the
creditors extended.
The failure Of the Delamaters TO make
GOOD their proposition has caused great er
'itement. II is firmly asserted that the
,roposition was only ruse TO gain time,
nd that the unsecured creditors will real
ze very little on their claims.

Jessup, one Of the most prominent citizen:
Of the town, has gone insane He was taken
violently i'll q few days ago. but refused to
allow doctor TO come to the house and
reiied solely on the faith cure advocates who
surrounded his bed day and night Jessup
at length conceived the idea that he was a
second Abraham and that the Lord required
a human sacrifice.
On Thursday he constructed an altar out
Of his bedroom furniture, around which
he piled heap Of combustibles. Then he
caught his little erandchild year old, and
placed her on the altar and prepared 10 ig-

Having predicted that the Mckinley Tar
if law would bring in a revenue so gresI
that the Treasury would be filled with sur
MUS. and having found its predictions Who'll
~ unfuiilled, the free trade press has nov
iaken the other track, and is crying out tha'
the Treasury is so nearly empty that it vii
soon be unable to pay its obligations.
Iis cold day when our brethren Of tbc
opposition do not discover some Overwhelm
ing impending d" calamity about to befa
the country on account Of q Republican ad-
ministration Of national affairs. Unfortu
naiely for their credit as prophets the CA
larnities never occur. From 1860, when
they predicted the dissolution Of The Union
as the certain result Of the election of 4 =
/ publican President, down TO the presen
time, their aspiring prophecies have provei
more croakings Of disappointed and dis
1 gruntled elements.
The latest calamity waich is recorded an
prs,ed about is the silliest of all. There l.
according to official statements, S75l, 100000
in the Treasury OF which large part i'
trust money-as, for instance, $4,000 OOl
Of gold and silver on which certificates ar
issued-but S25s, 900 600 belongs 10 the gov
ernment absolutely, and is available to met
lis obligations Our calamity prophets hay'
set down the amount of money available il
the Treasury at various sums, ranging from
slOO00.000. to SlO0. 600 600, and il is singu
larry confoanding feature Of their croakin
that no two of them present the same fix
ures.
The country has always been safe as to it
finances with Republican Secretary of th
Treasury. 1t was under Republican Secre
tary that means were found TO prosecute tn
war; under another that specie resumption
was accomplished; under another that
policy in relation to silver was adopt,'
which promises 10 lift it to 3 level with gol
! in due time. The country is still safe as re
CARDS its finances, because the only DEM
cratic administration in a quarter of a cenl
ury did not dare TO change the Republica
Treasury policy, and we have an able r.
publican financier once more at the head {
that department Whatever else the Reput
lican party may have done or left undon'
no truthful accusation was ever made thu
il was unequal to the grave task of manal
ing national finances. and all the hue an
cry about surplus and deficit will ne
scare the country when the real facts as {
money on hand and the Republican recor
are considered.

AT the Tariff League banquet in New
York last week, Senator Dolph mapped
out the issue in the Presidential battle
OF 1892 as follows:
The issue upon which the next Presi-
dental election will be fought will be
precisely the issue upon which President
Harrison was elected and Mr.. Cleveland
was defeated. The contest then WAS be-
tween the system of tariff legislation adj
vooaied by Mr.. Cleveland, known as
tariff for revenue only which is but
another nHme for free trade, and the
principles enunciated in the platform Of
the Republican National Convention.
And ] am confident-eonfdent because
I have faith in the good judgment and
patriotism Of the people of this country
that when this issue is again squarely
put before them, with ample opportunity
for discussion, as well as TO refute mis-
representations from free trade sources
when the last tariff legislation has had
time to vindicate itself, and its trium-
phant vindication is assured as anything
in the womb of the future, am conf
dent, ] say. that the result viii be an in
creased majority for protection"

a woman named Mary Am Lopez, the night
Of the marder This room was across the
hall from that occupied by the woman

information in the possession of the police,
II appears that the murdered woman's com

insanely jealous of her He heard her com
panion leave the room, and shortly after
wards he got up, and, leaving his roommate
Mary Lopez, asleep, crossed the ball and
deliberately strangled and disem boweled his
victim. This story is subslantiated by the
following facts:
When "Frenchy No. 1" had completed his
work, he recrossed the hail and entered the
room No. 3S In that room he left the evil
dences Of his guilt. When the police made
