HOW HE WILL LOOK AT 1T

1t is given out by some Of the eminent
gentlemen from the West who have
just visited Washington and been given
confidential seances with Mr.. BLAINE
that he is taking his own diagnosis as
the great eligible for the Minneapolis
nomination, and is to reach a definite
conclusion before the holidays. The
only question with him is as 20 his
physical capacity to endure the strain
of campaign and the arduous labors of
the executive Office. As it is stated, he
would have assurance that his life
would not be the forfeit of his
ambition. He remembers that HAIR
RISON the elder, an old soldier,
survived the much less severe ordeal
but a month, and Gen. TAYLOR sue
cumbed in a year and a half. Others
have gone almost direct from the White
house to the tomb. In all the history of
the country he will find hardly an in
stance where an eX-preSident has
reached very advanced life. The
ADAMSES may afford a partial eXcep-
ton, but the duties of the Office were
comparatively light in their time, and
Mr.. BLAINE has a different physical
constitution. He would evidently pre-
fer to be a live secretary Of state than
dead president. The two living ex-
presidents became so at much earlier
period in life than he can enter upon
the office, and will afford little encour-
agement to BLAINE. But another point
will have serious consideration in the
mind of the secretary. Can he be elect
ed if nominated? He does not want to
go through a campaign to meet the con-
cluSion of his former one He is an adept
Ill the elucidatiOnOf election tables, and
those afforded by the voting since the
passage of the MCKINLEY act are
far less suggestive Of Republic
an success than were the similar
ones before him four years ago
when he shrunk from the passage.
From the dates given, it may be inferred
that he looks 10 the incoming Demo-
cratic house to afford him useful data.
He may have the cOnceit that some
laundering course will be taken to help
out the Republicans. Any disposition
not to give tariff reform the unembar-
raSsed field he may count as factor in
his structure. So far as the present
status of the deciding states is con-
cerned, he will find little basis for con-
fldence. He will concede to the
Democrats the l59 votes of the
South and the Northern states
that voted against HARRISON. He will
then ponder over New York and Indi-
ana. The former has just voted, in face
of the impOrtunate Republican need
for next year, more decisiyely against
the Republican party than in any con-
tested election for a third of century.
Indiana has been also throwing out the
Democratic colors at every opportunity.
Mr.. BLAINE foots up the Democratic
figures now and finds 226, or three more
than elect. He finds also a half-dozen
other states in doubt. On the other
side, he has only his reciprocity device
to throw in, besides the agencies of 1884.
His December conclusion is not clearly

SIR EDWIN ARNOLD.

Edwin Arnold, it is said, smokes when
he writes editorials. He differs in this
from some editors who make other peo-
pie smoke. "-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Sir Edwin Arnold glories in the fact
that he has written at least 5000 edi-
toriai leaders, each of which has been
over half column in length.-New
York Press.
Sir Edwin Arnold has repeated his
assertion that he would rather be
Journalist than an archbishop or lord
chancellor. We wonder what he would
rather not be than be a poet.-New
York Press.
Although a newspaper man by pro-
teSsIon, Sir Edwin Arnold has declined
to be interviewed by newspaper men
since his arrival in New York. He is
uniformly courteous to the fraternity
anu gracefully excuses himself from
talking about himself on the plea of
modesty or lack of time.-New York
Telegram.
one odd experience in the life of Sir
EDWIN Arnold seems not yet to have
been brought out in the course of his
visit to New York. To win a wager
made with lady he climbed 1900 feet
to the top of Full San, in Japan. and
wrote on the edge of its crater a picthr-
esque poem of ninety-two lines. Few
poets ever attain to greater heights than
tins. even IN imagination.-New York
WO rid.
L he resemblance of Sir Edwin Arnold
TO CHARLES Dickens attracts general at
tentlon among New Workers who have
the opportunity of comparing the ap-
pearance of these distinguished En-
gllShmen whose visits are a generation
apart. If Sir Edwin is so much better
a speaker. according to American ideas;
than most OF the other lecturers Great
Britain has sent or lent us, it may be
because he is so much better journal
lst.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Sir Edwin Arnold was entertained Dy
the New York Press club the other
night, and in some remarks made in re-
Spouse to toast in his honor he told a
story to illustrate the enterprise of the
British Journalist of today. There was
a reception at Marlborough house, and
Sir Francis Knollys stepped up to the
Prince OF Wales and informed his rovaI
hlghneSs that there were some gentle
men of the press outside who desired
admission. "Show them in" SAID the
prince, for il they don't come in at
the door they will come in at the venti-
latOr. "-ChicagO Tribune.
Sir Edwin Arnold says of the late
Earl Lytton: 1.-The earl was brilliant,
snowy sort of public man, but do not
think there was any great depth to his
knowledge Of craftsmanship. | do not
consider the dead earl as a great au-
thor, nor do believe he so considered
himself. AS Owen Meredith ne wrote
many things which partOok of his brig Int
and gay nature, but, like it, with little
depth. He is certainly not to be COM
pared with his great father. who pos
sessed literary genius, while nothing
more than talent can be attributed to
the son.

A PHASE OF LIFE.

"E. P. Bassford, the architect had a noe
turnal visit the other night" said neighbor
yesterday. 1T was a woman, as is known by
the tracks in the snow alone for she omitted
the ordinary convent Qualities. She neglect
ed TO ring the bell, to leave her card-in fact
failed to aeQuaInt the family of her call.
She walked silently into the back yard and
with her departure soon disappeared the
contents OF a clothes line-little chiidren's
stockings, underwear and miscellaneous ap-
parel. Mr.. Bassfords servant girl was greatly
distressed by the occurrence, and reported it
with indignation.
"'You say some one has robbed the clothes
lIno?' asked Mr.. Bassford with surprise.
Ives. sir; taken al the stockins and thin
of the blessed little uns, replied the girl tear

lam glad-she took them, and ne straightway
gave Mrs. Basstord money to buy q new out

THAT is characteristic of Mr. Bassford If
he were millionaire he would see to it that
no poor unfOrtunates suffered for the neces-
saries of life in St. Paul. As it is, 1 ha We
known Of many charitable acts he has done
His store is not large, but he is always willing
to divide with the deserving needy, and it is
apity there are not more people in the world
than there are with a heart as big and as
kind. If the wealthy would look around q
bit they would find hundreds of families suf-
fering, under their very noses, for bread
just think of it. Men with large families
nave only earned S1-25 a day during the sum

ployment, while now they can get scarcely

WHAT MAY BE.

AS we'll as LOUIS JAMES filled the
parts that had been taken by w. j.
FLORENCE in the plays presented in st.
Paul the past week, there could but be
regret at the absence of FLORENCE, and
that no more would he be seen on the
stage. When the JEFFERSON FLOR
ENCE company was in st. Louis, some
little time since, the two great and IA
Vorite actors spoke their parts in the
two plays just given in this city into a
photograph. The other day, while low
ing hands in an Eastern city were ten
derry laying away the remains of FLOR
ENCE in their final resting place,
other admiring friends i'll st. Louis
were listening to his voice as
Sir Lucius O'Trigger and Ezekiel
Homespun. The tones were so dis
tlnct. and the intonations so perfect.
that it could hardly be realized that the
admirable persOnator of those charac-
tiers was not really before them. There
is nothing unfamiliar in the preserva-
ton of the human voice in the phono-
graph, and the only surprise is that it is
not oftener done. Itmay have practical
uses, as we'll as those of curiosity and
sentiment. In this instance of FLOR
ENCE and JEFFERSON it may be known
by vocal illustration just how two
OF the greatest players interpreted
the parts of the chief characters in
these standard plays generations after
they have passed away. So with other
great actors. Then, as in Shakespeare,
questions as to the original pronuncia-
ton Of many words would be avoided,
and learned and exciting controversies
obviated. Had the photograph been i'll
existence when the classic Greek and
Latin were living languages, there
would be uniformity and certainty in
their use. The possibilities are al
most unlimited when the record
ing instrument shall be so cheap
ened and perfected as to bring
1T in common use. The speeches
of great orators may be treasured in
their original vocal strength, and liter
ally go down the ages III their resonant
power. 1t would be a great lesson in
oratory to hear DANIEL WEBSTER de-
liver one of his mastery speeches.
Then i'll political campaigns men like
BLAINE and CLEVELAND could speak
great speech into a photograph and
have it recited in original potency at
the gatherings of their parties.
