NOTWITHSTANDING the frequent assertions
made that Mr.. Blaine is actively scheming and
maneuvering for the Presidential nomination
nextyear, the truth PROBABLY is that he is doing
nothing of the kind. There is large class of
people who will never believe that Blaine is not
acandidate until that astute and distinguished
gentleman has rounded his career in the in
evitable. Mr.. Blaine somehow to q greater
degree than any other public man now extant
has gained reputation which makes the
world ever ready to suspect him of ulterior
motives in everything he does and says. The
world seems to have made up its mind that
Mr.. Blaine's soul is always charged to con-
gestion with the electric ether of ambition
the ambition to be President. No lapse of
time, no change of circumstances appears
capable of expelling this idea. OF course
there are many events transpiring in different
sections of the country almost daily which
show that strong forces are at work for Blaine.
But it is not at all likely these forces have
been called into play nor that they are di-
rected by Mr.. Blaine, nor that the men who
are directing them act on settled plan sane
toned by him. The Blaine boom is result
OF various causes and of mixed motives on
the part of many men. The persistence with
which the Blaine shouter shouts for Blaine
as a Presidential candidate is no more mani
acal than the unchanging suspicion of his
enemies that he is always sin the race" The
remarkable growth of the Blaine boom in the
last couple OF weeks, there can hardly be a
doubt. is the outcome of desire on the part
OF those who are engineering 1t not 80 much
to secure Mr.. Blaine's nomination as to con-
solidate the anti Harrison feeling which is so
strong among Republican politicians. The
men who are most active In the movement
must know well that 1t is very improbable Mr..
Blaine's health would ever permit him to
again go through Presidential campaign, if
there were no other obstacles to prevent his
accepting the nomination. But they have
their own purposes to serve, and don't care
whether it is or is not Blaine's wish that his
name should be used. 1t is potent rallying
cry, and by its aid Republicans are CONSOLE
dated as they could be in no other way
When the time comes to make the nomina-
tion, the leaders will have the masses well in
hand, and If Blaine refuses to be candidate
the strength consolidated in Blaine's name
can be more conveniently transferred to some
other candidate agreeable to the manipula-
tors. This is the true inwardness of the
Blaine boom, probably, but how long the Sec
retary Of State will allow his name to be used
in this way remains to be seen.

SOLDIER VS.. VETERAN.
A Reminder That Most of the Veterans
Are Not So Very Old.

A Reminder That Most of the Veterans
Are Not So Very Old.
TO the Editor Of the Sunday Herald;
The National Encampment of the G. A. r,
at Detroit being over, certain criticisms pre-
sumo are now in order. The press generally
in alluding to members of the Grand Army,
were very lavish in their use of the terms
''Grizzled Veteran" old vet, ETC., yet such
titles are not appliable to the men who bore
the brunt of battle during the late war, for as
a rule such men are in the "prime Of life' nOaV
having enlisted when very young-at ages
varying from 16 to 20 years. The older men,
however, entering the service at middle age
and beyond, for the purpose, in a majority of
cases, of supplying the quota of certain en-
rollment districts, filled the place on the rolls,
but were never equal to the bodily strain re-
quired in hard campaigning and the tedious
marches, fatigues, and priyations incidental
thereto. They were therefore left In the rear,
and sooner or later discharged, being totally
unfit for the service, and to-day, If alive, are
the same old "Grizzled Veterans as of yore.
SOLDIER.

WHAT DOES TT MEAN2
Dangerous Counterfeit Which Has
Caused Officiais Much Worry.

Caused Officials Much Worry.
About four months ago there appeared in
nearly all the leading cities and many minor
towns two-dollar counterfeit of the silver
certificates. They were of that series which
bore a vignette of the late General Hancock.
Their execution was remarkably fine. The
engraver's work was so good, indeed, as to
be pronounced by experts superior to that of
the legal ISSUE A large number of these
counterfeit bills were put in circulation before
their fraudulent character was discovered. The
exact amount has never been ascertained, and
never will be because of their excellence.
The matter was finally reported to the
Treasury Department and experts from the
cash room and from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing were appointed to look into 1t.
They reported that 1t was the most dangerous
counterfeit that has ever been put forth. So
dangerous was 1t, indeed, that they recon-
mended that no more of the Hancock certif-
Gates be issued, and that all of them outstand-
ing should be called in. Not many Of them
were returned In conformity with the call
which followed their report
The holders Of them would not trust them
In the hands Of National bank cashiers and the
officers OF the sub-treasury because, as they
uCiu, buo COuuJtTltiUS were SUCH lac C-blUllleS
OF the genuine notes that even those Off
cials were liable to mistake in endeavoring
to distinguish between the two. For that
reason they said they might have what was
really genuine bill Cancelled to their loss.
The Secretary of the Treasury also directed
that a new certificate of the denomination OF
two dollars bearing the vignette of the late
Secretary of the Treasury Window be prepared.
Work on the plates for this new issue had
been going Oh for nearly three months before
came an order from the Treasury Department
to tbe Bureau Of Engraving and Printing to
strike of 250,000 impressions from tie old
Hancock plates. Exactly why this course
should be taken 1t is difficult to say. The
counterfeit plates have never been captured
and there is every reason to suppose that as
soon as its owners learn that Hancock notes
are being printed they will 60 to work again.
1t Is said by some that the work on the Win
dom plate was almost completed when work
was suspended. The demand for two-dollar
notes is greater than for those OF any other
denomination uttered by the Treasury

they stood by the Republican party through
thick and thin, year after year, returning to
Congress the agents Of the great manufacture
ing and railroad corporations, who voted their
principals everincreasing privileges and i'm
munites, The protective tariff was raised
higher and higher and the grasp OF the big
corporations on States and nation made more
secure. But year by year the burdens of the
farmer increased and he grew poorer and
poorer. At last he has been aroused to
thought and action by his misery. He has
discovered that something is radically wrong.
He has broken the spell Of blind and stupid
partisanship that held him so long, and in
which he became party to the public crime
of transferring the power of the State from
the people to the great capitalists. And now
he is eager to go as far, or farther, the other
way. With his manhood sapped, he rejects
the fundamental principle of American insti-
tutions and demands that the Government
shall support the people and not the
people the Government. He wants the
vaults OF the Treasury opened for his re-
lief and demands that the Government shall
become pawnbroker and money-lender for
his benefit. Ignorant or reckless of all
settled principles of business and govern
ment, some farmers of Elk County, Kas., the
other day got together and made the most alb
surd demand yet formulated by the prairie
communists. They petitioned the President
to issue legal tender Treasury notes to the
amount needed to pay off the farmers mort.
cages, said notes to be loaned to the people
at a low rate Of interest, the loan to be re-
paid in small annual installments. That
such demands as these can be made in serious
ness by American citizens is almost beyond be-
lief, although they are but little more wild than
the sub-treasury plank of the platform of the
Farmers Alliance. That plank has already
split the Alliance in many States, and the de-
mands made by the Elk County farmers and
other similar outcroppings of wild financial
ideas will drive from 1t all conservative men
who understand and care for American insti-
tutions.

Warned by their Dying Brothers.


The study of insect life has revealed the Gu
rious fact that humble-bees and certain kinds
OF wasps can warn their companions of dan
gers which the originator of the alarm failed to
survive. A crushed ground humble-bee (bons-
bus troglodytes) will emit peculiar musky
odor which at once prompts its surviving rela-
tiyes to convene an Indignation meeting and
dispatch messengers in all directions to inves-
ugate and If possible to ayenge the outrage.

much annoyed by the buzzing of bombus
colony In wall Immediately below his study
window, aVailed himself of that curious in
ders and exposing them on table in the cen
tire of the room, which was soon filled with
legion of winged avengers. By means of a
prearranged string he then closed the window
and suftocated the buzzing Malta with painful
OF burning sulphur. The bodies of the victims
filled a pint cup, and the survivors soon re-
moved their nest.

HybrIdizing Flowers.

Meehan's Monthly.
One of the most interesting occupations for
the lover OF flower gardening is the raising of
new varieties from seed by hybridizing. Their
lationship must be near, as for instance, two
kinds of roses two of geraniums, of fuchias, or
OF other plants. It'll best to open carefully the
petals day before they would do this Of
themselves, cutting off the anthers with
slender-pointed scissors, and then busting the
stigma with the pollen from the flower of the
other kind to be used in the operation. The
stigma VIII, In all probability, not be in a re-
ceptive condition for day or two, but the
pollen will remain in perfect condition until
it is. This has been found much safer plan
than the one usually employed for enclosing
the flower in gauze net to prevent the use OF
foreign or the plants own pollen by visiting
insects, and then apply the desired pollen
after several days. The garden geranium, OF,
as the books now generally say, "zonale pelar-
gonium," J" takes very readily to hybridizing or
crossing, and much pleasure can be had from
experiments with them in watching the bloom
ing of the seedlings.

the civil service law. The system which now
prevails of making clean sweep of the letter
carriers in the free delivery cities every time
there is change of postmaster is a disgrace
These changes are made at the demand of the
small local politicians, and they must be
highly damaging to the service, while they
