Adieu, red brotheri You are going to join the
Mastodon and the Icthyosaurus. Some day, In
the great yonder of approaching years, you viii
have TO lie over little further in your geologi-
cal bed and give place to the last specimen OF
the bald and perfected Caucasian, who with a
wild whoop yields up his uneasy life, and with
his labor-saving machinery and his saleratus
bread he will lie by your side, Mr.. Lo. So step
forward little farther, red brother, and give
the pale face chance along with you to hold on
to the straps as the great car Of progress moves
onward, or else pitch along in your rocky bed
and give room to the gentlemen who today is
acting as your agent and undertaker.-BM Nye.

the year of the last Democratic majority.

we're held during that year, and casting
balance, on the head of the tickets in the
several states the plurality for the Demo-
Gratis over tho Republicans reached the I'M
paralleled and stupendous total of more
than $1,000 To be sure, more than one

latter there was no opposition ticket

The legislature at Olympia is discussing
prohibition of railroad building and liquor
selling. The laws of Iowa are perfect
models TO be followed. Only one mile of
railroad was built in that state last year,
and the clearinghouse returns of Des

show a decrease of nearly per cent. from
the corresponding week of last year.

Baltimore VIII Give Him a Reception
and 4 Silver Service.


BALTIMORE, Feb 22,-Ever since
Senator German accomplished his great
feat of generalship in the United States
Senate his admirers at home have been
trying to devise a suitable testimonial in
his honor. The idea was taken up with
enthusiasm, and various suggestions
were made by prominent politicians
and influential business men. Even
some well-known Republicans, who
were pronounced in their opposition to
the Force bill, expressed their desire to
participate in the testimonial If it were
to be for Marylander who had done q
great service to his country and brought
honor to his state and if it was to be
without offensive party features. Some
suggested a silver wreath, but the propo-
sition which for a time was the most
popular was a banquet.
Now, however, it is proposed to sub
stitute for the banquet public recep-
ton after Congress adjourns, at which a
superb silver service will be presented
to senator German.
Perhaps the principal consideration
which has led to the change Of pro-
| gramme is that banquet such MS the
| occasion would warrant would be an
expensive luxury for admirers Of the
senator, whose purses are not as plump
as their enthusiasm is pronounced. a
banquet, therefore, might be regarded as
too exclusive to be genuine popular
demonstration. A reception would be
more democratic. Anybody may attend
and anybody may subscribe any amount
he chooses, big or little, to the fund fol
the purchase of the silver service. a
banquet might result in some otfense tc
some of the less wealthy brethren; il
might leave heartburnings because OF
the conspicuousness OF one and the
obscurity Of another. Nothing like this
could happen at a reception, and, there
fore, for these and other reasons, Mr.
Germans friends here deem the substi
tute proper one.
AS well-known Democrat remarked
playfully; "You see, it will be a gooc
rehearsal for the receptions Mr.. Gormar
may have to hold in few years at thu
White House. He will have an admir-
able opportunity to get his elbow il

TINE MARINE KNoCKED OUT.
Young Mitchell slugs La Blanche for 12
Rounds When the Latter Quits,

lhOhilttsY WHEN btlt A4htbNE SAtahSs
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Feb. 20.-The
California Athletic Club tonight re-
sumed its monthly contests, which have
been discontinued since September last.
The principals in to-night's event, for
$4,000, We're George La Blanche, "The
Marine" and Johnny Herget, better
known as Young MITCHELL San Fran
cisco middle weights.
The fight took place at the old gym
nasium of the club, which has not Teen
used for this purpose since the Billy
Murphy and Frank Murphy contest.
"Mitchell' had the advantage in height
and reach, and the fact that he is about
10 years younger than La Blanche made
him IA slight favorite in the betting, but
the Marines well-known rushing powers
and his ability to stand punishment suf-
feed to make the betting light
Both men trained faithfully to reach
the required weight, 1914 pounds, and
some fears were expressed that La
Blanche had reduced too much. The
Marine expressed confidence in his
ability to fight strong, even at las
pounds.
The fighting was hot from the start
and in the first round when La Blanche
was given terrible blow in the mouth.
In the II rounds La Blanche was
severely punished. About the middle
Of the 18th round, few blows having
been struck after little tiddling by La
Blance, Mitchell, in stopping the lead Of
the Marine, hit him lightly with his left
on the jaw, when the Marine dropped
and rolling over on his face, remained
raised on one wrist until he was counted
out. He was roundly jeercd by the
spectators on leaving the ring.
Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1891-02-26

assured on excellent authority that the
President does not like the situation. 4
He thinks Blaine ought to stop this sort
of thing or get out of the cabinet.
Rumor has it that if Blaine doesn't
take his name from the list of candi-
dates the President will soon ask him TO
resign from the official family. No
cabinet official will long be permitted to
hold his place and at the same time conf
pete for the prize,
Harrison is taking great pains to claim
in private all the credit for the reci-
procity idea. He recently asserted to a
number of Republicans at the White
that it was he, not Blaine, who sug-
gested the enabling clause TO the Nc
Kinley bill. He said Blaine merely fell
in with the policy, as did Altlrich and
other senators. Therefore the praise for
the Brazilian treaty and the Others TO
follow should 60 to him.
A RECIPROCITY PLATFORM.
II is thus clear that Harrison is to be
the reciprocity candidate. II is not clear
what kind of Il candidate Blaine is to
be, unless it is on the same platform.
This complicates matters. Both the
President and Secretary of State cannot
be candidates on the same platform
without a cabinet reconstruction. This
is no imaginary complication. 1t is
actual. Nothing but the resignation of
Blaine or his formal and prompt dis
avowal Of his candidacy will prevent a
row in the cabinet. Silence will only in
| tensify the bitterness and lead to sensa-
tional developments. No word from or
action by Blaine will be construed as
meaning that he is an aspirant for the
Presidency and intends remaining in
| the cabinet.
II is the case of Lincoln and Chase
over again. Mr.. Chase wanted to be
president, and he had to resign from the
cabinet. VIII Blaine do what Chase re-
| fused to do2
Senator Quay in his recent notable in
terview in the Herdld took for granted
Blaine's candidacy and gave to him
| Pennsylvania in advance. This inter-
view has done not little to bring mat
tiers to a head. The Interpretation given
everywhere to the interview is that the
national chairman means to take prom
| inent part in making the nomination in
1892 His omission of Harrison's name
| from the list of possibilities was
very significant. The conspicuous
manner in which he thrust Blaine
forward was even more than signiti-
cant. Quay spoke for large body Of
Republicans who have not been sup
porters Of Blaine up to this time. The
interview attracted attention at the
White House and among the Republican
leaders. 1t was regarded as q formal
announcement by the chairman of the
national committee of Mr.. Blaine's can
didacy.
The question now is, will Blaine de.
cline to accept the nomination or will
the President ask him to resign from the
| cabinet?
