IS BLAINE TO RETIRE7

The New York Mail and express pub
fishes the following from Washington:
Within the last twenty-four hours
Secretary Blaine and President Harrison
have had most important conference,
and it is stated that one of the chief
topics discussed was the coming ap-
pointment of a secretary of war. Mr..
Blaine is reported to have told the presl-
dent that the appointment of MIR. Stephen
B. Elkins to the vacancy would be most
eminently satisfactory to him and at the
same time be a good appointment for
the country.
In connection with this interview, MIR.
Blaine's friends now say that If MIR.
Elkins gets the war portfolio it will be
closely followed by public announce
ment by Mr.. Blaine of his retirement
from the presidential race in 1899. This
is confirmed by the fact that Mr.. Blaine
has at last spoken on this subject. In
with friend within the last
week he distinctly stated that he was
not now and would not be candidate
for nomination at Minneapolis next June.
This was the plan Mr.. Blaine has adopted
in place of card, but it is now again
made public in rumor Shape that just
before the new year, Mr.. Blaine will
issue letter, already carefully prepared,
giving his reasons for retiring. and
declaring. in no uncertain
words, in favor of Mr.. Harrison. Then,
when in reality 1892 is ushered in, there
will be but one candidate before the Re-
publican party.
Yet there is feeling among the sena-
tors that the man to be selected by the
president for his cabinet is not Mr..
Elkins, but Ex-Governor Cheney of New
Hampshire. His name is still really the
only one mentioned by gossip, but the
fact is the president has not intimated to
any one his preference, and the delay In
sending in the name is due to the fact
that the president has not yet decided on
his choice. The recent interviews may
hasten the nomination.

AN EASTERN ERROR,

The New York Herald denounces
Mills because he favors an income tax.
"The selection of one flor speaker) who
believes in an income tax would be con-
demned in every quarter of the United
States" SAYS the Herald.
The mistake of the Herald, which is a
common mistake of the New York and
other eastern newspapers, is in imagin-
ing that it speaks for ''every quarter of
the United States" The Herald and
the eastern constituency that it serves
are no better prepared to speak for the
people west of the Allegheny mountains
than for the people of France or Ger
many.
There are great many quarters of the
United Slater where tax on incomes be-
yond certain figure would be a pop
ular thing, and it is quite within the
scope of possibilities that such tax will
be imposed by congress. 1t would reach
the class of people who are best able to
bear tax for the support of the govern
ment, and who are the most expert at
evading taxation under existing laws.
If that is the worst thing the Herald
can find to say against Mills, it had bet
ter keep quiet

From the semi-authcritative manner
in which Mr.. Springer talks about the
issues likely to como before the present
congress it would seem that the gentle
man is recognized already, or expects to
be, as the leader of the Democrats of the
house. The talk down in Texas of send
ing Mr.. Mills to the senate will help
along the Springer boom, and the
Springer preferment in congress will no
doubt help the Mills senatorial move
ment in Texas.

KANSAS IN CONGRESS.

Kansas has lost all her prominence in
the lower house of congress, all her
chairmanships and all her influence by
the election of a lot of chumps whom
even Democratic speaker wont recog-
nize. When anybody gets so low down
in the scale of human affairs that a
Democrat wont recognize him, heaven
help the people for whom such an one
stands as the choice and representative.
Simpson and his crowd are not even
recognized as having minority rights.

The Eagles Bristles

From the UkIahoms JournaI
The Wichita EAGLE of Wednesday
morning had on its fighting clothes and
took occasion to roast in language that
was red hot several things 1t don't like,
among them the long hard fraud,
"Pawnee Bill" and the political hypo-
critic, the Kansas City Star. Both these
jobs were done in good shape, and in a
way that showed the paper was in
earnest.

years.

From the start made in the matter OF
new bills introduced for that purpose 1t
seems pretty certain that there VIII be
determined efforts made in congress to
legislate further upon the silver question.
From the present wide divergence OF
views uIon the subject, however, 1t IS
doubtful that any material changes IN
the present law will be made.

The Wichita EAGLE was the only daily
paper in the great state of Kansas that
published the presidents message in full,
word for word, as it came from the
wires. The other dailies published six
column plate synopsis. The possible
plate and the opportunity it affords of
saving, very exactly measures the ad-
vantage held by the daily that cannot
utilize them.

Not by Might Nor by Bombs.

From the Arkansas City Dispatch.
The cranks who undertake 10 kill off
millionaires have a thankless job on their
hands as well as very wicked one. 1t
is the great law of humanity that no man
has right to take another's life, except
to save his own. Although Russell Sage
is not a producer of anything except
financial panics and business disasters
and is perhaps of no more real use than
the wretch who, it is thought, tried to
kill him, it is some satisfaction to know
that the would-be murderer got the
worst of it.. There are better ways to
reform millionaires than killing them.

A Sort of Dissolving View.

From the Newton Republican.
mo tax on iron was ever so great as
the tax he pays who leaves his moving
machine unsheltered in the storm. .
This IS the conclusion of writer in the
Forum and he is correct. Several years
ago it was no uncommon thing to see
the cultivator left in the last row plowed,
the $500 harvester in the middle of the
field, the threshing machine by the side
of its last straw stack, and even yet,
hardly a farmer in the state thinks
enough of his wagon to put it under
cover. These sights are not so common
as they used to be.

she don't go waltzing around town in

nor go fishing with bottle in each

ground and go home drunk at night.
Nor yank off her coat, spit on her hands
and promenade around on the street

ons may lead to the discovery of why

A Heading Question.

From the Lawrence Journal
At first glance the petition sent by the
women of Madison to Governor Hum
phrey asking for blank pardons for
themselves looks like very funny piece
of business. When you think about it

funny. Have they not just as much
right to have blank pardons as has the
man who wilfully and knowingly VIC

An Unsuccessful Attempt to Launch the
Steamer Fairfax.

The shipyard of the Harlan a. Holdings
worth Company was filled saturday with
visitors who had assembled there with the
expectation of seeing the launch Of the
big iron steamer Fairfax which is build
ing by that company for the Miners "
Merchants Transportation company;
Flags tloated from the new vessel and
from all kinds of craft in the Ghrlstana
and the picture in the vicinity Of the
wharves was animated and pretty. The
crowd began to assemble before 10 o'clock
and by noon the lower portion of the yard
was thronged boats nearby We're packed
with people and the bank on the opposite
side d the creek WAS lined with spectators,
When the noon bells began to ring the
tide was at the proper height mud tine
order 10 fiisplAce the wedges which held the
immense bright red keel Of the new vessel
was given. Employees labored industriously
for fully IS minutes and at the expiration
of that time the iron monster had not
budged an inch
Next other methods were resorted to and
finally a heavy hawser which was sus.
pended from her upper deck was fastened
to the tug Taurus and the latter attempted
to pull her off the ways. All Of these
efforts, however. proved futile. Three at
tempts were made to pull her OF and dur
ing each attempt the hawser broke.
After more than All hours work the at
tempt to launch her was postponed The
spectators, who had been deeply interested
IN the movements Of the wurkmen. then
departed, expressing disappointment that
the attempt TO launch the vessel had failed.
After the yard had been cleared the boat
was chained for the purpose Of preventing
the possibility Of her slipping, which mis-
hap might result disastcrously
y r. Benson, who was experimenting
the job stated that lie could not give any
reason for the failure of the boat to move

Only once before in the history of the

attempt was made to launch her was d

years ago.

Says Republican paper Of Phla-
1elphia 80 Minister Douglass is com
ing home again. This may not be an
additional sign that affairs down in
Haiti are growing critical, but it might
be taken that way. With all due
difference to the distinguished man who
is supposed to represent the United
States in the Black Republic, it is evi-
dent that he was never cut out for Il
diplomat. Mr.. Douglass has rendered
noble service to his race, the cause Of
humanity, and to his country, in times
past. H is man of great ability, high
character, and recognized worth; but
his appointment to Haiti was i mistake
in the first instance The President
could have given the colored people a
representation in his administration that
would have worked out much more sat-
isfactorily. As the matter stands, Mr.,
Douglass may have his leave Of absence
indefinitely extended, but it will only
be unwisely pursuing policy THAI
should never have been entered upon to
retain him as our Minister to Haiti.
That post needs very different man
and there are interests at stake Of too
great importance to be trified with fol-
purely political purposes.
