a Great Man.

John Jay was one of the truly great
men of our revolutionary period. His
character was without blemish, and he
was more anxious to do right than to
acquire popularity or Office. On one
occasion, in an exciting political cam
paign, he procured vote of censure
against a member of a committee whom
he thought blameworthy.
The committeeman lost his temper
and abused Mr.. Jay roundly. On the
next day Mr.. Jay learned that his sus-
picions were not well founded and that
the man had acted in all honesty. He
went to the man promptly and said:
You were right, and was wrong. I
ask your pardon" The man was
amazed, and replied, II have often
heard that John Jay was a great man f.;

j have been waiting for some years
for some one else to twist the two gar
lands that today twist, but, no one
doing it, in the love of God and my
country put now my hand to the work,
and next spring about this time, if
am living and well, l will twist two
more garlands for northern and south
ern graves, and every springtime, until
some man or woman whom | may have
cheered little in the struggle of this
life, shall come out and put pahsy or
two on my own grave. Eut il the time
should ever come when this land shall
be given over to sectional rancor and
demagogism, and north and south or
east and west shall forget what the
good God built this nation for, and it
shall halt on its high career of right

come the agent of tyranny and wrong

at these affairs go out to Greenwood
and scoop up my dust and scatter it to
the four winds of heaven, for do not
want to sleep. and I will not sleep in a
land accursed with sectionalism or OPP
preston.
And now hand over the two gar
lands, both of which are wet with many
tears-tears of widowhood and orphan
age and childlessness, tears of suffering
and tears of gratitude, and as the cere-
mony must be performed in symbol,
there not being enough flowers to cover
all the graves, take the one garland to
the tomb OF some northern soldier who
may yesterday have been omitted in the

and the other garland to the tomb of

The ReciprOcity Boom.

What Mr.. J. B. Montgomery, OF Port
land, Ore, says about Mr.. Blaine is OF
rather more interest than miscellaneous
gossip, because he is an intimate friend
of two of Mr.. Blaine's most intimate
friends, Mr.. William Walter Phelps and
Mr.. Robert r. Hit. On his way home
from Washington, where he had been for
several weeks, Mr.. Montgomery was in
terviewed in Chicago, and he said: II
saw James q. Blaine about forty hours
ago, and he told me positively he was
not in the presidential race, would not
be, and that he intended to devote him
self after the expiration of his present
official position to his reciprocity scheme.
Mr.. Blaine is not advocating reciprocity
for presidential boom, but for the good
of the country. At present." continues
Mr.. Montgomery, "he is devoting all his
time to Spain and the Spanish-speaking
countries, which alone annually consume
100000 barrels of flour not produced in
their countries. the duty on which is
$5 so barrel. The United States could
furnish every one of those barrels if it
got the chance. You can put it down
that Blaine won't run in 1892. INA

THERE is movement on foot in con-
gress to increase the pay of the rail-
way postal clerks, and it has very merito-
rious features about it. This class of
employees is paid less than any other
persons Of equal intelligence and eff
cheney in any branch of the government
service, and, in addition to exacting
labors, the postal clerks are exposed
daily and hourly to great perils. A de-
rallied car may send this painstaking
representative of Uncle Sam into eter-
nifty without a moments warning. 1t is
the bad distinction of the government
of the United States that it makes no
provision for supporting its civil en-
ployees when age or accident makes
them incapable of supporting them
selves. Under such a system, the duty
of giving liberal pay to men who expose
their lives every day is specially exigent.
The clerks of the several departments OF
the government at Washington, who in
