BLAINE HEALTH BULLETINS.

From the earliest period Of modern history
it has been the custom of those who stand
nearest TO the persons of kings to give out
fattering reports as to the condition of the
monarch who is suffering from an attack of
illness, and even when he is on the point Of
passing into the very article of death, the
representations of courtiers and physicians
have been misleading and deceptive
This custom had its origin under despotic
institutions in the dangers attending the sue
cession; in more recent times in desire to
allay popular agitation excited by the ex-
tremity of the head of the State, and to some
extent. no doubt, in natural impulse TO hope
for favorable change when all the probable
tiles were opposed to it. Under the influence

AN Example of Mckinley Prices.
baltimore SUM-

The advocates of the high tariff iniquity
have frequently made the claim that the eff
fects of the Mckinley bill have been ex-
aggerated-that its operation. instead Of in
yolving an additional tax upon the consumer,
will prove benefcent in the end, and that
merchants have merely made It's provisions
an excuse for raising prices wherever prac-
ticable There is an obvious Inconsistency
in these assertions but that the Mckinley
bill has caused a material advance in at least
one article we have the highest Republican
testimony in a letter sent 10 the Sun by
a customer of the Philadelphia firm
whose head is the present Postmaster-Gen-
eral. The customer incloses a bill and let
ter from the firm in question. from which it
appears that 1915 is now charged for a
copying letter book against @ 80. the price
last December, and the firm distinctly says
the increase is ION account of the Mckinley
bill" This simple statement. from such a
source. is worth volumes Of oratory and
newspaper writing TO prove that the Nc
Kinley bill has not made living dearer TO
every man, woman and child in the country.

CARLISLE AND WESTERN FARMERS

The earnestness and determination exhib-
tied in the recent Cincinnati convention are
features of the movement which the conven-
ton represented, which it would be short
sighted in either Democrat or Republican to
depreciate or decry. These are forces which
must be accounted with, and as far as they
are displayed in carrying out the legitimate
practical objects for which the farmers or
ganization was instituted, they will receive
the hearty approval of all men, irrespective
of parties, who are interested in the general
welfare Of every class.
Most unfortunately for the interests of the
agricultural classes of the West the platform
adopted at Cincinnati is married in several re-
spects by an impracticable spirit which
brings its whole framework into serious dis
credit An interview which a number of the
delegates had with Senator Carlisle imme-
diatelylafter the adjournment of the conven-
ton, brings out in a very forcible way the
visionary character of many of its most i'm
portant clauses
When in the course of this interview the
question of the Government owning and
managing the railway systems of this country
was preached, the Senator asked his visitors
if they proposed to confscate the railroads,
and they replied that this would be unfair.
Then" answered the Senator, you must
buy them and to buy them you must pay for
them, and to pay,for them you must tax your
selves. Have you any idea how much it
would cost? Our Government debt at the
close of the war was more than two thousand
millions and we have been almost thirty years
iii paying half of it. The railroads, telegraphs,
telephone lines and steamboats, in the
country represent about 1000, 600, 900
invested capital $4,000, 600, 600 is bonded
indebtedness which must be paid
Are you ready to tax yourselves to raise this
money? Then, after you have got the proper
ty are you ready TO tax yourselves to operate
it, for the Government never yet succeeded in
doing business at profit Consider another
effect; such plan would add perhaps ,2OO-
600 men and women TO the roll of Govern
ment employees. How would you ever succeed
in turning out of power an administration
with such resources at its command? The
more corrupt it was the more difficult it would
be to displace it."
Mr. Carlisle was further asked as to what he
thought of the growing concentration of the
financial power of the United States into the
hands of few men. Il admit" he answered.
that it is a bad sign, but how are you going
to remedy it? BY a revolution or by an act of
legislature Do you propose TO say by your
Legislature that when a man has earned 500
or 81 900 orS1O,OOO that he shall not earn any
more?"
The Kentucky Senator expressed the warm
est approval of the plank which demanded
the total extinction of the system of unequal
taxation, and held that system up as one of
the principal causes of the depression from
which the agricultural classes have been suf-
fering so heavily and from which they are
now so earnestly seeking permanent relief.

Crushed By Culture.
fAtlanta Constitutlon.l

One of George w. Cables New, England
friends intimates very plainly that the South
ern novelist has retrograded since he made
his home in Massachusetts,.
The New Englander says that when Mr..
Cabel first came North his voice was a sweet
natural tenor that WAS very pleasing TO an
audience. He unwsely took lessons III elo-
cution and acquired an artificial manner
which destroyed the charm of his recitations
and readings. Nor was this all Before he
left the South he had read very little, and
ms literary style had the charm OF sponta-
neity. Unfortunately. his association with
the Boston crowd led him to read deeply,
and his work gradually became conventional
aud self-consciOus.
The case of Mr.. Cable shows that culture
does not always benefit. Sometimes it brushes
a man.
After all. writer must be very largely
law unto himself, and if his genius forces him
into the line of creative work he must rely
upon such culture as he naturally and easily
acquires As a rule, any effort 10 impose upon
himself the limitations prescribed by others
will simply make him artificial and cOnven-
tional. The Louisianian has found it so. and
his experience should be warning to others.

THE universal hope Is entertained even
among the political opponents of Mr. Blaine
that his present illness will soon pass away,
leaving him in the full possession of his ac-
customed mental and physicaLvigor. The
most creditable portion of his whole career is
that part which is associated with his occupa-
ton Of the responsible position which he now
fills. His name is identified with number of
recent measures which have received the APP
proval of the American people. irrespective of
parties, and MS sudden removal from the POI
litical scene would be justly considered
great public calamity; if for no other reason
because it would leave an unobstructed field
to President Harrison. the most Objectionable
Republican in the United States if Reed is
omitted from consideration.

sickness Of European ruler are not implic-
itly relied upon as throwing any very decisive
light on the true condition of the distinguished
patient.
Fortunately we have no nonarchs in this
country or rulers with absolute power whose
condition of health is matter OF vital impor-
lance to the general welfare. but we have at
least a couple Of party leaders whose physical
state when shaken by illness is cause OF
serious concern to their army OF followers.
It would be an eIaggeration to say that the
bulletins which hourly or daily announce the
condition of Mr. Blaine are scanned with as
much interest by the American people as SINH
lar bulletins would be in Europe If their sub
ject were one of the rulers of that division Oh
the globe. This. however. can be said with
entire accuracy that the bulletins relating to
Mr. Blaine are much more unreliable than
those which give the latest information as to
the condition of foreign potentate.
For some time now the Secretary of State
has been confined 10 his son-in-law's house IN
New York. Bulletin after bulletin has been
issued, with hardly an exception, OF favor
orable character. Mr. Blaine is stated in one
to be improving so rapidly.that he will soon
be able to return TO Washington; in another
that he is only waiting for the swelling in his
feet 10 subside before he will indulge himself
in a drive in the park: in another, that As
soon a. he can be safely moved he will be
taken TO Maine. in which State he will remain
until the fall.
So contradictory are the bulletins and so
conflicting are the private adyices as to the
true condition of Mr.. Blaine that the Ameri-
can people would mot be surprised TO hear
that he had died only a few hours ago or that
his health was so fully restored that he would
not have to consult even the ordinary de-
mands Of prudence for man of his age. In
order TO add still more confusion to the popu-
lar idea on this subject the New York Herald
yesterday published very detailed statement
a. 10 the arrangement of Mr.. Blaine's faculties
which renders him incapable, it is alleged, OF
any sustained intellectual exertion.
Unfortunately for the credibility of the
Herald's sensational story it published in the
same issue a full account of the part which
the Secretary played in the recent conflict
with the Italian Premier. If the strength OF
reason and alertness of perception which Mr..
Blaine exhibited in this instance, which only
occurred a few weeks ago. can be deduced to
show his present mental condition. the in
ference may be justly drawn that he has lost
nothing of that intellectual force and skill for
which he has been so distinguished in the
mast

Women and the Worlds Fair
boston Traveler.l

According to Mrs Jonas French, our Massa-
chusetts representative on the board of lady
managers Of the Worlds Fair, the fair prom
ises to be of immense value TO women
She says that Mrs Potter Palmer, of Chicago,
may be credited with very nearly rhe
entire scheme of work as thus far
laid out" One idea of the lady man
ayers is to create funds that will enable
worthy young working-girls to visit the far.
Another idea is TO form a body of guides 10 do
duty at the exposition These guides will be
educated young women, and expert lingusts
will be given the preference. Everything pos
sible will be done to represent American
womanhood, and especially industrial womau-
hood. at the coming exposition, and. fully
awake to the opportunities of the situation,
the lady managers are throwing themselves
heart and soul into their good work.

NAVAL architects regard the failure of the
Vesuvius as dynamite cruiser as complete.
1t is stated that the whole value of the vessel
lay in the supposed accuracy of her fire, and
if this had been even slightly overestimated
the perilous character of her ammunition
ought to have turned the scale against her.
As 1t turns out the Vesuvius was unable on
her trial In Hampton Roads to come any,
where near hitting moving target, and as 1t
was extremely unlikely that she would ever
be called upon to practice against a stationary
target that ends the matter. 1t is suggested
that the best thing Secretary Tracy can do is
to lit her out as torpedo cruiser.
