BLAINE'S BRIGHT RECORD.

JAMES G. BLAINE has retired forever from
the public gaze, leaving behind him record
unble.nished and indelible. - Philadelphia
Bulletin.
GIFTED, popular, honored and successful
as few men are, Mr.. Blaine has.nevertheless
failed to reach the summit OF his ambition
the Presidency.-Rochester IN. " Herald.
BLAINE and Clay will go into history as
the two most brilliant political leaders OF
the century, and as the two men who, while
most honored by their political followers
and most enthusiastically supported, were
fated never to be Observation-Disclosures
Times.
WITH all his faults as a statesman and a
man, it is fact that MI. Blaine is the most
brainy and brilliant of living Republican
leaders and by far the most popular. No
other has hold on the affections of the
great mass of the party.-Geue!and Plain
Dealer.
Mr.. BLAINE could have had the nominal
tion for the asking, but he refused it. The
nomination of President Harrison is no re-
Election on MIR. Blaine, who is loved as much
as ever, and his warmest friends at Mime
apolis are now strongly for the ticket
Philadelphia Inquirer
WHATEVER may befan Mr. Blaine, the best
wishes of the American people will go with
and well, and the popular hope will be that
he may continue during long and serene
old age to enjoy the merited admiration
and esteem of his fellow countrymen.-
Baltimore Herald.
He goes, not like Wolsey. bidding farewell
to all his greatness, for that is part of him;
but rather like Heracles, to rest among the
stars, his labors all fulfilled And the
American people. unmindful of party, re-
gard him as Greece looked her last upon
her best, ere Paris arrow few."-Nel0 York
Commercial Advertiser.
HIS extraordinary ability, his marvellous
influence over men, his sturdy and uncom-
promising Americanism, have contributed
to win him first place as to personal follow
ing in this country, placing him in this re-
spect alongside Of Clay, and therefore
anead OF Webster and Calhoun--Birn,ino-

4 RAILROAD TO BE TIED UP.

Trainmen on the c., L. & W. Will Probably
Go Out on Strike To-Day.
MAssILLoN. June 12-[Specidl.] ]-Several
months ago the entire force of trainmen on
the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Rail-
road made demand from General Manager
Oscar Townsend for an advance in all wages
to the standard rate, or, in other words, the
same scale throughout as is paid on other
and larger lines. This would mean an aver
age increase of about IS per cent. The mat
ter was permitted to rest on account of the
death of prominent engineer and the re-
cent resignation Of superintendent F. M.
Townsend.
Now, however, the Information comes
from reliable source that the General Man
ager has been notified that If the demand is
not acceded to by tonight at u O'Clock
general strike will take place tomorrow.
This would include everything except the
mail train. 1t is even stated that the. COM
pany's shop men will unite with the others.
About $50 men are involved. The committee
of three employees who waited upon the
General Manager three days ago have been
discharged.

PEACE AMONG CHICAGO srocKMEN.
A Compromise to End the Triangular Fight
at the Union Yards

at the Union Yards.
CHICAGO, June 12.-By action taken to-day,
all the differences previously existing be-
tween the Chicago junction Railways and
Union Stock Yards Company, Armour, Swift
and Morris, constituting the big Three"
and the faction to be known IN history
the "small Packers" have been Eealed.
Armour, Swift and Morris will receive the
$3,0OO,00O in stock promised them by the
Stock Yards Company, objection previously
entered by the "small Packers being re-
moved. The latter, banded together in this
as in other matters, will receive from the
Union Stock Yards stock to the amount OF
basis of the agreements with the big Three"
In other words, it is worth So, ,O00, 900 to the
yards to retain the plants of Armour, Swift
from. Therefore, 1t Is worth as much to
retain the ''small packers as their business
is worth compared to that of the "Big
Three" the So 000, 600 paid the latter being
taken as the unit. All the plants of all the,
packers will remain at the Union Yards.
The use of either the Tolleston lands or the
Stickney tract at any time in the near
future for stock yards or packing purposes
will be determined by concerted action on
the part of the three sides of the triangle, to
which the Union Yards and the harmonized
packers. big and little, can now be likened.
The deal is closed, the papers sig ned, sealed
and delivered, and nothing remains to be
done but to rate the value of the "small
packers" to the Union Yards and pay the
money,

A NEW WORLDS FAIR QUARREL
Two Titled Ladies' Claim the Control Of tn,
Irish women's Exhibit.

NEW YORK, June l2.-Mrs. Potter Palmer,
President of the Board OF Women Managers
Of the Worlds Fair. arrived in this city to-
day on the steamship Etruria. She was
absent seven weeks and visited England
Austria, France and Belgium in the interest
of the Fair. Throughout these countries
and others which she had not an oppor-
tunity to visit. she said the sentiment was
very favorable in behalf of having a
woman's exhibit. The trouble with a great
many of the European countries was that
their Parlfaments. like some Of our own
State Legislatures. did not specify what
portion of the appropriation made should
be devoted to the women's exhibit.
An interesting bit of information obtained
from Mrs. Palmer was that there was some
dissension in the Women's Commission
from England. The Duchess OF Abercorn
and the Countess of Aberdeen both claim to
represent the the Irish product, which will
be principally lace. Politics entered into
the deliberations of the committee and both
claim priority Several years ago, before
worlds fair was talked about. Lady Aber-
deem was in this country trying to further
the sale of Irish manufactures The Duchess
of Abercorn's only claim to represent the
Irish industries is that her husband is a
Tory landowner in that country.

patriarch OF Pope. Gradually, the Office
came to be a permanent one, and to belong
by custom to the Bishops of five great cities,
Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Rome and
Constantinople. Thus there were five
Popes. Then came the time when the
Mohammedans, advancing from the East,
broke down the power of the Popes in all
the four patriarchates which lay in their
path. The Church in the East was laid in
ruins. There was only one strong Pope re-
naming, and he lived IN Rome. Little by
little, the power of the Bishop of Rome grew
greater Little by little. through his wealth,
his position. his natural authority, his am
bition, he became master of his brother
Bishops. That was probably the best thing
that could have happened. That strong
centralized Government carried the Church
through the turmoils of the Middle Ages. In
the inevitable course of even is the Church in
England acknowledged the supremacy Of
the Roman Bishop. Then came despotism.
The new power was abused. The old way
was proved to be, after all, the better way
So there was revolt First the Greek nations
of the East, and then the Teutonic nations
of the North, refused to submit any longer
to this system of things which, they held,
had had it's day of usefulness and ought to
pass away. The Bishops, whose predeces-
sors had known no Pope, declined any
longer to recognize the Pope. The Church
of England was foremost in her declaration
of independence. Founded before the Pope
was ever thought of, she returned to the
customs of her fathers.
The Church of England then began, in the
days of Henry Will, only in the sense in
which the life of man begins when he re-
covers from a serious sickness It began
over again by q return to its old health. For
500 years ont of 1900 of its history the

REV. TOM DIXON ON COMBINES.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, the young North
Carolina minister who has become so
popular in New York as a preacher, is
in touch with the Alliance, Judging
from his public utterances. The New
York Herald reports recent discourse
as follows:
The Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr prefaced
his sermon Sunday morning in AssO-
citation Hall with a ten minute talk on
the Ethics of the Coal Combine" He
spoke of the recent Reading, Lehigh

capital of $500. 600 90 and is expected
to earn 500 600, 900 a year" He de-
scribed the scene when the news of the
deal was given on the Stock EXchange,
when ''genteel gamblers shrieked like
maniacs," and these stocks went up
So 600. 600 worth in a few ticks of the
clock"
''ThOse who know BEST" went on
Mr.. Dixon. declare that this deal
means an advance of fifty cents a ton

the masses of the people will be robbed
of 500, 600, 900 annually in a tax on their
iresides. What is your business9

SOME PLAIN r

Our prohibition friends are dissatis-
fed, and some of them disappointed, at
the failure of the Industrial Conference
to pronounce in favor of prohibition.
Some of them are inclined to write
Angrily, We may almost say insultingly,
on the subject; others advice that an
other effort be made at Omaha to have
the Peoples party adopt a prohibition
plank; while still others advise that
the prOhibitiOnists "steal the thunder
of the PeODle's party by adopting at
their coming convention the money,
land and transportation plankS of the
Industrial Conference. There seems
to b. need for a little plain speaking
here. There are i'll the ranks of the
organizations represented at st. Louis
prOhibitiOnists and opponents Of pro
hibitiOn, in what proportions we an
o tell. There are in the ranks of the
prOhibitiODists those who favor money.
land and transportation reforms, as we
labor refOrmers understand it, and
there are those who are opposed to
these reforms; what proportion these
may hold to each other we knO v not.
Now had the Industrial Conference
adopted a prohibition plank. it would
not have been because the bodies repre-
scented believed in prohibition, but it
would have been a deliberate and
shameful bartering of principle for
votes. Should the opponents Of the
st. Louis platform who attend the Pro
hibition Convention consent to putting
money. land and transportation reform
in their platform, they will be guilty
of an equally dishonest and shameful
thing. AS to the proposal to go to the
Omaha Convention with a prohibition
plank for adoption, it may as we'll be
understood that the delegates to that
convention will not be sent there to
adopt a new platform, but to take
measures for pressing forward the
work of education on the platform
adopted at ST. Louis. 1t will be within
the right of that convention to nOmi-
nate a national ticket to stand upon the
Industrial Conference platform; but it
will not be within it's right to alter,
take from, or add to that platform

platform and the Chicago nominees
That we will have to abandon the St.

One of these papers says, If Capt.
Alexander is in favor of 0ur platform,
of course he can Teceire no nOminG-

who favor reform as indicated In the
platfo1 m of the St. Louis Conference,
unless he stands squarely and un-
finchiugly or that platform The
hour has come for plain talk and the
Democratic papers may as well under
stand now and for all time, that the
friends of reform in North Carolina are
not TO be driven or bullied into the sup
port OF any man or party that opposes
III principles. [ entirely agree with
the position of Mr.. Peele in your last
issue. And be it understood that no
man or men can lead us into any
arrangement which will compromise
our principles My own opinion IS
that the only solution to the compli-
Gated situation in our State, and the
only safe one for us to adopt IS to
''agree that we will disagree on prin-
ciple, to be frank and honest about the
matter, and each crowd go its own
way. My opinion is that we will find
it job 10 mix oil and water" But the
friends of reform mus be a unit. They
should and must stand sOlidly to
gether. I confess that | can see no
way to "work in double harness" with
u Democratic friends, when weknOw
they will not adopt principles.
These are VIII 1t we are fighting for, and
we know that we can eve get them
except through our national legisla-
ton. We care little or nothing for
State offices; they can aid us but little,
but we must stand together on the
National Congress and the National
ticket and our National platform, be-
cause this is our only hope.

Free coinage of silver would be to
the people what an oasis is to the trav-
eller in the desert-would temporarily
quench the famine and d]esolatiOn
around them. But free coinage is not
enough. If the powers that be find
that the people are determined to have
enough money in circulation to carry
on their business on a cash basis, they
would doubtless agree to permit their
tools in Congress to allow such q meas
ure to pass, for. through the agency Of
the national banks, it would be easy to
contract the currency sufficient to off
set the increase of circulation that free
coinage would cause. Anew financial
system is the remedy. A slight sprinkle
will not break a general drouth, neither
will free coinage permanently allay the
general money famine, says the Ms
souri, World.
