A Dismal Failure.

Within two or three days learned the
details of the dismal failure of their New
York life, and after full consultation
with Mrs. Blaine and with her free ap-
proval l proposed that they should come
to live in Augusta and occupy our old
home. 1 had summer house at Bar
Harbor and as intended to spend all
my winters in Washington this house
would be vacant if they did not occupy
it. The house being large, proposed to
pay for fuel and light and the wages of
a man servant, and l would furnish
them with horse and carriage. also
assured them in addition to the sum of
s., 500 year until my son should be able
to earn an income of that amount. /
made the proposition while we were sit
ting on the lawn, with my sons wife
but few feet distant. Ny son went
Immediately over to her, and knew
that he told her in detail just what my
offer was. Her reply was that she would
not stay in Augusta on any consider
alton. He was very much disconnected
by her decision and informed his mother
and myself of his discomfort and unhap-
piness, fact which was not before
known, but which was not received with
surprise.
We then learned that during our alb
sence in Europe he had become gradu-
ally estranged from her, and her refusal
to accept the residence in Augusta was
merely the last of long series Of dis
agreements which threatened TO make
their united life impossible and which
led finally TO aseparation. Disaster is the
only legitimate conclusion of such a
marriage. During the two weeks that
my son wife BCald at Augusta il be-
came patent to every member Of my
family and to every visitor, and to no
one more than myself, that a separation
was the least disaster TO be dreaded.
On this brief stay Of two weeks with
us rests all the substantiation of the
judge at Deadwood. Before leaving for
the west had advised with Mrs. Blaine
in the event of the return of her daugh-
ter-in-law, and she acted upon my ad-
vice. Not word since the separation
has been written by her, nor has she
seen my sons wife except on the street
in New York, when not word was ex-
changed between them. My son was
entirely free. No restraint was at
tempted or desired, or needed TO insure
separation. On the day of his wifes de-
parture he was as strongly determined
as on the day of her divorce not to re-
sumo his relations with her.
Far be 1t from me TO hold my son
blameless; though when his youth, his
uncompleted education, his separation
from the influences Of home, the ex-
change of life full Of hopes and antici-
pations for premature cares and uncon-
genial companionship are considered j
hold him more sinned against than sin

A Personal Statement.

Mr.. Blaine furnishes for publication
the following, under the heading of "a
personal statement
Since the separation Of my son and his
wife, three and a half years ago, my
family have silently borne every mis-
representation, every slanderous attack,
every newspaper interview which it has
pleased the now divorced wife to inspire.
The one person aimed at has been Mrs.
Blaine, and we have perhaps been at
fault in allowing a horror of the public
discussion Of private matters, combined
with a regard for the future Of my
grandson, to permit 80 much calumny to
go unanswered. The last outrage of the
kind, embodied in the decision of the
judge at Deadwood, Oak, assumes an
official character which makes it impOs-
sible to remain longer silent.
To remain silent would be to accept
and perpetuate great wrong to my
wife-a greater wrong TO my grandson
than even publication of the truth can
infict upon him. 1t is necessary in
speaking that l should give a summary
as brief as possible of the marriage and
the incidents which followed it and led
10 the separation.
A letter which l addressed to the Rev.
Thomas l. Ducey at the time Of the mar
riage will distinctly state the important
facts bearing upon that event.

Their Flight from Augusta.

When they reached New York after
| they had fled from August she eau
| toned my son not to forget the $50
| gold piece in a little box for Ducey,"
and to look in the pocket of your gray
| clothes for the ring" In short she took
charge of every matter and directed all
the proceedings to the last minutiR.
1t was thus that boy of II years and
| 10months, in some respects inexperienced
for his age, was tempted from his
school books and his tutor and blindly
| led to the altar by young woman of
| full 81, with entire secrecy contrived by
herself and with all the instrumentali-
| ties Of her device complete and exact.
When my eldest son, Walker, went to
| New York, as | have related in the
| Ducey letter, his object was to see
| whether this marriage of my youngest
son might not be invalid or could be an
nuled by reason of his youth. He was
met with the assertion that it was too
late for any proceedings to set aside the
marriage, because after the marriage,
| the bride, instead of returning TO her
mother, had taken passage for Boston
| with the groom on one OF the night
steamers on Long Island sound. She
returned from Boston to New York the
| following day and he came on home to
| Augusta. This fact was learned for the
first time by Walker, boys modesty
| having prevented my son James from
bringing it to my knowledge.
purpose next to Show by a somewhat
minute statement Of facts and dates the
| falsity of the assertion that Mrs Blaine
| broke up the marriage relations Of my
son and his wife. She did not see her
| daughter-in-law until May, 1887, eight
| months after the marriage, when, being
| in New York, the latter called upon her
twice during her two days stay. The
| next time she saw her was a month
later. When about to sail for Europe
on the Sth of June she was a single day
in New York and saw the young woman
on taking leave.
| At the end of fourteen months we re-
turned from Europe and stopped two or
three days in New York. We found
that in our absence my son had not only
! spent his entire allowance, but that he
was deeply in debt. 1t was then ar
ranged that both my son and his wife
should come to Augusta and have their
future determined at family council.
They arrived in Augusta on Saturday,
the 18th of August. Mrs. Blaine was
absent from home on visit and re-
turned Monday afternoon, the Goth, so
| that she saw James wife for the first
time in Augusta on the evening of

Heavy Work Ahead-The Shadow of tho

WASHINGTON, July 4-There is heavy
work ahead for congress this week.
The routine that must be disposed of is
important and interesting enough in
Itself, but impending over all is the
shadow Of that liveliest of corpses, the
silver bill, which will not stay buried,
but turnsNp iHa,newpHise at this busy
moment in congress to destroy the cal
culations Of political leaders and dis
turb the peace Of mind Of members who
felt sure that they had succeeded in
avoiding anopeu expression of opinion
and a direct vote on an embarrassing
question. a.. ..-... 4,
In the senate the proceedings prom
Use to be largely Of a routine character
and will concern the appropriation bills
principally. Only one of these bills,
the agricultural, has finally passed
both houses and the others are in con-
ference. Ordinarily this would be con-
sidered a very satisfactory state of af-
fairs, but in the present ease the differ
ences between the two houses are ex-
IRENE and the spirit Of obstinacy which
has been exhibited ON both sides
threatens to defer indefinitely final
action upon the remaining appropria-
ton bills. H; a.-.f..f-.-.,....-.. .....,i
Probably the most of the time of the
senate during the week will be given
up to the consideration Of conference
reports, interspersed with some calen-
dar business and from discussion and
possibly action on the silk bill, which
is the subject OF a special order. -.-r
The glorious Fourth unfortunately
this year falls upon suspension day and
in Difference to universal patriotism the
house declines to meet. But not
70 surrender the advantages which
may be derived by the house
under its rules the committee on
rules will report a resolution designat-
ing Wednesday or Thursday as suspen-
sion day. Whether this resolution will
be adopted or not is doubtful. 1t being
an open secret that the democrats in
tend to pass the tin plate and other
tariff bills under suspension the repub-
hcans, with their steadfast purpose to
defeat those measures, will resort to
tilibustering to defeat the making
of such an order. If either
side yields, the remainder of the
week will be consumed in the
consideration of conference reports,
that is, if no report is made by the coin
age committee on the senate free silver
coinage bill If that reporti is made the
rules committee viii be requested to
bring in special report for the imnie-
diate consideration of the bill and will
dose if a majority Of the democratic
members sign the request. What will
follow is problematical and the only
prediction that can be made is that
there will be one Of the most animated
contests that this session has witnessed.
