met Seat Too Hot.
WASHING TON, June $50 far rs can
now be learned the resignation volun-
teered by Secretary Blaine today had
not been preceded by any notice or init
nation to the president that it might he
expected.
The resignation appears, therefore,
to have been determined upon very
suddenly, but for some time there have
been various facts known to close ObSer-
vation in Washington as a sort of "Open
secret" which warrant belief that the
resignation, though undoubtedly
precipitated by occurrences of very
recent date. had its origin long ago and
in causes essentially personal, rather
than political.
These causes may be briefly summar-
lied as incompatabilitles of tempera-
ment, developed at times by important
diSagreementS over public questions,
such as the management OF the war
threatening difficulty with Chill;
inVidiOuS comparisons and comments
on the part of injudicious friends
concerning the credit due to either for
the enactment and the execution of the
reciprocity project and the general con-
duet of the foreign affairs of this gov
ernment, including the management of
the Behring sea controversy, and the
lack of cordial relations between their
respective families.
These causes had undoubtedly Gre
ated feeling of restraint in the rela-
tions of the president and the secretary
of state months before the writing of
the letter in which Mr.. Blaine declared
he was not candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination, and the recent
publications authorized by various
members of the cabinet concerning Mr..
Blaine and the presidency, closely fol-
lowing other published statements at
tributed to member of the presidents
family and to some of his close polit-
ical friends regarding the secre-
tary's physical and mental c0ndi-
ton, ETC., are understood to have
made hin: feel that longe
continuance in President Harrison's
cabinet would be intolerable to him,
wholly irrespective of any questions of
right or duty to accept the Republican
nomination for the presidency if ten.
dered. But whatever may have been
the Immediately lmpelling cause OF Mr..
Blaine's resignation today, there seems
to be no doubt whatever among his
friends in this city that by it he has
placed himself in position of readi-
ness to accept the nomination.

and no one doubted that Blaine was a

the eX-secretary of state was accused Of
bad faith and disloyalty. and the Har-

had sufficient votes to nominate their

cries of the Past.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 4.-The
resignation of Secretary Blaine is the
sensation of the Harrison admins
tration, and yet it was not al
together a surprise, for since it be-
came evident that he intended to
accept if the nomination was rendered
him, it was evident that his position
was decidedly uncomfortable. This.
together with the intimation given last
night by Father Cronin in the dispatch
published in the GLOBE of today,
and telegraphed back throughout
the country by the Press associa-
tion,in a measure prepared WASH
lngtOnians for the shock. At the
same time it took their breath away for
a moment, and since they recovered
that necessary element of life they have
begun to talk, and have cOntended ever
since that it means Blaine's nomination..

conference lasting nearly all afternoon.
1t began in comparatively informal
manner, when the Indiana delegation
decided to retire for consultation with
some of their friends before giving final
authorization to an interview in which
Gen. Michener was to speak for the
chief supporters of Gen. Harrison.
Harrison men from different sections
of the country came to the Harrison
headquarters to ascertain the way in
which the situation was viewed, and
what had begun informally in a con-
sideraton of an interview soon bios
somed forth into regular formal con-
ference, which lasted between three and
four hours, in which the whole
ground was carefully gone over. Some
of the men were in favor of fighting Wig
orously and aggressively all along the
line, and for antagoniZing the Blaine
movement with spirit.

such a remedy in Allcock's Porus

Allcock's PoIus plasters give almost
instantaneous relief, and their
strengthening power is remarkable
In cases of weak back put two plas-
ters on the small of the back and in a
short time you will be capable Of
quite severe exercise. In "sprint'

variably be relieved by cutting the
plaster in narrow strips, so as to give

1t is not believed that the provision
of section 20 of the registration act
that "any elector or any one who snail
contrary to the provisions of this act
place any mark upon or do anything
to his ballot by which it may after
ward be identified as the one voted by
any particular individual" shall bt
guilty of a misdemeanor, repeats tha'
portion of article 1894, Revised Stat
utes, requiring ballots to be hum
bered. ,
The marking CT the ballot it will be
observed, which is denounced by Tine
statute, is such only as is contrary
to the provisions of this act" There
is no express repeal of TIE article re
curing ballots to be numbered, anc
the presumption is not permissible
that the legislature would by implica

actment of which is positively com
manded by the constitution by de
claring that the Legislature shall pro

LORD ALFRED TENNYSON.

England's poet Laureate is dead.
Thursday at the ripe, old age OF 80,
Lord Alfred Tennyson quietly slept
away the end of a long and peaceful
life. The Tyre of the ancient min
strel is mute-the voice of England's
bard is stilied.
Tennyson was born in 1909 at Son.
ersby in Lincolnshire, England, and
was the third of the seven sons OF
Rev. George Clayton TenDyson. He
with his two older brothers entered
Trinity college, Cambridge, together
in 1927 and in the same year he and
his brother Charles published an
anonymous volume of "Poems by Two
Brothers. In 1929 Alfred, by his
poem of $50 lines entitled "Timbuc-
too,u won the chancellor's medal.
1t was in 1882 that he conn.,
menced his real work of genius
by writing "The Lady of Shalott,'
"Gnone,n "The May Queen" and
"The Lotos. Eaters" In 1912 followed
a volume of rich poems. In 1S47 "rhe
Princess, Medley and in 1850 "In
Memoriam." 1t was in this same year
upon the death of Wordsworth that
he was made poet-laureate. In 1867
came the "Ode on the death of Well
ington," in 1856 MAUD" But in 1856
he issued his greatest poem, "Tbe
Idylls of the King" In 1864 he wrote
"Enoch Arden" and "The Holy
Grailn in 1869, two of the best of his
later efforts. From 1875 to 1882 he
wrote several dramas which have not
proven great successes. In 1859 he
reached the zenith of his glory, and
his efforts since then have not equaled

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

The Hon. Thos. f. Watson, mem
Der of Congress, has written an arti-
Gle published in the Arena for Octo-
Der on "The Negro Question in the
South" The Hon. Watson has solved
the whole question. A great Dig
mountain has been in the throes OF
labor and behold the product is a
mouse.
The Hon. Watson says the difficult
ties around and about this question as
long as the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties exist are insurmount
able, but his panacea for these Ills is
simple; for he says let the negro join
the Third party and the question IS
solved; then the negro farmer and the
white farmer neighbors will march
right up to the polls together and
cast their votes for the same candidate
and there will be no more trouble
about the negro vote.
The Hon. Watson declares yon only
have to persuade the negro tA'' 1t is
his interest to vote with his white
neighbor for the Third party candi-
dates and he will do 30. This is
wise conclusion of the Hon. Watson's
that will astonlsh Sambo as least. All
YOU have to do is to persuade him to
do so, and he thinks the negro will be
easily persuaded, for is he not taxed
out of his life like his white neighbor?
Why certainly he is Hon. Watson,
and the Democratic party has been
trying to persuade him Of that fact
for thirty years, but he won't be per-
suaded. Every kind of argument has
been resorted to. Our enemies in the
north assert that we have even tried
to persuade him with the shot gun
and he is still obdurate.
But granted that you succeed IN
persuading him that he is taxed to
death and he must have a remedy,
do you think he would go to new
party that has developed no strength
J that has never shown disposition tc
tighten his taxes; or being persuaded
: do you not rather opine Mr.. Watson
