BIaine,s Resignation.

A cabinet crisis in the United States is
by no means the i'm portant affair that il is
in other lands The resignation of a min
lister cuts comparatively little figure in the
business affairs of the country, for it indi-
Gates no change in financial or govern
mental policy. Seldom, indeed, does a
cabinet resignation even cut a figure polit-
ically.
But, all these things being true, the
resignation OF JAMES q. BLAINE recently
from the Office OF secretary OF state is like
ly TO cut very important figure factional-
ly. His resignation is just what il was
meant it should be-a notice 20 his friends
that he is a candidate for the presidential al
nomination, and not only is willing TO ac-
cept that nomination but that be actually

What effect this action Of the premier
will have is hard to foretell. If, as his
friends have claimed. he could be nomi-
mated whenever il was understood that he
would not decline, the path is now clear to
the coveted honor. But there is consider
able reason to believe that his friends
have been claiming too much In spite OF
all the whoop and hurrah following on
the report of BLANE's resignation. thore

I love old faces; they are always true,
writes Gerald ). Lee in an article entitled
"As il is Seen in Our Faces" in the June
Ladies Home Journal. The old mans face
is his autobiography il is his life in min
nature. A face is the scenery OF the soul,
the camera of our thoughts; although we
have not really seen face until our
hearts have followed the whole repertoire
OF its expressions, yet each mans habitual
face, Rs a fair general expression of
himself, is as if composite had
been taken and the soul had
had a thousand sittings, each negative
differing in its way, but all combined
resulting in this one. Why should man
be ashamed of his wrinkles? 1t is being
ashamed not of what he seems, but OF
what he is. Wrinkles in mans face are
a kind Of orthography, natures hand
writing, the shorthand of features, in
which the main ideas of a mans life are
set down without his knowing il, and in
spite OF himself. and in the very midst of
his denials. 1t is language without a

THE arrests of two boys of well-known
families recently in New York for stealing
afforded an opportunity for some of the
newspapers TO discuss the mental respon-
sibility of minors in such matters. One
peculiar view taken was that a lad whose
body has grown at the cost of the mental
faculties may well be doubted to have will
power sufficient to resist temptations of
khIs sort, and that the tendency of the
youth OF the period is to be fast and money
Is the means to attain that end. This
view of such cases is at all events worth
thinking about. Charity and patience
with unfortunate boys who have been
tempted beyond their strength may result
In saving an occasional noble soul at least
and perhaps many of them.

THE paragraphers OF several New York
papers are very fond of making sport of
what they call "the sky-scrapers" of Chi
cago, referring to the craze prevalent there
of erecting buildings to dizzy heights.
Now, however. we note that this same
craze is spreading to the metropolis. A
New York insurance company proposes to
erect building with twelve stories, with a
sort of high gable attachment that will add
materially to its sky-scrsping appearan ce.
The street frontage will be only trife
over thirty feet. 1t will resemble an

An Apology.

1t is with considerable embarrassment
that we say TO our readers this morning
that it has been placed without our power
to furnish any more of the series of nine
teenth century articles, several OF which
have already appeared in THE WEEKLY
SENTINEL and which attracted much favor
able criticism. The following letter ex-
plains the matter and we trust relieves
THE SUNDAY SENTINEL of all responsibility
in the matter:
To THE EDIToR-Sir: Owing to the fact
that so much general unplessntness has
been caused by the omission of the fourth
chapter of the Nineteenth Century
Civilization" we have decided to discon-
tinue the series. We admit that it was a
mistake on our part, but it was unavoid-
able, and the error cannot now be cor
rected.

What Senator Turpis Says.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Z.
S. E. Morss, Esq. indianapolis, Ind:
My DEAR SRI have carefully read
"The Popular History of Indiana" and
have verified its data by comparison with
older and larger works. 1t is an excellent
abridgement of our state annals, elegant,
accurate, in style admirably adapted to
the character of the book. The table of
contents and list of illustrations make a
very complete index, adding to its prac-
teal use for ready reference.
Yours truly,

THE lynching at Port Jsrvis,N. Y, OF a
negro who had committed brutal crime
demonstrates that human nature is much
the same the world over, and especially is
this true il the conditions and environ
ments resemble. Some OF our old-time
phiIsnthropists are prone to seek for the
reason Of the frequent southern lynchings
Is the fact that slavery had so demoralized
the white population that lswlessness now
finds in il eager and alert advocates. The
Port Jervis tragedy would point in a diff
ferent direction. The people there are
highly cultivated, living not far from the
metropolis Of the United States and sur
rounded by all the appliances Of the most
advanced civilization. Yet they lynched

President ELIOT of Harvard recently as
serted that throughout northern Europe
the-e is a better system of free schools
than that of this country. The statement
has occasioned considerable criticism and
demands are being made that the presi-
dent prove his assertion. We have an
idea that he will fail to do this. The cur
ricuIurn of our common schools in Indiana
is almost perfect and no doubt is fully
equal to that OF any country. Perhaps in
Q general way the discipline of European
schools is more rigid, and with some old
fashioned martinets probably this would
make them seem to be better. but we
doubt if the general results are any more
desirable.

Away. AWAY.

Away. away from musty room
From toll and chase for gain,
Let troubles all, and cares behind
Let nature thee ordain.
Away, away the bluebird calls,
From morn till fades the day,
The robin sings. the meadow lark,
This gladstone roundalay.
Away, away to hill and dell.
To meadows green and fair,
To merry brook, TO babbliDg spring,
Where balmy is the air.
Away 70 woods and shady hooks
Where flowers thee invite,
To where in every BLADE of grass
Is pictured new delight
Away. away TO azure skies
To clouds enshrined in gold
To where thy eyes in blissful dreams
a paradise behold.
Away, away TO fertile 6elds
That promise golden grain,
To where the bells of lowing herds
Contentedness proclaim.
Away to where thy happy song
A joyous echo wakes,
Where spring presides, where mirth abides,
New lease thy life pariakes.

EACH session of congress the necessity
for provision of law permitting the presi-
dent to veto individual items in general
appropriation bills becomes more ap-
parent. Every session unnecessary and
vicious appropriations are carried in the
general bills, because the good accom-
plished by preventing them would be
more than offset by the evils arising from
the failure of meritoriOus and necessary
appropriations which must stand or fall
with them. This years river and harbor
bill is a sample. 1t contains lot OF small
grabs which have been logrolled into the
bill and some big ones. Now there is a
fair prospect that necessary public works
will be stopped because the two houses
can not agree on what steals shall be in
serted and what omitted. But if agree
ment is reached on this point the presi-
dent will be confronted with two
horns OF a sad dilemma. If he
heads off the vicious expenditure of
public money he will also prevent its wise
and needed outlay; and if he permits the
proper appropriations he will become, in
a measure, a party to the plumber of the
treasury through the improper ones. In
either case he will be mercilessly criticised
by the people hurt. 1t is high time the
chief executive was relieved from the ne
cessity of making an annual compromise
with his conscience.

THE dispatches announce the death at
New York of Miss Middle MORGAN, a
woman remarkable for her peculiar tai
ents and the direction they took. For
years Miss MORGAN was the live stock
reporter of the New York Times, and to the
trade she was known as the best in the
country. Her predictions on the mar
etrarely went wrong, and her familiarity
with what bad always been regarded
as a purely masculine calling was
o source Of greatest wonderment. Though
OF somewhat masculine appearance she
never lost her feminine dignity or
character and possessed the respect Of all
with whom she came in contact. Der
success in the peculiar calling 10 which
che devoted her life is surely a big
argument for the equal suffragists.

THAT rollicking, slap-dash organ of
smart New York society, TolVn Topics,
pays its respects to one of Indiana's
metropoli in its current issue. We quote
the paragraph entire, and can only account
for it on the theory that New York is be-
coming jealous of Fort Wayne:
One of the most significant, and vet
least conspicuous, political signs of
the day has come from a town
within long range gunshot of Pres
ident HARRIsON'S home. The repub-
lican delegates to the Minneapolis con-
vention, chosen by the citizens of Fort
WAYNE, Ind, have been 'strenuously in
structed to vote for BLAINE, SHERMAN,
MCKINLEY, LINCOLN, ALLISON, ALGER, or
even QUAY-anybod In short, in prefer
ence to HARRISON. So far, indeed, does
the feeling in that particular section of
Hoosierdom run counter to the present
occupant of the white house that the del
egates are forbidden to cast their votes for
him even in such an extreme
event as a nomination by acclama-
ton. To those unfamiliar with the char
acter of the particular locality that
has thus forcibly intimated its sentiment
toward fellow-resident of the benighted
state, the incident loses some of its mean
ing. But any one whom a perverse fate
has ever forced to sojourn among the
yokels and yahoos of that region derives
a graphic impression of the consummate
meanness, the ineffable pettiness, the ut
ter contemptibility of a man who could
arouse such hostile animosity in the deni-
zens of Fort Wayne. 1t was jury of that
town, it will be recalled, of whom Arte-
mus Ward used to relate that they brought
in a verdict of incest against a man on
trial for barn-burning. When reproved
by the Judge the foreman explained that
he and his colleagues were under the i'm
preston that incest and arson were the
same thing

IN the senate Thursday Mr.. TURPIE ex-
posed the reciprocity humbug in the most
artistic manner. He pointed out the fact
that the Mckinley act in its reciprocity
feature has taken the taxing power from
the house, its constitutional resting place,
and placed it in the hands Of the president
and the secretary of state. He called at
tention TO the fact that our reciprocity
treaties have had no visible effect on the
commerce of the world and but precious
little on the commerce of our own coun-
try. He showed that retaliation would
harm our people in the countries with
which we have no reciprocity far more
than reciprocity would benefit them in the
countries with which we have it. The alb
surdity of our position in releasing all
legislative control over our side of the bar
gain while we are forced to await the
pleasure of the legislative branches of
such petty local governments as that OF
Jamaica was shown in a way not exactly
pleasing to our national vanity but strictly
in accord with the existing facts. 1t was
in every way clear, able and effective
speech, and il widely read would clear the
political atmosphere OF the unhealthful
miasma created by the diplomatic fire.

A WAsnNGToN paper calls attention to
the fact that in the topmost attic of the
war building in that city is stored away a
very curious and unique collection ofpho-
tographs. The collection is composed Of
more than six hundred tin types, pictures
OF those who deserted the national flag
during the war between the states. The
surprising part OF this is that this collec-
ton was the result OF only one provost mar
shals work in the collecting OF the por-
traits of dsserters. II is stated that at
least 26S,000 men deserted during the war
deliberately and Of their own free will. IL
seems appalling that so large number
should have deserted when one remem-
bers the patriotic fervor that seemed to
influence all classes OF northern people
during the war period. However. there is
