BET ZEN THE LINES.

We have noticed frequently of late
that our morning Mugwump contem-
porary has been so intently singing its
tuneful melodies in praise of the Fat
Prophet of Buzzard's Bay as to overlook
the havoc which the Office cat was play
ing with the editorial copy.
|" Two days ago the Journal remarked
that "there is no reason whatever for
doubling Mr.. Blaine's sincerity in an
nouncing his withdrawal from the
Presidential contest" How the wish
fathers the thought I! Note the ghoulish
glee of the Mugwump as he seizes and
presses TO his heart the idea that Mr.
Blaine is no longer Presidential pos
sibility. But that word sincerity
that is an emendation of the cat, for
after months and years during which
the Journal has in season and out
sneered at Mr.. Blaine as charlatan and
tin statesman, we could scarcely expect
it, even in its widest vagaries, to at
tribute sincerity to him. This is a case,
however, wherein the cat is wiser than
the editor. 1T is hard, " the Journal pro-
ceeds to remark, "for the hysterical par
tisan to give him up, because he must
now turn to Mr.. Harrison" (by the way
this same Mr.. Harrison is President of
the United States though the journal
may not realize that fact) Now "hys-
terical partisan" is phrase that the
Journal would do well TO avoid. 1t is
not beyond the memory of most of us
when this same sheet became partially
at least the property of certain gentle
men, who We're also interested in a
wooden mill. Whether that mill might
not have been more successful than
il has been is of course a question
that cannot now he decided. But that
is perhaps of little consequence. The
point is that while other wooden manu-
facturers were and are making great
successes in their business under pres
ent conditions, these gentlemen wanted
free wool, so that they might DE more
successful. And straightway the Jour
nat was seized with an attack of free
wool hysteria, which has lasted TO this
day. Perhaps that is not partisanship
but considering the matter ON all sides
perhaps the Journals cat would be wise
hereafter in blue penciling the words
"hysterical partisan"
Lastly the Journal says 1T now
remains for the Democratic party TO de-
eide whether il is desirable to fall on
the neck of Hill and defeat. or pull
themselves together for success" What
a confession for the Democratic organ
10 make. 1T now remains" that is il
remains after Mr. Blaine has with
drawn. that the Democratic party may
be- successful or in plainer form. the
Journal cmfcsscs that with Mr.. Blaine

have pulled themselves ,ogether. and
that defeat was certain.

contemporary would be willing 20

THAT BLAINE CANARD.

The laborious idleness of Congress
puts the Washington correspondents at
their wits ends to fill up their columns;
for in no other way is it possible to ac-
count for the story which was set afloat
yesterday, with solemn assurance of its
authenticity and full development of
details, that Mr.. Blaine, as soon as he
could do so without having the act un-
pleasantly connected with his Clarkson
letter, would write another epistle re-
signing the State portfolio, and would
then be off TO Cuba to nurse constitu-
ton hopelessly shattered.
There must be more than one CORE
spondent whose moral nature has suf-
fered such shocks as Mr.. Blaine's health
is supposed TO have done, for when the
double-leaded columns were unfolded
before the great secretary he smiled and
exercised self-restraint in that he did
not quote Rats! Rats For surely the
words of Flower must have occurred to
him.
Blaine is not i'll. Blaine will not leave
the Cabinet. Blaine will support the
Republican candidate if indeed the will
of the people does not force his own will
and make him that candidate and our
next President.
