racy had forced Cleveland to abandon the
cause of reform, nevertheless supported
him for denomination and reelection be-
cause OF Mr.. Cleveland's personality,
which Mr. Curtis described ''as by far the
most impressive in his party"
If Mr.. Blaine's nomination had been the
real trouble with Mr.. Curtis in 1854 he
would not have found it necessary to
leave the Republican party and help with
his pen to place in power the Democratic
party, which he had described to the Be-
publican convention of 1884 as ''falling
from power a. conspiracy against human
rights, and now attempting to sneak back
to power IS . conspiracy for plumber and
epoils."
Senator Edmunds refused to personally
speak for Blaine, but he urged his friends
not to vote for Cleveland, and in 1888 he was
for Harrison. as he is today, but Mr.. Cur.
It's not only helped to put tho Democracy
in power when Blaine was our candidate,
but in 1883 ana 1892, when Blaine was not
our candidate, Mr.. Curtis has advocated
the cause of the Democratic party. Whyf
He did it for tho same reason that he did
1t in 1884: the House of Harper ordered 1t.
Mr.. Curtis knew that the Republican
''civil service reform" than the Democ-
racy under Cleveland, and yet from 1884
to 1892 he was a. answering an advocate
Of the cause of the Democratic party as
though he had never voted the Republic
can ticket from 1856 to 1854
Had Mr.. Curtis been . statesman he
would never have left the Republican
party for the Democratic party; he doubt
less was greatly vexed by the nomination
of Blaine, but he never would have left his
party for the Democracy, if the House Of
Harper had not given him new sailing
ORDERS" There was no reason why the
House of Harper should not exercise their
free right Of choice and prefer the triumph
of the Democracy to that of the Republi-
can party, because the House Of Harper
did not sit in the Republi-
can national convention and tacitly
acquiesce in the vote which pledged to Mr..
Blaine the unanimous support of the con-
vention. As their editor it became nee.
essary for Mr.. Curtis to "boom" the cleo
ton of Cleveland or resign. He did not
resign; he ''took his medicine" and from
that hour he ceased to be potential pollt-
ical figure before the country; he was
obedient to his employers. but his politi-
cal opinions had no special weight, for the
country knew that Harper's Weekly fur.
nished its independent editor" with his
political principles, not Mr.. Curtis Har.
per's Weekly.
On this record it would seem q little
strained to call Mr.. Curtis "the Sir Gala
had, the Puritan knight Grant of pol
itics," as the Mugwump papers do. That
name was first applied to Wendell Phil
lips, who fairly earned it and never bar
tered it for any of the so-called prizes Of
life; the distance between Mr.. Phillips
and Mr.. Curtis was intellectually very
great, and the difference between them in
respect to moral courage of tho mighty
sort was considerable.

IGNORANCE is BLISS.

Notwithstanding the fact that the re-
publicans OF Lincoln claim TO have put
intelligent men on their School Commit
tee, member, who has been interviewed by
one Of their party organs, claims that they
do not know where to get the records re-
lating to the hiring OF the teachers and
janitors OF the Central Falls schools and
of the other districts OF the town.
1t il q well kdown fact, and man of
ordinary intelligence would be supposed
to know 1t, much less the "shining
lights" elected by the g. o. p, that the
Trustees OF the several districts have
charge OF the records relating TO contracts
Of the teachers and janitcrs, and in the
Central Falls case the Secretary Of the
Trustees, John n. Butman, Esq, is the
custodian.
The School Committee OF Lincoln ought
TO be aware OF the name Of the custodian,

contracts made and executed. by the Trus.

The farmers OF at least half dozen
States OF the Northwest are again com
planning this season OF the scarcity OF
Geld hands, and are anxious TO procure a
supply Of laborers to assist them in har-
vesting their crops. Thousands of men
can find employment, with good victuals
and fair pay, on the farms OF almost any
Northwestern State. The facts are OF in
terest to people out of work in our big
cities, and to immigrants arriving in our
ports, and likewise to few young Re-
publican politicians.
