lis Last Chancs Abandoned.

Mr.. Blaine has given up his last chsncs
for the presidency. There Is no reason to
question the sincerity Of his letter to Chair
man Clarkson. 1t is d very brief letter, and
assigns no reason for his course, but it is
emphatic. he says that his name will not
be presented to the Minneapolis convention.
Without doubt be is out Of the race for the
presidential nomination.
Il is admitted that be "a the
most conspicuous leader OF his party
and there is no doubt that hs could
have the nomination e be would make an
effort for IL, or even say he would accept it
il offered 70 MIN. IL Is true he has many
bitter enemies in his party, but then bis
party friends are numerous and influential
Since Lincoln's time no republican has had
suon O large and enthusiastic following.
The great mass IF republicans have for
him a stronger feeling than admiration.
Their regard for him is so great that they
are willing to make sacrifices to advances
bis political fortunes
There are probably two reasons for his
withdrawal. One IL his health, and the
other is the belief that he could not be
elected. 1t will be admitted now. probably,
even by those who have steadily denied it,
that his health is in precerious condition.
He had very severe attack of illness last
summer and he has been i'll a number OF
times since he resumed his duties in the state
department after his summer vacation.
Doubtless his physician has warned him
that he could not endure the strain of politi-
cal campaign. 1t would be folly for him to
risk bis lie iD pursuit Of an Office to which
be would have very little prospect OF being
elected and which be would not live to oc-
oupy probably il elected.
1t is pretty safe to assume that he looked
at the political situation carefully before he
decided that be would not be o candidate.
That be anxiously sought the presideu.
tial office for years there is DO doubt He
wanted the office not only for the great
honor attached TO IL. but also &c be in q
position TO reward the army of friends who
have been faithful to him throughout his
long political career.
Now that he is OUT Of the contest the
the newspapers will cease to pay so
much attention to the relations between
him and the President In fact, IL his
health is as bad as It is believed to be, he NAV
not continue in the cabinet much longer
With his retirement from that position he
would cease to be a factor in the politics of
the country. He would quickly become
only a memory, because he has done very
little that is calculated to keep his name
prominently before the country. He is not
the author of any great reform or of any
important legislation. but be has made an
impression that will last long after ha has
ceased to play part in the country's affairs.

Admit Democrats Only.

party in this state will not meet before the
early part Of May. in all probability. The
state executive committee does not meet IN

be too long time for the election 81 state

There is no reason for an early convention
ana there is one strong reason for a late one.
That reason. In substance, is that a big effort
is being made 20 get following IN this

that any of the third party men would
take part in the democratic primaries or
seek to be sent as delegates TO the state con-

them an opportunity to do 50. Let it be
understood that those who are seen in the
camp Of the third party will not be recog-
nIzed as democrats.
The third party has not made much prog
ress recently. Indeed. II is a question
whether it bss not lost ground. 1t certainly
has in the western states. and it is pretty
safe to say that it has in ell the southern
states Only few comparatively in this

Keelez,e Cure for the Grip.

DIR. Kelley, famous for his bichloride Of
gold cure Tor drunkenness, has a remedy
for the grip which. he says. is infallible, and
which the Chicago Tribune thinks ought to
be given trial by physicians In all parts
OF the country. It is asafetida.
It is a loud smelling remedy. aud IL any
thing will cause the grip bacillus to leave
che human system 10 probably will. About
every creature that has the sense Of smell is
anxious TO get as far away from it as posi-
BILE.
But there may be virtue in 1t as a remedy
for the grip, DIR. Keeley says there Is very
great virtue in it. He administers it in a
capsule and hence the patient is not dis
tnrbed by the odor of it. And 1t is alleged
to be harmless drug. In private letter
to friend who had used the remedy, but
not until the disease had secured firm
hold upon him. DIR. Kelley says:
II have telegraphed you this morning TO
use asafetida In pill form, sixteen grains
four times day. This is as much a specific
for the grip as quinine is for ague, and It
is as innocent as Quinine or any other drug
having specific virtue. | sincerely hope
and trust that the necessity for taking it
l am very anxious indeed that you shall be
protected in everything in which l can ad-
wise. l do nothing empirically, aud my
friends. when they know me as you do, be-
lieve in me- Hence, l say t. you that since
the grip first made its appearance / have
never lost a case. nor even had a man go to
bed from its effects, though have had, as
you can understand, hundreds Of cases here
among patients. know and can safely say
that asafetida is specific for this disease
and an innocent one. wish the physicians
all over the world would recognize this
fact. 1t would save many lives and much
suffering"
If asafetida is an innocent specific for the
grip there can be no harm in trying 1t. The
doctors in regular practice do not claim
that they have remedy for it. About all
they attempt to do is to administer RENE
dies that lower the fever and relieve the
headache and the other ache which appears
to be In the bones.
1t is probable that most physicians would
hesitate 60 use any remedy suggested by
DR.. Keelsy, but he is as likely as almost any
other doctor TO stumble on truth or make
a valuable discovery IN medicine. If 1t be-
true that be has treated hundreds OF griI
cases with esafetida and has never lost one
or had q patient to go TO bed, he has been Sc
much more successful In dealing with the
grip than most doctors that it would b(
well to find out II there is any special virtue
In his method OF treatment.

Georgia, Who appeared in support Of the
bill introduced BY Representative Watson
OF that state, for the improvement Of the
Savannah river. The bill appropriates
about $4,000 for the improvement Of
the river between Augusta aud Sa-
vannah, and about $4,000 for
the improvement Of the river above
Augusta. The report Of the government
engineer who examined the river recon-

Mr.. Walsh made the opening address.
He showed that the Savannah river above

received large appropriations. In compar-
ison with other rivers the Savannah had

general government He referred to the
expenditure by the city Of money to main-
tain her position and TO utilize the CONNER

The city consumed Sc, 600 bales Of cotton in
her factories every year. 1t was the dis

point What the people of the city asked
was that this competitive point be MAIN
tanned and be made available. The city
had no fight to make against the railroads,
nor any desire to destroy them.
DREDGING NEEDED.
Representative Watson also addressed the
committee. He argued that the river was
competitor of the railroads and that but
for the river the railroads of Carolina and
Georgia would have practically monopoly
OF the immense business Of the Savannah
river valley. By keepiDg the river

other distractions the river from Augusta

What the delegation asked was that
these distractions be removed so that
navigation may be unimpeded. The
improvement of the river would result In
great benefits to the people. These benefits
would not be confined to Augusta but they

The Lost Chord,
Hon Puncl

HTOW fuHCns
Seated one day In my study,
was anxious and i'll at ease
And tapped at the window wildly
And ratified bunch OF keys:
Unless 1 could manage to scare him,
All hope Of repose was 1oored,
For borne like a wall on an easterly gale
heard that dread Lost Chord -
made ambiguous signals
That l wanted the tune to cease,
For had work to finish,
And he was a foe to peace;
But the grinder only answered
With a fixed demoniac grin,
And steadily turned the handle
And poured his distracting din.
/ know not of what he was dreaming
AS softly stole aside,
And thoughtfully lifted scuttle Of Goals,
And opened the window wide;
Though judge from his satisfied shipper
That his dreams were of anything but
OF a blackened mound and a muf1ed sound
And window suddenly shut.
1t may be they'll take the pieces
To his far Italian home,
And carve from his bones mosaical stones
Topave st. Peters at Rome;
Or, If they don't-it's the same to me,
But this I'm prepared to maintain:
That the Chord" he started to play is lost.
And will never be found again
