She Says,
For the Sake of Your Grand
child's Future"
She Asserts MIR. Blaine Has
Taken the Advantage.
Mary Nevins-BIaine's Reply.

Sioux FALLS, s. D., March Mrs.
James G. Blaine. Jr.. has furnished the
Associated Press on open letter in reply
to the Personal Statement" made by
james G. Blaine, Sr. 1t is as follows:
My DEAR SIR-You have furnished
the public with a remarkable production
under the caption of "a Personal State
ment." | consider it my duty at this
time to address you with that degree of
dignity which your position as a public
man entities you to. l acknowledge your
well rendered. richly deserved fame
as a diplomat and appreciate
fully the weight which your
utterances possess as fully as do | appre-
ciate my own weakness and my total ina
bility to cor with you in a personal en-
counter; but [ hal expect from you that
consideration and honorable treatment
which | am sure your keen sense of equity
and fairness will dictate. . The powerful
man OF a great nation will surely accord
to a weak and defenseless woman her full
mead of justice.
You surely can ill-afford to withhold il.
L wish it distinctly understood by you
that | am not asking sympathy. l re-
specially demand Justice. 1t is in your
power to grant this simple request. 1t
remains 10 be seen if you will do il. |
will aid you by suggestion. Have the
kindness to publish in connection with
you have quoted from. Do not, like a
shrewd and unprincipled person, select
only such pages as may be needed to make
out the case, but give the entire contents
to the public that | may be judged
righteously.
You have the documents surely. else
you could not quote from them. | will
give you sufficient time in which to con-
form to my reasonable demand, say ten
days. Ii at the end of that time you fail
to respond. | shall deem it my duty to
give. in substance, their contents and cor
roborate my statement by publishing the
letters from your son both prior to and
subsequent to our marriage. r
You know full well your charges against
me regarding the marriage are unfounded.
| give you ample opportunity to retract.
You have two alternatives, the one sug-
gested, or silence. Your consideration of
your grandson will surely induce you to
decide in favor OF the first. This is not a
proposed diplomatic engagement on my
part, for your success IN dealing with
powerful nations is too we'll known for me
to meet you on any other ground h as
the mother Of your grandson.
| take it that your sentiment was
prompted chiefly by the remarks of Judge
Thomas in rendering his decision which
gave me my freedom. l have no defense
to offer in his behalf. l simply declare,
now that you have arraigned me by use
of fragmentary quotations from my love
letters to your son. that you he fair
enough to publish the originals in full. l
will then prove to the world that your
son was far from a weaklinp and that YOU,
his proud father, well knew it long before
he married me. Truly yours,
MARY NEvINs- BLAINE.

WASHINGTON, March THE Catholic
church aud the charge that it maintains a
lobby at Washington to manipulate ap-
preparations in behalf of Indian sectarian
schools, was the subject of a three hours
acrimonious discussion In the house to-
dav. The Indian appropriation bill was
the measure under consideration and the
immediate cause of the religious discussion
was the section making an appropriation
for the Carlisle Indian school. 1t was
stated in the house that Capt. Pratt of
the United States army. superintendent
OF hat school, in speaking OF the attack
made In the house against the a%ppropria-
ton for the Indian school, had SAID:
They we're made through the Catholic
church, in paying congressman to attack
the national schools, because they are det
rimental to their parochial schools, which
are given three times the amount by the
government that other denominations
receive"
Congressman Mansur of Missouri,
Stockdale of Mississippi, and Pendleton
of West Virginia. who were understood,
by implication, to be the congressman re-
ferred to, made a lively attack on Capt.
Pratt and demanded as a penalty for his
utterances that the 81 900 appropriation
he annually received as superintendent of
the Carlisle Indian school be stricken
from the bill.
He had many valient defenders in the
house. however, and it was more his relt-
Grated declaration by telegraph today
than the original newspaper statement
that finally led the house to adopt the
amendment cutting off his salary as su-
perintendent. Several of hls congressional
friends who doubted whether the superIn-
tendent had made the statement attrib-
uted to him telegraphed today and re-
ceived the sollowing reply:
MY remarks were that Catholics got
more than double as much of the Indian
school appropriations as all other denomi-
nations combined; that they maintain a
powerful lobby in Washington and man
lpulate politics to accomplish their pur-
poses. These were general statements,
having no bearing whatever on individual
members of congress. much less to Mr..
Mansur, In whose general views | concur"
This was quite satisfactory to Mansur,
but not very consoling to anybody else,
and its reading had the effect Of causing
the house PROMPTLY to adopt the proposed
amendment The committee of the
whole then rose and reported the bill to
the house. The previous question having
been ordered, Pickler of South Dakota

Salt for Clearing Water.

The formation of mud shoals at the
mouths of rivers is due to the admix-
ture of salt water with fresh water
holding fine particles Of mud in solution.
The pure water is so affected by the
contact that it throws down the mud
which it might otherwise have held in
suspension for many days. The action
Of salt in thus clearing water was an
nounced to the British geological soci-
ETY. not long since as new discovery;
but the American journal Of Science
and Arts asserts that the clearing OF
water by salt, as well as by alum, has
been popular recipe for ages. It also
mentions an American publication in
which the action ct the mouths Of riv-
Drs Is pointedly referred to.
