BLAINE'S SILENCE
CAUSING UNEASINESS AMONG POLL
TlClANS AT WASHINGTON.

Elkins Thinks the Secretary is Ont Of
the Race but Tom Reed Thinks Other
wise-Anti-Hill Democracy Convenes.
WASHINGTON, y June 1.-Secretafy Blaine
WAS AZ the state department early yester
lay morning and was very busy receiving
palers who filled the ante-room, awaiting
an audience with him. Though the cabi'
net met at 11:30 o'clock, Mr. Blaine did
not attend. This gave rise to considerable
comment. Mr. Blaine has not seen the
president since before he visited New
York.
The president and members of his adj
ministration still maintain that Blaine
will not allow the use of his name, nor
will he accept a nomination obtained
through hotly contested struggle. Sec
retary Elkins, in alluding to the attitude
of Elaine, says he cannot understand the
meaning of his silence. He says that the
secrstary of state has from the beginning
told him that he would not allow the use
of haS name, nor accept the nomination.
That in several of the conversations with
him (Blaine) he told him that if he wanted
the nomination he could have it, as the
president would not stand in his way, but
he invariably replied that he did not want
the nomination, and that he did not be-
lieve he could undergo the worry and ex-
citcnlent attending presidential cleo
tion Therefore when the president had
received assurances of this character from
the secretary, he assented to the use of his
name for denomination. If Blaine has
changed his mind concerning the matter,
he has never given any intimation, added
Secretary Elkins, to the president or any
member of his administration.
There is Much Criticism
here Of the position taken by Secretary
Foster in an interview in which he reiter-
ates what has been stated heretofore, that
the oppos ition to the president is being
carried on by few disappointed poll
ticians. The course of the president and
members of his administration in laying
so much stress upon this allegation is re-
garded as mistake, and will have a
tendency to react, and will simply stimu
late those who oppose second term on
the ground that they believe in a new
deal d a stimulus to exertion. Senator

The result of the republican caucus at
Rutland, for the election of delegates to the
state convention is another illustration of
the fact that even newspaper prophets are
sometimes without honor in their own
country. The Rutland Herald has been
sitting up nights and shouting itself hoarse
in its efforts to discredit Col. Levi X. Fuller.
Nothing has been too mean for it to say
against him or against any man or news
paper, that dared to speak in his favor.
1t has kept up its guerilla campaign for
months, and if its charges and insinuations
had had any basis whatever Col. Fuller
would have been driven out of the field
completely; but the result was just the re-
VERSE of this. The Heralds attacks upon
Col. Fuller have only served to strengthen
him, and in Rutland where the Herald and
its record are best known the republicans
not only ignored it; but repudiated its in
fluence by electing a delegation instructed
to support Col. Fuller for governor.
The Herald has said all that could be said,
and more than could be truthfully said,
against Col. Fuller and it has met its re-
ward. Republicans in other parts Of the
State will now appreciate ii, indeed, thevl
were not afrTacy aware, or Tie cllaIaclef Or
the opposition to him in Rutland county,
and we shall now expect to see the party
throughout the State rapidly swing into
line for Col. Fuller Burlington Free

Gerrymandering.

1t is quite obvious that the device of
gerry mander and the disregard of the
requirement of equal population in rep
resentation are being more and more
resor,ed TO both in respect of congress
sional representation and in the cleo
ton of state legislatures. And it is
equally obvious to those who have
studied the history of civil institutions,
that such practices against really dem
ocratic and republican government will,
If they are permitted to continue and to
grow, inevitably result--frst: in the de-
struction of the liberties and immunilies
of the great body of people, and sec
ondly, In a convulsion wherein the peo-
pie will, at whatever cost, and by what
ever means may seem most effective,
repossess themselves of the rights out of
which they have been thus defrauded.
To think otherwise implies a want of
faith in the possibilities of republican
government founded upon justice and
equal rights. 1t is, of course, perfectly
within the competence of congress to
provide for really contiguous territory
and for really equal numbers in each
district. Ex-senator EdmundS, in The
Forum.

Barnum's Advice to Bows.

The habit of reading does not come,
Minerva-like, full grown. Like every
thing else we do for advantage, whether
we are men or boys, it needs usually to
be cultivated, though many boys nat
urally love to read. You don't mind, l
am certain, whiting with your Jack
knife for a whole day if you wish to
make tug-boat, or you will work Wig
orously to make kite. 1t is all very
we'll to do this, but, you see, it requires
A certain amount of work to secure your
triumph and JOY with these things. |
am sure there never was a boy who
would hesitate to do this work when he
thought what the result was to be.
Abraham Lincoln, of whom you have
all heard, laid the foundation of his
greatness when he was boy by taking
time to read. He did not have the
great variety of good books and papers
that are to be had now; but he found
The best he could and made the most of
them. AS gas and kerosene lamps were
not in use in the time of his bOyhood,
and even candles were not to be OBJ
tanned by him, he was glad to avail him
self of torch made from a pine knot,
and sitting over the fireplace on a
winter night in his home, which was
rude cabin, / dare say he enjoyed what
he read better than anything he found
TO read in later life, when all the modern
books and facilities were at his hand.
| know this is not new story that /
am telling you; but it illustrates SO
b well what | want to say that l would be
glad if you could hear it over and over
again, so that you may never forget it.
1t supplies for all of us, in fact, very
good lesson to remember. 1t makes
emphatic the truth that what we get
through difficulties we get most thor
oughly and retain longest. You will
learn when you are older that into all
your attainments and successes a ques-
ton enters which we call cost. In
other words, you have had to give
something for them - time, toll or
money. AT any rate, either you have
given it, if you have obtained the OBJ
lect you desired, or some one else has
given it for you. Do you remember
the story of the king who asked the
great mathematician for some easy
method whereby his boy, whom he in
clined to favor, might be enabled to OBJ
tain knowledge of mathematics? But
he was told there is no royal road to
geometry" Neither is there to any
desirable success. 1t would not have
been favor to the kings son if there
had been, and he had been allowed to
travel it.-Hdrper'S Young People.

Wisely invested will soon double itself, and
there are often as many elements of safety
surrounding good paying investment as
one that pays small dividends. The earn
ing capacity of every investment is the
foundation of dividends. The Atkinson

lied in 1887, has paid its stockholders nine
semi-annual dividends of five per cent each
ten per cent year, and is earning hand
some surplus besides. 1t is buy and sell

Little Pearl.
ny NJ. X. II.

l wish the little boys and girls would
draw their chairs up very close to me,
while 1 tell them a true story about
dear little girl, who may be related to
seme of you. ] shall call her name
Pearl, although her real name is the
name of another beautiful stone men,
toned in the Bible. Can you guess
what it is?
She is not truly Indian girl, if she
does live in India; for when she first
opened her eyes and saw her mamma
it was in Massachusetts.
When she was only three months old
she started to sail across the big ocean;
not in tub, nor in an ark of bulrushes,
but on large steamer, with a great
many people. What she saw and heard
there, l am sure, she has never told
anybody. If people did say she was
beautiful Pearl, she did not grow proud
at all, or, if they called her " a wise lit
tie woman," she never talked about it
afterwards; but was as pure and bright
as any pearl could be.
think she never told her mamma,
when she landed in Bombay, what she
thought of the strange sights and sounds
all around her.
Was she not funny girl?
When our little Pearlie was three
years old, she had a little baby brother,
whom we will call Charlie. She was
very fond of him, and said he looked
Just like Jesus Twist" She said
such funny things that her brothers and
sisters had to laugh, and 1 am sure her
papa and mamma often looked quite
smiling, too! The children have, of
late, divided up into parties, saying,
Willie is on my side," or "Daisy is
my comrade"
A few days ago Pearlie said to Will
lie-he was claiming Charlie as his COM
rade-" o no, Willie; 1 tell you Charlie
is Gods comrade, because God gave
him to US. God saw that us children
hadn't any baby, and he gave Charlie
to us to love and be good to, aud 80, of
course, Charlie is Gods comrade, isn't
hep"
You see, she thought if God gave
the little brother to them, none of them
had any right to claim him as their own.
Don't you think she is really little
pearl?
