Blaine Not q C.ndidate.

4uo CcIthluCy tuaC Lne IOremOHt Cltl-
zen of the country will not be the next
President OF the United States. and the
presumption that he will never occupy
that great Office, cannot fail to attiict =
multitude of his tellow-citizens with a
keen n of personal grief.
Having reached this determination,
MIR. Blaine shows his native sagacity
and loyalty in the time and manner of
its announcement. His letter to Mr..
Clarkson is explicit and conclusive. He
says not merely that he is not a candi-
date, but also that his name will not 90
before the convention. He means to
end now and finally the uncertainty
which has been felt by the leaders and
the masses of the Republican party.
Had the possibility that he might
be willing to accept the nomina-
common that his health or his disin.
ciination would interfere, the party
could not nave concentrated it's ener-
gies for the impending conflict. But
this decisive announcement, at the
right moment and with the right inn
pulse, opens the ways for harmonious
and fruitful activity. What we have
said already should be repeated here,
that Mr.. Blaine has had a perfect right
to allow his name to be used in connec.
ton with the presidency while holding
the office of secretary OF state, and mo-
body has pretended to doubt his right
except in the silly hope of producing
discord in the Republican party. Gen.
Harrison and Mr.. Blaine have had no
misunde rstanding on that subject.
They have appreciated the matter in ali
it's relations. :
Those who are most reluctant to lose
the satisfaction of voting for Mr..
Blaine will cordially acknowledge
that the President deserves the undi-
vided confidence of the party, and that
he has made the election of a Republic
can successor the most encouraging
probability of the present year. Andin
common with all loyal members of the
party they will be apt to reason that this
probability can be most securely con-
irmed by his nomination to succeed
himself. The party has put great and
benehcent policies in operation dur
ing the last three years. and the
produced are the most conspicu.
Gus features of the time; but the coun.
try does not yet enjoy the full measure
of prosperity which they are capable of
engendering.
In accepting as final Mr.. Blaine's de-
termination not to be q presidential
candidate, the party, and, we believe,
the whole country, will still hope to
have the benefit for many years to
come of his invaluable services in a
public station. His knowledge, sagacity
and experience, his comprehensive un-
derstanding of the American people
and American institutions, and his fer
vent patriotism, are a national possess
sion which must not be diverted from
the service of the nation.-New York

Becoming Left-handed Suddenly.

Three years ago, says the Boston Post,
a young lady of Fall River, Mass, was
hit upon the left side of her head by u
falling sign as she was walking along a
street in Boston. This Was followed by
brain fever. After some weeks she was
as we'll in mind and body as v but
from a right-handed person she had be-
come SO left-handed that she could
neither cut, sew nor write with her right
things with her left. Her right hand
was just ABOUT as useful as her left had
been before she was hurt. What il
strange is that, with so recent a change
in the use of her hands, she never
makes an awkward motion, and is as
graceful in the use of her left hand asif
she had been born left. handed.

Wool and Revenue.

Here is a simple question for tariff
reformers. They propose to take off all
the duties on wool and all the compen-
satory duties on wooden goods, and in
sist that the home manufacture would
be better off and better able to sustain
itself against foreign competition than
it is now. 1t must be assumed that
some of them honestly believe this.
Very we'll. gentlemen; what are you go
ing to do tor the necessary revenueo
Granulated sugar at i cents per pound
against 60 cents eighteen months ago,
mea ls something for the working peo-
pie. Perhaps no article could be named
which is more universally consumed by
the entire American people; certainly
not wheat bread, for in large sections
corn is almost exclusively used instead.
The people consume more than so
They have gained by a single change of
duty from 81 to $l.37 for e person;
from S. to $6.S7 for every family. Do
the tariff reformers propose to put this
burden back? They are we'll aware
that they have not the courage to sug-
gest such a thing. What are they to do.
then, for the needed revenue?
The treasury has no larger revenue
now than it requires. In fact, most of
the reformers insist that it has too little,
that it's balances are improperly de-
pleted, and that bankruptcy is ahead
unless this Congress carefully reduces
expenditures. The officiahreports show
but a narrow and scanty balance for the
future, even if the sinking fund be dis
regarded, and if no appropriation should
be made in excess Of the estimates,
which do not include many things for
which Congress is sure to spend money.
The duties on wool during the last
fiscal year amounted to $685. 6S, and
with the duties on waste and rags,
which it is also proposed to make FREQ,
to SIS, ,795. The duties on the remain
ing WOODEN goods amounted to 8 1885,
926, and as tie value of these was but
$4S,02S, SS2, and the duties proposed by
tariff reformers would not exceed 40
per cent. dd .ydlorem, the amount COL
lected would be not more than $l7, 2OO,-
OOO. 1t is asserted by the reformers
that the manufacturer would be able to
sustain himself as we'll as he does now;
that is, the imports of goods would be
no greater. Hence no increase in the
evenu from wool and woolens be-
yond the above-named ST., 200, OOOshould
he expected, which would be Sg24 ,2O9,-
al less than the revenue from the same
articles last year.
Some other Ia must be imposed il
this amount of duty is to be taken of.
1t will not do to put back the duties on
sugar and molasses. 1t would be absurd
