MIR. BLA1NE's WITHDRAWAL.

Mr.. BIaine's letter though it does not
go so far as to declare that under no cir.
cumstances will he accept the Republican
nomination for the Presidency cannot be
5 interpreted otherwise than as meaning
that he does not want the nomination,
and that if thrust upon him it will be in
opposition to his desires. What con-
siderations have led Mr.. Blaine to decline
a nomination-for his nomination was so
certain if he remained in the field that
his letter is really something more than
declining to be candidate-is definitely
known probably to but very few. 1t is
altogether likely that he distrusted his
health and feared that it would not prove
equal to the tremendous strain a Presi-
dental campaign would put upon it.
Of course his withdrawal will prove a
great disappointment to Republicans all
over the country, and no doubt the ma
jority of his party will regard it as very
unfortunate occurrence, inasmuch as they
undoubtedly considered him the strong
est candidate and the one who could
most easily carry the country.
OF the effect of his withdrawal on the
other candidates it is too early to speak
definitely. 1t can be safely said however
that it helps all who are in the field now
OF may be in the field hereafter; for his
nomination was SO certain had he re-
manned available that as long as he con-
tinued in the field it can be said without
exaggeration that others had no chances
worth talking about. While it is quite
generally assumed that Mr.. Blaine's &C
ton leaves the field practically clear for
Mr.. Harrison, that is by no means certain.
Mr.. Harrison doubtless has a coed deal
of strength, but his strength is not so
overwhelming as to deter every
body else from entering, the field as was
the case with Mr.. Blaine's. To contend
for the nomination while MI. Blaine was
available was hopeless task. To con-
tend with Mr.. Harrison is not hopeless
though the chances at the present time
are in Mr.. Harrisons favor. 1t can not
therefore be safely assumed at this time
that Mr.. Harrison's name will be the
only one presented to the national con-
yention

THE EFFECT or ENFORCEMENT.

Mr.. Trefetnen says, according to the Press
reporter, that his firm has dealings with over
500 fisherman and that the decrease i'll drunk
enness among them to-day as compared with
that of rs years ago is very notlceable-Argus
Why not quote Mr.. Trefethen fairly?
This is what he said:
"a great many fishermen have business rela-
tious with us directly and indirectly. The
number OF fishermen in our employment is usu-
allV about $50; and we have dealings With more
than 500. The effect of the enforcement OF the
law is very apparent TO us Formerly w. there here

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

Readers of the February Forum will
find their attention attracted first to two
articles relating to National Elections,
one by ex-senator Edmunds; the other
by Hon. E. J. Phelps, late minister to
England. Senator Edmunds believes that
grave perils to our liberties exist in the
present tendencies of parties to gain tenn
porary advantage by sharp practices like
the gerrymander and the Michigan plan.
MI. Phelpss article is devoted to an az
gument in favor of change in the
method of choosing presidential electors.
He would have the electors at large
selected by vote of the State, and the
others by districts. The Nicaragua
Canal is the subject of two articles, one
by Hon. Warner Miller, the other by
Capt. W. L. Merry, late President of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
Senator G.. K. Davis writes of Our Lake
Commerce and Ways to the Sea; Gov.
Irwin, of Arizona, of A Great Domain by
Irrigation; Prof F. G. Peabody, of the
German Labor Colonies; DR.. Albert
Shaw, of A Year of General Booth S
lation and Free COINAGE; Col. Chas. w.
Larned, on is Our Military Training
Adequate?; H. w. Mabie, of A Year S
Literary Production; and Horace White,
of Suppression of Lotteries by Taxation.
Admirers of Herbert Spencer will be
pleased to find in the February Arena,
an article on the life and work of the
great essayist by w. II. Hudson, for
many years Mr.. Spencer's private Seere-
tary. The subject of National Elections
is treated by Robert S. Taylor, who sees
in the tendency to gerrymander and sim
liar devices, great national peril. AL
though last in the table of contents, the
story by Hamlin Garland is by no means
of less interest Mr.. Garland is OF
Maine descent, having been born OF
parents who emigrated from this State
to the West. He writes upon western
subjects. and is creating a prominent
place for himself in literary circles in
Boston. His story in the Arena, which
began with the last number, is entitled
A Spoil of Office, and is a story illustra-
tive of life in the modern West. Other
articles of interest, are The Railroad
Problem, by ex-Gov: Lionel A. Sheldon;
the Solidarity of the Race, by Henry
Wood; Hypnotism, by B. 0. Flower;
Inspiration and Heresy, by P. Cameron.
3. G. L.; The sub-treasury Plan, by G
G. Post; The Atonement, by Rev. B. E.
Howard; and The Last American Mon
arch (Don Pedro III by James Realf, Jr.
The initial article in the New England
Magazine for February is a beautifully
illustrated one, dealing with the life and
work of Corot the great French painter
1T is written by his godson, Camille
Thurganger, whose family was intimate
with the artist and his family for num-
Der of years. Some Letters of Wendell
Phillips to Lydia Maria Child will recall
many memories of the great orator. AL
interested in the material development OF
New England will turn to George A.
Rich's article on The Granite Industry in

its makers in polished periods pleasing to
the ear and agreeable to the sentiment Of
his audience. The tariff was freely dis
cussed and the Major, who has been aid
ing In the extinction Of the third partyites
in old Virginia, paid bis respects humrous-
ly to that corporation of cranks. There's
"the pith o. sense in what Mr. Walton
SAYS, and be speaks forcibly. He showed
how live an issue was the Force bill and
how real the danger Of It's awakening; crit
ieized other legislation Of the Republican
party, and gave an instructive exposition of
the tariff question 10 some Of is aspects
