JAMES G. BLAINE.

The resignation of Hon. James G.
Blaine as secretary of state, which was
handed to the president Saturday
morning and accepted, was surprise
to the country, aud demonstrates the
fact beyond question that Mr.. Blaine
is candidate before the Minneapolis
convention-which convenes to-mor-
row-for president. If this had been
done at previous date, while it would
have caused regret that any feeling
except that of harNony should have
prevailed between the head of the
state department and the administra-
tion, it would have received no severe
criticism. As it is, after Mr.. Blaine
had positively declined the honor con-
nected with the nomination to the
highest Office in the gift of the Ameri-
can people, it will be considered by
many as not according to the
good taste in such matters usually
exercised by Mr.. Blaine.
No one will deny that Secretary
Blaine is in every way qualified for
the position, and if nominated will
carry the full strength of the party IN
every state of the union. He has
conducted the state department with
rare statesmanlike ability, and is in
complete harmony with the doctrines
of the Republican party. The Maha
affair in New Orleans, Behring sea
dispute and the Chilian imbroglio
have all been managed by him in such
q manner that their settlement have
been honorable to the nation and very
credltable to him, and he stands
higher with the American people than
at any period during his eventful life
time. For this and other reasons his
letter declining the nomination should
never have been written or published,
for it is an honor of which any native
born American citizen should feel
proud. 1t was very important. that
the Republican ticket next November
should receive the support of the en-
tire party, and it is fearful now that
there may be factional controversy
whoever receives the nomination.
Of course, the pressure may have
been SO hard on Mr.. Blaine that he
was forced to yield to the importuni-
ties of friends, and if such is the case
he should be excused. Mr.. Blaine
will make strong candidate, and is
quite sure of being elected if opposed
by the best man in the Democratic
party. He has shown himself a
statesman in the solution of the diff
cult international problems which have
come before the administration in the
last four years, and firm supporter
of the doctrines of protection. As a
president he would be fair in the ad-
ministration of national matters, and
would inaugurate such firm inter
national policy that every American
would be proud of his country wher.
ever he resided.

Prorestants On Home Ru,e.

BELFAST, June GA statement giving
the views of the Protestan's of Ulster on
Irish home rule. aud signed by the chiei
officers of the Presbyterian, Methodist,
Baptist and Congregational churches in
Ireland, and by 6044 ministers, elders,
etc, has been posted to every dissenting
minister IN the United Kingdom. The
statement argues that Irish home rule
would inevitably bring about an attempt
by the Roman Catholics to oppose the
Protestants of Ireland, and that the latter
would Dever submit to such oppression,
and the result would be most calamitous.
The dissenters in Great Britain are there

THE DEMOCRACY IN NEW YORK.

The rural press of New York is 8
mirror in which the hostility between
the Cleveland and Hill factions is most
plainly seen, says Chicago exchange.
The bad blood is not confined by ary
means to the chiefs or their leaders.
It courses quite as strongly in the
veins of the rank and file. Men who
have been friends all their lives, who
have stood shoulder to shoulder in do
ing battle for the Democracy, come to
blows on the streets or at corner gro
ceries, one being Hill man, the other
a Cleveland man. Wherever the
Syracuse convention movement had
life the animosity has asserted itself,
each faction seeming to think it has
been abused. The bitterness has gone
quite beyond the ordinary factional
strife.
1t is easy to imagine that each side
might sincerely feel abused. The
Cleveland people denounce the Albany
convention of Feb. 22d as 'smidwinter"
and "snap." trick to capture the del
egation before their side had chance
to get their forces in line. Such was
largely the case. The Hill people re-
tort. and truly, that the convention
was called in the usual way with the
usual notice for primaries, that there
is not break in the regularity of the
proceedings, and consequently no ex-
cuse was given for bolting The very
fact that each is true, or, rather, that
each side tells half the truth, makes
the animosity all the stronger and
more bitter.
If the leaders on the Cleveland side
had been sagacious politicians they
would haye varied their tactics at
Syracuse SO as to allay, rather than
aggrayate, this hostility. There was
time when the great danger to the |
Cleveland side seemed to be the popu-
larity of Hill, but Of late that danger
has largely disappeared, and in its
place came the danger that the nation,
al convention would "turn down" both
and take up some new man.
In view of this fact. the sensible thing
to haye done at Syracuse would not to
have elected delegates at all, and not
to have organized state central COM
mittee, but merely to have taken
to convince the Chicago con-
vention that Cleveland was the man
If all others to carry New York, and

and. But the millionaires of New

Burying cine Dead.

Oh CRY, Pa, June I'm accordance
with the proclamation issued by Mayor Hunt,
every place of business in Oil City was
closed, and for the first time since the dis
aster attention is being given to comforting
the bereaved living and the burial of the dead.
The mayors request was that all business be
suspended between the hours of 10 A. M. and
8 P. M. to-day, and the time be spent tn re-
covering the dead from the terrible disaster;
that the injured may receive needed attention,
and that the dead may receive burial. 1t was
generally observed. Yesterday everybody
was engaged in searching for the missing, and
to-day the search goes on. All the public
places and many private buildings are draped
in somber emblems. The first interments
took place this morning, and during the day
2z persons will receive burial.

The news from the oil regions in
Pennsylvania is horrible in the ex-
treme. Floods and fire. have reaped
rich harvests, and those who remain
are pennlless and homeless. This dire
distress should awaken the keenest
sympathies of those more fortunately
situated, and relief should be forth
coming. The Pacific coast is
highly favored regarding such
disasters, and should be among the
first to respond to the call for help
from those less fortunate.

Big Bank Failure.

LONDON, June 9.-The effect of the
New Oriental bank suspension Is In nc
way comparable with the crash of Barring
Bros. The suspension has been, to a
large extent, discounted, but it has ex
ercised depressing influence on the
markets and is causing discussion re-
garding the depreciation in value of
silver and the position of other Eastern
houses. Shares of the Indian and Chinese
bank fell one to two points. Ten pound
shares of the New Oriental were eagerly
offered on Tuesday at e. Depositors
will eventually obtain deposits IN tull,
but the prospectes for share Holders are

shows that the "strlker" is more pow

of the forum.

HARRISON AND PROTECTION.

|
rison to succeed himself in Minneapo-
| lis Friday will be received 18th enthu-
siasm all over the country, and his
name will unite the party in Novem-
ber. That his administration has been
pure and patriotic cannot be ques-
toned, and that in dealing with great
international complications he has ex-
hibited great frmness and rare abili-
ties as a statesman no one will deny.
His denomination is simply an en-
dorsement of the policy he has pur-
sued while executive of the nation,
and compliment to him as a leading
Republican. 1t is generally consid-
cred the proper thing to name the ex--
ecutive for the second term, and if
this had not been done at Minneapo-
lis it would have been taken as a re-
buke to Mr.. Harrison. In the man
agement of our relations with foreign
nations, especially In the Malta affair
in New Orleans, the Chilian trouble
and the Behrlng sea controversy, he
has acted wisely and for the best IN
terests of the United States, and no
doubt the successful termination of
these disputes gave the president his
prestige at the convention. 1t is no
doubt a fact that the advice of his
able cabinet, especially of Mr.. Blaine
of the state department, was great
help to the executive, and may have
been the means of directing the course
he pursued. But the choice of com
petent counsellors Is not the least evil
dence of greatness, and is the point in
which many fail. Of course, there.
may have been mistakes in The admin
istration of national affairs during the
past four years; but these have been
so few and of so little Importance that
they will have little weight in the
election next November.
To any one who has watched the
proceedings of the convention, from
the time it was called to order to the
hour when the official ballot was an
nounced, it will be seen that the choice |
was made freely and without any un-
due influence being used. At one
time it appeared that Mr.. Blame
would be the nominee, as whenever
his name was mentioned it was re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm;
bu. when the ballot was taken, the
delegates, having time for reflection,
gave Mr.. Harrison more than the nec-
number of votes.
1t will make little difference who
receives the nomination for vice. presi-
dent, as the executive is the chief
officer of the nation; but whoever he
is the Republican party will unity on
the head of the ticket. Five months
will elapse before the date of the cleo
tion, and during that time the country
will be thoroughly canvassed. The
party should be complete
y organized IN every state, and the
great principles of protection, which
lnderlie the organlzation-and for
which 1t has battled fercely for years
should be spread before the people
md be made plain to every American
,itizen. When the development of
,ur industries is SO much desired is
lot the time to change the American
,olicy to that of British free-trade.
Harrison, protection and victory
hould be the watchword of every
Republican from Maine to California, G
nd from Minnesota to the Gulf of +
1exico.

A Powerful Locomotive.

From the Pioneer Press
The new locomotive which, is draw
ing the Northern Pacific coast train
from st. Paul to Staples every other
day is attracting attention from rail
road men for other qualities than its
immense size. Owing to delays in
connection it was nearly two hours
late in starting the other day. Dur
ing the run of 139 miles to Staples it
made up fifty-tive minutes OF the lost
time. At some portions OF the line it
attained a speed Of siXty-threc miles
an hour. The immense capabilities
which this achievement represents
can be imagined when it is stated
that the train consisted of twelve
heavy coaches. 1t is expected that
another engine of like power and size
will soon be added to the service. Tho
intention of the company is to equiv
the entire system with these engines

The Peoples party leaders in Nor
risOn county seem quite demoraliZed
over the mixed condition the state
leaders are in. E. w. Collins,
one Of the delegates elected from
Morrison county to attend the state
convention, states that unless the
Alliance and Peoples parties come
together he will attend neither con-
vention, but will renew allegience
with his old party, the Democratic.
Others express the same views, and
at the bottom is the division in SEN
timent lis the subtreasury plan.
Just now the Peoples party outlook
is rather discouraging.
Senator Buckman is satisfied with
his experience in the sheep raising
business, and is convinced that it
can be made one Of the most profit
able branches Of farming. He has
nearly 1000 sheep that were brought
through the winter in good shape
and he will have a larger flock the
coming season. He has a very large
pasture and is prepared to give the
animals the best of care, and there
fore obtain very good results. 1t
would pay the other farmers to give
more attention to sheep raising in
this county, as it certainly can be
successful.

NEAT. CHEAP AND RAPiD.
A FAVORITE;

From the Wadena County Pioneer.
Judge Searle, Of St. Cloud, has,
after much solicitation, announced
that he will be a candidate for
congressional honors in this district.
The Pioneer has every confidence in
the discretion and foresight of the
Republican party, and for that
reason it honestly believes that Mr..
Searle will be nominated at the
Duluth convention. It is true that
H. G. Kendall is making a lively
personal canvass for the honor, and
he will show up in the convention
with considerable strength, but the
friends Of Judge Searle are by no
means asleep, and he numbers among
his supporters some of the most
active and prominent Republicans in
the district. A well-posted politician
who has travelled extensively through
out the. district recently, stated to the:
writer the other day that Mr.. Searle's
candidacy was received with marked
favor wherever he had been, and he
was confident that thejudge would be
nominated. Possessed of a clear,
keen and judicial mind, and being a
gentleman whose public and private
life is spotless, Judge Searle is an
ideal candidate, and his nomination
would inspire much confidence and
enthusiasm. In Wadena county he
has many friends and admirers, and
the ten delegates from here will
secure seats upon the
Searle band wagon.
