THE LAST OF BLAINE.

The New York Morning Advertiser
tells it all in the following tribute to
Americas greatest statesman "When
JAMES G. BLAINE, eX-secretary of state,
entered his car in Washington City on
Tuesday afternoon last and started on his
journey to Maine, we saw the last of this
wonderful man as a potentially in Amer
lean politics.
Should Mr.. HARRISON be re, elected,
there is no place in party or governmental
service for Mr.. BLAINE. Bright, bold,
aggressive, magnetic, sympathetic and
impressionable, we have had no figure like
him in our politics, and we shall not look
upon his like again.
Cheated of the presidency in 1876 by
a falsehOod which forced a convention to
take a recess when victory was in his
grasp defeated in 1884 by the mere acct
dent Of campaigning in New York City
when he should have been at home; fright
ened from a nomination in 1888 by the
spectre of ill-health; crushed and de-
feated in Minneapolis yesterday by the
representatives of a party which owes
him all that it has of late years in bril-
liancy of record and achievement, Mr..
BLAINE will take his place among the de-
serving but un%recognized heroes of his
ungrateful party. He had earned the
presidency, and it belonged to him.
"He went down yesterday under the
hoofs of a trained and disciplined army
of federal officeholders-men who owed
him thanks for the very emolumcnts that
they enjoy. Forgotten, ignored and prac-
tically discarded by his party, MIR. BLAINE
can find, perhaps, in private life the peace
and cOntentment which has beer denied
him in his public career. His has been a
stormy and sad existence. No man has
been more maligned or misrepresented.
But no man has to, day warmer or more
friends.
There was much of the sentimental
and the chivalric in the battle made for
him at Minneapolis during the past five
days. In his defeat there is no humilia-
ton, for he did not seek nor ask for
at the hands of his party. And
the republican party will pass through
a long and varied experience before it
again finds at the head of its columns a
man so faithful, brilliant and puissant as
JAMES G.. BLAINE.
"NOt since BOABDIL turned upon the
mountain side and, signing, took his last
glance at the beautiful city of Granada
and the sparkling fountains of the AL
hambra palace, has the world witnessed
passing alike so pathetic, so touching
and so bitter in its memories

custOmed them to the convenience and
cleanliness of dresses of a reasonable
length, that they should consent to become

Clay Kings Sentence COMMITTED.

MEMPHIs, TKNN.-Governor Buchanan
iu Nashville commuted to imprisonment
for life the sentence of Colonel III. Clay
King, who was TO have been hanged
Friday for the murder of David ii
Poston on March 18th last on q public
street in this city.
Unusual pressure was brought to bear
upon the Governor during the past few
days. Petitions signed by thousands
from Tennessee and Kentucky reached
the Chief Executive. Delegations from
military and civic societies besieged him
and the wife and daughter Of the con
dcmned man, and the wives and daugh
tiers of other prominent citizens made
personal appeals. Senator Harris and
other leading politicians made several
calls upon him, and finally succeeded In
securing the desired Communication.
The prisoner heard the news with but
little interest He had been indulgiDg in
stimulants of late and seemed indiffcr
ent to what was transpiring. The people
of Memphis arc very indignant over the
action of the Governor. A plan was
formed to lynch Col. King, but he was
spirited away to Nashville by the Sheriff

The Cotton Crop.

Those OF the Southern cotton planters
who. half year ago, were anxious to
bring about general reduction Of the
cotton product, in order to raise the price
of the staple in the market. have seen
their object gained in an unpleasant way
through the destructive forces of nature.
The extent of the reduction is shown in
the reports of the Department of Agri-
culture containing the facts gathered in
all the growing States The pro
some parts Of the South, by an excessive
rainfall or weather otherwise unfavorable
in many parts, and by other causes not
under the control of the planters There
were fears last spring that cotton would
be an Improbable crop this year, but
those fears have been dispelled by agen-
cies that have brought grief to many
planters.

1t has not been many years, muses. the
New Orleans Picayune, since the export
grain trade was done chiefly, if not ex.
clusively, through the port of New
York. The Erie Canal created water.
way from Lake Erie to New York, and
so grain shipped in vessels from Western
lake ports was transferred at Buffalo to
canal boats, aud so brought to market to
the advantage of New York. But the
day came when Canada built ship
canal around Niagara Falls, and so YES
sells were able to carry cargoes os grain
direct from the lakes through the st.
Lawrence River to Europe without touch
ing at New York at all. Then there
came another day when grain was hoated
in great bar5es down the Mississippi
River for shipment to Europe, aud this
was done SO much more cheaply than can
be done by any New York route as that
the American metropolis is becoming
sensible of the disadvantages its trade is
suffering and is casting about for rem.
edy that will restore its ancient prestige
But the remedy bids fair to be a most
costly one. 1t is nothing less than the
proposed construction of locks around
Niagara Falls on the American side, aul
ship canal from Lake Ontario to the
Hudson River The matter has been
brought before Congress, and engineers
have made surveys and estimates of the
work required, and they place the cost
at 800, 900, 900, which Congre will be
asked to appropriate. The estimates
call for 4 waterway for ships, Of depth
OF not less than twenty feet. That such
q waterway will be constructed some
day cannot be doubtel l. because it will
become necessary. In case OF war
with Canada all the through water

John Burns, the eminent English labor
authority, says that no mans services are
worth more than $4,000 year. The St.
James Gazette notes that an exception
will have to be made in the case of opera
tenors, as Jean de Reszke earns that
much IN a week. Recently he contribu-
ted one nights salary to the Erving
Thomas memorial fund in the shape of a

1925, 900 year, more than the most
fashionable physician or the most success

enormous rates, yet none of them have

next generation. 1t is easy come, easy

There are in southwestern Missouri
many openings in the earth, which are
called "blow holes" and "cold caves"

ence of bats.
Pieces Of iron which can DO set up In

the twelfth century.
Shooting stars are small bodies weigh
ing at most a few pounds aud consisting
mainly Of iron aud carbon. They trav-
erse space In swarms and also revolve
around the sun in long elliptical courses
like comets. Their brightness is duo to
heat engendered by the energy of their
motion. Their speed is enormous, be-
ing nearly twice as great as the speed OF
the earth on Its orbit.
The installation of 4000-ton hy-
draulic press in the st. Jacques iron
works at Montlucon, France, serves to
mark the progress Of an innovation in
forging works. The substitution of hy-
draulic presses for powerful steam ham-
mers for the forging Of large masses of
steel has for some time been steadily on
the increase. 1t is found that the work
Of the press is more regular, homogene.
Gus and rapid, and that the press costs
much less to install than the steam ham
mer.
