Mr.. BLAIR drew his salary
as minister TO China, SO 600 for six
months, without getting any nearer to
China than Chicago. Evening JOURNAL.
We know nothing personally about
Mr.. Blair's case, but we have no doubt
that he was paid under the rule of the
department of state Under this rule a
United States minister receives one
months salary before leaving this
country-about enough to pay his way TO
his post--and he receives no more until
he arrives at the seat of the government
Co which he is accredited. whether his
departure is delayed for six months or
six years. Morning News.
Before denying the statement concern
ing Mr. Blair il would have been well for
the News to inform itself. A denial
which processes ignorance Of the facts
and submits general impression instead,
does not usually emanate from careful
writer's. Mr.. Blair's salary was $40
per annum and if he drew 81 900 he was
pretty well equipped for trip which
costs about Sl75. It was commonly stated
that ON the pretext Of his intense will.
ingness TO 60 to China, he drew the sal
airy until his resignation was formally
accepted Did he use up that Si55 on
his trip TO Chicagog That was as near
to China as he ever got He
drew the salary till his resigna-
ton was formally accepted upon the evil
dence Of his great readiness to 60 to
China via Chicago was manifest.

The Billion Dollar Congress God.
New York sun.
The first resolution in the platform
adopted by the Illinois League of Repub.
lican clubs, which held its convention al
Springfield last week, is so essentially
and Enthusiastically Republican that it
deserves to be printed in full: I'VE the
members of the Republican State league
of Illinois in convention assembled, have
reason 10 thank God for His bounteous
gifts and TO congratulate the country on
an era of magnificent prosperity, a large
part of which is due to the Wise legisla-
ton Of the Republican party and its
faithful and able administration. In
thanking God, these Illinois Republicans
don't forget to assert that large part OF
the magnificent prosperity of the country
comes not from His bounteous gifts. but
from the wise Legislation Of the Republi.

left in doubt as TO the exact distribution
of gratitude. Do the Illinois Republi.

Our Republican friends in Delaware
have been holding their annual state
convention, at which the usual predic-
tions of victory were made. with n
nomination for congress somewhat out
of the usual order of things. The gentle
man selected for this honor carries n
ministerial title before his name and has
the anomalous reputation of being able
to amuse his auditors There is no fun
in any campaign in Delaware that means
business That little state ought
long ago TO have been wrestled from
the grip of Bourbonism. The trouble
is that many of the prominent citizens
down there who profess TO believe in
political progress are n good deal more
intent upon examining their already
plethoric Golfers than they are in redeem
ing the state from misrule They care a
good deal more about securing an extern
sion Of their trade and getting big prices
for their peaches than they do for the
enlightenment of the people. Delaware
will never be anything but what it is
until its waste places are occupied by
intelligent farmers and fruit raisers from
the North. immigration would settle
the political problem quickly enough if
it got a fair chance. There is room
in the two lower counties for twice as
many people as now occupy them. Every
year the denizens of the great Eastern
cities cry out in vain for sufficient sup
ply at reasonable rates, of just the kind
of food that can be raised with great
profit on the sand hills and in the low
lands of Delaware and Maryland. There
