gy of James G. Blaine as did Blaine

Cincinnati Tunes Star: Chleny as
the author of "Twenty Years in Con-
gress" and as the champion of the
Pan-American policy will Mr.. Blaine
live in history. If everything else in
achievements would still make secure
his place on the roll of famous Ameri-
cans.
Milwaukee Sentinel: Not since the
days when the giants battled most
bravely over the slavery issues had
there been such brilliant qualities in
Congress for popular administration
as when Mr.. Blaine was the leader.
In public esteem he will be held as
one of the foremost statesmen of the
Nation. He had in addition to bril-
liancy of intellect, those intensely
human qualities of affec-
ton, ready friendliness, impulsive
generosity-that belong to men who
are called magnetic.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Other chdrac-
tiers may have cast grander shadows
oyer the nation and impressed the
people with sense of greater obliga-
tion for services rendered. but no 9TH
er excited their imaginations and
stirred their feelings as did James G.
Blaine. He was not so great but what
they felt that he was one of them,
and yet he was great enough to give
them confidence to follow where he
led. He was assuredly born leader
and inspired those who came within
the influence of his magnetic person
ality with confidence and enthusi-
asm that absence did not DESTROY or
weaken.
St. Paul NeaCs: 1t was given to him
to become a prominent actor during a
period of great trial when the princi-
plies of the republican form of govern
ment encountered their most rude
and violent shock, and he stood enroll

and military leaders ina resisting the
onslaught. How well he did his part
the page of contemporaneou history
has already told, and the future has
still a fairer, brighter tablet upon
which to record the achievements OF
statesman.
New York Press: HIS career may
be left with confidence to the judg-
ment of posterity. The best testimo-
ny to his merits that no man was
more dreaded and disliked by those
who dreaded and disliked the United
States. The best evidence of his val
ue to his country and of his faithful
ness to it's interest, is the fact that
those whose every wish and purpose
were hostile to American interests
detested James G.. Blaine. No man
has been more bitterly assalled by the
enemies and rivals of our republic
abroad; no man has evoked deeper
devotion and admiration at home.
The qualities which made him be-
loved of the vast majority of the
American people inevitably made him
obnoxious to the foes of American
progress and prosperity.

THE refusal of the house to accept
the bill for a national quarantine
which passed the senate, shows that
Tammany has very good grip upon
that body. Matters have now arrived
at a point where, if congress adjOurns
without making any provision for
national quarantine, the Democratic
party will be responsible for the fail
ure. Tammany does not want the
senate bill to become law, because
it would throw DR.. Jenkins out of
fat position, and Tammany never ia
vors any move that deprives one of
its members of a fat office, no matter
how much the people may suffer as
result. There is no good reason why
the senate bill should not become a
law. 1t is admitted as providing the
means which are needed to protect
the health of the people, and there
are no politics connected with it
whatever, while the carrying out OF
its provisions will be largely entrust-
ed to the incoming administration.
The Democrats ought to be as willing
to trust Mr.. Cleveland in this respect
as the Republicans are.

Washington, and when death falls upon
a great soldier, statesman, or law
yer, this city, that may have been his
home during part of his life, mourns
his loss and reveres his memory.
There was striking similarity between
Mr. Blaine's passage over the Silent
River, and the crossing OF
that other unconquerable Amerl-
can = General Grant. Both were
intensely, and always, AMERICAN. Both
were great and aggressive. Neither
ever surrendered to any earthly power.
Each was upon the bed of death for
months, from which each knew he
could never rise.

The Republican senatorial caucus has
agreed to vote for the admission Of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Utah to
Statehood. 1t refused to consider the
claims of Arizona. But notwith-
standing this concession there viii
probably be no new States admitted
during this session, chiefly for the reason
that the time is too limited. Only five
weeks more of life belongs to this Con-
gress, and its time will be fully taken
up with the Appropriation Bills and
other measures.

A. W. Dunn, who represents The
Pioneer Press in Washington, has
learned very odd story about the late
Mr.. Lamar, which shows what
worker the Judge was while member
of President Ceveland's cabinet. The
story is, that when Judge Lamar was
Secretary of the interior it was his plan
to go down to the department very early
in the morning and remain there late at
night at his work; in fact, he could
work better when the big building was
practically vacated than at any other
time. The coal contractors for the
Interior Department were COM
PEELED to put the coal in the
building while it was unoccupied.
and they chose the night for the work.
but as Lamar would come down at 2 or
8 o'clock in the morning they were
obliged to suspend work Immediately he
appeared on the scene. Occasionally he
would come back from dinner and work
far into the night, and the men would
stand around on the curb waiting until
he departed so that they could wheel
the coal into the building and not be
interfered with by the secretary, who
would permit no noise while he was
deeply engaged with knotty land cases.
Just what effect upon the official
social life of the capital Mr. BlAine's
death will have, has not been dfinitej,
decided. Some invitations have
already been recalled, but Mr.. Blaine
had decided repugnance to
making any public demonstration OF
sorrow, and ON two or three occasions
| in his career here his house was opened
when it ought to have been closed had
the usual practice been followed. Mrs.
Blaine deplores any public recognition
of her sorrow, and it may be that, in
| Difference to her desire, the routine of
social events will not be further dis
| turbed.
I am informed that the new appro-
priation bill provides $166,00O,000 for
pensions, which amount is 100000, O0O
more than the last appropriation.

Whatever may be the view of the
reader about the ACCESSIBILITY of passing
the Anti Option Bill, there can be no
possible difference of opinion as to the
character of the contest waged by Sena-
tor Washburn, of Minnesota. No meas
ure presented for congressional consid-
Grafton during several years has pro-
voked the opposition brought out by the
Anti-Option Bill Money, influence,
corporate greed, commercial prejudice
and financial traditions were all consol-
idated against him. The Junior Senator
from Minnesota has labored with energy
and patience to attain his end. Even
the enemies of the bill unite in compli-
menting the Senator upon the legisla
tive ability he has manifested in the
contest. Senator Washburn said to the
writer:
"This fight has been made in the in
terest Of the farmers and producers of
America. No class Of men have been
so heartlessly and criminally treated as
the food producers Of the Nation by the
constituencies spectators of the large
commercial centers. Long ago. deter
mined that if the opportunity was
offered to me to do so, would strike one
blow at the gambling fend that was
robbing the honest people of the country
of their hard earned substance. That
blow I embodied in the Anti-Option
Bill. The men who deal in futures, as
class, compose the most dangerously
criminal element Of the commercial
classes today. Behind the system Of
dealing in futures the enabling spirit
has taken it's final refuge. All other
forms of gambling become moral when
compared with this. 1t is not only rob-
bling and running the farmers and
planters of the country, but is doing
infinitely more injury to the gamblers
themselves. Every great, organized
crime is always most ruinous to the
criminals who seek to profit by it. 1t
was so with slavery, with polygamy,
with the Louisiana lottery. It is so
with option dealing.
For two years I have been traduced
and slandered as no other public man

It does not seem possible for the bill
restricting immigration to pass during
this session The country must there
fore depend upon quarantine for pro-
lection against the advent of cholera.
The National Quarantine Bill passed
the House early last week, after most
exciting debate; the opposition coming
chiefly from New York City and New
Orleans. The National Government
will by this law-and it will probably
pass the Senate-have full and complete
power of quarantine, and will have to
take the responsibility in case cholera
finds Judgement in the country.
