JAMES G. BLAINE.

The death of James G. Blaine removes
from the worlds activities one of the
foremost of Americans, and one Of the
great chiefs Of craftsmanship. His death
becomes not only a national sorrow, but a
grief, the echo of which will be heard in
all civilized lands. For genius, manliness
and the attributes Of statesmansbip com
mand respect and inspire admiration
everywhere among all thinking people.
1t is not the purpose here, and at this
time, to present even a sketch of the life
of the eminent American-that must be
left to other columns. Even there no
record can be made more vivid than that
which is written upon the hearts of the
people concerning the career of the dis
tinguished citizen.
Nor shall we attempt to outline and
HnaIyze the traits Of character that made
James G. Blaine so prominent a figure in
American history. To do so would be
but to repeat the knowledge Of his char
acter which all the people have. To in
dulge in panegyric would be somewhat
satisfying, since the sincere acknowIedg-
ment of the greatness of political genius
is tribute-paying, not to the man alone.
but to the system which produced him.
In the death of Mr.. Blaine it may be
said, indeed, that the American Nation is
proud in grief, for while it mourns the
stiffness Of the once eloquent tongue. and
is woe-stricken that the place he filed is
to know him no more, its sorrow is
assuaged in large measure by exuItant
pride that this man was an American.
the product of American institutions. the
outgrowth of the system of free govern
ment, the result of that broad spirit of
freedom which distinguishes this among
the nations Of the world.
Thus the millions of the American neo-
pie mourn the death Of the statesman to-
day, but, in the midst of their sorrow.
lift up their heads with pride that he was
theirs, and soothe their grief with the
tributes that republics and monarchies.
presidents and princes, peoples and
rulers, the high and the lowly, pay to his
illustrious memory.
James G. Blaine lived the life of the
statesman whose guiding principle is
that the preservation of peace and the
honorable avoidance of war is the high
est Office Of statecraft. He gave to all the
world the living example of the poll
tician who believes he best serves his
country whose energies are directed to
keeping her in friendly relation with her
sister States; who holds the land of his
birth i'll such esteem that he would rather
see it respected and loved than merely
feared, and prefers that it should frater-
nize with its peers than threaten and
command.
Living, James G. Blaine was the mag
netic man, because he was the man of
feeling and sensibility; dead, his mem
ory will remain magnetic because his
career was so intimately written into and
interviewer with the history of the
greatest Of Republics a career the record
Of which will remain indelibly i'm
pressed upon the annals of time, an i'm
perishable honor to the Nation that gave
him to the world.

1t Is seldom that a large, powerful
dog proves genuine protection
against professional burglars. He
may keep an amateur at bay, but

orally made in advance as to the ditfi-
culties to be overcome and a big dog
is not likely to be in tho way If the
animal is kept in the yard the first
step taken Is to poison or drug it, and

of danger by creating an unwarranted
feeling of security A little dog that
barks and runs away when ap-
preached is far better protector.

The following extra-judicial decis-
lon is said to have been delivered
some years ago by judge in South
srn city. A man had been brought
before him on warrant for vagrancy
The evidence was unmistakable, and
the young lawyer defending the man
saw that the case was hopeless.
While badgering his wits TO know
what to say, however, he noticed that
his client was fairly well-dressed, and
called the attention of the court t.
that fact, declaring that no man who
wore agood clothes" could with pro-
priety be considered a vagrant, as.
that word signitied ragged. dirty
vagabond. Observing that the court
made memorandum of good clothes, !"
he wisely sat down without further
remarks.
When the prosecuting attorney had
finished what he had to offer, the
Judge, who was blessed with a fine,
rich brogue, said: THE cart, having
ittintively hazard the ividince and the
remarks av COUNSEL, isl v the opinion
that, inasmuch as the prisoner wears
COOL clothes, he cannot properly be
considered vagrant; but, as he has

scrap iron. The clerks spent two
whole days over the figures and final

the accounts balance. Several days
later the office boy took notion to
amuse himself by adding column Of
figures on sheet of paper which hap
peued to be on the desk before him,
but somehow he could not make thu
footings agree with the amount set
down. His curiosity was quickened

called it four. and but for the sharp
eyes of the boy, the mystery would
have probably remained unexplained.
