HIS IsESIGNATION.
1t Was Caused by Interviews in
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-A gentleman
who was intimately associated with Mr.
Blaine said: "At II O'clock OF the day
Mr. Blaine's resignation was given out
he had no idea of resigning from the
cabinet. He had meeting on that day
with the Canadian commissioners Oh
the Welland canal question. 1t was
said afterward that Mr.. Blaine had re-
signed because he and John w. FOS-
ter got into a controversy in the pres
ence of the Canadians and MIR. Foster
informed them that Mr.. Blaine was
misrepresenting the policy Of the
president. That is absolutely false.
Mr.. Blaine himself, at the meeting of
the commissioners, Informed them that
1t was useless for them to talk about
the matter any further; that they had
simply to surrender their claims and to
treat American vessels just the same as
they treated Canadian vessels or they
need go no further. Mr.. Foster agreed
with Mr.. Blaine, and they walked home
arm in arm. They were then, and have
been ever since, good friends.
"When Mr.. Blaine reached home he
found that some one had marked lot
of interviews which had been tele-
graphpd from Minneapolis and printed
in several papers. They accused MIR.
Blaine OF betraying the president and
Of using his place in the cabinet as
cover for a conspiracy to defeat the
president and secure the nomination.
The interviews wound up by declaring
that if Mr.. Blaine were an honorable
man he would have resigned from the
cabinet Under the heat Of Indignation
over these interviews, Mr.. Blaine wrote
his resignation, and he has since told his
friends that there were never but two
occasions of difference between himself
and the president. and that they had

PROGRESS OF HIS ILLNESS.
Its Symptoms Observable at Least
Year Ago.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Mr. Blaine's
friends at least year ago noticed that
there were times when it seemed diff
cult for him to keep his interest steadily
fixed for long periods at a time. For
this reason there were several times
delays in securing his signature to doc
uments which it was necessary that he
Should sign officially as secretary of
state. Mr.. Blaine would begin the pc
rusal of documents and. becoming
quickly fatigued, would give up the
effort to master their contents, and thus
sometimes several weeks elapsed. Dip
lomats and Others who called on him
noticed this inability to steadily CON
centrate his mind on the subject
at hand. Those who were long in
the service and knew Mr.. Blaine when
he was fully himself. realized the
change very clearly. The business OF

diplomacy has been defined to he

was nothing Of this character i'll Mr..
Blaine's diplomacy. When the iron
was hot he did not let it cool.
Diplomats who had conferences with
him he brought right to the point of the
matter in hand and frequently scored
telling points in his own favor by his
keen, incentive way OF reaching speedy
conclusion, and then practically COM
pelling the diplomats, accustomed to
taking long intervals for consideration,
to state their own position at the cOn-
ference. The change from this course
to one of tentativeness and delay was
very marked. AS has been said, Mr..
Blaine was conscious of his poor state
of health.

and the real curse lay in the method
OF life that they may have chosen.
Temperate, moderate, ehaste and
Industrious life brought the bless
ing of sound body, healthy progeny,
undiminished activities and un-
weakened vigor that in their turn
created a plenteous prosperity,
whereas bodies enervated by pas
sions andl ustfullife, faculties dimm-
ed and rendered impotent were but
the memorable precursors of moral
and material misery.
But the lines run more deeply
than this. Not one man or one
family is thus affected, but to the
blood OF succeeding generations the
corpuscles of ancestral life give
color and vitality. The blessing and
curse lay not only on the fruits of
field and cattle, but also of the
body, and to their children and of.

My friends:
When two weeks ago
there was read the beginning of this
passage regarding the blessings and
the curses, which would befall the
people Of Israel, according as they
would Or would not hearken to the
voice Of God and obey His laws.
we then touched upon a thought
which it will be our effort today
more clearly to bring to light and
to emphasize. That thought is this,
that the blessings and curses ,1 for
the obedience or disobedience to the
laws Of God, come, not SO much as
mere reward and punishment which
may be arbitrarily given or with
held by Heaven, as that they are
the results that must follow iinevi-
tably from the one or the other
method Of life. To hearken to the
voice Of God brings blessings, to
body and soul, to self and family,
to person and property, in city or
field. TO disobey the laws Of God
brings curses as bitter as the bless
ings are bountiful, curses as fearful. !
as devastating and as all-encom-
passing as oriental imagery could
devise and language depict. Yet
the blessings and the curses are not
external to cur acts. they lie in the
acts themselves, for virtue is it's
own reward, and wickedness makes
hard its own pathway.
To a child in school we offer a
prize for excellence in scholarship j
and department The prize itselfis /,
in intrinsic worth. It's ,
real value lies in the habit Of study, ,
Of industry. of obedience which be- {
comes necessary to it's attainment. {
The child himself may rejoice in the i
possession of his book, or medal {
and consider it the reward of of his 6
abors. The teacher and parent i
conceive the reward to be in the +
'tudy itself, in the knowledge gained t
ind the work done, which mayhap a
