His Resignation.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January 27-One
more name has been added to the list of the
nations dead. Once more the thoughts Of
the people are turned toward the man who,
as the "Plumed Knight" was such an OBJ
ject OF devotion. For years he stood in the
very first rank of the great men of the land
and few men have ever welded such po-
tent influence as James G.. Blaine. He
was the one whom his party delighted TO
honor and whose word was law with his
followers. With the exception of the Pres
idential chair, he achieved every form OF
success possible TO statesman in free
country.
He began at the bottom of the ladder of
fame. lie rose to the top, and with his
death there passes away one OF the fore
most figures in the history OF the Republic
Few men have had so many ardent admir-
ers and devoted friends. He made many
bitter enemies as well. This was but q
natural result OF the position he filed in
life But now all animosity is buried, and
friends and political foes alike unite in ex-
pressions Of regret at the passing OF the

a profound feeling Throughout the city,
this feeling was intensified in the State
Department where there is hardly an
official or employe who had not personal
acquaintance with the dead man. Al
though the event was daild expected and
ey ery one was in a measure prepared for
the reception Of the sad news, IL was q
shock TO every one.
It's noticeable fact, as indicating the
character of the man who for two terms held
the highest position in the Cabinet, that OF
Secretary of State, and was one Of the fore
most men of the age, that he never again
passed under the portals OF the state De-
par,ment after the day Of his resignation.
de has never re-eutered the department
which SO long had him as its chief since
that memorable Saturday, June >, when he
penned the brief resignation which prob
ably caused a more profound sensation
than any similar missive in the history OF
this country.
The resignation was written in the little
snte-roOm which opens from the Secre-
tary's Office. 1t was peDned, sealed, and
directed to the President in few moments.
Mr.. Blaine then arose and strobe from the
building

partment and knew Mr.. Blaine when he
was a. his best, recognized with sorrow dur
Ing his last service there remarkable
change in his physical condition. MIR.
Blaine was conscious Of his poor state OF
health. A prominent Republican who
called on him about year ago, in speaking
Of this. said:
II went TO Mr.. Blaine the latter part of
last January and asked him II he was go

He replied: No, sir; l cannot entertain

mansion would not be against the spirit Oh
the constitution.
Gen. Watts, in his argument agreed
with Gen. ST. Clair. The fact that suca
small salaries are paid. he considered
blot on the reputation OF the State, out
they were fixed by the people In organic
law. The State has always had good
governor and Supreme Court which would
stand fair anywhere In the United States.
but the fact is that the people are poor,
and cannot afford TO pay large salaries.
ST. Clair stated that the people are not
clamoring for amendments and moved that
IL be the sense of the joint committee that
neither amendment pending, or any others
looking to an increase in salaries, be sub
mitted TO the people.
Delegate Lively, who introduced the bill,
spoke In its favor. he thought State oui-
cials should receive salaries commensurate
with the lust demands or their positions.
He had no aristocratic IDEAS about these
positions, but he knew that no poor man in
the State could afford TO accept the position
OF Governor. AS long as the salary re
mains as at present only meR OF means Will
be elected 10 the position.
This closed the discussion, the original
motion offered by Mr.. cambridge was lost
sight OF aud MIR. ST. Clair's motion was put
and carried.
While in the mood for rejecting amend
ments to the constitution, the committee
took up the dill proposing an amendment
10 provide for holding all sessions or tue

carry sadness and mourning throughout
all the United States, and will awaken in
terest and sorrow wherever civilized man
lives on the face Of the globe. Mr.. Blaine's
career was so remarkable and his public
services were so great that in all his
tories which may be written of
his times he will stand as the central fig
ure, not only as to his own country, but on
policies and subjects that affected other
great nations.
"He belonged. Mr.. President, not to any
one State, but TO all the country; and
Pennsylvania, which gave him birthplace
and nurtured him, and Maine, where he
made his home and where he became her
first citizen, and which filled his lap with
all the honors she could bestow, mourn him
no more to-day than do the dwellers by
the shores CT the great gulf and In the Gao
ins Of the far Sierras. This is no time
or place for me to speak in detail Of his
distinguished public life he was for six
years distinguished member on the floor
of the House of Repres entatives of the ma
ton and for six years. presided there as its
Speaker. His service In this chamber
covered years. He was twice Secretary of
State and was until of late member of the
present administration.
~ do Dot think there is one Senator here
who would not deem it fitting in view Of
these facts and of the facts that he died
where his last peaceful look from his cham
Der window might embrace this capitol,
where his voice had been so many times

A PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED.
The Senate Recognizes the Achievements
of Mr.. Blaine and AdjOurns.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 27.-The
announcement Of Mr.. Blaine's death was
made by Mr. Hale, who has been for many
years one OF the closest personal and politl-
cal friends of the dead statesman.
His remarks were followed by motion
made by Mr.. Cockrell, Democrat, Of Mis-
souri, that the Senate adjourn out Of re-
spect 10 the memory of the deceased; and
that motion was declared carried.
The adjournment to-day makes the sixth
interruption of business in the Senate
caused by death within the last few
weeks. On Wednesday, the nth of this
month, there was an adjournment on the
announcement Of kennas death, and the
next day on account OF his funeral cere-
monies. On Wednesday, the 18th. and Fri
day, the Goth, the funeral OF ex-President
Hayes caused adjournment. On Tuesday
of the present week the Senate adjourned
out of respect to the memory of Justice La
mar, OF the Supreme Court, and to-day the
same ceremony was observed IN honor OF
Mr.. Blaine.
The Senate met with the gloom which
the intelligence Of Mr. Blaine's death an
hour before noon, naturally cast over the
body and over the Capitol. The sad event
was appropriately noted in the opening
PRAYER OF Chaplain Butler. AS soon as
the reading of yesterdays journal was
complete, Mf. Hale arose and announced
the death. He said:
