feel easier if James G.. Blaine's hand was
on the rudder."
We would like to ask the much per-
turbed journal to specify what intcrna-
tional complication Mr.. Blaine, or for
that matter, any other Republican Sec
retary of state except Seward ever brought
to successful issue. During the admin
istration of the ''idol of American tail
twisters" there were several inter- ational
complications, among them being the
cases of McSweeney and other illegally
and unjustly imprisoned Americans.

old enough to enjoy the right to

things were left by Mr.. Blaine like unto
the condition OF .Mohammed's coffin"
That pyrotechnical gentleman chiefly
utilized his tenure of office in negotiating
reciprocity treaties that failed to recipro-
cate. and in such chimerical schemes as
the Pan-American congress. In doing the
first the Maine man was simply attempting
to dismount from the rampant protective
steed he bad ridden so long and furious

the traditional American foreign policy
fsthered by Washington, of no entangling
alliances" and attempting to secure
through sentimental and gushing resolu-
t ons the trade of Central and South
America that was lost to us by the in
famous and insane tariff system fastened
on this country by his party. Just as
though pledges of amity and pretty pre-
ambles would be sufficient to induce the
practical, dollar-and-cent tradesmen of
the southern countries to desert the cheap
markets of Europe for the artiiicially dear
markets of the protected" United States.
But of such is Republican statesman
ship(O.
1t is an interesting and indisputable
fact of our state departments history,
that with the exception of Secretary
Stewards time, as heretofore noted,
under Republican regime there was
less actual accomplishment of val
liable results than during any similar
period under any of the other parties.
About the only definite effect of Republi-
can diplomacy was the accumulation of
international complications and per-
plexities as legacies for succeeding admin
istrations. The secretaryshirs of Jeffer
son, Monroe, Clay. Webster, Calhoun and
Marcy had. by their firmness of policy,
dignity of tone and loftiness of spirit, won
honor for American citizenship abroad and
respect for the American ensign wherever
it shed the glory of its stars These men
fittingly wore the mantles of statesman
ship. 1t was under their successors that
American citizenship in foreign lands be-
came synonymous with defenselessness,
and Old GLORY the token of imbecility.

The new high speed engine No, 800 OF
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road
is now doing regular service between
Chicago aud Galeiburg, ILL.,, on a pas
longer run, 1t has not been given an
opportunity to show its great speed, but
the ease with which it makes up an odd
minute or two OF lost time is enough to
convince the officials Of the road that
tho engine is easily the fastest in tue
west.
in appearance it resembles a race
horse as much as piece Of machinery
can. 1t looks long and "Feachy," aud
has less wheels under it than any engine
OF lie weight IN the country. II can
run oighty.lye miles an hour easier
than the average passenger engine eau

works with the same speed OF tho aver

In starting the engine moves OF with

II can reach speed OF thirty or forty
miles an hour without half the yibra'

Eventually the engine will bs put in

Burlington road will then be in posi-

matter OF speed 10 n great advantage.
The officials Of the road deny that there
will he a special test Of speed, but they
admit oil being little anxious tor the
new racer to get laid out an hour or
SO in order to see just how fast it will
make up time with a clear track before
