public and private policies; but his
heart was broken, and q part OF it
went into the grave with his son. Dur
ing the summer of 1891, when he was
suffering and almost dying at Bar Har-
Dor, the politicians took advantage OF
his lamentable condition, and filed
newspaper columns with reports OF his
dissolution; but not one of them spoke
of or realized the fact that the real
trouble was broken heart. One year
later, after he had laid aside all public
duties and was seeking rest in his
home on the rock bound coast of Maine,
his other son, Emmons Blaine, died
suddenly, and the venerable statesman
made long, lonely journey half across
the continent to bring the lifeless body
Of that son back home for interment-
James G.. Blaine died before his time,
of domestic trouble and grievous be-
reavements Public griefs and disap-
pointments always buoyed him to new
endeavors. His end was pitiable.
While it Is true that the lives of great
men all remind us we can make our
lives sublime, and although the sons of
great men fully realize the truth OF
that saying, it is matter Of fact that
in this republic only one man descended
from president has ever achieved a
, like distinction. He was not son, but
a grandson of president. In the old
world ancestry counts for everything
/ and greatness often Is achieved by
heritage. In the new world, distin
! guished ancestry seems to be detri
| mental to ambition and aspiration.

Gen. Garfield was president only for
a few short months. His little boys es-
capped criticism, and his daughter, Mol
lie, was everywhere praised for her
modesty and graceful decorum. The
Garfield boys went to college, COM
pleted their studies, and are living
quiet lives, bearing with honor and in
sorrow the name OF that man of the
people who rose by merit alone from
the canal tow-path to positions Of
major general in the army, leadership
in the house Of representatives, SEN
atorship and the chief magistracy Of
the republic.
Alan Arthur, son Of President Arthur,
did not spend much time in Washing
ton. His father, President Arthur, was
one Of the most cultured of American
gentlemen. He was great man, well
balanced, extremely polite, and his son
was like unto him.
President Cleveland came to the
white house bachelor. He was mar
ried during his first term, and is now
the father Of three little girls who must
in after years bear the name of one Of
the most wonderful and peculiarly
original men in the history of the
nation; until, may be, they may love
wisely and we'll, and assume the names
Of men who will take pride in husband
ing the daughters of president.
John Tyler, Jr., son of President
Tyler, was private secretary during the
brief administration of his father. He
was relentlessly and numerically
criticised during his stay at the white
house. But he was a splendid man,
gifted with rare talents, and an orator
of great merit. For many years he
held position in the treasury depart
ment, until old age and consequent
feebleness compelled him to relinquish
it. His last days have been spent in
obscurity and poverty in this city
where he was once potential factor in
affairs.
The sons of other presidents have
left no recorded history Of their lives
and the treatment accorded them by
the public during or subsequent to
their official careers. Many men have
achieved distinction and come near the
highest place in public life, but their
sons have not duplicated the lives Of
their sires. James G. Blaine, who was
the idol of several millions of freemen,
was the father of two sons who GER
tainly inherited much of the strength
and intellectual virility of their father.
Walker Blaine, the eldest, was so fa-
miliar with the works and ambitions of
his father that they were practically
inseparable companions. But when age
and infrmity were sapping his strength,
and when he was leaning in confidence
and love upon the son who was COM
forting his final years, James g. Blaine
was bereaved OF that son, and the blow
was so crushing that he never rallied
from 1t. He vainly exerted himself,
tried to bend his energies again upon
