BlaiEe's Objection tn His Own Nomina-
 tiNn in 1884.


 I said (the conversation occurred tho week before the meeting of the national republican convention in 1884, at BIaine's house in Washington, whither Mir. Halstead had gone in answer to summons from MT Blaine): MT. Blaine, think it is too late. I have looked over the field, and your nomination Is almost eertairf-tfle drift is your way. Why precisely do you object, and what exactly do you think should happen?"
 He replied in his rapid way with much feeling, and l believe his very words were. "The objection to my nomination is that I cannot be elected. With the south solid against us we can not succeed without New York, and I cannot carry that state. There are fac tions there and influences before voting and after voting such that the party cannot count upon success with me. I am sure of it-I have thought it all over and my deliberate judgment is as I tell you. I know, too, where l am strong as well as where I am weak and we might, if We should get into tho campaign with my name at the head of the ticket, think we were going to win. We should get to believing it, perhaps, but We should miss it in the end, if not by great deal, just little. With ev- erything depending on New York; he continued, "it would be a mistake to nominate mel have weighed all the chances. Besides"-and here he kindled -''why should we let the country go into the hands of the democrats when we can name a ticket that is certain to be elected-one that could sweep every northern state?"
 "What is tt?" asked.
 The answer came with vivid animal 1 finn. "Milliam T. Sherman and Robert

As the time draws near to distribute the income from the sale of liquor in South Carolina to the counties for the support of the schools, the contention grows warmer as to the method Of ratio of distribution. This is to be determin- ed by the legislature. An effort is being made to find some way by which the counties doing the largest dispensary business should have a proportionate share of the profit. In one county there is no dispensary, and several other counties have only one dispensary each, with little business and consequently small profits. The counties containing the larger number of drinkers believe that they are entitled to the greater part of the profits, as well as needing them in the moral sense. Nothing is said, however, about the possible de- moralizing effects of making a county's share of the drink fund for school pur- poses contingent upon the amount of liquor consumed by it's inhabitants.

Western Kansas is overrun with prai- rie dogs this year. The Abilene Reflec- tor says: Probably the largest prairie dog town in the State is about six miles north of Narka. It is in the pasture of l.. D. Smith, and he thinks so much of them that he will not allow them hunt ed. The pasture contains over a hum dred acres, and is dotted over with the houses of these little animals and their companions, the little owls. It is very interesting amusement for eastern peo- nIe to stand on an elevated point and watch these little dogs running about, playing or sitting erect by the side of their hole, ready to dart down into the earth if there is any sign of danger. Ii takes a good marksman to hit one of the dogs with a rife. They appear 10 drop into their house before the bull let can reach them, and many sports men believe they can hear the report of a gun one hundred yards distant and get into the hole before the bullet reach es them.

The authorities of the city of Mainz have decided in favor of the former date, and have announced celebration in that city for next year to celebrate the 5O0th anniversary of Gutenbergs arrival on the planet he was fated to revolutionize.

Electric railroads are proving a great benefit to the farmers in Maine. The trolley lines run out from the large cities and towns to villages far removed from steam railroad communication, and in several districts arrangements are making to run trolley milk trains, vegetable trains, and the like, to enable the farmers to get their produce quickly to market. It is even proposed to run trolley coal trains, to supply coal to small towns that now use only wood.

A Pointer to rvin.C,sy Republicans.

Here comes the Stark County News
with reminder TO Rock Island and
Moline republicans Of the obligations
they are alleged to owe to Q presi-
dental aspirant other than McKin-
Icy. Listen unto its song:
at seems indeed strange in the Sc
days. when the republican party is
SO strong in its doctrine Of recipro-
city. that the Tenth congressional
district Of Illinois should favor Will
liam Mckinley, OF Ohio. for William
Il. Allison, Of Iowa. and. especially
that the county Of Rock Island should
furnish . delegate to the national re-
publican convention who is an
avowed Mckinley man. Can they
have looked up the records? The
arsenal and its appurtenances at
Rock Island is, We should think, a
matter Of great Importance to Rock
Island and its sister city, Moline.
Senator Allison has been at all times
a warm supporter Of all measures
for the improvement OF the river al
that point, and his work has
amounted to q great deal. Mr.. Nc
kinley is not particularly interested
in such western improvements
never has been. We believe that
with Senator Allison's record SO
largely in favor Of this and other
western Improvements, it should
count greatly for him instead OF for
his opponent. In fact we believe
that rs one good turn deserves
another. the Tenth congressional dis
trict should now stand solidly fol
the man who has always been it,

but the republican manipulation
OF the twin cities are not worrying
their heads about local interests.
They are figuring to be in the

THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI PILOT.

A newly launched steamboat was bound
To reach Mississippi-it was her first trip

glide,
And one scarce saw the pilot at all
In the pilot house; where, from a visitors

None with more skill its steamers could

Where the snags and rocks hide. and the sand

For he suddenly sprang with the cry

And the huge steamboat paused with sigh.
