All tina we know as C~lcvelandism would

cnce. good or bad, would have been miss

asCendency of the Republican party would
not have been broken up before 1883 At
the earliest, and as Mr.. Blaine possessed
moro of the characteristics that have
since been exhibited by Theodore Roose-
welt than any other public man Of recent
times, il Ia likely that he would have been
reelected in 1855.
He would have given the country Il
vigorous foreign policy. lie was earnest

a favorable majority in Congress. ne
would doubtless have inaugurated a
period of liberal commercial relations,
particularly with the American republic.
as pan-Americanism was his hobby. lie
would have encouraged the construction
of an isthmian canal, as well as that Of
the ran-American railway, which Is bat
Just now beginning to receive practical
support.
In party politics Mr.. Blaine would have
stimulated an intensity of feeling which
might have had injurious effects. II Is
possible that he would have brought about
a split in the Republican party similar TO
that which Cleveland caused IN the demo-
cracy. Probably he would have made an
effort to protect negro suffrage and equal
civil rights in the South.

Deuths,

The statistics of railroad "accidenis'
for March contain nothing to dispell Mr..
Hill's gloomy feeling that when he starts
on a journey he is taking his life in his
hand. In that month, as shown by an I'M
official, but fairly competent record, there
were 80 serious wrecks in which - persons
were killed and at least 2l4 injured. That
is four more wrecks, with 40 more killed.
by a curious chance, IS fewer Injured
tina in February, which, 1t is only fair
to remember, was a shorter month h
March by three days. The worst OF the
March disasters was the smash on the
southern Pacific near Cotton, cal, in
which 2S persons were killed and IS in
jurcd in that month there were II coils
ions, 9 trains ran into open switches, :
suffered from explosions, 3 were dcrailcd
by spreading and broken rails and broken
trucks, and G were thrown from the
tracks by wrcckers, three of these crimes
occurring on the Pennsylvania Railroad

on the Goth day of October, 1884. a

They were much concerned lest Grover
Cleveland, whom they proceeded to
d%enounce in resolutions as a man of

elected President of the United States.
Their accusation and their anxiety look
absurd today. but both were very real
at the time. These %clersymen sincerely

THE [.
\ WIDOWA

With a view of protecting themselves from artful widowers, mankind in general and particular, a corps of Chicago widows have organized them selves into all association and an ap- plication for charter has been made by them to protect their combined property interests. In this manner il is figured out that the members of the association will be in a position to protect themselves individually and collectively and il is said with some degree of certainty that the associa- ton is rapidly growing in member ship as well as popularity.
 The object of the association, ac- cording to an exchange, is to provide a sort of community home for widows, where they can have more freedom than in hotels and boarding houses and more congenial company than they can have in their flats or homes. As many of the widows have children, widows with children will be welcome in the home. Because of the little incumbrances' they now find them selves boycotted by hotels and f1inty landlords. This is one of the crying evils that the association is to remove.
 Only real widows are eligible to membership in the organization. Di- vorcees and grass widows are barred. The candidate for membership, be she young and pretty CT old and plain, must produce evidence that he is dead for keeps. A death certificate may be required by the bylaws.
 The widows have discovered that married men consider widows their prey. The rules governing the home will seek to prevent men from sailing under false coIors No married men will he allowed to make sentimenta' calls on widows But married man 1 friends may call il accompanied by their wives.
 There is q class 0f unmarried men whom the widows put down as tiflers who will not be welcomed in the home Experienced widows can always tell q trifler, but the real young widows are pie for him.
