When the Prohibition Home Protec
tionists elect a President and put a
woman in the Cabinet, Washmgton will
see some red tape and questions of prece
dent in social circles that will throw
the Frelinghuysen-Carlisle question into
the shade. This party ought not to forget
Mrs. Hayes’ prohibition record while she
was in the White House.
Cleveland is said to be worth no more
than so,ooo. That is pretty good evidence
that he was never let in on the ground
floor in any enterprise because ot his
official position. It also shows that he
never asked to be taken into any specula
tion where his official position could be
used to advantage on promising that be
would not be a dead head In the enter
prise.
The meeting of the Georgia Press Asso
ciation, to be held in Atlanta July 23,
promises to be the largest gathering of
the kind ever seen in the State. The
members and their wives will make an
excursion over the East Tennessee, Vir

ing lines to Baltimore. Invitations have
been received inviting the excursionists
to stop at various points of interest,
among them one from Mr. J. C. S. Timber
lake to visit Haywood White Sulphur
Springs, N. C.
There is such a thing as overdoing the
matter. It is said that Cleveland received
no special messages during the sessions
of the convention, and that he busied him
self all the white with routine office work.
The news of his nomination was brought
to him from the Albany Argus office, and
alter exchanging a few pleasant words
with his private secretary, it is reported
he said: -Well, anyhow we’ll finish up
this work.” There are few men who would
hare calmly proceeded with routine work
w First Blood of the Campaign.
The speech of Mr. Hendricks on hit re
turn to Indianapolis, in which he re
ferred to the frauds in the Navy Depart
ment as an evidence of the corrtiptlon ot
the Republican party, and the necessity
for a change in the government, atung
Secretary Chandler into making a reply
through the Associated Press. If Mr.
Chandler proposes to reply every time
the crookedness and frauds of the Navy
Department are referred to be will not
have time to do much else between now
and November. The Cleveland orators
and newspapers will devote a good deal
ot their time to the rotten condition which
the public service has reached under Re
publican administration of the
ment. It is noticeable that Mr. Hendricks
did not refer to the Burnside defalcation
in the Post Office Department. That de
falcation is much larger than was at first
supposed. It has been discovered that at
least SBO,OOO has been stolen. Probably
Mr. Hendricks did not want to reflect on
his fellow townsman. Postmaster General
Gresham. Before the campaign is over,
however, the people will be pretty thor
oughly convinced that it is full time for a
change in the government. The wrong
doing is not confined to the Post Office
and Navy Departments. It is in all the
departments. Mr. Chandler would have
acted more wisely if he had accepted Mr.
Hendricks’ very just criticism in silence.
Blaine ami Prohibition.
There is an impression, growing stron
ger every day, that the prohibitionists
will play an important part in the na
tional campaign. Blaine and his managers
and organs are undoubtedly alarmed at
the disposition shown by the prohibitlon
its to claim him as their candidate. Neal
Dow, one of the prohibition leaders, says
Blaine* is a prohibitionist. To permit
himself to lie regarded as a prohibitionist
might gain Blaine some votes, but
it would lose him a half dozen
where it would bring him one.
If there is any one thing that the
Germans will resist to the last more than
another, it is the shutting up of the beer
saloons. They do not drink to excess, and
they have been accustomed to beer from
childhood. They can be depended on to
boycotte any candidate who favors pro
hibitory legislation. The Germans are
strong in the Western and Northwestern
States. They hold the balance of power
in the States which Blaine must carry,
and it is pretty certain that they will use
their influence against him unless
he shows beyond a doubt that he
is not tinctured with prohibition
doctrines. The whole matter,
however, will require very delicate
handling. An announcement from
Blaine’s managers that he does not favor
prohibition would lose him the vote of the
prohibitionists, and an admission that he
does would turn the Germans away from
him. Thus far the prohibitionists have
taken active and organized part in poli
tics in only a few States, but their power
is growing, and is liable to 6how itself in
quite a number ot States this fall. The
question with respect to Blaine’s posi
tion on the liquor question having been
rised. it will have to be settled some way,
and it is certainly a difficult question to
settle.
Business Failures.
The Morning News has called atten
tion several times to the fact that during
the late financial troubles the failures
were largely confined to the city of New
York. Those who met with business dis
asters were mainly speculators, and some
of them who were reputed to be rich
were found to have very little solid
wealth when the test was applied. They
had a large amount of securities
which bad no real value, and which they
couldn’t sell. .About the only purpose
these securities served was to help their
holders figure as millionaires. There are
fewer reputed millionaires in Wall street
than there was six months ago. It will
be some time before there are so many
mushroom millionaires there again.
While there is still quite a scarcity of
money, and while there is dullness in
about all branches of trade, the future is
by no means unpromising. In their June
review of the business outlook, R. G. Dun
& Cos. give some interesting figures re
specting failures. They say:
“The failures in the United States for
the first half of 1884 are 5,510 in number,
an increase of 873 failures, as compared
with the first six months of 1883, or about
18 per cent. The liabilities, however, for
the first half of 1884 show an enormous
increase, amounting to $124,000,000, as
compared with $06,000,000 in the same
period in 1883, or nearly double. The
enormous growth in the liabilities is,
however, directly traceable to the recent
panic, which has been mainly centered in
New York city, in which locality the
liabilities of the last quarter comprise
more than one*half of those noted in the
entire United States in that period. A
comparison of the failures of the six
months in numerous States indicates, in_
some cases, only a slight increase in
failures and liabilities, showing that the
disasters of the last six months, great as
they have been, have not been nearly so
universal as has generally been sup
posed.” ■
Committees anti the Civil Serviee
* Law.
The Democrats have made the same
mistake in appointing their National Com
mittee that the Republicans did. They
have upon their committee three members
who are officeholders. The members are
Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, Senator Ran
som, of North Carolina, and Representa
tive Barbour, of Virginia. When the Re
publican National and Congressional
Committees were appointed the- whole
question of appointing Federal officehold
ers on State and National Committees
was pretty thoroughly ventilated. The
civil service law provides that any
Senator or Representative or
other official of the government
who shall, directly or indirectly, receive
any political contribution from any other
Senator or Representative, or other
government official, shall be punished by
fine and imprisonment. This law is con
strued to render all the members of a
committee liable to punishment, even
though only one member accepts the
contribution. The Republicans are doing
their best to get the officeholders on thy
different State committees to resign, but
they do not appear to be meeting with
much success. The officeholders seem
determined to hold on to their
places notwithstanding the law. There
is some excuse for them to hold
on in Louisiana, because without the of
fice holders the Republicans would hard
ly be able to form a State Committee in
that State. It is to be regretted that
Representative Barbour caunot be Chair
man of the National Democratic Com
mittee. The splendid and very success
ful campaign which he conducted against
Mabone, in Virginia, last fall is not for
gotten. As an organizer of political
forces and a director of a great political
campaign it is doubtful if be has many
equals.
The Evening Post, of New York, re
minds workingmen of the veto by Gov.
Cleveland of a mechanic’s lien bill, which
was framed in the interest of lawyers and
court officials, and would have repealed
the excellent lien laws already in force in
that State. It says the security of
workingmen’s wages was the last thing
considered by the authors of the bill, and
that it largely increased the fees and
costs ot enforcing the Hens of mechanics.
That eminent laboring man, Mr. Charles
A. Dana, should remember this and fling
away all bitterness and superfluity or
naughtiness in the present campaign.
George Alfred Townsend has written
up a huge batch of stuff about Blaine’s
boyhood. His facts and fiction were ob
tained and invented during a personal
visit to the plumed knight’s birthplace.
He now proposes to go through the same
programme wiih regard to Cleveland's
early days. Cleveland is a strong man,
however, and will survive even this
calamity.

„ An Incident of the Convention.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, when In
formed that Cleveland had been nomi
nated, said that the news was old; that
Cleveland had been nominated at least
two week* before the convention met.
He meant, of course, that a very
large majority of the delegates were
in favor of Cleveland before the
convention assembled; and yet
It is stated by shrewd observers who were
in the convention that it was oniy by the
coolest and ablest sort of management
that Cleveland was saved from defeat
when Hendricks was put in nomination.
Hendricks’ name was greeted with such
extravagant demonstrations, and the ap
plause was so long continued, that Gov.
Waller, of Connecticut, who had seconded
Cleveland's nomination, lost bis
head, as it were, and had
begun an earnest plea to the members of
his delegation to change the vote of Con
necticut from Cleveland to Hendricks.
He wanted his delegation to vote for the
winning candidate, and he felt convinced
that Hendricks was the coming man. Mr.
Barnum, Chairman of the National Com
mittee, and several of Mr. Manning’s
lieutenants rushed over to him and quick
ly convinced him that he was mak
ing a mistake, and that he was walking
into a trap set by Butler and Kelly. Had
he thrown the vote of Connecticut for
Hendricks at that time it is probable that
all New England would have followed his
lead, and that there would have been a
regular stampede to Hendricks. From
this it appears that Cleveland’s nomina
tion was not assured at any time before
it was made, and that the slightest mis
take would have deprived Senator Vest
of the opportunity of saying that Cleve
land was nominated two weeks before the
convention met.
The prohibitionists and express compa
nies out West are engaged in a war
which may lead to the formation of a
strong rival company in the express busi
ness. In Kansas an express agent was
prosecuted for delivering two packages of
spirits contrary to the prohibition law,
and the express companies have retal
iated by resolving to abandon the State
and remove all express facilities. It is
thought that the express companies are
going through the well known process of
“cutting off their noses to spite their
faces.”
West Virginia is excited over the dis
covery of a silver mine in a vein of quartz
in Roane county. There are three strata
four feet wide, the top stratum assaying

and the bottom $56 69 per ton. The
mining fever may break out again in the
Southern States In the near future. Who
can tell what wealth may be hidden in
the mountains of West \ irginia. North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennes

The New York Graphic has had 6ome
good words for Blaine, and now it says:
“On the day following Cleveland’s elec
tion as Governor the Graphic nominated
him for President in case he should suc
ceed in meeting the expectations of the
people. Evidently he has succeeded.”
What will the Graphic have—a foreign
mission or a port collectorship?

The Chief Issue.
/few York Herald (Ind.).
Blaine says “the tariff question will be the
chief issue of the campaign.” Of course the
plumed knight would like to have the contest
waged on this or any other question that
would divert attention from his own personal
record. But the Republican nomination at
Chicago made Blaine the controlling issue of
this canvass, and that is why the other side
lias put up an entirely different sort of man.
Party Allegiance Sits Lightly.
Washington Star (Blaine Rep.).
It would not lie surprising if the campaign
now ouened should see some marked changes
in partv constituencies. Political allegiance
sits lightly on large masses of voters, and the
differences between the parties on funda
mental issues is so slight that electors will in
verv manv cases vote as they choose ana not
as they are bid. It is too early yet for specu
lation's on the result to have much value, in
any ease, and in the pending campaign new.
elements are almost certain to be introduced
which will keep the issue doubtful till the
last moment.
A Tidal Wave Year.
Xew York Evening Post {.lnd. Rep.).
The O’Brien machine leaders are going
about chuckling that “it is all arranged with
Tamm* yto “knife’ Cleveland in the city,”
but we very much doubt if it is. Kelly has no
grievance, and if he were to attempt to
‘ knife’’ Cleveland, either openly or secretly,
he i net likely to lie able to control votes
enough to overbalance the thousands of inde
pendent votes which will be given to the na
tional Democratic ticket. It looks very much
like a “‘tidal wave” year, and if it is. Kelly
and Butler will be of small account, no mat
ter what they do.
Cleveland and Blaine Contrasted.
Xeuj York Sun llnd.).
The one conspicuous defect in Mr, Blaine’s
career has lieen his indifference to official in
tegrity. The one prominent feature of Gov.
Cleveland's administration has been the con
fidence which he has inspired in his rectitude
of purpose anil honesty of action as a public
officer In training, in experience, in knowl
edge of affairs, it cannot truthfully be said
that lie is Mr. Blaine’s equal. He had a vast
deal to learn when he became Governor, and
the field of necessary knowledge which the
White House opens ‘to view is much more
expansive and exacting. But he is strong
where his antagonist is weak. His honesty is
not doubted.

carefully that it should not be injured. With
unerring instinct she chose among tMt verbe

Visitors to the President’s grounds are
frequently curious concerning what appears
as a double sentry-box just under the eastern
portico of the White House and railed off from
anv but those connected with the house and
grounds. A closer inquiry reveals the fact
that it is no less a structure than Miss Nellie
Arthur’s doll-house. Though of perfectly
plain, unpretending exterior, being built of
narrow-grooved hoards, the interior leaves
nothing to be desired in the way of comfort
for the little guests. There are two entrance
doors in front and fouawindows—one at either
end and two at theback—before each of which
are hung white muslin curtains caught back
with colored ribbons.

The centenary of the French revolution is
to be kept In 18i>9 with great festivity—pro
vided that the political wheel of fortune shall
not bring up monarchy within the next five
years—and enthusiastic Republicans have al
ready began to plan an international exhibi
tion for Paris which shall surpass all its pre
decessors. Instead of occupying the Champ
de Mars as in 'B7B, the exhibition will either
be placed in the Bois de Boulogne or the Park
of St. Cloud, as not only istheChampde Mars
too small, but the War Minister object* to
losing the use of the district for several years.
The Trocadero Palace ia also occupied by mu
etc., and so could not be used. The
Bois de Boulogne is the favored site, as being
most accessible and picturesque, for the great
exhibition palace would be erected close to
the fortifications and extend down to the lake,
where annexes would fill the islands. Part of
the fortifications must be levelled, but that is
regarded as a minor detail, while it is signifi
cant of France’s recent colonial extension that
she proposes to devote an immense section to
Eastern countries.

for nearly a quarter of a century in an age

challenged since. The author of “Pencilings

her: “She looks not more than 15. Her fig

gree of perfection. Her face is strangely
interesting, not quite beautiful, but of a half
feeling. half-retiring sweetness, that yon

Hide away the callow essay,
Throw the slippers under your bunk,
The muslin fixings white and dressy,
Fold and lay them in your trunk.
Wash your frizzes free from glue,
Calm your heart so agitated.
Put on your old, number six shoe.
And thank the Lord you’ve graduated.
Fling away the gums you’ve chewed,
Shut the'text books up for keep;
Fail in love with some dark-eyed dude.
And learn to wash, and bake, ami weep.

The death of Paul Morphy releases from
hopeless suffering a mind that broke down
under the unnatural strain which his own

while greater players nay have arisen none

ment which the tr arvelous New Orleans boy
aroused. His extreme youth, his modesty of
it auner, and the novelty as well as the won
derful skill of his play, conspired to make
him the hero of the day. Chess became the
fashion, and the young American prodigy
was one of the best' known figures of society.
But liis mind was unable to bear the exhaust

triumphs gave way, leaving Morphy a melan
choly wreck.
AT BLAINE'S HOME.
Augusta Receives the Nomination with
Ringing of Bells and General Rejoic
ing.
If in the course of human events, says
an Augusta, Me., special of the 11th inst.
to the New York World, any benighted
individual has gathered unto himself the
idea that the Democrats ot Augusta had
gone wild over the nomination of their
distinguished fellow citizen, James G.
Blaine, that individual should have
stepped into this city to-day when Grover
Cleveland's nomination was received.
In twenty minutes a beautiful flag
bearing the inscription “Grover Cleveland
for President” was floated in the air,
bells were ringing, cannon booming and
steam whistles blowing, while, high above
and over all, the hoarse and ponderous
whistle of E. G. Allen’s publishing house
was open to its fullest extent for exactly
thirty minutes. Mr. Allen’s name has
been advertised far and wide as a Demo
crat who was for Blaine, but he is a
Cleveland man all through.
This evening a more extended ratifica
tion of the whole ticket is going on, with
processions, bands, fireworks and speech
es, in addition to the usual bell ringing.
The fallowing dispatch was sent this
afternoon:
Grover Cleveland:
The Democrats of Augusta, the home of
Blaine, tender their sincere congratulations
and their undivided support in the coming
campaign.
The Democratic City Committee.
All along the river from Skowhegan to
Bath the Democrats are making the
echoes ring again with their rejoicings.
The ticket is just what Maine wanted.
With sufficient help Maine can be carried
against the Republicans in September,
but she has so long been a Republican
State that people do not seem, outside her
borders, understand how she can be
among the doubtful States. Vigorous
work from now until September would
prove it, however.
A Young Girl’s Heroism.
,V< York Sun.
“I would like to ask you to take some
ice cream, dear,” he said, looking hesi
tatingly in the windows of a saloon, “but
after that disastrous affair in Brooklyn a
few days ago I am afraid to,” and he made
an attempt to forge ahead.
“What affair was that, George?” she
asked, holding him back with both hands.
“Why, over oae hundred and fifty
people * were poisoned from a single
‘■ft must have been terrible. Still,
George, dear, there is a possibility of our
escaping with our lives, and if we do die”
—here the heroic girl gave him a look of
love unutterable —“we will die together.”
HORS FORD’S ACID PHOSPHATE.

Dr. C. H. S. Davis, Meriden, Conn.,
says: “I have used it as a pleasant and

very much pleased with it,”
BLAINE’S FOREIGN POLICY.
The Jingo Candidate’s Record Re
viewed,
The Springfield Republican, discussing
the claims made for Blaine on account of
his foreign policy, says:
“We will consider them under these
beads: I. Blaine’s policy toward Irish
suspects and American citizens abroad.
11. His policy toward Great Britain in
regard to the Isthmus. 111. His policy
toward other foreign powers.
“First, in regard to Irishmen, the
American volume of foreign relations,
covering the period when Mr. Blaine was
Secretary of State, fails to show a single
instance In which he took a more vigor
ous attitude for the protection of Irish
men claiming American citizenship, ar
rested in Ireland for political offenses,
than our other Secretaries of State have
done. It cannot be claimed, moreover,
that Mr. Blaine did not follow his own
mind in the matter, for the President and
his Secretary were in accord, and for
months or that period the President was
lying hopelessly prostrated under the as
sassin’s shot. . . .
“Mr. Blaine’s intervention was asked
in the case of two suspects—Michael P.
Boynton and Joseph B. Walsh—who were
thrown in Kihnainharo jail. Boynton had
a passport as an American citizen, where
in he made oath to having been born in
the State of New York, whereas in the
statement made to our Consul in jail be
claimed to have been born in Ireland and
to derive his citizenship from the natu
ralization of his father. He finally based
his claim on the fact that he had served
in the navy during the war. On account
of his conflicting statements Minister
Lowell declined to take up his case, con
duct which Mr. Blaine assured him
(March 31,1881), “received the entire com
mendation of the department as right and
proper.’ On May 26 Mr. Blame, ita_ a
longer dispatch regarding this case, said:
“Had his citizenship been established, I
should not hesitate to do all for him which I
could propcrlv do for an American citizen
accused of offending against British law in
British jurisdiction. How far such protec
tion would avail fa relieve an American citi
zen from the operation of a British law is a
point l am not prepared to express an opinion
upon, in view especially of the fact that a
copy of the so-called “coercion act’ under
which the Bovnton proceedings were had has
not vet been sent to me.” ... . ,
“On June 2 Mr. Blaine, haring in nund
the cases of Boynton and Walsh, wrote
to Mr. Lowell: , .
“•If American citizens while within British
jurisdiction offend against British laws, this
government will not seek to shield them from
the legal consequences of their acts, hut it
must insist upon the-application to their cases
of those common principles of criminal juris
prudence which in the United States secure to
everv raau who offends against its laws,
whether he lie an American citizen or foreign
subject, those incidents to a criminal prosecu
tion which afford the best safeguard to per
sonal liberty aud the Wrongest protection
against oppression under the forms of law
which might otherwise be practised through
eX ‘“Mr.'Lowell took up the Walsh case on
the recei pt of this letter, replying two days
later to Mr. Blaine that Walsh (who was
a naturalized citizen of Pennsylvania
and constituent of Sam Randall) ‘is a
liquor dealer at Castlebar, county Mayo,
a poor-law guardian and Town Commis
sioner there, and seems to have acted in
all respects as if he were a British sub
ject until his arrest,’ adding that proba
bly the authorities had no knowledge of
his American citizenship. Walsh was
charged with ‘inciting others to intimi
date certain persons with a view to com
pel them to quit their lawful employ
ments.’ Mr. Blaine never referred to the
subject again, and in October Walsh was
released on account of ill-health. This is
Mr. Blaine’s whole record on this subject,
and the discriminating reader will fail to
discover in it any grounds for Irish zeal
in his behalf.
‘“Toward Germany and Austria, nations
with whom we have naturalization trea
ties limiting the period within which
American citizenship holds good as a pro
tection for natives of those countries
who return there to live, Mr. Blaine
maintains an attitude of entire acqui
escence in the decisions of the American
Ministers at Berlin and Vienna, who have
to adjudicate each case separately. Mr.
Blaine, for instance, writing to Mr.
Kasson March 31,1881, says: ‘lt is only
necessary to approve your proceeding;
that approval is unqualified.’ He settled
the Fortune Bay fisheries ‘outrages’ by
arbitration with Sir Edward Thorn
ton upon a basis already agreed upon
between Evarts and Lord Granville—
£ls,ooo. He had more or less difficulty
with Mexico, but in that case the boot
was on the other leg; Mexican citizens
were the sufferers by the outrages of In
dians and cowboys. In fact, the freedom
with which Mexicans were lynched when
they were caught in Arizona, the Sheriff
of I’iina county justifying the proceeding,
throws an air of tragic humor over Mr.
Blaine’s lofty talk to Great Britain about
‘the principles of jurisprudence cherished
by Americans as a birthright.’
“In short, the student of our history
will search the record of Mr. Blaine as
Secretary of State in vain to find any evi
dences that he took any unusual interest
in the protection of the rights of Ameri
can citizens abroad or in the promotion of
their welfare.”
