R'oston, June 5.—“Blaine has tired the
first gun in the presidential campaign ol
1888. And he him hit the bull's eye, toe."
This was the remark mndfi by a Stalwart
republican, wlio went down to Portland t.o
bear Hie “Plumed Knight's” home rule
speech Inst Tuesday night.
In local political circles the speech has
created a genuine sensation. That a
prospective candidate nay. a prospective
president—should assail so boldly the alii
t.ude of Lord Salisbury, recently a responsi
ble minister of tin' crown, was taken by
Irish nationalists as an earnest of that
“vigor ms policy" which was only hinted
at darkly in 1-SSI.
That ,V[r. Blaine promised during that
memorable contest to give the. lion’s tail
some vigorous twishting tliere can be no
doubt. The promises were made to men
who take part in the Irish movement in
America. Their faithful followers were
duly informed of the purpose of the candi
date and they voted almost to a man for
him.
Mr. John Boyle O'lteilly, the editor of
the Pilot, was approached by a committee j
who were autnoraed to make definite i
pledges in return for the support of that
journal. Of this there can he no question.
But Mr. O’Keilly declined to negotiate,
while his brethren in New York and the
west fell into the scheme.
A cabinet office was to bo given to a
representative of the Irish race, and the
public, in case of Blaine’s success, would
perhaps have been asked to approve the
selection of Mr. Alexander Sullivan, of
Chicago, or Mr. .Joiln Boyle O’Keilly, of
Boston.
AN OPEN FIGHT.
Mr. Blaine proposes to act more openly
In his next, fight. He recognizes the fact
that a considerable portion of Hie Irish
vote has been alienated by Mr. Cleveland
In the large centres of population where
tliey have absolute control of t he denio-
otatie machine. Just while the spirit of
dissatisfaction is felt most keenly he makes
his Irsh speech. It, was well timed, and
the effect has been almost instantaneous.
The Blaine leaders in Boston looked happy
yesterday and to-day. Jesse Gove, who
was the solitary supporter of the Maine 1
statesman in the Massachusetts delegation i
in 188-1, grinned from ear to ear. Jesse, al- -
though he is a bitter partisan, stands well
with the local leaders of the democratic '
party. He voted last year in the legisla- I
ture against the metropolitan police bill
and other party schemes, and in municipal
polities he lias been with “the boys.” lie I
Is a thorough politician and believes in
spoils as a proper reward for party service. i
lie is a very “offensive partisan,” and be is
proud of the fact.
l)r. Buretinnl would not be safe if lie vis
ited Hast Boston some dark night and ,
should stumble up against Jesse. This 1111- ,
fortunate divine, Mr. Gove feels sure, de
feated Ills candidate and cheated him out j
of a fat federal office.
“Just think of it,” said lie soon after the
result was declared, “we had the Irish vote
split in halves; we had the Catholic clergy
almost to a man, and Wen getting the I
Protestant preachers into solid phalanx
when this reverend donkey kicked the
scheme to pieces.”
SYMPATHIES OF THE CI.BRCIY.
Several causes combine to make Mr.
Blaine popular with Hie Irish Catholic I
population in the L'nited States. In the
first place he is very friendly with the rep
resentatives of the church in Maine. The I
clergy in Augusta are very much attached j
to him because of his liberality, both in
point of religious belief and in his dona-I
tions to charitable societies. In the next I
place his mother was a Homan Catholic of
Irish origin. It is told of him in Augusta ,
that he preserves with filial fidelity and
reverence the scapulars and other symbolic ]
articles of a religious nature which be- I
longed to her.
In 1881 Mgr. Cupel was on a mission, the I
I'Ctil object of which only a very few peo
ple understood. He was an observing man
and he Saw that there was a strong feeling t
of hostility to Mr. Cleveland among well I
informed Catholics. The late John Kelly
and his lieutenants in Tammany had ue- j
eased t he democratic candidate of harbor- j
ing deeply rooted prejudices against Cathol
icism. Mgr. Cupel was a social favorite in i
the highest Catholic circles in New York j
city, into which lie was introduced by Mrs. i
George Bliss. 1 have it on the authority of |
Mr. Wayne MacVeagh that it was in this
atmosphere that he became convinced of j
the advisability of Mr. Blaine’s election j
purely ua u religious move. The same i
gentleman estimated that two-thirds ofthe
Roman Catholic priests who voted in New
York and Pennsylvania voted the republi
can ticket. ;
In Massachusetts the proportion was not |
quite ns large as this; hut it was large j
enough to attract attention. The damag
ing portions of Mr. Burchard’sspeech were
printed in the form of handbills by tire
state committee and distributed near the
churches on the Sunday morning preced
ing the election, and in two notable in
stances the pastors drove the boys away
from the corners.
It may be said that the hostility to Mr.
Cleveland still exists here in Catholic cir
cles, and if the same candidates should be
before the people in 1888 that were pitted
against each other in t.SS-l, the votes of the
extreme church men would go to Blaine.
Tlie Irish nationalists, and the more
moderate sympathizers even, are dis
gusted with the way in which their
representatives are snubbed by the
present administration. They are
wrathy because a vigorous policy was
not adopted promptly in the fishery con
troversy, and so they still look Blaineward
for the ideal American statesman who
would seize every opportunity that offered
to pick a quarrel with Great Britnin.
THE FISHERY ql'ESTIO.V.
The interview with Mr. Blaine on tile
seizures of American fishing vessels, and I
the Portland speech cover these two points j
exactly, and cover them so well Unit the
Blaine euuso in Massachusetts lias received
quite a peroentible “boost." The coining ,
campaigns in Maine and Massachusetts |
will l>e conducted largely with a view to
consolidate the republican vote in favor of
the author of these two noteworthy pro- \
nouneements.
His candidate in the former state. Mr.
Bodwell, of Hollowed, will have a walk i
over in the convention and at the polls.
Golonel Darius Alden, of Augusta, one of
the patriarchs of the Pine Tree democra
cy, told me the other night that over four
hundred young democrats in the Kennebec
valley towns would vote for him, solely as
a rebuke to the administration for its re- !
fusal to appoint Colonel Morton to the
Augusta postoffiee. "My own son,” he
said, “Is in the movement, pi this state,
Ames, who is a Blaine man also, will he
practically unopposed in the light for tin-
nomination. lie will he elected by 2. r >.(XXl
majority, and tile machinery of the party
will be used to promote Blaine’s ambition
tiie following year, 'fill’s prediction was
made in one ofi the leading clubs ofi the
city.”
THE MUGWUMPS.
"What will the mugwumps do ?” was
asked:
“The mugwumps are tired and sick of
their position out in the cold, and they
wil lie glad to return. They are disorgan-
lzed, demoralized. George A. Williams,
'2o f themnost active and intelligent
workers, is now engaged in distributing
he patronage. He signs firom ten to twen-
y applications a day of candidates for
daces, and he writes Lis weekly letter ol
dviee and protest to the president. The

MILLIONS FOR PENSIONS.

Washington, June7. When onecoiV -
fuoo to face with the fact tii.it the pulisi\i
payments cost every family in tlie country
$6 a year il is not to be wondered Unit the
southern congressmen demand a halt. The
pension business has been running wild
for sevaral years, and its pace is growing
wilder with every passing day. Six dollars
is not a ver.y large sum in itself, but
there are thousands of pour fami
lies in (lie country to whom it
is a small fortune. As the money
is raised by indirect taxation every family
in the country is bound to contribute its
share in one way or another. Bills for pen
sioning different classes ofsoldiers not now
on the rolls are passed with little discus
sion, and during tlie Inst congress the
country came within an ace of the exten
sion of tlie arrears act, which would have
involved an additional expenditure of *250,-
000,000. Supposing the population of the
l'nited States Lo be 60,000,000, this would
have been nu additional tax of $5 upon
every man, woman and child in the coun
try. No country in the world compares
with the United States in her lib
erality to her wounded soldiers. For
vers past tie pensions have averaged be
tween ,*50,000,000 and $66,000,(XX) a year,
and in 1885 the total amount paid out from
the beginning of the government was
more thnn $724,(XX),(XX). At tiie same rate
it must lie more than |8(X),(XX),000 at tlie
present time. This makes the pension ex
penditure of tlie government more than
one-twelfth of all the expenses, not in
cluding interest, since its organization.
There has been paid out in pensions about
one-sixth as much as has been paid for
wars, and tlie outlay seems to be increas
ing eacli year. In 1700 tlio pension tax
was, on a rough estimate, less than 25 cents
a family, and In 188,'i, when a larger amount
was paid for pensions than in any one year
up to 1803, the average was less than $1.50 a
family. The great bulk of the. pension
expenditure has been to tlie soldiers
of the late war. In the first ten years
of our government there wore only four
in which the pension expenses ran over
$100,000 a year, and for the next fifteen
years or until the pensions of the war
of 1812 began to come in—they were less
than this yearly. They never amounted
to more than $6,000,000 a year until
1885, when they jumped to $18,000,000.
Since then they have been so increasing
that tliey now make about one-third ofthe
yearly expenses, and it costs each family
m the United States from $5 to $8 a year to
pay tlie lulls. The civil pension list lias
increased considerably within the last three
years, and the widow's of tlie presidents
now receive $5<XX) a year each. Mrs. Polk
is yet alive, and is living at Nashville.
John Tyler's second wife has $0000 sent
yearly to her home in Richmond, and Mrs.
Garfield has the same amount sent to her
at Cleveland. Zacli Taylor’s daughter gets
$50 a month on account of her father’s ser
vices in the Mexican war; and the widow
of Admiral Farragut receives $2000 a year
by a special act of congress. There are also
about eighty revolutionary widows still on
the pension rolls, and the majority of j
these come from tiie southern states.
There were about 2,000,(XX) soldiers in the
late war. Of these 200,OCX) left no personal 1
relatives, and about 1,000,000 have not asked
for pensions. From 1861 to 188-1 820,000. 1
claims were filed for pensions, and at that I
time -187,000 of these had been allowed.
These pensions ranged from $1 to $72 a |
month, and tiie average pension received ■
by the soldiers at present is about $107 a
year. There are now between 300,000 and
100,OtX) pensioners, and the majority of
these are soldiers themselves, while the
remainder is made up of widows, minor
children and dependent parents.

A few years ago a friend loaned me a
bonk contanlng the reminiscences of Mr.
Wise. In it he says that he was riding out
one evening with President Tyler, who in- I
formed him that he was going to marry J
Mias Gardner. "Why,” said Wise, "she I
is too young for you.” "Not at all,” re
plied the president, “1 am still in my I
prime.” “That reminds me,” continued
Wise, "of an old negro down in Virginia I
who was generally consulted by his old i
master on any ailairs of importance to ’
both. The old master was a widower, and
when lie got the consent of a young lady
to marry him he communicated the fact
to the old negro. 'My Lord,’ said Sain bo.
‘she is too young for you.' ‘Not a bit of it,'
answered the master; ‘I’m still in my
prime.’ 'Yes,' responded Sambo, ‘you arc
in vour prime now, but wait till she gets
in tier prime, then where will your prime
be'?' ”
