The Maine Republican convention af
forded another indication that the famous
Florence letter did not, in the opinion of
his friends, remove Mr. Blaine from the
race for President. His- own State puts
him forward as the anti-Cleveland champi
on, because of the promptness with which
he answered the President’s message with
his famous letter cabled from Paris.
This desire to make Mr. Blaine the can
didate is a compliment to his powers of
leadership at the expenseof his reputation
for sincerity. It is evidence that even his
best friends did not believe him to be in
earnest when he declined, and the fact that
he has deliberately chosen to sail from
Liverpool at a date which will keep him
upon the ocean until the convention lias
adjourned, when it would be almost im
possible to refuse a nomination already
given, indicates that his friends know the
man very well.
The indications are string not only that
Mr. Blaine is willing to be the candidate,
but that he will be. No other leader has
evoked any enthusiasm, or has secured a
great following. .Sherman has done best,
but his support is half-hearted, consisting
mostly of machine-made delegates from
hopelessly Democratic States in the South,
and others from Ohio who will vote for
him as a matter of State pride. A large
proportion of them would bolt to Blaine at
the first opportunity.
Almost every Northern State has its fa

The Pope and the Longne.
There is a good deal of trnth in the say
ing of the Liberal London News, in com
menting on tbe Pope’s late decree, that
Ireland has never got her politics from
Rome. But in the condemnation by his
Holiness of boycotting as contrary to jus
tice and charity, and of the famous “plan
of campaign” as illegal and without war
rant in circumstances, there is something
more than politics. Ireland does get her
religion from Rome, and among the things
that religion teaches are charity, justice
and respect for law. The chief agencies
of the National League in enforcing its
will having been declared by the church
in conflict with its teachings, the good
Catholic can no longer believe that, in
obeying the League in the use of such
agencies, he does not offend against the
right.
The Pope’s decree cannot but be a severe
blow to the league, as the priests who have
heretofore lent it all their influence and
held many of the offices, will be compelled
to withdraw. They will no donbt continue
to sympathize with the movement, but the
loss of their organizing ability and power
of leadership will prove serious.
In thus consenting to aid Balfour against
the league the Pope risks a shock to his
own influence over a people always pecu
liarly faithful to tbe church, and it would
be doing him an injustice to believe that
he has anything but the best interests of
Ireland at heart. He is
a wise and cautious man,
and as the present decree is said to be tbe
result of long continued negotiations, it
wiil probably be found that he lias re
ceived in exchange concessions valuable to
the people whom the decree affects. This
is not incompatible with an entirely sin
cere condemnation of boycotting and the
“plan of campaign.”
This new development adds interest to
Ireland’s struggle for home government.
Whatever opinions Americans may have
on the means which have been heretofore
employed in that struggle, almost without
xception they wish it success, and will
hope that the Popo’s interference will not
delay the coming victory.

When it is not sickness or deatli it is bliz

let loose, and off go church steeples and
down go villages. My friends, there are
no more of these devastations in propor
tion to the world's number of inhabitants
thau there always have been, but the tel-
egraph and the American Press Associa

gather them all up, and put them before
our eyes with all the particulars. Instead
of knowing only that which goes on in one
neighborhood, as in olden time, we have
through wire and type a semi-omnipres
ence, and we arc informed of all the im
portant things that happen within 10,000
miles. As to hurricanes, Satan always
was the prince of the power of the air, and
when he wishes to ride horseback he gets
astride a cyclone and with red spur of
lightning urges on the wild courser until
forests and villages are prostrated. But
when vast regions of this country were un
inhabited a cyclone might caper around
for a week and nobody heard of it. In
the year 1776 a whole convention of bliz
zards met in Dakota and not one breath of
their utterances was reported. In 1812 a
hurricane llew 1,000 miles through the
northwest, and only rutiled the fur of a
buffalo and sank an Indian’s canoe and
wrecked a -bevy of wild pidgeens. But
now this country is getting so thoroughly
peopled that tornadoes have no room to
play without upsetting something. If.

that all nations must belong to one family,
and that they must have the same great
mother—God. By one great bridge J
