gigantic Blaine boom was about to
be h untied on tbe ccuntiy, and tbet
33n’ b Haiiscn was iole ciowded out
of the bun ah if such a thing can be*
done. One thing is very certain, Mr.
Blaines letter which contains about
Bine'paits endorsement of tbe Blaine
reciprocity idea to one of tbe McKin¬
ley lai iff act, iB not tbe work of a
tick man, but of a very shrewd w ide
awake politician who is more intent
upon pushing his ow n fortunes than
upon helping McKinley. The fact is
that Mr. Blaine will never forgive
Maj. McKinley for snubbing him by
ignoring ©?ery suggestion he made
when the original McKinley bill was
Being constructed, and while he is to
strict a party man to oppose McKin
ley's election he would not gsieve any
to see him defeated.
The officials of the State depart¬
ment are apparently never so happy
Xus when deceiving tbe public. After
repo tedly denying that our minister
to China, w ho l>y the way happens to
be a Hood democrat—Gen. Deuvy, of
Indiana bad been instructed to joiu
with the other powers in tbe recent
demand made upon China for the
protf eiicn of foreigners resident in
that country, they now acknowledge
that such instructions were sent to
him some time a^o. There may be
t m s when these officials would be
justified in temporarily keeping
knowledge in th< ir possession from
the public, but there is never any
t ; mo when misstatements by officials
are justifiable, and hast of all are
they justifiable in this case, which
may involve the country in war.
Civil Service Commissioner Roose¬
velt is again at his desk, and he is
apparently trying to prevent the
del ksin the government service from
bring bulldozed into giving ujr their
money to political collectors. He
sin a lie intends to have a bill intro -
diii'id in the nest Congress to make
it a cr'me to tend circulars to offiee

Mr. Harrison made an excellent

Kev. James M. Townsend, the In
diana colored clergyman who was in
4889 made Recorder of the General
Land Office, has resigned, for the
purpose of returning to Indiana. It
was first lumored that the colored
preacher-politician was going back
home to fight Harrison’s renomina
tion, but the fact has now leaked out
that he goes at tbe special request of
Mr. Hai risen, to see if he cannot
quell the anti Harrison feeling which
Las of late shewn itself to be rather
strong among tbe colored voters of
that state, as it would seriously in
lerfere with tbe Haarison programme
to have it stated upon the floor of the
republican national convention that
any considerable body of voters in bis
own state wore opposed to bis itnom
ination.

There are few, if any officials in
the Fusion office who believe that
Gen. Raum will ever resume his posi

is thought that his sesignation would
have been announced before this but

successor,

He settled back in his easy
chair, put his feet on a foot rest,
lit a cigar, and for five minutes
let the smoke curl up around Iris
head. He was a picture of com¬
fort.
Then his wife interrupted his
meditations.
“George, you’re getting lazy,”
she said.
He shook his head.
“But when we were engaged,”
she persisted, “you were as ac¬
tive as any man I ever saw.
Why, you were always getting
up excursions, and you were the
life of every party.
He puffed out a little whiff of
somke and nodded liis acquies¬
cence.
“What’s the matter?” she
asked.
He took another puff at his
cigar, and then said:
“Ever see a man try to catch
a train?”
“Why, yes,” she replied in
sin prise.
“Ever see one rush on to the
station platform just as the train
j seemed almost gone?”
u “Certainly, I have.”
„
“Got a pretty lively move on
him, didn’t he?”
“Why, yes; he ran the entire
length of the platform as fast as
he could. But, George—
“Caught the train, did he?”
asked George.
“Yes; he just barely caught
it. He ”
