A Hollow Lio. From 18‘4 to 1871, ns well as for some years before and after, the Re publicans enjoyed full control of both branches of Congress, B'ehuylcr Col fax, of Credit Mobilier notoriety, was Speaker of the House from December 7, 1868, to March 3, 186!*, and was suc ceeded by James G. Blaine, who held the office until March 3, 1875. From 1861 to 1876' these successive" Republican Congresses voted away 296,000,000 acres of the choicest public lands as subsidies to railroad corpora tions. Does the reader realize the magnitude of t s ne figures? New York is an extensive State, its area being 80,- 800,000 acres. Nearly ten such States could be established from the public territory bestowed—most of it corrupt ly on favored rings of speculators by the representatives of the grand old parly of Colfax and Blaine. It was on account of his ruling which saved one of those grants at a critical moment that Blaine wrote his memora ble letter to Fisher, reciting his services and claiming his compensation therefor. Ostensibly the public domain was thus squandered in order to hasten the development of the West and to open up markets for the hardy agricultural pioneer. The first grant ot all was cer tainly voted to assist in the completion of what was then deemed a military necessity for the preservation of the Union; but the subsequent large grants, almost without exception, were palpable steals which were carried through Con gress by wholesale bribery. In many instances the bribe of votes was paid in stock or bonds of the embryo railroad whose capital was to be furnished wholly from the sale of the lands sought for. These lavish subsidies so stimulated railroad construction as to make it the prime factor in precipitating the panic of 1873. The completion of some of the lines was checked; others were never begun at all. Consequently, under the saving clauses inserted in the grants through the efforts of Congressman Holman and a handful of faithful col leagues, many millions of the misap propriated acres have become forfeit to the Government. During the past four years, Representatives Holman, Cox, Payson and others have labored zealously to make the forfeitures ef fective, but the Republicans have had recourse to every subterfuge and even fraud in order to keep the unearned lands in possession of the corporate beneficiaries. We say “fraud” de liberately, for no milder word is ap propriate to the action of Jay Gould’s puppet and Blaine’s henchman Reed, of Maine, who with the aid of Keifer, smothered in the last Congress the com mittee report, recommending the for feiture of Gould’s Texas Pacific 13,400,- 000-acre grab, which it was his duty as Chairmen to present to the House. , By dint of tireless agitation of this subject for live years, and the publicity given to it by honest newspapers, the people have now come to appreciate its importance, and we find the Chicago Republican Convention unblushingly adopting the subjoined resolution: The public lands are a heritage of the peo ple of the United States, and should be re served, as far as possible, for small holdings •by actual settlers. We are opposed to the ac quisition of large tractß of these lands by cor porations oi individuals, especially where isuch holdings are in the hands of non-resident aliens, and we will endeavor to obtain such legislation as will tend to correct this evil. We demand of vongross the speedy forfeiture of all land grants which have lapsed by reason of non compliance will) Acts of incorpora tion, in all cases where there has been no at tempt in (rood faith to perform the conditions of such grants. Of whttt value is such a promise ema nating from such a source? It is the pledge of the fox to restore lint chickens it has eaten. The last Republican Con gress voted down every forfeiture re sol tion submitted to it. We see the Republicans in the present House ab senting themselves and preventing a quorum when a forfeiture bill is called up. We see the Republican Senate smothering the more important for feiture bills which the Democrats in the House have contrived to pass We see the Interior Department, with the sanction of the President, issuing bush els of patents for railroad lands never lawfully earned. Does anybody im agine for a moment that Blaine would introduce a different policy? The Gouhi-Huntington (Texas Pa cific) land grant alone, for which not a sol tary mile of rail ha-t ever been laid, is valued at $40,000,000. It is not then surprisipg that the corridors of the Cap itol are over-run with lobbyists zealous ly striving to defeat the forfeitures. De nouncing them openly in the House, Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, Chairman of the Public Lands Committee, said: “ 1 have no doubt that, had 1 so desired it, I could | have secured one million dollars for con verting my committee to a non-forfeit ing policy!" Where hundreds of millions are at stake, the land-grant grabbers will not hesitate to provide ample “soap” for the election of Blaine. They know him, and they know that the platform pledge is a holiow lie.— N. Y. Star. A Recalcitrant Republican Newspaper. James G. Blaine has at length cap tured a Presidential nomination from the Republican party. After having been rejected twice, he is now accepted at the demand of the “Eurrah boys” of the West, and by the active com bination of the jobbing elements in the community. Mr. Blaine is a man of attractive and showy qualities which appeal strongly to popular feeling, but there are few men who have spent careers of equal length and eminence in the public service who could not show a better record of worthy achieve ments. What great measure has he originated or championed, and with what great cause has he identified him self? Apart from the war questions, on which he could not well go wrong, where has he stood in the later issues? He invented the word “Stalwart,” and vaunted a stern policy toward the South until the Haves Administration swept it ail away. He is for the main tenance of the high tariff and the ridiculous distribution of the surplus to the States He has always opposed Ciril-Servioe Reform, which was adopted in spite of his act ve hostility and acrid sneers. The most prominent features of Mr. Blaine’s parliamentary and diplomatic career are the succes sion of celebrated scandals compromis ing his character as a legislator with corporation interests: the policy of in tervention between Chili and Peru in behalf of the latter country, and his general disposition to advocate startling and showy schemes, awakened the dis trust of the business classes. The Re publican party, dazzled with the quali ties which please the mob, have placed this man in nomination, thereby giving to the Democratic party the greatest opportunity it has ever had to recover power by nominating some clean, able, safe and progressive statesman like Grover Cleveland or Thomas F. Bayard. New York is the vital State, and the nomination of Cleveland, with his views in favor of revenue reform and Civil- Service reform, his conservative regard for moneyed interests and his efficient administration, would undoubtedly win the support of the Independent vote. If the Democrats, on the other hand, make a doubtful nomination, then it will necessitate a third party nomina tion. But if the Democrats will only rise to the magnitude of their oppor tunity, they will make a strong appeal to the plain people, who prefer an un sullied, honorable and safe leader to a demagogue of the speculative school of pretended statesmanship.—Spring field Republican. Blaine. The Republican National Conven tion has nominated Mr. Blaine for President on the fourth ballot. Re fusing to adopt any less conspicuous and less objectionable person, turning out of doors all the dark horses and the petty schemers, the Convention gave itself and committed the waning for tunes of its party to the only conspicu ous leader now remaining who figured in the history of its earlier, its better, and, alas, also of its later and worser days. A great many Republicans are op posed to Mr. Blaine. Some of them would reject him on account of the stains upon his public career, as exem plified in the transactions of the Mulli gan letters; but there are others, and their objection is of greater pertinency and effect in the present condition of our affairs, who repudiate him on ac count of his crazy notions and Quixotic policy when he was Secretary of State. But those who imagine that, because of such disaffection, the country is now to witness a spiritless canvass, and an easy triumph for the Opposition, are, iu our judgment, very much in error. Mr. Blaine is a fertile land sensational politician, and he will force the fighting from the start. Moreover, a party in power is always hard to beat; and the Republican party can out do in this respect all others that ever existed outside of Mexico. As Mr. Tilden said years ago, the opposition can not elect its President with less than a majority of two-thirds; and this wise observation is as true now as when it was first uttered. It will not be enough to defeat Mr. Blaine at the polls; it will not be enough to have against him- an immense majority of the people; it will not be enough to have a majority of the Electoral Col leges. Fraud and force will be brought into play by the Republican officehold ers in 1884 just as freely as they were in 1876. Mr. Blaine is a man of des perate expedients. His party is a des perate party. So far as the Republicans are con cerned, the issue of the election is fixed, and it remains to be proved whether the Democrats have the wisdom to meet it successfully. The sins of the Repub lican party are so great, the corruption of its rule is so extreme, its history for these many years has been so revolting, that, with prudent councils, a good candidate, and a judicious and patriotic platform, the Democracy may now win a great victory for the country. But we warn theni that it will be no holi day task, that every point will be hotly contested, and that every advantage they may gain will have to be fought for in tremendous earnest.— N. Y. Sun. Damn ‘d with Very Faint Applause. J The nomination of James G. Blaine for President unquestionably gratifies a large majority of the Republican voters. In forcing that nomination, however, while his friends have displayed a fidelity and courage which must extort admiration, we fear that they have acted at the same time with a reckless ness which may not only bring defeat to their party, but political ruin to their beloved leader and fearless champion; for, while representing, without doubt, a very large majority of the Republic ans of the whole country, Mr. Blaine does not represent, has never repre sented, and probably never will repre sent that considerable portion of his party which is governed by principle rather than sentiment, and without whose votes no Republican candidate for President cau be elected. If this election can be carried by dash and en thusiasm and splendid leadership, the event may possibly justify the audacity of Mr. Blaine’s friends at Chicago, but the chances are fearfully against him. His character has been so malignantly blackened and distorted by the news paper organs of the present Adminis tration during the strife for the nomina tion, and it i s apparently so Impossible for the indiscreet and unscrupulous friends of Mr. Arthur to support him that the fight for Mr. Blaine must be a sort of forlorn hope at the best, a fight only to be won by sheer desperation aid ed by wonderful luck.—Bu (July Express. An Indecorous Defeat. With Arthur as the candidate the party would probably go to decorous defeat. But with Blaine either success or failure will bring disgrace. His elec tion, is the improbable event of his be ing able to pull through, would pass from Arthur to himself the unenviable distinction of being the last of the Re publican Presidents. The party could not survive a Blaine Administration, even if it triumphed over a Blaine nom ination. If, however, the Democrats should improve the opportunity offered in Blaine's candidacy by nominating Bayard or Cleveland, a “respectable winding up” would be denied to the Republican organization. It would go down in the smoke ami smell of a fail ure made disgraceful not by the defeat, but by the occasion of the defeat.—Bos ton Herald. —lt is to be hoped that Connecticut morality is not gauged by the sentenco to jail for thirty days, with one dollar fine, of a man who abandoned his wife, eloped with a married woman, and ap propriated the funds of a good Tem plars' lodge, of which be was treasury. —Chicago limes.

The method of cultivating the potato there is peculiar. The ground is dug up and covered with a layer of kelp, and after this fertilizer has been exposed to the air for a week or two it is dug under, and the soil shaped into high, narrow beds and planted in shallow drills. The sun’s heat alone is depended upon, and every opportunity must be given it to penetrate the ground, which in that frigid country not only gives out no warmth of its own but frequently re mains frozen throughout the year at a depth beyond the inlluence of the sun’s rays. This method of farming succeeds only in favorable seasons.— Chicago Times. —“lf there is one thing I hate more than another,” said Mrs. Limberchin, “that thing is gossip.

If the new comers didn’t know all the scandals in town, just as like as not they’d be say ing something that might hurt some body’s feelings; but, knowing every body’s weak points, they ’re always on their guard, don’t you see?”— Boston Transcript. —ln Swansea, Wales, during a recent bank scare an old woman drew $450 from the savings bank and hid it in a sack. Not long after the sack became filled with wheat and was taken to the mill. Then she remembered that the gold was at the bottom of it, and rushed frantically after it, reaching the mill only in time to hear the miller profanely wondering aloud what ailed the wheat that it clogged the stones so. The machinery was stopped and all the gold recovered, though in a much battered state. —A Paris correspondent of the New York Times says that balls given in the dress or conversation of the present day, are entirely out of date in that city, such mild entertainment being tabooed by society.

Hew General Scott’s Life Was S»»rd and Hew His Driver Twice Escaped Death. The traveler of the present day, as he is hurried along by the lightning express, in its buffet ears and palace sleepers, seldom reverts in thought to the time when the stage coach and packet were the only nveaus c£ communication between distant points. It is rare that one of the real old time stage drivers is met with now-s-dsn and when the writer recently ran across Fayette Haskell, of Lockport, N. Y., he felt like a bibliographer over the discovery of some rare volume of “forgotten lore.” Mr. Haskell, although on* of the pioneers in stage driving (he formerly ran from Lewiston to Niagara Falls and Buffalo) ia hale and hearty and bids fair to live for many years. The strange stories of his early adventures would fill a volume. At one time when going down a mountain near Lewiston with no less a personage than General Bcott as • passenger, the brakes gave way and the coach came on the heels of the wheel horses. The only remedy was to whip the leaders to a gal lop. Gaining additional momentum with each revolution of tho wheels the coach swayed and pitched down the mountain side and into the streets of Lewiston. Straight ahead at the foot of tho steep hill flowed the Niagara River, towards which the four horses dashed, apparently to cer tain death. Yet the firm hand never re laxed its hold nor the clear brain its con ception of what must be done in the emer gency, On dashed the horses until the narrow dock was reached on the river bank, when by a masterly exhibition of nerve and daring, the coach was turned in scarce its own length and tho horses brought to a stand still before the pale lookers-on could realize what had occurred. A purse was raised by General Scott and presented to Mr. Haskell with high compliments for his skill and bravery. Notwithstanding all his strength and his robust constitution the strain of con tinuous work and exposure proved too much for Mr. Haskell’s constitution. The constant jolting of tbe coach and the neces sarily cramped position in which he was obliged to sit, contributed to this end, and at times he was obliged to abandon driving altogether. Speaking of this period he said: “ I found it almost impossible to sleep at night; my appetite left mo entirely and I had a tired feeling which I never know be fore and could not account for.” “Did you give up driving entirely?” “ No. 1 tried to keep up but it was only with the greatest effort. This state of things continued for nearly twenty years until last October when I went all to pieces.” “ In what way?” “Oh, I doubled all up; could not walk without a cane and was incapable of any effort or exertion. I had a constant desire to urinate both day and night and although I felt like passing a gallon every ten min utes only a few drops could escape and they thick with sediment. Finally it ceased to flow entirely and I thought death was very near.” “ What did you do then?” “What I should have done long before: listen to my wife. Under her advice I be gan a new treatment.” “ And with what result?” “Wonderful. It unstopped the closed passages and what was still more wonder ful regulated the flow. The sediment van ished: my appetite returned and I am now well and good for twenty more years wholly through the aid of Warner’s Safe Cure that has done wonders for me as well as for so many others.” Mr. Haskell’s experience is repeated ev ery day in the lives of thousands of American men and women. An unknown evil is undermining the existence of an in numerable number who do not realize the danger they are in until health has entire ly departed and death perhaps stares them in the face. To neglect such important “'matters is like drifting in the current of Niagara above tho Falls. She Was Artless and She Was Rind. He was a married man, blessed—or, the opposite, as the reader may deter mine—with an extremely jealous wife. One evening not long since he seized a chance opportunity to do escort to a charming miss of sweet sixteen, whose blue eyes and dark drooping lashes exercised a glamour over every man who happened to come within range of their charm. At last her home was reached, and as they paused at the gate the maiden turned her lovely orbs full upon him and said: •‘I am so grateful for your kindness, sir!” ‘‘Don’t mention it, I beg of you,” he ejaculated, gallantly. Very likely t he unsophisticated maiden misunderstood the motive of his re mark, for she quickly answered, in a reassuring tone: “Oh, I certainly won't, sir, as long as I live, if you don’t wish me to! ” —Low ell Citizen.
