Box 483 Omaha, Nel BLAINE AND LOGAN, The rapublicans of the United States have chosen as their standard bearers in the 1884 that matchloss leader, James G. Blaine, the man who of all others is most deep- ly enshrined in the hearts of his country- men, and that gallant veteran, Gen. national campaign of John A, Logan, who has achieved re- nown on the forum, on fhe battle field and in the halls of congress. No man in Anmerica inspires more genuine and fer- vid enthusinsm among the republican names than the ‘‘Plumed Knight,” and no candidate could have been named at Chicago who could fan the dull embers of latent patriotic republicanism to more intense white heat than the Great Com- moner from the state of Maine, If bril- liant gonius and aggressivo leadership alone in its standard bearer weroa guaran- tee of triumphant success, the republican party.could foel assured on aglorious vic- tory in November. But while ylelding to 1o man or journal in our sincere admi- ration for the noble and manly qualities of James G. Blaine, whom we have sup- ported as our choice for president in 1876 and 1880, we realize that the re- publican party has reached a crisis in its history, in which the nomination of James G. Blaine beomes an extra hazard- ous experiment. It is not a question whether tho reliable republican states of Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska will roll up from 26,000 to 60,000 for Blaine and Logan, but whether the doubtful states of New York, Indiana and New Jersey can be carried in the face of the known and pronounced opposition to Mr. Blaine and among the independent votors of those states. It was because we have believed Chester A. Arthur, with his clean-handed administration, discroet, conciliatory policy, was by all odds the safest man for the republican partyat this critical juncture that wehave urged Lis claims above'those of all other competi- tors for the prosidency. We fervently hope that the choice of the national con- vention, inspired by zealous enthusiasm rather than cool, deliberative judgment, will lead the party to triumphant vic- tory. 'Ran for Blaine, of Maine, BuraiNe takes the presidential cake. Tue dark horse remains in the dark, Brack Jack did it with his little tele- gram. Tae real estate boom in Omaha shows no sign of weakening. Jaues G, Buanve did very woll fora RAtLwAY hospitals aro a good thing, but the plan ot making the employes pay ly an outrageous imposition. If an em ploye is injured owing to the negligence of tho railway company it is not only the duty of the company to take care of him, but to pay him a reasonable amount of money for his injuries. If an employo becomes sick, through mo fault of the company, he is bound to pay the expenses of his own treatment, and in the majority of cases employes would prefer to do 8o, as woll as to have their own physician, 1t is a poor railway company that cannot afford'to take caro of ita employes who aro injured through its negligence, with- out calling for a genoral assessment. IMMIGEATION to this country this year has fallon off about twenty per cent. Our exports are also twenty per cent be- hind the volumo of 1883, The wages of labor have been reduced. There has been an unexampled decline in the prices of stocks. The prospective demand for our exportablo crops is not encouraging. Under these circumstances, notwith- standing the country is rich and money ia plentiful, it is an excéllent time for economy and retrenchment. There should bo no stoppage of busincss and no hesitation as to investment of permanent value; but wo should go slow and safely until the season of recuperation sets in. Tite national republican convention is making good progress, and will probably concludo its labors Saturday night. Tho convention of 1880 met on Wednosday and effoctod a temporary organization. On Thursday & permanent organization was accomplished. The third day was oceupied with reports of committees and the discussion of contested cases. Satur- day was mainly taken up with dilatory motions and remarke, and it was not un- til the evening of .that day that the pro- ceodings got s far as the nominating apocches. The balloting bogan on Mon- day of the succeeding wook, and was con- cluded on Wodnesday At this time it affords one pleasure to read again the famous speech of Col, Robert G. Ingersoll, in presenting the name of James G, Blaine at Cincinnati in 1876, That grand spocch applies as woll to Mr. Blaine to-day as it did eight years ago. 1t was tho eloquent Ingorsoll who gave to Blaiue tho name ot “‘tho Plumed Knight.” Tt was Ilinois, through Col. Ingersoll, that prosented the namo of Blaino in 1876, and now, in 1884, Tilinois has tho pleasure of at last making “the Plumed Knight” tho nomineco of tho republican party, and the next pres- ident of the United States. TueRre is probably no city in the United Statos that gives to its laboring men so much employment as Omaha. The expendituro of money in the improve- ment of the streets, sewerage, and other public works, increases the value of prop- erty, givesourcityametropolitanand busy busy appearance, andfurnish employment te a large number of men. The people, who are beginning to see the benefit of money rightly expended, will hereafter be quick to vote for all needed public im- provementa. Tur Bee congratulates itself upon hav- ing said nothing concerning James G. Blaino which it would now have to ro- tract. While we were for Arthur, we said nothing to the detriment of any other candidate. This is more than can be said by some republican pa- pers, which in their zea) for their favorite caudidate so far forgot thomselves as to heap undeserved abuse upon rival candi- dates. This of course puts such papers in rather an unpleasant position, for them by monthly assessments is simp- | plosion and the other dynamite plote which have gone before it, innocent people suffer for the sins of the govern- ment under which they live. The thir- teen victima of this latest explosion had no more to do in shaping Gladstone’s Irish policy than as though they had lived at the Cape of Good Hope, Viewed in this light, the men who set off these explosions are nothing more than mur- derors, and will be treated as such, if They in under cover of any political shield. Their crime is & crime against humanity, and not an offense against any form of government, and it does not deserve the sympathy of any right-thinking man or woman. Tho dynamiters are injuring the Irish cause, and the Irish people would take steps to denounce the use of dynamite. So long as the dynamite warfare is pursued they can never expect any redress for their grievancies or amsloration of their condi- tion at the hands of the English rulers- What sympathy may oxist among the English people for suffering Ireland will surely bo destroyed by dynamite, Does any sane man suppose that if the explosions in London had killed fifteen prominent Englishmen, and destroyed a dozen of the finest public buildings, Irish independ- onco would be nearer by an hour than it was before? Does any sane man suppose that if to-morrow Victoria and Gladstone should be slain by Irish bomb or bullet, and Buckingham Palace and Westminis- ter Abbey blown to atoms by Trish mines, England would drop upon her knecs and beg Ireland to depart in peace! Is it not as certainfas anything undetermined can he that if the patrons of dynamite should achiove such diabolical success it would bo the boginning of a tremendous failure? —that England instead of relaxing her grip on Ireland, would tighten it, and that the advocates of mercy and moder- ation in dealing with an unhappy country would be swopt out of sight by a storm of popular wrath and vengeance? The bittorest enemies of Ireland can not wish her a heavier or deadlier blow than would surely fall if the hitherto compara- tively harmless attempts of the invinci- bles should be followed by a wholesale destruction of life and proporty. The worst tyranny Ireland has ever endured from England would be mild and benevo- lont as_compared with the iron yoke which English hands would rivet upon Irigh necks. When such fanatical knaves and fools as O'Donovan Rossa and his associates boast of the blessings which dynamite will bring to Ireland, thoy show stupendous ignorance of English nature and of the darkest lessons in Anglo-Irish history, caught. annot come Lord Randolph Churchill comes into constant prominence as the coming man in the leadership of the Tory party. Thero arc two men in_this young scion of the House of Marlborough. One of them is a rough-spoken and ill-mannered Esau, who seeks opportunity to make himself offensive to better moen than himself. The other is an inchoate states- man, with broad views on many points on which the average Englishman and much more the average Tory, is narrow and obtues. The latter of the two has been coming to the front of late, more than the former. In opposition to the efforts of Lord Salisbury to convert the Tory party into an aristocratic clique, Lord Churchill has insisted on an appeal to the conservatism and rather *‘jingoish” patriotism of the common _ people. In this he follows the ex- ample of Disraeli, who was ready to boast of having been an extreme radical and an exteme conservative, but never the compromise calleda whig. In his attitude towardsIrish questions, Lord JAMES €, BLAINE. Sketch of the Cam.er of the Next Pre- sident of the United States. A Won. derfal Political Career—His Barly Tife of a Great Man Literary Work, [Condensed from a Fiographical Sketch, written b; O, Crawford, in the Chicago Tribune, | James o was born at Indian Hill Farm, Washiugton county, Pennsylvania, the 81at day of January 1850, The boy had every advantage. Ho had special the advantage of a preliminary training school at Lancaster, O., where ho lived with his rel- atives, the family of Thomas Fwing, the then secretary of the “tremsury, He was brought in o contact with politics when a mere lad of wstructors and 11, He was graduated from the Wasgington University of Western Pennsylvania in 1817 before he was quite 18, His collego guardian waw his uncle, John 11, Ewing, n member of griss. Mr, Blaine excelled as a student. I'here appears 1o period in his early lifo where he was not successful. Indeed, in necordance with ordinary rules, Mr, Blaine should have had much harder times to have brought out his powors, Aw a teacher for soveral yeats ho fastened his college acquirements, while his subsequent ten years' ag a political editor de- veloped his powers as a clear and ready writer. Chairman of the republican contral committee in Maine at the age of 25, he has kinco that timo rotained his nscondency ns a political leader, - Coming to congress in 1862 ho soon at- tracted the attention of Lincoln, It was Mr, Blaino's habit at the outset of his career to make very short, crisp apecches, Ho mever oceupied more than o page of the Congres: sional Record. He never spokoe unless he had something to say, This atiracted Lincoln’s attention. 1o was alnost tho first man to divine Blaine's future avd actually prophesy what he would accomplish. At the age of 39 Mr. Blaine was made speaker of the house, and for six years filled that post with an abili- ty that was conceded by all, although his ene- mies regarded him as often arbitrary and high- handed in the administration of his power, BUGCESS IN RETIN \ Mr. Blaine is now in tho prime of a vigor- ous manhood. Heis b4 years off age. His once shattered health is restored. His ey are now as koen and clear as when ho was ‘an inpulsive, mischiovous boy, while his voico is aa ringing, deep, and strong as in his_palmiest days as an orator. Retired from active poli tics now for over two years, he has gained by tho change. Instead of dropping into the ob- seurity where falls the average public man mlfifiuw:l to private lifo, ho has held his own in the public mind as no statesman ever before without the artificial aid sition. Tostead of retiring imme- Churchill has made a break from his party. He resisted the attempts to amend the franchise bill so as to exclude Ireland from its benefits, and otherwise doclared his openness to consider any claims that Ireland had to English con- sideration. On this point Lord Churchill might make a brilliant and successful record, if he had the knowledge and audacity required for that purpose. He is o disbeliever iu free trade, and he would find little difficulty in showing that all the liberal attempts to sottle the Irish question failed becauso they do nothing for the promo- tion of Irish manufacture, Unfortunately, it is one of tho matters which Irishmen seem very unlikely to For many years tho late (on.

The ex- plosions followed shortly upon the intro- duction of Trevelyan's Irish land bill, The inference is legitimate that the bafled Nationalists had again vented their displeasure in dastardly mischief, There can be no excuse offered for the suthors of the dynamite explosion in London, Itisa senseless way to carry causo they happen to be centrally located | on war, even were there justification for some of the best businces lots will remain | extrems measures, as it never reaches unimpreved.

Inthe case of this London ex- tako into the earnest consideration it do- mands. Mr. Parnell, like Gladstono, persists in rogarding the land question a tho great issue. If the tories under Lord Churehill were to strike in on this line, they might affeot an allianco with Orange and Groen for the promotion of Irish in- torests, which would leave both the Home ralors and liberals very far to the rar, Lord Churchill has made an admirable beginning, although he has 8o offended the Irish tories that thoy have cancelled his invitation to addrees thew in Dublin, The public mind is somewhat pacified a8 to General Gordon, 1t isnow under- stood that his present position involves no further peril than during his former residencein the country when suppressing tho slave trade. 1f he has no organized force at his command, neither has he an; organized enemy to oppose, the Mahdi being very much in the same position at EL Ooeid that Gordon is in at Khartoum, The Pall Mall Gazetle continues to threaten the ministry with immediate de- foat if they submit to tho *‘multiple con- trol” of Egypt. The Daily News and other ministerial papers observe that while the treaty of July, 1840, which set- tled the status of Egypt, and the conven- tion'of the (ollowi¥ year remain in force, England is bound by her engagements to all the other siguatories, Auything like annexation or independent action would be a deliberate breach of good faith, and would at onoce reopen the whole eastern uesti If England is desirous that ussia should keep good faith as to the Black Sea and the road to India, she can- not set the example of violating her own pledge. An article atiributed to Mr. Gladstone, and signed (., appears in the Forénight. ly Review, The writer points out that while the English are defending their own interests in Egypt, it is necessary to remember that Frauce has colonial lnter. ests also, more contiguous than those of the English, and that it will be time enough for England to act without con. sideration foy the wishes of other powers when her own Eouun’mum menaced, as at present they are not. He also re- fers to the Monroe doctrine, and pointa out that so much political complication arises because European countries do not confine themselves within their national boundaries. e Not A Case, Not & case of rheumatism, not a case of neuralgla, not a case of lameness, not a case of pain or sprain —not one-—has failed to go when & tacked by Thomas' Kcleciric Oxl. Blaino has, with the energy of genius, diately found a new field to conquer. ' In the hard and untried path of literature he has ac- complished in the brief period of one year ag brilliant a succees as has ever fallen to his lot in uctive politics, = His political history. the first part of which is now completed, will do more to make his name memorable’ than all other acts of hispublic careor. Releg ted to private through no fault of his own, through the calamity of Garfield’s nssassination, Mr. Blaine has khown such courage, such pluck in subduing the despair which would have over- whelmed an ordimary man as to commend him to the fuint-hea ted forever as the very em- bodiment of courage which acknowledges no defeat, Think of wha! has heen Mr, Blaine’s loss, Iu the winter of 1876 he had faken a seatin tho United States senate, where ho could have remained s long as ho lived, He had been elected in the face of wn accumulation of every chargo that had ever been brought to bearagainst him. The New York Times and Sun tilled their wide columns with all the charges that had ever been brought against him, He was stigmatized as the worst and most venial of all public men. Theso papers were sent into Maine by the bale upon the eve of the senatorial eloction. Whsat was the result? The Maine legislature carefully considered every charge; revised every story, and then elected Mr, Blaine unanimously. ~ Stirred up to the depths of indignation at what they con- sidored the malignily oI {lieso. sormorsions slanderers, the member= of the Maine legis- islature gave Mr. Blaine tho seal of their unanimous appro: That should put an end forever to any dis- custion of Mr. Bluine's record. A man is never a prophot in his own country. It is there that his faults are always magnified, and his virtues underestimated, " If tho members of the Maiue legislaturo conld find nothing in all that was said at that time, when the record of the charges was then in the wmind of every one, what poiut is there now in a wearisomo rub-a-dub of dresdful things that can be brought up against Mr, Blaine if he should be nominated? One would think that the mon who are the most agitated about Mr. Blaine and his record wero themselves rec:rding angels sitting aloft. above every temptation of this earth. OPPOSED TO TRICKERY, Mr. Blaine certainly needs no defenso from the hands of anyone. Everything that has been used against him is 5o much burned vowder. T should tot sllude to this record talk if it were not for the fact that a certan class of republicans still persist in the fiction of bolioving thut he is really & bad, untrust- worthy man, Dut in order toariive at a correct estimato of him ono should take his entire life as a Dasis for judgment. No man is parfect, Mr, Llaine has undoubtedly made mistakes, and ho has been sevarely punished. ut thore is no 1oason why the inistakes stould be dwelt upon as the true indications of his character. 2 shown himself to bo as independont in it an any great party leader could havo heon. It should bo remenbored of him that ho voted against the juggling eledtoral com- mission bill, which was demanded by the rigid partisans of that day. Both Blaine and Conkling, two of the highest types of tho re- publicans of that pariod, opposed that i It was through Mr. Biaine's influenco that tho force bill, a measure of his party, was de- feated in tho house. While he has™ been al- ways loyal to the close union of the mations on this” continent with reciprocity treaties betweon them a8 against the old world would have given a now to his party when itwas right, he has never hesitated to assert his in- dependence when it claimed his allegiance in & course which he could not approve. Ing, Mr. Blaine is always at homo. Ho be longs to no club and_ keeps more to himseli than a man of his soofal instinots might bo ex- pocted to do, Ho does not even play the wame of poker, which is so goneral an m plishment with public men. He has nothing of the reputation of a Puri. tan, but In reality his private life is as irre proachable as the most rigid moralist conl ask. Ho'is one of the fow mon in public life whose namo has never; besn conpled in tho most indirect way with any intrigues with women. Out of society ho is & gallant admir er of tho fair sex, but thero is yet to bs breathed against him the first word of scandal in this direction. He is & very temperato man at tho table, He oceasionally drinks a glass of wine, but he never joined the whisky-driuking ranks in ither the house or thesenate, Yet one would not notice Mr, Blaine's temporance, as there 18 o assumption of especial virtie put on with jt. He says nothing about it, nmf when asked to partake socially with his public asso- ciates has always managed to avoid indulgence without giving the iden that he has any special objection to the habit or any desire to criticise tho habitin othors. During the lnst year of his literary work Mr. Blaine has lived with the groatest simplicity, Heo has retired early, 80 as to devote the forenoon of his days to work, He has persisted in following the most igid system regarding his hours, Ile has not been visiblo to callers any day until 2 o'clock 1n the afternoon. From' then on he has voted himself to social talk, riding and driv- ivg, and light reading. HIS FUTURE WORK. The work upon the book has mado a ‘great draft upon Mr. Blaine's physical resources, but with a brief vacation he has gone rapidly work upon the second volume., This ho ill have complotod by the first of next De- cember, notwithstanding his nomination, he having made his mind to that effect, He has found a strange plaasure in writing higbook, He has been ail bis lifo since his college-days a student of American history. There is no man in public or privatelife to-day who is £o thoroughly familiar with tho growth and progress of his own country as Mr. Blai His memory is & marvelous ono, He ret without difficulty anything he reads, and raro ly errs in his historical allusions. 1t is a mat; ter of great pride with him that the first vol- ume of his history has not_yet had any of its facts questioncd. It 13 hisidea that a man who writes history should have no other object than tho lonest ~ recital of facts connected h the period which ho is_soeking to de- bo. Where history fs_written with a cer- ctin view, the history itself is too apt to be_colored to be of valuo® to tho impar- tinl student, Mr, Blaine thinks that thy one fault of the brilliant and great Macaulay’s History of Ingland 18 that it was written with the object of sus- taining the Whig party. Ho has tried in his work to have no object in view boyond giving an impartial rocord of the period covered by Lis history. 1t 15 for the publicto decide how far he has succeeded, Originally he had an idea of writing his nemoirs, This would have has | given an opvortunity for a closer record of personal observation, and would have also givon room for a lighter vein of troatment, With his strong descriptive powers, his excel- lont knowledge of men, and memory for even the gossips of his timo, his memoirs would have possessed extraordinary interest. 16 is possible that Mr. Blaino may yet write such a work, With his rostored health he promisos to be a figure upon tho Anierican stage for thy next twenty yours. Hois too active-minded a man to ever remain idle. Tle has a great fund of personal anecdotes whi h hie employs n the miost apt way upon nearly every oc_asion. 1o tells his stories as ii Lo cnjoyed them Limself, and they very often emphasizo his meaning us no heavios ar- gument could do, Summing up, one finds so much to admire in his varied information, his social culture, his power and individuality as a statesman in the truo sense of the word, that ono is con- stantly tempted in the direc gant culogy. If one wises to bo Mr. Bluinels eneiny he must keep away from hiui, boyoud the reach of his voice, and close his oars to anything but the ancient storiss of Lis former encmies, friends. Crit man should bo left to_thoso who know that they are better than he; by men who have nover made any mistakes; by those who have always dono right, and whoso one regret in lifo i tho sorrowful fact that the majority of men are not like unto them in goodness. HIS FORTUNE, Tho stories of his large receipts from his book have not been at all oxaggerated, Heo receivos 80 cents a volume from his publishers, They now believo they will sell a half a wmil. lion copies of this book, This will give Mr. Blaine $100,000 for Lis year's work, It is not unreasonable to supposo that those who buy tho first volume will :omplete their pur- chase by buying thesecond. This will give first venture into the rich pastures of histori- cal literature. Mr, Blaine's present fortuno isone that has boen asubject of agreat deal of gossip, It has been estimated by some romancers to be as bigh as two million dollars. This is an enormous exaggeration. He Is undoubtedly in easy circumstances, and has_enjoyed for years aliberal income from his Penusylvania properties. Mz, Blaino once said to a itor that he was richer than any of the so- called millionaires of the day, because he had all that he wanted. He is not an avaricious man, He is not niggardly in his expenditures, neither is he lavis e seems to have joined to the liberal aud hospitable free-handedness of the west the conservative carefulness of the cast. His stylo of living nt Washington has al ways been comfortablo, never extravagant His carriages aud horses would nevor attract notice anywhere, whila at the same time they are plenty good enough for any gontle use, NOT A VINDIOTIV 1 MAN, 2 i essentially a yot in auy of the van- has showa any pride . Heiv simple and unaffected. 1o harbors few, if any, reseutments, Tho gene- ral public have supposed him to be a great enemy of Conkling's, This is not tru s would as willingly shako hands wich Couldling to-morrow, if Coukling would meet him halt- In his manners way, as he would with any of his former nsso- Ho has intenso pride, and a most fiery tomper when provoked, but whon his n rage explodes no slumbering resentment is left behind. He does not believe in th i manship of revenge, Upon this subject ho said one day : ** Life is too short to lie in wait for personal retaliation for injuries received, If you can strike out a good, strong blow at the time well and good, ~But the world moves too fast for one to waste his life in weiting for The best thing about Mr, Blaine-and it is one that should not be forgetten - is tho fact that ho is an American, »Ho is_a ropublican in the best sense of the word. e is as much opposed to orthodox forms’ in_politics for form’s sake as Ingorsoll i fu_religlon. ~ Thero is nothing for which ho has so sincers a con- tewpt as for affectation of any kind. IN H'S HOME, His magnetio power is the subjectof many snoers, The encmies of Blaino deride the men who are fond of him by calling them vic- tims of this personal maguetism. Analyze this personal maguotism and you will find it i nothing more than the fact of an unassuming intollectual superlority, » keen, trenchant common sense that commands admiration, Very fow public men at short range fulfil the vopular idea, They are apt to prove disap.
