The New York Sun with its usual
vagaries calls Blaine the real President
and Garfield the nominal one. It says:
"Hayes now and then had a sensible
idea, but it was always neutralized by
the foolishness f his acts." And by
way of comparison adds of Garfield:
He appoints a master, to mount his
back, and with whip and spur goad
him on to do his will and satiate his
revenge." In short it's a lowery day
with the Sun, we should judge.

When we see so much about Con-
kling's bad temper and dictation, and
hear so many (Blaine m n) d n Con
kling, it may be as well to at least
read the opinion of an independent
witness in the matter. The X. Y. Sun
correspondent who spares no one has
this to say of the preent situation:
To Conkling perhaps more than to
any one man Garfield owed his elec
tion. In his party Conkling is trusted
by all, and is the idol of many. In the
Senate no man of his party seems to
become his rival as a Senator or states
man. On the Senate floor if he is not
loved he is respected, and his place as
one or me leaumg senators in tiie na
tion is not questioned. Between him
and Garfield there could honorably be
no rivalry. .Garfield is great by vir
tue of being the official head of fifty
millions of people. Conkling is great
by nature and by his acknowledged
leadership. The people conceded to
each his place, and saw no cause for
rivalry. But Garfield was seized with
a fit of Presidential foolishness, and
struck at Conkling to bring hirn down.
He believed Conkling's position as
leader could be broken, and that the
people at large couiu ue maue to es
teem him less. The blow struck was
by an appointment the most offensive
that could be made to the Senator.
Now what must the result?
The dead lock in the senate is at
last in a fair way to be broken. A cau
cus was decided upon last week by a
majority- of the Republicans although
on Tuesday there had been no definite
action. Telegrams from Washington
of May 3 leaves Mie caucus still in
session.

Washington, May 3. All promi
nent republicans attended the caucus
this morning. They desire to deter
mine what are contested and what are
uncontested nominations. Adminis
tration senators maintained the ad
verse report of a committee should
c nstitute con tested nominations
Senator Conkling and friends held
that objection by one senator from the
state in which the nomination belongs
made it contested. This uoitit was
not settled. Senator Conkling was
conspicuously pleasant to-day, which
many regarded as a proof that he was
satisfied with the situation.

It is known that the Senate will go
into executive sessior to-day, that un-
relerred nominations will oe given to
the appropriate committees and that
the Chinese treaties wi.l then be taken

existing circumstances, "sufficient

Senator Conkling stated again n cau

all nominations be proceeded with at
once and it was the wish of the ma

iilE N. . -JSUN'S OPINION OF THE
CABINET.
"1 be Composite Cabinet.
Washington, Apiil 21. The pres
ent Cabinet cannot stand long, because
it has no elements of cohesion, and is
unequal to its responsibility. . The
original programme was broken up,
and but two of that cast, Blaine and
'Lincoln, are members of the Adminis
tration. The other live were picked
up, like, the guests at the
marriage feast in holy writ, from the
highways and byways a Washington,
after the President reached the Capi
tol with "everything settled in his
mind."
Windom, MacVeagh, James, Kirk
wood, and Hunt grew out of the per
plexities of the situation caused iu
part by the refusal of Allison to go in
to the Treasury, after having accepted
it ou the od of March, and by the en
forced declination of the Navy by
Morton at the instance of the New
York delegation.
Jealousies and little rivalries in
Indiana shut that State out of the
Cabinet, tor if they had consented to
take Judge Gresham when he was
offered to the members of Congress on
tne 4th of March, the Treasury or the
Interior would now be in his hands.
They wanted sume smooth nose of
wax, and lost their chance.
These refusals brought in Windom,
James, Hunt, and Kirk wood. Mac
Veagh came in by accident. President
Hinsdale of Hiram College, who wa3
a very willing witness, with a remark
able memory, for Garfield, in regard to
the Credit Mobilier jobbery, states that
the Cabinet was made up before the
President left Mentor, and he recites
the names as given to him there. His
memory has taken a new freak, or
he is gifted with a fertile imagination.
Mr. Hinsdale is entirely too "unani
mous" for Garfield, to be accepted as
authority about matters of which he
ia wholly ignorant.
There are family jars not easy to be
reconciled. Windom became Secretary
of the Treasury, against Blaine's de
cided opposition, which was only
abandoned when Allison's courage
oozed out at the fingers ends, and lie
recalled an acceptance within six or
eight hours after it had been given in
person to the President.
James is charged to Conkling s ac
count, although the Senator did not
recommend him, and was not consult
ed about his appointment, nor would
he have advised it had he been asked.
After Leing lifted into the Post Office
Department, James gushed out in a
serenade speech for Conkling. as if he
was wearing a master's collar and de
lighted in it. Thisgush was, of course,
very acceptable to his employers at the
White House, and at the Department
of state.
The venerable Mr. Kirkwood might
have run a corner of the Interior De
partment in the last century among
his indulgent contemporaries; but he
is out of place in this generation, and
hardly finds time to read his daily let
lers. He made a noble effort to divide
one nunureu and twenty cierksmps
between Ohio, Iowa, and a few other
neglected States. And after the ap
pointments were made out, he discov
ered that they must first be examined
bv statute conditions before being
sworn in.
There is a strong suspicion that Re
former MacVeagh has gone over, body
and breeches, to Brother- in-law Cam
eron and Ringmaster Conkling. in a
secret treaty of offensive and defensive
alliance, the first article of which re
quires the head of William E. Chan
dler to be delivered on a salver at the
Department of Justice.
W llliam Hunt, recently jolly Judge
in the Court of Claims, is not troubled
with any constituency behind him.Jnor
my tuture oerore mm. lie served as
a sort or lert nower to Kellogg in
Louisiana, and commenced building
up the navy by hustling out two lega
cies of Ancient Mariner Thompson, in
the shape of patriotic sons, who were
anxious to serve their country for a
good salary.
Robert Lincoln is a mild third ter
mer, who is trying hard to learn the
rudiments in the art of government,
and has not yet found out exactly
where he stands, as between Blaine
and Conkling, who make up the whole
politics of his Administration. His
lather-in-law, llarlian, who ran the
Interior Department into the ground.
and left behind him there and in the
Senate odors that all disinfectants
have failed to overcome, can teli him
more than it is desirable any young
man should know.
No wonder Blaine gets violent at
tacks pf the gout, and of other bedevil
ing troubles, when he sits down at the
Executive tables with these delightful
aud harmonious companions, whom
the law of courtesy requires him to
call colleagues, Ha must be charmed
with Kirkwocd's antiquarian researc Il
ea, with ;ame-i s reforms ot the civil
service, with Map eagh s eulogies of
Chandler, with Windum's imitation;
ot jonn snerman, witn limits reann!
struction of the navy, and with Bob
Lincoln's military graces.
They all fit in as nicely as if they
f;il been grooved and tongued by an
expert uabjpft joiner. Every mother's
son of them id for himself, first, last,
and all the time, and they go their
own way with a seemingly heartless
indifference to the cares that have eot
Garfield twenty four pounds of Ohio
uel. since the 4th of March, and have
made Blaine wjs'i himself back in the
senate, long poie in nanu. to stir up
Ben Hill. The President is laying in
a stock of Dutch courage for a coming
crisii. It takes time for him to get
his nerves in order, but lie is training
them daily.
How Happiness In Secured
Happiness is the absence of pain or
annoyance, and wherever there is pain
there is disease. A pain in the lower
portion of the body indicates a distor
der of some kind. If there is any odor
or color or deposit in the urine, it means
die;ue, and requires attention at once
We have heard' many of our friends
speak of the remarkable poorer pf
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
and are convinced there is nothing so
certain and valuable for all disorders
of the urinary system, both male and
remain. 47tl3

The Latest About the Floods.
KANSAS CITY.
Kansas City, Mo.. May 2 1 a. m.
The situation is moie encouraging
here, the river having remained sta
tionary or perhaps fallen a little dur
ing the day. No fusilier damage is
reported. The work of relief for the
unfortunates commenced by leading
citizens ha3 been responded to in a
liberal manner, almost everybody con
tributing something. A thousand or
more of the homeless have been mov-'
ed to the fair grounds in the -southern
portion of the city, where they can
be kept comfortable at least for a
time, and until better quarters can be
provided. The damage to property
is immense, though nothing like a
safe estimate can be made, running
into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
At least fifteen hundred houses are
abandoned and the watr is from two
to six feet deep surrounding them.
The grain in elevator A is covered to
the depth of four inches. Fowler
Brothers establishment is still safe,
but the ice houses ou the Kaw are giv

road travel is greatly delayed by- the
flood. Passengers from the Hannibal

ferry. Neither the Council Bluffs,
Wabash, nor Rock Island roads re

Politics at The Capitol.
PAVING HIE WAY FOIl AN EXECUTIVE
SESSION.
Washington, April 'JO. The Re
publican caucus committee are work
ing to perfect a programme, to govern
the executive session that will receive
the unanimous support of Republicans
and prevent taking up any nomina
tion question calculated to cause anv
division on that side. It is likelv the
plan will be to let a committee have
control of all executive business, and
not to take up any except what the
committee recommends. While Conk
ung may object to sucu an arrange
ment it is claimed that the majority of
the caucus will vote for it
shekman's target.
Senator Sherman is opposing the
confirmation of .Sheldon for Governor
of New Mexico. Sheldon apparently
has a majority to support him. Hi
friends insist on confirming him at
once, but if his case shall be broughc
up it is said Conkling 'ill claim that.
this would be bringing up a contested
case, and that he would insist on the
rules for hints !f to bring one of that
kind. Sheldon was an Ohio delegate
to the Chicago convention, and op
posed Sherman's nomination.
The caucus committee feel confi
dent of their ability to arrange every
thing so r3 to work iu smoothness
and perfect harmony among Repub
licans, so that they can resume the
fight for majority rule with an tin
broken front. The committee called
upon and informed the president that
Senator Conkling had given them to
understand that he (Conkling) cared
nothing for the continuance of the
deadlock on his own account, but had
prolonged it as far as the New York
collectorship question was enncerued
merely in deference to the wishes of
New York constituents, who believed
the delay would result in the with
drawal of Judge Robertson's nomina
tion, which they earnestly desired
in the interests of party harmony.
The committee thereupon asked the
president whether it would be embar
assing to him to withdraw the nom
inrtion, and have all the rest of the
nominations promptly confirmed.
President Garfield in reply said, with
emphasis, that no such proposition
could be entertained, and thus the
conference ended.
Testing a Mare's Speed.
Stranger." said a stage-driver,
was how 1 ft mid out her speed: I
driving along a r:dh.ad track just
big load of hotel furni'ure started.
'this
was
:s a.
The
freight car wouldn't hld it all. but they
managed to squeeze everything in ex
cept a long bar mirror, which they tied
to the sile of the car. The mare saw
her reflection in the glass and thought
it was another hoiv-e spurting for the
lead. You couldn't have held her back
with a si earn windlass. She just laid
back her ears and snorted along like a
twenty-incli shell. The passengers all
began to get excited. They rushed out
on the platforms and began to make
pefs. The conductor stood upon a seat
and bogan to sell pools. The engineer
pulled the throttle-valve wide upon nd
tore along at ninety-live miles an hour.
Soon the mare was abreast of the cow
catcher. At San Bruno we had half a
mile the lead. Near the Six-Mile house
the train was so much ahead of time
ihat it fell through an open draw and
everlastingly smashed up sypntyrtwq
killed and 191) wounded. It was pretty
rough on tlie passengers, but tuen we
distanced the train, bet yer life. About
a month after 1 sold the mare to her
present owner for $60,000.
Chicago Hospitality.
Mr. Wendell Phillips, say's the Boston
pourier. in talking the other day upon
IJie trrdh and falsity of history, says
"An aimisinr incident occurred to me
oneo, showiii"- tio uny hi which truth
mav snoil -rood historv. Years asro.
when I spoke at the opera-house in Chi
cago upon slavery, the crowd became
very much exc ited and threw various
unsavory missiles at the stn;e and
speakers. Fortunately nobody was
hurt, or, so far as I remember, hit, but
the drop-curtain was heavilv streaked
and discolored so as to be fairly ruined.
Some time aro, J met a western man
who recalled the circumstance, and ho
told me that the owner of the opera
house had, through all these years, kept
that curtain as a testimony against the
people, refusing to have it changed.
JTow J.here, you see, was a beautiful in
cident, and I thought pf u.cjng it in one
of nvy lectures, but I very foolishly took
the precaution to inquire about the
truth of it, and I found that in reality
the curtain was replaced the very day
after it was spoiled!"'
Mr. Janias freeman Clarke 13 quoted
by the Concord Monitor as telling" a
pleasant little srorv of the time when he
went with William Henry Channing to
visit Mr. Emerson at Concord. Unable
to take a morning train, they went in
the afternoon, and told Mr. Emerson
I hey would spend the night, if such a plan
were agreeable. JJe urged them to do
so, but regretted having only one guest;
chamber; but, as the bed was a good,
wide one, of the old style, perhaps they
would not disturb each other. So they
staid and occupied the old fashioned
bed, and talked till long past midnight
about thg unknqwn and unknowable in
life and spirit, ami then went to sleep,
holding each other's hands like two

desire the latest "facts" from Maine:
"Much has been said recently of

prohibition has greatly increased
crime in Maine, and made it more
prevalent than in any other
state in the Union. Leaders Lave
been pub.ished declaring that arrests
for druukennesss are more frequent
in Maine than in license states; and
recently the Bangor Commercial chal
lenged a comparison of arrests for
drunkenness in Bangor, where it af-

slightly enforced as to make it semi-

Miss illakd, President of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
has spent the last month in the South,
md has everywhere been received
with reat favor and acceptance. She
has lectured to large houses, in Chales
ton, Aiken. Savannah, Atlanta, Japfcr
sonvilic. .Moiui". aad otner cities, and
las organized qui e a number of
Woman's Christian Temperance Un
ions, and has shown how women can
do a mighty work in the cause of tem
perance throughout the South. She
corroborates the report of the corre
sponding secretaiy of this Society, who
has recently made a trip through the
South, of the wonderful awakeninsr
and inw interest manifested all over
the South on this great question.

The Congregationalist says of the
Woman's National Temperance Union
that "Associations of lictugr dealers
have publjely stated that tjjey feared
no foe so much a? those persistent
Christian women who carry Temper
ance sentiment in every part of the
land."
The Iowa Central Railroad has
issued an order prohibiting conductors
engineers, station-agents and other
employees of the company from smok
ing or drinking whisky, ale, beer,
cider, or intoxicating liquors while on
duty under the penally of discharge
or suspension from service.
Are we advancing backward or for
ward? Two thousand years ago, the
men annually sacrificed some bun
dieds of men in the
gladiatorial con-
; to-day we an-
tests in pagan Home
ually sacrifice several thousand in the
licensed saloon of christian America.
Surely the world does move, but which
way?
Eighty per cent, of the colored vot
ers of Kansas supported the prohib
itory amendment.
There is quite a general interest in
Temperance reform in .Little Rock
and other towns of Arkansas.
There is deep interest in the Tem
perance cause in Troy this Winter and
the prospect of a thorough revival.
