MR. BLAINEANDHIS POLICY
The concerted attacks which arc
being made on .lamen ft Hlninu by a
certain eliws of republican puporn , as
sisted by the mnd-slingors of Hie
democratic party , will prejudice no
fair-minded render of thu state papers
referring to the Chili-Peruvian dilli-
cully. The warfare which has thus
early been started against the ux
secretary in really directed neninst the
ox-presidential candidate. An effort
I'D hciiit ; inndo to create the impression
that Mr. Jtlaino is an unsafe man to
entrust with the uHitirs of state , and
that his plans , if pursued , would in
volve the country in serious troubles.
Thr6ugh this impression his personal
cncnncB hope to give a serious , if not
fatal blow , to bin possible candi
dacy for the presidency , and dispose
of his ambition two years in advance
ttf the next national convention.
The later correspondence published
on the qiiuBtiun places Mr. Itlainu'.i
position in 'its true light before the
country. His great object was to
HIUO Peru from extinction which
uould blot out from the map n sister
republic always friendly to our coun
try and which hadgalantly maintain
ed u three yeara war against heavy
odds. Ai the leading nation of the
American continent nothing was
more natural than that the friendly
otllccs of thn United SUitea should
have been proflerod to assist in aot-
tloing the diflicultica between tno
sister republics. And in endeavor
ing on behalf of the United Statoi to
Have Pom from npjliation
or annexation , Mr. Blaine
entered upon a course Ahich waa in
every way creditable to him as the
representative ot our nation and as a
private individual with a heart and
understanding. The pnblinhed cor
respondence proves conclusively thu
falsity of the charge that Mr. lilainu
went so far as to menace Chili with
war if she did not yield to the de
mands made by him on bohilf of the
United States. The instructions given
to Mr. Trescott were to find out if
Ciildoron's arrest was intended an an
iiiRiilt to our government nnd if so
and not tliscliiiiuud to discontinue
diplomatic relations. This did not
imply n deolatation of war and cannot
bo construed an such. Besides , the
wholu toner of the dispatchea proves
conolum'voly that the probability of
war was not in the secretary's mind.
Messrs. Trescott and liluino were
urged to act within the limits of
friendly ofliccs , to offer their services
to help the belligerents to n fair and
just peace , and if not successful to
forbear from further interference.
Mr. Blaine's policy , whether accepted
or rejected , must sooner or later
become the policy of this government.
In assorting the supremacy of the
United States on the American con
tinent , and it's purpose to maintain
that supremacy Mr. Blaine only voices
national aontimont , which if it has
ot yet generally expressed itself , is
,0110 , the leas existent among our
jooplo. America for Americans an

A ! in accordance with views which

> ut peaceful in its tendency.
You cannot vitalize itond political
ssuos any more than you can revive
.ho dead. The attempt to divide ox-
sting political parties on the issue of
'reo trade and protection must prove
v duad failure. Thirty years ago
when thosu issues Mure a bono of con-
tontiion between political parties the
dopnm of free trade \\as a cardinal
point of the democratic crood.
To-day the number of democrats
who advocate fri > o trade is yery limit
ed. Loading democrats north nnd
aouth who , a few years ago , were
lamoring for free trade are to-day
converts to the doctrine of judicious
protection. The experience of the
southern confederacy during the war
hna.amply demonstrated the fallacy ot
absolute free trade.
The southern pooplu have been
taught by aad experience how necessary -
sary it is for any country to fostoi
homo manufactures. Onu of tin
greatest drawbacks mot by the confederacy
foderacy was thu lack of appliancui
for manufacturing article * ' that Wen
absolutely necessary for the conducl
of the war. They were compolloc
to look to Kuropo tor rails
telegraph wire , locomotives , guns
army cloth , leather , boo IB mul tmoos
picks and shovels and many ether ur-
tides. Under changed conditions tin
south is now building up great centers
tors of industry whaiu her raw pro
ducts are converted into useful tub
rics and these great industrial contur
in turn afl'ord the producers of th
raw materials a piofitublo homo mur
kot. In the west the otlort
to build up grout commercial cuntur
by the establishment of factories tint
afford steady employment to workingmen -
men , Imvo also wrought a great change
of sentiment.
It i& manifc.it that a country in
habited by 50,000000 people endowed
with nil the roiourcua for becoming a
great industrial nation should strive
to bo indopuiutont of all foreign coun
tries in producin- fabrics and articles
of commerce. To put American labor
in competition with the pauper labor
of Kuropo and Asia would be ruinous
to American prosperity. It would
force the millions of consumers of firm
product ) ) who now labor in fncloriefl
to abandon their employment and
icok a livelihood on the farm. The
moRt profitable patrons of the fanner
they would become compotitora with
the farmer and compel him to depend
entirely on foreign countries for his
market. Protection when properly
restricted is , therefore , an important
adjunct tn the prosperity of the Amer
ican producer.
While protection so called waa
noocoBtwiy during the infancy of
American manufacturing the great
industries of this country have
reached that Htago of perfection that
will no longer warrant a con
tinuance of extravagant tariff ) ) .
In some cases protection has afforded
opportunities for building up monopo
lies These should bo brokon'up by
a revision of'the tariff and the aboli
tion of protective duties up
on such industries as are now
independent of all artificial props.
The true statesman will direct his cf-
forta at reform toward n thorough re
vision of the tariff , not toward estab
lishing absolute free trade , which
would prove as injurious to the south
ern and western producer aa it would
to the mnnufacturor and his working-
men.

intion of Frederick anil Maggie Claw-
on charged with brutally bcntingnud
nusing thu death of an adopted child ,
line ycnra old ? nnincd flortio IJurg-
nan. The child died suddenly about
wo weeks ago nt tlto homo of thu
/lawsona , about sixteen miloa troin
jincoln , nnd was buried. Tlio cruel
rcatmcnt of Uio child has been
wn in the neighborhood for some
imc bcforu her dcnth. At HID recent
oanion of the county commisaionora ,
t was tlioiiL'ht beat to inquire into thu
natter , am ! Constable Mustcrimui and
yoronor Slmw worp sent out ycstor-
lay with instructions to learn the
ruth of the matter. They arrived
ipwn the grounds about 12 o'clock
. 'ucBtiay , and soon after took the
> ody from its burial placo. The ex
amination made by Dr. Shaw
irovod the truth of thu com-
) laints made. The body of the
hild was covered with acara and
iruisos , some of them inflicted but a
hort time before death. The back
f the body had two large scars ; the
orohead , nose , cheek and temple were
miiaod ; cord marks wore found on
he wrists , fingers nnd feet , the great
oos of both foot nnd one finger wore
missing , and numerous ulcerated scars
ovoreil the limbs and arms.
The under-clothing was in nn almost
ilthy condition , showing that the
hild had been almost entirely uncared
or.
Frederick and MnggioClawaon , who
are charged with having caused the
loath of the child , were arrested and
brought to Lincoln Tuesday , upon a
warrant of the coroner , by the advice
f the coroner's jury.
The coroner's inquest was hold at
ho engine .house court room Wednes-
lay afternoon. Quito a largo crowd
if people , mostly of them from the
wintry and the neighborhood where
he accuaed live , was in attendance.
? ho prisoners were brought in at an
larly hour , and excited considerable
uriosity and comment while the
rowd waited for the proceedings to
H'gin. Clawaon is a large , red-fncod
lennaii , whoso coarse looks show are
ro > it deal of animal nature. IIo ap-
eared unconcerned. His wife , wheat
at beside him , is a small woman , and
n looks , the opposite ot her husband.
She appeared to be nervous and un
easy.
In the crowd present there were
wo young sisters of the littlu girl
vhoso death tliCso people are charged
with causing. A number of friends
wore also among the people in the
oom.
The testimony of the witnesses
hewed the child had been subjected
o every manner of cruel treatment
liat a brutal mind could conceive ,
ihe was compelled to herd cattle in
lie fields , ahoeless and scantly
lothed , at all seasons , and in one in
tance was tied up for fourteen days
jecauso the cattle were allowed to
eave a certain pasture. The two
istors of the deceased wore not per
mitted to see her even at the grave.
The jury , after further consultat
ion , brought in the verdict that
jertie Burgman , came to her death
> y wounds , inflicted by Mr. and Mr.s.
