Truly , n srcat man linn passed n\\ny nnil a ( Trent light ftono out. Postmaster ( lenornl Wnnatnnkor I Bhnll not soon forgot the lust hour I spent with him , when ho talked frcol.v about his feel- inps and his plans about n week before ho Went upstair * for tlio lust thno. Pennsyl vania may well be proud of her brllllantson , loverer than Henry Clay and as eloquent aa JDanlcl Wobstcr. An a statesman his name will always bo cherished wltli that of the Krcatcst Americans , Why Ho l.rtl tlin Ciililrii't. A gentleman who war , Intimately asso ciated with Mr. nialno suld : At 12 o'clock on the day Mr. Hlnluo's rcslRnatlon was Klvcn out ho had no Idea of resigning from ( the cabinet. At the dinner hour ho went liomo and found that some ono had marked u number of Interviews which had been telegraphed from Minnua ] > ells and printed In several impure. They accused Mr. Ulalno jjvlth betraying the president and with using Ills plaoo in tno cabinet as a cover for a con- Biiiracy to defeat the president and secure the nomination. The interviews wound up liy declaring that if Mr. Ulnlno was an honorable man ho would have resigned from the cabinet. Under the boat of Indignation over thcso Interviews Mr. Hlaltui wrote his resignation , nnd ho has since told his frloads that there wore never but two occasions of difference liotween himself and the prcsl ( lent , and that they had been fully explained and satisfactorily settled. The death of Mr. Hlaino occasioned great regret among the members of the diplomatic corps , and they will probably attend the funeral In a body. There tire but seven of tboso who served with Mr. lilainoJn the senate remaining in that body , where ho served so honorably and BO well. They are Senators Allison , Cock- rcll , Dawcs , Gorman , Mitchell. Morrlll and liansotn , four republicans and three demo crats. Mr. Hale , the Junior senator from Maine , who perhaps stands nearer to Mr. Hlaino than any other man In Washington , was too greatly moved by the personal sorrow that cumo to him to express his views concerning the llfo work of the great party leader. His remarks announcing to the seuato the death of Mr. lilalao were delivered with the ut most feeling and but partially expressed the deep emotion that possessed him. Hcimlor I'ryo' * Ar < | imlntiinru with Him , The acquaintance of Mr. Fryo , the senior Malno senator , with Mr. Hlultio was of very longstanding. Said ho : I was a momberof the Maine legislature when Mr. Hlaino was the speaker of the Malno house , and I have been closely connected with him over since. I think ho was the most brilliant man I over know. Ho had a most wonderful ca pacity for absorbing information and a still more wonderful capacity for giving it out at n tlinoly moment. Ho was a very remark able conversationalist and was rather fond of It. Indeed , his ] > owcrs were not -.fully Hhown In sot speeches and ho was a much inoro dangerous foe In a running debate. I do not think ho himself ever fancied making what Is known as a speech. On the stump nothing pleased him better than Inter ruptions , and ho was wonderfully effective in his replies. The ravages of time or the vicissitudes of political life are strongly accentuated by the fact that In a house composed of ! CTJ mem bers today , there are but twelve members who served In tbo house with Hlaine. These are Holraan , O'Neill of Pennsylvania , Har- inor , Hooker. Hlount , Hurroxvs , Springer. Forno'y , Gulberson , Bland , Henderson of Illinois , and Ketcham. Statement of tint Physicians. The following Is the oniclal statement of the attending physician as to the cause of death : The boKlnnliiK of Sir. HIalno'.s Illness dates back some years.

"I shall over retain rnost kindly memories of this great states man , and his family have my profound sym pathy in their hour of deepest sorrow. " Thcso were the words with which Vice irosldent-olcct Stevenson closed a brief Interview on the death of Mr. Hlaino this afternoon. -"I know Mr. Hlaino very well , " ho said , "having served with him in the Forty-fourth congress. Ho was indeed an at tractive man. Ho possessed to a largo degree that magnetism which appeals to friend and foe , that something which mndo men follow his leadership wherever he led them. In many respects ho closely resembled Henry Clay. "As n | x > pular Idol , as a great leader of his party , the likeness was striking. No states man In modern times had moro devoted followlngs ; possibly none had engendered inoro bitter opposition among sections of their own followers than Mr. Hlaino and Mr , Clay , Kneh man was the most popular of his party , nnd yet each was unable to reach the goal of his ambitions thu presidential chair. "You ask mo if Mr. Hlaino had any per sonal friends among the democrats. Ho cer tainly had , and his death will bo regretted by democrats as sincerely as by the repub licans. The sorrow I have expressed will find an echo in ovcry man wno appreciates genius and patriotism. " AVutterton on th Demi Stuteamuii , LOUISVIU.K. Ivy. , Jan. ST. Mr. Wattorson , In his leader for tomorrow in the Courier- Journal on the death of Mr. Hlaino , reviews the history of , Mr. lilaino's Illness , and says it has been known fora longtime by those who had the means of ascertaining the truth , that for moro than a year there were occasions when ho was not in his perfect mind. "Among the modern leaders of modern politics , " continues the edttoriul , "James O , Blaine stood easily tlrst. In the power of drawing to himself the admiration of great masses of the people , and of arousing the en thusiasm of hla followers , ho had no equal In cither political cump. Ills personality was lugularly attractive , Hut back of that Mr. Blaine possessed a mind stored with useful knowledge ; a mind methodical and orderly ; powerful and brilliant. Ho was a master both In council and In action : both in the cabinet , wiioro politics w r formed , and in the arena where they were enforced and defended. A rcrtaln lack of prestige which marked his brief service In the senate , can bo traced directly to the circumstance that ho was not a trained lawyer.

The Associated Press has the following advices of action touching Hlaino's death : The leg islatures of New York and Illi nois adjourned as a mark of respect. The populist house of Kansas passed a reso lution of appreciation of his services to the country and sympathy to the family , and the representative house took a recess till 1 o'clock. James Glllesplo Hlalno was born in West Brownsville , Washington county , Pa. , Jan uary 31 , l&W. Ho was the second sou of ICphraim L. Hlalno nnd Maria Gillcsplo. His great-grandfather , Kphralm Hlaine , was an oflicer of the Pennsylvania line in the revolution , a trusted friend of Washing ton and during the last four years of the war served as commissary general of the northern department of hlsehiof's command. Ho contributed from his own means for the support of the army during the terrible winter at Valley Forgo and persuaded various friends to do likewise. Mr. Blaino's father moved from the Cum berland valley , whom the family had been among the founders of Carlisle , to Washing ton county In 1818. Ho inherited what was considered a fortune in those days and came Into the possession of considerable land in western Pennsylvania. Its mineral wealth had not been developed , and while the family was raised above jwcrty they could not in dulge in luxury. The father was a man of education and had traveled in Europe and South America. Ho was of Scotch-Irish extraction - traction Mr. Blaine's mother was a woman of superior force nnd Intelligence and remained throughout llfo a devout Catholic. The early education of Mr. Blaine was as carefully cultivated as well us the oppor tunities of that early day would permit. During a part of 1841 lie attended school at l ancastor , O. , where ho lived in the family of Thomas Ewing , then secretary of the treasury. In association with Thomas Ewing , Jr. , afterwards a member of congress , he began hia preparation forcollcgo under the instruc tion of William Lyons , brother of Ixml Lyons. At the ago of 13 ho entered Washington college in his native county , and ho gradu ated in 181" at the age of 17. silo hail , a marked taste for historical studies , and excelled in literature and mathematics. In a literary society he dis played the political aptitude which after wards distinguished him. . Some time after graduation he became a teacher In the Western Military Institute at Blue Icicle Springs , Ky. Hero ho formed the acquaintance of Alias Harriet Stanwood of Maine , who was connected with n seminary for girls in the neighboring town of Millers- burg , and within a few months they were married. Ho soon returned to Pennsylvania , where , after some study of the law , ho became a teacher in the Pennsylvania Institution for the Blind at Philadelphia. Two years latci'1 at the suggestion of his wife , It is said , ho removed to Augusta.Me. Ho has continued to call Augusta homo slnco that time , 1854. He bought a half Interest hi the Kcnncbcc Journal , and within three years ho was u master spirit In the politics of the state. ISvKliiiiliiKorill * I'olltleal Career. He engaged in the movement for the for mation of the republican party , and his earnest , incisive discussion of the rising conliict between slavery and freedom at tracted wide attention. Ho was a delegate to the1 first national republican convention in 1850 , which nominated John C. Fremont for president. The next year Mr. Blaine broadened his Journalistic work by taking the editorship of the Portland Advertiser , but his editorial career was destined to bo brief. Ho was elected to the legislature in 185S and re mained a member for four years , being elected annually four times. Ho was speaker tho'hist ' two years. Ho also became chairman of the republican state committee in 1853 and held that position continuously for twenty years. In 18(12 ( Mr. Blaine was elected to congress , Where in ono branch or the other ho served for eighteen years. He was elected to the house for seven successive terms. During his first term his only extended speech was an argument In favor of the assumption of the state war debts by the general govern ment and in demonstration of the ability of the north to carry the war to a successful conclusion. But no gradually took part in the running discussions , and soon gained great repute as a ready debater. Ho was bold in attacks , quick in repartee and apt in illustration. His close study of political history , his accurate knowledge of the record and relations of public men and his unfailing memory gave him great advan tages. Ho was largely Instrumental hi securing the introduction of the system of postal cars. Ho supported the bill for a draft , but op- jwsed absolute conscription. Ho contended that it should bo relieved by provisions for commutation or substitution , and urged that an-inexorablo draft had never been resorted to but once , oven under thu absolutism of Napoleon. Ho , however , believed in the vigorous prosecution of tjio war and lent strong support to war measures. During the reconstruction period , from ISM to 18u'J , Mr. Blaine exercised a great deal of influence in shaping legislation re lating to the south. His opposition defeated Thaddeus Stevens' proi > ouitlon that con gressional representation bo apportioned ac cording to the number of legal voters , instead of the ixjpulation. Mr. Stevens' re construction bill divided the rebellious states into 11 vo districts and provided for a military government to which the civil authorities should bo .subordinated. Mr. Blaine moved as an amendment that when a southern state should assent to thu fourteenth amendment to the constitution and should establish equal and Impartial Justice , without regard to voice or voter , It should bo entitled to representation in congress and the military government should cease. This was defeated in thu house , but was received In the senate , and llnully passed both branches. The greenback agitation began in 1807 dur ing Mr. Hlaino's absence In Europe. On his return ho made a long speech in congress against the doctrine , and ho is said to have been the first member of that body to pub licly oppose the now movement. The long unsettled question of protecting naturalized American citizens while abroad attracted special attention about this time. Costello , Warren , Burke and other Irish- Americans had been arrested in England on the charge of complicity In Fenian plots. Costello had made a speech In New York , in 180T ) that was regarded as treasonable by the British government. Ho was treated as a British subject and tried on that charge under an old law. Ills plea of American citizenship was over ruled , nnd ho was convicted and sentenced to sixteen years' penal servitude. Mr. Blalne , with other statesmen , resisted the doutrinu of perpetual allegiance nnd maintained that a naturalized American was entitled to the same treatment abroad as a native citizen. Thodlscusslonof these cases led to the treaty of 1870. In which Great Britain abandoned the doctrine of "once a subject always a sub ject , " and accepted the principle for which Mr. Blaine had contended. A * n I'urty I.emler. Mr. Blaine was chosen speaker of the house of representatives In IStl'J and served by successive ro-o Itxnlon for six years. His administration of the speaker-ship was com monly regarded as one of thu most brilliant and successful In the annals of the house. Ho had rare aptitude and equipment for the duties of presiding ofllcor. His complete mastery of parliamentary law , his dexterity and physical endurance , his rapid dispatch of business and his firm and Impartial spirit were rouoguLMd by all parties. Though necessarily e-xorcNhitf n Brent influence on the course of legislation , ho seldom left the chair to mlnglo with the contests of the lloor. The political revolution of 1974 placed the democrats lu control of the house , nnil Mr. Hlnlnc became the tender of the minority on the floor. The session preceding the presidential con * test of 1870 was n jK'riod of stormy conten tion. A general amnesty bill wan brought forward , removing the political disabilities of confederates. Mr. Ulalno moved to amend by malting nn exception of Jeffer son Davis , and supported the proiwsl- lion In an Impassioned speech. After asserting the great magnanimity of the gov- eminent and pointing out how far amnesty had been carried , ho defined the ground of Ids proimsed exception. The reason was not that Davis was chief of the confederacy , but that ho was "tho author knowingly , deliberately , guiltily and wilfully of the gigantic murders and crimes of Anderson- villo. " In fiery language ho declared that no military atrocities in history exceeded those for which Davis was thus responsible. This outburst produced deep excitement In the house and among the people. Benjamin H. Hill of Georgia assumed the lead In opjiositioii to Blaluo. Ho not only denied the charge against Davis as un true and unfounded , but brought similar ac cusations against the north for its treatment of southern prisoners. In reply Mr. Blaine turned upon Mr. Hill with a resolution Intro duced by him in the confederate senate pro viding that every soldier or oflicer of the United States captured on the soil of the confederate states should bo presumed to have come with intent to Incite Insurrection and should suffer the penalty of death. This episode arrested universal t'.tteution and gave the member from Maine n still stronger hold as the leader of his party. ( ) f tlin Mulligan r.ctlrrii. Kven after this Mr. Blalne became the subject of a violent personal assault. Charges were circulated that ho had received $ | } | , OUO from the Union Pacific railroad for some un defined services. On April ' . ' 4 , IHTti , ho rose to a personal explanation In the house. He produced letters from the officers of the com pany and from the bankers who were salt ! to have negotiated the draft , in which they de clared that there had never been any such transaction ami that ho had never received $1 from the company. Mr. Blaine proceeded to add that the charge had reappeared In the form of an assertion that ho had received bonds of the Little Iloek & Fort Smith railroad as a gratuity , and that these bonds had been sold through the Union Pacific company for his benefit. Ho declared that he had never had any such bonds , except at the market price , and that instead of making a profit from them he had suffered a loss. A few days later it was charged that ho had received a gift of bonds of the Kansas Pacific railroad , and had been a party to a suit concerning them in the Kansas courts. To this ho answered by producing evidence that his name had been confounded with that of a brother , who was ono of the early settlers of Kansas and who had bought stock in the Kansas Pacific before the Maine man had even been nominated for congress. On May 2 , a resolution was adopted In the house to investigate an alleged purchase by the Union Pacific at an excessive price of certain bonds of the. Little Hock & Fort Smith railroad. It soon became evident that the investigation was aimed at Mr. Blaine. An extended business correspond ence of his with Warren Fisher of Boston , running through years nnd relating to vari ous transactions , had fallen into the hands of a clerk named Mulligan , and It was al leged that the production of this correspond ence would confirm the imputations against the accused congressman. When Mulligan was summoned to Wash ington Mr. Bluinc , possessed himself of the letters , together with a memorandum that contained a full index and abstract. On Juno 5. ho rose lu the house to a personal ex planation. After denying the right of the house to compel the production of his private papers and asserting his willingness to go to any extremity In defense of his rights , ho declared his purpose to reserve nothing. Holding up the letters , ho exclaimed : "Thank God , I am not ashamed to show them There Is the very .original package. And with soino.senso of humiliation , with a mortification I dp not' attempt to cmiecal , with a sense of outrage which I think -any man in my iKisltion would feel , I invite the confidence of 44,000,1)00 ) of my countrymen while I read those letters from this desk. " The demonstration closed with a dramatic scene. Josiah Caldwell , ono of the origin ators of the Little lloek ft. Fort Smith rail road , who had full knowledge of the whole transaction , was traveling in Europe , and both sides were seeking to communicate with him. On finishing the reading of the letters Mr. Blainu tumed to the chairman of the investigating committee and demanded to know whether ho had received nuy dispatch from Mr. Caldwoll. Receiving an evasive answer. Mr. Blaiuo asserted , as within his own knowledge , that the chairman had re ceived such a dispatch , "completely and ab solutely exonerating mo frpm this charge , and you have suppressed it. " The state ment created a profound 86113911011 , and General Garfleld said : "I have been a long time in congress , and novcr saw such a scene In the houso. " 1'rcHliIcntlal Axplrutluns. Tlio republican national convention of 1870 was now nt hand , and Mr. Blaine was the most prominent candidate for the presiden tial nomination. Ho had a larger following of enthusiastic friends than any other as pirant , and the stirring ovcnts of the pre ceding few months had intensified their de votion. On the ilrst ballot ho received 233 votes out of a total of 734 , the remainder beiug divided among Senator Morton , Sec retary Bristow , Senator Conkling , Gov ernor Hayes and others. On the seventh ballot his vote rose to S131 , lacking only twenty-eight of n majority , but a union of the supporters of all the other candidates gave Hayes JiSl and nominated him. Shortly after the convention , on the resig nation of Senator Merrill of Maine to accept the trcasuryship , Mr. Blaitio was ap pointed senator to fill the unoxplred term , and in the following winter ho was elected by the legislature for the full term ensuing. In the senate ho opposed the creation of the electoral commission for the settlement of the disputed presidential election of 1H7I ! on the ground that congress did not Itself ] K > ssess the jxiwcr it proposed to confer on the commission. On the currency question ho always as sumed a pronounced jxisition. In the house ho siwko against the i > erpotuatioii of an Ir redeemable paper currency. In the senate ho made a strong fight against the deteriora tion of the silver coinage. Ho opposed the Bland bill , and when its passage was scon to be Inevitable ho sought to amend it by providing that the dollar should have 425 grains of standard silver instead of 412 } grains. Ho favored a bimetallic currency , and resisted both the adoption of the single gold standard and the depreciation of silver. Measures for the development and pro tection of American shipping early engaged his attention. In 1878 ho advocated the es tablishment of a line of mail steamers to Brazil and unhesitatingly urged a subsidy for that imrixiso. Ilorecurreu to the subject frequently , contending that Great Britain and Franco had built up their commerce by liberal aid to steamship lines and that a similar policy would produce similar results for America. Ho argued that congress had endowed the railroads with JWW.OOO.OOO , which had produced SW.OOO.UOO.OOO to the country , and that the policy ought not to stop when It reached the sea. On the Chinese question ho declared him self decidedly in favor of restricting Immi gration. In a speech on February 14 , 187 ! ' , hu contended that there were only two courses : That the Chinese must bo ex cluded or fully admitted into the family of citizens. Hu held that the latter was im practicable and dangerous ; that the Chinese could not be assimilated with our people or Institutions , and that it was a duty to pro tect the free laborer of America against the servile laborer of China. Ho bore a prominent part In 1870 In frus trating the attempt to steal the state gov ernment of Malno and in defeating n scheme ot the democracy , which at first refused to pass appropriation bills for the support of the government unless accompanied with i\ proviso prohibiting the presence of troops at federal elections , T.ho contest necessitated an extra session of congress , nt which the bills were passed , As the presidential convention of 18SO ap preached it , was apparent that Mr. Blaine retained the support ho had four years bo foro. The contest developed into an earnest and prolonged struggle between his friends and those persons who advocated n third term for General Grant. The conwntlon , ono of the most memor able In American history , lasted through six days , and thcro were thirty-six ballots. On the first the vote stood * Grant. 04 ; Blaine , 234 ; Sherman , tU ; Edmunds , 34 ; Washburuo , UO ; Wludoui , 10 ; GarUold , I. On the final ImlloUhrj friends of Blaine nnd Sherman united uu .General Garllold , who received BW votoj ' 00 for Grant. An erf > rjr of Htntr , President Oarl npK | > lntcd Mr. Blalne his secretary of ; Ho remained at the head of that .v < i n rtmcnt loss than ten months , nnd his effective administration was practically limited by the assassination of the president to four months. Within that period , however , he began several Important undertakings. His foreign policy had two principal objects. The first was to secure and preserve pea < y throughout the American continents , The swond was to culti vate close commercial relations and Increase our trade with the various other countries of North and Sotitl America. The accomplishment of the first object was preliminary and essen tlal to the attainment of the second. Ti promote thcso ho projected a psaro congress. to bo hold nt Washington , to which nil tin Independent powers of North and Soutl America were to bo Invited. His plan con tomplated the cultivation of such a friendl undorstnnding on the part of the powers us would permanently avert the horrors of war either through the influence of pacific coun sels or the acceptance of Impartial arbltra tion , Incidentally it assured that the as scmbling of these representatives nt Wash Ingtou would pave the way to commerela advantages for the United States. The project , though already determined upon , was delayed by the fatal shot at Gar field , and the invitations were not issued until November 20 , 1881. It fixed November 24 , 1882 , as the data for i the proposed pan American congress. Mr. Blaine retired frou President Arthur's cabinet December U ) , 1881 , and within three weeks his successor had reversed his jwllcy and the plan was abandoned , after the invitation had been accepted by all the American powers but two. Mr. Blaino's brief service as secretary of state was signalized by an important correspondence respondenco with the British govein- ment concerning the modification of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The Colombian re public had proposed to the European powers that they should unite in guaranteeing the neutrality of the Panama canal. On Juno 2-1. Mr. Blaine Issued n circular letter de claring the objection of this government to any such concerted action , and asserting the prior and paramount rights of the United States. Ho pointed out that this gov eminent hail entered into u guarantee by the treaty of 1840 with the republic of New Grenada , now Colombia ; that this country had a supreme Interest In watching over any highway between the two coasts ; and that any agreement among European lowers to supercede this guarantee and impair our exclusive rights would bo regarded as an indication of unfriendly feeling. In this' connection lie made formal proposal to the British government for the abrogation of certain clauses of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty , which were not in harmony with the rights of the United States as secured by the convention with the Colombian republic. Throughout the correspondence he insisted In the firmest tone that "it is the fixed purpose of the United States to consider the isthmus canal question as an American question , to bo dealt with and decided by , the American govern ments. " Mr. Blaine also sought to restore peace be tween Chill and Peru and to mitigate the consequences of tho'crushlng defeat suffered by the latter. Ho 'Offered the friendly ser vices of the Uiiitwl States for arbitration and oven sent a snv al messenger to South America , but this' ihaprtitklng was also de feated by his rotiiirt lit from the cabinet. Mr. lilaine now found himself out of public olllco for the/ , first time in twcnty- thrca years. HP soon after began to write an elaborate historical work entitled "Twenty Years of Congress.1 The first 22 pages gave a concise review of the earlier political his tory of the country , and then followed a de tailed narrative of the eventful period from Lincoln to Garfieltl. 1801 to 1881. The first volume wo.s publisjiu.il iu April , 183-1 , and the second in January. , 1$30. The work had n largo sale and won , cucral approval for Its impartial spirit ansl Brilliant style. A PreililMiMut Nominee. When the rcputaficiiU national convention of 1884 met it was't'liMtr that Mr. Blaine had lost none of his hold tipon thu enthusiastic regard of his party. * * pn > the first ballot for a nominee for provident ho received Ji'M1 votes. President ' -IWthur 278 , Senator Ed munds 03 , Senlitor'Lu'gnn 03J < , and the res.t were scattering. Mr. Blaino's vote kept gaining until the fourt.li ballot , when ho was nominated by a vote of ' ' 541 out of u total of 813. The canvass that followdd' was ono of peculiar bitterness. Mr. Hlaino took the stump in Ohio , Indiana and Now York , and in a scries of remarkable speeches , chiefly devoted to advocating the policy of protec tion to American industries , deepened the popular impression ot his Intellectual power. The election turned upon the result in New York state , which gave Grover Cleveland a majority ot 1,047 votes and defeated Mr. nialno. Several causes contributed to this result , but It is probable the republican can didate would have carried the state but for the ill-considered alliteration of Uov. Dr. Burchard. At r. reception tendered by clergymen to Mr. Blaine In New York City a few nights before the election , Mr. Bur- chard acted as spokesman and in an address arraigning the democracy , charged It with being the party of > "Uum , Homanism and Rebellion. " A largo number of Irish Catho lics had been won to Mr. Blaino's support by thu friendliness holhad shown toward Ire land , but the Bureliard alliteration drove them back into the democratic party. During tbo Iu t Might Years. The campaign of 1884 had interrupted Mr. Blnino's work on "Twenty Years of Con gress , " but ho resumed Its writing imme diately after the result of the election was known. On the completion of that work , in 1880 , ho went to Europe for rest and recreation , and was treated in ofllcial circles with great consideration. His hold on party esteem apparently remained unabated and oven while abroad ho was generally regarded as a proba ble candidate for the presidential nomina tion of 18S8. In December of 1887 , while In Paris , ho hail himself Interviewed on Presi dent Cleveland's free trade attitude , and his remarks were cabled to America. In that interview ho made a vigorous assault upon the democratic position and a ringing defense - fenso of the republican doctrine of protec tion. It was then generally believed that ho would seek a ronominatioii , but a nhort time before the convention of 1888 , in u letter from Italy , ho directed his friends not to allow his name to bo used In that connec tion. It was assorted that he took this course in deference to the wishes of his family , who feared that the strain of an other campaign would bo too much for his already undermined health. Mr. Blaine returned to political llfo In 1880 , when ho became secretary of state under President Harrison , Ho Immediately re sumed the project for a closer alliance of the American powers , which had been frus trated eight years "before by the death of President Garfleld. The first result was the pan-American conKvtws of IblK ) . This was supplemented by hLs reciprocity ] x > lioy , which was incoriniijiieil in the MoKiuloy tariff bill at his solicitation. Perhaps the most important anytn ? thu other measures ho brought fonvarufiurjiig this period was the arbitration of iliti Bering sea seal fishery question In controversy between the United States and Great Hi ( tain. The events of thl'llist two years , which presented some vef J'Ttitrlcato and extremely delicate diplomatic proi > osltions Involving the peace of America , maybe of the world , gave Mr. Blaine enough scope for the exer cise of his skill as international ' lawyer.

God bo thanked for the prairies I Progress has always followed the sun westward and In its march "life grows moro intense and time more potent. " Better ten years in America than a cycle in Europe. Two years In the now west equals a decade In the Atlantic States. Oxen and horses dragged progress through the old cast , railroads rushed It through thu middle states and electricity is flashing it over the great west. In the east crossroads In tlmo became vil lages , villages grow to towns , and towns , the fittest of them , eventuated into cities. Hero In the west evolution has no part In the proci-ss of building cities. Conception and execution aro. the parents , the birth is electric. Behold the offspring ! A city has sprung like Minerva from the head. of Jupiter , full grown and fully equlpi > ed. Our cities Invo no history. The east has three epochs of tlmo , past , present and future. Wo have no yesterday. Wo know only today full of throbbing llfo and tomorrow blooming with promise. Two decades ago American manufactures were sj insignificant that they excited only contemptuous consideration in the Old world. Ten years ago England found herself successfully rivaled in her own mar kets by American productions. ' 1 ho progress of manufacturing in the new west during : the last ten years has equaled half n century in the cast. Who has the temerity to predict the growth of the next decade ? Just now wo find in Central Nebraska , 250 miles west of Omaha , n young Lowell baby and man at once. In ago an infant , in com mercial and manufacturing advantages an adult. This young city has no forests in hundreds of miles , no coal fields in reach. She needs none. She has power measurably without cost and without price. The Platte river , provided by the Almighty and trained by man to do his work , incessantly and tire lessly drives the wheels of Gothenburg's factories. When the men who projected and accomplished this great work are forever done with this world the Gothenburg water power will still bo blessing the people and enriching the commonwealth. Eminent engineers say the Gothenburg water power can bo increased to any extent. The power plant has been completed less than a month and already the place is full of strangers seeking locations for mills and in vestments. The rapidity with which west ern pcoplo recognize u ml appreciate business advantages is a most important feature in the west's great growth. Desire and ability assist at the birth of opportunity. Accomplishment swallows up projection. Situated almost in the heart of the preat food-producing west , about equi-distant from water transportion by the lakes to the At lantic and by the gulf to all the world , why will not Gothenburg with its magnificent water power bo ono of the great mill ing centers of the greatest cereal producing country on the globe ? The agencies of civil ization today are electric , The rude imple ments of the past have trivcn place to the locomotive , the telegraph , the steam plow and harvester. The electrical transmission of power has given now uses and value to the old , time- honored force of falling water. Our water powers will this year moro than anything else attract English investors. A water power today will bo a water power for centuries Without fuel their fires will burn on forever. , * * O..W. CnAwrono.
