THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. C. WINK, Cditon Proprietor. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1893. BLAIE 1'AS.stS AWAY. The Summons Comes at Last to the Ureal Statesman The Whole Country Mourns Proc tarnation by the President. of the Government at Washington be whole people barring a few ultra el Red and that on all public build- rabid balers of the Ihristain Sunday iogs throughout the United Elates, stand ready to declare for Sunday the netiooal flag be displayed at half closiug. Therefore, close the gales. din ft ; and that for a period of thirty David Mintzs, Mr. Blaine died at his residence to Washington, D. C, at 11 o.clock a. m , Friday, Jan. 27, 1893. James Gillepie Blaiue's death, although it has removed from the world a carac ter who has been prominent in every thing he undertook, caused but little surprise. The news of it bad beeu to long discouuted that there remain ed but the announcement. It was foregone conclusion that his battle with death would be the final defeat of his life. Though the facts as to his illuess have from the first been Studiously concealed, through the official channels of communication, he was a sick man when be returned to Washington to settle down for the winter; death and its bereavements added more and more to his ailments, lie has grown worse and continued on his journey to the grave as fast as the days would carry him. And skill has furnished him the weapons of de fence for a comparately long time. But his death has furnished the end of the fight. He was a doomed man from the start and to all iutents, he baa been a dead man for these many days past. His mind had been al most a blank for weeks past, his lu cid movements having been but few and at times far between ; but bis physical frame has withstood the ravages of wasting disease until now. Naturally enough there has been a disposition oo the part of the family and the attending physicians to either conceal or distort in some way the real conditions existing in the Blaine mansion, but from time to time ac curate information as to Mr. Blai&e's condition has been obtained an1 faithfully reported Dating from the cradle to the tomb, Mr. Blaine's sixty-three years have beeu aotive ones, All the trials and tribulations that fall to the lot of a public man bave been his, aod have earned fur him the peaceful ending of a career which closed when Iifes caudle made its last flicker. In the death of Mr. Blaine, Amer ica has I oat ber most distinguished cuizno, ana toe .nation mourns toe loss of its greatest and most beloved statesman sioce the days ot Henry Clay. As our neighbor of the Frauk lio jsevot well puts it: "Mr. Ltuine passes ioto history as one of the most powerful and brilliant personages of bis time and country. His mateblrs skill in debate, bis incisive speech and trenchant logic, his traces of diction aud his fascination ot manner, will long be remembered. He reign ed in the affections of many and be commanded the admiration of all." Mr. Blaine lacked but four days of being 63 years of age. He was born in the villiage of West Brownsville, Washington couuty, Pa , and he was the second eon of Ephraim Blaine his mother beiog a Miss Gillespie prior to her marriage. The President issued the following proclamation : "Executive Mansion, ) Washington, D C , Jau 27, 1893. j "It is my paiuful duty to announce to the people of the United Slates the death of James Gillespie Blaine, which occurred in this city to day at 11 o'clock. For a full generation this eminent citizen has occupied a conspicuous aod influential position in the nation. His fim public eer vice was iu the Legislature of bis Slate. Afterward fur fourteen years be was a member of the national House of Representatives aud was three times chosen its Speaker. Iu 1876 be was elected to the Senate. He resigned his beat in that body to accept the position of Secretary of Slate iu the cabiuet of President Garfield. After the tracio death ot his chief, be resigned from the cabi net, aod, devoting himself to literary work, gave to the public in bis "Twenty Years in Congress" a most valuable aud enduring cootrihutiou to our political literature. Iu March, 1889, he agaio became Secretary of . . ... male aoa continued to exercise nis office until June, 1882. His devotion to the public interest, bis marked ability and his exalted patriotism have won for bira the gratitude and affection of bis countrymen aod the admiration of the world. Iu the va ried pursuits of legislation, diplou a cy and literature bis genius has ad ued new lustre to American citizen shin. As it suitable exnreusion of the uatioual appreciation of his great public services aud of the general sorrow ruused by bis death, I direct that oo the day of bis funeral all the departments of lbs executive branch days the Department of Stale shall be draped in mourning. "Benjamin Hakrison. "By the President, "John W Foster. Seo'y cf State.' THE DEAD BTVTEsMAtt's FUNERAL. All that remained earthly of James Gillespie Blaiue, was laid away in its last tenement at Oak Hill cemetery, Monday afternoon, and the funeral that preceded the simple riles at the grave was one of the most impressive in history. Great as be was as a civ ic hero, renowned as he was as a statesman ; worshiped as he was ai an American, and exalted as he was as a man, the pomp and pageantry of power had no place iu the ceremo ny that attended bis body to its final rest.

Through streets aud aveuues, where the people stood with uncovered heads, the long procession, representatives of a sorrowing Nation, paid the dead man the tribute of their tears. Mr. Blaioe could not have a pri vate funeral. Every effort was made to comply with bis own understood wishes, aod with the expressed de sires oi bis family in this regard, but the surging wave of public interest wept over the barriers imposed aud made bis private fuueral one of the most impressive of public demon strations iu honor of the dead. The most emiueut men in iheatiun stood around toe bier. All business to tne Nation's capital was suspended during tbe period when the fuueral services were in progress. The presence of the President aud rabiuet and su preme judges and high ofht-iala ot congress aud of the diplomatic corps, was not more siguifiicant than the homage of the waiting crowds, who in respectful silence liued the street through whicb the funeral cortege passed. A few minutes past eleven o'clock the funeral party took its departure from tbe bouse, aod shortly after en tered the Presbyterian, cburch of the Covenant, where tbe pastor, Dr. Hamlin, delivered a short discourse, aud at 12:45 the casket was again raised and tbe distinguished con course began to move toward lue cemetery. At the crave Dr. Hnmlin read the simple service of the Pres byteriao church, pronouueed the beu ediction, and all that was mortal of James G. Blaine was consigned to earth. .

And now along comes this item from a Harrisburg exchange: At a tneetiug of tbe letrialativ. committee ot the stale Teachers As socintiou at the Depariuieut of Pub lie Iusiru"ction, it was recorameudeo that there should be nu changes in Ihe present school laws, the mem hers are unanimous in tbe belief thai ihe existing laws, giving permissivt authority to school boards to supph bonks tree ot cost to the children oui if the district funds, are eutirtly sat istactory to the people of the btate, and any interference by legislation ir not advisable. The question arises, what has thic .Legislative committee of tbe btate Teachers' Association" to do with the huskiest, anyway. It doesn't take a mathematician to Ggure out that its recommendation thai "no changes be made iu the present school laws" if nteuded simply to head off the fret school bonk idea, and therefore granting a new lease of life to pub lishing bouse steals. The people ol the Commonwealth do recommend a change in the present law, to the enr1 that the State takes bold of the texi hook business aod stop tbe robbery And any legislator who votes agaiust such a measure should receive a through and complete political burial To balance last settlement $14,108 50 To tine.
