From our liegular Correspondent, Washington, Aug. 17, 1891. t'he National Association of demo cratic clubs will launch a decided poli tical novelty on the 12th of September, when a special car under the control of that Association will start from Washington on a forty days missionary tour. The car will go direct to Chica go and from there to St Paul and Minneapolis, where special meetings will be addressed by the speakers who will compose the crew of missionaries; from there it will go by easy stages along the Northern Pacific railway, stopping at a'l important points to allow the educational work to be done. The car will be due at Spokane Falls on the 23rd of September, upon which date a convention of the democratic clubs will be in session there, and a grand reception will be held. The journey will then be continued around Puget Sound in Oregon : thence througn California, Utah and Colorado, and returning to Iowa about the time the State campaign has reach ed its warmest period. There the missionaries are to take off their coats and take a hand in re-electing Gover nor Boies. The car will be in charge of Mr. Lawrence Gardner, Secretary of the Association, and among those "who have already volunteered as work ing missionaries are Senator Kenna, Representative Bynum, ex-Represen tative McAdoo and Honorable Chauncey F. Black president of the Association. A number of prominent democrats have the invitation under consideration and if they can so ar range their business affairs will also become missionaries for the dissemina tion of sound democratic doctrine Some of them who cannot spare the entire forty davs mav iom the nartv temporarily either coming or going or both. Success to the idea and to the missionaries. Secretary Foster, who has returned to Washington, is very much put out because of the publication of the fact trial the continuation of the maturing 4 per cent bonds at 2 per cent is already particularly a failure. Less than $20,000,000 of the $51,000,000 ot these bonds outstanding when tne offer was made have been presented for continuance and only two weeks remain in which thev mav be continu ed. What remains out after that time must be redeemed and that is what is worrying the astute Secretary of the Treasury. If any large amount of these bonds are to be redeemed and it seems certain now that there will he. it will be necessary to make a consid- eraDie noie in tne $100,000,000 gold reserve luna, and although Mr. Foster says that he will not hesitate to use this fund if it becomes necessarv. it is known that he would much prefer not naving to do so, as he is well aware that he has no legal right to pay out one dollar of that money. Representative Mills, who has been doing a little campaigning in Iowa, is back in Washington hard at work on his book on the tariff. Mr. Mills nays he found the greatest enthusiasm exist ing among the Iowa democrats and from his own observations he is of the opinion that Boies will be re-elected and that the entire ticket and legisla ture will also be carried by the demo crats. Mr. Mills expects to make Washington his headquarters until October, when he is under engagement to make a number of speeches in the Ohio campaign. He is a warm ad mirer of Governor Campbell and ex pects to see him defeat the high priest of protection ; he is also confident that the next Ohio legislature will certainly be anti-republican, if it is not controll ed by democrats exclusively. It begins to look very much like Mr. Harrison would have a'first class negro revolt on his hands if he dares to send a white man to Hayti, as minister in place of Fred Douglass whose forced resignation has been accepted. Prom inent negroes here say that they will do everything in their power to keep the negro voters of Ohio at home on election day if Mr. Harrison does not appoint a negro to the vacancy or promise to do so before the Ohio elec tion takes place. On the other hand those who profess to be familiar with Mr. Blaine's intention say that he is determined that a white man shall be sent to Hayti to assist in carrying out his policy with regard to that country. President Polk of the National Farmer's Alliance is out in a long in :erview claiming the earth so to peak, and taking special occasion to nake attacks upon Senators, Vance, Ranson, Gordon, Morgan, Pugh, Gorman and stating positively that the ' Alliance would have a National ticket in the field next year. Mr. Polk is said to be very much offended because the Maryland Alliance convention was friendly towards Senator Gorman in spite of his efforts to make it other wise. Washington has already secured tiledges of six votes in the National Democratic Committee which wi next v ebruary, decide where the next National Convention is to be held, and efforts are being made to secure others. Six hundred clerks were dismissed from the Census Office Saturday. The Hurrah for Blaine- When last year Mr. Blaine succeed ed 111 forcing his reciprocity provision into the McKinley JJill, and showed his sagacity by antagonizing the revo lutionary course of Speaker Reed and by declining to say a word in support of the Force Bill, The Ir'orW declared that he had made himself the inevita ble candidate of his party for Presi dent in 1892. Mr. Blaine's was the only conspic uous Republican head left above water in the terrific tidal wave of last No vember. Since then the only question has been whether the health of the real leader of his party would warrant his nomination and whether he would ac cept it. With these conditions satis factorily met, Mr. Blaine is as certain of a nomination by acclamation next year as he was in 1888 had he not de- lined. The active and enthusiastic support of his nomination in his na tive State of Pennsylvania, and the attitude of his closest friends at home and in other states, seem to indicate that the judgment of The World's correspondent who interviewed him three weeks ago was sound and that Mr. Blaine will stand. The disposition of the Republican leaders and managers to take up Mr. Blaine again with the old hurrah, while no doubt influenced chiefly bv the considerations of policy which we have indicated, is obviously due in part to the unmagnetic character to put it mildly of President Harrison's administration of public and party af fairs. While Mr. Blaine would be a for midable candidate we believe that the Democrats could, if wise in their choice of a ticket, defeat him more decisively than they did in 1884. World. OTJR CHIEF POLITICAL EVIL. We take the following from the Philadelphia Inquirer of Wednes day, August 19, in reference to the at tack: recently made upon Judge Ikeler: Editor Krickbaum, of the Blooms burg Democratic Sentinel, who was elected by the Democrats of Colum bia county to the last Legislature, prints an injudicious article in a re cent number of his paper concerning Judge Ikeler, the Democratic presi dent judge of the Columbia and Mon tour judicial district. The gist of Editor Krickbaum's article is that Judge Ikeler has ma-le a good judge, but that Editor Krickbaum will not be satisfied until the judge ceases to have anything to do with certain men in the Democratic party whom the Sen tine calls political bosses. The Sentinel is not very explicit in its statement of its grievance. It says that the judge has the courage to do what he believes to be right, and it has noticed with pride and admira tion, the way he has discharged the duties of his office in behalf of the op pressed in opposition to persons high in authority, but then the Sentinel goes on to say that it has also blushed with shame when he did some public duty at the beck or nod of a tyrannical boss. This vague charge against Judge Ikeler appears to us to be self- contradictory. When Judge Ikeler was a very young lawyer, as is not uncommon with young lawyers, he made a num ber of stump speeches in a campaign or two, but when he discovered that some of the small fry politicians of the county were endeavoring to use his good name and standing with the com munity tor their own purposes he with drew from politics altogether, and gave his whole time to the practice ot nis proiession. in which he was en gaged when nominated and elected to the bench a few years airo. There was more politics in the camnaiin than there ought to have been and a good deal of that personal slander which is the chief disgrace of Ameri- can politics and which will not come to an end until the American people come to understand its true value and cease to pay any attention to it. Judge Ikeler, however, was not re sponsible for this mud slinging, which, is especially disgraceful in a judicial campaign, and he was too well-known to the people of the district for them to pay much attention to it. lhe Sentinel concedes that his iu- dicial duties have been nerformerl with ability and impartiality, and the animus of the article is probably 'a de sire to injure through the press over the shoulders of the judge some other persons whom Representative Krick baum has had some political contest with and got worsted in it. When a newspaper editor warns a judge that he must "shun these political lepers as he would shun the devil" the inference is that he himsell wishes to use the judge as a club to club somebody that the editor and representative has not been able to club in any other way. J he Inquirer catcs nothing about local political quarrels among the Democrats of Columbia county, but it teeis that it is performing a public duty in pointing out the short-sighted policy ot trying to besmirch the bench in orcer to serve personal and politi cal purposes. 1 his catering to igno ranee, these efforts to arouse the prejudices and opposition of the igno rant and these attempts to compel the leaders ot society to deler to the igno rant are an extremely dangerous pas time. Suspicion and readiness to be lieve evil belongs to the lower intelli gence and are encouraged by the vanity of the ignorant in desiring to appear as Knowing as anybody, l or men to ex cite such suspicions for their own sel fish ends, while common enough in our politics, is unworthy of any per son who has patriotism enough to care lor the future of his country.

Tenks. of Brookville has expressed to a friend his objec tion to a constitutional convention. hope," he said, "that there won't be half dozen votes in the state in favor of a convention. It is an unfortunate time to have one with so many crank nouuns in me air. 11 is wrong to en oeavor 10 cnange tne constitution m i .. . . . . that way. We have a good constitution -one of the best in existence and if there is need of improving it in any particular it can be done by amend ment. The constitution should not be torn to pieces or a new one made as might be done if a convention is held. A constitution should be a growth improved and altered only as it becomes necessary. .We shouldn't throw away the experience and interpretations of seventeen years. but amend with a view to retaining the best of the decisions of the courts. Generally speaking a new constitution should only be made at me lounoiiig or creation of a State. I think that you will find that the railroads are ail in favor of a convention. They hope in some way to get article 17 so obnoxious to them and which causes them so much trouble at each session of the legisla ture repealed.
