Blaine has written a letter, from Florence, Italy, to chairman Jones, of the Republican National Committee saying that he declines having his name brought before the next Republican con: vention as acandidate for President. His reasons, he says, are personal, and on to argue that the Republican party is goiog to win at the nextelection There is no doubt that he could have the next Republican nomination it he desired it, and if he is confident that his party is going to win this year, why that would settle is that Blaine would be the next President. But Blaine knows, as well as we know, that cannot be elected—if it were certain he could be, he would not now decline to have his name brought before the For his sole ambition has been to be President. The declination of Mr. Blaine leaves the field clear for new booms and new bees presidential, Sherman, of Eliza Pinkston fame, can now get on the course. Dyuvamite Foraker, can put his boom afloat.

The first Arti cle of the treaty stipulates that should either, contrary to the wish aud bope of the contracting parties, be attacked by Russian, each is pledged to assist the oth- er, with ite entire military force, and oon- ly to conclude peace upon such terms as both agree to accept. The second Arti- ¢le provides that shonld either country be attacked by any other Power, the other pledges itself not to support the aggressor, but to maintain an atutode of nentrality. Should Rossia assist the aggressor, however, Article 1, comes into force, and war operations will then be carried on in common, and terms of peace be conjointly arranged. The publication of the treaty has naturally prodoced con- siderable excitement in Earope, By some it is regarded asan indication of peace, while otuers profess to see in ita token f coming wer, Tne treaty was evidently concluded with the ides of maintaining peace. In the preamble of the iustrament the two Emperors, who are the contracting parties, make “a mu tual sid solemn promise never to impart an aggressive tendency in any direction to their purely defensive agreement.” One thiog is certain that Rossia will hes itate look before taking the field against such on allinnce as that represented in this tresty. It Russia cootinues her aggressive movements on the southern froutier, she will kuow now what to exs * man can slam the door in our face and The man who cannot be impressed with the force of this statement is imper- vious to the logic of common sense. it goes on to say : “Now, we are seek- ing 8 profitable trade, We want to drive barcaius with the people oflevery nation, We tinve the genius, the enterprise, the machioery t1.at insure success. Give ns large free list, multiply the nomber of free raw materials and the hum of in- creased bosiness will be heard every- where, Open the tariff doors wide enongh to let in the raw goods and our merchaots will send their manafactured goods into every foreign market, and it will go hard with us, but we will enter upoo ao era of national prosperity such as we have never seen before. President Cleveland's policy of opening up a larger market for American manufacturers not commends itself to the coun- try’s pocket but to the country’s patriot- ism.” But the Bugaboo of free trade is in- voked to prevent congress from relieving the manufectorers of the burdens that hamper them in their competition with foreign markets, a —— — CURTIN ON CLEVELAND. New York World, 5th. Govervor Cartin is the representative of a race of statesmen that are fast disap~ pearing. He has retired from Congress, but maintains his interest in public af fairs and political events. His hair is white and his step bas lost its elastic spring, but his intellect retaine all of its old time vigor. Mr Cleveland, Governor Cartin thought, would be renominated and reelected. Mr. Cloveland was not a free trader, but he was a tariff reformer and every sensible man would agree that he tari ff needed reforming badly, New York would be the decisive battle ground in Governor Curtin’s opinion, in the next campaign, Ex Vice President Haonibal Hamlin informed the young Republicans of Portland, Me, in the course of a on Wednesday night, thatthe Demo- cratic party of to day is worse than it was in 1860, We guess old Hamlin is in bis second childhood and don’t know what's going on, # o i tion, and as he had declared in favor of the retention of the internal revenue taxes he could only have had in view a reduction of customs 1axation Jut he did not stop at inferential reasoning. He was quiet explicit, asthe foliowiig will show It is, therefore, simply an absurdity to talk no about a fre trade tariff, and to talk about fective tariff is unnecessary, because man could not possibly frame 8 tariff that would produce $140,000.00 in gold without amply pro tecting our domestic industry, And further on : w a pro the wit of They (the manufacturers) do not ask protection against the pauper labor of Europe, but they ask protection against the creation laws These are our paper currency and our internal taxation. * * It is not foreign competition that produces distress among the manufacturing interests of this country at this time. Afterward he adds: If you reduce their produ ctions (the manufac turer’) 10 a specie basis, and put them on the same footing they were on before the war, the present mies of duty would be too high. It would JoRrcely be necessary for any branch of industry to be protected to the extent of the prosent tariff law, The specie basis had been established and the manufacturers are in the condi tion that Sherman described. As in the case of President Arthur, President Cleveland's message is not more radical in ite demand for tax reduction than was Sherman's speech only six years ago The latter affirmed that free trade was impossible while we were compelled to raise $140,000000 in gold. The present tariff yields $212,000,000 in gold. of own iad .

GOING BACK ON THEMSELVES, Editor Medill of the Chicago Tribune the great northwest, continues his assanlts upon | his party’s attitude on the subject of th. tariff. In a recent issue of his paper hi speaks as follows: | “The increase in the tariff was a war ‘ax directly on the people to pay for the war and the preservation of the Union Nobody claimed that it was fur a protec tion of our home industries, Time and azuin during that period I have heard { men argne for this increase th ways and means committe, and alway: before with the promise that when the war wa over and the finances .of the country re stored to their normal condition, thie tax the people should You can, therefore, imagine Low incon upon be remitted sistent these hoary-head d monopolists appear wheo they rise up to day and op pose a reduction of the tariff as danger.

Walled towns and muititndinous villages were swept away by the raging flood. In a tract of territory about 30 miles sqnare, 1500 villages were sub. merged. Accounts necessarily differ as to the mumber of persons drowned. A cor respondent to the Times, writing from Pekin, thinks it can hardly be less than one million, and probably is not so high as two. Still, he admits that the Euro pean in Pekin, who by his relations with the Chinese Government is in a position to be hetter informed than aby one else, has putthe number atseven millions.” lp Over 1000 coke ovens at Scotdale, Pa have shut dowa, the alleged canse being want of orders By this 2000 hands are hrown but +f employment. nny — oR a DADETH, uous 62 {/, i ‘HONORING LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY ering of Prominent Republicans.
