Thi passing away of James G. Blaine will recall to many minds the closing sen tences of his eulogy of Garfield, delivered before both houses of Congress ten years ago. Those sentences described the clos ing scene of Garfield's life with a perfec tion of imagery, an eloquence of diction and a pathos that have seldom been ex celled in speech or epic. "As the end drew hear," said the eulo gist, "his old craving for the sea returned. The stately mansion of power had been to him the wearisome hospital of pain,and he begged to be taken from its prison walls, from its oppressive, stifling air, from its homelessness and hopelessness. Gently, silently, the love of a great people bore the pale sufferer to the longed-for healing of the sea, to live or to die, as God should will, within sight of its heaving billows, within sound of its manifold voices. With wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to the oooling breeze he looked out wistfully upon the ocean with its changing wonders, on its far sails whitening in the morning light, on its restless waves rolling shoreward to break die beneath the noonday sunjon the red .clouds ef evening arching low to the horizon; on the serene and shining pathway of the stars. Let us think that his dying eyes read a mystic meaning Wbich only the rapt and parting soul may know. Let ns believe that in the silence of the receding world he heard the great waves breaking on a farther shore, and felt already upon his wasted brow the breath of the eternal morning.

If you want to vote for the Straight Republican ticket make an X mark in tbe space opposite the word "Re publican'' at the head of the ticket and the thing is done. If yon desire to vote for tbe Democratic tioket, straight, make the mark opposite tee w->rd "Democrat." If yon want to rote for some of the Repub lican candidates and some of tbe Demo cratic candidates, don't make any mark opposite tbe party names; but make an X mark opposite tbe name of each candidate you wish to vote for, whether in the Re publican or Democratic column; aud in that event you will only vote for thost can didates crossed. 1* tho Brie-Crawford Congressional dis triot daring the lwt campaign the candi dates were Messrs. Sibley and Flood, and the contest from the start was red hot.

They ■tamped the district together, these two candidates did, and while Flood confined his remarks to National isiue.iin an argu mentative way,Sibley made ad captandum speeches that kept the crowd in a roar. Towards the close of tho campaign Dr. Flood, in the coarse of a speech, referred to Sibley as the "rainbow candidate," al luding to the multi-colored political ele ments that bad endosed him. Thin wait Sibley's opportunity. When Flood had finished Sibley arose and said: "I accept the name of 'rainbow candidate' which Dr. Flood has placed upon me, and I consider it a good omen, for does not the - Good Book say that the Lord set a rainbow in the heavens aa a sign that there shall be no more Floodf" The laogh that followed this clever repartee spread all over the district and contributed to the Doctor's de feat. BILL NYE says that if the genins used in Maine and Kansas and lowa alone for the pnrposo of evading prohibitory laws could have been turned in the direction of useful science and invention, we coald have had in 1803 at least 80,000 people per day visiting the World's Fair on wings, and thas coming in force,also on Sundays.

Sinking Into the Earth. The inhabitants of that part of West Tennessee known as the "Earthquake Belt," aro considerably exercised over tho gradual sinking of tho lake? f rmed by the earthquake of 1811. The water level is descending without any apparent cause, although the streams that empty into some of the lakes are not aflected. This is taken as evidence that the soil at the bottom of thesu sheets of water has become seamy, from seismic action beneath, thus allow ing the water to escape into unknown ba sins below. The effects ofthe unexplained phenomenon are most apaaront in Stone lake, a beautiful body of water sitnated in Lauderdale county. The lake id about a mile long and a half a mile wide and has an average depth of twenty feet, bat so clear is it that the smallest objects can be seen on the bottom. A moro inviting place for the angler could not be found anywhere, but strange to say, while the other waters in that region aro alive with fish, no living thing has ever been seen in Stone lake, and the people contend that the water i* certain death to any creature that drinks it. The wild fowl avoid it. though they swarm in the adjoining ponds and bayous. Another peculiarity of tho uncanny water ia that anything cast into it quickly petrifies; hence the name it bears.

The Republic has lost its most distin guished citisen. Through *ll the range of iu public life his Influence has been felt, his work has been seen, his triumphs won, and his supreme ability aocepted. Party leader, orator, historian, legislator, states man, great in all these, be was greatest of all in a national career which rested solely upon the unshaken loyalty ana devotion of the great mass of voters in the Republican party. It is now sixteen years ainoo the close of General Grant's term as President fou> d Mr. Blaine the most conspicuous leader in the party which had fougnt the war,saved the rmra and was directing its destiny. There were several men, though not many, whose national services had then been greater. Thero was at least one, John Sherman, whose eventual place in history, though without bis great dominant person ality, will equal his; thero were three or four whose political sway and power, bas ed on unquestioned control ol the Republi can party in great States, was superior to his own: but no one doubted then, and no one has at any time since doubted, th U the rank and file of the Republican party, the plain people who vote its ticket, sup port its principles and elect its candidates with no hope or desire of personal reward, feltjfor Mr. Blanie a personal loyalty and regard displayed toward no other man. This love never lost. This loyalty was never shaken. It was as faithful in defeat as it was enthusiastic in victory. It vras as much at his command in private life as in public station. It was manifested in every coneeivable way and survived every possible assault and attack. Xo publio man in all our history to whom it has not fallen, as it did to Washington and Lincoln to pilot the nation through dangerous war, has ever bad a more unquestioned personal allegiance from great masses of his fallt.w citiiens,—not even Henry Clay,with whom Mr. Blaine has been constantly oompared and whom his career at many points re sembled. To the organized political force of his party he never strongly appealed, through most of his life he bad the opposition of those to whom politics was a trade, and their support at the very close of his career was due less to their personal regard for him than to their opposition to President Harrison. The Mugwump portion of the Republican party had for him as little sympathy and support as its trained and organised forces. Extremes met in a mu tual opposition to bim of elements and ic fluences on all other points opposed to each other. His personal support lay neither with those who scheme and organize in politics, nor with those who scheme with out organizing, neither with the practical men of the machine,nor witn independents but with that great body of voters on whom the safety of the Republic rests, who filled the army in the war, and who in peace must be right or all is wrong with free institutions. The support of this great mass of voters which for a quarter ot a century has beeu as plain as the sun in the heavens, is not to be lightly explained by "personal mag netism." All but an infinitesimal share of them never saw bim. It has a better ex planation and a higher reason. No leader in Congress in <-ur day or in any day so filled public eye and roused public enthusi asm by his method of debate. Tbe man ner no less tban tbe matter of his speeches when he returned to the floor from the Speaker's chair, swept all bclore bim and his audacious brilliancy completed the rout which his powerful argument began Yet more, in tbe twenty-two years since he becamo Speaker, no American of hio ' day, or any day, so frequently expressed tbe underlying belief and conviction of tbe Republican voter, taken on tbe aver age acd in tbe mass, in the city and in tbe country, through all the land from ocean to ocean,and in all stations and conditions. It was Mr. Blaine who first discovered, ten years after tbe close of tbe war, that tbe day for repressive legislation was over, and deflated by his ruling as Speaker the extreme enactments proposed for the reg ulation of Southern elections When an inevitable political reaction in 1874 suc ceeded financial panic in 1873, it was Mr Blaine who most nearly expressed tbe in- j dignation burning throughout the ranks of the Republican party at tbe return to in fluence and power In the Congress of the Union of tbe men wo had loft its halls to destroy the Government. When an at tempt, nearly successful, was made to use this indignation to give the great soldier of the war a third term in the Presinency and to violate a sound constitutional pre cedent in the interest of au unscrupulous and despotic control of tbe niacninery ol tbe Republican organization, it WM MI- Blaine, and for a season Mr. Blaine alone' who discerned that tbe great mass of tbe party was opposed to this policy, and who did his country and its constitutional rights the inestimable service of giving this cause * leadership which won its success at tbe price of bis own defeat. After this great service Mr. Blaine be longed less to him»«lf tban to bis party and to tbe nation. No nomination in our bis tory has been more distinctly tbe work and command of tbe average voter tban his in 1884. It had its fatal opposition in biß o*n party; but if ever the great mass of honest and candid voters in tbe Republican part} passed their deliberate verdict of trutb aud confidence on tbe character of a public man, it was done in their command for his nomination, aud in tho vote they gave bim after a canvass of slander and defamation matched indeed in our annals, but match ed only in tbe assaults on tbe motives ot Washington and on the patriotism of Lincoln. Even defeat left Mr. Blaine no less tbe leading Anierioan of his day. There grew through the nation, independent of party lines and of sectional difference,a profound appreciation and admiration of the man who, as every great question appoared, voiced unerringly the sentiment and con viction of great masses of bis country, who stiid what tbey thought and who thought what tbey said. In 1888, as before,be again expressed the dominant sentiment of bis party, and sounded the keynote of its cam paign; but a greater work, and one trans cending party lines, was now shaping itself in bis masterful bauds. For twelve yearn, from the Pan-Ameri cin Conference, which Garfield approved and his successor hesitated to support, to the reciproeity treaties of the past two years, Jaine* G. Blaine was the first of liv ing Americans to see the dnty and respon sibility which lay upon Ibis land to assume the leadership of the continent, to draw closer the bonds ot union among its na lions, to Kopprens war by repairing the in ternational arbitration of differences, and to promote mutual trade by mutual conces sion*. ' Ten year* have bat Itgnu this work. In nrging it Mr. Blaine was in advance at many points oi bis day. bis parly.and even bis country. Dot bere again lie voiced the dumb, inarticulate desire of millions o! Americans who long unconsciously, but nefortheless sincerely, to see this great country exercising a supreme and peaceful influence among the nation* of this hemis phere. History will see much to record in Mr. Blaine'* career. Hi* matchless per (tonal influence, bis eloquence, his political prescience,hi* power both to lead hi* party und to know what leadership his party do sireJ, will all alike receive recognition. The history which he added to the liters ture of bi* country insure* bin) a permit nont place in that brict list ol those who en joyed the double power to make history and to write it. There will be Borrow for bis disappointment* and a clear appreben siou that his best friends were not tbosr wbo clouded hi* last months with lalsu and interested advice. Bnt beyond all and over all will be praise and appreciation <>f the great policy wlrieh the future will sco triuuiwbaut, under which Uiw country ju«t ly claims the dutin« anil responsibilities of its power and position among the nation* ot the Wert ie * peaceful and nobroken onion of common protection, comm on in terest*, harm on ion* relations, and a recip rocal trade between all American land*. The man «u greater even than bis work. Looming np behind the record, gleaming through all the achievements, was the su preme personality of the generation There was the overmastering figure wnora the thousands of his numbered friends lov ed to cherish and the millions of bis un counted admirers loved to picture, elements entered into that peerless indi viduality His unrivaled charm of man ner, his irrestible fascination, his wonder ful fertility and facility, hi* inexhaustible ■tore of antidote and illustration, his mar velous memory that never miised a lace or a name or an association, his nneqaalled aia.-tery ot biographical and historical de ail tor instant and universal service, his quick pfcrc«?ption anil instantaneous action nis controversial dexterity, his genius of political divination, his intense spirit of \inericanism and patriotism which em bodied and typified the gennine impulse of me American people—nil these qualities nlt-nded and made up the winsome man and the matchless leader. And so now and on the morrow of his death, the plaudits of history and the praise of posterity seem bnt a light and empty thing by the bier of the man who jroe* to his grave loved as no man of his day has been loved by the million. It is much to have been the leading American American, to have stood on the world's stage and played a great part in the affairs f men.—it is more, a thousand times more, that in lonelv farm houses, in solitary vil ages, in great cities, in all places where Americans live and work, the news of his death will bring a strange sorrow to men that their life as citizens and their action as Republicans will seem the emptier be i snso "Blaine is dead." — Phit'a.

England, France and Germany lave long recognized the commercial and strategic value of Hawii. The dethroned Queen, who sought to overthrow the Hawaiian Constitution and substitute au tocratic power for the limited monarchy wbich has existed in the little island king dom, is said to have be«n particularly sus ceptible to British influence. It is abso lutely certain that failure on the part of the United States to taka advantage of the action of the Hawaiians will be followed by the seizure of the islands by some European power.

McKinuey, a river man, testified that Beatty asked hitn to g<> to Homestead and administer croton-oil. Another witness said that Beatty told him he gave some of the powders to a dog in a brwl of milk, and the dog died. The pros ecution rested Friday morning, and that afternoon the defense, which was similar to the defense of Dempsey, began. On Friday a wairant was issued for "Big Jack"' Cole, a cook formerly employed at Wilson'srestanrant in the Diamond market Cole is charged with felonious assault and battery in causing poison to be administer ed to the non-union men in the Homestead mill. The information roads almost exact ly like those made against Dempsey and Beatty. The warrant was sworn out under the di rection of District Attorney Clarence Bur leigh. Cole was wanted as a witness in both the Dempsey and tho Beatty trials, and has been regularly subpoenaed. Th«- Commonwealth wanted him to corroborate Gallagher's story about Beatty's trip to Cincinnati after two cooks, and other 1> lints in the evidence. Before Beatty left Cole gave him a letter of introduction to t *'o men whom he thought could bo hired to do the work. After Beatty hired Gilfoil and Coleman be sent a couple of telegrams to Cole, and copies of them are in the hands of the prosecution. During the Dempsey trial Cole was al most constantly iu the court ro«im until he was wanted as a witness- Then he disap peared, but was found at his usual place as soon as the case was closed. He was again subpoenaed in the Beatty trial, anil disappeared again. Detectives bave been searching for him ever siuce, but bave been unable to locate him.

Tbe names of the persons mentioned in the letters were concealed by the Court. On Wednesday the case was argued, and next day it went to tbe jury. Jack Clifford's trial was expected to come next.

The popnlar jadgment of the character ot ex-President Hayes and ot his public ser vices has no donbt been injuriously affected by the circumstance that tbe rightfulness of his election to tbe Presidency was sub jected to serions question. This circum stance gave peculiar point to the bitter hostility of the opposing party, while tbe most powerful interests in hi* own. pre tending to have "made'' him, found in it a for demanding of him more than ordinary subserviency to their behests,and accused hira of ingratitude when that sub serviency was refused. But whatever opinion may be held of the true result of the Presidential election of 1870. there was not the slightest ground for believing, nor has ever any body sincerely believed, that Mr. Hayes had sought in the remotest de gree to influence tbe action of tbe Elector al Commission which declared him elected; and it must be evident to everv candid mind that when the verdict to the Elector al Oimmisson had been adopted and solemnly ratified by both Houses of Con gress, it was not only his right bat his duty as a good citizen, by accepting the Presi dency awarded to him, to give final effect to that settlement of one of the most peril ous contests in the history of this republic. He could not do otherwise, and every patriotic citizen, of whatever political party, having the true interests of the country sincerely at heart, would have act ed as he did. His qualities as a man and his conduct as a public servant should therefore be judged upon their own merit., independently of the doubt which hucg over bis election to the Presidency. It may be said without exaggeration that public station in this country has seldom if ever been graced by a man of purer character, or higher and more con scientious conception of duty, and more natriotic motives. His career tn private as well as in public life was throughout that of a model citizen. He was born in Ohio in 18°2 Having received a liberal educa tion "he devoted nimselt to tbe practice ot the law and won tbe general esteem of the profession and of the public by the solidity of his abilities and acquirements, and a conscientious preformance of his duties He sought and found congenial companion ship among persons of culture and high character. His principles and sympathies maoe him an antislavery man. When, after the out break of the secession move menta, the national government called for defenders, he promptly abandoned his prosperous professional practice and joine.l the array. The wounds he receivi d attest ed his vaior. By "Kallant and meritorious conduct iu battle," and by giving evidence of the capability of leadership, he earned tor himself the rank and command of a general officer, and a place among tbe bravest and ablest of our citizen soldiers. In 1864 a nomination for the Congress sought biin, and hu was elected while serv tug iu the field. In 1867 he was nominat ed for the Governorship of Ohio, and elect ed to that office twice in succession, with iua}«>ritien. on© turning upon the reconstruction measures, and tbe other upon the financial honesty of the national government, of which he became one of the sturdiest and most unoompro mising champions. His administrations as Governor were without flaw in point of rectitude and good policy. Nominated for Congress ia 1872, he was defeated by a strong combination of opposing forces, and then retired from public life, as he expect ed, forever. But he was called forth dgaiu by' a nomination for the Governorship in 1875, which he reluctantly accepted, and then he led in that famous campaign for ••souud money," the victorious issue of of which sealed the final defeat ot the papor-ir.flation movement. It was not surprising that the modest wan whom public place had so often sought, instead of his seeking it, who by meritorious service had to such ft degree won the esteem and confidence of his fel lowcilizens without making enomies, and who had become so conspicuous a repre sentative of public integrity and souud i olicies, should have been selected by_ the National Republican Convention of 1876 as a sate man to iead vile party —theu senou-- Iv discredited by the expo.-ure of corrupt practices under General Grant's second administration —ouce more to victory The doubtful result ot the election, and the iUu,!»rou. tnat followed and was finally settled in favor of Mr. Hayes, are well remembered President Hayes as sumed the duties of his office under cir cumstances ol unusual difficulty. Had ho been a selfish politician, or a man of no more than an ordinary measure of moral courage, he would have sought the favor of Ihe most powerful elements ol his party, that they might light hts battles for him. This he "did not do He had nothing in view but tbe great interests ol the country. In his letter ot acceptance he had, accord ing to convictions long entertained, laid great stress upon the necessity of a thorough reform of the civil service. In his inaugural address he reiterated with emphasis his determination to carry on that reform. He formed his cabinet not with a view to pb-aso the party potentates, but with a view to the successful execu tion ot the work to be done. 118 had hard ly entered tbe White Hou<e when he be gan his preparations for the withdrawal of the troop from "the States lately iu re bellion"—that great and wise measuro of pacification which relieved the Southern people ot the curse ol ro-called carpet bag rule, gave them back tbeir self-govern rneut. and became the starting point of that prosperous development which we now behold The Treasury Department at once vigorously prepared for the re sumption of specie payments and the re duction and funding ol the national debt nt a lower rate of interest. The President by executive order warned public officers against meddling with party politics and tbe levying of political assessments; com pi-titive examinations, discontinued uuder President Grant, were resumed in several of the departments in Washington and the great government offices in New York,and r-übsequently iwo of the principal and mo!,t influential officers in New York were removed on the ground that they had made their offices headquarters of political management—an act highly offensive to powerful party leaders. While the-e measures were received with favor by the intelligent patriotism of the country, they aroused the resentment of the practical politicians high and low— tbe withdrawal of the troops from '.he South, be.cause it would turn Iteßubliean into Democratic Slates; the civil service reform measures, because they curtailed the patronage domain of the member of Congress and the party magnate. Thus the opposition to the President in Congress and in tbe party councils grew steadily in strength and violence. The recommend tions made by tbe President and the beads of departments werecontemptuously tLrown aside. Even the financial measures of the administration were hampered, and a silver bill passed over the President's vote. Hut lie stood firmly by his princi ples. The South rn policy was maintain ed, the resumption of specie payments sue cessfully effected, and the financial honor of the country preserved. It is true that the practical reform of the civil service fell short ol the original programme; but con sidering that his predecessor bad abaudon ed the whole system, that President Hayes anil the heads of the departments under him had to work without any appropria tions for tbe purpose, and were at every step obstructed and assailed by a hostile Congress, it is leniarkable not that not more, bnt that so much of permanent value was accomplished. If President Hayes did not carry through a complete reform of the civil service, he certainly saved that re form Iroin utter annihilation, and gave it a new and vigorous impulse without which its subsequent progress would hardly bavo been possible And more than this; from the very day of President Hayes's advent to power that spirit of profligacy which had spread to an alarming extent in poli tical circles rapidly gave way to a high tone to conscientiousness, integrity, and honor. Even the society of the capital re ceived a new and most wficlesorae in spiration fr >m the purity and sweetness of the family life at the White House. No attentive observer could fail to bo struok by the salutary transformation. The ordinary politician has been, and probably will remain, fond of saying that the administration ol President Hayes was a political failure. But what is political success? II it consists iu the organization and the support ol a large lollowiug of beuchmau who shout tbe praises of the leader that feeds theui, or in securing the support ol Congrecs by pamperiug its members with patronage, theu President Haves certainly failed. But il it consists in Revising and carrying through measures and policies salutary to the country, then the adiniuistrutiou ol Preeident Hayes, which sowed new sends of peace, pat riutiiti), and prosperity iu "tbe States late ly iti rebellion," which carried through tbe resumption of specie payments, which gave new and vigorous vitality to ihe then moribund reform of the civil service, which ioluftd.o atrw »yuit of purity cua •eienoe Into onr political life, Kid which then fw followed by • Tietory of it# party mainly owing to tbe jvaeral contentment with the recent conduct ot the g .rern ment, has been the most successful of all Republican administration* excepting only that of Abraham Lincoln. That President Haves might have accomplished still more had he possessed a less optimistic and a m«>re combative temperament in true. But no fair minded man will compare that which he did accomplish with the obstacles he had to overcome without recognizing in him state-man lilte good sense as well as firmness of purpose of a high order Nor conld anv one knowing him fail to admire and to love the genuineness of bis patriot ism. the wann generosity of bis heart, and the thorough noblenr-ss of hi J character. After the expiration of his term as President he gave his li'e to philanthropic work. He died atter a short illness, and was laid into his grave on the 20th of January. THE French Deputies voted their con fidence in the new Cabinet by a majority of 121 last Thursday; and the Republic is considered safe for the present. The Orphan School Scandal At Harrisburg last week the failure of the Committee appointed to investigate 'he Orphan Schools to make a report, was generally commented upon. The committee consisted originally ot Senators Grady and Lloyd, Kepresontative-i Haker—now a senator—Nesbit of Alle gheny and Gillan of Franklin. Mr. Baker iras made chairman of the committee, and iir. Gillan, becoming dissatisfied at the manner in which the investigation wa« conducted, resigned, and Mr. Flad of Gaston was placed on the committee in his stead. Before resigning Mr. Gillan declared that when be endeavored to insert the pro IK* aad asked questions of any moment ob jections were made by the syndicate's attorney, Gen. J. P. S. Gubin, now presi dent pro tern, of the senate, and the ob jections were always sustained by the chair in an and a majority of tbe committee. The charges are that the com aittse has not tried to learn the truth in regard to ttie illtreatmout of the soldiers' orphans and tho vast sums of money made by the Wright syndicate from tao stat" appro priations, though it has itself exhausted $4,000 of the $.1,000 appropriated for the purposes of the investigation. Inquiry at the auditor-general's department elicted tbe fact that $2,500 bad been drawn before tbe incoming of Gen. Gregg and $1,500 has been drawn since Gen. Gregg took charge of the department. The ooiumittee has held six meetings and it is claimed these have thus cost nearly S7OO each. No item ized statement has yet beon filed because it is customary iu these ca->os for tbe chair man of commitees to draw tbeir warrants until the whole amount of the apptopri a tion is exhausted or the investigation ends. After this the cha>rmau files an itemized statement of expenses of the committee. It is further charged that when the com mittee met iu Harrisburg the syndicate de clined to produce its books on the ground they were too large and bulky to convey from Mercer.

Capta n Ricketts is a rather short, slight man, a. 1. iu boyhood w»«known as "Runt Rteket' , his elder brothers being all men if moie than ordinary stature But his battery blazed a fiery pathway on many a battlefield. At Gettysbuig 11 stood on East Cemetery Hill, aud when tbe Louisiana Tigers charged up to th summit ami turned yn.- of their own gu - upon the men, there was a hand-to-tianit fight unequaled for fierceness in ino.le'ti warfare. Revoivers.bavoiict.-.hand shovels, pickaxes and stoues Were weapons used iu ttiu struggle, and for time pandemonium seemed on tja' parti* uiar spot of earth. Just as as tbe Tigers reached tiie ere t of the bill an artillery 1.1 in, pale and trein • ling with fear, said to Rickette: "Captan. I'm awfnl sick. May Igo to the rear''" Ricketts knew th it il i-ua started to rui. a panic might follow. Drawing his r«vo, ver, he pointed at tbe fellow s head au (aid: "If you don t take your place.

I was in the charge on Rickett's battery at Uetty sburg." "Well," said the gei tlt-man who bail in troduced tbem, "this is the commander of that battery." The Southerner stepped back and sur veyed "Runt" Rickets Iroui bead to foot.
