The 10,000 miles journey of the Presidential party ended on Friday May 15tli, by the return of the special train bearing the President, Postmaster-General W anamaker, Secretary of Agricultural Rusk, and their fatnali69 and attendants to Washington. The journey from the Atlantic, to the Pacific and from the Gulf to the border of British Columbia was made without a mishap and on schedule time to a minute. A wonderful achievement in railroading. The President was received at every point visited with the heartiest expressions of welcome. He made 110 short speeches during the journey, and they were of such an admirable character in tone and sentiment as to win praises from all who heard or have read them. The President during his jouring has won golden opinions of his capacity as a wise and judicious Executive. His speeches in comparison with those made by President Cleveland on his Southern tour are in happy contrast. While Mr. Harrison avoided all reference to the late re bellion and treated all as part and parcel of a united and happy coun try Mr. Cleveland stirred the politi cal aniniosities of the South by ap peals to their prejudices growing out of the war. ; Mr., Cleveland''* IliiitKijflit, In his speech at Buffalo Mr. Cleveland said : "I believe the most threatening danger which to-day stands in the way of the safety of our government aud the happiness of our people is reckless and wicked extravagence in our public expenditures." It is a pity he did not think so when he was President. At that time he signed appropriation bills with a reckless hand. Here is a compari son : Garfield-Arthur.

In view of these cold hard facts the less Mr. Cleveland prates about "economy" the better.—Rochester Post-Express (Ind.) New OrlumiN Italian* Warned. NEW Oiti.EANS, May 17.—Henry Peters, a stevedore, who was un loading a vessel, made affidavit that the Provenzano Brothers and others of Italians congregated around the warf where he was unloading a vessel, intimidated his laborers, who were mainly negroes, frightening some ot them off and threatening to throw him, Peters, into the river. The Mayor summoned theProven zanos before him and warned them lo desist from their lawlessness. "I am quite tired of this,"he said, "and this thing must stop now and for all time. I know well enough fhat you have long been at the head of the disturbing element here that has been a menace to the peace of tiiis community. You know as well lis I do the insidious means by which you seek to intimidate and frighten pi ople. You may not do your work openly but you find another per haps it belter way. This reign of terror must stop and if there is a Tay possible to do it, it will stop. Ji >w you have been warned." teiiti'.ic of Maine. Nothing could more clearly Miow the aflectionate regard in which Mr. IJlaine is held by his countrymen than the universal expessions of sor rowful regret with which the an nouncement of his present illness lia9 been received. Few statesmen of any country have commanded so much love as Mr. Blaine has done, llis position in American politics is almost unique. Bismarck, in the day of his great power, was feared by many of his countrymen, even by those who honored him for his remarkable abilities and for the benefits he conferred upon his coun try ; Gladstone, the "grand old man" of British statesmanship, is loved and admired by a formidable party, but bv another party he is denounced and condemned. Mr. Blaine has no enemies to-day. He has politi cal opponents, but they oppose only bis political sentiments, among the multitudes of his countrymen who delight to do him honor they are not the least. As the premier of the present Administration Mr. Blaine has won golden opinions from all sorts of people, Democrats unit ing with Republicans in praising the fine dignity, the exceptional ability* the wisdom, courtesy, courage and force with which, in international and national questions of the gravest and most difficult character, he has maintained the honor and prestige of his country aud elevated the character of American diplomacy. Mr. Blaine has grown year alter year, in all the qualities which de note the great statesman and patriot. lie has similarly grown in the affection, esteem and admira tion of hie countrymen, and at pres ent he stands indisputably the head and front of political leadership. It is the rearing of men of his remark able character, ability and patriotism that confers honor and dignity upon their country. It is not believed that Mr. Blaino's illness is of a serious nature or that it will have any more than tempor ary inconvenience ; it appears to be simply the result of unceasing de votion to the exacting and onerous duties of his office, which has seldom had for its consideration so many great matters of international con cern. If the Secretary of State had had nothing more to do than to de vise and foimulate his brilliant and effective policy of Reciprocity, ho would still have had a giant's load on his shoulders, but that policy, important aud valuable as it is, has been one of the burdens of the Stale which he has taken up and carried with such assurd success. The universal feeling is that Mr. Blaine's illnes9 will pass away, and that the Secretary will take that needed rest from labor which will give him again his wonted physical vigor Mr. Blaine is one of the chief props and stays of his country, as well as one of the most honored and beloved of American statesmen. —Philadelphia Ledger, IIIL LSGRO VE ITEMS.
