_ HOPE REPUBLICAN. JAMES G. BLAINE. AMERICA'S GREAT STATESMAN IS DEAD. Last Friday morning at 10 o’clock, Hon James G. Blaine died, after a relapse from which he was too weak to rally. He was a man of rare mental attainments. He took his diploma from college when barely twentyone years of age. While his teacher and fellow-pupils looked upon him as a bright young man, ho did not give to them the promise'of the brilliant mental abilities which ho showed later. For a few years ho was fascinated by business pursuits and he had the peculiar mental traits that would have enabled him to stand among the giants of his generation. He did not care for money itself, but he loved power, and lie earley realized what the power of money is. In 1863, at the age of thirty three; he was sent to congress from his district having been nominated on the first ballot and having met but feeble opposition during the canvas. Soon after Mr. Blaine was sworn in, a friend called on him at his boarding house at Washington quite late in the evening. He found Blaine at his desk, his ruddy-tinted hair so near the gas burner that it seemed as though it must be singed, a copy of the house rules before him. a volume of “Cushing’s Manual” and a report of precedents which had been established by the rulings of various speakers. Rather dry reading, isn’t it, Mr. Blaine?” said his friend. “Yes, if you read it off-hand; but the man who masters this, throwing his hand down upon the page of the book of rules, “masters the house of representatives.” In this chance remark he revealed the purpose of mastery which governed him in his actions in the House. Blaine had a quick and keen perception of the value of a bill the moment it was presented, and he was not lacking in the courage necessary to oppose what looked to him like an evil measure and Garfield used to say that when he rose to make his protest and delivered his speech his utterance was that of a man who had authority and his speech that of a mind which had reason. He was bold almost to recklessness in his speaking. He had the same impetuosity in the house, the dashing, dramatic manner which characterized Sheridan in the field, qualities which, combined with courage and magnanimity, are sure to command great popularity. His moral courage was shown many times during his public life. At one time the Mulligan letters threatened to rob him of his integrity of character. The galleries were packed when it was kriown that he would make his defense. ■ Holding the pack of letters up to view, he declared he would read them himself. This he did. Then with dramatic power, he pointed the finger of scorn at a member of the House whom he accused of withholding a t-legram, which, if made public, would have proved his innonence. Blaine, was never more superb. He conquered that House by his very magnificence of. resistance. He held himself at bay so that men cheered and the galleries resounded to, the echo with the applause of this great spectacle.' It was a courageous act, for had he failed his career would have been ruined. His first failure,came in 1876, when he failed to secure the nomination for President. But ho entered heartily into the, contest and did much to win the victory for the Republican party. But.the bitterest sting of all came in 1884, when he was defeated in an election where a change of 600 votes would have gained the victory. The alliterative blunder of Burcham had brought defeat to him in the moment of victory. Ha uttered one word of protest, almost of despair; then he took up his work again, resigned, patient, cheerful. When for the second time, he became secretary, under the present administration, his mental genius again asserted itself. He conducted the most IrillLnt diplomatic corns-

pondence, and he formulated the most important commercial policy which the government has undertaken the war, with the single exception of the resumption of specie payments. Ho turned the attention of the politicians from questions bred of the war to those of the future and gave promise of commercial prosperity between the nations of the American continent. It is probable that upon this achievement he relies mainly for his posthumous fame. And well he may, for our country' never enjoyed a more prosperous time than the present. Blaine will rank easily among the greatest statesmen that our country has produced. ■ ADS, , What makes the trader’s biz to ham?—what makes his clerks perspire?

Lend a helping hand to every enterprise that tends toward the betterment of the town. If you take advantage of your neighbor at every opportunity you will surely come to grief.—Westport Journal. ♦ * * Every railroad engineer knows that danger awaits him on every trip. He knows that on his close attention depends the safety of the helpless human lives on his train. The very nature of his duties with their dangers and responsibilities affects his character. If there is any trace of manliness in him his calling develops heroism. Look at the engineer the next time you ride and see if you do not find him looking like man upon whom you could rely in a time of danger. Less and less are accounts of railroad horrors filled with the names of passengers as victims. More and more the stories tell of the death of trainmen. Is it not time to recognize in some practical way this heroic spirit among railway men.—Cincinnati Tribune. The Word's Pair entertainment Tuesday evening at the M. E. church was well attended. A bay horse belonging to Robort Spaugh died suddenly at Philip Spaugh’s barn Tuesday. Will Carle ton surprised the people of Kansas City by going about the streets during the recent cold snap there without an overcoat and asserting that he felt comfortable. The venerable Richard Vaux astonished his Philadelphia neighbors the other day by performing,a similar feat. The five year old son of Thos. Armstrong died*at his residence two miles west of Hope Sunday morning at 3 o’clock, of brain trouble. The funeral was held at St. Louis Tuesday morning. Interment at Norristown cemetery. Rev. J. D.
