Mr. Blaine lias writ ten a letter to the
chairman of the Republican National
committee, in which lie declines to al
low his name to go before the Minne
apolis convention as a candidate for
the presidency. Following is the full
text of tile letter: “I am not a candi
date for the presidency, and my name
will not go before the Republican Na
tional convention for the nomination.
2 make this announcement in due sea
son. To those w ho have tendered me
tin ir support I owe sincere thanks, and
am most grateful for their confidence.
They will, I am sure, make an earnest
effort in the approaching contest, which
is rendered vspecially important by
reason of the industrial and financial
policies of the government being at
•stake. The popular decision on these
issues is of great moment and will be of
far reaching consequence.” There are
several reasons for this action on the
part of the Maine statesman. He is
s igacious enough to realize that, the
Republican party has a very slight
chance of success in the coming elec
tion, and he does not desire to brave
the lmmiliatiail of a second defeat for
the high office which lias been the ob
ject of bis life-long ambition. It is
not at all likely Mr. Blaine would have
declined if his far-seeing judgment had
not w hispered the impossibility of at
taining the prize. Again, it is re
ported Mr. Blaine's health is extremely
precarious. It is an open secret that
very little of the diplomatic correspon
dence attributed to his pen really em
anated from him. Notwithstanding
the strenuous efforts of his family and
friends to conceal the fact, it is known
that the secretary is a very sick man,
w ho is utterly unable to shoulder the
work of a presidential campaign.
Fuither, Mr. Blaine realizes that his
candidacy would involve a campaign
of personalities from which he may
well shrink. The manner in which his
name and, worse still, the name of his
wife were dragged into the last cam
paign iaenough to deter him from haz
arding a repetition. Mr. Blaine was
entirely to blame for this, and the
poetical justice of the result is obvious.
He was approached by members of his
pally who laid before him their plans
of attack upon the personal character
and conduct of Mr. Cleveland, and he
must have known—there is no doubt
of his knowledge- -that the grounds of
these attacks wero untenable, based
upon fabrics of falsehood from begin
ning to end. Mr. Blaine could have
prevented this by a word, but he re
fused to utter that word. On the con
trary. he approved of this ghoulish
means of warfare, and the battle
opened upon these hues. The initia
tive was taken by the republicans and
Mr. Blaine and his henchmen chuckled
with delight as one foul slander after
another was hurled against his oppon
ent. But Mr. Blaine's past life was
found to have been not blameless, and
the most cruel stories were circulated
concerning his wife. The acrimony in
creased as the campaign advanced, and
Mr. Blaine was submerged in a torrent
of slander and vituperation which he
himself had invoked. That the stories
were exaggerated there is no doubt;
but he could not stand uptunder a ven
tilation of ids personal record, and in
a large measure he is indebted to this
for his for Ids foimer defeat. That he
has since acknowledged ins error—we
might say crime—and repented ('fit in
the bitterness of his heart does not
condone his offense or mitigate the evil
which lie inflicted upon the defenseless
females of his family. However much
the leaders of the democracy might
deprecate this means of warfare and
endeavor to eliminate these stories
from the canvass, Mr. Blaine realizes
that they would be revived, and he re
fuses to subject himself and family to
the humiliation of a repetition. Per
haps this fact, more than any oilier,
influenced him to indite the letter pub
lished above. lie knows he could have
secured the nomination for the asking,
or even without asking, but considera
tion for the private character of his
family prompted him to abandon the
contest. This lesson should be taken
to heart by all public men.
As the opposition to Mr. Hill itl
creases, the democracy naturally ap
proaches closer to Mr. Cleveland. Now
that the most formidable factor of the
opposition has been removed, demo
crats w ill become even more confident
of success. As we have taken occasion
to suggest in a previous issue, Cleve
land is t lie logical earn! idate of his party.
Should the complications in New York
increase to the extent of rendering it
ini|>olitic to select a standard-bearer
from that state, the party will likely go
to the West for a candidate, in which
case Governor Boies of low a becomes
the most interesting figuie. Boies and
Bussell would be a winning ticket.
Mr. David Bennett Hill, we repeat, is
not to lie considered.
Mu. Blaine’s letter announcing his
unqualified withdrawal from the con
test for the republican nomination for
president struck Brer t^iay and Brer
Foster with a dull thud. Their oppo
sition to Harruon was of an unrecon
citable variety, and there is no man
whom they can pit against him with
any show of success since the Maine
statesman is out of the range of possi
bilities. These two worthies are out
of ajob.
Tiie Nashville American is not a
Ilill organ. It even does not hesitate
to speak lightly of that' great states
man. A reoent editorial in that paper
concludes as follows:
If we have to ‘-eat crow" we shall do
it with as good grace as possible. We
have had t" swallow some very nause
ous dishes in our time, and may do so
again;hut we do not believe we shall
ever have to do anything so revolting
as to vote for David H. Hill.
This is a hard shot to come from one
of the staidest and most conservative
democratic journals of the country,
and indicates a disposition on the part
of the respectable element of the par
ty to revolt against Tammany dicta
tion. Hut even Tammany is prefera
ble to forcebillism, and if it is demon
strated that only Tammany stands be
tween the South and that hideous
measure, the American may as well
begin expanding its organs of degluti
tion. Hro. Neal of the Helena World
also cannot refrain from digging Hill
in the ribs. It says:
Whatever Hill’s admirers mav say of
him, there is one fact they persistent
ly overlook. The Democratic party of
the United State is no one man party
and no one man will ever own and
contro it. Mr. Hill is making desper
ate efforts to do both, and is only earn
ing the contempt of the best element
of his party.
The Times would regret to see Hill
nominated. It does not believe he will
he nominated. If nominated, it does
j not believe ho could be elected. That
lie is a shrewd and successful political
| trickster is all that can be said of him.
j He is not a statesman even in the
! most contracted degree, and his nomi
nation would result in the utter route
of the democratic cohorts next Novem
ber. __
Tiie people of the entire state will
mourn the death of Mrs. A. K. Win
lield, which occurred in Little liock at
o:40 o’clock "Saturday morning, the 6th
inst. The Little Rock Gazette of Sun
day says of the sad event:
Her illness had not been regarded as
serious until a few days since, when
her condition became quite critical,
and she continued to grow worse, grad
ually sinking, until she passed peace
fully away, surrounded by many dear
and kind friends. Mrs. Winlield was
well known and highly respected in
this city, where she passed many
years. She was the wife of the late
lamented Rev. A. It. Winlield, for
many years pastor of the First Metho
dist church, South.
She was born in Virginia in 1830,
and came to Little Rock forty years
ago. lieing a woman of high and no
ble Christian spirit, she endeared her
self to all w ith whom she came into
contact. She Raves a sou. Mr. Edwin
Winlield, the only surviving member
of the family, and a legion of friends
to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Winlield had many friends in
Forrest City who join in the universal
sorrow at her death. Mrs. M. E. Win
field of this city is a sister-in-law of
the saintly woman who has just passed
to her reward, and to her and all the
sorrowing relatives The Times ex
tends sympathy.
lino. lli.AGEUL'RN of the Free South
has evidently been attending the
theaters in Little Hock, and must have
suffered in the flesh like the balance of
us. We endorse his protest against the
lack of consideration displayed by al
leged well-bred women in this particu
lar. The Free South hits them this
well-deserved whack:
A Kansas man, who was given a
seat in a theatre directly behind two
women who wore hats as big as barn
doors, asked to have his money re
tm ned to him because he could not see
the actors on the stage on account of
the women’s egregious and disgraceful
head-gear. 11 is request was refused,
and he instituted suit. We hope he
will win. There is no reason why his
money should not have beeu refunded,
any more than there is why females,
claiming to lie well-bred, shduhl per
sist in the disgraceful custom of carry
ing miniature mountains on their
heads at places of public amusement.
The Augusta brass baud escaped
the vigilance of its keepers and wan
dered down to McCrory, where it sere
naded the editor of the Chronicle. The
effect upon that unfortunate quill
driver may be inferred by a perusal of
! the following notice of the visitation:
“The clear,sweet notes of the cornet,
swelling out upon the night air, ac
companied hv the soft tones of the alto
horn, together with the deep, throb
bing of the bass, interspersed with the
other instruments, all combined to
weave the witching spell that held us
all entranced. liapid. exhaustless,
deep,” their music flowed and ‘ope’d
new fountains in the human heart.’ *»
The Chronicle man was alive at
latest accounts and there appears to be
a chance of his recovery. The brass
baud is again safely housed at Augus
ta. ^
It appears some of the brethren of
the press have been a little hasty in
proclaiming candidates for office. We
expect to see others similar to the fol
lowing item from last week’s Fayette
ville Democrat:
The Democrat can state that lion.
H. A. Dinsmore w ill not he a candi
date for governor, lie has received
many flattering solicitations from
prominent democrats from a!! parts of
the state, which is very gratifying to
him, and the more so because he lias
never tried to create a sentiment in
favor of shell a candidacy.
Toe Memphis Appeal-Avalanche has j
the nerve to invite a libel suit, with
Herr Most aud Mrs. Lucy Parsons as
probable plaintiffs, by saving: “There!
are SOO bath bouses and no anarchists;
ijj J’otjo, Japan,’’ *
In justice to its readers til? Memphis
Commercial should reduce ils subscrip
tion rates or furnish better service. Its
cheap printers are doing very poor
work, ils typographical get-up being a
miserable botch. In no respect does
the paper reach its past high standard.
We very much fear the Commercial’s
“cheap” help will, in the end. prove
the costliest investment it has ever
made. Heretofore we have relied upon
the Commercial as the most accurate,
painstaking daily that readied our
table, hid for the past two weeks all
its departments have deteriorated un
til it is anything but a "joy forever.”
The announcement last week that
the Louisiana lottery people had aban
doned the idea of applying for an ex
tension of its charter appears to have
been premature. It is now alleged
they have received large consignments
of Winchester l ilies, with which it will
hack up its arguments for a new lease
of life. It should he suppressed.
Memphis suffered the most disas
trious conflagration Monday night it
has ever eperienced. About II,000,01X1

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
i Pertinent Opinion* of the Prens of Arltan
nod where.
i Lee Cc.nuty Courier: The state press
j two years ago made an earnest fight
for the repeal of tlie odious convict
lease system, hut in and the 'W’.ople’s
| wishes were ignored by the legislature.
L* t them make another effort for its
repeal.
Alma Democrat: While we would
rather have seen Mills made speaker,
I we have no stones to throw at our rep
resentative for having voted for Crisp,
lie has the same l ight to choose that
we have, and is expected to vote as lie
thinks best.
Morrilton Headlight: We deprecate
the viliitication of democrats by demo
crats. The party needs Imimony and
co-operation, witich would make it in
vincible. As Hon. Poindexter Dunn
once said; “we have no democrats
to kill.” We will need every man of
them next fall.
Arkadelphia Standard: How would
it do for Uncle Sam to offer to give
Chili to the pension brigade as a quit
claim in full of all demands, present
or prospective? The miserable little
country would be well worth capturing
on these terms, ami we could spare an
army of pension agents for the job.
Pine Bluff Commercial: In any
event Jerry Simpson is proving a thorn
in the side of the republican members
of congress, and the artistic way he oc
casionally scores them plainly shows
that he thinks as well as talks. Jerry,
yntli all his Idiosyncracies, is consider
ably in advance of the average con
gressman that Kansas has furnished
the nation.
Fayetteville Democrat: The indica
tions are that tne great Northwest will
ask no place on the state ticket unlses
j Brother Hull of the Boone Banner
should offer for secretary of state and
we hardly think lie w ill consent to un
Uergo the sacrifice. Tlie great North
west w ill, however, use her influence
toward nominating a good ticket and
| when election day comes she w ill em
i phuslze her loyalty in a way that will
be pleasing in the eyes of the democ
racy of the whole country.
Little Hock Gazette: “A 15 to 20
percent tariff for revenue only is what
the people want,” says the Baltimore
Sun (dem.j, “ami they will not sustain
tlie Democratic party party if it pro
poses to compete with the Republican
party for the support of the greedy tar
iff lords. That way lies disaster.” The
country wants just enough revenue
from imports to meet the public ex
penses not otherwise provided for, and
I it wants an equitable adjustment. If
l 20 per cent on an article be sufiicieut
I for public revenue the public does not
| want 20 per cent more added for the
benefit of “infant industries” power
ful enough to control legislation
through cleft use of corruption funds in
| presidential election years. That is
. what genuine tariff reform means.
! Hot Springs News: Alieady the
Hill papers brand the democrats of
j New York who protest against the snap
I judgment convention, as “mugwumps”
: and "sore heads.” Well now let’s sec.
| Here in Arkansas there is an an
' pounced candidate for governor who
! has been in the field for some time.
| There are several others who contem
plate entering the race, but have not
| yet done so. Suppose the State Cen
tral Committee should now issue a call
I for the state convention to meet in four
j weeks to make a nomination, when
' heretofore it has not been held before
'June. Would the frieuds of the proa
■ f>ective candidates who have nor, yet
entered the race be satisfied? Would
they not protest? Ami if so would
they be mugwumps and soreheads?
This is Meant for You.
It has been truly said that one half the
world does not know how the oilier half
lives. Comparatively few of us have per
fect health, owing to the impure condition
of our blood. But we rub along from day
to day, with scarcely a thought, unless
forced to onr attention, of the thousands
all about us who are suffering froiq gerof- i
ula, salt rheum and other serious blood
disorders, and whose agonies can only be
imagined. The marked success of Hood's
Sarsaparilla for these troubles, as shown
in our advertising columns frequently, cer
tainly stems to justify urging the use of
this excellent medicine hy all who know
that ttieir blood is disordered. Kvery
claim in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla is
fully backed up by what the medicine has
doue and is still doing, and when its pro- |
prietors urge its merits and its use upon
all who suffer from impure blood, ill great !
or small degrees, they certainly mean to
include you.

Why Not?
Blackburn'ii Free South.
The chivalry of American politics is
is just now manifested in the proposi
tion to make Henri Watterson the
democraHo nominee for tlie presidency.
Newspapers advocate him with that
zeal which characterizes a well-bred
lover in the praise of his sweetheart.
They are ardent, but strictly becom
ing; their panegyric is intense, tint
well and chastely expressed. They
make a perfect picture, and gaze with
quiet rapture on the bright ideal.
Nor should they lie blqmed for this.
In fact, the Free .South itself partakes
of the exalted and exalting enthusiasm.
The editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal is a great man. In him is em
bodied all of good that a past era con
tained, with the intellect and optimism
of our living present. The South, both
helpless and despe.iate when van
quished, needed one to give her hope
and at the same time subdue the evil
passions which internecine strife had
engendered. He, only a man of the
ranks, stepped forward to do this ser
vice for his people. lie was money
less—as poor as the humblest among
them; but his eyes gleamed with im
perishable thought, and with a heart
full of love, truth and courage, lie
seized the pen and wrote. His states
manship helped the South to see her
errors; liis practical patriotism, his in
corruptible honesty, his tenacity of
purpose, brought about an earnest en
deavor to correct them. His logic was
ever tlie logic of common sense, and in
time it told in behalf of those for
wltose benefit it was persistently used;
it created a public sentiment in the
North m favor of kindness and for
bearance toward the people of tlie
South who were so suddenly confronted
with a new order of things unparal
leled hi the history of the world, and it
brought to a halt and tempered down
that blind partisanship around him
which saw no wav out of an appalling
situation but through the dark un
real... of brltf-H force. Under the
lea 1 isliip of soCli as lie. with himself
at the head, tlie New ov’.ith lias risen
from the ashes of tlie Old, regenerate
and yet the same, neither forgetting
nor hating, but living in the eternal
present, prosperous, nationally patri
otic, a part now and forever of the in
dissoluble American Union.
He is a democrat, and a formidable
partisan when the gage of battle is
thrown down; but his blows are from
the hands of a master, and he is always
the true Amerilun citizen. A man of
letters, he honors the profession of
journalism. His humor is pleasant;
Tils wit incisive, but never cruel. Were
he to become president, least of all
men we know would modern conven
tionality circumscribe him; the lowest
could approach him without awe, and
tlie highest feel that they were in the
presence of an equal. He is a genius
whom labor has made great; lie fully
comprehends and loves tlie spirit
of our institutions, and would,
as our chief magistrate, send a
current of kindly feeling through the
popular heart of the whole land. Let
the democracy consider Henri Wattcr

A Just Judge.
Honorable F. M. Hubbard, district
judge Of the Eight judicial district of
Iowa, in passing sentence upon some
liquor dealers for violation of the pro
hibitory laws of the state, said: “While
there are greater crimes known to the
law which are punishable with great
severity, there are none which involve
more of those qualities known as des
picable meanness and audacity than
the selling of intoxicating liquors.
One can have no adequate conception
of a cataract until he has seen Niagara,
nor of the terrible fury and grandeur
of a storm in mid-ocean,until lie has
witnessed one; no one can know the
utter degradation and total depravity
to which his species can be brought un
til he looks upon the ruin caused by
your hellish traffic. You are persist
ent, defiant law-breakers, and shame
lessly boast that in defiance of the law
and moral sense of the community you
will continue in your wicked and crim
inal practices. It has therefore now
become the imperative duty of this
court to let fall upon you so heavily
the arm of the law that you shall eith
er be driven from your nefarious traffic
or ruined in your fortunes of wicked
prosperity. You have become a stench
to the nostrils of the community, and
all the good men are praying that vou
be speedilv reformed or summarily de
stroyed. By the providence of God
and the favor of this court, these
prayers shall be speedily answered by
signal and exact justice for your
crimes. And finally let me entreat you
if vou are not lost to every sentiment
of humanity, to desist from your crim
inal, vagabond traffic and betake your
selves to some honest calling for a
livelihood, that you may vet become
virtuous, useful citizens and entitled to
the respect of a Christian community.”

age of each state January 1, 1892, and
the combined railway mileage of the
world. By this table it appears that

is 385,500 miles, of which the United
Stales alone have 171.060, or 45 per
cent of the total, aud North America
186,500, or nearly one-half. Europe
has 141,000 miles, or 30,000 less thin
the United States alone; Asia, 20.0'>9;
South America, 16.000; Australia, 13,
OOOund Africa, 6000 miles.
