BLAINE ANU TUB PRESIDENCY.
A reading, of newspapers shows
that Blaine's friends are .numerous,
and that they have no idea of wil-
. . 0. I-
liogly giving him op as a candidate.
The Blaine Club, of Columbus, Ohio,
Sherman's State, are to have a mon
ster demonstration and a Blaine
Banquet. The Bellefontaine Repub
liean has run up Blaine's name at the
masthead. The West Virginia
League are thoroughly enthusiastic,
arid when Blaine's name i was men
tioped it was reoeived with the most
frantic applause. It maj: be, how
ever, that Blaine hesitates to be a
candidate again because he really
believes his own election is more
than doubtful and he knows how
his very ugly record will be exposed
afresh and perhaps other hidden and
disreputable transactions be brought
to light. This supposition seems to
be authorized by a special from'
Washington to the New York
Times. The correspondent says
that "a Republican of the highest
personal character and a J gentleman
of national reputation," said to him:
"Mr. Blaine could not attempt to face
the trial of another campaign. He would
be confronted not only with all the old
charges against him that made him objec
tionable to a great many strong Republi
cans, but he would be compelled to meet'
others still more damaging, and 'then, as if
to give point to this grave suggestion, tha
gentleman added: 'Mr. Blaine is indebted
to Mr. Cleveland, his opponent in the fight
of 1S84, for the suppression of charges af
fecting his personal character; that he knew
could not be kept back during another
campaign. It was for this reason, and in
order to avoid the disagreeable, and per
haps fatal, effect which these publications
might have, that he concluded to refuse to
subject himself to a trying ordeal. ' What
the natnre of these surinresserf chftrcpa U it
1 is unnecessary and perhaps useless to in-
ijuiic. ii li, uepenueu upon me rresiaent
whether they becamepubhc property it . is
safe to say that the Democrats would never
be able to use them." j -
Of course with such a candidate as
j
Blaine, the campaign would necessa
rily partake of a personal sort, for
his ugly record would
kept prominent. Without bitteaver
it is the truth to say that Blaine and
0 1 ' .... . . ' -J
onerman are politicians or that low
1 ' -j
type that only revolutions produce.
The great war soawned tham And
otners or tne same Dad kind. A cam
paign with either of these men as a
candidate, would be j necessarily
fierce and personal. We would much
rather have Harrison, or j Hawleyl or
Gresham, or Allison, nominated as
the campaign wonld be more decent
and would tarn more upon the merits
of pbrties. Of all men mentioned as
possible candidates, the most objec
tionable to tho Southern people
would be Sheridan, and we are glad
j;iv;'-:- ' . HH3HS" WAGES. ;
1 The great delusion of this decade
is the high wage ideathat taxing
everybody for the benefit of a few is
the certain way to make the wages
of laborers high. Only last week we
saw this in a Republican paper; that'
wages were foifr times higher in the
United States than in England, and
that wages on the Continent were
higher than in England. That was
ignorance run mad, or falsehood
tramping in its seven-league boots.
It is not true that wages are higher
in the United States in all things
than in England. When we con
sider the purchasing power of a dol
lar, and the fact that a laborer in this
country does a graat deal more work
than an English laborer, we have a
key to the solution of the question of
high wages. Ia some instances wages
are higher in our country than in
England, but not always and by a
good deal. Ia the past the Stab has
presented many facts and ' illustra
trations along this. line. We find
some very instructive and conclusive
facts in an editorial in the Boston
Post. We will show that there is no
little unfounded assumption in the

" WASHOtGTOH, Feb. 20. The Secretary
of War to' day returned to the House his
answer to . the - Bou telle resolution calling
for information as to whether - the flags
captured by the United States have been
removed from the place where they were
displayed, and concealed, and if sa by
what authority and for what purpose; and,
further, as to what propositions have been
made by the government officials for the
surrender of these flags, and whether it is
true that a portion of them were actually
surrendered to persons having no right to
tneir possession, as a preliminary tne sec
retary gives a brjet. history of the flags,
showing that from 1863 until the close of
the war. United States Generals in the field
sent to the War Department the flags that
were captured by their troops. It is also
probable, h says, that some flags of this
description reached the Department through
other channels. Of the . whole number
captured and deposited with the Depart
ment, 236 were United States flags, origi
nally captured by the Confederates, and
recaptured from themrand 541 were Con
federate flags taken by United States
troops, making a total of 780 in
the custody of the Department. The
Secretary reviews exhaustively the legis
lat on upon this subject, shewing that since
1874 there have been no statutes requiring
public exhibition of such flags, and then
in order, as ho says, that notbing may be
omitted from his answer to the resolution,
be summarizes his replies to tbe specific in
quiries contained in said resolution I "In
reply to tbe first clause ofLthe resolves. 1
have the honor to say that it is not true
that flags, standards and colors captured
from enemies of the United States have
been removed from the place where they
were displayed, as required by law, and
have since been concealed from the public.
Flags, standards and colors captured -prior
to the war of the rebellion were displayed,
so far as can be ascertained, in the Military
Academy at West Point, as heretofore re
cited, and have not since been removed or
concealed from the public. Flags, stand
ards and colors captured during tbe war
of the rebellion were never displayed

honor to say that it is not true : that
the flags referred to and included in

have been delivered up or surrendered
either before or after said countermanding

answered thai a portion of said flags have
been surrendered and delivered as follows:
Of Confederate flags nine were given up
on tbe written order of Mr. Stanton, and
twelve others were issued during his ad
ministration of the War Department, and
presumably by his authority. At : least
tifty more Confederate flags were lent by
Mr. Stanton to individuals, or associations,
who subsequently returned them. One
Confederate flag was lent by Gen. Benet,
acting Secretary of War, to Gen. Clark,
and nas not been returned.
Washington, Feb. 20 Tha Senate in
secret session to-day listened to the reading
of the fishery treaty, and then for an hour
there ensued nn earnest but unsuccessful
struggle to make it public. Mr Frye's
motion was gallantly supported, and would
have been successful but for the discovery
thai the Senate is powerless, in the face of
its own rules, to do what it desires.
The provisions of tbe document are said
to be very much as the papers have already
stated them. That which seems to have
fastened itself most finally upon the Sena
torial memory a& the hasty reading was
progressing, is the. provision that the priv
ilege of going into Canadian ports to buy
bait shall be withheld by Cadada, unless the
United States Congress passes laws for ihe
free admission of, fish and oil. The docu
ment is commented upon by one side as
practically conceding tbat Canadian con
tention has been correct as to the interpre
tation of the treaty of 1818. Upon the
other hand, Senators friendly to the admin
istration express the opinion tbat all ha
been accomplished by the department tha
could be expected, and tbat the quarrel
which nas lasted over half a century, ha
thus been brought to an end. j
Washdigtoh, Feb. 20. Delegations
from western cities which are striving to
secure tbe honor of entertaining the next
National Democratic Convention, are all
hard at work to-night. The three princi
pal delegations, namely those from Chi
cago, St. Louis and San Francisco, have
their headquarters in Willard's Hotel, and
they all seem to be confident of success.
They unite in declaring that the Conven
tion will go West, and assert that the Cin
cinnati people realize that their fight is al
most a hopeless one. Of the three delega
tions that from San FranciBco is. the most
enthusiastic, and it is admitted by the St.
Louis delegation that to night the talk tuns
toward the Pacific coast. They assert,
however, that this is due to extravagant
promises made by the San Francisco repre
sentatives. The Chicago delegates are the
quietest, but their plan of campaign is well
defined, and each committee does what is
allotted to it, and reports to headquarters
without making much noisB. Naturally, the
rival delegations are unwilling to talk, ex
cept in a general way, of their expectations.
When asked if they would have eighteen
votes,. Mr. Tarpey, the San Francisco rep
resentative. said, "yes. we will have more
than that." The St. Louis people express
great confidence, and Chicago is evidently
feared by the others.
From the best information obtainable it
would seem that San Francisco expects the
support of all the country west of the
Rocky Mountains and a number of votes
from the South. It is conceded that Chi
cago will have the votes of New England,
with the exception of Prince, of Massachu
setts, who ia in favor of St I Louis. This,
together with the Northwest and some sup
port from the central section, will give tbe
Lake City a good showing at the start,
and her representatives expect to obtain
enough votes to secure the Convention af
ter a ballot or two of "respect' has been
given by the committeemen to their re
spective cities. The strength of St. Louis
will come from the Mississippi Valley and
tbe southwestern States and territories, and
it is said that some of the Southern 8tates
favor ht. Louis as the second choice, after
San Francisco. i

" Wassthgton, Feb. 20 The Inter-State
Commerce Commission to-day filed an
opinion by Chairman Cooley, in the case
vof the complaint of the committee on trans
portation of. the Danville, Va., Chamber
of Commerce.-; against the Richmond &
Danville Railroad Company. The com-;
plaint contained a number j of charges;
the chief of which were that it made ex
cessive charges: that it discriminated in its'
charges against merchants and traders of
Richmond, Lynchburg and Charlottesville, '
and especially tbat it discriminated by re
fusing to give to merchants and traders at
Danville, in respect to merchandise pur
chased by them at Richmond and other
points, through rates from tbe point of pur
chase to the point at which they might
make sale ' thereof. Elaborate proofs: were
taken in the case. andthnntnmiaainn dnH.
a number of instances of excessive charges
to be made out. In respect to such charges
the parties paying them were hot represent
ed in the case before the Commission, but
it was shown tbat so' far as the rates were
found to be erroneous, they had been cor
rected, and if the overcharges' had not been
repaid the party in each case was entitled
to have repayment on demand. Through
rates to Danville from both directions were
complained of. but the Commission holds
that in so far as rates are made by other
companies, without participation of the
defendant, the defendant does not charge
itself with any responsibility therefor, by
merely giving rates in addition to its own
to any one who asks for through rates.)
The Commission also holds: that the Jus
tice of the local rates cannot be determined
by a comparison of them with the rates
charged on long through linei, upon which
freights are carried for long distances in
great volume and at relatively very much
less expense than like freights can be car
ried when moved in less quantities aad for
comparatively short distances, j
' To present the ground for tha charge of
discrimination in favor of Richmond, as
against Danville, an illustrative instance
may oe taken. The Danville merchant
claimed that in case he bought merchandise
in Richmond and shipped it to Danville,
and then sold it to Goldsboro and ' other
points further on, and shipped it to such
points, he should have a through rate j on.
tbe merchandise from Richmond toHhe
point of final destination, and unless he Was
given such through rate lie was at a disad
vantage in competition with Richmond
merchants in msking, sales to tha same
points. The railroad company concede
the through rate when the Danville mer
chant makes his shipment i direct from
Richmond to his place of sale, but refuses
to do so when the shipment is first to Dan
ville and then a sec md shipment made to
the point of sale. The Commission holds
that in this case the supposed railroad can
not be compelled to give the same rate for
two shipments that it gives when there is
one only; the fact that its refusing to do so
operates in favor of one town, lor adversely
to another, does not charge it j with unjust
discrimination; discrimination must consist
in doing for or allowing to one party or
place what is denied to another; it cannot
be predicated of action which in itself is
impartial. 1

Moust Vernon, III., February 20.
The cyclone that visited this city yesterday
afternoon at 5 o'clock destroyed nearly
three huadred residences and placed of
business, and unhoused 1,200 to 1,500 peo
ple. Ia the fall of the walls many persona
were buried under the debris, and thirty
five were killed, while twice as many more
were injured, eight or ten so' seriously that
their recovery is despaired of. Preceding
the destructive win'd was a heavy fall of
rain for half an hour, .which drove all the
inhabitants to shelter. This was followed
by a slight hail storm, accompanied with
lightning, and then the furious blow, which
formed into a funnel-shaped cyclone, struck
the southwestern portion of the city, un
roofing everything in its path, and taking a
diagonal course through the business por
tion of the r.ity, unroofed and dismantled
the Supreme Court building, near the Lbu
isvilie fc Nashville depot, and skipping
aloDg to the Methodist and Baptist
Churches, smashed them into worthless
masses. At one point the destructive ele
ment jumped upward and missed several
stores and residences, but soon pounced
down again and began a career of unparal
leled destruction, tearing down heavy brick
buildings, wrecking and twisting frame
structures out of semblance, and making a
useless mass of debris. Tbe court house,
which occupies a public square in the
centre of the city, was literally torn
to pieces, the walls being twisted and
crushed. The tower was lifted and dropped
to westward, and demolished the hand
some pillars that supported the entrance.
This was the extreme point to the north
that the storm reached, although the business-block
in which are the Mount Vernon
National Bank and other business houses,
was somewhat dismantled by flying brick
uuu UU1UC1B, I !
Fifty yards south of the court house the
storm seemed to be at its height. On the
corner of Washington street and the public
square was the Crews block, a three story
brick building, eighty feet front, occupied
by Rand's Bank, a grocery and saloon.
This building was thoroughly demolished
and then taking fire all the inflammable
material was consumed. Across the-street,
on Washington street, was a row of twb
story frame buildings, with an occasional
one of brick. The brick buildings were
caved in, and the frames were crushed out
of shape against each other.- Near the cor
ner, to the south, were a lot of groggeries
and frame structures which served as ware
houses and dwellings. The storm played
havoc here, and then turned the place ovr
to the blaze, which consumed the last
pianK. i
The storm was over in thirty minutes,
and people rushed out of their safe
retreats and unharmed homes to give as
sistance to the needy. A Are company,
aided by citizens, began the work of rescue,
which was carried on sytematically. The
mayor filled bis place admirably, and in
short order had called for assistance from
neighboring towns. Fire engines and
physicians were wanted, and Centralis,
Ashley, Nashville and Evansville respond-)
ed generously and quickly. Citizens
threw open their houses to the homeless
and their bedrooms became hospitals, while
worthy matrons turned expert nurses
What was left of the Supreme Court builds
ing was turned into a morgue. . i I j
