Now that Mr. Blaine is no more, it is
not indecorous for us to give publicity
to a private letter received at this office
a little more than six years ago. It is
now published for the first time and
solely for the purpose of showing that
“ touch of nature ” in Mr. Blaine’s
character, that not only "' made the
whole world kin ” to him, but made all
the world coming into touch with him,
love him as a brother. The text of the
letter is as follows, and touches upon
one of the severest sorrows and surest
bereavements of our life, the death of
a gifted and beloved son, and former
editor and proprietor of this paper :
AUGUSTA, MAINE, Jan. 20, 1887.
My DEAR BYINGTON :—-'I have this
moment heard of your sad affliction.
I know how great your grief must be
and I beg you will receive my deepest
sympathy for yourself and your wife.
May God give you both the courage
and the grace to lessen your burden of
sorrow. Ever sincerely,
JAMES G. BLAINE.

No Evaslonl No False Pretencesl
Under the above caption the intense-
ly democratic New York Sun, in a
double. loaded editorial, yesterday,
urges its party to stand squarely and
honestly up to its ante-election declar-
ations and professions in regard to the
tariff, in the following strong lan-
guage:
“We notice in various quarters the
indications, more or less distinct, of a
disposition among certain schools of
of Democrats to emasculate and "nullify
the Chicago platform of 1892 respect-
ing the tariff.
That platform is a model of clear, de-
cided, unequivocal statement. It ex-
presses most plainly and forcibly the
intellectual ground on which the advo~
cates of the free trade doctrine must
rest their case. ‘..‘We declare it to be
a fundamental principle of the Demo-
cratic party,” says the platform, “that
the Federal Goverment has no consti-
tutional power to impose and collect
tariff duties, except for the purpose of
revenue only.” This is the doctrine
proclaimed by the party and: estab-
lished by the voting of November,
when Mr. Cleveland and the new
Democratic Congress wererelected by
large and unexpected majorities; and it
is a doctrine from which. there. should
now be no retreat and n‘d'variation.
Yet in some spheres of political ac-
tivity, high and low, we see the signs
of a purpose to vary and depart from
this advanced doctrine; and we make
haste to say that any such course on
the part of the Democratic party, or of
its chosen representatives, will not
only be unworthy of them and insult-
ing to the people who have given them
these great majorities, “but will cer-
tainly be productive of political disas-
ter, if not of party overthrow. We say
this all the more earnestly because the
doctrine in question is not ours, and
has never been the doctrine of those
Democratic statesmen, such as An-
drew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, and
Samuel J. Randall, to, whom we have
been accustomed to look for instruc-
tion in regard to the principles of pub;
lic policy. In the recent election all
our appeals for support to the Demo-
cratic cause grew out of considerations
having no relation to the tariff ; but
when the people in a national election
approve a party platform by such vast
majorities, we are bound to maintain
that they mean the whole of it and not
any specific section only. It is true,
the subject which seemed of the most
vital moment, the controversy respec-
ting the Force bill, was then disposed
of forever; but we maintain also that
the question of the tariff. second in im-
portance only to the Force bill, was
also voted upon with equal intelligence
and with a purpose no less determined.
There must, then, be no evasion and
no false pretences respecting the tariff
on the part of those who are charged
with the duty of earring out the wishes
of the Democracy, and realizing the
the measures on which the people have
pronounced. That duty is to remove
from the statute book and from the
administration of the Government every .
measure, every trace, every root and
fibre of the protectionist policy. It
must be dealt with just as any old thing
should be dealt with, which the people
have condemned as contrary to the
Constitution. It must be extirpated.
It must be made a matter of history
ODIY. The protectionist system must
be extinguished, and the free trade
system must be established in its place.
Anything short of this Will be false to
the Democratic party, and false to the
pledges of these who have been elected
to office by the ballots of its voters.”

Fisher Took Poison When Be Heard That
His Wife Had caused His Arrest. '
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Joseph Fisher, a.
painter, 52 years old; of 211 West Sixty-
seventh street, died yesterday afternoon
while being taken to the Yorkville Police
Court by Policeman Smith. In the dead
man’s pocket was found a bottle, which
is supposed to have contained a mixture
of oxalic acid and whiskey.
For some time Fisher has been drink-
ing heavily. He abused his Wife and
family, and yesterday morning Mrs.
Fisher obtained a warrant for her hus-
band’s arrest. Policeman Smith called at
Fisher’s house yesterday afternoon. Fisher
made an excuse to go into a closet, then
he accompanied the policemen willingly.
The two boarded a cross-town ciir and
when the car reached the corner of Eighth
avenue Smith noticed that his prisoner
was deathly pale, and was unable to sit
up in his seat. He called an ambulance,
but when it arrived the man was dead.

he should not have been tried by court
martial.

“THE KIND THAT CURES.”
Fish Propagation,
The fish commissioners have made
their second biennial report, covering
the two years ending Sept. 30, 1892. It
shows the distribution of over 800,000
trout fry in the state. The demand is
increasing and a half a million or more
will be distributed in 1893 if an addi-
tion of $1,500 to the appropriation Can
he made.
The commission notes a decrease in
the shad catch in Connecticut, but has...
arrived at no satisfactory conclusion as
to the cause. , They recommend plant-
ing the fry in ponds instead of large
streams. These retaining ponds wouId
be clear of all other fish and the fry
would have a splendid chance to thrive
and grow ; besides, a very much larger
percentage of them would reach ma-
turity ; as it is now, planting them di-
rectly in the large streams many of
them are killed and more are eaten up
by other and larger fish. ' -
Very few salmon have been caught
in the timecovered by the report. ‘

Not So Distant as Alaska.
George H. Bates, who was American
Commissioner to Samoa during the in-
vestigation in 1886, and who was sub-
sequently a member of the Commis-
' men to :Berlin for the government of
Samoa, says in regard to the Hawaiian
annexation question: “The present
crisis in Hawaii is no surprise to me
nor can it'be to any one who has kept
the run of events there. Probably many
of those who are horrified at the sug-.
gestion of our incorporating Hawaii
into our own territory do not realize
the fact that the Alaska purchase in-
cluded a group of islands running out
into the Pacific 20 degrees of longi-
tude further than the Sandwich Is-
lands and 10 degrees further west than
Samoa. Honolulu is nearer to Wash-
ington than Alaska and vastly nearer
than California at the time it was in-
corporated in'the Union.
“With Hawaii as American territory
and with the rights which we already
possess in Samoa, and with the new
chance which we hope to see given to
American shipping interests under dem- ~
.ocratic rule we would have literally
what Mr. Blaine fitly termed ‘the key
tombs maritime dpminion‘ of the Pa-
cific. ’ ”

Senator Cleveland (Dem.) of the
First, in a short address said that he
desired to go on record in favor of

stealing case before Justice Howarde.

The dispute arose over the legality of
the complaint,and it was because Judge
Glover proposed to make certain alter-

the papers, away from him. Judge
Glover did not give up the papers with-
out a struggle, and the documents were

Attorney Judson protested on the
ground that he had received no notice,
and when Judge Glover continued his
work of erasure the big attorney from

Negro vs. 002.
The Bridgeport Union gi yes the fol-
lowing description of a very disgust-
ing fight that happened in that city the
other night between a negro named
Thompson and a bull dog for a purse
of .
Prize fights, dog fights and cooking
mains have at least the excuse that the
contestants are alike, and as nearly
equal in fighting calibre as possible,
but to pit a man against a beast is ‘
something that has ‘ne Ier occurred be-
fore in .thiscity. .
Thompson was stripped to the waist
and got down 'on his hands and knees
in the ring. He wore boxmg gloves of
the largest size to protect his hands.
The agreement was that if he could
stand the agony long enough to choke
the dog into insensibility he was to
take the purse, but if he cried quit the
dog’s owner was to secure the money.
Everything being ready the dog was
released and made a spring at the
kneeling negro, securing a go hold
on his left arm above the elbow.
Thompson’s herculean fingers stifiened
around the dog’s threat, but the ani-
mal was game and held on for grim
death. .
In the excitement 'the negro got his
face too close, and the dog released its
hold on his arm and fastened its teeth
through the man’s left ear. That set-
tled the battle and Thompson called-to
the handlers to pull the dog off. He
admitted that he had lost the battle,
fair and square.
Thompson’s arm was badly laceratcd,
and his car was pierced in two places
by the canine’s'tceth. He was very
weak after the mill. _
The sports were satisfied that they
had got their money’s. worth, an
many of them became disgusted and
left the room before the battle was
over. It is safe to say that there will
never be a repetition of the scene in
‘ this city.
