UIGHLI HONORED BY ALL NATIONS Ills Obsequies Will ; be Observed In Every Quarter of The Civilized World. Washington, Jan. 27. Special The long expected visitation of Death came at last to the Blaine mansion at 11:3 this morning, and the noble heart of the honored statesman ceased its pulsation. "Blai ne is Dead,' Hashed the wires, and the home of the patient sufferer is turned to a house of mourning. Tho end was peaceful, the dis tinguished. patient passing from a state of unconsciousness to 'death.' The an nouncement did not create unusual sur prise as it was generally felt that the battle with death would end in defeat. The family were all present at the bed side. Ever since his return to Washing ton for the winter- Mr. Blaine has been doomed and to all intents dead for many days. His mind has been a blank for weeks, with few lucid moments. The life of James G. Blaine is briefly told in the following epitome : 1S30 James G. Blaine was born in West Brownsville, Washington countv, Pa., January 31st. 1847 Graduated from Washington college, in Ms native county, with honors. 1852 Instructor in literature and science in the Pennsylvania Institution for the blind in Philadelphia. 1854 Removed to Augusta, Me., and became editor and half proprietor of the Kennebec Journal. 1850 Elected a delegate ' to the first republican national convention, which nominated Gen. Fremont for the presi dency. 1858 Elected to tho state legislature, serving four successive terms in that body, two of which aa its speaker. 1862 Elected to congress, where, in one branch or the other, he served for eighteen years. 1865 Began to take a prominent part in the work of reconstructing the con federate states. 18G7 Opposed that section of the re construction bill placing the south un der military government, and was finally successful in defeating the obnoxious clause. He also delivered a powerful speech against the doctrine of paying off the public debt in greenbacks. ,J869 Chosen speaker of the house of representatives, and va9 re-elected speaker by the next two congresses. 74 The democrats having trained con trol of the house, Mr. Biaine became the leader of the minorit3'. 76 The most prominent candidate for the presidential nomination. On June 11, the Sunday before the convention, was prostrated by the heat when enter ing his church. At the convention he only lacked 28 votes of a majority neces-' sary to nominate mm, but was defeated by the consolidation of his opponents. Was appointed to the United States sen ate to fill unexpired term caused by res ignation of Senator Morrill. 1878 Advocated the establishment of a steamship line to Brazil, and urged a subsidy be given to secure its success. 1SS0 Again a prominent candidate for the presidential nomination. .When Garfield was elected he was offered and accepted the state portfolio. 1881 Retired from the cabinet on De cember 19, after inaugurating several measures which were calculated to ac crue to the benefit of the United States. 1882 Began to write his historical work, entitled "Twenty Years' of Con gress," on which he labored four years. 1884 Nominated for the presidency, but was defeated at the polls and retired to his home in Augusta and continued writing his l)ook. 1886 Took an active part in t he Maine campaign, delivering a serio&of speeches upon the fisheries question. 1888 Went to Europe in poor health and had an attack of illness while in Florence. Sent two letters from Europe saying he would not be a candidate un der anv circumstances. He returned in the fall and delivered several speeches in favor of Gen. Harrison's candidacy. 1HS9 Appointed secretary of state and began to interest himself immediately in the Bering sea and fisheries question with Great Britain -end other inter national affairs. 1S90 Formulated his - reciprocity; ideas of which were incorporated in the tariff act of this year and which led to commercial treaties wi-h several count ries. 1892 Resigned as secretary of state in June and spent the summer at Bar Har bor. In October he made a speech at Ophir farm on his way to Washington, where he has since remained. Crandall & Burget are now settled in their new store in the Michelbach brick on Union street, next door to Floyd & Showu's. Call around. KALEY BILL RECONSIDERED. Thanks to Senator Butler "We May be Happy Yet.' Salem, Jan. 27. Special. There is considerable comment over the sensation of the senate yesterday, in reconsidering Raleys bill for a state portage railway at the dalles of the Columbia. It was pro posed by Senator Butler, and was secur ed through the unanimous endorsement of the democrats. The very astute sena tor from Clackamas, Hayes by name, put in a vigorous protest, charging that the time of the senate was being taken up . with a useless reconsideration of a measure which had no possible show of pas sage; and characterized the bill as more in the interest of Idaho and Washington than Oregon. Buthe reconsideration prevailed, and the bill lies on the table until a committee can be appointed to investigate and report on the cost of con structing the road. Legislature Adjourned. . -Sai.em, Jan. -27. Special. The as sembly adjourned until two p. m.' Mon day, in respect to the memory of James G. Blaine. HEATH IN JOURNALISM. Last of tho Old Virginia City Enterprise. Reminiscences. From the Spoknne Review.! The oldest newspaper in Nevada, the Virginia City Enterprise, has suspended publication. For the past ten years it has not paid expenses, having been kept alive by the bonanza millionaires and the bank of California. The death of this pioneer paper will excite many pa thetic memories of the breezy davs of the '70s, when it was a power in the poli tics of Nevada. Many a brilliant Pa cific coast journalist began his life work in the office of the Enterprise. Mark Twain, Dan De Quille, Joaquin Miller and others less known to fame took turns at the work of making the paper one of the most widely quoted in the United States.- Twain did reportorial work for the sheet, and once, during the absence of the editor, undertook the work of fil ling the editorial columns, which he de clared to be the severest labor that it had ever been his bad fortune to en counter. One familiar with the eternal grind of daily newspaper work can readily under stand Twain's repugnance to the task. Twain was naturally indolent; was moved by fits and starts ; one day he was brilliant, and the next his mind refused to yield even to mediocrity. Pioneer journalism can ' make room tor men of this erratic nature, but as pioneer con ditions pass away, and the tendency is toward a hotter pace, the public requires reliability rather than occasional bub bling9 of wit and wisdom. In this state Boheinianism made its last stand during the boom period of ad mission to statehood. Rich owners of newspapers, possessed of more cash than practical knowledge of the business, sought out men to edit their sheets who passed as. wits and brilliants in the pro fession. Almost without exception these Bohemians proved disappointing and had to make way for newspaper workers equipped with industry and judgment. After all the newspaper is but the un erring reflex of the social and industrial conditions which surround it. If the community is feverish and booming, the paper indicates the feverish uess. If it has worked down to the stable conditions of progressive business life, its papers show the change. If the moral tone of the community be low, the newspapers will reflect the laxity. The press, like the pulpit, can not run far in advance of its surroundings w ithout losing itself and sacrificing its influence. It is difficult to convince our ministerial brethren of this, but the fact is none the less existent. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. Li. vs. sara ARKANSAS SITTINGS.

Another state treasury sensation came to litrht when the newly created state debt board, of which Governor Fishback is Dresident. ordered the state treasury to hold $3,000 m coupons, presented for conversion into bond scrip, lo be held as the nron- erty of the state, it being evident that the coupons have been stolen from the state treasury. When thev were stolen or by whom remains to be determined. ine coupons have been sent to Judge ICimballs, a prominent lawyer of this city, by G. D. Whitless, of New London, lxnu. ; but where the latter obtained them is unknown. Nearly $50,000 of these coupons are still" out, and the whole has been stolen at some time from the state treasury. Governor Fishback has determined to sift the matter to the bottom. Strikers Will Hold Out. London, Jan. 26. At a conference held by the millowners and representa tives of the operators, the latter sub mitted a proposal to resume work at the rates prevailing before the strike, and to acept a five per cent, reduction in wages upon the expiration of the quarter, if the etaployers found their profit unsatis factory.
