The Farce.

The personal organ at the corner Of Gov
ernor and franklin pronounces the nomi-
nation CT the venerable hero whom all true
men delight to honor 'farce." This
nomination. has been dreaded by the organ
for some time. General JOE was not amongst
the names indicated by the little euchre-
party at its closet convention in this city
Hast spring. The "priyate and confidential"
instructions that were sent out at that time,
it is suspected, preferred another man who
has as many names as she had votes in the
Convention. IS.
The nomination that has been made was
exceedingly farcical-so farcical that the
mouth CT laughter is SO painfully drawn by
the fun that it fingers in a ghostly grin. 1t
is dramatic entertainment that is "tragicai-
comical.' Will there not be. some other
such. !" coInical. traeieal" advertisement?

The Butler Potter Committee got down
to the lowest depth before they took a
recess to celebrate the Fourth. They
discovered q man named Weber, who
swore that he was liar and who outrag-
ed the memory of his murdered brother
by denouncing him as liar as infamous
as himself In delving in the mire OF
Lousans politics the Committee have
fished up some curious and disgusting
specimens of human nature, but nothing
as revolving as this man Weber. For the
sake of helping the Democrats to make
political capital this hyena violates his
own brothers grave and insults the
corpse Cleveland Herald,
This style of talk is somewhat disgust
ing to persons who have read the testi
mony thus far, in the Louisiana case
Weber is Republican, and is a brother
to the man whose protest in favor OF
throwing out parish in Louisiana, saved
HAYES, and who was murdered for this
very act. Now Weber corroborates, in
the main, the testimony of James E. An
derson and the documentary evivence IN
each case sustains Weber's testimony
On the contrary, Mrs. jerks, whom
Weber proves to be a notorious liar, the
Herald defends. We have no doubt
there are many disgusting specimens OF
humanity in Louisiana, but they have all
been Hayes agents and tools, and as the
Republican State Convention endorses
Hayes motives and actions as highly
patriotic, we fail to see how any newspa
per can sustain that platform, and then
denounce scum like Weber, Anderson,
Mrs. jerks and Eliza Pinkston, without
whom Hayes would now be respectable
private citizen at Fremont.-Toledo Sun

flied when it comes to talking them to a
mans face instead of circulating them
behind his back. 1t is somebody's duty
to be kind and patient and loving and
Christlike to Robert G. Ingersoll. We
do not presume to answer his hard ques-
tions. Nor shall we entertain any vain
ambition to debate with him, never so
quietly. But somebody who has the ex-
perience will, sometime or another, meet
him, and face a man who is well worth
saving. The churches cannot get rid of
their responsibility to Ingersoll by call
ing him names, by avoiding him, or by
ruling him out of the circle of their con-
sideration. Nor can Ingersoll get rid of
Christianity by calling it names, joking
about its Bible, and saying smart things
at the expense Of its institutions. The
Gospel unhorsed the proud Saul at mid
day on the public road. 1t has power
for such victories still. 1t is not enough
that ministers go about among easy
minded folks, who will assent to every
proposition, without even mixing of
the truths involved or the duties implied.
1t is not the end of the Christians ac
countability to sing hymns already set to
music; to repeat prayers by bell and
book; to pronounce the routine phrases
Of orthodoxy, and then to intone an echo
ing amen-to sigh, to groan, and go to
sleep. There is more rugged service
than that. The Sauls of Tarsus who
ride high horses; the puzzled Nicode-
muses. of the nighttime; the little FAC
cheuses Of wealth who climb trees to see
the Christ; the rampant Ingersolls of our
day, who have been hurt in spirit away
back yonder in childhood or beyond; the
Tyndalls, who are endowed and cultured,
and who cannot be silenced by the stamp
ing of feet when Joseph Cook pronounces
them superficial thinkers-these are
types of men to whom the Gospel bears a
message.
'Ingersoll is worth saving. He will
probably laugh at our credulity; but he
may. A man who can laugh can be
saved. 1t is the man who neither smiles
nor weeps that is the most helpless of all
He will possibly pity our crude opinions.
He may. A man who can exercise pity
can be made understand what infinite
compassion means and why One who was
sinless should die in illustration of that
divine principle

odious by the management Of low people,
who get into the offices, and through
their influence run the organization of
the party for their personal use Then
it becomes "the machine" in the odious
sense. The citizens of Cincinnati know
how disreputable and odious the machine
may be made in this way.
Upon this there is much unthinking
talk of the national Office holders manag-
ing the elections. And from this there
Is jump to the conclusion that if they
were forbidden to do any political work
our politics and public service would be
purified. This is the very reverse of any
rational remedy. 1t grants that the pub
lie officers are SO low in character that
they must be excluded from that which
is the essential part of government by
the people. And yet it asks the people
to do all this work towkeep these attaint-
ed officers in their places The rational
remedy would be to put in officers of
higher character, who will not abuse
their places. The administration can al
ways have men of high character for the
offices; men whose active participation
in the elections will raise their character
in the public estimation That it does
not appoint these is its own fault
To abandon this, and to resort to the
imposition of political disability on pub
lie officers, is as weak as that oriental
practice which tries to secure the fidelity
of the wives by making eunuchs of the
officers of the harem. Where are the
work and the spirit to come from to Or
ganize parties and elections if these are
to be disqualification for office? Shall
it be said that such work is good to elect
a President, and that the President
should reward his personal supporters by
putting them in Office, but that then
they must become political eunuchs p
That would reduce the whole to the mere
selfish ends of the President, and would
be the reverse of an elevation. If the
rule is good for national, it is the same
for State, county and city officers, and
the result would be that every man in
office would be a political drone. Any
party which should practice such rule
would die from the lack of the capacity
for selfpreservation.
popular government is, by its own
constitution, party government. The
administration is of party, and can not
exist without party. No administra-
ton could live which should assume to
rise above its party, or to condemn the
means by which it was elected No party
could live which accepted the rule that
the men whom it elects to offices are
thereby dismissed from all active work
for the party, and in short, that the
party is one thing and the administra-
tion another, and that there is not any
further necessary connection between
the two after the party has done the
work of electing the administration
This would not be government by the
people, but it would be a weak surrender
of the government and its party to the
more virile opposition.

Funeral of C. G. Burleigh.
REMARKS OF WILLIAM LLOYD GARRIsoN-LET-
TER OF MR.. WHITTIER.


TER OF MR.. WHITTIER.
SPINGFIELD, MASS, June 16-The fu-
neral of G. G. Burleigh, the able Aboli-
ZIONIST, at Florence, this afternoon, was
attended by about 1,200 persons, and
many were unable 10 gain access to the
hall. Flowers were in profusion and the
exercises appropriate. Local Unitarian
and Congregational ministers took part.
The principal speakers were Rev. Samuel
j. May, Jr., of Leicester, and William
Lloyd Garrison. In speaking of the de
ceased, Mr.. Garrison said: HE came Of
ten to my home we felt that he was a
part of our household He made a great
sacrifice at 25 years of age, in leaving the
profession Of law, with the promise of a
brilliant career. My mind follows him
from village to village-always laughed
at called fanatic, lunatic, and everywhere
receiving brickbats, rotten eggs, DC. But
he was always confident that his cause
would triumph. We abolitionists had no
one SO able to disentangle the sophistries
of our opponents, and we regard him as
one of the ablest men the country has
produced. | doubt if any other man has
spoken so many times for the cause
His character bore no STAIN
Letters were read from w hitter, Inc
odore D. Weld, of Hyde Park; Edward
NJ Davis, of Philadelphia; Rev. j. w.
Chadwick, of Brooklyn, and j. X. Will
son. Mr. Whittier wrote: "One of the
ablest and most self sacrificing of the
number, now sadly depleted, who com
PEELED the reluctant people to see the sin
and danger of slavery. X AS a
debater have rarely seen his equal. He
~, bic baSt moments to aOn hipa
the impetuous eloquence of Henry with
the severe logic of Calhoun. One after
another, in rapid succession, the pioneers
of the great movement are passing on;
remember William Goodell and Judge
Sutliff, who just preceded him.
Like clouds that rake the mountain summit,
Like waves that know no guiding hand,
So swift has brother followed brother
From sunshine to the sunless land"

Trihes.

What are trifles? who can tell
All trifle's meaning?
Scattered ears on life's broad field
For wise ones cleaning.
NOught but has its work on earth,
Fraught with pain or pleasure;
Links in Natures mystic chain,
Though of tinieSt measure.
But a trif1e seems the word
SO unkindly spoken;
Yet the life-harp wafleth low
For q gold string broken.
But trifle seems a smile
On q kind face beaming;
How a faint heart groweth strong
Meath its gentle cleaning!
Just a look may waken thoughts
Full of proud resentment
Just a look may fill the soul
With q sweet cOntentment.
Little prayers of children fair,
By their mother kneeling,
Touch a worn and weary heart
With childlile feeling.
But flowers perfume may bear
Back through years of sorrow
To the sunny morn of life,
With bright tomorrow;
And q treSS of Silken hair
On a young brow parted,
Wake fount of bitterest tears
For tbs ken-hearted.
Twas q single raindrop fell
On green bud, thirsting;
Strengthened by the fairy draught,
Lo flower is bursting;
And an acorn lightly flung
In pathway dreary-
Spread an oaks broad shadows out
To refresh the weary.
