The New York Herald has very re-
Gently taken the side of Garfield.
On December 9th, 1873, that same
journal bad this to say about the
aforesaid "lt Mr. Blaine went to
work to appoint the Committees of
the House of Representatives upon the
principle of giving the worst men the
best places, he has succeeded charm
ingly. Though the odor of the Credit
Mobiiier exposures hangs about the gar.
ments Of DdiCeS and Garfield, and Kelley
and Scofeld, they retain their old
places-the first Chairman of the
Ways and Means and leader OF the
House, the second as Chssrman of Ap-
preparations, the third the second place
on Dawes Committee, and the last as
Chairman on Naval Affairs. Comment
upon this action Of tho Speaker is al.
most impossible, so base is the act. The
reputation Of these men is so soiled and
beSmeHed that TO hear Dawes and Gar
field talking uirtue is much like listening
to the Era One counseling sinners to pur.
sue the straight, maroon path. y ="
Previous to the meeting of Congress
in 1873, the Herald scored Garfield in
this way: "lf Mr.. Blaine means to be
Speaker and to run for the Presidency
he must soon decide one question,
What will he do with the Credit Mo-
bilier members of the HouscT Take
Dawes and Mr. Garfield for instance.
Does he mean to give these two dis,
honest representatives the Chairman
ships of the two most important Com.
mitteesY
y y The Senate is already
organized. The House will doubt
lessly accomplish its organization on
Monday, in the reelection of Mr..
Blaine as Speaker, and III choosing
again for tho places they held, most of
the officers of the last Congress. But
the Credit Mobilier scandal suggests
the propriety OF reconstruction of
the most important and responsible
standing Committees of the House"

An exchange says Both the Re
publican candidates for President are
now strongly committed to the policy
of supplying capitalists with cheap
Chinese labor, Garfield, who is run.
ming for the term beginning March A,
1881, has made his position clear,
by his votes on the anti.Chinese bill,
which was vetoed by his friend Hayes.
Grant, who is running for the term be.
ginning March 4, 1885, and Tor all
other terms during his natural life, in
accordance with the treaty of Mentor,
never allowed the slightest mlsappre.
hension as to his opinions in favor Of
the Chinese. Since his tour in the
East he has developed q sort of Orien.
tai craze He saw the full value of
coolie labor to the American money
power in its coming conflicts with
American labor, and he did not hest
tate for q moment on which side to
throw the whole force Of his influence.
The workingmen may as well under.
stand now as again what capitalists
mean by the "strong government
they seek to establish. Senator Sharon
says unequivocally thatit means"grape
and canister" Tor them when they as
sociate together to market their labor
to the best advantage 1t means the
empire, with large standing armies, To
overawe the people, when they resist
the exactions of the money power,
which it is intended to set over them
or grumbIe at the competition OF cheap
imported labor.

CONSIDERABLY "SADDLEBAGGED. -
The meek man who prcsides over the
columns Of the Bellefonto Wdtchmar
annoyed some of our people very much
in his last issuc, with his title letter

again, in the next column, IL was just
as bold: "yote for Murray This
display of type and sentiment looked
very queer on this side Of the Moshan.
non but over in Bald Eagie and Penns
Valleys il was understood that the
editor aforesaid favored the election Of
W. A. Murray for the Legislature, and
not Thomas II. Murray, who was max.

own fault that he became so mixed up
among his readers. Had he aromained

Tue WoRDs OF A SAGE.-"But upon
no other field than that of our country
have all business pursuits asserted an
influence so great and varied. They
have not merely built up classes of men
prosperous in their personal affairs,
but they covered great continent
with all the influence of advanced civil
ization and have founded cities and
States. Here the ordinary pursuits of
lite are linked with political transac-
tions with growing greatness, 40 closely
that they cannot be separated nor
viewed in any other light which does
not display their intimate and inter.
mingled relationship. Tho successful
business men Of our country are un.
grateful to oursystem of government, or
ignorant of their own rights and duties
and show want Of selfrcspect, when
they yield up their rightinl powrs or
show an indifference to their duties.
Certainly, they would not in their
private affairs allow changes in their
rights and powers without a careful
scrutiny into consequences They
would not be led by their opinions into
establishing rules for harming others

wish to put forth to keep my school
quiet rather than melting them to
