4 Democratic Lie Nailed.

All the democratic papers have been pub
fishing in display letter, decision alleged to
have been rendered by the United States
Supreme Court. through Justice Swavne, in
1875. in condemnation of the employment of
Gen. Garfield as counsel by a pavement COM
pany. Nothing ia known of such decision
at the rooms of the Supreme Court, and it is
authoritatively announced that justice
Swayne never delivered such an opinion.
The statement in the democratic papers is
that Justice Swayne. of the United States
Supreme Court in passing upon the DE Golyer
coptract case, said in an opinion: 1.-The
agreement with Gen. Garfield. u member of
Congress, to pay him 5000 as a contingent
fee for procuring n contract which was itself
made to depend upon future appropriation
by Congress. which appropriation could only
come from the committee of which he was
the chairman, was sale of influence which
no veil can cover against the plainest prnci-
ples of public policy" Sc. As might have
been expected by those who are familiar with
democratic campaign methods, no such Ian
yuage was ever used by Justice Swsyne on
the bench or elsewhere, and he never had an
opportunity TO deliver 4 judicial opinion up
on the matter, because the case in question
was never taken before the Supreme Court.
The matter is finally set at rest by so prom
inent democrat as ex-senator Doolittle W no
has published the following card in a Wash
ington paper:
"a serious error has been made by some
newspapers in supposing that the DeGolyer
case ever went to the Supreme Court, or that
Justice Swayne used the language attributed
to him in commenting upon it. In the brief
submitted to Judge Farweli, in the Circuit
Court here, another case-Burke against
Child-decided in the Supreme Court, WAS
cited, and Justice Swayne's opinion stated.
But the mistake has been this. that part of
the Language of the brief which follows the
citation of the case of Burke VS.. Child is at
tributed to Justice Swayne, language which
he never used, for the case was never before
him, and as was the counsel who submitted
the brief, it is just TO Gen. Garfield to Justice
Swayne, and to myself that should at once
correct this mistake"

4 DYING CHTLD'S LAST WISH.


At one of the public schools in the
northwestern part of the city the pupils
are spurred to coed behavior and study
by cards of merit, day of perfect be-
haviar and study being recognized by a
fancifuI small card. Twenty-four of
those cards entitle the pupil to one lar~
ger and more ornamental card. Among
the pupils was sweet little girl seven
years of age, whose pretty ways and de-
votion to her lessons had won for her the
love and admiration of all her school as
sociates, and at the close of each day her
name was certain to be read from the
roll of honor. A few days since her
seat at school was noticed to be vacant,
and regrets we're expressed on all sides,
as it was the first ''absent" marked
against her. The next day one of her
little school-mates brought word that
she was detained at home by illness. On
the third day the teacher received the
following note: "My darling little girl
is very sick and, as l fear, is dying. She
has received OWtHfy L "O VI tiiG Slilti
cards of merit and has asked me to send
to YOU to see if you will not send her
one of the larger cards, as she is sure she
would have been awarded the two cards
necessary to receive the larger one had
she been able to attend school," The
note was read to the pupils. and for a
time the scene presented in that school
room was most affecting. Not only was
one large card sent to the dying pupil,
but eight of them were taken to her by
her teacher, and those cards-the full
complement possible for the term-were
with the child and seemed a source of
infinite comfort to her up to the time Of
her death. The child was buried on
Thursday and prominent among the
many decorations upon the little casket
were the cards of merit, patheticaily |
typical of the buried hopes, joys and
mbitiens of the little one whose last |
dreams were of success.
