Retrospective Prophecy

RI. H. Huxley in Nineteenth Century.1.
History, in the ordinary acceptation of the
word, is based upon the Interpretation of doc
umentary evidence; and documents would
have no evidential value unless historians
were justified in their assumption that they
have come into existence by the operation of
causes similar to those of which documents
are in our present experience, the effects If
written history can be produced otherwise
than by human agency, or if the man who
wrote a given document was actuated by other
than ordinary human motives, such documents
are OF no more evidential value than SO many
arabesques. Archaeology, which takes up the
thread of history beyond the point at which
documentary evidence fails us, could have no
existence, except for our well grounded conf
dence that monuments and works of art or
artitce, have never beeu produced by causes
different IN kind from those to which they
now owe their origin. And geology. which
traces back the course of history beyond the
limits OF archaeology, could tell us nothing ex-
cept for the assumption that, millions of wears
ago, water, heat, gravitation, friction, anima,
and vegetable life caused effects of the same
kind as they do now. Nay, even physical as
tronomy, in 50 far rs it takes us back to the
uttermost point of time which Psychological
science can reach, is founded upon the same
assumption. Ii the law of gravitation ever
failed to be true, even to the smallest extent,

An Excellent Political Tract.

Our Political Parties. Benjamin F. Tefft,
D. D., LII. d. Boston: Lee & Shepard;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony This,cear-
headed, direct and admirable political tract
ought to have large circulation in the present
campaign Its striking. Historical statements, its
sound practical sense, and correct view of the
situation are very notable. The careful study
of the past is particularly useful to the politi-
cal thinker. From it are gathered the actual
workings of political theories and experiments,
the outcome of party tendencies, the compar-
ative progress of affairs under different leaders
and the principles which they advocated. DR..
Tefft has availed himself of the lesson
taught by comparison of the theories of ma
tional government as embodied by Washing
ton and jefferson. The American Union, as
founded by its first Chief Magistrate was not a
loosely bound clique of states leagued together
for temporary purposes, protection from COM
mon enemy or advantages of trade-a partner
ship to be dissolved at the pleasure of the firm.
Washington's own words QUOTED by DIR. Tefft,
who very properly remarks that the sugges-
tions therein contained have ever been as they
still are, the National party's groundwork Of
faith) are as follows:
There are four things which l humbly con-
ceive are essential to the ,geU-being, I may
venture to say to the existence, of the United
States as an Independent power 1st,an indiSSo-
luble union of all the states under ONE federal
head; End, A sacred regard to public justice:
3rd The adoption of proper peace establish
DeeTt, and 4th, the prevalence OF that pacific
and friendly disposition, among the people of
the United States, which will induce them TO
forget their local prejadices and politics, to
make those mutual concessions which are re-
quisite to the general prosperity, and in some
instances to sacrifice their ihdtctdudt ddcdnt-
ages to the WHOLE COMMUNITY.
These wise, mighty and patriotic words
were written bv Washington in his tent, at the
close of the Revolutionary War, four years be.
fore the framing of our Constitution. And
now, ninety years after theink dried upon that
paper, written in the camp of victory what
has bitter experience given us to know? That
according as we depart from the large and un-
selfish principles laid down in that declaration,
our measure of wrong and misery is secure.

In the Way Of Reioinder.

The Maine Standard this week affects to
believe it has ''cornered" the PREss,-and
says that in 1873 we called General Garfield
thief and robber. We made no such
statement. We condemned the men who
pocketed the back-pay and the men who
were bribed by Oakes Ames But in neither
of those lists is General Garfield to be found
A week ago the Maine Standard reprinted
some extracts from the PRESS files of 1873
strongly condemnatory of the salary grab
and the Credit Mobilier. The Eastern Ar
gus then started on the road its more agile
Augusta contemporary had taken and this
week the Norway New Religion brings up
the rear OF the procession. In reply to the
article of the Argus the PRESS intimated
that it had no apologies to make, and no
expressions of opinion to recant, and it
reprinted its utterances of 1873 Now as
then it condemns both the Salary Grab and
the Credit Mobilier The answer it made the
Argus it makes to the. Maine Standard and
the New Religion. 1t does not find it nee
essary to go over the ground again. The
error IN reasoning made by the Standard,
the Argus, and the New Religion, is COM
mon one. They argue from disputed
premises. Their logic is this: The PRESS
condemns the salary steal and the agents in
the Credit Mobilier swinde General Gar
field was salary grabber and one of the
men bribed by Oakes Ames; therefore the
PRESS condemns General Garfield. To the
second proposition we take exception, be-
cause it is false. 1t would be as Just and
truthful for us to advance the formula: The
Maine Standard condemns murder; General
Hancock murdered Mrs. Surratt; therefore
the Standard condemns General Hancock as
murderer. The second proposition is
lie, the same as the second proposition re-
garding Garfield is lie. The opposition
papers beg the very question at issue; and
as long as they insist upon doing that. dis
cussion with them is merely waste of
time.
The PRESS is at issue with the Standard
upon two other questions. The Standard
says Frederick Conkling is recent recruit
to Democracy, and that the Society of the
Cincinnati has endorsed Hancock as Pres
idential candidate. We say that Frederick
Conkling deserted the Republicans in 1872,
and that the Society of the Cincinnati does
not endorse Hancock. But of course we do
not expect the Standard to acknowledge the
errors it has made in these cases.. Should
it go into that business its columns would
