WHAT THE LONDON PAPERS SAY.

The administration of Gen. Garfield
is not likely to differ materially in pol.
icy or conduct from that of Mr.. HAYES
1t is indeed probable enough that the
old senatorial ring, which was master
of the situation during Gen. Grants
second presidency and which strovt
hard to carry the third term movement
to successful issue, will become more
powerful than it has been of late and
will once more monopOlize and employ
for its own purposes the patronage OF
the government and its executive infiu-
ences. 1t is tolerably evident that
American reformers have given up hope
for the present of purifying the party
organizations and breaking down the
detestable system which gives the
spells to the victors. 1t has been shown
in the recent contest that it is impossi-
BILE to excite any strong anti-sOuthern
feeling in the North, and as the pOliti-
clans who manage the affairs of the re-
publican party were ouly interested in
keeping up the anti-southern cry be-
cause they relied upon it as an mex
baustable fund of cheap aud easy pop
ularity, it may he predicted that this
WORKOUT question will be dropped
Thus one of the gravest dangers of
Gen. Grants policy has been removed.
The republican politicians must see it
is to their advantage as a party to
maintain the policy of the nomination.
II London Standard.
We cannot but regret the result, if
not very keenly. In the first place
there is no comparison between the
merits of the two men. Garfield is a
third-rate republican party politician,
belonging not perhaps to the school of
Blaines, Conklings, and Camerons, but
quite as little to that of reformers like
Adams, or honest administrators like
Sherman. He is the nominee of the
wire-pulling interest, and is man of
no sort of personal weight or character.
Hancock is, with few exceptions, the
most distinguished, and, without sin
gle exception we believe, the most
loyal, honest and high-minded soldier
still in the service of the Union. He is
q man of distinction so great that even
his Obnoctious democratic politics could
not prevent his retention in active SER
vice when $3.50 of the soldiers, officers
and generals of the federal army were
relegated to civil life. And since the
younger Adams no man of character
equally high, no man so completely an
swering to what Englishmen mean by
gentlemen has filled the presidential
chair. Garfield belongs to the type of
which Lincoln was the best and Andrew
johnson by no means the worst, an ex-
ample who in this country would be
called a political adventurer. The
combination of gross pecuniary dishon-
esty and infamous maladministration of
the republican party cannot but exer-
else bad effect upon the political mo-
rality of the United States, already Ia
mentally low, and will undo whatever
good Mr.. Hayes may have done during
bis four years of Office, teaching jobbers
and patronage mongers, peculators and
trading politicians that there is no
enormity which party zeal will not COW
er and public indifference speedily for

aid of northern votes the power which
they have seized in their own section
and no greater benefit could have been
conferred upon that section as well as
on the rest of the Union. 1t decides
that the right of the national govern
ment in the proper exercise of the con-
stitutional powers extends to the SUI
pervisiOn of national elections and to
their regulation in such manner as is
needed to insure their purity and their
fairness. There will no longer be found
democratic statesmen in Washington to
declare that there sis no such thing as
a national election" We had one yes
president or for representatives will be
one. The supremacy of the federal
government in its own field, its power
and duty to defend itself against fraud,
as well as violence, its right to apply
the principle of impartial justice
throughout its Jurisdiction, these form
the first and most important clause of
the decision rendered by the American
people yesterday.
From the New York HERALD
The one great and grave danger to
disputable has been avoided and for
this all good citizens, all men who love
their country, no matter for whom they
voted will be devoutly thankful. There
will be time enough hereafter to discuss
the causes of the overwhelming victory
of the republicans. 1t is plain, howev-
er, that the country does not fancy the
"solid South" and that it does not adj
mire the lack of brains and of principles
for which the democratic canvass was
chiefly conspicuous. To these general
reasons must be added this, that the
American people, who are, like all free
people, conservative, and properly so,
were inclined to let we'll enough alone.
They saw no sufficient reasons for a
change in the administration. The
democrats asserted that there were such
reasons, but the vote shows that they
were not able to convince the people.
1t would not, perhaps, be incorrect to
say, that they might have convinced
the voters had they taken the right way.
They had popular platform, but they
forgot all about it until the last weeks
of the canvass, and then they split it
up for kindling wood. Whenever dem
ocrats can agree upon a policy and
muster up courage enough to assert and
explain it before the people, if at the
same time they can shake off the load
of the solid South, they may have some
hope of success. The republicans have
the presidency and a working majority
in both houses of Congress. For four
years from the 4th of March next they
have the destiny of the country in their
hands. What will they do with it?

The Election.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
From tho New York Tribune.


Gen. Garfield is elected by majority
so big that no man dare to question the
result. The thing is well done-done
to stand. Never have free institutions
won a grander triumph than was yes
terday achieved. There is a solid
North, solid for justice, equal rights
and public honor. If later returns
raise doubt about any state, it will
he true that the North is substantially
united. The cause for (which Lee and
jackson fought" took at the start three
out of every eight electoral votes 10 the
United States by force or fraud if nee
essary. but the free people of the
North have met the emergency. They
have answered grandly and closed all
doubt. They have settled once more
let us hope for ever-the questions
growing out of the war by giving all
their electoral votes to James A. Gar
field. This result is an answer to the
solid South. If the South can learn
anything, it ought to learn that its
blind, brutal, causeless solidity is a
blunder. Until Southern men open
their eyes to their true interests, cease
10 be Southern men and become citizens
of the United States, they must sit in
the shadow of such defeats as that of
Tuesday. The vote is an answer to the
cry for ''change," and is a splendid
recognition of the fact that the republi-
can party has governed the country so
wisely that a change would be folly.
The verdict is an answer to an infa-
nous attempt to steal an election by
fraud, SANDER and forgery. The an
swer of the American people is the
election of James A. Garfield to the
presidency. Years ago the democratic
party was branded "traitor." Yester-
day it was branded ''liar and forger,'
and the marks will stick. In the fu-
ture, If any party wishes the sort OF
thrashing which the American people
gives when it is disguised and mad, it
may try to initiate the democratic
methods of 1880.
from the New York Times
The sober, patriotic people of the
United States have great reason to be
deeply thankful for the result of the
election yesterday. The republican
candidates have won the electoral votes
Of this state by an overwhelming ma
jority, and, with these, the electoral
votes of every state that in 1860 was
not tainted with the curse of slavery
1t is great victory for all the ideas
which underlie the American system OF
government. 1t settles many question,
which only yesterday were open tC
some dispute. 1t determines in the
first place and chiefly that the govern.
ment of the nation shall be natioua
and not government of party, &
section or Il race. 1t establishes the
rule of justice and equal rights in ev.

THREE WAYS OF DESTROYING OUR
SCHoOI.s.-There are three ways of de-
stroying our public school system. The
first is employing incompetent teachers,
whose sole recommendation is that
they will teach cheaply. Second, by
the parents having such confidence in
the teachers and school board that they
will never visit the school for them
selves. The third is for parents to take
the word of their children, and on the
strength of their reports to find fault
with the school. If we would have
good schools, we must heve good, COM
petent teachers, and there is no person
who is really qualified to teach a good
school but what knows themselves to
be able to earn more than the mere pit
lance some would dole out to them for
teaching, in almost any other calling.
Then patrons of the school must show
lively interest in the same and encour-
age the teacher and pupils to earnest
work thereby. - Wisconsin Journal of

Advice to Young Men who have the
Western Fever.

~. L. W." takes an early opportuni-
ty as editor of the Providence Press to
give young men who have the western
feverr some sensible advice. He con-
tends that it is a good rule for every
Young man who is doing moderately
we'll at home to make no change with
out the most careful consideration.
Pluck, energy and application are sure
to win almost anywhere, and while it
may be true that the rewards of enter
prise may come more quickly and in
more abundant measure in new coun-
try than in an old one, it is also true
that there may be most excellent rea-
sons why one who is moderately sue
cessful in the east should remain at
home and not seek to court fortune in
new and untried folds. There are
hardships and privations to be endured
of which people in the older poi ton of
of the country know nothing, and the
game may not, after all, be worth the
candle, even lift is caught. But it is
true that there are wider fields for en-
terprise and more abundant OppOrtuni-
ties for making money in some parts of
the far west, especially for persons who
possess only limited capital than in
most of the cities and towns on the At
lantic coast. Young men who go west,
he continues, must be prepared to rough
it, to take things as they come and make
the best of them and if they go to the
mining regions, have capital and know
about the business. The
of success in the west, he
says, are precisely the same as in the
east. Whiskey drinking, gambling, ri
otOus living, lack of industry or appli-
cation are generally just as fatal to all
hope of advancement there as here, and
the temptations are tenfold greater.
But the prizes are greater and are more
won there than in the east.
