THE VITAL QUESTION.

1t is all very well to discuss ques-
tions of finance, and show that the Re-
publican party has redeemed every
pledge, and that the country is pros
porous and does not demand IA
change. But there are graver and
more far reaching issues, and the ora
tors who hesitate to touch upon them
for fear they will be accused of ''wav-
ing the bloody shirt, fail of their du-
ty. and fail to touch the hearts of the
people.
Let a foreign nation fire upon our
ships, and wound or kill single man
who sails under the flag, and forth
with voice is heard from the author
tiles at Washington, and ECHOED froR
all the hills and valleys of the nation,
demanding that the injury shall be re-
dressed. Against foreign nations we
protect every citizen with the whole
power of the government. For the
slightest Insult TO a free citizen of this
commonwealth any foreign nation
would be called to a strict account by
the indignant voice of the people.
And yet we fold our hands and stop
our ears. and thank God for our boast
ed freedom and our land of liberty,
when our fellow citizens of the South
are intimidated with threats, hunted
with dogs. shot with guns, or driven
from their homes if they dare to as
sert their rights TO the privileges
guaranteed to them under the C0nsti-
tuition.

THE xLVIITH CONGRESS.

The result of the elections held
since the National Republican Conven-
ton in June last, encourages the hope
that with the election Of James A.
Garfield to the Chief Magistracy of
the Nation the control of the legisla-
tive branch of the United States
government will pass from the con-
troll of the Confederate Brigadiers. A
Republican gain of six United States
Senators in the XLVIIth Congress
would make that body tie, and with
Vice President Arthur as its presld-
ing officer, having the casting vote he
would make it Republican. OF the
six Republicans required to make the
Senate tie, Indiana and Ohio have
already assured two. and there is a
fair prospect that the States of Con-
necticut, New Jersey, New York and
PENNSYLVANIA will furnish the other
four. The business men generally,
and the immense manufacturing in
terests of the three last named States,
involving both capitalists and laborers,
are beginning to realize that Repub-
Iican success will best promote the
common welfare of all and as a conse-
quence are arraying themselves
against the Democratic party in num-
bers which point to its defeat. A gain
of seventeen members of the House OF
Representatives in the XLVIIth Con-
qress by the Republican party .will
again give it control of that body. or
this number ten have already been
gained in Oregon, Vermont, Indiana
and Ohio; of the remaining seven we
have faith to believe that Wisconsin
will furnish twO-One from the Fourth
district and one from the Sixth. The
election of Garfield and the redemp-
ton of both houses of Congress from
Confederate control will be glory
enough for one day, and will be con-
summation well worth its cost. Should
the hopes of Republicans in this re-
gard be justified by results of the No
vember election, and wise use of the
powers thus conferred upon the Repub-
lican party be made, it will long live
to administer the government of the
grandest Nation on aarth--a home for
the oppressed of every race-whose
governmental theory is founded up
on the eternal principles of justice, of
freedom, of right and of humanity.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The result of the October elections
is intensely gratifying to Republicans
everywhere, and renders the election
of James A. Garfield to the Presidency
IN November reasonably certain. The
election of the Republican State tick
ct in Ohio by an increased majority
over that given GOV rnor Foster in
1879, and the election of the entire
Republican State ticket in 1875, is an
indication of the fact that the people
are awakening to a full realization of
the grave responsibility which rests
upon them. A large Republican gain
in West Virginia is also shswn, though
not of sufficient magnitude TO Justify
any expectations that Garfield will
carry the electoral vote of that State.
The increased Republican majority in
Ohio, whose .'favorite SON. General
Garfield is, should be regarded as a
conclusive refutation of the malicious
ISLANDERS against the private character
of the Republican nominee so persist
emily repeated by the Democratic
press, as it can properly be regarded
a handsome endorsement of that gen.
tleman personally as well as of those
principles which, as the leader of
great party, he so ably represents.
The gallant Republicans of the Octo-
Der States have set an example worthy
the emulation of their party through
out the Union, one week from next
Tuesday, and have shown what grand
results may be attained by determined
and well directed efforts in a righteous
cause. Republicans should relax no
legitimate efforts to achieve success,
but rather be stimulated by recent
success to greater zeal in promoting
the cause of justice and humanity.

President receives most of the curses
for the defeat of his party in Hoosier-
dom.-Barnum, Hendricks, Mcdonald,
Landers, and a host of lesser lights,
hold English responsible for the de-
moralization of the Democratic party
in Indiana. English has bar'l-a big
one, well filled, too-and though he
loosened the spigot he utterly refused
to knock in the bung; to his obstinacy
in this matter their defeat is attribu-
ted. Ills a sad contemplation-for

As the Democratic platform of 1880
pledges that party anew to its doc
trines and traditions, the people are
justified in assuming that it is the
same now that it was under the ad-
ministrations of Franklin Pierce,
James Buchanan and Jefferson Davis;
that it endorses its record of States
rights, secession and defiance of the
Constitutional and lawful authority OF
the Government which involved the
Nation in civil war. viii the restora-
ton of a party which distinctly en-
dorses a record so reasonable and in
famous in its character, be for the
best interests of the people! We
think not. Candid men, study this

Washington conceded that should the
Republicans increase their majority in
Ohio and carry Indiana in October, the
election of Garfield must be conceded.
The Republicans have done this, and

commenced the experiment over for
forty days a few days ago in New York
under the strict supervision of physi-
CLANS. On the 4th inst, at 5 p. M,
when he had been fasting 125 hours,
he was interviewed by a reporter of
the New York Sun. A portion of the
interview as reported was as follows:
"Dr. Tanner, when you tasted for
forty-twO days in 1877, we're you at
any time disturbed by any such scenes
Of excitement as have so often oe-
CURED here?" asked the reporter of
the fasting man.
"Oh, no. was the reply. 81 was
then at Minneapolis, and hardly any
body besides my attending physician
knew anything about it,"
How did you come to undertake
such an experiment."
