A Critic Criticised.

To the Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: The Gaaette Of last Sunday criticlses
the following sentence in Mr.. GarHeld's dc.
nia of the Morey letter:
"It Is the work of some clumsy villain who
cannot spell nor write the English language,
nor initiate my handwriting"
The Gaaehe remarks, "Mr. Garfield should
have known that the negative not in sem
tence like the above requires or and not
"nor TO complete III the sentence grammatic.
ally"
If the sentence read some clumsy william
who can spoil or wIito the English language
or initiate my handwriting" it would mean
that the villain could do one Of the three
things, but not all of them. Ii we change
tho sentence to read "Who cannot spell or
write English or initiate my handwriting" II
means that there is one of these things which
the villain cannot do. But Mr.. Garfield
meant that the villain could do none of the
three things mentioned, and this idea was COR
rectly expressed
The Gazette suggests that Mr., Garfield should
have written: ut is the work Of some clumsy
villain who cannot spell or write English, noi
can he initiate my hand writing" This form
expresses Mr.. Garheld's idea correctly enough
but his own expression, being perfectly gram
matical and so much more clear, concise auC
vigorous, il would be preferred by anyone bu
clumsy critic. X.

A NEW CAnINEr.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is not cabi-
net building, but in the light Of history,
in the interest of the country and of the
republican party, IL may express opinions
rs TO the class Of men whom President
GARFIELD should select as his comstitu-
tional advisers.
There is no question NJ 70 what was the
leading idea, what made an almost solid
north confront a solid south that reversed
majority of 1900 in Indiana and $4,000
in New York, and that gave in the north
nearly 100000 popular majority for the re-
publican candidates.
That leading idea was fear of southern
rule" The free people of the north rose in
their might TO rebulse the methods that
have made the south soldly democratic
Fhe people have said that "rifle clubs and
bulldozers shall no longer rule the republi-
can states of the south"
The administration should be formed to
carry out the will of the people. No com.
promiscrs, no sentimentalists should have
any part in it. The administration can.
not, nor does any one desire it TO, oppress
the south. But if it is composed of mer
who reflect the verdict of the people rem
dered at the polls on the 81 of November
IL can and will enforce the laws and pro
tect every citizen in the exercise of al
duties and privileges.
If it finds the laws now in existence in
efficient TO do this it can ask congress t
make additional ones, and congress will re
spond to its demand.
If an administration is formed compose,
ofmen determined to see that every citize
shall have the privilege of voting rs Ii
pleases and of having that vote honestl
counted, the republican party has cntere
upon q new career of glory and will hav
earned a new lease of power for an indef

THE CRY or FRAUD AND CORRUPTION.
The cry of corruption and fraud raised
by the couuptionists in New York city
should cause no alarm anywhere. 1t is
the dust they are raising under which to
hide their own rascalities, and it will end
when it has fully accomp lished that pur-
pose. This cry is based upon the increased
republican vote in the cities of New York
and Brooklyn. The business men, mer-
chants, bankers manufacturers, traders and
workers who have taken no interest in
politics heretofore were aroused TO activity
in the late contest, and have taken sides
strongly with the republican cause. This
accounts for the increased republican vote
and there is no more fraud and corruption
in this phenomenal political feature Of the
contest than if the same number Of inert
voters had been excited to activity in any
other locality The trouble with the demo.
Gratis is that their leaders lost theil
grip upon the democratic laboring mer
under the dangerous dogmas of theii
party platform, and hence a large percent
/ age Of their votes were lost TO the demo
cratic candidates. This fact, allied to thai
of a sudden awakening among the republi
can stay-at-homes, which brought then
into active political life, accounts for til,
increased republican vote, which is nov
attributed to other and improper causes
and which is made the pretext for entering
upon a line of revolutionary action to dis
tuF5 aud alarm the country.
The cry of fraud may be kept up in tn
democratic press for the purpose of ogita
tion, but nothing beyond that will be ac
eompished. The late election, 40 far q
the state of New Yorl; is concerned, wa
unusually peaceful and honest, and the re
suit cannot be disturbed by the howls an,
threats of the defeated, unless they max
an attempt at revolution. Should despera
tion prompt 10 such q course, then III
popular will will be vndicated by the pee
pie themselves. They arc tired of thi
clamor and agitation, and when the howlcr
aud agitators step beyond the bounds G
noise and enter upon revolutionary actio
in earnest then the hand Of the people wi

THE correspondent Of the Hour In his last letter
gives an interesting but depressing picture Of the
agricultural condition Of Italy. over 200OOOOO
acres Of the fairest land in that once famous agr
cultural region lay waste and almost sterile for
want Of ofcutivation. The Italian landowners the
vast majority of whom are mobiles. utterly neglect
their ancestral domains. lThey spend fabulous
sums upon costly furniture, town palaces rare an
tiques beautiful pictures and statuary, but not one
lira upon the land which might with but slight
excrton quadrupe their incomes. The italian
peasant is not lazy, but he sutTers.both from the
wicked indifference Of the landowner and
his own lack Of knowledge or skill
The tools he uses arc antequated aud the same
with which his grandfather TILED the soil. His
lord will not hear Of modern Improvements either
In machinery or methods Of agriculture Some
are even proud OF their wnste land and will neither
lease nor sell. There Is hardly all Italian peasant

FIVE years export wheat rather than buy II. new
era Is vaguely shadowed forth by the efforts OF a
few liberal deputies in the parliament to procure
the taxing of titles aud tho remission Of taxes

the waste land and preserves beyond certain pre-
scribed acreage about each domain to be thor
oughly used, either as vineyards or grain and

THE MISSING EDITOR.

No information received at the Office of The
Musician Dramatic Times yesterday of its editor
John G. Frcund, who disappeared on the 10Th. As
no reply has been received to Mr.. Humphreys
telegram, giving a description Of Mr. FreuDds
travelling bag, it is now thought that the valisc
found at Springfield. Mass. on Friday was not the
property Of MI Frcuud after all, and that there is
little foundation for a theory OF suicide
The creditors Of Mr. Frcund have taken no action
in regard to the appointment OF "a receiver. No one
seems TO be willing TO begin any legal proceeding,
and nearly all express confidence that he will return.
Mr.. Humphrey stated yesterday that lie saw no
reason why The Musical and dramatic Times should
suspend publication. It's regular publication day
was Thursday, but owing to the confusion
attendant upon sherif's seizure of the Office it had
been unable to issue on that day.
