One day your pain Will cease.
THE Newark Daily Adver tiser highly
representative OF the he
publican press, in commenting upon
the relations of General Garfield to the
Credit Mobilier says:
In dishonest politics something may
sometimes be done by starting caiumny
Immediately before the election, but 10
put spawned falsehnod on the course
at the beginning of the race is unWlse.

The July number of the Eclectic, be-
ginning a new volume, has partlcu-
larly fine steele engraving for frontis-
piece. 1t is entitled ssThe Frewn,.' and
illustrates the couplet from Goldsmith s
deserted village:"
"Ful well they laughed with counterfeited
At all his jokes, for many joke had he;
Full well the busy whisper, circllng round, ,,
Conveyed the dismal tidfngs when he frowned'',
The literary contents of the mum Der
are of somewhat lighter character
than usual, and show that the editor has
made concessions to the season when
the interest of readers in serious topics
is somewhat languid. Published by T..

No wonder that Senator Conkllng and
the Grant men regard themselves as the
real winners at Chicago when they see
the Anti-Grant reformers in the Repub-
lican party hard at work to show that
the dabbling of Congressman in stocks
the value of which his vote must affect
is a manner not of stpublic" but merely
Of private morals" OF the two Chicago
candidates, General Arthur to-day Is
really in the better poaition relatively
to the reformers of his party. NOBODY
has been driven to say for Generai
Arthur what the Boston Transcript says
of General Garfield.
Make the most they can of the Credit
Mobilier and De Golyer incidents, ana
they are but trifles in comparison with
the large and benefcent activities OF
Garfeld's public life!
The Gospel of st. Matthew must be
reedited in the interest of General Car
field-ssThou hast been faithless over
few things: will make thee ruler over
many things"
Our contemporary forgets that 1t was
the Republican party which "put a
spawned falsehood ON the course at the
beginning of the race'' for the benefit OF
General Garfield, Immediately after the
nomination at Chicago. How can DEM
ocrats be blamed for commenting in
1880 upon the connection with the Cred
it Mobilier of Republican candidate
for the Presidency with no more sever
ity than Republican journals themselves
used in commenting upon that connec-
ton when the Presidential candidate
was Congressman of 1873? When the
Times and Tribune and other Republl-
can journals which condemned General
Garfield in 1873 see fit to show why
their charges against the Congressman
do not apply to the Presidential candl-
date it will be in order to ascertain
whether those charges can be properly
described as ssspavined falsehOOds.'
Why does not the Newark Daily Aduer-
tiser republish from its own files Of 1873
its own comments upon the connection
of Congressman Garfield with Cakes
Ames?
