The Presidency.


There is no qualification for the Presidency
more vital than unblemished integrity. Over
and above all other things, the executive
head of this Nation should be an honest
man. He should be not only pure, but
above suspicion in all matters affecting his
pecuniary relations with governmental af-
fairs. There are so many c0gent reasons
for the recognition of this palpable
truth, that, until the present year, no
party has ever dared to defy them. 1t is
vain to talk of the pure administration of
subordinate local affairs if a man tainted
with corruption is placed in the highest
station within the gift of the people. The
whole tone of American politics will be
lowered if the verdict rendered III November
next. gives the slightest reason for the be-
lief that tampering with grave public trusts
will be tolerated. In our free and easy
way we have already done far
too much to make it possible for men
with blemished regulations to obtain in
ferior offices. We know that councilmen,
legislators and congressman, who are not
above accepting bribes, have been elected
and re-elects d. but instead of sinking to
lower depths by extending tolerance of Off
cial knavery to the claimants for higher
grade of honors the welfare of the Nation
imperatively requires the reverse process.

center spar rises to such a height that
steamers readily pass beneath il. 1t is made of
steel. The inspecting party was composed of
about sixty prominent railroad engineers and
railroad officials from different sections Of the
country, and a considerable number of jour
nalists All of these gentlemen express
themselves as thoroughly satisfied with the
test. This new departure in railroading is re-
garded as highly important in this part of the
country, as it may lead to results beneficial to the
public
