Seldom has such swift and full vim
dication come to vilifed public man
as in the case of General Arthur. His
nomination as Vice-President was in
itself enough, but now the Admins
tration papers are filled with lavish
praise of his honorable career and dis
tinguished and patriotic services. And
yet the time is not remote when these
same Administration papers were sus-
tanning the renegade Of the White
House in his Infamous crusade against
this same General Arthur.
Was General Arthur a better man
then than now, or have the spaniels
turned to lick the hand of a new mas
ter?

The Supreme Court recently (about
May 4th) gave its decision on the case
for some time pending, as to the pay
ment of additional rents to the Uni
versity, on the lands Of Athens and
Alexander townships of this county.
The case was the suit of James r. Ca
BILE ct al. VS.. the President and Trust
ees of the Ohio University, and the
Supreme Court held: "The payment
of the additional rent which the Pres
ident and Trustees of the Ohio Uni
versity are authorized to demand un-
der the proviso of Sec. 10 of the act of
February, 1904, is not required to be
stipulated for in the leases made under
the act; nor are the leases required to
contain such stipulation by the
amendatory act of 1905 in order to
Justify the demand for such rent. The
right to make the demand springs from
the statute and is independent of any
express stipulation therefor in the
lease"
This decision gives to the Univer-
sity about $12, 900 down, the rent since
1876, and an additional sum of about
$4,000 per annum to the $4,000 or
ST, 900 that is now collected Ath-
ems Students Magazine.

The Right Kind of Talk.

During the dark days of the war,
while thousands of brave men were
nobly battling for the Nations life,
an ambitious Ohio copperhead named
Alexander Long, Of Cincinnati, advo-
Gated, in Congress, the recognition of
the Southern Confederacy. Gen. Gar
field made, in reply, his first speech in
the House, in which, among other
things, he said:
But nOw when tens of thousands of brave souls
have gone up to God under the shades of the flag;
when thousands more, MANNED and shattered in the
contest sadly awaiting the deliverance of death
now when three years of terrific warfare have ragged
mountains and rivers and crowded it into mar
row limits until roll of fire girds it, now, when the
uplfted hand of magnetic people is about to hur
bolts OF conquering power upon the rebellion;
now in the quiet of this hail. Matched in the lowest
depths of similar dark treason, there rises Bene-
dict Arnold and proposes to surrender all up, body
and SPIRIT the Nation and the Flag its genius its
honor now and forever to the accursed traitors
country And that proposition comes-God forgive
and pity my beloved State-it comes from q
the time -honored and loyal Commonwealth Ohio.
impore you brethren in this House, believe that
such as she suffered when that traitor was born,
beg not to believe that the soil of that State
another such growth has deformed the face of
Nature and darkened the light of Gods days.

Custom House, and personally he is
probably the most popular man in
business circles in the great American
metropolis"
The Herald further admits that
General Garfield has been compli-
mented by the Convention in giving
him as his associate on the ticket so
excellent and worthy man, and one
who will draw to it hosts of friends in
the only North State in which Sc
we're struggle for success is to be ex-
pected."
The Leader has also discovered that
General Arthur lis stalwart among
the stalwarts, and Republican to the
backbone" also that ''all his sympa-
thies have been with the great party
that first demanded freedom for the
enslaved." Concerning his appoint
ment and reappointment as Collector
Of the Port, the Leader says that in
1871 he was appointed, without any
request on his part, Collector of the
Port of New York. In 1875, at the
urgent solicitation Of the business
classes Of New York, he was reap
pointed. He held this position with
signal ability and received numerous
marks of approval and confidence from
those with whom he was thrown in
contact"
These are pleasant morsels for the
contemplation Of Hayes during the
coming dog days.

The nomination of James A. Gar
field this afternoon recalls conversa-
ton | lately had with his cousin, the
Hon. William Letcher, of Williams
county, concerning him. Mr.. Letcher
was brought up in the same house al
most as Senator Garfield, and he has
known him intimately since the day of
his birth. In response to my question
as to whether he knew Garfield he re-
piled: ''Yes, sir; knew him before he
ever knew himself. [ nursed him as a
baby, went to school with him as a
boy, and have been constantly associ-
ated with him either in person or by
letter as man. His father was my
uncle, and we were brought up in little
settlement in Orange township, Cuya-

Cleveland. James Abraham Garfield

From Burlington.

To the Editor of the Standard:
Our little village was visited by a
storm on Wednesday evening that
played havoc with everything. The
storm came from the northwest be-
tween eight and nine o'clock, and
lasted some fifteen minutes. The
wind was terrific, sweeping everything
before it, while the hail fell in tor
rents, riddling what the wind left.
Some Of the hail stones were as large
as hulled walnuts. Fortunately no
one in town was seriously hurt, but
one; boy by the name Of Mckee was
beaten terribly by the hail.
The gardens are all destroyed; about
all that is left in any of them is few
potatoes, and they look as if an army
Of potato bugs had stripped them
selves and gone in worse than the
Goss-Ryan affair. Trees were thrown
every way, and windows riddled, many
not having pane left.
Davidson & Son lost roof on store,
and glass from store and residence,
damage about 1926. What it will be
on his farm he don't know. He lost
all his wheat, oats and corn; fences all
blown down.
John G. Wilson had the front of
his store taken off. His damage is
between three and four hundred dol
liars. Of two fine orchards he has
four trees left in one, and two in an
other.
The damage to the NJ E. Church
parsonage is good garden, that trav-
eled off to parts unknown, one hum
dred window lights, and carpets, beds,
&C., wet through.
1t is worse for John Pigman than
any others in town. He has worked
hard, and put all his money in a coop
er shop, and stocking it with tools and
coopers' stuff. The shop was blown
down, and some Of it carried across
four-acre field. Tools were smashed
and broken. While others have the
means to repair, he has nothing. The
young men of this place intend put
ting up his shop again, and will try to
replace his tools.
In the country the storm was harder.
A young man by the name of Ad-
kins was returning from Ironton, and
the hail beat his horse until the ami
NAL became frightened and threw him
off. He then took shelter under
tree and tie tree blew down on him,
but he managed to crawl out, and
took refuge in a log hut. This was
soon demolished, and he then thought
he would try to make it home. The
hail beat him fearfully, and at last ac-
counts he was not expected to live.
The damage at present can not be
estimated. As soon as | get correct
accounts from the country | will drop
you another line. BARNEY.

Christian Perfection.

About the time Of the departure of
the editor of the Advocate for the
East there was received at this Office a
rather indignant postal card from a
highly respected brother in regard to
an editorial under the above head
which appeared in the Advocate two
weeks ago.
We do not see what there was in
Dr. Acton's article to which any fol-
lower of Mr. Wesley can object. The
Methodist Church has always taught
the doctrine of perfect love" or
christian perfection" as an attain
ment not as blessing separate and
distinct from conversion, but as the
upgrowth or outgrowth of truly
converted or spiritual child. This is
the teaching of the fathers in Meth
odism, and this is the teaching of the
Bible. We not only think but know
that the teaching Of well-intentioned
but imprudent persons on this subject
has done great deal more harm than
good; and we do think it is time that
our dear brethren who are quoting
Mr.. Wesley as authority for teaching
'sanctifcation" or "Christian perfec-
tion" as separate blessing were learn
ing that it is not true and that as a
matter of fact he never taught any
thing of the kind. In his sermon on
the New Birth, vol. LIST, page 400, he
says: when we are born again then
our sanctiication, our inward and out
ward holiness begins; and thencefor-
ward we are gradually to grow up in
Him who is our Head. There is an
exact analogy between natural and
spiritual things" Again: "a child
is born of woman in moment or at
least in very short time. Afterward
he gradually and slowly grows till he
attains to the stature of a man. In
like manner child is born Of God in
a short time, If not in moment. But
it is by slow degrees that he after
wards grows up to the full measure of
the full stature Of Christ. The same
relation IT, lerefore which there is be-
tween our natural birth and our
growth, there is also between our new
birth and our sanctifcation." Again:
From the time of our first turning
to God, Sanctlhcatlon is a progressive
work carried on in the soul by pro-
gressive degrees"
Again in his sermon ON Gods Vine
yard, -2nd vol, page 800, he says:
Regeneration is the first entrance
upon sanctifcation. And as in the
natural birth man is born at once.
and then grows larger and stronger by
degrees; so in the spiritual birth,
man is born at once, and then gradu-
ally increases in spiritual stature and
strength. The new birth, therefore,
is the first point in sanctifcation
which may increase more and more
unto the perfect day." If these decla-
rations teach anything, they teach
that perfect love" or christian per-
fection" were in Mr.. Wesley's belief
the result of years of striving and
growth.

CAmerican Christian Review.]

GENERAL JAMES A. GTRFIELD, re-
Gently nominated by the Chicago Re
publican Convention for the Presi-
dency of the United States, is MEM
Der of the Church of Christ, and has
been for about thirty years. He will
soon be fifty years of age. We are
glad to record the fact that, besides
being a statesman of acknowledged
ability, his private life has been pure,
and that his Christian character is
without a stain. If the Democratic
party shall nominate a man for the
same exalted position, bearing as clean
a record in morals and sobriety as that
of Garfield, the nation may well have
cause to rejoice. We have known
Bro. Garfield personally for about
twenty-five years, and during all that
time have known him as an humble
Christian, unpretentious in his profess
sion, magnanimous and liberal heart
ed, honest, faithful and philanthropic,
with head and heart ready to serve
in the humblest cause of humanity
The last time we were in Washington
City we found him teaching Bible
class in the Sunday school Of very
obscure church. He is one of the
biggest-hearted Christian men we ever
met. We have spoken these few
words in praise of Bro. Garfield as a
Christian citizen, and not as politi-
clan, because we think our brethren at
large feel pleased that so distinguished
an honor has been conferred on one OF
our brethren. 1t does not belong to
the character of the Review to speak
of his politics or of his political creed
That information must be found in
political organs.

next President was forced to leave,
and our conversation closed.
General Garfeld's nomination is re-
ceived with great enthusiasm by all
the people l have met since p. m.
to-day, when the nomination was an
nounced. Two nights ago, when I
interviewed him at Chicago as to his
prospects for the nomination, or as to
a move in his favor, he secuted the
idea, and told me nothing of the kind
would be sanctioned by him. He was
for John Sherman, and if he could
better himself a thousand fold by
doing so, he would rather lose all than
break his faith with Mr.. Sherman. He
said he was not a candidate, and he
would not be as long as Sherman stood
any chance of being nominated.

A Summers Romance.

They met, and when the fair one gazed
Upon his whiskers fine,
She felt that she had found at last
The paragon divine.
They courted through the summer months,
And married in the fall;
She gave her heart and hand, and he
Gave beard, mustache and all.
One night they passed in pleasant dreams.
A happy welded pair,
But, ah, alas the next morn's light
Brought sorrow and despair.
The count arose and washed his face,
But fear overwhelmed his soul;
The glue had started, and he left
His whiskers in the bowl.
The wife looked up; she saw his face
Smooth as new mOwn lawn,
Save here and there a single hair,
His whiskers all were gone.
She swooned and fell upon the floor,
Her reason overthrown;
The count secured her jewelry,
And left for parts unknown.

The dainty dream of ours,
When we could not keep our feet, dear
From dancing through the fiow'rs;
When hopes and gay rOmances
Were thick as leaves in Spring,
And cares were old folks fancies,
And joy the solid thing.
OF all youths visions blest, dear,
OF all its golden dow'rs,
o, the young love was best, dear,
That dainty dream of ours!
o, the old love is sweet, dear,
These chill October days,
When we tread with faltering feet, dear,
The sere and silent ways,
When earth has lost its glory,
And Heav'n has lost Its blue,
And life's sober story,
And care comrade true.
Though hopes no longer cheat, dear,
And dreams have lost their sway,

That gilds the Autumn day!

Defy us now who canl

We'll meet the battles brunt,
Far in the moving front,
And never yield;

And our last victOry's won,
Wen shout, in Washington,
