Stephen J. Field was born in Had
dam, Conn.,, on Nov. 4, 1916. He was
nearly three years old when his father
removed to Stockbridge, Mass. He at
tended a country school. and was an
apt scholar. He was boy of pluck
and endurance, and was held to the
line of Congregationalism with diff
Guilty. The Mosaic law had more charms
for him than the new dspensation. His
schoolmates found it dangerous to knock
a chip from his shoulder. If he re-
ceived blow, he returned it with in
terest. He was no better and no worse
than the average minister's son.
In 1929 Stephens sister Emilia mar
ried the Rev. Joseph Brewer, a returned
missionary. Through Mr.. Brewers
exertions a society in New Haven be-
came interested in the education of
Greek females. Greece had fairly
thrown off the Turkish yoke, and the
heroic conduct eff Marco Bozzaris and
the massacre of Scio had excited great
sympathy in this country. Henry
Clay's eloquent appeals in behalf of the
struggling patriots had thrilled the
II.
Rev. Mr.. Brewer and his wife were Sc
lectef. to establish the proposed schools
for the adueation of Greek girls. Emilia
wanted her brather Stephen, then IS
years old, to accom- paDy her. He had
natural aptitude for the acauiren.ent
of languages. His brother David Dud-
ley urged him to accept the invitation,
to study the Oriental languages during
his absence, and to fit himself for pro-
fessOrship of Oriental literature. Ste
phen embarked with his sister and her
husband. The vessel was cleared for
Smyrna. On their arrival at the city
the English missionaries persuaded the
Rev. Mr.. Brewer to abandon his origi-
nal idea of establishing the schools in
Greece. He was convinced that his
sphere of usefulness would be much
greater in Asia Minor. 4 school was
opened in Smyrna.
Young Stephen remained in the East
two years and half. He visited Pat.
mos, Scio and other islands, and spent
a winter in Athens. On one of his
trips he was wrecked on the Greek
coast, and narrowly escaped with his
life. He acquired the Turkish, Greek,
Italian and French languages. He
spoke modern Greek as readily as his
mother tongue, and kept his diary in
that language. He was in Smyrna
during the cholera season of 1881. and
saw the ravages Of the plague in 1892
Over SO, 900 persons left the city during
the first epidemic, Mr., Brewer remained
in Smyrna, and spent much time in the
alleviatiOn of the distress of the suffer
ers. He filled his pockets with medi-
cines, and visited patients daily. Ste
phen went with him on these errands

A Fair Request.

Again, in all candor and seriousness and
with an honest purpose to get all possible
light ON a question of the utmost gravity,
we respectfully ask the able journals that are
advocating the election of General Garfield,
to make some explanation of the De Golyer
fee
1t is not calumny, it is not SANDER. 1t is
not abuse to say that this matter demands
explanation. 1t is the simple truth mildly
and fairly put to say that, as the business
now stands, il involves General Garfield i'm a
transaction that was simply infamous when
we remember the position he held and the
purpose for which the s., 900 fee was paid.
1t will not do for the Republican managers
of the Republican press to ignore this matter
under the belief that the people care moth
ing about il. Had this charge been sprung
for the first time since the Chicago Conven-
ton was held it might be disposed of as a
campaign roorback. A
But it is an old charge of Republican orr
GIN 1t has been repeated again and again
in Republican journals, and no man has
given any explanation of it who has not left
the matter in quite as bad shape as he found
il. .lr-
General Garield's testimony clears up
nothing, removes not a single doubt, but
leaves the impression on every candid mind
that the money was paid him to secure his
influence, as Chairman OF the Appropria-
tons Committee, in. favor of one of the most
outrageous swindles ever perpetrated on any
eople. ~
If there be any possible way.of showing
that there was no corruption in this trans
action the friends of General Garfield ought
not to neglect for another day the presenta-
ton of the matter in a better light before
the country. r-,
What honest thing was General Garfield
expected TO do for that 5000?
What honest work could ring that had
raised fund for the sole purpose of buying
enough influence 10 secure the adoption of a
rejected pavement, want General Garfield to
do for that s., 900? b
And, finally, what service did he render?
These are pertinent questions and they
ought to be answered

A Republican Outrage.

From the New York World, August %, 1Ss0.1
1t must be especially aggravating to our
esteemed Republican contemporaries to see,
on looking over the political field outrage,
outrage everywhere, but never a one to
print There was negro shot dead during
a political procession in Mississippi, but as
he was not a Republican he might for all
practical purposes have remained upper
forated. Mr.. Balaam White of South Car
DINA, an ''inoffensive, peaceable colored
man." was recently "brutally assaulted on
account of his political opinions and badly
cut and beaten" but he was aDemocrat and
doesn't count. At Montgomery, Ala, it
was attempted to murder Lafayette Thomas,
colored, for exercising his right of suffrage
as an American citizen, but as Mr. Thomas
voted the Democratic ticket he met with
little sympathy from our es-
teemed contemporaries When it was
heard that at Montgomery Prince
Smith had been bound over to stand his
trial for endeavoring TO prevent George
Washington, a colored man. from voting, a
thrill of gladness ran through the Republic
screeds expressing exultation that, in the
midst of the brutal and bulldozing South,
there was at least one Federal official found
to protect the poor colored man; but when
they came 10 examine the subject more
closely, and discovered that Mr.. Prince
Smith was a Republican and George Wash
ington was Democrat and the Court,
whose protecting arm was invoked, was a
State tribunal, the articles were filed for
future reference in the waste-basket. Then
there were four cases reported in the Florida
Key of the Gulf of negroes attacked and
wounded for their political opinions, but
here again their political opinions were
Democratic. Altogether, the Republicans
in the outrage business have, of late, been
in the predicament of the historical newsboy

3, 900, which. according to his own state
ment, he took from the De G0sysr party OF
spectators with the understanding that he
was 20 prepare brief on the merits on plher-
ent kinds OF pavement, and TO advocate the
particular description of pattern Represented
by his clients, manifestly renders him liable
to conviction under the section cited
above. The taking of that fee would have
been punishable crime if Garfield had not
been Chairman of the Committee on Appr0-
priations He had no right, while acting as
q representative of the people and exercis-
ing the power of voting away their money,
TO receive any compensation whatever,
directly or indirectly, for any services rem
dered or to be rendered TO any person,
either by himself or another, in relation to
any proceeding, contract, etc, in which the
United States is party, directly indi-
rectly interested" But it was a specially
grievOus crime for Garfield TO take
that fee, because it was particularly import
ant that his integrity should be above sus-
picion, while he was acting as Chairman OF
the Committee on Appropriations, and he
added to the enormity of his fragrant offense
by Observation-Disclosures zeal and earnest
ness in urging the passage OF the appropria-
ton bill by which the Washington pave
ments were paid for with the money of the
American people.
When il is considered that Garfield's
crime is of such a character that the Repub-
lican Lawmakers have formally declared, in
the existing and just statute cited aboye,
that it should forever render men who per
petrate it incapable OF holding any National
office, and that. in the face of this disquali-
fication, Garfield is kept in the field as a
candidate for the highest office in the gift of
the people, the exhibition of hypocrisy be-
comes too revolving to be tolerated in an en-
lghtened Republic.
