THE POSITIONS OF GARFIELD AND HANCOCK

Ibeg our Republican friends to look at the
attitude of Mr.. Garfield with regard to the
Constitution, and see If 1t is one that shows
loyalty to its provisions. 1t is the charter of
casions sworn to uphold It. On the 18th of
March next ne will, as q Senator from Ohio,
take solemn oath to support its provisions.
The Senate was organized to assert and de-
fend the letter and its spirit. Dees the con-
duct of Mr.. Garfield accord with these Oaths?
He avoids the use of the titles it gives the

way Mr. Garfield treats the law which makes
the life Of our Union. In view Of his efforts to

On the Atchison, Topeka q Santa Fe rail
road 1t is stated that work progresses rapidly
down the Rio Grande river in the direction OF
Fl Paso, and that the grading is completed so
miles south Of Albuquerque, and from one
and half to two and q quarter miles OF track
is now being laid per day. Work is also pro-
crossing on the Kingman survey as far west as
New Fort Wingate about 100 miles west ot
Albuquerque. 1t passes through the southern
portion of the San Carlos Indian reservation,
crosses the White River mountains above San
Carlos, down into ella Canyon to point a
few miles above Old Camp Grant, and thence
around the western base of Santa Catarina
mountains to Tucson. In regard TO the line
from Guaymas north, the Tucson citizen says
There will be two surveys made one to the
RIO Grande, to strike some sixty miles north
Of FL Paso, and one to Tucson, but 1t is the
general impression of all men connected with
the road that 1t is to go direct to Tucson, and
that a branch will be butt from the main line
west to Prescott, which will afford an outlet
for the northern portion of the Territory. AS
the Kingman route so far has been graded on

was about to close the door when the boy
broke loose: please ma'am, buy one of them
frames. My father is one Of the richest mer-
chants in New York and owns three or four
steamship lines My brother has his shirt
fastened on real diamond breastpin as big as
a hen egg" The lady looked as if she was
uncertain whether to FAINT or only to scream.

IN his hat and again proceeded to address the
chair: YES, ma'am; It's all So and that amt

you" He went out whistling. Then he
walked up and down the sidewalk like Hamlet.
There 1t is again. At the other house told

pompous young rooster, struts up and
demands the meaning thereof He gets
upon his "high heeled shoes" to such a
degree as to say in his last letter: "My
address will be Columbia, S. C. ~ This
is as much as to say, "When you want
to fight, you will know where to find
mel" Probably by the time he receiv-
ed his second letter, he found that John
Sherman didn't scare much, and that it
was himself that got slap in the face
without apologies.
Our secretary told Hampton the ma
ked truth when he said: "While you
and they enjoy the fruits of these crimes,
you may in logic and morals be classed,
and classed you are, as joint cOpartners
with the Ku-Klux KlaD." Or, in other
words, Wade Hampton owed his posi-
ton to day as United States Senator,
and other Southerners their places in
the government, to lawlessness and
crime; and that by this means Repub
licanism was virtually killed in the
South, whereby men like him had stol
en- honest mems rights. The time is
past when Northern men take fright at
the language of Southern hot-bloods
and we should think the time had ar
rived also, when men of the pretentIons
of Wade Hampton ought to have found
it out.

The Sunday Question.
From the Newport Express. !

A memorial has been presented to
the legislature asking for a law to pro-
hibit the running of railroad trains on
Sunday. We regard this as opportune,
and step in the right direction. The
running of Sunday trains is growing
evil. Every season witnesses an Increase
of the number of trains on that day,
and in few years, if this practice goes
on, the Sabbath will be undistinguisha-
BILE from other days, so far as the run
ming of trains is concerned. We appeal
to railroad managers if this practice
cannot be done away with, so that en-
plOyes can enjoy needed rest and qui-
ct, and the minds of Christian people,
at least, be no longer disturbed, and
above all, perhaps, that the stiffness
and worship peculiar to the New Eng
land Sabbath may be maintained.
From the Burlington Free Press.l
Of course the communities and church
es thus disturbed have right to ask
for the protection of the legislature.
The constitution of Vermont recognizes
the Christian Sabbath, in the third ar
ticle of the Bill of Rights, which de-
clares that "every sect or denomina-
