TIE Pittsburgh Dispofch expresses its
belief that there would be nothing wrong
or out OF place in Mr. Garfield taking
the stump. of which there is not the
slightest danger. Why would he do SO
unless to explain away his dealings with
Oakes Ame5 in Credit Mobiller stock,
and the $1,000 he admits he received
from the DE GOlyer pavement company.
It would be a sorry sight to see James
y Garfield stand up before crowd and
attempt to show that the S32J for which
Ames gave him u check on the Sergeant
at-Arms of the House was "a loan and
not the balance due him, after the enOr-
nous dividends on the stock had cNtin-
guished its nominal price, 81, 900; or TO
listen to him attempting 10 satisfy an
audience how he as an honest man, while
holding the position of chairman of the
Committee on appropriations, could
take a fee of 5000 from a patent pave
ment company to procure for it a con-
tract with the Washington city authori-
ties, the money to pay which could alone
be appropriated by his own committee.
Only four years ago Mr.. Garfield at
tempted to do all this in pamphlet adj
dressed to his own Republican constitu-
ents, but it failed 20 convince them, for
they not only passed resolutions at a
mass meeting in his district bitterly de-
nouncing him, but nominated a caudi-
date against him. Itissafe to say, there
fore. that the Dispatch will not have
the pleasure of hearing its candidate
on the stump-at least not during the
present campaign.

TIE Republican organs in this State

Goodhart, of Reading, who claims to be
a Democrat, gives as a reason why he
intends to vote for Garfield, that che is
the first and only professed Christian
who WAS ever nominated for the Presi-
dency." This reminds us Of the fact
that when the Poland committee, in
February, 1873, made their report inn
plicatiug COlfaE, Garfield, and some 9th

corrupt Credit MObilier business, Ben
Butler winked his cock-eye and casually

GEORGE W. NJ M'CRARY, of Iowa, who
was one of the three Republicans on the
Poland committee which Investigated
Garfield transactions with Oabes Ames,
has been thinking over the matter since
Garfield became candidate Tor Presi-
dent. and is reckless enough to say over
his own signature that General Garfield
had done no wrong, and Democrats and
Republicans united in so reporting"
This is a most lame and impOtent con-
clusion and is in the very teeth of the
report which MrCrary signed in 1878,
and of which the following is an extract:
The facts in regard to Garfield, as found
bV the committee, are that he agreed with
Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobi-
heT stock, but did not so pay for the same.
Mr. AmeS received the 80 per cent. dividend
i'm bonds and sold them for - per cent, and
also received the 60 per cent. cash dividend,
which, together with the price OF the stock
and interest left balance of 1929. This
sum was paid over to Mr.. Garfield by check
on the scrgeant-at-armS, and Mr.. Garfield
then understood this sum was the balance OF
dividends after paying for the stock.
If MCrary believed the foregoing
statement to be true when he signed the
report he deserves to be branded as a
liar now, because his two positions are
utterly and hopelessly inconsistent with
each other and cannot stand together.
His dilemma is precisely like that of
Poland and Banks, his two Republican
colleagues on the committee. They
were all honest enough IN 1873 to report
the truth about Garield's negotiations
with Ames. and to stand by it. but in
1880, when Garfield has become the can
/ didate of their party for the Presidency,
they rush into print as the apologists OF
the man they arraigned in their report
as guilty of perjury and corruption. II
is too thin and il is too late.

The History Of the Tomato.

1t is popular fallacy that the lus-
cious and health-preserving tomato has
its origin as an article of food in this
country. But while there is some
reason to believe it was first found in
South America it was evidently culti-
waited centuries ago in Mexico and
Peru. Dodoeus, the Netherland her
balist, mentions the tomato as early as
1883 as vegetable to be eaten with
pepper, salt and oil. 1t belongs to the
nightshade family and was used in
cooking by the Malays more than q
century and a half since. It is extern
sively raised in Southern Italy, and
employed there as an accompaniment
to nearly every dish, particularly to
macaroni. But neither there nor any
where else in Europe, is it commonly
eaten, as it is here, separately and in
quantities. In England it is sparingly
produced, requiring a hot bed in the
spring, and is in consequence high
priced. The Italians formerly called
it golden apple and now call it love
apple, rs it was once designated in this
country. The appearance of the To-
mato on the table has great increased
in Europe. Z
