The Nashville american thinks that
Mr.. Garfield occupies a position pecu-
harly favorable to a thorough and
searching investigation of the doings of
the star route ring. 1t reasons that The
cares nothing for Hayes administration
and its reputation. He occupies far
better position than BIr. Hayes, and is
in a position to rake his administration
fore and aft. Occupying better moral
plane, he doubtless has the secret con-
tempt for Hayes and the way he came
into office which all Republicans feel
and some openly declare. Having been
subjected to serious charges himself, and
having gone in clear of all connection
with any such political rascality as
placed Hayes in Office, he will naturally
desire to show the world by his
manner Of dealing with rascalitY that he
has been unjustly suspected. He was
elected Notwithstanding the charges made
against him, and now he is in position
every way to proceed to the bitter end in
hunting down rascality, and if such
course shall injure the party it will not
injure him, and will benefit the country,
1t takes a broad man, when surrounded
by party friends urging concealment
and threatening loss of future support,
to GO forward resolutely in such a course;
but for a man who can rise to that height
there is personal honor and fame, even
If there be also the destruction of party
to which he belongs"

Tell.Tale Statistics.

Mr.. Frye, in his recent bilious dia-
tribe against the South, took occasion
to declare that, while ignorance and
misery prevailed in the bright Sunland,
the people of bleak New England were
the happiest and best paid under the sun.
Unfortunately, the Senator from Name
either did not speak by the card, or he
is in dense ignorance of the
real condition of affairs in his
own section. The Louisville Courier
Journal, unfortunately for the gentle
man from New England, has collated
from the recent report of Mr.. Carroll d.
Wright, of the Massachusetts, Bureau of
Labor and Statistics, some facts and
figures about labor hours and compensa-
ton in that enlightened and cultured
portion of the universe, which hardly
sustains Mr.. Frye's assertion.
According to Mr.. Wrights report, in
the mills of Maine men are paid 81 90
week, and women get only s. so, while
the little children receive from 50 25 to
s. 40 in the wooden mills, which pay the
largest wages. One paper mill in Maine
pays men so so a week and women
S. so, working seventy two hours
week. In New Hampshire the wages
are much lower than those paid in
Maine, and the operatives are
required to work sixty-six hours
in the week. In Rhode Island the
wages are little higher, with sixty-six
hours of work during the week. In Con-
necticut operatives work ninety hours
week-fifteen hours day for six days
and the wages are 80 for men, 81 so for
women, So 10 for male children and
81 80 for female children The highest
spinners' wages are So. In Msssachu-
sets from sixty-three to sixty-six hours
of labor a week are exacted, and spin
ners only get 81 O8 day; the highest
class of labor in the mills not exceeding
$40 to $12 for the men.
Commenting on the above statistics,
the Courier Journal not only deems Mr..
Frye's statement completely refuted, but
derives therefrom satisfactory theory
as to the prevalence of intemperance in
New England, for it winds up its article
with the following parting shot:
1.-The statistician remarks that long
hours and poorly paid labor tend to
brutalize, and, as he shows that one
manufacturing town in Massachusetts,
supports 400 rum holes, it looks as if the
long hours and poor wages system drives
men and women to the flowing bowl. "

1t is claimed by Mrs. Washington, of
WestmOreland county, Virginia, a de-
scendant Of George Washington, that
the spot selected by ex-SecretarY Evarts
for the monument to mark Washington
birthplace is not the proper locality; that
she knows the exact spot where the old
house in which Washington was born
stood, and it is some distance from the
point selected for the monument.

The courtesy of the Senate" of
which we hear so much just now, means
simply that no Senator shall vote for any
nomination by the President for any
Office in any State unless such nomina-
ton shall meet the approval of the Sena-
tors from that State. If this doctrine is
to prevail, the President might at once
yield up his constitutional right to make
nominations, and turn the whole matter
over to the Senate, to be fixed up as the
members Of that body shall determine,
for, under the courtesy" rule, the Chief
Executive becomes less than a figure

Even that ultra radical organ, the
Chicago Tribune, cannot justify the star
route thieves. 1t is forced to admit that
even if they did send a portion of their
money to Indiana to purchase that State
for the Republicans, it does not lessen
the enOrmity of their crimes. The
Tribune is right. To the contrary, it is
but an exaggeration of their crimes.

Pending a rehearing in court the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury has revoked the
circular reducing the duty on hosiery to
80 per cent. As long as manufacturers
must pay a duty Of SO per cent on wool
it is manifest they must have more than
IS per cent. on their product. But, the
Philadelphia Record properly suggests,
that If is no great comfort to the wearers
of knit goods that they are obliged to
pay IS per cent more for them in order
that they may be made in this country.

The New York Tribune is Of the opin-
ion that of all Postmaster Generals the
country has ever had, Mr.. James is the
most fortunate in his opportunities He
already has gained great renown for his
exposures of the star route frauds, and
now, that paper thinks, if he will only sit
down hard upon the lotteries in the
country, and refuse them the use of the
mails for carrying on their questionable
business, he will secure to himself ever
lasting fame.

In concluding an article on the change
Of administrations yesterday, the Elmira
Advertiser says "Cf the incoming ad-
ministration we have nothing to fear and
everything to hope. General Garfield is
a man of deeper and broader statesman
ship than his predecessor, and his long
experience in Congress has made him
familiar with the needs of the govern
ment and the people. We confidently
look for speedy and satisfactory solu-
tion of the Southern problem, and believe
the time is not far distant when the rights
of all classes Of citizens in that section
will be as firmly asserted and fully recOg
ed and protected as those of the North.
There will be an end to bull-dozing, vio
lence, intimidation and wholesale fraud,
and every voter ''can cast one ballot, and
have that ballot counted precisely as it
is cast" There is master-mind and a
strong hand at the helm, now; and, under
the blessing of Divine Providence, we
believe 'sthat all things may be SO order
ed and settled upon the best and surest
foundations that peace and happiness,
truth and justice, religion and piety, may
be established among us for all genera
tions." Farewell to President Hayes
A hearty welcome to President Garfield" !"

Mr.. Grows conduct with regard to the
late Senatorial contest has been criticised
even by some of his friends; but the fol-
lowing card from that gentleman ought
to set him right before the public; 1t was
addressed to the Harrisburg Telegraph.
Will you allow me space in your col
umns to correct a misapprehension,w which
see by the newspaper press of the State
is somewhat widely extended. That is,
that my withdrawal as candidate for
United States Senator was Influenced by
the expectation of being candidate for
Governor two years hence. Under no
circumstance would become q candidate
for Governor then or at any other time.
At the conference referred to with Mr.. Oh
iver, Senator Cameron and Col. Quay, to
which was invited, a few hours before
it took place, nothing was then said, or
at any other time by either or any Of them
about Governor, and no assurance, pledge
either, except that if candidate for U. S.
Senator was elected by agreement of both
divisions of the Republicans in the Leg
iSlature, that in that case such division
and the individuals composing it, were to
be regarded and treated alike in all re-
spccts as members Of the Republican par
ty. By-gones to be by-gones.
Each Of us, i. e., Senator Cameron Col.
Quay, Mr. Oliver and myself were to use
all our influence with whoever should be
elected to secure from him such recogni-
pated in the Senatorial conflict on either
side.
This was the clearly expressed under
standing of us all before any reference
was made as to any probable candidate
that might be agreed on by the Respec-
tive divisions. 1t was not understood
that we were to settle on a candidate in
case Mr.. Oliver and both Withdrew, but
names talked over were to be presented
merely as suggestions to the caucus of
each division for their action and ifeither
did not like one of the names presented
they would agree on some other.
My judgment had been clear for weeks
that if Mr.. Oliver should propose to with
draw as candidate, in the interest of
harmony for the party, that there would
be no proper course for me but to do the
same thing, and that was the expressed
opinion of large number of my sincere
friends. GALUSHA A. GROW.

x FRW FACTS
in regard to the
White
Sewing
Machine.

1t is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre-
eminent among tirst-class machines, for
it's simplicity and light-running qualities.
1t is mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all it's wearing parts are adjustable,
SO that lost motion can be ''taken up" in
an instant.
1t is an undisputed fact that the dura-
blity of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by written warranty for five
years.
1t is progressive fact that the White
embodes the most practical and useful
improvements Of other sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly its
own.
IL is a money-making fact that the
White is the easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
wide-awake dealers make it their speciality.
1t is gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it is
steadily and rapidly increasing i'll public
favor.
