FhnaoeIpn0 Evening Te1oGraph, 8ep
There is no Philosophical reason why q
proposition to fund block Of public debt
at low rata Of interest should act upon
the average legislator In pretty much the
same way that red rag does upon bull.
This is the effect, however, that such pro-
positions seem to have. The Republicans
at the last session of Congress. it will be
remembered, fur;Ously opposed the
proposition to fund at per cent, basing
their opposition on the theories that
it was revolutionary and wicked, and
that, if adopted. the Democrats would
get the credit for it and the late Mr..
Hayes promptly vetoed the bill, when it
finally did pass, for the same illogical
reasons. Yesterday an attempt to fix a
low refunding rate was made in the Har-
risburg senate, and with tho result of pro-
cipitating furious row. The House bill
now before the senate nominates per
cent, but some senators thought that the
debt could be just as easily refunded at
81 per cent-as, indeed, there is every
reason to believe it could-and advocated
that rate. Exactly why the 81 per cent.
proposition should hava been provocative
of violent language and other misbehaviol
it is rather difficult to understand. The
substantial fact is, however, that tho Har.
>risburg senate yesterday succeeded in
maxim. an indecent exhibition of itself.

Writs in the cases of four murderers
under sentence of death have been placed
in the hands of the governor, who will
soon issue warrants for their hanging.
The names of the condemned men are
Albert GOerzen, Of Philadelphia, convicted
of poisoning his wife: Emanuel Ettinger,
Jonathan Meyer and Israel Erb, convicted
of the murder of an aged couple named
Kintzeler in Snyder county, in December,
1877. The confession of May Hartley, the
mistress of one of the murderers, was
published few days after the crime was
discovered. The old couple lived alone in
the woods, and were thought to have a
large sum of money. Tho condemned
men, accompanied by May Hartley, went
to the house and tried to kill the Occu-
pants by throwing bottle of chloroform
through one Of the windows. Failing in
this an entrance was forced and the old
people brutally butchered.

Blood on the Moon.

In the cut.throat game of the Republi-
can national politicians, it must be ad-
mitted that Mr.. Garfield has made a
point over Conkling. When in Congress
the president was a theoretical statesman
OF easy virtue, which often got him into
trouble, but as dispenser or controller
of patronage he WAS not conspicuous. IE
the executive chair, with Blaine as chief
adviser and the deus er-,ndchin,. of his
administration, his feelings lightly turn
to thoughts of power and to the con-
tinued domination of his party for him.
self and his friends. He was satisfied to
concede something to the stalwarts,
but he could not forget that
they were in a minority at Chi
cago and that that minority stub
bornly resisted his nomination. He was
willing to let them have the small end of
the loaf, but when it came to the distri-
button of patronage in the Empire state
Of politics he was not willing that his
own and Blaine's friends should
be left" and SO he gave Conk-
ling the bitter dose of an intense
opponent in the custom house. Under
the compromise terms of the Republican
caucus agreement to break the dead
I)ck this appointment was CONTESTED"
nomination and would have gone over to
next winter for consideration, while the
nominations of Conkling's friends, not
opposed Of course by either of the New
York senators, would have been disposed
of at once and no doubt confirmed.
Here is where Conkling seemed to have
his opponents in split stick. Mr..
Blaine, fertile in his resources, has point
ed out to his chief an escape from his
emergency in the prompt withdrawal of
the names of Conkling's friends which
he had sent in to the Senate, and they
are accordingly tied up with Robertson.
They have, however, this advantage,
that they are in and stay in pending the
controversy over them. From this po-
sition they cannot we'll be dislodged,
though the action Of the president will
none the less intensity the bitterness of
feeling which the Vaccinations of Blaine
and the arrogant domination of Conk
ling have precipitated upon their party.
All reports agree that this new move
has great significance and means hand
tO-hand conflict in the Republican
party. Under Hayes this could not we'll
ensue, for Blaine was nearly as hostile to
him as Conkling but now Blaine is
closely identified with the administra-
tion. Its fight is his fight, and he is
equipped with the power, of its patron
age. He is a hard hitter and has old
grudges to pay against Conkling he
has friends to reward and foes to pun
ish he feels that he has no future if
Conkling wins, for the latter has twice
been willing to sacrifice himself to beat
Blaine. = -

following:
Auntas Lizzie ZeN you have done well,
To- be surprised, there's none would tell.
And gifts wore given with gSod cheer
Fromnll her children very dear.
Since surprises they are all the 60,
Both young and OctO2enari2ns, too.
Let union and true friendship grow.
From all our hearts forever flow.
Let music in true love be sung.
From all Our lips and every tOnxne;
Till angels time their harps above
To Him who died for all in love.
Let prayer be offered IN good faith
To Him who nust Our SaIvattOn make
live would live with Him above,
And sing His everlasting love.

FRIDAY 1vEN1xo, NAY Q. 56sl,
The Presidents Course.

The presidents prompt acceptance of
the fight which Conkling has offered
him seems to be taken as call OF Re-
publican politicians to declare " under
which king. Bezonian Pr !" and the Large
majority Of them incline to dance to the
presidents music. Even the Philadel-
phia Pssss, which hes been accepted as|
q CoHkibg Organ d The timer nirclas
takes decided ground On the side Of Gar
field, though with mildness Of lam
guags which shows that, it regrets to
part company with its old love. It says
with truth that the fight has been
forced upon tbe presid ent by Cohkling,
and that he could not do otherwise than
take up tho gage Of battle SO extensively
and persistently offered him. This will he
the ordinary view taken of the matter and
Garfield will be held in increased estima-
tion for he exhibition Of spirit which, lie
has sl,own.s PpbbH & is Blaine who
inspires him bat however prompted he
has clearly done what he should have
done, in withdrawing the nominations
of the friends of Senator Conkling in
New York upon that senator's avOwal
of his determination to oppose the con-
firmation OF the one nominated man who
was not his friend, because of that fact
and not because of his unftneSs.
The New York Times considers that
Garfield has belittled himself by with
drawing these nominations of men fit
for the places, only because they were
COnkling's friends. 1t considers that
the president of the United States cannot
wortbily recall a nomination once made
to the Senate for any other reason than
subsequently discovered unfitness for the
Office. And the New York Sun
violently maintains the same view.
But there is, more speciousness
in It than substance. If presidents were
in the habit Of nominating men only for
the reason Of their fitness, the conclu-
sion would he sound. But this is not
the habit Of presidents. Political con-
siderations control their nominations.
No president would send to the Senate
the name of one not of his party; and
should such one be nominated he
would he speedily withdrawn when the
mistake was discovered. The Times
would not think of reproaching Gar
field for Withdrawing Democrat who
was fit, just because he was q Democrat.
On the contrary it would bitterly assail
him if he did not do it. How then is it
more degrading to the president that he
withdraws the name of a Republican
who assails his administration, and who
is the adherent of a senator who arrogates
to himself the prerogatives of the presi-
dent and seeks to forbid him to appoint
fit men of his own party to Office because
they are not his personal friends ? It is
the supremest sort of nonsense to say
that the president may not properly
withdraw nominations of men to office
made because they were the friends Of
Senator Conkling, after that senator has
avowed his purpose to strike down the
presidents friends, and has thus clearly
forfeited all claim to consideration at
his hands.
