Field Garfield purse will soon find oppor-
tunity to exercise their talents in praising
the Garlields for declining to accept. The
able editors powerful mind however, is
never so little tried as in getting upon both
sides Of the question.
AN editor in charge Of 4 religious news
paper, during the summer vacation of its
regular chief, announces the scientific dis
covery that elderberries are not SD named
because they are older than any other ber-
ries. They derived their name from the
fact that an elder of church first dis
covered their color by setting down upon
bunch of them 1t picnic.
The Louisville C0urier-JournaL is hope
full "We are assured by the New York
Nat that the good feeling expressed by
the Southern journals for tho president
will be appreciated by him, and that his
generous nature will be inspired by it, and
that his restored energies will be devoted
to the whole country, no one who knows
him is permitted to doubt. We hope this
may prove true. The spectacle of a Re-
publican president dcvoting himself to the
whole country, and not exclusively to his
party machinery, will be something unu-
sual and certainly gratifying.
The Philadelphia Press having charged
that "a Mr.. Piper" of the Harrisburg
Patriot and 4 Mr.. c. II. Bergner Of the
Telegraph, had engaged IN schemes of

It's astonishing how anxious the Ameri-

The Patriot disposes of the matter in
this satisfactory style
According to the Wilmington (Del.)

TIE Nen Era, which has on many oc-
casions, set up for moral censor, thinks
the appellation of "MooG Pulp Miller sis
more title of honor than anything else"
to the new New York senator. The Era s
code may be gagged by the re-
mindcr Of contemporary rs to
how Miller got his degree In
1880, while he was member Of the lower
house and while he was interested in the
exclusive privilege OF manufacturing wood
pulp in connection with about half a
dozen other similar manufacturers. and
doubtless under their retainer, he appeared
before the committee of ways and means,
not only in his own behalf, but on behalf
of his manufacturing colleagues, rs an
advocate of /" such 4 preservation OF the
duty on wood pulp rs would exclude COM
mercia! competition " with himself and
his associates in its preparation or manu-
facture. This fact is not only of record,
but it was at the time sharply and justly
animadvcrted upon by many Of his polit-
ical friends in the press.
Mr.. WHARTON BARKER's american, Of
Philadelphia, looking back upon the
struggle at Albany of the last two months,
must pronounce that L" it was less credit
able to the administration members than
was that Of the Independents at Harris
burg. Tho Democrats at Harrisburg
played part which did them honor.
They kept their places, Il, L means Of de-
feating the rule of Il political dictator,
when by staying away they might have
elected Mr.. Oliver or Mr.. Beaver to do
him service. Those of Albany may seem
to have acted on exactly the same line, but
in fact they did the opposite. BY their
presence they helped Mr.. COnkling to his
last chance of perpetuatiny persona! rule
which they, in common with their coua-
trymen at largo, dcnounc, as corruptins."
In this statement the Amsricaa is hardly
fair. In both stltcs the Democrats man
ifested decont, dignitied no.. .interfer-
ence. In neither could they control, and
in neither are they responsible for the
outcome
