Many a man will look over his
weekly paper this week, and seeing
the election returns will remark,
''Whatl lection this week? Been
mighty still about it." And then
when he learns that the election has
not gone just according to his notion
he will dissertate upon the impurity
of our elections to his family. He
will show that the country is going to
the devil as fast as it can, and that our
boosted freedom, independence and re-
publicanism are all bosh.

in future interfere with the carrying
out Of Mr.. Gladstone's policy. The
action Of the British Premier is highly
commended by the highest intelli-
gence everywhere. The means fur
nished to the Irish tenants are now
probably superior to those of the same
class Of people anywhere in the world.
The question is settled, and it is evil
dent that the feeling in England over
the settlement is one of great relief.
The high place Mr.. Gladstone has held
for many years past will be made high
er by his successful and humane meth
Cd of dealing with the difficulties.

The Republican majority in the
state, though slight, indicates what
the party is capable of, although its
strength has been 50 materially weak

We have given very little attention
and devoted very. little space to refut-
ing certain stories that have circula-
ted as to the manner in which this
paper is run. We have been more dis
posed to trust to time and the good
sense of its readers to vindicate it from
such insinuations. We would be glad
if criticism would be directed to it's
matter rather than to its manage
ment The editor does not need to de-
fine his political views. They have
been sufficiently apparent. If they
have not been expressed freely on all
political questions or personal ques-
tons we have yet to be made aware OF
the fact, Whenever they shall be in
terfered with, the readers of the TELE-
GRAPH will have an opportunity Of
reading as handsome a yaledictory as
we can compose. We do not claim for
the paper as pure a style and elegant
a diction as can be seen in some papers
Of the state of equal calibre, but if we
have not held Republican views we
would be glad to receive Republican
criticism. The subscription list of the
paper is large and is increasing. This
is sufficient indication to us of the es-
timation in which it is held. We
have endeavored to support the Re-
publican party in county and state,
and shall continue to be Republican in
all things.

The desire expressed by the Star
Reuters for public trial at the time of
the accusation is manifesting itself
strangely about now. Every conceiva-
BILE mode of lodging a trial is being
resorted to. One would suppose from
the indignant demand made six months
ago by Brady, Dorsey, and others, that
q trial was the one thing they most
desired. The effort to quash the in
formation shows plainly enough that
this was all red tape, If they really de-
sired a trial, the case would be allowed
to go on without trying to interpose
petty hindrances.

Elections in Germany have shown
as decided gains in what may be
termed the popular or Democratic
parties as those Of England or France.
Some eighty elections had to be reheld
in various places, owing to undecided
or contested reaults. Where these re-
elections. have been held the gains are
even more pronounced. The Social
lists have received unexpected indorse-
ment in many localities. There is APP
parently an intention in the minds of
the common people all over Europe to
reduce monarchy to it's minimum, and
give to the people the real power

Whether it is trueor not that the
President pounded the table the other
day at Cabinet meeting for lack Of a
better means of expressing himself on
the subject of the lack of energy on
the part Of the government attorneys
in the prosecution of Guiteau and the
Star Route sWindlers, no one would
look upon such demonstrations as I'M
fitting. If these parties are allowed to
escape the punishment they SO richly
merit such expressions of indignation
will not be confined to the President.
Human nature demands some vent for
overcharged feelings, and while the
one referred to is not the most digni-
fed in the world it is about as good as
can be found. 1t has been evident for
some time that the Star Route cases
were on the decline. The wind has
been taken out of the sails somehow,
and it is to be feared that, like many
other public steals, the brand of infa-
my will be the only punishment. The
Guiteau case still holds off. There
can be little doubt but it will be salts
factorily dealt with, though if there
were a possible loop-hole a way would
be managed for smuggling the villain
through without the deserved reward
for his deed.

collecting and collating the various
papers of the late President. A care
full biography of Mr.. Garfield is to be
prepared, in which his important let
tiers and contributions to public docu-
ments and literature will appear. The
biographer Will be assisted by Mrs.
Garfield in his laborious work of gath
ering together whatever may be desir-
able material for the work. The boys
are to be sent to q private school dur
ing the winter. Whatever Mrs. Gar
field may do in the future will be looked
upon with interest and sympathy by
the people of this country. The tragic
event which deprived her of her hus-
band and robbed the country of its
chief officer has linked the hearts of
all people to that bereayed family. The
noble bearing of Mrs. Garfield during
the trying hours of her husbands sick
ness will ever be remembered, and
commented upon as unequaled for true
womanliness. The expression of this
sympathy, affection and appreciation
in the presentation of the Garfield
Fund was noble act for the people of
this country to do.

The excitement of election is over,
if the peaceful polling of votes we
have just passed through may be
termed an excitement, and we settle
down to the sober affairs of everyday
life. During the canvass our attention
has been largely directed to it, and
many things of Importance transporting
outside have gone unnoticed, To pick
up the tangled threads of current his
tory and weave them into the SEM
hlance Of connected ideas is the object
that now commands our attention.
The election and canvass preceding it
have been very quiet. The results
show the status of political parties.
The vote is the vote of those who al
ways vote and are not called out. Ey-
cry Republican vote is a determined
Republican vote; so also every Demo-
cratic or Prohibition vote.

Secretary Blaine's letter to Minister
Lowell is being commented upon by
the British press. While there is gem
eral agreement as to the righteousness
OF the position taken by this govern
ment, the London Standard remarks
that anything presuming that this
country is the arbiter of war over all
questions in America is inadmissible,
considering the large territorial pos
sessions of England in America.
While the letter does not claim for this
country any such supreme control, any
attempt of any European power to
gain q further foothold in America
will be construed as an act showing
unfriendly feeling to this government.
