THE FUND FOR MRS. GARFIELD.

The spectacle Of raising fund for tn,
bei eft Of Mrs. Garfield, is not an edifyine
oie. There is no reason why $3.50 900 or
any other amaunt of money, should be sub
scribed for her. She is not in want; her
husband, who is in possession OF moderate
competence, outside of the handsome salary
his position affords, is likely to live many
years, and there is every probability that
with his usual frugal management, he will
be able to live in becoming style, educate
his children in becoming manner, and
lay by handsome sum Of. mon, y to be add
ed to his private fortune when he leaves
the White House. Therefore there is no
good reason why Mr.. Cyrus W. Field should
ask contributions from the rich men OF this
country on behalf of Mrs. Garfield.
1t cannot be said that these money testi
monials to distinguished public men occu-
pying high official positions, in which they
have the disposal of many lucrative offices,
have tendency to strengthen public nor.
ais. If Gen. Garfield should live, he will
not stand in need OF the money, and no one
should wish to see the President put under
the obligations to the principal subscribers
to the fund, which the acceptance of the
fund would create. We had specimen Of
this thing during the Grant regime, and it
would not be conducive to our national
prosperity and to the proper administration
OF public affairs, to have it repeated. Let
Mr.. Field and his rich friends wait until
there shall be some necessity for financial
aid from them.

somewhat took the critics by storm. 1t was
announced as the initial volume Of new
series-"The Round Robin Series," project
cd by the Messrs. James n. Osgood & Co.,
Of Boston. Now you know the series busi-
ness has almost been done to death, and
there was not much confidence in another
anonymous series, taking in almost exclu-
sively American authors.
The legend was not re-assuring either {
we were afraid "Perhaps it may turn out"
a fizzle. as likely as anything else. But be-
ginning with "The Eameless Nobleman,"
and following with "a Lesson in Love" and
"The Georgians," tho the publishers have
had the good fortune to place in the hands
of novel readers, the three most successful
novels OF the season.
"a Lesson in Love" has been attributed
to several of our most prominent writers.
First to Henry James, Jr., then TO Edgar
Fawcett, then to Miss Sprague, who wrote
that sprightly novel "An earnest Tritier,"
aud lastly To Mr. Bshop,the author of "Deb-
mold" 1t is difficult for the most discrim-
mating critic, to say who did write il, as it
partakes Of the best qualities Of all these
writers. 1t is lesson Of modern society in
New York, an has ia John Truax the hero,
and the charming heroines, Kate Warning
ton and Doris Gordon some of the finest
character painting have found in any re-
cent novel. "The Georgans" is strange
and tragic story OF fthe South, still bitter and
prejudced through the late war. The story,
however, is not a sectional one, the author
only shows the best and most attractive side,
in the hero, strong aud noble character,
in some whimsical types. 1t is noticeable
what growing interest all things Russian
are to readers and writers at present. This
leaning is also discovered in "The Georgi-
ans" the heroine, being a fair Russian
Countess with mysterious history.
In recommending any of these novels for
the happy leisure moments of the summer
| must not overlook Mrs. Burnett's "Fair
Barbarian" which still floats on the high
waves of popularity. doubt not, that there
will be many prototypes of saucy "0ctavia
Bassett" with her frils and diamonds, to be
seen at Saratoga in the heighth of the sea-
son. NJ.

OFFICIAL PATRONAGE.

The controversy which has been going on
between the two factions Of the Republican
party continues, but not with the bitterness
that characterized it previous to the late
murierous assault ON the President. This
trouble grew out Of differences which existed
long prior to the election, or even before
G,n. Gartelds nomination was thought Of
1t had its inception in foisting upon the peo-
pie fraudu ent \ I'm nistration Whose head
refused to properly recognize the services Of
tho men who had been instrumental in
placing him in position, which clear ma
jority Of the people at the polls had said
should be occupied by another. Hayes by
the rankest fraud was made President, to
pave the way for the return of Gen. Grant
to the White House, but he failed to carry
out the wishes of The men who had made
him what he was and Gen. Garfield was so
fortunate as 10 secure the prize. Naturally
Gen. Garfield could not fraternze with the
men whose candidate for President, first last
aud all the time, is Grant The re, son for
this is plain. Gen. Garfield is an ambitious
man, with as keen desire to be his own
successor, as was eyer possessed by any of his
predecessors, aud to yield up TO the Grant
wing Of the party, vast amount of official
patronage would be equivalent to signing Q
quit claim deed Of the position he has been
elected to occupy for four years, and which
he hopes to be able TO occupy for four years
more, alter his present term expires.
A politician without patronage is power
less. We see this clearly illustrated in the
present position Of ex-senator Conklng.
With magnificent abilities and personality
that had until recently commanded the ut.

CONTEMPLATING A CRISIS.

The London (Eng.) Pail Mall Gazette
Monday evening, in leading article, head
ed "The Nearness of a Financial Crisis in
the United States" argues that the stability
OF the New York money MAJ ket depends mp
on its power to continue drawing gold from
Europe. An excess of exports over imports
is not necessarily sign of wealth. A nation
that always exports more goods than it i'm
ports is nearly always debtor nation, and
its excess Of imports is needed to pay its
debts Whether the process of expansion by
drninage from Europe, which within the
past two years has added 965, 100000 to the
circulation Of the Union, is to go on depends
upon the ability Of America TO control with
lts ptoduce the markets of Europe. The in
dications are that the European harvests
will be bountiful, and that the United States
will have to face great competition, proba.
bly, at very low prices. With an overwhelm-
ing surplus yield they might be able to do
this but should their surplus be as many

Of their trade may well become serious. The
article concludes as follows: 1--WE think the
position of the United States is not any.
thing like SO serious as the more sanguine
Americans assumes. They are just in the
circumstances where financial crisis might

look for such a crisis in the coming autumn
