the latter fired in the air. Wise is q

careful to give even the most, casual

make this correction ; especially glad as

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-05-05

YOUR Uncle Joseph Brown retains his serenity
in the face of the attacks of The Republican or
ganS-AHaata Constitution.
OF course There is nothing to disturb
him now. There are no Democratic bull
dozers hunting for his Republican scalp
as in days of yore. Serene? Yes, as
serene as bucket of molasses in January.

gabouc and the Re,ub,,e.ps.

Democratic Senators charge Malone, of
Virginia, with treachery. They say that his proper
place is in the Democratic ranks, and that he has
no right TO act with the Republican party. The
reasons they advance are certainly cOgent. They
urge that debt-repudator should receive no
sympathy from Republicans; that his proper
place is with the Democracy They say that
confederate brigadier should not be permitted to
train with political organization that has made
treason odious and put down the most threatening
rebellion known in history. The substance of
their argument is that any man guilty of treason
and rebellion and repudiation ought to be Il Demo-
crat and must be insiucere if he call himself Re-
publican. The argument is weighty, and, as put
by the Democratic Senators, too heavy for us to
readily handle. Malone is willing, like Il few
other sensible Southerners. Longstreet and Mosby
for example, to accept without complaint, and even
with gratitude, the generous terms offered by the
victorS i'll our civil war Heseeks TO advance the
order of things, to do away with the political pro-
scription that curses the South, to establish the
free ballot and fair count that the Democracy so
clamor for in platform and so disregard in prac-
tce. Therefore, and to that extent he has the sym
pathy of Republicans. Between the Virginia
Debt-Payers, who promise TO discharge the debt,
but take no steps toward that laudable end, and
the ReadjusterS, who propose to pay a considerable
part of it at once, the creditors of Virginia must
decide. The National concern is with the larger
question, and in that discussion the sympathies of
Republicans must be with Senator Malone. When
he proposes to repudiate any part of the honest
debt of Virginia We repudiate him. But when ne
seeks 10 secure free ballot and an honest count
i'll the South we sustain him. Th.lt is the extent
of our support-PorRaRd (ne.) Press

Even in the few great fundamental industries ex-

This topic Yas illustrated at some iength) But
we must advance beyond the old realms of art to
find the grandest triumphs OF the modern age Out
of the later discoveries and inventions have grown
whole families of arts utterly unknown to the
earlier civilizations. Thus the invention of the
printing press and the steam engine has given
birth to steFeotyping, chromos, and photo-ltho-
graphy, and the various book-making arts; to
railroad transportation and steamship navigation,
with all the wonders of modern engineering. Out

and criticism have reread the history of mankind.
Philology has tracked by the simple laws and

families and races of men. Ethnology is gaining

Right and Fair Dealing.

The true way to look at the Conkling-
Robertson matter is not from the standpoint OF
the Presidents constitutional right, but from the
stand point of right and fair dealing as between
man and man. Undoubtedly Mr.. Garfield has q
right to appoint Judge Robertson, although even
this right is modified by the condition that va
cancy shall exist and in point ofact such vacancy
does not exist But Mr.. Garfield was not nominated
and elected the idea that he to play the au-
tOcrat and that his acts were not to be ques-
toned or criticized this side of an impeachment
trial. The question at issue is whether in making
this nomination, Mr. Garfield acted in good faith
not to Mr. COnkling alone, but to the hundreds of
thousands of Republicans who do not believe it to
be policy to place any distractions in the way of Mr.
Conklings retention of power and influence in the
State of New York? Would Mr.. Garfield have
liked it to be known two weeks before the election
that he intended to do this thing? We rather

To Call or Not to Call.

The other day we referred to the social
dilemma in which the ladies of the
Cabinet found themselves upon the mo-
mentous question of whether to return
calls personally or by card; or whether,
if any personal calls should be made by
them, they should be restricted to
those ladies in what may be called
official" circles. We then quoted
from Mrs, Dahlgren's new edition
of her book on social etiquette,
giving the views of that lady,
whose long experience and high social
standing have caused her to be consid-
cred an authority upon this subject. She
recognized, as do all ladies, the severe
physical tax imposed upon them by per-
sonally returning calls, but pointed out
the difficulty in at once providing a
remedy; and she also indicated how
delicate must be the method which should
completely change an established usage
without giving ofense to an element of
our resident society whose importance
cannot be ignored. The extracts given
at that time had especial bearing upon
the present administration, for in the
same connection Mrs. Dahlgren says:
We understand that the Cabinet of the incoming
administration, alarmed at the heavy burdens
borne by their predecessors contemplate making
some change with regard to the personal return of
visits But it seems to US that any departure from
hitherto established usage must be made by com
mon consent to be well received or effective This
change, doubtless, could be brought about if the
wives of all the leading functionaries of state
would publish a card defining their position in
such way as to make it evident that no personal
discourtesy was intended, but rather the reverse;
for if physical strength by any device be saved
for hospitabe effort the public is better served
Yet this is most difficult and hazardous expert
ment to make. The result would be that in some
cases card would be left in reply to a personal
visit, while for others exceptions would be made
A proper solution of this problem can
only be reached by perfectly harmonious
and united action on the part of the
ladies of the Cabinet, after consultation
with the recognized leaders of our resi-
dent society, and as there is ample time
between now and the next social season.
there seems to be no reason why this i'm
portant social question should not be
answered by that time.
