Previous 70 his death the only words
spoken BY the President were that he had a
severe pain in bis heart. IL Il supposed BY
the surgeons that death was occasioned BY 4
clot OF blood forming IN the heart. Bliss
was the first one notified or the Presidents
expression or pain, and upon entering the
room he AZ once saw the end was near.
Members Of the family were Immediately
summoned 70 the bedside. Perfect
quiet prevailed. Mr.. Garfield bore
the trying ordeal with great forttude. and
exhibited unprecedented courage. she was
laboring under aterriblc strain, and, despite
her efforts, tears flowed from her eyes, and

The colorcd servants Of Francklyn cot

fick-room, peeping IN. The President wa-
breathing heavily, and q increasing inter.

two or three times, but aside from this moi
word was spoken. Two or three signs and
some suppressed sobbing we're heard from
groups q servants IN the door, but All the
rest were silent. The heavy breathing 81

minutes and then ceased. Death was
absolutely painless. When al was over,

foreign countries,

And still we persist in keeping up
protection duty of $2S ton. That the
rails were sold abroad at the same price
they are sold here, is vagery, which pa
pers of protective instincts like to indulge
in but that rails can be sold abroad so as
to compete with English ones, is conclu-
sive proof that the duty is farce and
steal. and is a self.imposed tax placed
upon the American people, for the benefit
of an industry, which demands this addi-
tional protection, in spite of the fact that
it is protected by patent which limits it
to eleven companies. These eleven hrms
in 1880, turned out 954, AGO tons Of steel
rails At $50 per ton Ia low valuatlon)
this would amount to $57, 267, 600 These
manufacturers are protected by duty
equal to $29 per ton. Yet, in spite of this
duty, English rails have been imported at
a profit to the sellers. At this rate the
profit to these eleven firms ought to be
close upon S37, 900, 900.
The reason thereof is this: The Inter
Ocean shows that America has undersold
England in equal markets. England mas
been able to pay a duty of S28 per ton'
and yet undersen us in our home mar
ket Leaving out the difference IN
price, by which we undersoIi
England in France, there yet
remains a difference of $26 ton, be-
tween the price American manufacturers
sell at home and abroad. II we can I'M
dersen England in France, where we meet
on equal terms, we can surely underseli
her at home, where we are protected by
duty of 1928 And yet in 1880 England
sent us 158, $50 tons. The only logical
deduction is that the only effect of the S2s
ton duty, is TO make the price OF steel
that much higher to the home producer,
and to effect a direct tax on every bushel
of grain hauled over our railroads, a tax
which we of the west pay to the Bessemer
steel monopoly.

AWAKENING TO THE WEST.

The warming of the treasury cattle 6 ON
mission to the cattle breeders of the West
deserves earnest attention. The subject
is serious one. For some time past the
movements of cattle in the country have
all been West to East, and there has been
no opportunity to import the cattle dis
eases that prevail in the Atlantic states in
to the West, But the commission state
that the practice of buying dairy calves in
the East and bringing them to Western
pastures to be raised aud fattened has
recently grown up, and it threatens mis-
chief The region on the Atlantic extend
ing from New York city southwark to
Washington city is more or less infected
with the murrain known as pleuro-pneu-
monia, and its ravages are so destructive
that several states have found it necessary
to authorize commissions to examine dair-
les and kill animals infected. The chief
seats of the disease are the diaries in the
neiglborhood of cities-the very source
from which calves for western feeding are
drawn The only safe plan is for Western
farmers to stop the business of buying
Eastern calves entirely-and to stop also
the practice of buying improved cattle
from the Eastern states, except from dis
tricts known to be free from the murra!n.
Cattle constitute an important interest in
nearly every Western and Southwestern
state, and If the dreaded disease were to
make its way into our herds, the damage
would be inealculable and perhaps ire
parable The west has suffered greatly
from a hog cholera, and If in addition the
cattle infection should become established
in our midst, the business and stock rails
ing would be seriously impaired. 81.

As long as Americans are contented to
be Americans, they are worthy of respect
and admiration but when they descend
from their positions as Americans, and at
tempt to become foreigners, the counter
felt is ridiculous in the extreme. The
English craze is now in full possession OF
many of our eastern cousins, who are pos
sessed of more money than brains and
the congregation of snobs has been great
~ added to,Isince the furore for English
habits and customs has come in, English
dress is copied and English walk initiated
The English drawl in the speech is fash
ionable, and eyeglasses are a necessary
part of every snob's toilet. But the fox
hunt is the latest importation, and al
though there is not fox within a hundred
miles of Newport, a fox hunt Is
considered necessary thing. The follow
ing description is taken from Chicago
paper:
1t is a fine sight to see the distinguished
ladies and gentlemen at Newport out on a
fox hunt, with the hounds in full cry.
There are fine old English names among
them-HSirs. and Ladies" in abundance
but they all belong to the horses. There
is whipper-in, too, and there are costumes
got up by tailors from imported fashion
plates. There is real fox, too, that they
are sure of for he he has been caught and
carefully kept IN a pen for months before
hand There has been rehearsals of the
chase, with everything except the fox and
the dogs, and places have been selected
beforehand for leaping stone fences, where
there is soft ground on the further side te
receive such of the riders as may become
unseated. A grand inject of the Queens
County Hunt" took place at the glen last
Monday. The fox ran along East River
for little while, and then lodged into g
swamp and some of the understrappers
went in on foot and killed the poor ole
brute His ''brush" was presented to one
of the ladies. and his pate to one of tht
gentlemen, and laden, with these trophies
the party gayly rode back to Newport. l
was, indeed, great day for the O. G. Ell,

Hayes administration is getting many
hard hits. Howgate is the last rascal who
has been exposed, but there is no knowing
when the list viii end For a ''pure adj
ministration" it was about as corrupt as it
could well be, as shown from the present
exposures; although the country at large
would like to know tride more in regard
to the actions and accounts of honest %
John Sherman. Nothing but Democrat
ic administration will ever show that up:
and said Democratic administration is the
only hope we have for obtaining full
knowledge of twenty years of Republican
stealin0s.

The democratic mayor of Philadelphia
has appointed four negroes on the police
force of that city, and the republican
papers are trying to reprove the JOY of the
colored population over the event. Phila-
delphia has been under republican gov
eminent for twenty years, and no black
man was ever appointed to an Office; but
now that the negroes held meeting to
celebrate the acknowledgment of their
rights by democrat, the radical papers at
once warned them against the evils OF
office seeking. In republicans eye Office
seeking is the greatest of sins, for every
body but a white republican.

The argument of the Chicago Inter
Ocean that because America is able to I'M
dersen England in foreign markets, that
therefore the duty on steel rails should be
kept ND is trif1e difficult to understand.
The supposable idea of protection IS TO
keep the price of a foreign manufactured
articles up, so that the home manu1actur-
er can successfully compete against it. IT
the home manufacturer can underseh his
foreign competitor, in other markets to
the average American citizens there seems
to be very little need of protection. Dur
ing the last nine years the following f1g
ures show the export of American rails to

4 rather agitated repuhliean pal

A rather agitated republican paper re-
marks: without General Arthur's cast
ing vote the Senate is exactly divided be
tween the two parties. and could not elect
a presiding officer nor secretary without
concession on one side or the other
Judge Davis might find here the great OPP
portunity of his life and reach within one
point of his consuming ambition. The
best hope of way out of such dilemma
is in the sentiment of a common sorrow
that win subdue partisanship and chasten
ambition Which is q somewhat rich re-
mark Why Democrat should step aside
and allow Republican to be chosen, IS
not clearly explained, unless it is that It
was the divine intention to make repub-
Icans simply for the purpose Of holding
office; or Office simply for republicans.

That republican should make the conces-
sion ana allow democrat to be chosen
seems never to enter their head. Il would
be rather amusing If Malone should make
up his mind that he wanted it, and threat
en- to vote for a democrat, if not
nominated.

President Garfield still lives, and may
continue to live, and yet for long time be
physically so disabled that he can not per
form executive duty. Mr.. Arthur. then,
comes in, not to take the office, but simply
to perform certain executive duties. To
what extent he may exercise power as well
as discharge duty is delicate question,
which he would have, so far as we can see,
to determine for himself, 1t is hardly
likely he would attempt revolution OF
policy or interfere with the organization
of the Cabinet. That would not be nee
essary in order to discharge executive pow
ers and duties Tt would look like an at
tempt to usurp the office itself, and wholly
ignore the living President, who, when re
covered would without ceremony resume
his functions leaving the Vice-President
where he is and just what he is, and nc
more.

PRESIDENTIAL INABILITY.


The Times, and the Republican press
generally, admit that the condition of in
ability of the President contemplated by
the Constitution exists, and consequently
that the powers and duties of the President
have constitutionally devolved upon the
President. But all insist. and the
Vice President acquiesces in the view, that
he should not discharge those powers and
duties Yet not one of them is able to give
good and sufficient reason why the ad
ministration of the Government should be
thus left without a constitutional head and
in the hands of officers unknown to the
Constitution save as it vests in Congress
power of their creation by statute as ser
wants of the Chief Executive. In taking
position they are governed by the eircum-
stances, not by the principles of the case.
Suppose, for instance, that instead OF being
divided, as it is in two bitterly warning
factions, the Republican party were unit;
and suppose that instead of representing
these antagonistic elements of the Repub-
lican party President Garfield and Vice
President Arthur were as one standing for
the united party, does any one doubt that
in such case Mr.. Arthur would have long
ago succeeded to the discharge of the
powers and duties of the Presidency or
that Republican journals and Republican
statesmen would find any obstacle to see
ing their way clear through the Constitu-
ton for such succession
Philade1phia Press (Rep.}
The Interpretation of the inability clause
of the Constitution, sanctioned by Alexan-
der Hamilton, and practically enforced by
the late Governor Morton, is, we believe,
the correct one. But in the absence of
legislation defining inability or pro yiding
some tribunal for deciding when it exists to
such degree as to call for the assumption
of the active duties of the Office by the
Vice President, it cannot well be carried
into effect The President might doubt.
less invite the Vice-President to discharge
the powers and duties of the formers office
during his illness, but in the absence OF
such an invitation it is hardly supposable
that e-President, in the present state
of the law, would assume any of the Pres
idential functions on his own RESPONSE
