Didn't van once

The other day when q man rang the
door bell at Garfield's house, James
opened 1t and said:
SIN put your name on the list and
give your case my attention, but there
are owe sixty applicants ahead OF
YOU"
And the man replied, swell then, i
presume there isn't much show for me,
but I'll pay as much as any of EN-"
"Sir, do you think 1 sell ofices?"
"Darn it no, l want to buy your
hogs"
"And you don't want an Officer"
"No; I'm not an Ohio man, at ALL
And that man was invited in and
asked IL nothing would induce him to
accept a seat in the Cabinet, or a for
eign mission, or some splendid position
within the presidents gift, and his re-
fusal drove MI. Garfield nearly wild,
and he will appoint the man to some
Office anyhow.
That man knew how to work 1t.

THE following is taken from the
Worlds editorial: The trade and gen.
eral business of the country has been
subjected to a strain during the past
week more serious than any which has
been put on them since '73. This de-
plorable state Of affairs was brought
about by the selfish conspiring of q
certain number Of national banks, bent
on opposing the national will In the
matter Of establishing such a national
rate of interest as the duly chosen rep
resentatives of the people have thought
proper to adopt. Our government, and
the people who maintain it, have sub
mitted 10 great sacrifices to afford all
reasonable support to- national banks,
but the national banks have not kept
within reasonable limits their demand
for compensation for such financial ser-
vices as they have been able to render
to the country. A few Of these banks
have not hesitated to invite a destruc-
tion OF the whole system, and provoke
popular anger by pursuing a course
which must, inevitably, force upon
American citizens the question, wheth-
the legislative and executive officers
chosen to represent the people, or a few
bank officers, are to administer the
financial destinies of this country.

utterly blasted by the approval of a

Of unparalleled prosperity. Congress
threatens to furnish President Hayes
with an opportunity of closing and
browning his administration by an act
promotive of the public welfare.

The Gar Of Russia. Alexander III,
AsSaSsinatAd.

The Gar of Russia was assassinated in
st. Petersburg last Sunday while return
ing With the Grand Duke Michael from
the Michael Palace in closed carriage,
escorted by eight Cossacks. Two glass
bombs, charged with nitro-glycerine,
were thrown at the carriage. The first
destroyed the back part of the vehicle,
without injury to the occupants. The
second fell close to the Cars feet after
he had alighted, shattering both legs and
infiicting fatal injuries. He died soon
after arriving at te Winter Palace. An
officer attending the Gar and two Co.'S
sacks were also killed by the explosion,
and number of policemen and other
persons were injured. The Grand Duke
was slightly wounded. The assassins
were arrested. The people are intensely
excited and indignant. The soldiery,
who greatly loved the Gar, are furious.
The imperial family were all assembled
at the death bed. The council of state
was Immediately convened. All places
of public resort are closed.
The assassinated Gear will be succeed
ed on the throne of all the Russias by
his son, Alexander Alexandrovitch, who
was born in 1845, and who in 1866 mar
ried the Princess Dagmar. The Care
witch, now become the Gear, is under
stood to be thoroughly reactionary, COM
pletely affiliated with the old Russian
party, and actively hostile to the alliance
which his father cordially and per-
sistently maintained with Germany.

FIRE IN New SALEM.-The Salem
Register says that, on Monday morning
of last week. about o'clock, the family
of MIR. J. P. Fairburn were aroused from
their slumbers by the burning of the
kitchen attached to bis dwelling Jump
ing from his bed Mr.. Fairburn opened
the door leading to the kitchen, when
the flame and smoke poured into the
room in which he and his wife and
children were sleeping. In a moments
time the whole house was on fire, and
he and his family bal ely escaped with
their lives. Nearly all of the furniture,
bedding, clothing, &C., were destroyed.
The fire was accidental, it is supposed,
and originated in the kitchen. The
house contained three rooms. Mr..
Fairburn is poor man, with large
family, and only by industry and strict
economy, for number of years, man..
aged to put up his little home, which
was destroyed in a few minutes. AS
soon as it was known that he had lost
his little home, subscription papers
were at once circulated, and several hun.
dred dollars were subscribed for the re-
lief of the unfortunate family.

TUESDAY. MARCH Is, 1881.
a. The Danger which Threatens.

Five years ago we made the predic-
tionsthat in twenty years from that date
the corporations, monopolies, and cap
italists would rule this country at their
will by controlling both the National
and State Governments. Since then
the evidences are such as to confirm us
in that opinion. We have seen that
they control the elections of members to
Congress and the State Legislatures.
and are gradually but constantly and
and persistently getting control of both
National and State Legislature. The
Lynchburg Niryinian concurs in this
view and says, with truth, that ''there
has been no lack of warnings in recent
years of the dangers likely to threaten
the most vital interests of the country
from the concentration of immense ex-
elusive privileges and enormous wealth
in the hands of a few men but it is on
ly recently that the increasing velocity
of this process of concentration has be-
gun to create serious alarm. That "cOr-
porations are powerful because the peo-
pie are powerful" is not SO apparent
The nation is giant, conscious Of its
own irresistible strength and quench'
less vitality, and this very conscious
ness makes it slow to take alarm or to
suspect evil. 1t knows that at any time
it may, like Sampson, arise and shake
itself free of all that can be woven
around it, and SO long as it holds free
ballot in its hand it is disposed to pay
very little attention to the warnings Of
the prophets of evil and danger. But
the American people begin to under
stand that there may be peril in THU
unrestrained growth of corporate power
against which they may well begin te
guard themselves. When not only tn
great highways of commerce, forming
the vital arteries of circulation between
the members Of the body polite, ar
held in the absolute grasp of few men
but when the same men by virtue of tn
enormous wealth they hold, obtain al
absolute monopoly of the telegraphi'
lines; buy up the oldest and most influ
entail organs of public opinion; from
State after State secure the election o
their agents and servants to the Senat
of the United States, and aim at obtain
ing complete possession of the Suprem
Court, the people begin to understand
that it is. time some legislative check
were interposed to prevent popular SOW
ereignty from being subverted into {
sovereignty of wealth, whether Mr.. ia.
Gould likes it or not. There is no ques
ton but that slowly and surely the sen
timent of the country is already crystal
izing against monopoly-not merely tn
telegraph monopoly, the railroad mo
nopoly, the steel rail monopoly an
such like, but in opposition to those
seeking to crush the whole condition o
things that makes them possible. II
the near future the party that espouse
the cause Of the people in this contes
will win, by whatever name it b
called"
