The Springfield Republican (Ind.) makes
the following remarks concerning the second
nomination of Garfield.
"A second term for Garfield is an early
and enthusiastic form which hero-wor-
ship is taking at Washington. There is no
harm in it to the country, presidents are not
nominated at Washington, but there may be
to Garfield. The popular emotion is deep ;
but popular emotion IS never lasting, save as
it is fed by deeds. If President Garfield puts
to sound use this great fortune of popular
support to which he has fallen heir, his tor
tune is secure and the fortune of his party !;
but it will be easy for him to squander it, to
blunt the edges of popular admiration, to lose
his strength almost as quickly as he has won
it. Now, as before Guitteau's shot. there is
no safety for him or his administration save
in a high am and high acts, in reform and
improvement, in steps upward aud not back
ward"

THE GREAT WHEAT FIELDS.

People travelling to the North West, will
be gratified at learning that the GREAT
Rock ISLAND ROUTE" opens a new line
from Chicago to Minneapolis and St. Paul,
July 18th, running two through daily trains
leaving Chicago at 1905 and 7:30 p. IN. This
new line is to be- known as the " ALBERT
LEA ROUTE" and passes through the very
best sections of the States of Illinois, Iowa
and Minnesota, affording travellers a view of
the great harvest fields of our country, and a
section peopled by the most prosperous and
progressive of our Northwestern inhabitants.
We understand hat round trip excursion
tickets to points in the great wheat region of
the Red River of the North and Missouri
River valleys will be Immediately put on
sale, good for forty days from date of issue.
This will enable eastern farmers to visit the
greatest wheat country on the globe, and see
harvesting done on the most gigantic scale.
Surely, no one that really desires to see the
Vest, will forego this opportunity to do so,
by licketing over the |" Albert Lea Route" uia
West Liberty. The Great Rock Island De-
pot is TIE most central of any in Chicago,
being in the very heart of the city, close to
the great hotels, postofice and leading mer-
camille houses.

The Salt Lake Tribune in commenting up
on the resolution favoring civil service re-
form adopted by the late Ohio democratic
convention, thus %insultingly refers to the
Germans Of that State. 1t says: "There
are a great many Germans in Ohio who 90
not understand English well, and it is posi-
BILE that one of these moved the adoption of
the resolution" 1t is possible a German may
have moved the adoption of the resolution,
but it does not follow that he did it ignorant
ly. But one thing is certain, there is not a
prominent republican in Ohio who has the
moral courage to introduce or move the adop-
ton IT a resolution in a political convention
declaring that ''of1ices shall be held to be a
public trust to be administered for the public
good" They have too keen a sense of the
ludicrous to make such an exhibition 10
themselves.

That is rather a tough story which is told
about that young Nihillst upon whom the lot
fell to kill the Car. He was a tough one.
He first ran his sword through his body. That
little exploit only served to sharpen his appe-
tite for another adventure after his life. He
next placed a pistol to his temple and lodged
a bullet in his head. This appears to have
aroused him to greater efforts to accomplish
his purpose and he settled down to his work
in earnest. After pnttlng another ball in the
same place he shot a few times IN the gaping
wound in bis body and quit only when his
ammunition gave out. What splendid pres
ident he would have made.

M. baronof's suspicious. He found the man
apparently dead, but in fact still breathing

doctors, cansed the student to come to his

THE WORK OF RAILROADS.

The report of Mr.. Henry Gannett, geogra-
pher for the tenth census, shows what rail-
roads have done towards moving the centre
of our population westward. That centre he
defines technically as " the point at which
equilibrium would be reached were the coun-
try taken as a plane surface, itself without
weight, but capable of sustai ming ~weight,and
loaded with its inhabitants, in number and
position as they are found at the period under
consideration, each individual being assumed
to be of the same gravity as. every other, and
consequently to exert pressure on the
pivotal pointdirectly proportioned to his dis
lance therefrorn."
The report shows that in 1890 the centre
was % miles east of Baltimore near the 39th
parallel of latitude north and 10th meridian
of longitude west. Since, then it has been
gradu lily moving westward on the S9th par
allel of north latitude until in 1880 it stood
at latitude 80 deg. Ga min. north and longi-
81 deg. 80 min. west, which carries it a
miles southwest of Cincinnati, land makes
an aggregate of 457 miles westward for the
ninety years noted.
The following table shows how this centre
has moved during each decade since 1900:

Edison is not dead, neither has he been
sleeping. He has been quietly but energet-
ically making preparations to light up a dis
trict in New York with electricity. Wires
have been placed in five hundred houses, and
the district will be lighted, by the st of Oc-
tober proy. Mr.. Edison has cont racted that
the light shall cost the same amount as gas.
Mr.. Edison evidently believes that perse-
verance will remove mountains of obstacles.

WHAT THEY MEAN.

The Ohio democrats meant something
when they incorporated in their platform, a
the nomination of Bookwalter, a resolution
" That we favor a civil service reform where
by offices shall be held to be a public
trust administered for the public good, not
spoils to be enjoyed as the reward Of partizar
zeal or service" When a little over a veal
ago the National democratic party at Cincin'
natl resolved in favor of " general and
thorough reform of the civil SERVICE and in
sisted that " We execrate the course of the
administrator in making places in the civil
service a reward for political crime" it but
gave voice to the feeling of the American
people. 1t wou!d have been better for them,
better for the country and better for its good
name abroad if the electors of the Union had
cast their votes for men who would have en-
forced the letter and spirit Of those resolu-
tions. But they did moi; and now the demo-
Gratis of Ohio. IN the name of the people of
that State and we may say in the name of the
people of the Union, have reiterated their
desire that the civil service may be reformed.
This time, we believe the people OF Ohio will
not turn a deaf ear to their professions or APP
peals. The events of the past few weeks have
opened their eyes to the purposes of the lead
ers of the republican party.
They have seen the President shot Town for
no other reason than that given by man who
was crazed by a desire for office. They have
seen the legislature of a great State became
the shame of Our country and the object of
the scorn of foreign nations by its disgrace
full wrangliugs, its attempt at bribery,
and its low trickery to obtain the spoils of Of
fee. they have seen a great party split asun-
der in a ~factious fight and scramble for office.
They have seen that a twenty years monopo
ly of office and power have transformed the
republican party from a party of principle to
a mob fighting for spoils. They have seen
that no really prominent, strong man in that
party is willing that any other really promi-
nent, strong political associate shall hold an
Office. They have seen corruption in every
department OF the administration and the cor
ruptionists shielded from the avenging arm of
the law. They have seen all these and more
too, and they see it is now time to demand a
halt. They want a change, knowing it can
not be for the worse. They mean to see that
it is not. They mean to readjust the politi-
cal machinery Of their state by placing the
democratic party in power therein. They
know that party has been and will always be
true to its promises and they mean to elect its
candidate for governor.
There is no buncombe about that resolu-
ton the Ohio democrats adopted. They are
in earnest and propose as far as their own
state is concerned to carry out its spirit. They
have seen in the shooting down of a son of
that state the indirect fruit of the spoils sys-
tenn as exemplided and carried out by the
leaders of the republican party and they want
no more of It. The people are ripe for a
change and the near future will witness The
~fruition of their hopes.

Moved westward in 80 years. 457
While much of the westward movement of
the centre of population is undoubtedly due
to the vast area of agricultural lands in the
west and southwest and the mineral bearing
slopes of the Sierra and Rocky Mountains
yet these causes could not have effected it to
any considerable extent had it not been for
the advance of railroads toward the Pa
ciic. This will appear from the following

Ice NorEs. About two-thirds as much ice will
