Malone thus expresses his feelings in re
gard to the resignation of Conkling and
t'other: "Wen, this places me in devil
of a fix. I don't like it, l don't under
stand it, to begin with. Garfeld's my
friend and Conkling's my friend I want
them to be friends. I have regretted the
events of the past few weeks, in connec-
ton with those New York nominations;
still / hope that it will all come out right
in the end. want to see the Republican
party solid-every element in it in har
mony with every other. 1t is the party
of progress, of liberty, of liberal ideas 1t
ought not to be torn with discussions and
strifes"
Ofcourse it places you in fix Mr. Malone
a fix you will find hard to get out of. When
your vote wos the deciding one, it was
valuable article of merchandise; but now
that no party needs it particularly, its
market price has fallen terribly. 1t is very
sad to see your property depreciate on
your hands, but under the present circum-
stance it is impossible to bull the market

THE NONRESIDENT.

/ 1t is not the least curious part of the ex-
| traordinBry quarrel between President
Garfield and Senator Conkling that Gen.
Arthur has permitted himself to be drawn
into it. Senator Platt, of New York, also
! figures in it as a partisan OF his more dis
tinguishcd colleage; but the little that is
known of Senator Plat deprives this fact
of significance Gen. Arthur is vice-pres-
| ident of the United States, second officer
of the government, with the right of sue
ateain0fa1 ttAf0 fast il the event Of the
occupies position similar to that of the
heir apparent in a monarchy. There ought
to subsist between the president and him
| self cordial courtesy, and he ought not to
allow this relation to be ruptured or strain
/ ed by any ordinary consideration. When
| the administration came into power the
! vice president recognized the obligations
upon him, and placed himself on the most
friendly footing at the White House, going
to the extent of playing the part of usher
to the president at the receptions. But
all this is changed. The vice-president
has placed himself at the service
of Senator Conkling and has be-
come an antagonist of his official
chief His participation in the note of
March %, protesting against the Robert
son appointment as an act of bad faith
was an inexcnsable violation of the
decorum that ought to subsist between the
two high stations. for it has become well
recognized prescription that the vice-pre-
dent, of all men, has least business inter
fering with the executive appointments.
No doubt Gen. Arthurs old friendly obli-
cations to Mr.. Conkling were strengthened
by the latter's art making him vice presi-
dent Bnt he ought not to forget that he
owes something to his position as well as
to Mr.. Conkling. 1t is an egregous error
that he is bound to follow the senator in |
all the hostile enterprises he may under |
take,
1t looks as though the administration |
were to have trouble through its entire |
term. Mr., Conkling adroitly managed to
decoy the vice-president and one member
of the cabinet into the protest against the
Robertson appointment, and though it is
stated that Postmaster General James is
now on the side of the President, his de
clared opposition to the nomination, which
has assumed so serious phase, cannot but
impair the cordiality that ought to be
between member of the cabi-
net and the President. In the war which
Senator COnkling has forced upon the
President, the latter cannot afford to have
N his camp a confidential adviser even
of sympaihizing with the enemy
4 Mr. Garfield is to fight the two New
Z ork senators and the ce-president, he ,
will need to have the most trusty advisers
around him.-6t LOUIS Republican.

The past attitude of the Des Moines
Register on the Canal question has excited
considerable comment throughout the State.
Its present change of base is thus explained
by the Inter Ocean:
The Des Moines Register has heard from
its subscribers, and comes down from its
high horse on the canal question. Since
this change of wind, as it were, iowa will
be glad to see the canal built. The more
routes of the kind for Iowa produce to the
sea, the better" The Register is slow, but
a good shaking wakes it up long enough to
prevent it from cutting off its nose to spite
re face

AS was expected the new version of the
bible has provoked much opposition from
various classes of readers.
That the new version is the more correct
there is little doubt; but in many instanc-
es the new translators, have allowed de-
sire for some small change, to induce them
to make corrections that are of no force as
far as the sense is concerned. and certainly
do spoil the robustness and strength of the
most beautiful English in all our literature.
Some of these changes were nee
essary even at the cost of the beauty,
as where the word ''love' is substituted
for charity" in St, Paul's eloquent tribute
to that virtue; for in these days charity
expresses to US an entirely different mean
ing than that intended by the apostle
and while it has been known and conceed-
ed by all theologians that '-love" was the
proper word; yet il is primarily necessary,
in book like the bible, that the text
should be so accurate, and the words so
well chosen that the most ignorant reader
need .have no eXpla1ner to enable him to
understand the true meaning of its pass
ages.
But there is another class of corrections
instance is the sentence: Before Abra-
ham was. am, :" which has been changed
to: Before Abraham came into existence, I
am" There is nothing in the change to
commend it. 1t means no more, and GER
tainly does make commonplace what was
formerly striking and beautiful sentence.
1t is a change which is well illustrated by
a story told of Ben Johnson The doe
tor, while at q country house, picked |
up off the table, new Oxford version of |
the New Testament edited by a freshly
graduated curate, in which the editor had
changed the most simple, touching and
beautiful passage in the whole Bible,
Jesus wept," into Jesus, the saviour of
all humanity was dissolved in tears "
Puppy" said the Doctor, as he threw the
book across the room, and if the editor had
been present, he would undoubtedly have
thrown it at his head

An excitement like the Conkling- Gar
field row is apt to make people forget 9th,
er things for the time being. In the pres
ent instance it has resulted both well and
badly. It has made people forget Ma
hone; which is well. That senator cannot
be relegated to obscurity any too soon.
1t has also made people forget the star
route ring; which is bad That gang can
not be kept before the eyes of the country
too plainly until they are convicted; and
then let them be passed over with Malone
as subjects in which the country has no
further interest.

POT s ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Catarrh
explains the following important facts:
L That Catarrhal Colds become moi
souous infection, first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
g. That impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito- urinary organs.
a. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhpa
and Consumption,
5. That Smokes, Douchcs, Inhalations, and
lnsoube Saufs, cannot possibly remove in
ectious indammations from the organs named.
8. That an autidote Tor Catarrh must pos
sess an inOcuIative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infallible. 1t not only reIeaves, 1t cures
