THERE seems to be a suspicion, Of
disloyalty in the Legislature which de-
serves public notice and condemna
tion. 1t may be only indifference or
apathy, but, uader the circumstances,
that is almost as bad as the other.
Strange to say while majority of the
members Of both houses, including
democrats as well as republicans, are
assisting in the Inauguration of Presi-
dent elect Garfield to-day, three
Of the leading members Of
his party, men we always took to be
solid republicans have absented them
selves from Washington and been
seen going about the streets Of Mem
phis without masks, as if nothing un-
usual required their attention. This
matter demands explanation. When
the roll is called by each clerk at
Washington to day these three gem
tlemen will be missing, and General
Gar6eld's feelings will no doubt be
hurt. If they were only demo-
Gratis their absence might not be no
ticed. Mardi Gras, with its mum
meries, its dazzling dominoes and
electric lights, its bright eyes under
masks, and gorgeous fireworks, seems
to have had more attractions for these
solemn old law makers than the affairs
Of Stateat Washington. If a copy of
this paper happens to be furnished to
the president, they cannot blame any
body but themselves.

factory feeling at having endeavored
to do his duty and do it well, In
the fuhre when the Mardi Gras
season again rolls around, Mr.
Cook will doubtless be called upon to
labor in the interest of the display,
and Of course he will respond with that
alacrity which has always been a no
table feature of his character. Mr..
Cook is a citizen possessing a spirit full
of generosity and enterprise, and it is
always made available when wanted.

During Mardi Gras a daughter of
Sergeant KuDholz of the police had a
pocketboOk stolen from her containing
a few small pieces of silver. The
book was the gift of an esteemed
friend and highly priced. 1t was of
Russia leather, with the owners name
engraved upon the back. II the thief
is good natured he will pocket the
small change and leave the pocketbook

DEAN STANLEY, Of England, is dead.
He was one of the greatest living lights
of the church, and one of the best of
friends TO mankind. He was of hber-
al mind and has done wonders in the
way of evangelizing the world. He
was born in Alderley, Cheshire, Eng
land, December l3, 1915, being over
65 years of age at the time of his death.
He was educated at Rughby (made
famous by Mr.. Hughes Tom
Brown, J, and in 1888 graduated at Ok
ford University, where he subsequent
ly served for twelve years as tutor.
In 1855 he was appointed Canon OF
Canterbury, and was Regius Profess
or of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford,
from 1856 to 1864, when he was made
Dean of Westminster. In November
1874 he was elected Lord Rector Of
the University of st. Andrews His
life was totally given to study, asd his
works, o. which there are some 73

Foster,

We suspect that Mr.. Charles Foster.
the Administration candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio, will fihd his race anything
but an agreeable one. There are great
many open accounts outstanding against
this active and meddlesome little man,
and the present may be deemed very
good time for settleing some of them.
The Stalwarts have number of them.
old and new. The trade with the South
ern Democrats by which those eminent
Stalwarts, Packard and Chamberlain,
went overheard in order to get for HAYES
the office of Mr. Tilden, was something
to which they never could become recon-
ciled. Notwithstanding the sweet words
which John Sherman uttered at Cleve.
land, that cold blooded and willy states
man is known to cherish a strong hope
for revenge. His relations with the par
ties who supply the bulk of the money
tocarry elections for the Republican party
are such that at nod from him those
sources might be instantly dried up, and
nobody be the wiser. Whether he will
consider it for his interest to sink Foster
and Garfield now, or wait for some other
occasion, when he may not only destroy
them, but gain something substantial by
their demise. nobody can foretell. His
speech at Cleveland is no evidence what
ever of his intentions.
But with, the Stalwarts the case is
different. They owe Garfield and Foster
nothing but bIGws. and they make no
secret Of their desire to pay them squarely
and fairly. If they can muster enough
force in Garfield's own state to knock
down his peculiar candidate, and show
that the convention which endorsed him
did not represent the true Republican
sentiment, they will have given the Ad-
ministration mortal wound. And they
need not go out of party lines to do it;
they have only to follow the example of
the Administration at Albany in its fight
upon Conkling, and refuse to let the par
ty lines be drawn at all. ...'..
But the honest voters of Ohio have a
bigger and a blacker score against Foster
than the politicians. We think we see
yet the picture which Mr.. Handy, then
of the Philadelphia Times, drew of Gov.
Foster, emerging from comfortable
dinner the day after the October election
last year, chuckling over the "business
scare" and the 'tariff swindle," by which
the people had been defrauded of their
votSS. hc dOLulCCcu tlcIo dS uO AouA~
dation for either of those partisan cries;
and for that very reason he was all the
more amused and delighted by their Sue
cess. Perhaps some of the voters who
were cheated out of their ballots then,
and have since come to so clear an ap-
probation of the fact, may think it worth
while to teach Mr.. Foster a lesson in
political honesty and sincerity at the
coming election.-M Y. Sun.

Mr.. Bookwalter was born in Frank.
lin County, Indiana, in ls37.and while
yet mere lad showed remarkable tai
ent as an inventive genius and was
the maker OF several telescopes which
attracted considerable attention at the
time. In 1861, Mr.. Leffel, the inven-
tor of the famous water wheel which
has now revolved sufficiently to bring
the hoosier lad into prominence as the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
hearing of the young Bookwalter and
desiring to obtain the services of an
inventive genius, with a view of i'm
proving his patent, paid a visitto Indi
ana, and induced young Bookwalter to
pack up his effects and henceforlh
make his home in the Buckeye king.
dom and grow up TO be a full fledged
Ohio man, and thus did the Democrat.
ic candidate for Governor become a
citizen of the political garden, Ohio.
Soon after arriving at Springfield, Mr.
Bookwalter was placed in charge of the
manufacturing works, making many
improvements from time to time, and
finally becoming partner in the bust
ness which had grown into Importance,
and the Leffel water wheel became
known not only in America, but of the
entire civilized world. Mr.. Bookwal
ter eventually married daughter of
the inventor, and upon the demise of
Mr.. Leffel, came into possession of the
hundreds of patents, and has for years
enjoyed the benefit of controlling a
grand monopoly of the water,wheel in
terests of the country. Mr.. Bookwal-
ter has invented an engine, and has in
his employ large number of men, and
is fair and honorable in his dealings
with them. He has travelled consider
able, has high appreciation of art,
and has, it is said, one of the finest col.
lections of paintings in the State. Mrs.
Bookwalter died few years ago, since
which time Mr.. Bookwalter has made
his home at the Lagonda House, at
Springfield.
