Arthur's Golden silence.

President Arthur's golden silence con-
tinues to disturb the equanlnity Of all the false
prophets and the busy bodies and justides the
innate OF his friends of his prudence sound judg-
ment and statesmanlike qualities, which fit him
for his exalted place. His action is In full keep
ing with his entire life. He has not only been
wise in his words, but no man can point to an act,
public or private upon which there is stain.
The men In his own party who two months ago
without reason or excuse assai1ed General Arthur
will awake 10 sense of the deep wrong us they
see the man and witness the wise aud honorable
methods chosen In the discharge OF the great trust
which, unsolicited, has been thrust upon him
The honest, thinking men Of the nation may well
rally about him, with the assurance that every in-
terest of the country is safe in his hands.

10 tlle Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN:
Ifthere ever was an instance that would
justify brave man for declining to accept chal-
lenge from n man equally brave the present Diff
Guilty between Senator Malone and General Early
furnishes strong case. In comparing the status
ofthese two men It can be readily seen that the
Senator has vast interest at stake BY being prin
cipal in duel. To send or accept a challenge he
forfcs his seat In the United States Senate; he de-
bars himself from the privilege of holding an office
In his own State, and all the rights of citizenship
while, on the other hand, General Early
has nothing at stake but his personal
honor Not being n citizen Of the
United States he forleits nothing-not even the
right to vote for national or State officers. Hence
the unequal contest in q mortal combat between n
United States senGtor-a great and much respected
political leader, man enjoying the unlimited
privileges OF fcitizenshp-and man who utterly
dsclaims all allegiance to or dependence upon
the Government of the United States" That Cen

Dost thou tremble, tender maiden.

Dost thou fear, and dost thou falter
When thou kneelest at the alter?
With the bridegroom by thee now,
Wilt thou take the marriage VOW?

Thou hast given away,
Without fear, o trustful maiden,
Give thy hand to-day.
Leaving father, leaving mother,
Give thy life unto another;
Taking back dearcr life.

She had no rocker or easy char in

had been loftily answered:
"The cheap rooms furnish their
