Scholarly Presidents.

The impression has gone abroad
that Garfield was the only scholarly
man who ever occupied the White
House, but the Chicago Times rises to
explain that this great error. 1t
recalls the fact that Jefferson was a
graduate of William and Mary, aud
had a thorough classical education.
Infinite pains were bestowed upon
the education of John Quincy Adams,
who not only graduated at Harvard,
but had the advantage of European
schools as well. His father, the sec.
ond president, was also graduate Of
Harvard. Madison hand the dip
Iona of Princeton, Tyler of William
and Mary, Pierce of Bowdoin, Buch-
anan of the less famous college Of
Dickinson, Penn, and Hayes of Ken
yon. Grant was not classical
scholar, but received what he consid.
cred the very thorough training of
West Point. President Arthur was
a school master at one time in his
life.

The FRITZ CASE.


The death of Captain Fritz was a de-
cidedly perplexing occurrence, and though
a majority of the Coroner's jury were
agreed that it was case of suicide, there
is certainly room for doubt on that head.
The absence of all motive for suicide is a
very strong circumstance. The position OF
the body when found is not really at all
well understood, for Mrs Fritz cut it down
and placed it on the bed at once, and her
recollection of the attitude in which she
found her husband may very naturally be
somewhat confused. The fact that he had
once before put chain round his neck in
order to brighten his wife is further sug-
gestive of a similar purpose. Or he may
have been trying an experiment, as many
men have done before him, and some with as
disastrous results. The probability that he
had any settled or deliberate intention of
taking his own life appears to be extremely
small, in fact. and it diminishes the more
carefully the whole case is examined. The
assertion (or assumption) that man could
not have been strangled accidentally under
the circumstances, is very rash one.
Acrobats accustomed t0simulate hanging
in public, have unintentionally choked
themselves to death before now. A sudden
faintness, a cramp in the limbs, might con-
vert foolish jest of this kind into grim
reality, and this we are strongly disposed
to believe is what happened in the case OF
Captain Fritz The circumstances certain.
ly were SO obscure and doubtful that the
Coroner's jury ought to have returned an
open verdict.

cious in regard to the French wines sold in
this country, and are now inclined to
prefer the home brands. The demand for
these Is so great that, as prominent wine
merchant told Tribute reporter the other
day, If it increases much more the American
wines Will soon be staple article like sugar,
tea and coffee. More and more money Is
being invested every day in the wine bust
ness, and according to Arpad Harazthy, the
Hungarian producer Of California, over $780,
000, COG is invested on the Pacific coast alone.
Last year California produced 10, 600, 900
gallons of wine, of which 700. 600 gallons
were sweet wine. OF brandy, 450, 600 gallons
were manufactured; also raisins to the value
of 100000. The sale of grapes for table use
yielded Sl50,O00. The total yield from the
culture OF the grape amounted to So, aO0, QUO.
Over 10. COO acres were planted in grape vines
also, and it is said that this year 90 600 acres
will be added. Good grape lands can
be had in some localities for from $40
to $40, while in Others they are valued
as high as Sl00 an acre. It cost on an av-
erage about $50 to prepare and plant an acre
with vines before they bear and return
profit. Besides the land already used for
grape culture, there are over 100. coo acres of
unsurveyed land in California suitable for
this purpose. According to the mer-
chant above mentioned, the increasing
demsAd for California wines will not causesa
rise in the prices, despite the fact that grape
growers last winter asked almost double
prices for their grapes One evil. however,
which may result from the popularity of home
wires is an increase in the low grades of imi-
tation or charged" champagnes, which
tend to produce prejudice against all
American champaenes.

exculpate Mr.. Blaine if the latter was
really compromised, so his fiat denial of
the truth of the Suns statement
must be accepted as conclusive. 1t has
been evident for long time that MIR.
Blaine's enemies would dearly like to be
able to fasten some scandal upon him.
This has been apparent, curiously enough,
ever since the star route frauds began to
be examined. The inference is that the
thieves think Mr.. Blaine could prevent the
exploitation of the postal frauds, aud that
they are very angry because he either will
not or cannot use his influence to this end.
Perhaps before they get to the end of this
inquiry they will realize that General Car
field is President, and not Mr.. Blaine or
auy other, and that President Garfield is
not infrm of purpose" as some execu-
tives are suspected of having been. Mr..
Blaine no doubt can take care of himself,
and the thieves will find that there is
nothing to be gained ty throwing mud
promiseuously at all the members of the
Administration.

The BoDIs CRUSADERS.

1t appears that the Bodie crusaders did
actually muster resolution enough to march
to the camp of their intended victims
the distance Of which has been variously
stated al twenty-five and sixty miles. On
reaching the ground they discovered that
the railroad company had been beforehand
with them, and Lad removed all tho
Chinese to an island in the middle of Memo
Lake, using for this purpose the only
steamer on the lake. So the Bodie hood.
lums were disappointed of their prey, and
had no recourse but to march back, sere.
footed and dry-throated as lime llilns, and
it is 10 be hoped cured OF their Anti.
Chinese mania. 1t is fortunate that the
means of escape employed were at hand,
for had these rniiians found the Chinese in
their camp there would probably have been
SEINE gross outrage perpetrated by them.
The authorities at Bodie ought to estab-
lish chain. gang whereby to work off the
''cussedness" OF the loafers who have
nothing better to do than or anize Anti
Chinese crusades.

THE ATTACK ON BLAINE.

The New York SINS attack on Blaine in
connection with the star route frauds is
too obviously inspired b. the men who are
really inculpated in that iniamy. It must
be regarded as part and parcel of the
defense which Brady and his gang are try
ing to make defense which thus far ha,
consisted almost entirely in threatening to
accuse whoever insisted upon the pursuit OF
the investigation. with calnmnious charges.
The San is no doubt peculiarly convenient
organ for these assaults, for it has no repu-
tation to lose, ard therefore it can afford to
print the most reckless and malicious
fables at aay time. In the present case, il
the purpose was TO insridate Sir. Blaine,
it has failed signaily. Being foolish accu-
sation it was moreover very easily refuted.
1t does not seem TO have occurred to those
who made i. tina. the Attorney. G eneral was
in position to extinguish false charge
instantly, having all the facts in his pos
session; and that since he could not afford to

TaE ALBANY SITUATION.

The latest news from Albany continues
to be as ambiguous as ever. On the one
hand it is asserted by the Conkliug;tes
that they have secured the necessary
number of votes, and that they viii re-
elect their leaders On the other hand it
is asserted that they have done nothing of
the kind, and that Conkling has at length
realized the impossibility of an immediate
reelection, and therefore has changed his
programme, and determined to postpone
the election until next winter If there is
any truth in this last statement it would
constitute virtual confession of defeat on
the part of ConkGng. For it is perfectly
clear that if he has not strength enough to
re-elect himself now, he will have far less
next winter, and that if he gives up the
present contest by postponement he must
give up all hope of going back to the
Senate. No other Interpretation can be
put upon such state of affairs as is indi-
Gated. 1t may indeed be said that whereas
his present defeat is certain, bis future
defeat cam, be equally certain, but this is
oaly true relatively. At this moment
he doubtless possesses certain element Of
strength which is more sentimental than
p-act:cal, and which wculd not stand the
test OF reflection and time. When once he
Is removed from the political cbessboard
he must lose his present prestige. and If he
returns TO the fight again he will have TO
begin from The very foundation, aud he
will be fatally handicapped by the knowl-
lege CT his hostility to the Administration.
His present defeat would OF course greatly
increase the prestige of the Administration,
aud there are very few politicians, especially
of the stalwsrt stripe, who would be
proof against the practical considerations
deducible from dispassionate comparison
OF the relative potentialities of the con-
tending forces. The Administration with
everything to give, on the one side; Mr..
Conkiing with nothing to give but
NhASLC- -LaC, Oh Tie OlEtT- II Is lflpOS-
sible to doubt that such a com.
parison would complete the collapse of
NJ Conklin IS cohorts, and that they
would after making it hasten to range
themselves on the side of successful pow
ers. Therefore, it follows inevitably
that if he has decided to seek postpone
ment OF the Senatorial election he is driven
to the wall completely And it is by 70
means certain that he can secure such a
postponement. In fact, the presumption
Is that ii he had the strength to do that he
could dc without it. OF course all specula-
ton on so involveda subject is more or less
futile fer it is impossible to be certain that
the premises argued from are trustworthy.
This, however, is clear without any help
from Albany, namely, thai after what has
passed Mr.. Conkling's re. election could not
serve him in any substantial way, and that
it could not be in any sense "vindica-
tion.''
