President Garfeld's Literary Effects.

Referring to Mrs.. G4rfeld's letter. gen
tleman who has charge OF General Garhelds
literary effects. who was one Of the Presi-
dents nearest friends and who will continue
70 be Mrs Garteid's most confidential adj
wiser. said the other day TO a leading pub
fisher "a be sat 10 the room in which a great
MANY Of the effects Of the late President are
stored
Look a, those boxes" pointing TO
great number Of large boxes. such as are
used by Congressman for the packing Of
books, they are full Of letters received by
General Garfield during his career a. Con
gresham and President. They cover a mum.
Der of wears and are from vast number Of
persons on every conceivable subject. His
settess were preserved with great care. clas-
sifed. briefed and arranged in good system.
We have everything out Of which an anthem
fic life can be written, such life, Of course,
as vas not and could not have properly been
produced during the campaign. The let
tiers are from persons Of all parties and from
many countries
MATERIAL FoR BIOGRAPHY.
The majority of them were written by
living men. They relate 10 live subjects
Many Of them it would not be proper TO
print More than all that, Mrs. Garfield
has copies Of answers 10 nearly every one
of the letters included in this voluminous
correspondence. These answers are not
many of them in letiespress but they all
exist in some form, either in rough drafts or
in shorthand notes, in books which are well
arranged as 10 years and months, and which
are carefully indexed as TO subject matter
and persons. The persons ~bB took these
notes live, and of course, will be only too
willing 70 render service in reproducing ma
4erials which may be essential to an aceu-
rate biography of General Garfield"
MRS. GARyIELD's PART.
aHas Mrs. Garfield gisen the matter of
a biography any special consideration ?"
was asked.
aShe has thought Of it q good deal.
She aspires TO give il in great measure her
personal supervision. She may contribute
something to i; herself, as she is a scholarly
woman and through all Garheld's life was
a partner in his literary iabors and in bis
political ambitions, as well as in bis hone
circle. She is quite competent herself to
do such a work, but it is not likely that she
will undertake the task alone. Some con-
petent person will be selected, If such
person has not already been chosen, and
distinguished publisher will undoubtedly
give his imprint to the work. There al
ready is a considerable competition for the
privilege of publishing it. Mrs. Garfeld's
.,lan. SO far as il has been outlined, will be
: comprehensive one, and could scarcely
he executed in work of less than two vol
sImes. The work would. of course, include
Liberal extracts from the correspondence. |
10 not know bow soon the biography will be
undertaken. or what the details Of it may be,
but il undoubtedly vill be done, and Mrs.
Garfield will spare no expense to make IT
worthy Of her husbands fame"

An employer should always manage
to oversee the work which is being per-
formed. A general and intelligent over
sight is very different from petty and ir-
ritating meddling. The appreciative
eye which discovers real merit and re-
wards it by increasing trust, which dis
Germs unfaithfulness or slackness and
visits it with just rebuke, is potent in
fluence to produce good and true work.
Many of the steps in doing work, many
of the methods by which it is done, may
be judiciously left TO the discretion Of
the agent; but to see to it that the work
itself is well done, to show an intelligent
and lively interest in it, to tolerate no
unfaithfulness, and to show appreciation
of all real excellence is the duty and to
the interest of every employer.

There was a "hog car" in the mid
die of passenger train in Peoria lately.
The father instructed the youngsters
how to rush quickly for the ear as soon
as the gate was open, and each one of
them (five) turn over the back Of seat
so as to secure four seats apiece on the
shady side. This they did, and when
the whole party of ten, including nurse
and baby, got in, they spread them
selves over the whole twenty-six seats
on that side of the car, except the end
benches. No one else could get a seat
on that side without an ugly dispute
with both parents and children. The
father and mother had four seats, two
of them being for their traps and their
wraps, and for their feet; two little boys
had four seats for themselves and their
bird cages and rabbit boxes; a grown
up son and $ "young lady" daughter
each had four seats; the nurse and baby
had four, and so it went through the
family.

A means OF getting rid of INITIATED cur
reney has been discovered in the st. Louis
churches where the coins are dropped in
the collectors box. Prominent ministers
there are reported as saying that the. effort
to pass mutilated money has been produc-
tive of more profit to the church than
when all sorts of bric-a brac was passable.
A man now who holds a punched halfdol-
lar. after essaying TO pass it off for mer-
'chandise and being unsuccessful. finally
resorts to the collection box, and, with the
shortsightedness peculiar to roguery, he
drops half dollar or 3 quar- ter where
formerly nickel or q dime suficed. The
money, when it accumulates, is sent to
the United States mint where it is re-
ceived and paid for as bullion, entailing a
loss of five per cent.

THE Presidents message was probably

So says the Moline Dispatch, and it is
about as cheeky statement as that jour
nal could well make. I'VE could print to-

as the first knowledge the Dispatch could

The long expected message has come,

The long expected message has come
and its principle characteristic seems tt
be length; in that it is preeminent, con
tanning in all about 1920 words. II
treating of our foreign relations it is con
gratulatory to an extent that inspires u:
with the belief that we are a community
! of Quakers, and quarrels and strife are
/ foreign to our natures; our standing with
i the outside world is represented as being
most pacific, and no desire to knock 8
chip off anyone's shoulder is displayed.
The Panama canal case is treated ex
hanstively, and the necessity of the United
States having full control of that territory
is insisted upon. The logic of this de-
mand is too apparent to require argument,
and Americans all viii unite in secondine
the government in this stand.
The international difficulties into which
the republics of South America are now
plunged are commented on, and the Presi-
dent takes the ground that this country
should act as local peace-maker.
Our relations with the Chinese and
japanese governments are commented on,
although one looks in vain for anything
| like an opinion as to the manner IN which
the Chinese in this country should be dealt
with.
On financial matters, President Arthur
has made up his mind that we are getting
rich altogether too fast, and consequently
advocates reduction of taxation. He is
DESTROYS that the internal revenue be de-
creased, and rightly, if a reduction of re-
ceipts are what he wishes, that there be no
reduction in the duties on imports.
In speaking of the tariff, his caution
shows itself, and while on the one hand he
thinks perhaps, some change should be
made, yet he thinks it had better be made
with caution; and he is fearful some inter
ests might suffer, and so on, until one is
lost in maze of bewilderment as to what
he does mean.
On the subject of polygamy he comes to
the point, and advocates strong and deter
mined legislation against that evil. There
is some ring to hisutterances on that point,
and it is to be hoped that something more
than talk will grow out Of it. Utah, in its
present condition, is standing reproach |
to the civilization OF cur country.
In treating of the pension office, he is
but enough is said to show
that he fully recognizes what fraud the
thing is at present
The President devotes considerable space
% civil service reform. and is prolific in
but when one thinks of the
previous history of Arthur, and his late ac
ions in Virginia, one is tempted to style
lis professions q noise, and after that,

The matter Of our carrying trade is
discussed in particularly weak manner.
Attention is called to the fact that while
