1t is stated, and is true, that every man

Of his President has proved failure. II
is also asserted that this is due to the fac,
that they have always pursued comprom

policy is what the half-breeds and senti-
mentalists throughout the country are ask
ing Arthur to follow. 1t remains to be
seen whether he will follow their advice
and of necessity result in failure, or strike
out for himself and take his chances on it.
The latter course would seem preferable.

The week has been saddened for all

one neither sovereign nor relative pre-
cisely expressed the universal feeling that
an Englishman who was in the place OF a
King, and worthy to rank with Kings,
had passed away. It is not an exagger-
alton to say that. of the SO, 000, 900 people
who now think in English, there are not
fifty who would not have made some sac
rifice to aid the late President in his strug
gle for life. This fact may yet affect the
history of the world. All Englishmen are
interested in the only Englishman who
reigns by election. and soIicltous that he

The president of the United States exef.

occupant of the English throne. He COM
bines in his own person the most impor-
tant functions of the sovereign and OF the
Prime minister in constitutional States,
and the transfer of the Presidential pow
ers may easily be much more serious
matter than change in the wearer of a
crown. Yet this devolution of power was
accomplished as quietly, with as little in
corruption to the business of the republic,
as if the scat that had been vacated and re-
filled had been that Of clerk in the post
Office instead of being that of the Chief
Executive of the most powerful nation In
the world. ~

Malone has been trying to teach the re-
publican Union League club of New York,
that reputation was the highest form OF
honesty, and that the republican party OF
the north should support him for the sake
of the rights of the colored votes and the
cause of education. The New York Eoeaa-
ing Post disposes of him in this manner:
His position on the financial question
is that the state equitably only owes $40,
900, 900, although nominally or technically
she owes $33, 000, 900, which latter amount
is what the democrats, he says, would have
her pay. Therefore, he accuses them of
wishing to pay $13.000,o00 which the
state does not owe. in order to purchase
the character of honesty This outlay,
however, he pronounces entirely unneces
sary, because says he, honesty is innate
to the character of the people This doc
trine will be hailed with delight by large
numbers of debtors both public and pri-
vate, who have disputes with their credi-
tors because great deal of money is paid
every year by persons who think they do
not rightfully owe it. merely to keep up
their reputation, or to, as the phrase is
save their credit On Mr.. Mahone's doc
trine they viii hereafter be able to tske a
strict-constructionist view of their obliga-
tons. alleging the inherent pnrity of their
character. 1t reminds us a little of the re-
fusal of the rich old Dutchman to sub
scribe to Washington's monument in Union
square, on the ground that he needed no
monument to remind him of Washington,
because he had his memory here, slapping
himself over the heart. The monument,
therefore, seemed to him useless ex
peuse
