GENERAL GARFIELD's INAUGURAL AD-
DRESS.


We publish this morning the full text
of President Garfeld's inaugural ad-
dress. These addresses have come,
of late years, to mean very lit
tie, and the most that can be looked
for in them is faint adumbration of the
policy to be pursued by the new admins
tration. General Garfield however always
writes and speaks forcibly and gracefully.
and even when his sentences are not over
charged with significance their English is
undeniably good. In the present instance
he has given the country sufficiently dig.
nifed and stately review of its situation,
interfering here and there his we'll known
ideas respecting the old issues which have
been so nearly settled, and pausing occa-
sionally to make himself clearly under
stood upon some real living issue,
as that of the currency. In his re-
marks upon this there is no I'm.
certainty. He declares himself what
he has always been, hard and honest
money man, and he intimates that his adj
ministration will be found consistent upon
this head throughout. This is encouraging,
though it is no more than the country had
right to expect from him. As regards
other questions he is more diffuse and less
positive. He condemns polygamy in sound
terms, indeed, and he takes position on
the interoceanic canal question very SINH
lar to that of his predecessor. His refer
ence to the conduct of the public business
and the settlement of the Southern ques-
ton are less full and in some respects less
satisfactory than might have been looked
for The address, however, is not in any
real sense declaration of principles which
binds the President, and it may easily be
understood that he does not wish to COM
NIT himself too definitely upon some issues
until he has had time to form his pro-
gramme. The inaugural as whole is a
better literary effort than usual, and con.
tains broader views and more virile
thoughts than the public have been accus-
toned to of late years from the Executive.
There are some parts of it which deserve a
more extended examination than can be
accorded them after hasty perusal, how
ever, and we shall therefore leave our
readers to form their own judgments as to
the merits of the address, for the present.

TIE ADJOURNMENT OF TIE LEGIsLA-
TURE

The Legislature has adjourned, but
under circumstances which must render it
necessary to call an extra session. The
delays which have made the past session
so barren of results have been attributable
to several causes. The determination of a
portion of the members to secure the re.
peal of the Drainage Act led to the vast
ing of much valuable time, but the failure
of the appropriation and superintendent
bills was due to partisan policy. The
Democrats refused to allow the apportion-
ment bill to be brought up, and therefore
the Republicans would not consent to the
passage of the appropriation bill. We
have already expressed the opinion that
this was mistake, and the future will
demonstrate whether or not we are right.
While, however, much blame undoubtedly
rests upon the several factions in the
Legislature for their obstructive tactics, it
is almost impossible to apportion censure
SO as to put the main responsibility upon
either party. 1t must be realized that at
the outset the work to be done was far
greater than ought to have been crowded
within sixty days, and here the fault
clearly lies with the new Constitution.
The county government bill alone might
easily have consumed two-thirds of SO
short session, and there were many almost
/ .aL
not have been done Justice to in the time
at disposal. The number of bills intro
duced was indeed out of all reason, and
this shows how fallacious was the supposi.
ton that the new Constitution would
shorten and simplify legislation. 1t was
argued that because of the provision
against special legislation it would be found
easy to transact all the business of the ses-

p1LLoN,s MILD MEASURES.

Mr.. Dillon, an Irish Member Of Parlia-
ment, observed in speech the other night,
that if he were tenant in Ireland he
would keep q rifle wherewith to shoot
landlords. As Mr.. Dillon subsequently
declared that he had not advocated assassi-
nation, it is rather difficult to get at his
ideas as to the real nature of landlord.
shooting. The House, however, evidently
believed that he meant what he said, and
the effect was naturally to intensity the
prevailing hostility to the Land Leaguers.
1t is by such eminently judicious and
temperate remarks that the followers of
Mr.. Parnell appear to be paving the way
for a dispassionate consideration Of the
Irish problem in the English Parliament.

LEssEps PRODUCES MORE TAFFY.

Thus far NJ. Lesseps has shown himself
rather an inexhaustible producer of mellif-
luous assurances than practical protector,
so far as his Panama Canal is concerned.
For several months he has been emitting
the most roseate pictures of the future of
his scheme, but it is to be noted that the
prosecution of the scheme itself somehow
hangs fire. In fact it is beginning to be
believed that the enthusiastic and imags
NATIVE old gentleman has altogether over
done the putting business, and that the
recklesspess and exaggeration of his state
ments have frightened capital away from
the enterprise, instead of attracting it.
This is the conclusion to which many
shrewd observers have come, and unless he
can demonstrate the genuineness of his
boasts by speedily commencing work on the
canal, the prospect is that the whole affair
will before long collapse like pricked
bladder

saERmAN's FAREWELL ADDRESS.

Secretary Sherman's farewell address to
the clerks of the Treasury Department is in
one respect very remarkable document.
1t is so far departure from the corven.
tional form of valedictories as to dwell
with special emphasis upon the Importance
to the country, not of those who are going
out of office, but of those who are to re-
main in office. With generosity which
does him infinite credit the Secretary calls
attention to the invaluable services of those
unknown and unnoted servants of the
Government upon whose skill and expert
ence every head of department is COM
PEELED to rely, and who are the real man
ayers of the department because they are
the most competent to conduct its bust
ness. A more emphatic tribute to tie
principles of civil service reform has in fact
never been made than this address consti-
tutes 1t has long been well known to
the initiated that the real work of the de-
partments is not done by their nominal
heads, but that there are certain men
who hold office permanently, no matter
what changes of administration occur, SIM
ply because no chief can get along without
their aid. In these cases we find
civil service reform principles APP
piled perforce. 1t has to be re-
cognized and practically acknowledged
even by the most inveterate upholders of
the spoils system that when the really
important and responsible work of the
country is to be done, it ia absolutely
necessary to depend upon skill and expe-
rience and special fitness. Secretary Sher-
man in his address plainly intimates that
the heavy work of his department has
always been performed by such men, and
that without their assistance he would
have been powerless. In truth it is moth
ing but this compulsory restriction of the
spoils system that has made it possible to
carry ON the work of the Government at
all If that system were at any time to
be applied without distinction of persons,
and if every department were to be cleared
out from top to bottom once in four years,
the expenses of government would be in
creased tenfold, and its work would not
even then be done. 1t is this leaven of
civil service reform which alone has pre-
served the system from collapse, and Sec
rotary Sherman, whether he intended it or
not, has in his farewell address given some
excellent reasons for extending the appli-
cation of those principles which he admits
to be SO necessary to the success of depart
mental business.

WHICH WAS MOST HURT ?

The New York San fired parting shot
at Mr.. Hayes the other day by reprinting
his portrait with the word Fraud" writ

cratic infamy are full of influence, but in
this it is mistaken. President Hayes
never was fraud, and the Sun knows it.
But the San has never been anything else
than fraud. and the country knows it.

TIE CABINET AND THE BOSSES.

The busy Cabinet makers have for long
time been devising means to reconcile all
the differences between the various heads
of factions in the Republican party. They
have credited President Garfield with
desire to satisfy every one of the Bosses"
In fact. But we have thus far looked in
vain for an appreciation of the rather i'm
portant fact that the aforesaid "Bosses
do not represent the entire Republican
party, and that policy which looked only
to their satisfaction might end in producing
very serious dissatisfaction among those
who, while asking for no offices, yet WELD
power at the polls which no Administra-
lion can ignore or afford to slight.

and anxieties of the mind added to
this physical consuminga
Patience is the quality that is
specially called God like. In view of
the deliberate and eternal processes
of nature, men speak of the grand
patience of God. This divine patience
was impressed on the throng of be-
holders along the Presidents way, as
they eagerly looked upon his pale
and calm face An incident during
the stop at Trenton told q great deal.
The platform of a coaling station
was on such level that a crowd of
workmen could look closely at the
President. An attendant kindly
pulled the curtain, but the sublime
patient asked to have it raised again,
saying that those quiet men would
not hurt him by looking.
Here was total absence of the
querulousness and selfshness which
are prone to enfeeblement by disease
and to the wearing out of patience
by suffering; on the contrary, there
was the full consciousness of the
official station of the President OF
the nation, and full consideration
the feelings of the people. The
glimpse which the public have had
of the strength of N nd, the divine
patience, the undaunted spirit, and
the splendid courage of the Presi-
dent, whose impression the telegraph
has carried to all people, is an unex.
pected and most gratifying feature
of this most gratifying journey, and
is ground for strong hope in his ro.
covery.

PRAYING AT ELBERON,
The President Asks Why the Bells
Were Ringing-An Affecting
Scene.

Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Times,
LONG BRANCH, September s.
Crete said the President to his
brave little wife, about eleven o clock
this morning, as the ringing strokes
from the belfrey of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, almost across from
the cottage, reached his ears, "what
are they ringing that bell for"
Z" That said Mrs. Garfield, who
had been waiting for the surprise j;
that's the church where we were
when you first came down. They're
all going there to pray for you to get
well, and getting on her knees she
said: And I'm going to pray, too,
James, that it may be soon, for I
know alrerdy that the other prayer
has been heard.
From where he lay Garfield could
see the carriages draw up and group
after group go in. He could even
hear the subdued refrain Of Jesus,
lover of my soul, as it was borne by
on it's heavenward way. Thrilled
with emotion, a tear trickled down
the Presidents face. After awhile 8
sweet, woman's voice arose singing
from one of Sir Michael Costa
noblest orations. "Turn Thou unto
me and have mercy upon me" sang
the voice, "for I am desolate; I an
desolate and afflicted the troubles
of my heart are enlarged. o, bring
Thou me out of my distresses, out O
my distresses, my God"

The Wounded Presidents Ovation.

Cincinnati Gazette.
The nations patient has been seen
by the public. Contrary to expecta-
ton, this has1given one of the most
gratifying features of his removal to
the seaside. It has given more
realistic view of his state than the
surgeons bulletins of all these days.
It has shown to the public the pos
session of strong mind, a divine
patience, sublime courage and
lively sensibility to all human things.
The tales of delirium may now be
told in vain And the wel-balanced
strength of spirit which has thus
been shown to the public is ground
for strong hope that the body which
can be possessed by such resolution
cannot fail.
That the expectancy of the jour
ney excited the President was only
natural. 1t might excite we'll man.
1t might excite still more fever pa
tient who had been confined no more
than a week. How much more a
man who had suffered the narrowing,
the fever, and the consuming of an
almost fatal wound for sixty-tive
days! Yet how little the President
was excited by it! That he was
anxious to go was resolution, spirit,
courage. From the hope inspired
by this, positive physical gain may
be looked for.
The public mind has been kept on
the stretch with anxiety fer these
! many days. At the issue of each
morning and evening journal, the
Presidents health is the absorbing
subject, and the frequent bulletins at
the newspaper offices are scanned by
earnest throngs. Each one feels its
weight. But how infnitesimal is
each ones share in this public anx>
iety compared to the sufferings OF
the nations patient, with the shock,
the pain, and the fever of this ter
rible wound consuming his vitality
from day to day for more than two
months, with daily doubt whether
the weakened stomach can receive
food enough to keep life in the body,
with the wound clawed over and
thrust into from day to day, and oc-
casional new cuttings made, and
with the crowding thoughts

The Memphis Avalanche never
tires of discussing the State debt
question. In late issue it says:
The statute authorising the. su
preme court to advance causes on
the docket in which the State is
party has reference to the collection
of the revenue. This is a wise pro-
vision in cases where the collection
of taxes or the public business may
be hindered when the cause comes
up for trial in it's regular order, per
haps to the serious injury of the
people of the State. But the public
debt case before the supreme court
is not one Of these questions. 1t is
purely political question and the
Judges of the supreme court cannot
advance the State debt cause upon
the docket without making them
selves partisans on the main question
which to-day divides the people of
Tennessee into two opposing politi-
cal parties.
If this is political question, then
every question pertaining to the
finances of the State is political. 1t
is partisan issue only in 50 far as it
is made SO by that class of politicians
in the State who expect to control it
in their own interest. They regard
it as political question, of course,
and their only reason for agitating il
is to appeal to ignorance, prejudice
and dishonesty for the purpose Of
gaining ascendency in State politics
But, as we have said time and
again, it ought never to be consider

high and sacred to be discussed or

poverty, life or death. Reputation
is robbery and degradation. To pay
