TWO GREAT STATES.

The two greatest states of the Union
the Empire and the Keystone-will swell
with fresh pride in their pre- eminence when
they look at their representatives in the
Senate. We say nothing about the pri-
vate character of any of these senators;
they may all be respectable enough at
home But Mr.. Cameron, the only one OF
the four who is known beyond his native
village, makes no pretentions to statesman
ship, and is incapable of making ten line
speech in defence of any interest of his
constituents. Mitchell sits under his coa
tail and shows himself when hidden. HI

Guitcau, the assassin, was Republican
campaign speaker during the last contest
and some of his speeches were printed by
the Republican committee. One of them
closes as follows:
Eye men whose sons persisted in the wal

another war? Shall our national treasury
he controlled by ex-rebels and their north
ern allies, to the end that millions of south
ern war claims be liquidated? Ii you want
the public bankrupted, with the prospect
of another war, make Hancock president.
If you want prosperity and peace make
Garfield president, and the republic will
develop till it becomes the greatest and
wcalthiest nation on the globe"
Now, of course, the above is startling
example of the bloody shirt effort. but it
viii never be given as an instance of his
insanity, for men holding high places in
the Republican party have been guilty of
remarks just as bad. The only thing it
proves about Guiteau is that he is good
Republican and has great claims on the
party; man who, in the interest of party,
will so far forget all principles of honesty,
honor and truthfulness as to make speech
of that kind, surely deserves something of
his party. But what rot this bloody
shirt" business vast and how foolish it
seems to us now that we Tread it, now
that the heat of the battle is over and
things political have settled down to a
quiet basis. That the men that uttered
all this bosh ever believed it is not
presumable, but they saw in it a
chance to influence votes, and so long as
they saw chance Co picture before the
northern mind southern Democrat as
some sort of terrible beast, with fiery eyes
and horns and tail more or less developed;
wild beast going around seeking some
poor little weak niger or worthless white
man, whom he would first burn at the
stake and then eat whole, so long did he
wave the ensanguined garment. regardless
of truth or honor. Although no sane man
really believed that the election of Han
cock would be the signal for another war;
indeed, although no living man cOuld IN
derstand how it could possibly be the cause
of another war, unless northern Republi
cans started it, nevertheless, all this hub
bub did influence votes, although it is a
standing reproach to northern intelligence
that such should be the fact. Guiteau was
not alone in that style of argument; it was
universal.

The news from Washington continues
to be very conflicting and leaves many
things in doubt. In fact serious apprehen-
sions were felt yesterday, although it was
hoped that the alarming reports received
were merely sensational rumors. The re-
port that the New York stock market was
affected by reason of private kilograms
from Washington was somewhat alarming,
but the news came at the same time that
the entire city was filled with extravagant
rumors, and it was then thought that the
trouble in the stock market could be
traced to that. The report that came
from New York that DR.. Hamilton said
that the President already had pyemia was
no doubt false. The noticeable reticence of
the physicians during yesterday was a bad
sign and caused much complaint, while the
doubt as to whether second operation
had been performed or not, was one which
should never have been allowed. As far
as can be definately learned the President
is no worse, but it seems oil danger has
not passed.

THE PRIZE oF HERKIMER

1t was the evening of the 10th. Herki-
mer was agitated from centre to circumfer-
ence. A man was putting two store boxes
together in front of "the residence of the
County Judge" and several small boys
were in consultation with regard to q tar
barrel The barkeeper at the village
tavern arose and mechanically busted the
glasses on the counter. The store clerk
put on his coat, and the blacksmith shut
up. A great event was impeding-the
Honorable Warner Miller was about to re-
turn to his home. The elaborate prepare
tions of which these Were but the onward
signs, for the proper reception of the
favorite son of New York were scarcely
completed when the scream of the engine
announced the approach of the beloved
Statesman, and the population, with touch
ing unanimity, flocked to the station 1t
was proud moment for Miller His soul
| swelled, and his heart was pulpy-wood
pulpy so to speak
But Yesterday Warner Miller had been
unknown, except to the few who kept the
run of paper monopoly, beyond the con-
fines of this honored village. To-day he
was United States Senator. and some
thing more than the peer of Roscoe Conk-
ling. To morrow he might be distributing
post offices and revenue collectorships. 1t
eyes of this sleepy neighborhood; and ev-
erybody was naturally enthusiastic A
man from Herkimer had already been
made clerk of one House of the Legisla-
ture, and here was another, whom nobody
had ever dreamed was in the least danger
of such visitation of Providence, actually
made Senator! 1t was no fiction, for he
stood there live, smiling and bowling.
with all his blushing honors upon him.
A procession was formed. Counting
two hundred boys, there were at least
three hundred persons in line. Herkimer
never, on any previous occasion, SO bitter
" regretted that it had no brass band; but
an accommodating man whistled lively
tune. and marched at the head of the inn
posing column to the two store boxes,
where Miller returned thanks, and promised
to perform the duties of Senator with all
the ability and integrity God had given
him, an obligation which even these enthu-
siastic neighbors must have regarded as
extremely indefinite.
Then Miller was escorted home Ito
collation. of ice cream, lemonade, and cake,
after which the great man was left in the
bosom of his family. Miller might well
have been happy. New York State was
provided with worthy successor of
Wright and Seward. He hailed from Her
kimer, and Herkimer was true!-N 7. Sun.

The death of Justice Nathan Clifford o

The death of Justice Nathan Clifford OF
tie United States supreme court was not
an unlocked for event. He has been for
some time incapacitated to sit as a judge or
perform any official act, or even to resign
his scat. He had reached the ripe age of
70 years. Judge Clifford was native of
New Hampshire but was appointed from
Maine IN 1858 by Mr.. Buchanan. He was
an able and upright judge, always bearing
himself with dignity and performing his
Office with entire freedom from party bias
and passing expediency. In politics he
was a Democrat, and his death viii leave
that tribunal with but one member who is
not Republican. Stephen j. Field, ap-
pointed in 1853 by Mr.. Lincoln, is q Dem
ocrat. 1t is probable Republican will be
appointed to succeed Judge Clifford. No
convictions on the subject of civil service
will be likely to have sufficient force to in
duce Republican president to forego his
inclinations so tar as to make even @ judi
cial appointment outside his own party.
The supreme court at its first session in
1880 consisted of a chief justice and five as
sociates. The number of associate justices
was increased to six in 1907, and to eight in
1887 and to nine in 1868. 1t was decreased
to eight in 1865, and to seven in 1857; and
again increased to eight in 1870. The court
is now composed as follows, with one va
cancy:
Chief Justice Morrison r. Waite, Ohio,
appointed January 81, 1874.
Jnstice Noah FL. Swayne, Ohio, appoint
ed January IL, 1865.
Justice Samuel F. Miller Iowa, appoint
ed July 49, 1869.
Justice Stephen j. Field, California,
March 10, 1868.
Justice Joseph P, Bradley, New Jersey,
March 81, 1870.
Justice John Ell. Harlan, Kentucky, No
vember 30, 1877.
Justice VIM. B. Woods, Georgia, De
cember 81, 1880.
Justice Stanley Matthews, Ohio, March,

ern man, three being from Ohio, and the
others scattered over the West and South.

The Associated Press agent tsle-

coupled with the statement that
Conkling left "the hotel at 8, and had
not returned at 1880" the inference
being that the great Roscoe was

IN their estimation has assumed terrible
proportions. When. how, and where,
and OF what it consists, no one knows, st

able TO tell.
Taking the ground that any one who

honorable in my course. sincerely beg
of them that they will not spare MY
