test with rings and corruption in high places.
How, at the time of his greatest triumph, he was
shot down by a dastardly assassin.

TT is the pride of America, that this is country of
l. self-made men. However humble may be the
position of man, he may attain the highest honors
within the gift of his fellow-citizens.
No career in all our history furnishes more bril-
liant example of this than that of Gen. James A.
Garfield. Starting as a poor farmer boy, without
money, position, influence and compelled to
struggle against poverty he has raised himself by
his own unaded efforts to the highest pinnacle of
fame.

THERE is no doubt" says the New Or
leans Times, "that the Southern people are
gradually but surely losing their respect and
admiration for the doctrine of State Rights.
In their desire to hasten the development
OF their material resources, and to secure
the wealth and prosperity to which the ad-
vantages Of their section entitle them, they
do not permit thems elves to be embarrassed
by State lines. They recognize the fact,
and accept it, that the functions of the Ma
tional Government are being gradually en-
larged, and that the sphere of'State Govern
ments is becoming more and more limited.
The States bordering on the Mississippi
River are more than willing that the Ma
tional Government shall build their levees
and keep them in repair. 1t is doubtful if
there is respectable minority in any South
ern State that would oppose the education
OF the negroes at the expense of the Ma
tional Treasury. Indeed, National inter-
ference is welcomed rather than repelled
whenever such interference promises to
help to advance the South's prosperity.
There is, of cour Sc, a good deal of the old
feeling about the rights and dignity of a
sovereign State yet in existence, but it is
safe to say there is no marked feeling of re-
pugnance to strong central government"

The Second District Convention

A Democratic convention in Maine has
refused to eat crow. Ridiculous as the as
sertion may appear, nevertheless it is true.
Spite of the repeated assertions of the
Argus that crow is palatable dish, spite of
the opinion of the Boston Post that crow is
a luxury even, and spite of the testimony
OF Mr.. Isaac 7. Hobson and several other
connoisseurs that this particular crow was
prime article and would set we'll on the
Democratic stomach. the Democrats of the
second district have spewed it out of their
mouths as an unclean bird. The chief eu-
logist of Judge Gilbert~before the conven-
tion proved to be ex-Gov. Garcelon, and he
seems to have pleaded the cause of the Judge
with his usual eloquence and about his
usual discretion. Apprehending that the
convention was .disinclined to partake of
crow, he undertook to prove that Judge
Gilbert was not crow at all, but had made
himself to look like it to please the Green
hackers. The Ex-Governor intimated pretty
plainly, and apparently with the approval of
Judge Gilbert himself, that the latter had
been fooling the Greenbackers aud if elected
was likely to 60 back on them and act with
the Democrats. This delicate tribute to
Judge Gilbert's honor might have had the
effect designed if there had been any pros
pect of the Judges election, but for the
purpose of fgure-head merely even Demo-
Gratis prefer something little more comely.
So the only effect of the Governors speech
was to render Judge Gilbert's choice more
hopeless than ever, and after a scene of
great disorder the Ex-Governor was sat down
upon with force that must have pretty
badly shattered his historic backbone. Mr..
Reed whom the convention nominated is a
Bath gentleman of good standing and ex-
cellent reputation. OF course he has not
the slightest chance of election, as was
frankly confessed by Mr.. Belcher, but he
will make respectable figure-head and the
Democrats can vote for him without sacri-
ficing their self respect.

TUE New York Post says there is one as
pect of these Fenian plots which has not yet
received much attention in the press, but
which is nevertheless of considerable impor-
tance. Ii the statements by Grove and
Rossa are true, and the plan of blowing up
British vessel or a government building is
carried into effect, and the English govern
ment makes claim upon our government
for damages on The ground that we have not
taken effective means to prevent the use of
our territory as basis of carrying on this
kind of war, we should find ourselves in
somewhat delicate position, as we pointed
out the other day. We have always con-
tended that the lack of municipal enactment
to punish breach of international duty is
no excuse; that nation must not only en-
force such laws as it has but enact such as
may be necessary, and that if it omits this
precaution it does so at its peril. The Ala
bama controversy turned in great measure
on this point.

BRADLAUGH succeeded in making a row
in the House of Commons Wednesday and
the House of Commons succeeded in putting
him out. There is not a great deal of merit
in either siie of the controversy. Brad
laugh first refused to take the oath on the
ground that he was an atheist, but was will
ing to affirm. Had he stuck to this position
he would have gained considerable sympa-
thy if nothing more. But finding that the
House would not permit him to affirm he
announced himself ready to do what short
time before conscientious scruples had for
bidden him to do take the oath. The
House however suddenly became solicitous
for Mr.. Bradlaugh's conscience, and refused
to allow him to violate it in the way he pro-
posed to. So Mr.. Bradlaugh found himself
outside the House with no way of getting in
save by force. He has tried this and failed.
He has succeeded in making disturbance,
however, and in further advertising
himself, achievements which will 60 far to
console him for the loss of his seat.
