COMMENTS OF THE PRESS
ON THE LIFE AND PURjLIc SERVICES OF
THE LATE PRESIDENT.
The n. y. Tribune saws: The reape

The N. Y. Tribune says: The reaper
Death gathers the bravest and the
best. After a struggle which has
kindled the admiration of. the
world for his heroic manhood, Presi-
dent Garfield has gone. From the
still heights where crime and pain
come not he looks down upon a
mourning nation which he hoped to
help by wise discharge of his duty.
Worthier men than Abraham Lincoln
and James A. Garfield this country
has never seen in high station, and
each was taken early in his term of
power and in the height of his man
hood. Toll and poverty, a hard life
and iron fortune had not put out the
fire of genius. Foul disease had
spared them, and the deadly bullets
of many battles had missed the life
of Genl Garfield, butsthe shot of an
assassin took each from a sorrowing
nation. The presidents death will
cause a less shock, but far more sor
row than if he had been shot dead
on the I'd of July. There he's been
time to learn that the government
cannot be shaken by the death of any
man, however high or great or good,
but there has been time too, to learn
how great and good man was lifted
to the presidency by the votes of
last November The great nation
holds hin in its heart of hearts and
there he will live forever. He is
president no more. Only four months
he held the helm but the work done
i'm that short time will bless the land
for ages. No other administration
has ever done more for the good of
the country than this which had just
begun. The cold and passionless
verdict of history, though it may find
fault or flaw, will more than satisfy
those who loved James A. Garfield
most, and will place his name toward
the highest in the list of humane ru-
lers.

national interests, this terrible catas-
trophe cannot but appeal to the COM
mon feelings of humanity.
The London Times says: The death
of President Garfield is regarded as
hardly less than national calamity
in all ranks from queen to peasant.
There is most heartfelt sympathy
for the bereaved widow and injured
nation. The career of President
Garfield is of kind which appeals to
the best feelings and most cherished
traditions of our people. The early
poverty, manfnl independ cree, hard
won attainments and his integrity of
character had caused his career to be
watched as that of man of excep-
tionaI powers and brilliant promise,
and he was regarded as standing out
very distinctly from among the ma
jority Of politicians. Even among
Russian nihiIists Guitean's crime will
excite nothing but loathing and ex-
ecration. There is perhaps less rea-
son for disastrous political consequent
ces from the sudden transfer of power
to vice president in the present in
stance than on any former occasion.
II is clear that Vice-Presidens Arthur,
who now assmes supreme authority
will be restrained by obligations
which public opinion will not allow
him, if he desired it, to ignore. Gen.
Garfeld's high aud admirable quail
ties are lost to his country and us.
II may be that we will not soon be
again gratifed by the sight af a typ
ical American at the White House.
This short administration, however,
will not be barren ofinportant polit-
ical consequence, fit has put an end
to the invasion of executive power
uy lie seisdtS, anu IL IL eilOuiu lSd !,
as seems probable, to a serious con-
sideration:of the existing constitution
al system, so far as the relations of
the vice presidency to the presidency
are concerned.
The Berlin National Zeitung says:
The whole civilized world have
hoped most sincerely for the recovery
of President Garfield. The innocent
victim has been claimed by Moloch.
Corruption may warn the American
people the necessity of moral regen-
Grafton.
The Post says: President .Garfeld
IS martyr to his endeavors to resist
corruption. The crime against him
has awakened the concionsness that it
is the duty of the community to strug-
gle against unbridled seli-seeking Of
idividuals.
Galignini's Messenger Paris, which
prints the announcement of the death,
is surrounded by mourning border,
and has an elegant tribute to Gen.
Garfeld's virtues, evidently from the
pen of an American.
The Temps, the Paris represen
tative of wide class of moderate
republicans, says: His name has been
rendered imperishable by fate during
the few months he passed in power.
He by virtue and integrity surpassed
all hopes. He was elected to the
presidency as a party man, but as
soon as stricken down he became re-
spected as the representative of the
entire nation. This does honor both
to himself and country. We hope
President Arthur will reduce party
spirit to silence; that he will be pres
idert ofthe republic, not of section
of the republican party.

The N. Y. Herald says: In his
death the warm hopes and sympathi-
zing aspirations of the whole people
are painfully disappointed, and the
expectation of his recovery SO warmly
cherished for 80 long, adds now to
THE pangs of the public regret. All
Americans, of whatever religious faith
:and whatever politics, democrats who
opposed and republicans who sup
ported his election, are shocked alike
by the bloody deed which laid him
low. They have watched during
these tedious weeks around the bed
side of the patient and uncomplaining
sufferer, with admiration for his
cheerful, manly patience, and with
prayers that he might be restored to
vigor and his official status, and in
deed the whole civilized world has
watched and prayed with them. But
it was not to be, and yet the long
period of the presidents illness has
not been lost. The people have learn
ed precious lesson in these days Of
sympathy and doubling. Also, above
all, it has prepared all for hearty ac-
quiesccnce in the fact which removes
the president and brings in his sue.
cessor. Thus the change, which two
months ago would have been receiv-
ed by manyswith considerable de-
gree of unfriendly and even hostile
feelings, will now be consumated with
the entire assent of all parties. But
we do rebel at the advent of a new
administration Every American will
feel himself bereaved by Garfield's
death fairly elected 10 be president.
He was attacked in the discharge of
that representative Office. His re.
mains will be borne to their last rest
attended by the unanimous and
heartfelt sorrow of Fifty millions of
freeinen.
The N. 7. Tribune says, The death
of President garfield, though gener-
ally expected notwithstanding the
prayerful hopes of the civilized world
during more than II weeks, will fall
like a shock upon all. Long weeks
of suffering have served, if such a
thing were needed, TO illustrate the
christian resignation, clear, intellectu
al superiority, andsthe patient forti-
tude of this great man. The fore
most statesman of his country, Gen.
Garfield died as Washington died,
mourned by nation of freedmen,
loved by his countrymen for all the
qualities.that constitute great man
even among the great men OF the
earth. He died as Lincoln died, the
grief of his countrymen intensified by
aiie horrible circumstances of his muir
der. He died as the pure and upright
christian would prefer to die, with an
nmblemished record, wholly unmind-
fnl of personal pain and of an abrupt
termination of the highest political
