wards promoting the harmony that is
now raging In the Republican par y, let
us state, on the authority of our esteem
ed Republican contemporary, the Spring
field Republican, that President Gar
field recently said Of the ex-senator
from New York, "He wants to look me
in the eye, does he? Let him come into
this room, and will look him In the
eye when he comes in, and give him my
boot when he goes out" Also, that
once in the flight of ages past the Secre-
tary Of State, alluding to the same dis
tinguished gentleman, spoke contenptu-
ously of "his lordly pomposity, his gram
eloquent swell, his majestic overtower-
ing,~ his turkey-gobbler struttiDg," and
declared that he compared with Winter
Davis even as a "satyr with Hyperion,
Thelsites with Hercules, mud with
marble, dunghill with diamond, a
singed cat with Bengal tiger and
whining puppy with a roaring lion."

MANoHEsTKR,. N. H., May 28.-The
funeral OF the lAte Commodore Mutt
occurred this morning at the old home

miles from this city. Tbs attendance
was light comprising only relatives aud

floral decrations we're wreath from
Mrs. Frank Budwortb Of New York; a
pillow from MIS-. Michael Leayitt of
New York and floral heart from the
Martha W ashington Bowling Club Of
New York. -Four neighbors acted as
pallbearers. The widow was deeply
affected with grief.
The late Commodore has commanded
IS much as $50 week salary, and N ade
a good deal Of money, but his unsuceess-
ful business ventures are beiived to have
cost him q great deal. About tive and {

THE SENATE SHOULD BE DEN

THE SENATE SHOULD BE DEMO
CRATIc.-It would be matter for
general regret if the bitter enmity
with which the quarrel between the
stalwarts and Mr.. Garfield has de-
veloped should be. the means of IN.
juring the business interests of the
country, now that prosperity seems
again to be universal within the Dor.
ders Of the Republic. The northern
section has already enjoyed several
years Of good business and our pros.
perity, it seems, will be general if the
government is not by some means
made to commit q fatal blunder. Un-
der The circumstances, it would be far
better and show more patriotism in
the friends of the administration In
the state of New York to unite with
the Democrats and send sound, ma
tional men to the Senate, either one
Democrat and one Republican, or two
Democrats, than to return Messrs.
Conkling and Platt. If the latter are
returned they will go back to take
revenge on the administration. If
Democrats should be sent to the Sem
ate, that body under the influence of
conservative Democrats would prove
q corrective check and balance which
would be sure to prevent the admin
istration from being drawn into blum
ders through the indiscretion of po-
litical gamesters like Conkling, Grant
and others who care more for self
aggrandizement than they do for the
credit of the President or any Of his
Cabinet. They would gladly see the
country suffer II through that Garfield,
Blaine and McVeagh we're disgraced.
The House Of Representatives will
be Republican, and will no doubt be
controlled by the friends of the ad-
ministration. Thus the Executive
Department would have only to make
its appropriations come within the
bounds of fairness and reason to es-
cape future censure. And this would
be more likely to be the case, if the
appropriations had to pass through a
Democratic Senate and secure its con-
currence than if all three of the De.
partments Of the government were in
the hands Of one party. 1t is to the
political interest of each Cabinet
officer as well as the President him
self. that the Senate should not be
controlled by partisan vote as 1t was
during the extra session. 1t would be
much better for the Cabinet for the
Senate to be Democratic.

"UNToLD ExTRAvAeANcE AND
sIE."-In commenting editorially the
New York Herald says :-"There can
be no doubt that the management of
the Gas Trust in Philadelphia has
been the source Of untold extragance
and SIN by the use of the public
moneys and the patronage surround
ing it. A gang of unscrupulous poll
ticians had arisen to power-a powe,
only equalled by that of Tweed in
Tammany Hall days. Now, if mer
like Tweed and McManes can amass
and enjoy wealth, and then. under a
pressure of public opinion, retire
without criticism or condemnation
there is fatal defect in our institu-
tions. We cannot be too exact in
dealing with men who are unfaithfu
to public trusts, and we shall feel hu
inflated if our friends in Philadelphia
in the face of the most decided an,
brilliant victory ever won in canvass
!. should allow the fruits of that victo r
to be taken away from them by thei
own timidity or the chicanery of thei
