PILGRIMAGEs TO MENToR.

1t must strike every citizen who thinks
on the subject that the rush Of politicians
from all parts Of the country to Mentor
is certainly ~undigniied and d~isrespectful
to Mr.. Garfield. These pilgrimages to
the Ohio shrine are prompted by a desire
to secure Office or gain influence Of some
sort with the next Administration, or
with a curiosity that deserves censure.
When Mr.. Garfield resigned his seat in
Congress and retired to his Ohio home
he virtually declared that he wanted to
be let alone. He gave public notice to
the whole army of ofice-seekers and AK
grinders that he would not see them, and
that in order to get rid Of them he had
fled to his Ohio farm. The caravans of
visitors to Mentor show that his wishes
are not respected, that his warnings are
not needed, and that nothing short of a
detachment of soldiers with peremptory
orders to shoot the first man who dares
cross a given line on the spot would be
sufficient to keep the crowd of Republi-
can ofiice-seekers at bay. But the fact
that Mr.. Garfield allows himself to be
constantly approached and overrun by
these vermin, that he invites politicians
by his polite and cordial receptions, that
he is always at home to delegations ask.
ing ~favors, shows that he is deficient in
moral stamina. He evidently does not
know how to say "No." He is obviously
weak, indecisive and hopelessly at the
mercy of dominant influences. 1t GER.

ton that its head has not a mind and
will of his W of sufficient strength to
on being left alone after having de.
that he would do so, and confirms
The opinion of Judge Poland, of Vermont.
who said last Autumn that Mr.. Garfield
had talent and worthy ambitions, but
acked frmness. He is weak when he
'ught to be strong. As it is, he might
ust as well keep open house in Washing
On as at Mentor, and thus save the time
nd travelling expenses of the Republican
'oliticians who are iocking to see him
y the hundred.

A silly Argument

The Carson Times, the reputed organ o.
the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, is max.
ing a bitter and persistent fight against
the Miners Union Of Storey County. II
says
By all means continue the Miners Un.
ion-certainly. 1t will make a fine secret
organization. The fact that, il it contin.
ues, there will soon be no mines to work
need no be advanced as an argument
against it.
This is the ~silliest balderdash that ever
emanated from the point of a quill. The
Times knows that every dollar paid the
miners is taken from the pockets of enl.
lible stockholders, and one cause for the
depression in Eureka District is the con-
tinued drain for assessments on the Com.
stock. II wages were $40 per day it would
cost the mine managers no more itwould
only reduce their profits. But it is q rec
ognized fact that whenever there is a cry
for retrenchment the first blow is at the
wages OF workingmen.

The Globe, this afternoon, says the door
OF Mr.. Gladstone's residence In Downing
street has been guarded by policemen
night and day recently in view Of possible
Fenian attack. Mr.. Gladstone was followed
at distance by policemen when he went to
the House Of Commons to-day.
Although the Pull Mall Gazstts's leading
article this afternoon is headed "The
Speakers Coup d'Etat," that journal
justiies the course pursued by
the Speaker and says the step is an exceed
ingly strange one. but nothing less than
strange step could have met the emergency.
1t Is revolutionary, but ParnelPs party is
revolutionary, and they must take the con-
sequences OF waging in Parliament that war
which they are not strong enough to wage
In the field. AS they have broken the ira
ditions OF the Parliamentary game, they
have no right to complain II the same ira
ditions are broken by their adversaries.
OF Mr. Gladstone's proposal, the Pal Nall
Gazette says: "The power entrusted TO the
Speaker Is unlimited. The proposal is of
the gravest character, and will demand
most careful and anxious consideration.
The public Is hardly prepared for the
method OF turning the difficulty In which
the responsibility is thrown entirely upon a
single man.
The st. james Gazette, In leading article
headed Anarchy Complete" adversely
criticises the course pursued By the Speaker
and declares that Mr. Gladstone's proposal
contains none Of those careful and liberal
provisions for the protection of the just
rights OF miuorities which we were told it
would contain.
