who In tho past have been the avowed

Fallen /!

Roscoe Conkling has fallen Not
from Office; for he voluntarily relin-
pushed Office some time ago. But un.
Ill Yesterday he had before him at least
n possibility of reelection. Now he is
fallen from position, from rank, from
the leadership of his party. To-day he
is a mere private citizen, with no en-
couraging prospects for the future He
NAV stretch forth his hands in vain, and
for many years fail to clutch power
again. BY a miracle, a. it were, by an
insane act of an assassin, it is true that
Mr.. Conkling stood few days ago,
very near to the power behind the
throne which is said to be greater than
the throne itself; but lightning is as
likely to strike in any particular place
as such thing is to happen again. Mr..
Conkling has reached the full meridian
Of life, and his recent mistakes and
foibles cannot be overlooked in that
generous spirit which pardons much TO
the indiscrction Of youth. He stands
facing dark, if not rayless, future. No
rainbow Of promise spans his sky; nor,
in the order of nature, and in ordinary
course Of human affairs, can he reason
ably expect to behold any new morn on
his midday risen.
With those who rejoice over the fall
ofRoscoe Conkling for personal reasons,
or in any spirit of exultation, or petty
triumph, we have no feeling in common.
Far from it. We remember him as a
true patriot during the war. We recall
with pride the bright performance and
more brilliant promise of his earlier and
better DAYS. We held too much in COM
mon with him then, and battled by his
side too long, to contemplate his over
throw even now without some degree OF
painful emotion. But while, personally,
we might pause to drop a tear into his
political grave, for the sake Of the coun-
try we rejoice over his downfall.
l. Because in him falls the foremost
enemy of the freedom Of the press in
America.
ii. Because in him falls one of the
inventors and the chief promoter of tho
unconstitutional Electoral Commission
which defrauded the people Of the Unit
ed States out of their own choice fol
President for four years, inauguratinl
the unelected Hayes in place of tn,
elected Tilden.
III. Finally, and above all else, be
cause in Roscoe Conkling falls the lead
er Of the Third Term party, who woulc
overthrow the free Constitution of tn,
United States and erect an empire Of
its ruins.
Down, down forever, with all sucl
menl
The 6rmness and devotion evince'
toward Mr.. Conkling by his circle 0
partisan friends could only have beel
inspired by superior qualities in hin
Bravely for weeks did they hold on
against the glitter of gold and the seduc

fitted him for higher destiny. An

Every day of the last fortnight, every
day after the first week of suffering and
immediate danger from the pistol bull
let, the prospect of President Garfield
recovery has improved. According to
the reports of the doctors, his daily inn
provement has been as satisfactory in
all respects as could be expected, and
still continues to be so. He himself Is
now fully aware of the hopeful state of
things, and his spirits have risen accord
ingly. If the favorable symptoms con-
tinue, and the sound tone of his system
is kept up, it will take but few weeks
to give him a fair assurance of life, and
the autumn months may find him look
ing after affairs as usual.

Justice Nathan Clifford, ofthe United
State supreme court, whose death occur
red Friday, was born in New Hamp-
shire in 1903. He removed to Maine
in 1927, and soon became identified
with the politics of that state After
official service as member of the legis.
lature, speaker of the house and attor.
ney-general he was elected to congress
in 1888, and reelected in 1910. He
was encouragement in the cabinet OF
President Polk from October, 1916, to
June, 1913. He was one Of the peace
commissioners TO Mexico in 1S47, and
minister to that country after peace was
declared. He was appointed associate
justice of the supreme court by Presi-
dent Buchanan in 1858. Judge Clifford
was an old-fashioned Democrat, and his
judicial decisions were in the line of a
"strict construction" Of the constitution.
He decided against the federal election
laws, and legal tender laws, and so far
as his office permitted opposed all en-
croachmeuts upon the rights Of the
States. Justice Clifford was thoroughly
conscientious, and until physically and
mentally disabled a few months ago,
one of the ablest judges on the supreme
bench.
