A PROMISE KEPT.

In spite of the obstructive deadlock |
and the depressing influence of the at
tempted ASSASSINATION of the President,
two events that have covered the en-
tire five months of the present Admin
1stration, the chief promise upon which
it came into power is already kept.
That promise was, that the business of
the country should be prospered by the
success of the Republican ticket. Ordi-
narily political promises are not of
much value, and those made in the
brunt of a campaign are of the least
value. They are made before election
to be broken afterwards. The promise
made by the Republican party last fall
was made in earnest. Those who made
1t believed it. 1t was promise based
on principle-the principle of protec-
ton to American industry. That was
the final issue on which the campaign
was fought and won.
Looking at the manufacturing inter-
ests of New England, with which we
are more Immediately concerned, the
prosperity evidenced in every quarter is
astonishing. Enlargements are taking
place, new shops and mills are going
up, and new and improved machinery
is going in as rapidly as it can be OBJ
tanned. The exceptions to this general
outlook are very rare. In the three
manufacturing cities of Lowell, Man
chester and Nashua, as near as we can
learn, there will be at least three mil
lion dollars expended in additions to
the manufacturing capacity of those
cities. The news from Fall River,
Lawrence and Dover is to the same pur-
port, while the intelligence from villa
ges of two or three industries either
speaks of improvements or of more or
ders than can be filed by running day
and night Reports from the South
and West uniformly represent manufact
uring as expanding with unprecedented
strides. Indeed the South has entered
on new and very hopeful era in this
respect, and from this cause alone viii
soon be one with the civilization of thu
rest of the country.
1t needs no argument to show tina
the prosperity of manufacturing will b
: shared by the commercial and agricul
tural interests. One of the great inter
ests of the country cannot prosper with
out the others feeling the stimulus
There can be no doubt that the volum
of business done this fall will be tn
largest in the history of the country

out of the way, one after another, on
side tracks, in time to allow the special
to roar past them without Stacking speed,
but the two passenger trains delayed the
doctor fifteen minutes. Nevertheless he
arrived at Philadelphia at forty-fve
minutes past four p. m. The actual
running time between Jersey City and
Philadelphia was one hour and thirty
six minutes. At Philadelphia a stop Of
only three minutes was made to change
engines. During that three minutes,

The system upon which the star-route
frauds proceeded has been clearly traced.
Wherever it is exposed it is found to be
the same. The straw-bidder comes first
with bid so low that it drives off COM
petition. His bonds are worthless, of
course, though always accepted. We
have seen how some of there bonds are
made by the testimony about Dorsey.
After brief trial the straw-bidder
throws up his contract or fails in its
performance. Then it is let to the ring
at a greatly increased rate. Frequently
the service is expedited" at another
disproportionate advance. Citizens,
Congressman and post-ofice officials are
involved in the swlndle. 1t is doubtful
if the rascals can be punished, though
there is no doubt about the extent and
spirit of the frauds. The big rascals
involved are not quite so saucy as they
were, but they will not consent to beal
the penalty of their crimes without max
ing some damaging exposures, if that b.
in their power.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,

ICES the statement that the president is
having an excellent day. The 1890
examination has just been made, with
the following result: Pulse SO, temper

able changes should be discredited
unless they have official authorization.
The presidents condition at this hour is
better'than at any time since his injury.
In conversation on the PRESIDENT
condition about IL o'clock this morning,
DIR. Hamilton discussed the situation
quite freely. and expressed the opinion
that President Garfield was progressing
toward recovery in very satisfactory
manner. In reply to the direct question

Nor AN EXPENSIVE GOVERNMENT
The appropriations for the support of
the national government during the ifs
cal year which began on the first of this
month, amount in the aggregate to Sl77-
100000 in round numbers. This sum
is for ordinary expenses" and is ex-
elusive of the interest on the public
debt. For the present fiscal year over
100000 are appropriated for Con-
gressional purposes, of which sum ST.
O43,OO0 are for the pay and mileage of
members of Congress. The sum of $l5-
100000 goes to the maintenance of the
executive branch of the government.
For the expense of maintaining our for
eign relations the amount of ST. ,224,0 900
is set apart, of which $341,O 900 are for
diplomatic salaries and 100000 for
contingent expenses of consuls. The
sum of S27, 100000 is for the mainte.
nance of our military establish ment
and for the navy and its expenses $l4,'
100000 are set apart. The largest ap
preparation for any one purpose is fol
pensions, that being S5O,O0O,O0O. Fol

pended. Deduct the amount for pen
sions, which does not belong to expenses

doubt whatever of his ultimate recov-
cry" DR.. Hamilton also expressed the
opinion that there was no malaria in the
patients system. In response to inter-
rogatories relative to removing the pa
tient from the Executive Mansion the
doctor said nothing could yet be deter
mined upon, as the president was in no
condition to be moved. He thought,
however when the proper time arrived
that trip down the Potomac would be
beneficial and hasten his recovery.

No little excitement has been occa-
stoned in England by the discovery at
Liverpool of consignment of Internal
machines. 1t seems that Sir William
Harcourt, the Home Secretary, was in
formed from some source unknown, about
three weeks since, that such machines
would be shipped from America, the
names of vessels also being given. In
what purported to be barrel of cement
were carefully packed boxes of zinc.
When opened these boxes were found to
contain effectively designed and fully
charged engines of destruction. These
consisted of clockwork system running
about six hours, at the end of which
time it would cause lever to strike
upon tube bearing cap and commun-
icating with the lower part of the case,
which was filed with dynamite. P. W.

1t is stated that DR.. Bliss believes the
president will be able to sit up inside of
three weeks at the farthest-possibly
within fortnight-and to be competent
to sign urgent papers within 10 days
without detriment. "He could do so
now" said the doctor, "but we hardly
feel justified in permitting it." DR..
Hamilton is also reported saying that it
looks as if the president in week or
two will be able to give some attention
to executive duties.

A FLYING TRAIN.

The marvellous perfection of railway
facilities and management in this coun-
try is illustrated by the CELEBRITY and
safety with which Drs. Hamilton and
Agnew, the consulting physicians, were
whirled on to Washington, Saturday,
July 23d, when summoned by telegraph
to advise with regard to the sudden and
alarming change in the presidents con-
dition. DR.. Hamilton received the dis
patch in New York at half-past one in
the afternoon. It took him only ten
minutes to prepare for the journey: "He
fastened in carriage to the Desbrosses-
street ferry, where he learned that the
first train for Washington was over the
Pennsylvania railroad at three o'clock.
1t would arrive at Washington at TWEEN,
ty minutes past ten o'clock p. m. Some
time was spent in inquiries as to the de-
parture of trains on other roads. The1

the physician of the President, had a

From the above brief statement of
facts we can but draw these conclu-
sions l. That DR.. Bliss was not the
Presidents family physician, and by as
Stunning formal charge of DR.. Towns
hend's patient treated that gentleman
with professional discourtesy and violat-
ed the spirit of that portion of section
which reads: "When a number Of
physicians are simultaneously sent for
courtesy should assign the patient tt
the first who arrives" 2. Not being
the family physician, but simply an &C
cidental attendant, position belonging
to DR.. Townshend, DR.. Bliss, by refus
ing to permit DR.. Baxter, the family
physician, to see the President, wa
guilty of great professional discourtes..
and grossly violated the spirit of sec
ton 5, which reads: when the fami
ly attendant is not at hand. he ought

desired, to resign the care of the patien
