AS an abstract question no one can
truthfully deny that Garfield's treat
ment of Conkling has been shameful.
Conkling and Grant made Garfield
election possible" and without their
services his defeat was inevitable. To
select Conkling's most inveterate enemy
for the most important office IN New
York, was a display of ingratitude, ma
jestic in its baseness. This is the moral
view. Politically, the President had
a right to do as he did,
and having taken the position
there was no back down short of practi-
cally abdicating the White House in favor
Of a Senator. While the GLOBE comedies
the ingratitude, it rejolces at the action
of the President, as it is apparently the
beginning of the permanent disruption of
the Republican party-an organization
that having outlived its usefulness, and
being devoted merely to the "spoils," can
be spared from domination in politics.

A CLOSE CALL.
4 Hearu Val Fa1ls Upon Workman,

u heuSB Vutt FuttS CPVSe u nVEhHuHs
At 10 O'Clock yesterday forenoon, while the
workmen were engaged at the excavation for
the new Gluck block on the corner of Mic
ollet avenue and Sixth street, serious acct
dent occurred. In moving frame building
from the lot preparatory to the erection of
the new brick block, the foundation, or cellar
walls of the old building were permitted to
remain intact. The excavation had been made
to these walls, which were some eight feet
high. A team was being loaded with dirt at
the base of one of these walls, when suddenly
and and without Warning the wall fell over, bury
ing Geo. Hammeburg, one of the workmen,
under the heavy mass OF stone and mortar, and
upon the wagon, completely demolishing it.
With all possible expedition the man HAM
meburg was extricated from his perilous posi-
ton by those present, who supposed the victim
crushed to death. Hammeburg was at once
taken to surgeon, who found the sufferer
had been dangerously injured. His head was
terribly bruised and his right elbow fractured.
1t is thought the man may recover. ]. w.
Reberg, another workman, was more or less
wounded by the accident.

RESPONSIBLE rUnLTc SERVANTS.

Probably without intending it, Mr..
Roscoe Conkling has by his recent action
in resigning his seat in the Senate, sug-
geSted and inaugurated reform in our
system of government that it would be
well to carry out in all its probable or
possible ramifcations. 1t is the idea of
the responsibility of public officers to the
people for whatever action they may
take-a thing heretofore unknown in
American polity, but nevertheless an
idea which is the true basis of republican
government
The idea of a responsible government
has heretofore been suggested by the
GLOBE as being the only true theory of
republicanism. Great Britain is, to a
certain extent, in advance of the United
States in this respect. When defeated
in parliament,the ministry is compelled
to resign, and, by dissolving parliament it
compels direct appeal to the people on
both sides. Thus it Is that the popular
vote decides many mooted questions over
which statesmen have wrangled for
years, and the British government is

more thoroughly republican than the
government of the United States.
The resignation of Mr.. Conkling, and
his appeal to the legislature of his State
for Endorsement, is step in the right di-
rection. 1t is an acknowledgment that
the people are the source of all power,
and that their officers eve obedience
to them. Between the date of mans
election to office, and the expira-
ton of his term, circumstances are
liable to occur that will separate him
from his constituents. His convictions OF
duty may be directly opposed to the
wishes of those who elected HIM. If he
is an honest man he will follow his own
convictions 1t would be much more
agreeable to such representative if he
was permitted or required, after violating
an implied pledge to his constituents, to
appeal to them for approval or condemna-
ton.
The American system of government is
not perfect. 1t will not be so until the
fixed tenure of office now in vogue is
abolished, and public servants exercise
their functions only as long as their course
is approved by those to whom they owe
their authority. Each officer should be
responsible for his acts to the appointlve
or elective power. and whenever doubt
exists as to the propriety of his conduct
the settlement of the doubt should be re-
ferred back to thAsource from which the
authority prings-the people. The theory
of Mr.. Conkling's resignation is proper.
1t is only to be regretted that he had not
better case upon which to rest, and that
the tribunal to which he has appealed is
not the people of the. State of New York,
and that on the questions at issue the peo-
pie will not have the opportunity of ex-
pressing themselves.

THERE Is as vet no temporary Preside

THERE is as yet no temporary President
of the Senate, who would, in certain
remote contingencies succeed to the
Presidency of the United States. The
desertion of Conkling and Platt places
Arthur in somewhat unpleasant pre-

the election of a president pro tempore
before the adjournment of the Senate,
and no one but Democrat can aspire to
that distinction now.
