THE MORAL SIDE.

1t may truly be said that General Gar.
eld is generally considered from political
tand-point This is not to be wondered at,
because the country has known him best as
the leader of the House of Representatives
lon the Republican side for the past eighteen
years, and the high office into which he has
lately been inaugurated, is seldom regarded
in any sense except that which relates to
the conduct of public affairs and in seeing
that the laws be faithfully executed.
The constitution Of the United States which
is purely political instrument, defines the
duties Of the Chief Magistrate and requires
of him no other function or service than
that which is regarded as simply political
1t is the class Of men who are recognized
as politicians, that manipulate conventions,
make and unmake candidates, construct and
destroy political platforms, and boldly and
proudly dictate the policies Of parties and
administrations. For twenty years Mr.. Gar
field has been an active worker in this line
during the best years of his life, and it is his
public career that has made the people of
the United States best acquainted with him.
We are not political admirer or adherent
of Gen. Garfield, as the columns Of our paper
3pending the late presidential contest fully
show, but we must admit that there is a
moral characteristic in the personal history
of Gen. Garfield that is worth much to the
poor and ambitious young men of the coun-
srxr 10 tl,A ha haa ot Thorn in
overcoming the obstacles Of poverty, and
by the force of will and industry, backed by
good natural abilities, making his way to
the front in usefulness and eminence. His
long public career, that has now been rem
dered more conspicuous by high official
result, is sufficient to encourage every am
bilious young man, no matter how unprom-
Using and hard his situation in life, to better
his condition and leave some "foot prints on
the sand of time," that will give heart and
hope to those who follow after him. 1t is
not possible for every poor boy to become
President of the United States, but they
should ever bear in mind that all honorable
positions in the gift of the people or other
wise are most generally reached by energy,
industry and strict attention to business. II
is said that Andrew jackson left the old
North State penniless and friendless boy
and bid adieu to the civilized world and be.
come its most honored and distinguished
citizen. The brilliant crescent Of the mill
boy Of the slashes grandly rounded out until
il eliminated in the splendid and immortal
Harry of the West. In this country the
road to preferment is ever open to the hum
blest. There is no other nation that can
