LIFE AND WORK OF GARFIELD.

Embracing an Account of His Strug-
giles in Childhood; His Career as a Sol
der; His Success as a Statesman; His
Elevation to the Presidency; His Das-
tardly Assassination. By John Clark
kidpath, LID. Published by Jones
Brothers & Co., Cincinnati, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Kansas City.
The life, public services and tragic
e.aath OF Garfield furnish a record of
more interest than any chapter of cor
responding length in American history
The author of the work hereby an
nounced is one of the most eminent of
living historians. His histories are known
and priced wherever English is the pre-
vailing tongue. He approaches this
biography with a more eloquent pen
than any heretofore used by him. be-
cause the subject is an inspiration to elo-
quence, to truth, to reverence, to all
that is admirable in humanity.
It is indeed fortunate for the commun-
ity that an author so well endowed with
every qualification for the work has en-
gagged in it's preparation. His name is a
guarantee of faithful performance. His
Garfield is that which occupies the in.
most sanctuary of the American heart
and appeals to its tenderest sympathies
His narrative is the electric chain which
transmits the wondrous story of endur-
ance, triumph over obstacles, and final
achievement, that will live in the annals
of the world.
There are other works which pretend
to recount the same history. Most Of
them are revamped from cheap biogra
phies which were made to influence the
Presidential Campaign of 1880, and are
not of permanent value. Others are still
more valueless, having been hastily com
piled from articles in the newspapers ano
magazines. iDr. Ridpath's book j,
thoroughly authentic. Its facts are de
rived from undoubted authority and, as
rule, from original sources of informa
ton. 1t should, and doubtless will
supplant most of the trashy publications
which have made Garfield their subject
in PROCLAMATION of his fame and for the
merchandise ofhis memoryl

Congress should, as the Supreme Court of the
United States always does yield to the
given to State statute by State Court" There is
reason to believe that majority of the members of
the Committee on Elections at least will not adopt
this suggestion and that they will be able to show
by unbroken line Of precedents that the Supreme
Court of the United States has never agreed to be
bound by the adjudications of State tribunals
where general principles were involved They
ought to he able to point ont that in investigating
q contested election case and adjudicating 1t the
House of Representatives has other duties to perform
than those of merely finding out how State Courts
have decided questions under their own election
laws, and then merely accepting and registering
those decisions.
Another consideration the committee ought to,
and ana probably will present and urge is that where
been. long in existence and long line
of judicial decisions has fixed the practice
under them their decisions are entitled to the re-
spect OF the House, and a rule ought to be fol-
lowed but where, as in this case the law Is new
and untTed, where, too, it was vidently designed
to place at disadvantage voters who are unable to
read and write and to confuse them with nice tech
nicalities, and where the only judicial decisions
supporting the law in case cooked up" for the
occasion after the first lection under the law has
been held, it will not be safe for the House to
adopt the dictum of the State Court especially if
that court is the Supreme Court of Mississippi as
A careful examination of the facts and arguments
in the case leads TO the conclusion that the commit

be counted for Mr. Lynch and General Chalmers and
that Mr. Lynch be given the benefit of all the votes

the inspectors of election and properly certified TO

latter rejected If these recommendations shall be
made, the Committee, or n majority of it, viii re-
