Garfield and Owl Service.

81 far. the record of General Garfield
ON this subject IL clear and bright. No
member of Congress had studied the
matter 50 thoroughly, or had expressed
himself about 1t 30 ceurageousiy: His
later well-remembered utterances In his
inaugural address, were, however, re-
xarled a. hexitating and uncertain.
Doubtless the practical difficulties in
the way of carrying this reform through
Congress looked large to him; he knew
the temper of the legislators in both
houses, and he had not, we must re-
member, that aroused public sentiment
behind him which has been evoked Ivy
his death. II his movements were
somewhat cautious, we need not wOnd-
or.
His proposition to fix tho tenure Of
the minor offices, was, it nl,lst I've owned,
not much bet; er then lnake.sLift. ' =
+ and although his later outsivings
may have been somewhat dubious, it Is
reasonable to supl Ose that when he had
found his feet, and hal begun to WELD a
little more deliberately the great powers
intrusted to him. he would have used
his resources Of leadership in making
effective tie principles to which he mad
50 fully committed himself. Those who
had good opportunities to know, assert
that this measure was regarded ny MIN
as tentative. This is confirmed by the
nature of the situation. Garfield was in
no sense Of the term =. representative
politician. As he himself said, lie was
interested in conflicts ri minds, ami not
i'm conflicts of men. This ihdislnsit."n
to the work of the trading POLITICIAN,
and the fact already mentioned that he
l,a.! no political debts TO pay, kept him,

ter his election to the presidency, he had
to contend. There is reason to think
