TRIBUTE TO GARFIELD.

The following are portions of James G.
Blaine's splendid eulogy of the martyred
President delivered in the House of Rep
presentatives, Monday, February 9th,
1882:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: For the second time
in this generation the great departments
of the Government of the United States
are assembled in the Hall of Representa-
tives to do honor to the memory of a
murdered President. LincolG fell at the
close Of mighty struggle in which the
passions of men had been deeply stirred
The tragical termination of his great life
added but another to the heightened sue
cession of horrors which had marked SO
many lintels with the blood of the first
born. Garfield was slain in day of
peace, when brother had been reconciled
to brother, and when anger and hate had
been banished from the land "Who-
ever shall hereafter draw the portrait of
murder, if he will show it as it has been
exhibited, where such example was least
to have been looked for, let him not give
the grim visage of Moloch. the brow
knitted by revenge, the face black with
settled hate Let him draw rather de-
corous, smooth-facsd, bloodless demon,
not SO much an example of human ma
ture In its depravity and in its paroxysms
of crime as an internal being, a fend in
the ordinary display and development of
its character"
From the landing of the pilgrims at
Plymouth till the uprising against Charles
l., about 10000 emigrants came from Old
England to New England. AS they
came in pursuit of intellectual freedom
and ecclesiastical Independence rather
than for worldly honor and profit, the
emigration naturally ceased when the
contest for religious liberty began in
earnest at home. The man who struck
his mosl effective blow for freedom of
conscience by sailing for the colonies in
1920 would have been accounted deser-
ter to leave after 1910. The opportunity
had then come on the soil of England for
that great contes- which established the
authority of Parliament, give religious
freedom to the people, sent Charles to
the block, and committed to the hands
of Oliver Cromwell the supreme execu-
Tive duLnOIlLy Ol Englauu. 1uo Eng
lish emigration was never renewed, and
from these 10000 men, with a small en-
igration from Scotland and from France
are descended the vast numbers who have
New England blood in their veins. In
1856 the revocatian of the Edict of Nan
tes by Louis XIV, scattered to other
countries 100000 Protestants, Who we're
among The most intelligent and enter
prising Of French subjects. Merchants
Of capital, skilled manufacturers and
handicrafts-men superior at the time to
all others in Europe. A considerable
number Of these Huguenot French came
to America, A few landed in New Eng
land andlbecame honorably prominent in
its history.
Their names have in large part become
anglicised or have disappeared, but their
blood is traceable in many of the most re
putable families and their fame is per-
petuated in honorable memories and uss-
ful institutions. From these two sources,
the.English Puritan and the French HUI
guenot, came the late President, his faith
er, Abram Garfield, being descended from

Garields nomination to the Presidency,
while not predicted or anticipated, was
not surprise to the country. His prom
inence in Congress, his solid qualities,
his wide reputation, strengthened by his
then recent election as Senator from Ohio,
kept him in the public eye as man oc-
cupying the very highest range among
those entitled to be called statesmen.
Under it all he was calm ard strong, and
confident; never lost his selfpossession,
did no unwise act, spoke no hasty, or i'll
considered word. Indeed, nothing of his
whole life is more remarkable or more
creditable than his bearing through those
full five months of vituperation-a pro-
longed agony of trial to sensitive man,
a constant and cruel draft upon the pow
ers of moral endurance.
