THE last great tribute to the mem
DRY of the late James A. Garfield
was paid on Monday last 10y the
delivery of Hon. James G. Blaine's
memorial address in the House of
Representatives, which was crowded
Among those present were the Pres
ident and the civil and military Off
GERS of the government. The adj
dress was more in the sense of an
analysis of the character of Garfield
than a eulogy upon him, and was
worthy of the subject and the occa-
sion. Those who look to the Grafton
for any defense of the late admins
tration will not find it, except in the
bare reference to President Garfield 8
contest with the New York Sena-
tors over the Custom House appoint
ment. In reference to this Mr..
Blaine stopped merely to say, that
in justice to the dead, and for the
truth of history, no false pride sus-
tanned the President in this contest;
that had he felt his course was
wrong, he would not have hesitated
a moment to retrace his steps, and
that he went forward only because
he was bound to do so in order to
defend his constitutional preroga-
tive Mr.. Blaine wished to portray
his friend at bis best, and to have
him remembered for deeds and traits
which are arplauded, and he prop
erly avoided topics which could re-
call only bitter memories.

GlAdstone's Review of the Situation.
 LONDON, Nov. 9.--At the Lord Mayors banquet this evening MT. Gladstone contrast ed the satisfactory state of affairs now exist ing in the southeast of Europe with the sit uation as it existed two years ago. In Ireland he said the government relied more on the measures of justice it has introduced than upon the stringent powers which Parliament had placed in its hands Since November last there had been great material and moral improvement. Crime had decreased and the people were recognizing the sincere desire to do them justice. Referring to Egyptian af fairs MT. Gladst me said that he would not hold out the hope that war would in the fu- ture be unnecessary, as England had inter- ests at stake which constantly brought her into co llision with other interests.
