To See His Son.

The Dubuque Herald of the 10Th thus
tells of a gentleman who is coming this
way An old man with head and back
bent, leaning upon Il staff. left the ferry
boat yesterday afternoon, and, facing
the sharp wind and sleet, made his way
to the o of Jones street, and asked
a Herald reporter to direct him on the
way 20 Sioux City. Surprising he desir-
ed to take the next train for that lively
town, the Illinois Central depot was
pointed out to him, and he was inform
ed that the next train left at 0:25 y. Ill.

The reporter concluded that the feeble
mass Of humanity which stood before
him afforded an item, and he asked the

story: II came from Oshkosh: nv

Tho Man He il.

Chicago, March 27.-The Times Wash
inrton special says: An interesting dis
patch founded on the presidents invita-
ton to ex-Secrotary Blaine to his state
dinner quotes Chauncey NJ. Depew, the
presidents former intimate friend, rs
saying that it shows Arthur's consnm
mate tact. Depew says that the presi-
dent is an adroit, far seeing and emf
nently tactfull man with plenty of re-
sources for emergencies. lie will make
none of those dangerous small mistakes,
and he knows better than almost any
New York politician how to fight Il man
politically and keep on good terms with
him personally. He has not allowed
Blaine, therefore, to become personally
estranged and will not allow it. So long
as Blaine fights like a a gentleman he and
Arthur will be close. They have always
been close personally and have had
mutual respect and admiration for each
other.
This coming from Mr.. Depcw has al
most the force Of III authoritative dec
laration of the purpose of Blaine and
Arthur. fhe New York politicians who
have been here have had their respect
for Arthur increased at the expense of
their intimacy with him. The crowd
which he used to collect about him in
his days of political leadership in New
York at first supposed they could go to
the white house, slap him on the shout
der, call him "Chet" and ask him to take
a drink as of yore, very soon found out
their mistake. No man, probably, in
the white house ever had a higher sense
ofthe dignity that attaches to the office
These friends found that while Arthur
did not snub them ne did snub their at
tcmpts to bring New York ward man
ners into the executive mansion. More
over, and This is the most important part
of it, they found that the president
would not remove Robertson off hand
and give the boys full swing at the
custom house, nor would he turn out
Postmaster Pearson and let the boys
feed on p~ostottice pap. A delegation
which was here this week went away
sad-eyed and disconsolate because they
found their mission as vain as it had
been extensive, but they now see what
they did not see ut first that the presi-
dent realizes that it requires one sort OF
manipulation to run New York politics,
and entirely a different sort Of gearing
to run the machine for manufacturing
presidential candidates. There il every
indication. as he has a comfortable
private fortune, il il his intention tC
spend his salary as he goes along, as he
is in a position where ne can conman,
the highest society with tact in dispens
ing hospitality and Il tendency fol
luxurious life. The indications are tina
when the period of mourning has ex
pred, magnificent festivities will be be
gun and kept up TO the end Of the al
mipistration.

Political Aaaes.ments.

The circular issued by the New York civil
service reform association, advising govern
ment employees to refrain from complying
with the request" of the Republican con-
gressional committee for contributions to de-
fray campaign expenses has ELECTED a chal-
lenge and protest from Hon. j. A. Hubbell,
chairman of the committee TO which, in turn,
Hon. George William Curtis, president of the
association, has made reply. Congress and
the press have also taken up the subject, and
altogether the matter of political assessments
is likely to be pretty thoroughly discussed be-
tween now and November. Mr.. Hubbell and
his friends are very anxious to have it under
stood that all contributions solicited by them
are purely voluntary, and that no government
employee who fails to forward his contribution
will thereby endanger his situation. Unfor-
tunately, however, the employees themselves
do not look upon the matter as one in which
they have a free choice These men-and
women, for the congressional committee has
stopped to ask money even of the women in
government employ-know very well that
their tenure of Office depends largely upon
the good will of the ruling politicians and
that when any changes are made in the SER
vice, those persons will be least likely to lose
their positions who have been most active
and liberal in supporting "the cause" As
we have heretofore taken occasion 10 say, we
believe it to be perfectly legitimate and prop
or that government employee, the same as
any other citizen, be invited and allowed to
contribute for the support of his party if he
is so disposed; but it cannot be denied that
Congressman Hubbells circular, asking every
government employe to contribute two per
cent of his or her salary for campaign ex-
penses, is to be interpreted, under present
political methods and usages, as a virtual as
sessment, the leyying or payment of which
by persons employed in the civil service of
the government is righttully forbidden by
law. 1t is to be hoped that the effort TO
bring the matter before the courts in a test
case will be successful. But however the
courts may decide the question, there can be
no doubt that public sentiment is strongly
ayerse TO the custom-timo-hono though It
be-of robbing the employees of the govern
mont of a portion of their earnings TO make
up fund for keeping the party in power.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1882-06-30

The political assessment question was un-
der discussion in tho Senate on Tuesday, COM
ing up under series of resolutions offered
by Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, directing the
Civil Service Committee to investigate the
Hubbell business. The Republicans did not
undertake to defend the system, though they
had the satisfaction of showing that It is q
time.honored Democratic institution, origi-
mating in the palmy days of the Democracy
under jackson, steadily pursued as long as
the Democratic party was in power, and sure
to be resumed again at the earliest opportun-
ity If that party should come back to the con-
troll of affairs. When the unblushing course
pursued by the Democracy in the good old
days "before the war" is recalled, the Repub-
lican circular becomes almost inoffensive, and
the attempt of Democratic Senators to make
political capital out Of the methods of the Re-
publican committee n was gloomy failure.
This fact offers no extenuaton for Republi-
can wrong doing, but it does illustrate anew
the fact that consistency is not and never was
one of the jewels in the Democratic crown.

The Egyptian EmbrogIIo.

Ifrom the New York Times
The sudden activity of the British war Of
fee and the seemingly well-founded assertion
of the London Times that 5000 English
troops can be sent to Egypt at a few days
notice in case of need show that England is
getting tired of waiting for the cooperation
which France seems in no haste to give. So
far as the conference has yet progressed, it
merely affords fresh illustration of the pithy
Eastern proverb, "Words are but air till
weighted with bullets" While the envoys
are talking, the Suez Canal may be choked
up, the Alexandria Cairo railway broken, the
lines of the international Overland telegraph
cut in half dozen places. Events seem to
point more and more surely to an actual in
vasion of Egypt, and under such circumstan-
ces II is difficult to avoid recalling the omi-
nous words with which the Gear Nicholas, on
the eve of the Crimean war; offered Egypt TO
England as her share of the spoils of Turkey
"If you win not take it at my hands, you
must one day take 1t at your own"

The Republican party in New York city is
controlled by less than tenth of its mem
bers. All delegates are elected, and all nomi-
nations are made, by the district associations,
which form a close corporation, exaoting an
iron-clad test of fidelity to the ring az a con-
dition of membership, and permitting none
but members TO participate in the primaries.
In Pennsylvania things are managed in much
the same way.
The board of trustees of Cornell university
mas sent cOnBrhtuiaJOry resolutions 10 senator
Morrill, of this state, and request that he sit

ing and securing national charter for Cor
nell and similar institutions 20 years ago.
Hon. John W. Stewart, the Republican
nominee for Congress in the First District, is
native of MiddlebuFy and a graduate of
Middlebury college He was adaitted to the
bar in 1850, and was states attorney for Ad-
Olson county in 1S52-54. In 1861, 1894
81 and 1876 he represented Middlebury in the
legislature, and was Speaker of the House
during the sessions of the four last-named
years. In 1926 he was one of the sena-
tors from Addison county. When biennial
terms became a part Of the organic law OF
the state (1870), he was chosen the Rrst bien-
NAL governor, and served until 1879. MIR.

A Statement OF Fact.

In the second district Grout proclams that Tyler is
pledged not to be a candidate But Tyler is in the
hands OF his Windham county friends and is expect
ed to be wiin any chance of success appears-whch
is unlkely.-SprfnGfed Republican.
The above is of piece with an alleged Yer
mont letter printed in the Republican month
ago, in which it was meanly said, or intimat-
ed, that Mr.. Tyler was laying wires for his
denomination while protesting to be out of
the field The facts are that Mr.. Tyler,
months ago, after mature elaboration, fully
and without qualification decided not to be a
candidate for reelection, and so announced,
not only to Mr.. Circuit, but to friends in all
parts of the district. His decision was early
communicated to us, and, under full authori-
ty from him, we made it public Since that
time we have had other letters from Mr.. Ty-
Ter, in which he has in even stronger terms, if
that were possible, stated his unequivocal de-
termination not to enter the lists as candi-
date in the coming canvass. More than this
to make his position plain, Mr.. Tyler could
not do; and any intimation that he is doing
undetermined work to secure the nomination,
or is Gin the hands of his friends, is as mean
as it is false. In our opinion the Rutland
Herald and Burlington Free Press, though
from the best of motives, have taken quite
too much notice of the Republicans oontemp-
tible and undigniied course in regard to Yer.
mont politics; but in this case it is only JUS
tice to Mr.. Tyler that his position should be
once more stated. just or even decent treat
ment of him, however, we do not expect from
the Springfield Republican.
We might add, in this connection, that Mr..
Tyler's friends all regret his determination to
return to private life, and that intelligence
from all parts of the district indicates that he
might easily be reelected did he but say the
| word
