TIE DEAD LION AND LYING JACKAL

THE DEAD LION AND LYING JACKALS
President Garfelds real friends do not strive
to blacken his memory. They do not steal
private dispatches nor lie about the mode of
getting them. They do not try, at this late
day. to make the world think that the great
and good President, whose death all civilized
peoples mOurned, was really fool or man
of putty. Things of that sort are left to the
individual whose name The Ne,C- York Herald
does not venture to place before the public,
but whose letters falsely signed &" A Friend of
the late President" The Herald does not re-
frain from printing. If there is any person,
outside Of that Office, who assumes that name
for the purpose of defaming General Garfield.
The Herald now knows that he is a fraud, a
liar and thief. He had a dispatch which, it
has been proved, could have been obtained
only by theft. He lied to The Herald and the
public when he said that President Garfield
permitted him to copy it. He is a fraud be-
cause he pretends to be friend Of the dead
hero whose character he defames.
While President Garfield was yet alive The
Herald published, in the interests of Mr..
COnkling, certain malignant letters from a
person who professed to be an insider."
These showed startling facility In falsehood
with faculty of stealing occasional scraps of
private gossip, such as gentlemen do not filch
about the inmates of the White House. With
these few bits of truth were mixed a great
deal of falsehoOd, and q venom like that of
Mr.. Conkling himself. This person, too, while
pretending to be an intimate friend of the late
President, falsely represented him as weak
tool in the hands of others. In purpOrt, style,
dishonesty and malice these letters and those
signed "a Friend of the late President seem
to be from the same hand.
President Garfield has left a reputation too
grand to be smirched by such creatures. Tie
Herald, which editOrially said of him while
living the most unworthy and indecent things
in the heat of strife, cannot now plead that
excuse for printing untruths to defame his
memory. He has gone from us with the love
and profound regard of the whole world. No
other man in history ever had his inmOst heart
laid bare to the worlds scrutiny for months
more completely than the heart of the dead
President was laid bare during his long strug-
gle with death. The world knows this man
better and more surely than it knows any man
still living. 1t knows his purity and upright
ness. 1t knows his unselfSh devotion TO the
public good. 1t knows the marvellous courage
and nlatchless fOrtitude with which he faced
the greatest of all trials. To say that such "a
man was weak, irresolute, timid. easily bent
by others, is the very height Of folly. The

EUSLAESS.

The large gain in bank reserves, which was
shown in the statement on Saturday, was
nearly all foreshadowcd by the known dis
bursemeuts of the Treasury during the latter
half of the first week Of the month. From the
4th to the 18th, the Treasury lost and the
banks gained about $4,50O,000, which could
not have appeared in the statement of the
7th. The banks, therefore, started last week
with nearly or quite that amount in ex-
cess of their reported reserve, and the
statement of Saturday last shows a gain
Of $j,911,2 200. The difference about
$1,40O,0O0, the banks must have gained
by receipts from the interior, for the Treasury
balances were $50, 252, 434 on Wednesday, the
18th, against $S4, 75l, $50 on the 4th instant

world turns to the inmost character of the
man, which may be read in history Gs one
reads an open book and knoTs that his de-
famers wrong him.
Long before James A. Garfield was nomi-
mated for President, he knew Mr.. COn<ling
thoroughly, and expressed to friends nm abso-
lutey accurate understanding of his character.
The truth is that he knew Mr. Conking
actually better than Mr.. Conkling knows him
self. There never was the slightest possibility
that James A. Garfield could consent to such
demands as Mr.. COnkling was certain to make,
and did make. For that very reason, he
the more heartily desired and reso-
lutely determined to do full justice
to those Republicans with whom Mr.. Conkling
acted That no element in the Republican
party should be prescribed or unfairly treated.
or permitted to prescribe any other, was the
cardinal rule from which President Garfield
never departed, and would never have de-
parted if he had been urged to a different
course by every friend in the world. As a
consequence of that determination he knew
from the first that, sooner or later, he would
he compelled to meet opposition from those
who had set up despotism within the party
in New York In that certainty he called to
his Cabinet strong men of each element OF the
party, and knew just what he was doing when
he invited James @. Blaine first of all, and to
the foremost place.
Shallow politicians, nevertheless, deceived
themselves with the notion that Mr.. Garfield
could be billed They tried it, and failed.
They Rugged the conceit that President Gar
field "would not dare" to face the opposition
of Mr.. COnkling. The President did not seek
strife with anybody, but he meant to do
what he thought was right, in utter disregard
of opposition from the chiefs of any faction.
TO the end, he did. The result is that he will
stand in history "a one of the grandest char
acters ever known.
Like air men who are truly great, President
Garfield constantly sought information and adj
vice. He especially encouraged those whose
opinions he asked to give them with great
freedom and frankness. That very fact re-
vealed the conscious power and pOise and the
true greatness of the man. Small men who
steal into places of great responsibility are apt
to repel unwecome truth to be continually
afraid of dictation or undue influence, and
to favor those who speak with batcd breath
President Garfield knew his own strength
too well ever to fear that anybody
was going to "run" him. He knew the great
ness of his responsibility too well to think
that he could get on best without advice. He
wanted every man to give him the naked
truth and the best thought he had. Then he
formed his own Judgment, acted on it, and
never wavered. An Administration which,
though so short, is deseryedly claSsed as one
of the best and most fruitful in our history,
and the post-niortem defamation of creatures
who failed to bully the President when living,
are the results.

The Star, which certainly cannot be accused of

NEW LIFE IN iSIA,

The NcifoO, Chinese steamer whose arrival
in the Thames we noted recently, has caused
Il comical alarm in England. She is the first of
a line of trading steamers owned and manned
by Cinnamon, which are to run between Shang-
hal and London, carrying tea, rice, straw braid,
ETC. The Chinese very properly begin to think
they should have snare in the profits OF their
own commerce. But the English press declare
that if this line succeeds, we shall have Chi
nese immigrants by the thousand entering
London" They prOphesy that certain trades,
such as ship carpentering, etc, will inevitably
pass into their hands, aud gloomily ask, what
is to be done about it ? ." If the Chinese come,
questions will arise to which strikes are trfling."
1t will be time for John Bull to cry ont when
he is hurt by Wan Lee. The Chinaman is a
shrewder fellow than the world has supposed
II he leaves his own crowded, ill-fed country,
it is only to better himself, to go to one less
crowded and well fed. He invariably pitches
his tent on new, sparsely settled land the
Sandwich Islands, our own country, or Aus
tralla. Why should he carry his labor to a
small, over populated island from which labor
ing men escaping by the thousand every
month, in the hope of keeping themselves
alive7 The fact that English labor is scared at
his coming shadow shows how diseased is its
condition The sick man is Jared by far-off
step.
That Chinese capital should carry the war
against English capital into London itself is
quite another matter and is another proof of
how thoroughly the whole Chinese nation has
been reused during the last two years to under
stand and to push its own interests in trade as
well as in policy and in war The japanese
are making q similar effort to control, by
combination in Yokohama, the foreign silk
trade an effort which will probably prove UNI
successful from lack of capital to sustain the
necessary immediate loss. But the Asiatic ma
tons which have been so long meellly content
to be drained by civilized Europeans are show
ing signs of resistance which in the end will be
eitectual.
