WE uui
the able editor of our esteemed contempo-
rary, the Republican, to apologize. He says;
our lllustriOus friend, the unmatched editor
Of our wlldly-loved contemporary, THE CRITIC,
labors under the impression that he has been
saying something concerning our foreign re-
laiions not 10 answer which is indicative
OF silent contempt for him on the
part OF the National RpaJiicda. There is no
such stun In our thoughts. We know Of no
sage utterance Of his (and he could make no
otheT) Intended for our notice which has not
been answered after our poor, stumbling
fashion. Great publlclsts like our lllustrious
friend should not expect too much from mere
editors.
The apology Of our distinguished friend,
though somewhat unnecessarily profuse, is
accented. Of course we would have pre-
ferred the more chaste and dignified forms
Of esteemed contemporaryism pure and
simple, but, in view of the peculiarities of
our distinguished friend, we must waive
the mere matter of style. We feel bound
to remark, however that we could not re
concile onrself to the above apology had IL
been rendered to us by person of less
effusiye temperament than our distin.
guished friend.

THERE may be differences of opinion as
to how the Washington river front should
be improved, but there is none as to the
fact that the work ought to be done at
once. 1t would be better to commence even
if mistake should be made and the work
lad TO be done over. The people of WASH
ington ought by this time to understand
the average Congressman, but they do not,
or they would cease to bicker over the
manner in which the river front should be
improved and would all work together for
commencement. Once started there is no
danger of the work being stopped or done
wrong. The CRITIC has views of how the
front should be improved, and will soon
give them.

IT'S AN undisputed fact that more room
is needed for the Congressional, or, what
should be more properly termed, Tho Ma
tional Library" and there are several
plans proposed, by which the end desired is
to be attained. One is that Of the special com
mittee to purchase the two squares east Of
the Capitol grounds and erect building
there, another to purchase the two squares
opposite the Botanical Gardens and place
the building there. Still another is to
purchase the grounds north aud south of
the Capitol grounds and erect two build
ings, one for the library and the other for
the Supreme Court, while yet another is to
add story forty-eight feet high to the old
part of the Capitol building and put the
library in that, and by 50 doing give a
large number of additional and much
needed committee rooms for the use of Con-
gress.
The CRITIC has examined all these
plans. Its proposal is to accept part Of
all these plans. Let all the grounds spoken
of be purchased and added TO the Capitol
grounds, and then let the story be added
to the building and the library be placed
in it. Some penny-wise CongIessmen like
Holman may object to this because of the
expense, but it is hoped there are enough
men in Congress, Who have brains that are
not inclosed in nickel pieces, to see that
the capital Of a great nation like this should
be embellished and beautified, and that the
expenditure of few dollars more or less is
not matter of great Importance when the
future Of the capital is under considera-
tiOD.

THE LOCAL (Democratic) organ of the
late Administration finds itself unable to
longer contain the great secret that Presi
dent Garfield had made up his mind to
appoint Mr. Conkling TO the Supreme
Bench. This, if true, would have been
the unkindest cut of all. If a man must
be buried he generally prefers to have the
funeral conducted by his friends. The
spectacle of Mr.. Conkling's political re-
mains being deposited in the tomb of the
Supreme Court by Garfield in the capacity
Of sexton, with Blaine and John Sherman
officiating as pall-bearers, must have
been cruelty pathetic. The local organ
might have spared us the thought.

BY THE COURTESY of Mr.. Blaine the press
was provided with advance slips of his great
memorial oration he, of course, reservng
the right of being the first to deliver it.
But our esteemed contemporary, the Post,
either through error of its time-piece or
previousness of its editor, published the
Grafton in an extra so early that
the orator himself might have been able to
buy it of a newsboy for five cents on his
way to the Capitol to deliver it. This we
suppose is enterprise. We had the Grafton
in type Sunday night; but, not being SO
enterprising as the Post, delayed its publ
cation until MIR. Blaine could have fair
opportunity to delivcrit. Perhaps the be
havior Of the Post may be set down as one
of the privileges of socalled personal
organ.n

SENATOR ALLISON, when the imme-
diate deficiency bill was under considera-
ton, last Friday, and the amendlaent of
Senator Ferry giving $780, 900 for the pay
of Post Office clerks in the different cities
of the country, was being discussed, called
attention to the fact that all the money
asked for had been given by the last Con-
gress, and that no showing had been made
why such deficiency existed, when the
estimates of the Department had been
allowed by the previous Congress. The
debate showed that for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1881, S3,6SO,OO0 was given for
Post office clerks, and no deficiency was
made; that for the year ending June 30,
1882, s., $4,000 was asked for and given
Sl70,0 more than the previous year-and
that deficiency Of $150O00 had been
made, making an increased expenditure for
this purpose of $4,000 in one year. The
letter of January 30, from the Secretary of
the Treasury, transmitting the amount of
all deficiencies in the Executive Depart
ments, did not contain any item in regard
to Post-office clerks but subsequent
letter from the Postmaster-General, to the
Speaker Of the House, asked for Sl50,000
in the immediate deficiency bill"
Is there anything suggestive of improper
and unauthorized expenditure in these
facts?

The Grafton of James q. Blaine il aeR1'
rida of James A. Garfield, delivered to-day
in the Hall Of the House Of Representa-.
tivos was, all things considered, the most
remarkable utterancc ever made within the
walls of the Capitol Ordinarily nothingis
more commonplace than an eulogy upon
deceased statesman; stated series Of con-
yentional praises, couched in sonorous plat
itudos; touch of cxaggeration as to vir-
tues here aud there; faults sunk in the
shading of heavy background; and all
perfunctory. But Blaincs memorial ora
tion on Garfield was none of this. The liv-
ing orator had in this instance something
to do besides deck with the rhetorical gar
lands of his art the grave of a dead
colleague; something more even than gild
with shc shining tributes of his genius the
name of dead friend. lie had all these
things to do, and did them; aud that with
grace and strength that can hardly be
described by saying that it was well done.
Blaines tribute was scarcely less to his.
tory than to Garfield. He might have en-
ployed the time and the occasion in utter
ance OF panegyric that would have ruug
into one ear of mankind and out of the
other, to be forgotten except as an hour of
pleasant noise; to be given place in some
future Biography or printed with volumi-
nous papers by and by, either in Garfelds
Memoirs or in his own; little matter
which! Such would have been the aver
age. Again an idealist might have made Of
obsequy the test of egotism, like Carl
Schurz, who, when summoned by the cul-
turc of Boston to canonize Charles Sumner,
gave himself apotbeosis by mistake.
But the reader of Blaine's oration-by
whom it must be Judged, since the few who
could hear it, ssare not to be reckoned in
such a countless and long. enduring audi
ence--the reader of Blaine's oration, now
or hereafter, must see in it the epitomized
history of an epoch; brief, indeed, but
so eventful and so stirring; such panor-
anna of political images moving so swiftly
and coming so unexpectedly, that :when
| the curtain of assassination dropped over
| it, the bcholder remembered nothing but u
brilliant confusion. And the finale:

To trace such an epoch in phrase calm

mazes of such a fate-plot accurately enough
for the uses of the political student with
out spelling its element Of the dramatic
in short, to make didactic prose of such an
epic poem as Garfield's Administration
really was this seems to have been the
task Blaine undertook. In all
this drama of one act but
many scenes Blaine himself had been
chief actor In his capacity of eulogist he
was called to pass judgment upon public
character that he himself had largely
formed and sum up public life which had
been in good part his own creation. So
intimate indeed was his personal relation
to his subject that he could not even touch
upon the narrowing event that made his
eulogy possible, without treading danger
ously close to the borders of the battlefield
of faction on which Garfield fell, and, per-
chance, disturbing sepulchres not of marble
nor located on the shores of Lake Erie
Nothing could disturb the man who had
been shot to death. But there were living
dead who, as Carlyle said of spoor Marie
Antoinette, might be made to shudder
with yet one other pang;" and to these
Blaine must be merciful while being Just
to Garfield.
This was the crucial test. Whether
Blaine met it or passed it success
fully, is a question upon which,
| possibly, the verdicts will be as diverse as
| the prejudices are. Lattcrly disease has
made its appearance in our midst called
| Blainophobia which grievously affects
| our distinguished friends, the able editors
| of several of our esteemed contemporaries
| Upon some of these the dread malady has
made such ravages that if the Sermon on
the Mount should happen to be discovered
by the venerable and conservative Freling-
huysen among the archives of the State
Department in Blaines handwriting, they
would Immediately move for a chang,
in the Plan of Salvation. OF course we ex
pect such to cry out. To what extent they
may be able to impress their verdict upoi
the immediate public mind is immaterial
Whatever this effect may be in extent i
must be transitory in duration, becaus
Blaine's Grafton will live to speak fo
itself and the disease of Blainophobi
must eventually disappear. For our owl
part, we believe with the orator himself
that while "more might not be said, les
could not be said.' If anybody's feeling
are hurt, it should be borne in mind tina
splash Of blood from an assassins bulle
upon its last and incomplete page does no
round up symmetrical biography, an,
that great power suddenly parayzed in tn
midst of great events unfinished, mus
always leave many wounds unhealed.
