Wanted. a Policy.

Congressman Morrison, of Illinois,
says Michigan contemporary, is very
rare being for Democratic politician.
He has vagrant ideas in number, that is
a necessity of his party associations. But
he has an occasional spasm of sense, and
it is that which distinguishes him above
the leaders Of his party. While the last
visiting spasm was strong upon him Mr..
Morrison said $40 ask the people to
try us instead of the Republicans is nom
sense. It is only office-seeking ON large
scale. We must have policy"
In that utterance there is the
history of many Democratic defeats.
They have begged the people to try
them instead of the Republicans. But
why try them? That is a conundrum
which no Democrat could answer, and
which was past finding out. Try us
Such was the beginning of their yocifer-
Gus appeal. And for why and wherefore,
they only answered the same thing,
"Try u.s." OF course they were told,
and it was pressed upon them with the
sledge-hammer logic of defeats, You
must give reason for trying you"
But when they soughtfor reasons they
were compelled to turn back in despair
to the one vociferous appeal, "Try us"
All of which Mr.. Morrison has discov-
cred was vain, as we have all known it
was this many years, and foolish, which
nobody mas denied. And now he tells
the brethren who for twenty years have
liz vain appealed to try us" that their
appeal was nothing more than "otfice
seeking on a large SCALE" This they
will hear without turning color. But
when they read little further and dis
cover that Mr.. Morrison advises they
must have policy, they will rise up
with feeling of mixed disgust and
despair.
Policy indeed, we, the Democracy,
have had too much of it already. We
have been on all sides of everything
That is why it is ever thus, and in
their disgust they will denounce Mr..
Morrison as blind guide.
AS they will be right 1t is not
policy the party needs. One ounce of
principle would do more for it than
forty tons of policy. But this had
never occurred to Mr. Morrison or and
other would-be guide of Democracy.

Over 1000, 900, 000 Scent stamps and $780, 000,-

Women Won't Answer for the Place.

Many New York houses are sending
out women drummers. It is more than
probable that the women will not drum
more than one season. Getting up at
all times of night to catch freight trains
to go to the next town, riding in ca
booses that smell of kerosene, on an
empty stomach, catching maps and colds
by curling upon wood-boxes and car
rying keisters through railroad yards be-
fore daylight, looking for hotel and
finding the rooms all occupied, will not
make female drummers entirely happy.
If the lady drummers could always ride
on passenger trains and have their Gus
toners meet them at the depot to carry
their sachels, and the same customers
would hitch up team and take them to
the train, there might be some fun in
female drumming. There are SO many
things that drummers have to do that
ladies couldn't doEery well that there is
no danger of radical change in the
business. Peck's San.

has been IN progress for some time
throughout the State. The law, as we
explained at the time of its enactment,
is as Infamous as Bourbon intolerance
could make it. It's first and chief aim
is to disfranchise the great mass OF the
negro vote, and thus make bulldOalng
and ballot-box stufiing unnecessary here
after. The Supervisors who superlntend
the registration were all appointed by
Democratic Governor, and are animated
by common zeal to carry out the law
in the spirit of its enactment. They
take every possible means to hinder the
registration of negroes and facilitate
that of white men. This plan of
procedure was carried to such ex-
tremes in Charleston on Tuesday
that the United States Deputy Mar
shals protested, and demanded their
right to stand near the registration Of
ficers in order that they might inspect
their work and prevent their unlawful
conduct. To this the Supervisor OBJ
jected, ordered the Marshals from the
room, and, when they refused to depart,
called the police and had them elected.
When they reported to the Marshal he
had the Supervisor arrested and taken
before Chief Supervisor Wallace on the
charge of obstructing and hindering
United States Marshal in the discharge
of his duty. Bonds were given for his
release, and he returned and reopened
the registration in the same unfair man
ner. The Deputy Marshals again pro-
tested, and were again elected. Where
upon the Supervisor was arrested sec
ond timeand released after giving bonds.
He returned again, and proceeded IN the
same way as before. On Thursday Dep
uty Marshals were treated IN the same
manner by another Supervisor, who was
subsequently arrested, and on the same
day the Bourbon State authorities had
the Chairman of the Republican State
Committee arrested because he insisted
that colored voters should have the same
rights as white in registering.
1t is easy to understand why the BouT-
bons feel safe in following tins course.
The offense is the same as that which
was charged in the recent election trials
-obstructing and hinderlng Marshal
in the performance of his duties. No
jury was found which had the honesty
or the courage to bring in verdict of
guilty on that charge, though the evil
dence of guilt was overwhelming. The
Bourbons argue that if they broke the
law with impunity once they may again,
since no jury can be found in the State
to convict them. The leading Bourbon
organ of the State speaks of the conduct
of the Marshals as monstrous." and
calls the recent attempt of the Govern
ment to enforce its authority in the State
high-handed." The whole tone of its
comments is to assert the authority of
the State above that of the nation, and
to defy the nation to help itself if it
can. The situation is at once astound-
ing and pathetic. What is to be the flu
ture of State in which the conscience
of the people is so dumb that dishonesty
in politics is hailed as virtue, and def
ance of law is treated as high service to
the commonwealth Sooner or later
South Carolina will see the blind folly of
her course. In the meantime what is
the Government going to do about it p

The body of Guiteau was buried in
the northeast corridor of the Jail al Washing
ton, and, SO far is now known to the contrary,
the remains will lie there undisturbed by any
future sepulture Under the law, the DISPOSE
ton of the bodies of criminals who are execut-
ed rests with the discretion of the Warden In
the case Of Guiteau, his sister, Mrs. Scov1e,
was without means, and could not have under
taken his burial expenses even il permitted
to do so. The only other relative
who has appeared ON the scene
his brother, John w. Guiteau, was
unwilling to assume the risk of taking charge
of the remains, believing he would be power
less to prevent body-snatchers " from steal
ing them. Therefore, Gen. Crocker resolved to
bury the assassin's body within the walls of the
Jail, where it would be beyond reach alike of
vengeance or speculation. The brick floor was
removed, and a grave seven feet deep was dug.
The coffin was borne from the chapel upon the
shoulders of six Jail prisoners, and, without
any service or ceremony whatever was lowered
into this grave and barred from sight.
The coffin was closed and no one has since been
permitted to see the remains. Mrs. Scoviile,
accompanied by Miss Chavalliere arrived at
the Jail shortly before the burial took place,
and importuned the Warden to be allowed to
see the remains and witness the burial. Gen.
Croker, however, remained firm lii his deter
mination not to accede to her request. Arriv-
Warden Croker looked inquiringly, first tow
ard DR.. Hicks and then to John w. Guiteau.
All right" said the latter, with the same i'm
perturbable composure he had exhibited all
through the ordeal of the three days, and
the coffin was at once lowered to its place. At
ter the earth had been replaced and the top of
the grave leyeled off, John w. Guiteau stepped
forward and placed at its head a crown of
white immortelles. Not word was spoken,
not tear shed. An outcast from human SYM
pathy when living, Guiteau had found an unwept
sepulture in an unmarked grave.
1t is said that John w. Guiteau's last
interview with the President was rather stormy.
John, finding the President firm, denounced
him for refusing clemency to the man who made
him President, whereupon Arthur ordered him
from the room. s E
The anniversary of the assassination
was commemorated at Washington by laying
the cornerstone of the Garfield Memorial
Church, on the site of the famous small frame
chapel on Vermont avenue
