SENATOR HoAR, of Massachusetts,
is now drawing his pay. The term Of
his friend, Collector Beard of Boston
was about to expire. The Senator was
anxious to extend it. Relying upon
Senatorial courtesy" with the aid Of
his associate he expected an early
announcement of the re-appointment
of Mr.. Beard. But the President
found another fellow up in Boston. a
Stalwart friend of Conkling, and the
opportunity could not be lost to ad-
minister a proper rebuke to Mr.. Hoar
for his opposition to the confirmation
of Conkling on late occasion, when
Senatorial courtesy" did not count in
Massachusetts,.

Then and Now.

Speaking of the facility by which
Republican sentiment, if not princi.
pie, can be accommodated to circum-
stances, the Washington Post says
with unexampled bitterness and the
most indignant language Republican
papers during the campaign of 1880
denounced the authors Of the Morey
letter for their attempt to impose upon
the people to the injury of the Repub,
lican party n document which was ut.
terly at variance with its principles.
General Garfeld's prompt reply to
Chairman Jewell denouncing the letter
as forgery, and in which he said "its
stupid and brutal sentiments | never
expressed or entertained was accept.
ed with marks of unqualified approval
by Republicans everywhere. Let us
see what were these stupid and brutal
sentiments" according to General Gar.
field. Here are the passages;
"I take il that the question of EN-.
ployers is only n question OF private and
corporate economy, and individuals or
companies have the right 10 buy labor
where they can get II cheapest. We
nave a treaty with the Chinese Govern.
ment which should be rcligiously kept
,,nfl - be- -
action of the General Government, and
| am not prepared TO say that it should
be abrogated until our great manufac-
turing interests are conserved in the
matter OF labor
These sentiments-that corporations
have the right to buy labor in the
cheapest market, and that Chinese i'm
migration should not be restricted so
long as corporations need laborers-
Republicans through their leader char
acterized as too stupid and brutal for
any member of their party to enter
tain. But the more attention is di.
rected to the veto message of President
Arthur the more apparent it becomes
that the position taken by him does
not conflict in any material particular
with the opinions upon Chinese labor
put into Garfeld's mouth by the un.
known forgers. Speaking of the Chi.
nese President Arthur remarks that
"no one can say that the country has
not profied by their work. d.
Enterprises would have lain dormant
but for them. There may,
however, be other sections of the coun-
try where this species of labor may be
advantageously employed" lie might
as well say that no matter what are
the opinions of tne entire Pacific slope
our great manufacturing and other
interests all over the country are not
yet conserved in the matter of labor,
and that our policy az to Chinese i'm.
migration should not be changed until
they are.
Without discussing the point whether
General Garfield was right in his
letter to Chairman Jewell or Presi.
dent Arthur is doctrinally sound in
his veto message, it is enough to say
that Republicans, in adopting the
views of the latter, set themselves as
party, in direct opposition to the opin.
ions of the late President while a can
didate, and show that they we're only
hunting votes when they raised such
hue and cry against the williams, who,
in forging the Morey letter, published
such stupid and brutal sentiments"
over the signature of their leader. 1t
is one thing to be candidate for Office
and quite another to be n President
installed in Office.

 Tunnel of their Own Making.
 ST. LOUIS, March 17-Yesterday horrible accident occurred at St. Joseph. Some boys were digging tunnel in hill on the out skirts of the city, for boyish purposes. They took turns in working at it in small parties. The tunnel was five feet wide, and had been pushed into the hillside about ten feet. At three o'clock some of the boys went away, leaving at work Michael Garrish, aged seven- teen; Allen Failes, aged nine; Samuel Montgomery, ,aged eight; John Montgomery, aged fourteen, and Nicholas Kell, aged thir- teen. When the boys who had left returned at , o'clock they found the mouth of the tunnel closed by heavy mass of earth. Their cries to their companions brought no answer, hastily they began to remove the earth. Two feet from the entrance the pro- truding hand of young Failes was encoun- tered. An alarm was then given, and hun dreds gathered the spot. The Iifeless bodies of the five boys were unearthed in the presence of their mothers and sisters Michael Garrish alone showed symptoms of life by faint pulsations of the heart, which ceased almost as soon as his body was ex- humed. All the boys belonged to well-to.do families
