Perhaps the next time GarGeds enemies wish
to strike blow at him in his honorcd grave they
will do it openly, and not sneak behind pre-
tended friend to do it.-New York Tribune.
According to the Tribune, then, the
publication of Whitelaw Reid's impudent
dispatch was blow at Garfield. Why?
Was the dispatch an attack upon Gar
field? Yes. 1t was most Infamous at
tack and an inefIaceable insult. 1t was
pretense by Whitelaw Reid that Garfield
was man of putty, who could be
moulded and managed. 1t was be-
littling of the President which required
the conceit of just such n political cox
comb as Reid. 1t assumed Joint inter-
est with him in the prerogatives of the
presidential office. " We must keep
the surveyorship in our own
hands" ave can get enough Dem
ocrats," &c, 1t was based on the
assumption that the President was
wavering, and dealt with him as though
he had been weak and vulgar Inferior
who could be stiAened up by an appeal
to his vanity and his timidity. 1t told
him he would be laughed at if he yielded
to his own inclination and withdrew the
firebrand he had thrown into the party
in New York. 1t virtually said, eff you
act with dignity and kindness people
will say you are afraid of Conkling." 1t
virtually said, "Let me (Whitelaw Reid
show you how to be President"
And now, when this vile, insulting dis
patch is unearthed and its writer is being
held up to the scorn and contempt of the
world, he whines and begs the world not
TO throw stones at him lest they strike
the grave of Garfield. He has been using
that grave, as many others have, for the
promotion of his own personal interests.
A hyena who had invaded it might as
well beg immunity from harm when dis
covered. The audience is weary with
the play. The scenic effects and cos
tunes are too sombre for comedy. Let
the real friends of the dead President
double the guards at his tomb, that such
political body-snatchers may no longer
disturb him dead rs they did living.

Whisky and Education.

974.SS tax collected during the last fiscal
wear from the one articlc-domestic dis
titled spirits. This is the largest collec-
ton of tax on spirits ever made in any
one wear in this country. and does credit
TO the wisdom, energy. and efficiency with
which the internal.revcnue laws ON this
subiect have been administered.
II comes from II tax of ninety cents per
Gallon, n rate which some public men
mistakenly tbouoht when il was enacted
in 1879 would prove too hiqh TO bc suc.
cessfully collected, like the SO tax that
prevailed from 1865 to July, 1865.
On the contrary, il has proved TO be the
true tax rate on spirits-viz. the best
rate that can be collected. There would
seem to be hardly question that solong
as anv internal tax is levied by the
United States Government distilled
spirits should alwnvs he the first on the
list and the most heavily taxed,
There can be no question that whisky

occasionally, as now, when whisky is
dear because it is taxed
The great body of the people, however,
will, we think, take the opposite view,
and will wish their representatives in
Congress to hold fast to the whisky tax
at its present rate, which Commissioner
Rnum has demonstrated can be success
fully collected.
There is no lack of uses for the revenue
so raised. If we do not need it for one
purpose we do for another Senator Logan
seems to have hit upon perhaps the best
and most appropriate use of the revenue
in question. lie has introduced bill to
appropriate and expend the entire income
derived from the internal revenue taxes
on the manufacture and sale of distilled
spirits for the education of all the
children living in the United States,
which bill provides that the national
school fund thus created shall be dis
tributed among the several States and
Territories pro rata according to the
census statistics of iliteracy, but pro-
hibits any State or Territory from re-
ceiving the proposed benefits which does
not provide by local enactment that all
children between the ages Of seven and
twelve years shall attend school at least
six months in each year.
Evidently in this "new departure" the
Senator has shown "most excellent
way" to utilize the whisky tax. He
would have it go to increase the facilities
for the education of the rising generation,
who will so soon be the rulers of the Re-
public; to advance the standard of in
teligence throughout our country; to
give to the children of the poor man
(often poor only because of his intemper-
ance) the means of elevating themselves
in position and usefulness in the COM
munity.
The idea is Il most happy one, and
there is no end to the good that might be
said of it.

Sargent, of California.

The labored attempt to injure Mr.. Sar-
gent, of California, by false attacks upon
the Desert Land act and false assertions
that he was its author are best answered
by the legislative history of that measure,
which we find going the rounds of the
papers. 1t was introduced by Mr.. Lut-
trell, of California, in the House, and,
having passed that body, was referred to
the Senate Committee on Public Lands
There it was placed in charge of Senator
Booth, of California, who made a written
report to the Senate stating his reasons
for recommending the passage of the bill.
1t was fully discussed and the utmost
care taken to exclude from its operation
all but really desert lands. 1t was u
wise measure, its only fault being
an amendment made apon Mr. !Sar-
genfs motion that no person should
locate more than one section of the land.
AS the desert can only be reclaimed by
great outlays in bringing water upon it
by an expensive system of ditching it
would be better that those who have the
capital and the enterprise to construct
the necessary bitches should be induced
to do so by being allowed to purchase
the now worthless land in unlimited guam
titles and at nominal price. The out
cry against the measure is the most ar
rant demagogucry.

PENNSYLVANIA,

The Republican State Central Commit
tee of Pennsylvania has called a State
convention for May 10. The Wolves
have called rebel convention for May
"a. These will of course do all they can
to control the regular convention, as well
as their own. They will vote for dele
gates to both. They will do whatever
they are told TO do by Charles Wolfe.
Wolfe has set up for n boss" He is the
reform Mulhooley." No man is for re.
form who opposes Wolfe, No delegate
can get into the Sorehcad convention
unless he suits Wolfe. No one can be
nominated for office by the Indepcnd.
ents () unless it is so ordered by Wolfe.
How delightfully."- independent! How
noble the revolt against boss rule ~
1t will be interesting to see what GER
tain uncertain men will do in all this
commotion. 1t may be found that the
revolt at the last senatorial election in
Pennsylvania was the beginning of war
upon certain men who had the audacity
TO dsobey great national boss. There
is very eminent leader in this country
who fights in the dark, and it is for his
interest that the Republican party should
go down. Upon its ruins he might thrive
better than he has under its rule, favored
though he has been.
The Pennsylvania contest will perhaps
compel showing of hands, The men
who arc angry with the Republican party
because they cannot wholly monopolize
its direction, and who barter with Bour-
bons to defeat the Republicans who de-
feat them fairly within their party lines,
are going to be observed and their acts
