Mrs. Garfeld's FortnNo.

A resident of Cleveland says: Mrs.
Garfield has $500, 900 in government
bonds, the result of the subscription.
Then her husbands life was insured for
$50, 900, which she promptly received.
She also was paid the salary of the
President for tho unoccupied first year,
amounting to about $4,000. That
makes $4O0,0 00, does it not? Very well.
Then add $50 1000, the total value of
Gartield's estate. That was the total
amount, all that he could accumulate
in a life of fifty years. l suppose that
the income from this total of more than
S400, 900 will be perhaps $4,000 aycar.
So she is comfortable and can raise her
children well; but the loss of Garfield
was a blow that will leave n seal as long
as she lives.n

A patent has just been secured on an
invention which will be of great value
to those who are obliged to 60 through
life on crutches. 1t consists of
crutches set on rockers which are
faced with a heavy rubber band. The
user thus moves forward eight feet at a

TIE ENTERING WEDGE.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct 17.-If those who now
tread the political stage could only-rcalze the
relative Importance OF the things done in tho
present in determining the course of future
events, there is little doubt that the Democrats
of Tennessee would appreciate that when they
combined with the negro in nominating Fu
sion ticket for the State Legislature they had
taken one OF the most momentous steps ever
taken by any party
This is the first time the negro has been
taken up by those who have been calledethe
Bourbons OF the South. In other coalitions. as
chiefly in Virginia. the negroes remained apart
as united whole. and those coalescing with
them went over to the negroes instead of bring
ing the negroes over to them. They were used
as factor in politics. but they still remained d.
vdcd by the line Of color from the whites
Here the whites and blacks have attempted to

had failed TO get by means of white. The issue
on which they unite is the State debt One ele-
credit. and are opposed to the present settle

1t would be. decidedly best for the ,south, to

founded upon tho color OF the two races which
dicted as an inevitable result. But for the
ultimate success of this idea it is doubly TO, be
regretted that 1t began as ii has begun and that
1t has no broader basis than a mutual longing
for office. However this may be. here is the
entering wedge which is finally to split the
solid South. II this coalition succeed. which.
according to its opponents. is doubtful. we may
expect strange revolutions within tho next few
year and it is not too much to say that IT will
be the beginning OF an .upheaval which will
totally change the complexion of politics both
North and South. All great revolutions have
had small beginnings. and this is apparently

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1882.


The probability Is that ut tho election Of
next Tuesday an unprecedented number OF
voters who have hitherto sided with the Re-
publicans, will either change about and vote
against them, or will stay away from the
polls altogether
A great many well-known men in this
State who have voted tho Republican ticket
without interruption, have already declared
that they will vote against FoLGER for Gov
ernor They have given great many reasons.
Ono reason protested by many is that Mr.
FoLGER owes his nomination to forgery.
They refuse to support fraud. Others say
he is the candidate Of JAY GOULD. They
don't want GOULD for Governor. Or he is
.ARTHUR's candidate, and they don't like
ARTHUR. Or, without caring much shout
ARTHUR either way, they wish to rebuke the
Administration for interfering in State
politics. Or Mr.. FoLGER is himself Stall
wart, and all Stalwarts must follow GRANT
and Ego out of politics"
HENRY WARD BEECHER, in his maiden
Democratic speech for this campaign, says
that he will vote against FoLGER because he
would punish those who discarded capable
and worthy Governor for an untricd man.
Many reasons are also given why GROVER
CLEVELAND should be elected our next Gov
erDor. Well, Mr.. CLEVELAND will be elected,
and by a tremendous majority.
But behind all these special arguments, the
great impulse that is moving this mighty
mass of voters over to the Democratic ranks,
ls the irresistible conviction that the Repub
lican party is corrupt, is extravaSaut, is de-
based by fraud and proiligacy, and ought to
be turned out.
1t will be a brighter day for the republic
when this work is accomplished.

Next winter the Legislature OF New Jersey
will elect a Senator in Congress to succeed
the Hon. JOHN r. MCPHERSON, Democrat.
On account of the prepondcrance of Republi-
cans who hold over in the State Senate, that
party will probably have a majority of five
In that branch of the Legislature. The Dem
ocrats must therefore carry the Assembly by
majority of at least six, or they will lose
the next United States Senator.
The Republicans understand the situation,
and the Democrats must look out for the
close districts, which the Republicans are
trying to capture. There are plenty Of such
districts, as, for example, one-eighth Of the
members Of the last Assembly We're chosen
by maiorities OF less than 100.
1t is already made known that il the Re-
publicans control the Legislature. SEcoR
robson will be candidate for Senator in
Congress. Let honest voters repudiate his
pretensions in advance by sending to the AS
sembly men who cannot be bribed or bullied
TO support this notorious robber.

trial Of the prisoner; and they insisted
that when ARABT was arraigned he should

gruous, incohcrent, and indefensible than
this proceeding, from the point Of view Of

is no less hard to SEQ how the English could
have avoided placing themselves in this awk-

any Of the sort OF pride which is praiscwor
thy and any adequate appreciation Of the
poets true title to fame, they will signify
their unwillingness to have the memorial,
about which SO much has been said lately
placed in Westminster Abbey.
On the part OF Englishmen the honor will
be grudgingly given, II bestowed at all. The
London Times declares that there is no space
In the Abbey for international monuments.
Punch ridicules the project by announcing
that Mr.. JONES of the Marlborough Gazette
has joined the LoSGFELLow Memorial Com
mittee. The tone Of the English press is in
dicative Of the feeling of the English people.
They evidently suppose they are doing us a
favor. There is an air of condescension about
their action in reference to the proposed me-
mortal which cannot be pleasing to persons
possessed of self-respect.
When Westminster Abbey and its monu-
ments are dust, the Psalm Of Life will still
keep alive the memory Of its author among
millions OF English-speaking people to whom
the names OF most Of the distinguished dead
within that famous mausoleum will remain
forever utterly unknown.
