Our esteemed contemporary, THE NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN, seems to be prejudiced against the word
" policy" Maybe IT hasn't played to profit in
the lottery Of assassination. - Washington Post.
No, THE REPUBLICAN has not played at
all. 1t has not attempted to profit in any
manner by the death of President Gar
field. II has seen with shame and dis
gust the performances of the loathsome
crew who were unable to repress their glee
oyer the dead mans grave, so sure they
were that his death made them heroes and
insured them the spoils of office. They
never had moment of time for regret,
so wholly were they engrossed in efforts
to create public opinion which would
give them a monopoly of the plunder,
the possession of which was and is their
hearts only desire. To them the as
sassination of the President was a trump
card, with which they expected to over
whelm all who were not of their circle.
They arrogantly ordered the continue
ton of the Cabinet of March, on peril of
swift destruction to the new President.
They called their ravenous demand for
spoils "the Garfield policy" In his
name they slandered and insulted
the President. In his name they
treated the voluntary withdrawal
of Mr.. Conkling from public life
as malefaction deserving of death. In
his name they set up their claims to all
the Offices as dogma of Republican
faith, an ordinance of saving grace, a
plan of political salvation. They have
had their day. The memory of Garfield
is to be saved from further outrage at
their hands. The public Judgment is
resuming its sway. These heartless
mountebanks will not much longer be
tolerated in dancing and posturing upon
the grave of the dead President for the
attention they can command or
the pennies they can gather. The
screaming period is over. The
decent and orderly regard for grave
which charaCterizes civilized people will
rapidly clear the tomb of Garfield from
the swinish rabble which, though masque-
rading in Grape, has never uttered word
upon any subject but its own claim to be
fed. No country in time of a great ca.
lamity was ever disgraced by such 0
crowd. They are few in number
There was a time during which
the main body of the people were con-
fused by their din, and did not realize
the grossness of their behavior; but that
time is past. They will do well not to
tempt fate by ignoring this fact. The Post
not being Republican paper will not,
of course, take to itself any of the fore
going. Its paragraph merely suggested
the reference we have made to the ruff
fans who sought to make merchandise
of Presidents dying groans, and to use
his untimely and deplorable death as a
weapon with which to glut their ven
geance on the objects of their mean and
personal hatred,
They are neither man nor woman;

Thirty yearsago Theodore Parker, King, Holmes,
and Emerson were glad to lecture anywhere for
fifty dollars night. Parker at that time origin
ated celebratrd saying concerning fame; "what
do you get for such services?" asked a Boston
exclaimed the friend, "Fame, SIR" said the
orator in his consequential manner, "means fifty
dollars and my expenses" Emerson WAS noted
for hisclear and musical voice, which though by no
means loud, was very penetrating. His lectures
were always read and his eye was fixed Oh the
manuscript, but there was snCh fascination I'm his
reading that 1t seemed that any other mode of de-
livery would be undesirable.
