Mr. Blaine's eulogy on President
Garfield, delivered last Monday in the
Capitol at Washington before the Sen
ate and the House of Representatives,
assembled in joint session, is well con-
ceived, and by its earnest simplicity OF
style will attract with new force the at
tention of the reader to his melancholy
theme As though he conceived his re.
lation to the late President to be not
unlike that of Marc Antony to his MUIR
dered chief, he adopts In his Grafton the
straightforward language of man
whose duty it is to review the career of
his friend. Nor can it be forgotten that
there are many reasons why 1t Ia pc
cuIiarly appropriate that Mr.. Blaine,
rather than another, should be the
speaker on this occasion. 1t was Mr.
Blaine who, when at the Chicago con
vention it became clear that his own
chance of receiving the presidential
nomination was desperate, threw his
strength in favor of Garfield, caused bis
nomination, and thus in effect made
him President This was mark of the
tie of friendship which then bound
these two men together. and this tie
was STRENGTHENED when, after the 4th of
March, President Garfield called upon
Mr. Blaine to occupy the first place in
his cabinet. Together they carried on
the combat against the stslwarts, and
they were together on the fatal I'd of
July when Guiteau's bullet ended the
Presidents life and put period to Mr..
Rlaine's ambitions. Tragic as was that
event, it had double pathos for Mr..
Blaine, who saw his friend, his chief
and associate in the government, shot
down before his face.
Mr.. Blaine's eulogy consists of Q mar.
rative of the events of President Gar
fields life, interspersed with comments
upon its principal incidents He shows

English Puritans who came to this

Mr.. Blaine says, in reference TO the
war between the late President and the
Grant faction of the Republican PARTY
that after the most anxious deiibera-
ton and the coolest survey of all the
circumstances, President Garfield be-
lieved that the true prerogaiives of the
executive were involved, and that he
would be unfaithful to his supreme OBJ
legation if he failed to maintain in all
their vigor the constitutional rights and
dignity of his great Office, and that in
all the bearings of the subject, actual or
possible, he was content in his mind,
justified in his conscience, and immova-
BILE in his conclusions. President Ar
thur sat Immediately in front of
Mr.. Blaine when he spoke these
words. and was apparently imperturba
BILE, but If subject to the ordinary iDfiu-
ences of human nature, the fact that he
had Just nominated for the Supreme
Bench the man who had led the upjus-
tifiable attack upon the President whose
death was attributable to that ATTACK,
and that al the immense ccncoarse
whose eyes were then directed toward
him even at that moment thinking
about that nomination, and wondering
what he was thinking about when he
made it, must at least have produced in
him q feeling Of extreme uncomforta-
bleness. Gazette.

seek educations elsewhere, but under
the political administrations now being
inaugurated these academic halls will
soon cease to resound with the tread OF

PAY OR NO PAY.-A joint resolution

Wednesday by vote Of Is to IL. Petit
lions are being circulated for signatures

Riddleberger's resolution to extend the

received no pay for the extension, but
If the Governor calls an extra session
they will be entitled to receive regular

mercenary legislature. that has spent
most of its time in apportioning the
spoils among partizans will elect to
have an extended session wi thout pay
or an extra session with pay. 1t will
vote against extending the session

the Governor to call an extra session

A Sermon on Marriage was delivered

A Sermon on Marriage was delivered
by Rev. Father Maturin, at st. Clem-
ent's Catholic Church, Philadelphia.
Sunday evening week. He is quoted
as saying: "By the laws of God husS
band and wife are one; the wife's rela-
tives are thus the husbands relatives,
and he who marries his deceased wife's
sister commits rs great sin as he who
marries his own sister. Matrimony
was founded by God, but has been de-
graded by the sins of men. Persons
who are married are not married by tn.
priest or by the church, but by God.
and there can be no dispensation to
violate the sanctify of the marriage
state. The divorce laws of men are il
open and direct contradiction to the
laws of Christ, and are one of the open
wounds of social life."

cowardice and apostacy to principle
when Republican President and Re

them for watching and waiting" and
they shall have the luck to kick out the
Mahoneites who took the places they

conclusion that the leaders of neither
the Republican nor Mahoneite parties
care anything for the public schools
and it will be exemplified before the
summer is gone-that they care moth

and that will be shown as soon as Their
judiciary is appointed-that they care
nothing for economy is shown by theil
creation of affices and increase of sala

ditior, and that these parties in Fedora
and State offices care nothing for thu
public service, is directly indicated by
the carelessness in mails and other pub
lie service, and decentralization among
all the officeholders.
Such an administration is not likely
to win friends and hold them thre'
years-such corruption will work it
own cure-such wild and reckless legis
iation will disintegrate the coalition il
