The Grave of Garfield.
<fy-y.y TrJz


The final resting place of the late Presi-
dent Garfield, and the site for one of the
grandest monuments ever erected in the
United States, has at last been determined
upon. The view from this hill is the most
beautiful imaginable. tits indescribably
grand and undoubtedly the most magni-
ticent spot in the State, 1t is in a south
westerly direction from the original Gar
field knoll, about 100 feet higher, and near
it is a cluster of trees. Looking in
southerly direction, rich, rolling, farming
land. bOrdered in the distance by dense
woods, is visible. The cemetery, with its
countless monuments, is Immediately at
the foot of the hill, while a straight look
ahead discloseS to view beautiful land
scape, with old Erie in the background.
Cleveland, with its many spires and
dOmes, can be seen, and an unimpaired
view as far west as Rocky River Point
obtained, with Wade Park and Adelbert
College standing prominent on the fore
ground of the picture. The village of Col
linWood is plainly visible in northeastern
Nv direction, while countless homes, farms,
lovely gardens, winding rOadways, and
Lake Erie, dotted with boats, can be seen
at a glance. The work ofimproving these
grounds, three or five acres of which, or
whatever shall be deemed necessary, is to
be given by the Cemetery Association,
will begin Immediately. Convenient road
ways, easy of access, will be laid out.
Trees. flowers and shrubbery are to be
planted, and it is thought that the work
on the structure VIII begin in about one
year. That part of Lake View chosen is
quite distance from the cemetery proper

An American visitor put the matter on
Saturday in its true light when he said
that moral or political arguments have
comparatively little effect upon the adOp-
ton of free trade, but that the ''actual
pinching of the shoe" made England a
free trade country. Mr.. Golden belonged
to the class which felt the actual pinch
ing Of the shoe more acutely than any
other, and his opinions are due to that
circumstance more than to the unparal-
leed effort of constructive intellect which
is sometimes assumed by his adj
mirers. 1t is not very important
to settle his exact place among
the prophets, though there can, we
imagine, be very little doubt that his eX-
pectatiOns of free trade doctrines were
much more sanguine than events have
justified. Like great many of his fol-
lowers, he failed to perceive that while
the free trade theory is irretragably DEM
onstrable on the assumption that to buy
in the cheapest market is the sole or par
amount object of national endeavor, yet
it is totally inapplicable in other circum-
stances. If it does not commend itself to
Prince Bismarck, the reason is not that
his mind is inferior in strength and scope
to Mr.. Cobden's, but that his ideal
is entirely different. The means
appropriate to organize England as
uuSb NOIhSuOp are HOb SullSu
for the organization of Germany as a
gigantic camp. The shoe that pinched
England, country dependent upon the
sale of it's industry for the food it could
not produce at home, did not pinch
America, which contained within its own
far-reaching territory the means of salts
flying every human want. Protection was
theoretically defended in America upon
the ground that though free trade incon-
testably favOrs the growth of wealth, it does
not tend to effect its just distribution,
which for an intrinsically wealthy country
was the more important end of the two.
The Americans have now discovered
that protection is at least as far
as free trade from preventing the
accumulation of enormous fortunes
on one hand, and Of great masses of
poor men on the other. A large popula-
ton, apparently unwilling to abandon
life in towns and to occupy the lands
which strangers are rapidly apprOpria-
ting, is further discovering that it must
find foreign markets for its manufactures.
The food producers in the West are find
ing that they are heavily taxed to MAIN
tain a state of things advantageous only
to a minority of wealthy men. Hence
the Democratic party is adopting free
trade, though cautiously, as a plank in
its political platform, and in few years
more we shall, no doubt, see revenue re-
FORM" as it is judiciOusly called, pushed
to great lengths.

THE WESTERN UNION.
A Brief Sketch of the History of a
Powerful Monopoly.


In view of the general strike of the tel
egraphers brief history of the Western
Union Company is interesting. 1t was
organized in 1856 with a capital less than
100000. BY agreement it obtained the
control of nearly all the railroad tele-
graph lines, the agreement generally be-
ing that the railroad companies should
furnish operators and have all their husi-
ness tree over all lines, the Western
Union to take all other receipts and keep
the lines in repair. The railroads still
own the lines.
In 1858 the Western Union made stock
dividend of Ala per cent, amounting to
S1,59S, 800. In 1862 another stock dividend
of q per cent. was declared; in March,
1863, another of 100 per cent, and in De-
cember, 1868, another of 3315 per cent.
Then an issue of 100000 stock was
made to pay for purchased lines. In 1864
the stock, then $11 100000 was doubled
by stock dividend. After 1864 other
lines were purchased, and without regard
to their actual cost the Western Union
stock was increased to $41, 079, 410. Upon
the purchase of the Atlantic and Pacific
stock at the rate of $25 per share, and
representing $3,500,000 as the value of the
whole plant, and then consolidating that
and the Mutual Union, the latter not cost
ing for construction over S4,OOO,OOO, the
Western Union stock was increased to
$SO,000,000, with a bonded debt Of over
$5,000,000.
AS to cash dividends, the company paid
74H in the first ten months and prior to
the great stock dividend of Ala per cent.
After 1858 and up to 1866 the company
paid average dividends of nearly per
cent. From July 1. 1866. to June 30, 1871,
the net profits were $S2,59S, 1886 AZ, out of
which $12, 121, 1887 "a we're paid in cash
dividends and the balance mainly eX-
pended in constructing new and purchas-
ing competing lines. Since 1877 the divi-
dends have been s per cent. on the whole
stock, and the company has besides kept
on constructing new lines. In addition
to all this the company lost in 1864 about
$3,000,000 in Russian line, made useless
by the Atlantic cables.

CHICAGO has a wise institution in
floating hospital, or boat which takes
sick infants out upon the lake for abreath
of fresh air. This is the eighth year of
the Floating Hospitals existence, and
thousands of little ones have been bene-

breeze is instantaneous, as children who
are peevish and fretful at the dock become
quiet and sleep peacefully as soon as the
boat is out of the harDor.
ZULULAND and the battlefield of Isan-

memorial. The church has been built.
1t is a beautiful Gothic structure of white
sandstone. One of the London religious

The public was satisfied before the star
reuters were brought to trial that they
were guilty. nor did it need Dorsey's dis
closures to beget the popular conviction
thatthe election of Garfield and Arthur was
procured by draft upon the resources
of corruption uneXampled in our pro-
vious political history. The Republican
organs affect to discredit Dorsey's state
ments. They sneer at Brady's confirma-
ton of those statements and
pretend that the campaign of
1880 was fairly conducted. They argue
that as Garfield is dead, his memory
should be held sacred.
No Democrat wishes to pluck one justly
earned laurel from the crown the dead
President won, but every patriotic citizen
has a right to pass judgment upon the
methods which his trusted lieutenant
avows that Garfield approved to secure
the Presidency. The public is pref
ty we'll satisfied as to the cor
rectness of DorseY's statements,
but confirmation can be had in the
near future. A Democratic Congress Will
meet next December. What greater SER
vice could it render to the country than
to probe the scandal of the star route
trial and investigate the Republicans
conduct of the campaign of 1880? The
truth can he gotten at, the witnesses are
at hand, and the basis for the several i'll
quiries is established.
The Republican party is stepped in in
fanny. 1t has been repeatedly eX-
posed, but the corruption of the
Garfield campaign, and the shameful
farce of the star route trial, of themselves
invite the turning down of Radicalism.
Let DOrsey's charges be proved by direct
evidence, and let the secret history of the
acquittaI of himself and his fellow con-
spirators be given to the world. Should
the people, when brought face to face with
the proofs of the guilt of the grand old
party, hesitate to turn out the rascals,
they would merit the fate that continued
Radical supremacy would entail upon
them. Get at the facts.

About II O'Clock this morning, an old
man of about seventy years, arrayed in a
faded buster and clutching a gripsack in
his hand, entered the Secretary's office in
the Western Union building. He deposi-
ted his gripsack on a chair, and, after
placing his ancient headgear on a table,
remarked to one of the clerks: 81 heerd
there was a strike and that youse fellers

''Have you ever been in the telegraph

''JGst my luck,'' exclaimed the old
man, spitefully, as he took his departure.

Result Of tho Czar's CIemency.
London Truth

The Emperor of Russia, in his mani
festo, granted free pardon to 10000 or
10000 political offenders, mostly Poles,
who had taken part in the instruction of
1863, and to 10000 or $4,000 thieves and
cut-throats, mostly Russians, The politi-
cal offenders have not benefited much by
the Imperial clemency, for most of them
are dead; the thieves, on the other hand,
have thoroughly enjoyed themselves since
their release, cutting purses and cracking
cribs as of wore. Fortunately for honest
folks, the police have displayed great
energy, and ninety per cent. of the par
dOned prisoners are already reinstalIed
in their former quarters, to remain there
till social earthquake or new corona
ton grants them another brief spell of
liberty and crime.

Nobody has yet heard the clarion voice

will be heard, of course. The Senator
himself says it will be time enough to
begin after harvest. He will then know
whether he is to speak to full stomachs or
to empty stomachs; but that is not the
sole reason. There is naturally a reluc-
lance to enter a canvass in which the
sole Republican stage is Charley Foster
