stricken when Dorsey was invited to as
sumo the whole responsibility and al
most absolute powers in the conduct Of
that remarkable campaign. 1t is u fact
that after the Fifth Avenue conference
there was sHdden revival of confidence
on the part of leading Republicans with

Immediately after, with as little appar-
cnt reason, there was a sudden change
in the political complexion of Indiana.
1t is fact that Garfield wrote to his
"dear Hubbell" that he hoped Brady
was doing well in the departments, and
looked to his unusual resources for
assistance in his embarrassment. 1t is
a fact that dinner was given to Dor
sey in New York, after the election, to
acknowledge his skill as dispenser of
sssoap," to admit that he saved Indiana
with money, and leading Republicans.
Garfield among the number, were either
present or sent their profound acknowl-
Judgments of the worth and value of
Mr.. Dorsey in the campaign. When
we refresh our minds with all these
facts we hardly need the testimony of
Dorsey or any one else to fill out the
story. Instead OF there being any i'm
probability about the latter's state
ment, it fits the established truth like its
complement. 1t is the missing half of
a torn leaf. The Jay Gould and STAN
ley Matthews incident is not dependent
upon Dorsey for substantiation. Why
has not the Tribune something to say
about that part of it? Its editor knows
considerable about it, or is said to. at
least. We believe now as we believed
at the time that the Republican cam
paign Of 1880 was one of the blacklist,
most corrupt and most desperate con-
spiracies of the century. II new light
can be thrown upon the details history
demands the revelation, and the testi-
mony of the man who has turned peo-
pies evidence becomes. valuable, like
all evidence of that kind, only as it
harmonizes with and strengthens facts
already known.-Boston Post.

According to Western school

The Dorsey Exposures.

The reception of the late expose Of
the secrets Of the Republican campaign
of 1880 is just about what we supposed
it would be on the part of the Repub-
lican journals. They are violently an
cry and declare the whole thing tissue
Of falsehoods, fabricated by Dorsey's
well-known ingenuity in spirit of re-
venge and desperate malice. That is
one wing of their defense, or rather
apology for defense. The other is an
assumption ofgrief and indignation that
any such charge or charges should now
be brought, when the man against whom
they are mainly directed 10 no longer
alive to defend himself. We are sorry
that they are SO shocked by the bad
taste of those who give these charges to
the public, and if only the individual
was concerned we should join them in
their desire to throw the mantle of
charitable silence over the memory of
the dead. But that is not the point.
History never admits mol pros. What
ever the candidate of the Republican
party may have done in 1880 he did to
q considerable extent in the name of
that party and with the knowledge and
consent, if not approval, of many of the
leading men in it. We will admit that
so far as Dorsey's statements stand
alone, they must be accepted with the
greatest caution, if not suspicion. But,
ON the other hand, it will not do to say
that they are falsehoods simply because
of a general impression that Dorsey is
entirely capable of falsehood- If it is
falsehood. it is remarkably ingenious
and workmanlike. What Dorsey has
said merely supplies the connection to
certain detached facts with which the
public is acquainted Independently of
the recent Secretary of the Republican
Committee. 1t is fact that Dorsey
knew more about the whole. arrange
ment of WAYS and means in the cam
oaign of 1880 than any other man. 1t

a LITTLE CHILD.

Unconscious chidhood's tiny grasp
Draws us from business. books and art;
Mightier than all the world, the clasp
Ofone small hand upon the heart.
OF late, with lids that mimicked death,
In fever flames our darling lay;
While we who watched her fiutfering breath
Could only wait, and hope, and pray.
Pale gliding shapes and whispered words
Haunted the hushed and shadowy room,
Till the first twitter of the birds
Awoke, and daybreak edged the gloom.
On vacant chairs and silent walls.
Where lonely watches of the night
Grow old. how strange, how spectral, flllj
The mockery OF the morning light!
As in a trance of fear we moved;
Peril to one we cannot save,
Peril and pain to one beloved,
Make trembling towards Of the brave
The dawn rose, pitilessly bright;
The sunshine wore an alien hue;
There was not any more delight
In song of bird or spark of dew.
How idle seemed the task that claimed
cold, accustomed service still
Each worldly wish was quelled and shamed!
Alike were tidings good and Ill.
Friendship itself small solace brought;
We came and went like dull machines;
How foreign to the harassed thought
The golden fields and azure skies
Were yelled in sorrowful eclipse,
TIL bcamed again those darkened eyes,
Till smiled once more those childish lips.
Another night: all night she slept,
She woke: O joyi was ever dawn
So heavenly sweet as that which swept
With drizzling showers the trees and lawn!
The hillside frowned, by lowering brows
OF gloomy thickets overhung;
But In the dripping chestnut boughs
cheerful robin perched and sung.
Dear omen of her blest release
From pain and the Great Dread past byl
Peace filed our souls, the light of peace
Was over all the earth and sky.
D happiest day of all the yeari
Each moment had fits joyous thrill:
Whatever came brought hope and cheer;
Alike were tidings good and i'll.
Now never more, u heart be sad,
When cloud and tempest drench the pane,
But keep the day with thoughts as glad
As robins singing In the rain.

Terms of Subscription,

1t is not yet known how much the new
tariff has reduced the revenue. During
the ninety days ending September 80
there was a falling from last years GUS
toms receipts of 50, AT, lS4, pnd of inter-
nal revenue receipts of s9,373,52O. Mis-
cellaneous receipts show a decrease of @
I353, ,5l2. The gross reduction for the
three months has thus been $2l, ,554,2l
1t is hard to determine what causes share
in this result Stimulated PREDICTION ofar-
ticles, lightsned of internal revenue taxes,
and increased imports, under the lower
tariff, would make the reduction that it
was theoretically expected to be. At the
same time, large percentage of the re-
ceipts in July were duties on goods that
had been waiting in bond for the new tar
if to go into effect One thing is evident,
the reduction Of duties was far less than
was supposed last March in comparison
with those in the internal revenue. 1t
seems doubtful If the falling off through
out the rest of the year will be as great as
in the first quarter, and if the entire re-
duction exceeds $50, 900, 900 will be quite
as much as can be reasonably expected.
