A Better Man than Garfield.

New York Sun (Democratic) June H.
We have been somewhat interested to
learn the exact reason why SO many dis
tinguished Republicans and so many
hitherto faithful Republican newspapers
refuse this year to support the candidate
of the party.
The grounds of objection resolve
themselves mainly into the assertion
that Mr.. Blaine is personally corrupt
man. "As speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives," says the New York Times,
'he bartsred his official influence for pri-
vate gain" The Brooklyn Union speaks
of "his venality" "Mr. Blaine says the
Saturday Evening Gazette, of Boston. sis
man whose integrity in private life
has been successfully assailed." The
semi religious. semi-political Independ.
ent has mo heart to 60 into Mr.. Blaine's
private record. We regard it," adds the
independent, "as not that of a man lit
to be the candidate of the Republican
party" Another religious contemporary,
the Baptist Weekly, remarks: Caesars
wife should be above suspicion, and a
man who aspires to the Presidential
chair should be above the charges which
dishonor the official life of Mr. Blaine
The expression of individual opinion
corresponds to the utterances of the dis
satisfied newspapers. We find the belief
in Mr.. Blaine's personal dishonesty pre-
sented with every degree of eandOr, from
the declarations of Daniel H. Chamber
lain, the head of the gang who plundered
South Carolina. that "to ask support fol
such candidate is an insult to any hon.
est man or Republican" to the blunt
assertion of the fellow who was put out
of the New York Custom House fol
calling Mr.. Blaine thief.
The boiling Republicans say that they
cannot support Mr.. Blaine because he il
corrupt man. As the st. Louis Globe
Democrat put the case. few days be
fore the convention, "hs is an unclear
man. and the people will not have him
He stands self convicted of prostitutinl
the high offices he has held to build up I
private fortune, of cohxbiting with cor
ruption for dishonest money"
II the Republican opposition to Mr.
Blaine proceeds from a sincere beliel
that he is unfit to be President, and from
the single desire to promote the caus'
of honest Government by repudiating ,
candidate of proved dishonesty, tn,
movement is highly creditable to thu

THE "Angelus." which Millet's famous
picture has made known to many Prot
estants, is said to be So called because it
is the angelic salutation of the Angel
Gabriel to the Virgin Mary. "Angelus"
is the first word Gn Latip) of the prayer
mentioned, and has given the name of
the entire devotion, just like the "Pater
NOster," the ave-" and "Credo." The
prayer begins thus: 'Angelus Domini
annuntiavit Maria,' Sc, and is said in
the church, at morn. at noon. and at eve,
to commemorate the message from
Heaven announcing to the Blessed Vir-
gin her election ~ the mother of God.
The prayer is called in English, "The
Angelical Salutation," or simply, as ex-
planned, "The Angelus."

newspapers and the men who are its
leaders. Is that the case?

-Four years ago. every one OF the news
papers from which we have quoted un-
favorable opinions respecting James G..
Blaine's personal integrity, supported
James a. Garfield for President of the
United States. Many other Republican
| journals that now decline to lift finger
for Blaine were Jealous advocates of
Garfield Some of them, in accepting
the nomination of the Ohio man, were
forced to swallow utterances of their
own respecting the candidate of 1880
quite as positive and damnatory as any
thing ever said about the candidate of
1884. What a season of humiliation, of
retraetion, of self qualification that was
fer the Republican pressl Yet, without
any conspicuous exception that we now
recall, the newspapers that had judged
Garfield and condemned him on the rec
ord evidence of his personal dishonesty,
tumbled over each other in their eager
ness to shield and defend the convict AS
soon as an accident bad made him the
candidate of the party. The Garfield of
the Poland committees report and the
DeGolyer investigation was inn ediately
replaced for campaign purposes, and
since then for historical display, by an
other Garfield of very different moral
complexion. 1t has been proved that
such transformation is not impossible;
why is it not undertaken for the benefit
of Blaine?
We have failed to discover any pro-
cess of comparison that does not exhibit
Mr.. Blaine as Gen. GarHeld's superior in
point of moral reSpectaGility, as he un-
questionably is i'll intellectual force. Say
the worst that has been charged against
Blaine, and worse still has been proved
about Garfield. Mr.. Blaines personal
dishonesty has never been declared by
committee of his Republican associates
in Congress; be was acquitted of partic-
ipation in the Credit Mobilier bribery by
the very court that convicted Garfield.
Mr.. Blaine has no occasion to pray for
the suppression of the Poland report.
Mr. Blaine is accused of using his oppor-
tunities as Speaker of the House for the
promotion of his private fortune; We
know of no check that has been traced
from the lobby into his hands. |
Mr.. Blajne's Republican constituents |
have never demanded his removal from
office because he was a bfibetaker and a |
perjurer. Was there anybody personally |
acquainted with the two men who would
not rather have had Blaine's word than
Gartield's bond? Mr.. Blaine suffered |
sunstroke at time when his testimony
was wanted by an investigating COM
mittee; we have never heard that at any
time he contemplated suicide as the only
way out of his troubles MIR. Blaine may
have gone down on his knees before
Mulligan; who can say that he has
raised his hand before God while swear
ing to lie?
Why. then, should respectable Repub
lican voters and newspapers that sup
ported Garfield reject Blaine?

The Silver Lining.

There's never a day so sunny
But little cloud appears;
There's never life so happy
But has had its time Of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to pruns the border
To find the forget-me-not.
There's never cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never path SO rugged
That bears not the prints of feet;
And we have Helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never sun that rises
But we know t will set at night;
The tints that glsam in the morning,
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never a dream that's happy,
But the waking makes US sad;
There's never u dream of sorrow
But the waking makes us glad;
We shall lock some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There's never way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There's always guide to point US
To the 'little wicket gate;'
And the angels will be nearer
To a soul that is deselate.
There's never heart so naughty,
But will some day bow and kneel;
There's never heart so wounded
That the Savior cannot heal;
There's many a lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.
