Blaine's Decadence.

-Four years ago yesterday, just as his
administration was beginning to develop
s0me of the characteristics of the man and
his chosen advisers, James A. Garfield
preedent of the United States, was shot by
an Insane and disappointed fellow-partisan
Chailes j. Guiteau. The circumstances
which had produced this result are now
wellAnown to the world. The war of
factions, the promises made only to be
broken which drove Roscoe Conkling from
the United States Senate, the shuflling and
evasion, intrigue and equivocation which
preceded this sad event are now known
and recognized and discussed as they were
not and could not have been at the time.
The feeling Of horror and sorrow and the
resulting period of false sentimentalism
over the tragedy obscured certain political
issues involved which are now seen in
clearer and true light.
individually the murdered president was
happy in having glamour thrown around
his life and character which would not
have attached to them save for the striking
circumstances of his assassination and of
his lingering death. Although cut off in
the prime of life and at theoutset of a new
career opening before him, there was moth
ing IN his political antecedents and there is
nothing to be seen at this distance in a
review of his administration which will
impress upon history that full term of
Mr.. Garfield in the presidency would have
benefitted the country OF have saved his
party from the political defeat which has
been visited upon it. Had he even been a
man of irreproachable private character
and unsmirched political record, of greater
force OF character and more original power,
OF higher courage and more heroic mould.
the judgment OF thoughtful and earnest
people would have beenapprehensive of an
administration directed and controlled by
The agencies that he summoned around
him.
The immediate result of these and of the
play which he gave TO them was that his
party wasrent by faction, the domestic peace
Of the country was imperilled by the adop-
lion OF an unwise policy, and its relations
With other countries were put into peril by
N hdsenturer whose purpose was his own

The REPUBLICAN organs which were just
ready TO raise the cry that the civil service
rules were being violated in the treasury de-
partment because of hitch in the appoint
ment to a clerkship Of Ohio person by the
name of Kellar, will have to wait awhile.
When the matter was brought to Secretary
Manning's attention, he promptly or
dered that the appointment be made and as
sured the civil service commissioner that the
law would be respected and executed to the
letter. The attacks upon the administration
which were put into type will therefore have
TO lie on the ga lleys for time.

LANCASTER. JULY 3. 1855.
Tammauy Hall.

Tho New York San hints that the Louis
vile Courier-Journol may be somewhat
too previous " in writing the obituary of
Tammany Hall, which it has found occa-
sion to do in the fact that that Democratic
association does not seem to have the favor
Of President Cleveland and his advisers
as demonstrated in the distribution of the
New York patronage. That the admins
tration sun does not shine very warmly
upon Tammany Hall may he conceded
but then it must he remembered that
there are great many very
good Democrats in the country who
do not, so Ear, appear to he highly favored
with this warmth /; and they are too many
in number and too valuable in quality to
make 1t at all presumable that they are
frozen into an obituary condition.
Neither Tammany Hall nor any other
Democrat or association of Democrats will
ever meet political death from a loss of ad-
ministration favor, when they have sterling
merit and sound Democracy TO stand upon.
The editor of the Courier-.Jomndl has
tendency to jump TO conclusions upon brief
occasion, which puts his judgment of men
and things at discount. He is more bril-
liant than sound. If Tammany Hall could
reasonably be believed to be sustained upon
the hope Of public plunder, it would be
reasonable to believe that the loss of the
federal patronage, if it is lost 10 it, will de-
stroy it. But there is nothing in its history
upon which to base such judgment. 1t is
the Oldest DepeerStc association in the
countr J, and has always been the most
vigorous. 1t fourished for quarter
>~Of century without federal patronage and
it seems silly to say that such loss now
ensures its dissolution. 1t is true that il
seems also to have lost its grip upon the
official patronage of New York city but il
has been in this situation often before; ant
when 1t is remembered that its candidate
for mayor was beaten last fall by the refu
sal Of its leader to permit the Democrat,
presidential ticket to be traded off fo
the Tammany mayoralty ticket, il
it will be conceded that the strength o
s,virtue which caused this sacrifice is no
one Ikely'to be exhibited by demoralized
m0ribund and undeserving men. 1t Ger
tsinly does not lie with Democrats whc
profted SO greatly by the honest suppor
which Tammany Hall gave to presiden
whose nomination it had so earnestly op
posed, when that support lost it its contro
Of the patronage Of New York city, to nov
make that loss the foundation of
prediction that the organization
is slain. Our own firm opinion is tina
Tafhmany Hall deserves and receives TIL
{ appgeciative thanks of the Democracy o

statd higher to-day in the Democrats
esteem than they have ever stood. No los
of federal patronage, and no failure O
presidentialrecognition of its magnaminity
can hurt an association which has testifie,
by Its deeds that it holds its Democracy a
aboveprice, pure, honest and undefiled.

A PRETTY SIGHT is presented in the par
liamentary canvass thai Is now going on for
the representation of the borough of Wood
stock, for which Lord Randolph Churchill
and Corrie Grant are the Conservative and
Liberal candidates respectively. 1t has be-
como feminine contest for political place
Lady Churchill, the daughter of Leonard
Jerome, of New York, is leading her hus-
bands forces while two lovely young girl
graduates of Oxford are heading the opposi-
ton. The latter have been making such
inroads on the Conservative strength by
their bewitching smiles on the voters with
whom they come into contact that Lady
Jerome has felt it necessary TO press into
service two charming lieutenants, Lady
Evelyn aud Lady Edith Curzon, the young
daughters of Earl Howe. With such siren
invitations TO the polls, it will he little
wonder ii the electors forget their party
fealty and remember solely the fact that they
are men.

MANY people have perhaps wondered why
extreme contempt Is conveyed by tho ges-
ture Of placing the thumb to the nose and
vigorously agitating the fingers. 1t seems
to be nearly as old as civilization. Eugene
Mouton offers an ingenious explanation when
he says that it is because the principal effect
OF this gesture is to render tho nose tempo
rarily snubbed-which is done by the pres
suro ofthe thumb, while the other fingers
are pointed at the person ridiculed, "snub
nose e!--snubnose"--that is, the interpreta-
tion of this finger telegram is equivalent to
saying "you are foolr' This, however, does
not seem to be good foundation for Gus
tom that fourished with the ancients who
did not place so much store by physical
beauty as physical strength Besides we
have known snub-ncses that came near being
l beautiful.
