The Late Schuyler Colfax.

From the time OF his triumphant
election as vice-President on the
ticket which made General Grant
President. and all though his subse-
quent history, our opinion OF Mr..
C0lfax has not varied. We regarded
him Us one OF the excellent instances
Of workingmen rising though mer-
It to the higest places Of power, and
as very far above the average OF
politicians. We most carefully
scanned the evidence which was
brought out ut great length against
him In the Credit Mobilier matter,
and became convinced then and
since that the one fault he committed
was receiving two checks, Of thou
sand dollars each. Ia presents from
the contractor for furnishing station
cry and printing to the Post.office
department, he, Colfax. being at the
time chairman Of the committee on
that branch Of the public service.
The temptation to accept these
checks was great. namely, necessity
for the salaries OF public officers
were small In those days, ard they
were paid in legal.tender green
backs. which would not buy nearly
as much as specie dollars. Expenses
OF living IN Washington increased
greatly, and the public servants hal
to wear themselves out borrowing;
but all this was n0g an excuse for ac-
cepting presents from contractor.
N. Y. Witness (Republican.)
This Is the best defence Of Mr..
Colfax we1have seen pleading pow
erty m IN excuse for accepting
bribes. And yet the bride takers
estate pans out over one third OF q
million dollars. How few Of the
people. robbed and betrayed BY
these god and morality" statesman
could close np.their estate with my
thing left to widow and children.

The Chicago Herald, speaking Of
Bayard's resolution In regard to the
dynamite explosions In England,
says:
IF the resolution introduced in
the United States Senate by Senator
Bayard furnishes q fair sample 81
his idea OF what the foreign policy
Of this government should be he is
not the man who is wanted TOR Sec
rotary Of State. He evidently be-
longs to the same class OF men as
Abram S. Hewitt. OF New York, who
will introduce 4 measure in congress
and then hasten to the British min
lister to assure him that nothing is
meant by it.
"We want for Secretary OF State Il
man with strong character, dignity
and unqucstioned AMcricanism. II
is no place FOR person who Is car
ricd away by English clamor or Eng
lish misl That official
is not supported by the government
for the purpose OF making official
dom in Washington an echo Of Of
ficialdoni in London. and It is no
part Of his duties TO borrow trouble
or shed tears when English politics
find expression in riots or explo-
sions.
IT. as has hc.a said, Mr.. Bayard's
resolution OF sympathy was intro
dnced for the purpose OF showing
the attitude or the new administfa-
| ton toward England the principle
enumerated cannot be combuted too
ii.rccly. His action shows the same
snob5ish spirit of which the demo
Gratis have long complained. This
country has no sympathy for Eng.
land, and II is useless for aristOc-
racy loving Senators to pretend that
1t has"

President Arthur vetoed the Fit,


President Arthur vetoed the Fitz
John Porter bill for the alleged rea-
son that it was an infringement Of
the presidential prerogative Of ap.
pointment. That bill was Senate
bill No. $3.50. And Mr.. Arthur asks
Congress to pass bill like Senate
bill No. 1850 to enable him to put
Grant on the retired list. Inasmuch
as it would interfere with the Presi-
Dental prerogative Of appointment
it should not be done. Grants theory
while accepting presents and brides
was that men who could not take
care Of themselves should be sent to
the poor house. That is as good q
place for him Us for the better men
than himself whom he helped Shy.

Protection and the Irish World. >


One would suppose to watch how
the Irish World handles the much
abused word protection" that 1t
really had something to do for the
cause Of labor. Yet no man knows
better than the editor Of the Irish
World that In 0 factory the individ-
nal or corporation who owns II, actu-
ally own the operatives therein, who
are simply part and parcel Of a huge
machine. These persons. no matter
where their field of operation or to
what extent the industry they are
employed In Is protected, have such
miserable wages for the services
they perform that they live In con-
slant terror Of being deprived OF
employment and cast out into the
world by the substitution OF other
pauper labor for their own. Opera
tives everywhere, in spite Of . pro.
tcctive tariff, are compelled by their
very necessities to obey the most
arbitrary rules Of a desrotic power
which absolutely hold the lives and
destinies OF the operatives and their
families In Its hands and to whom
the operatives are not human be-
ings 1t all, but simply commodity
IN the market to be purchased a&
the cheapest market rates and to be
used up In the production OF profit
with as little regard to life, health or
happiness, as to any inanimate part
Of the vast machine Of which they
are q component part. Tie Irish
World, We say. Is fully advised OF
every one Of these statements being
absolutely true, that the only means
to correct these evils Is to put the
corporations under absolute control
Of law and take away from the banks
their absolute control over money,
the control OF which gives them the
control Of the lives and destinies Of
mankind. We respectfully call the
attention Of the Irish World to the
following protected industries, every
one OF which, with many others
which we might enumerate did
space permit. In which the protested
laborers are out IN the cold:
The Fall River spinners.
The silk ribbon weavers Of New
York and Patterson.
The Cincinnati cigar makers.
The Troy aud Albany stove
m0ulders.
The New York plumbers.
The bricklayers OF Buffalo.
The New York bricklayers and la
borers.
The Buffalo long shoremen.
The New York brown stone cutters.
The Hooking Valley minecs.
The Colorado coal miners.
The Penn (fourtk pooD coal
miners.
The Philadelphia carpet weavers.
The Philadelphia shoe makers.
The South Norwalk CONN hat
ters.
The New Orleans car drivers.
To us 1t seems that Mr.. Ford has
sold out body and soul to the rob.

The Court OF Claims made up OF
rail road attorneys has just rendered
decision In the case OF the Union
Pacific rail road, which makes Q
present to the Sad Of 100000, and
and robs the government OF that
much. The promises OF the road to
the government are like ropes Of

lobby is industriously ut work per-
fecting legislation in the Senate

render the claim OF the people
against the road OF less value than
the white paper on which it Is re.
corded. Both Senators from Iowa

"A Do Nothing Congress !"

It IL certainly amusing to read the
charge In the State Register that
the present is "a do.nothing con-
gress,r and its enumeration Of the
measures that have failed, Or will
fall to become laws il Is follows:
1.-THE Mexican pension bill will TAIL.
The educational bill will fall. The
Inter.Sta commerce bill will fall.
Land bills Of all kinds will fail. Re.
habilitation Of tho navy will fall.
Laws to regulate the counting Of the
electoral votes will fail. Everything
but the annual money bills
and the stealing OF seats from the
helpless minority will fail. The trea.
ties have very little hope Of rati6ca-
tion, certainly any that depend On
the favorable action Of the House
will miss Of getting It. Grant will
not be placed on the retired list
Now It IL . notable fact that every
one Of these measures Of any inter.
est or benefit to the general public
has been defeated In the Senate
which Is republican, while the House
has approved most Of them. "The do
nothing" element Is the monopoly

Henry NJ. Teller Secretary of

was never built, no land was select

BY customary proclamation. The
