\ BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
Chester Allan Arthur was born in
Fairfield, Franklin County, Vermont, on
October ), 1880. He was the son OF the
Rev. VIM. Arthur, Baptist clergyman,
who came to America at the age of Is
from the County Antrim, Ireland. Ex-
President Artllurs early education was
acquired in the schools of Vermont, and
he finished his education at Union Col
lege, Schenectady, from which ne was
graduated in 1919, taking a prominent
position in his class After teaching
school for few years he studied law,
and having been admitted to the bar he
formed copartnership with Henry D.
Gardiner, which was eminently success
full. Ex-President Arthur was associated
with Mr.. William NJ Evarts in the cele-
brated Jonathan Lemmons case in 1852,
in which the liberation of eight fugitive
slaves was sustained by the Supreme
Court of the United States, the argu-
ments on that position having been made
by EvaIts and Arthur.
Mr. Arthur early took an active inte-
rest in politics as Henry Clay Wing,
and was delegate to the convention at
Saratoga, which founded the Republican
party Of New York. In 1860 he was ap-
pointed engineer in chief on the staff OF
Governor Morgan, OF New York, and was
afterwards made Inspector General and
Quartermaster General, which last Office
he held until 1863. In 1865 Mr.. Arthur
returned to his law practice, and soon
became engaged in politics, having been
appointed Collector Of the Port of New
York in 1871, and was reappointed to
that Office in 1875.
In 1877 President Hayes ordered Mr..
Arthur to resign his party position as
Chairman of the Republican Central
Committee of New York, with which
order Mr.. Arthur refused to comply. He
was therefore suspended from office in
1873 and his successor confirmed by the
Senate, although the special committees
appointed to investigate Nj. Arthur S
official conduct found nothing on which
to base charge of dereiction.
He was Jealous supporter of the
claims of General Grant to the Republi-
can nomination to tie Presidency in
1880, and, after the defeat Of Grant, was
himself nominated by acclamation to the
! N'ice Presidency, with Garfield as Presi-
! d 1T. On the assassination OF Garfield,
in July, 1881, Arthur succeeded to the
Presidency, which position he held until
the election Of President Cleveland IN

TIE LEES RISING.

Two in High Positions and Two More Coming.
For nearly twenty years after the war
the sons and nephews of Robert E. Lee
lived in retirement, devoting their atten-
eion to the tilling Of the soil and seeking
no public notice. AL at once, within the
last few years, they have come forward,
and just now it seems that they will soon
have large share OF the good things in
the way Of offices. General Fitzhugh is
Governor and has still higher aspirations.
He is already looking With longing eye
upon the seat of Senator Riddleberger,
and from the present indications it would
seem that his longing is likely to be
gratihed. The next Legislature is sure
to be Democratic, and there IS hardly
man in the State who would enter into a
contest with General Fitzhugh.
General Runy, his cousin, is Congress
man elect, and as it is the custom to re-
turn member two or three times in his
district, he has good lease of Office be-
fore him. His small majority this time
will not hurt him, since it was due to the
security felt by his friends. Two other
Lees are now looming up and will proba-
bly, shine in the political armament in
the near future. One is General Custis
Lee, brother of Runy. He has never
before dabbled with politics, but since
the recent elevation of members of his
family it is said that he is waking up to
ambition. According to the programme
of the Lee enthusiasts, he is to succeed
FitZhugh in the Governors chair three
years since. This arrangement is very
pretty one if it can be carried cut, as
Fitzhugh, by the Constitution Of the
State, cannot be reelected. and his term
# office will expire just about the time
Riddleberger' seat becomes vacant. So
if the Governor steps into the United
States Senate and Gusts into the Execu-
tive Mansion at Richmond, there will be
no interregnum of the Lees.
Few people in Virginia know that
there is fourth Lee who is ikelyto bob
up into politics. He is brother of the
Governor and lives very quiet farming
life down on the Potomac, in Stafford
County. He has never run for any Office,
nor has he ever taken part in any politi-
cal canvass. Now, it is said, he is to be
brought forward, partly as a means of
further lonoring the Lee family and
partly to punish State Senator ". E.
Meredith, Of Prince William. Meredith,
it will be remembered, was General Lees
most bitter opponent in the Congress
sional Convention, and his course came
very near defeating the General. Now
the Lee men propose to have the Gov.
ernor's brother nominated III place of
Meredith for State Senator in the Alex
andria district next year, and thus &C
complish double purpose.
If political conditions do not change
soon, the whole programme for the ele-
vation of the Lees can be carried out.
The Governor can go to the Senate; Gus
It's can take ris place; Runy can stay in
the House, and the obscure Stafford
brother can so to the State Senate. The
only persons who object to this arrange
ment are the workingmen Of the State,
who do not take well to the old families.

The accident was caused by some

Free Trade Logic.

The Free Traders have come and
gone at Chicago, and, like the doc
tors with malaria, all the ills OF the
body polite are. ascribed to protec-
ton We are not going into discus
sion, but when they claim that 1000,
900 people are out of work in this
country from overproduction how is
that ], 000,0 600 to find relief by inn
porting more of thr same kind Of
goods by opening our ports to them7
We may be dull, or the rule of sim
pie addition may be at fault, but
that is the way it looks to us. Now,
if, somebody like David A. Wells, or
Frank Hurd had got up and said :
"rhere are 100000 men in America
out of work simply because there are
more goods on the market than oan
be consumed, therefore we demand
that our ports be closed to all foreign
goods until this surplus has been
used up and our own people set to
work, we could understand what
was meant. But to say these peo-
pie are out Of work aud the way to
get them employed is TO open the
country to more supplies is beyond
our mathematics.
1t may be Free Trade logic, but it
isn't sense.
