By J. n. EDGE TON.

path to the pres
idency is a long
ascent.

"O the poor boy looking for an in
spring example the career OF
James A. Garfield furnishes an
ideal and an incentive. From
the towpath to the presidency is long
ascent He had no, outward helps
in making that climb, but rose only
through the strength of his own char
acter Not only did he rise himself, but
he formulated a gospel of. success and
gave it to the world He was not. with
out the qualities that appeal to the in
tellect. but he was supreme. in the
qualities that appeal to the heart. Gen
erous and warm hearted, yet cool and
unimpassioned. strong without harsh
ness, self reliant without boorishness
righteous without phariseeism, reli-
gious without priggishness, witty with
out wounding others, possessing good
fellowship without letting himself down
to things ignoble or unworthy. Garfield
was great in his goodness. While pos
sessing much will power, he was not
rigid and by some was considered
weak. He did not overawe others and
force his way by sheer ability. but
rather drew men to him and won his
points by persuasive arts. His nature,
while rugged. was not rough, but was
mellowed by a great kindness. In his
presence men felt him to be greater
than the, things he did or said. There
was in his very atmosphere that indie

full soldier, a winning and eloquent
speaker. broad minded and efficient
legislator, he was far above mediocrity
in every field. Had he remained a sol
der to the end of the war he might
have been one of our greatest generals;
had his life been spared he might have
been one Of our most i1lustrious presi-

only speculate. But it was his great

werld rather than his especial accom-

the work was inartistic. it was con-
signed by the indignant donors to the
inmost recesses of their warehouse.
But Aldermen Flick and Egan, who
represent that district in the council,
