Why Grant was Not Present at Gar
fields Inauguration.

NTV'fn tIlFeS5ll lOr Inc W ssnlnE1rn
BY DIR. f. J. EDWARDS.
'All of the inauguration ceremonies
and all of the more private tributes as
ISOLATED with the inauguration of Gen.
Garfield as President In March. 1881.
were without any incident-with a sin
gle exception-whiCh caused Garfield any
feeling Of disappointment or regret,
said Garfields Postmaster General.
Thomas l.. James, to me at a time when
he was describing some of the incidents
which did not come to public knowledge.
The exception to which | refer was
due to the fact that Gen. Grant did not
visit Washington at the time of the
inaugural. There was some public no.
tice taken of the fact that although Gen.
Grant was in New fork at the time,
nevertheless he did not go to Washing
ton as many persons hoped he would
do. to share in the Inauguration cere-
monies or some of them.
Garfield felt especially friendly to-
ward Gen. Grant. for he knew well how
valuable was the service the cx-Presi-
dent had done him at the time when the
Presidential campaign had a somewhat
gloomy outlook.
1T was Gen. Grant who persuaded
Roscoe Conkling 10 make several
speeches in the campaign. and Grant
himself promised to deliver a speech at
Warren. Ohio. not far from Garfield S
home town. Garfield knew well how
much this meant to Gen. Grant. for.
aside from his written addresses deliv-
cred at his two inaugurals, Grant never
made any but the briefest public
speeches. He thought speaking of that
kind was way beyond mis- powers. But
in order to help Garfield he consented to
make a political address in Ohio. and
Warren was sci. cted as the point.
II know how greatly Gen. Garfield ap-
preciated that service. I know. too. that
Garfield was very anxious to have Grant
participate in the inauguration cere-
monies. That wish was communicated
to President Hayes. He promised to in
vite Gen. and Mrs. Grant to be his
guests at the White House a day or two
before the inauguration. and planned A
dinner on the eve of the Inauguration at
which. among others. Gen. Grant and
Gen. Gaa6eld were to be guests That.

to those Philadelphia suffraGists who laid seige to

taking from them something

States sitting at his other hand.
Cen. Grant. however, was compelled
to decline the invitation, and he caused
an informal and private communication
to be- made experimenting his formal
dcClination. in which he gave his reasons
for declining. He said he did not feel
as though he could stand the crowd, the
excitement and all of the whirl which
are associated with the Presidential
Inauguration. but he also said that II he
did not go to Mexico-as he was at that
time thinking of doing-he would take
an early opportunity to visit Washington
and to call upon President Garfield"

forth in the statement issued by the Department

statement, has not only had no thought of sur

it has never been asked by either Japan or China
to make any surrender of these rights There
is abatement OF its interest in the welfare
and progress Of China, and its sole interest in
the present negotiations is that they NAV be CON-

contribute to the prosperity of both of these great

A member OF the Industrial Relations Commits
SION says that if Gov. Johnson OF California is
nominated for President the Progressive ticket
in 1910 he will get the entire Progressive and
most OF the independent vote Of the West The
commissioner probably figures that that will do the
Democratic party good than it will Gov.
Johnson. and in that respect the information is
more interesting than usually cmanates from any
source identified with the Industrial Relations
Commission.

the truth is pretty high impulse Most OF us
can't keep it in full vgor ali the time. One OF the
chief of lying. not only among young chill

ably, the habit of interference. It's easy to

Scraps are certainly very exhiliratns things
when they arc worth while. But most OF our
scraps are so petty. And the scraps that result
from interference likely to be the pettcst Of
all Besides, scraps take up so much time. People
who love scraps. like Waller, have idea that
scraps help us to get at the truth; but they really
distract our minds from the truth. In the excite
ment of scrapping most OF us forget what we arc
scrapping about. We think only about scrap
ping And then there is the opposite of scrap
ping which is so pleasant that its amazing find
how little attention is paid to it. Its the very foe
of interference It's the spirit that makes man
think, not merely OF his opinions and OF inn
posing them upon others and making them a
means of interference, but OF the opinions Of
Others 1t makes the wish to help others
express their opinions"
That's the best way OF making your own
opinions felt" said Burton with a laugh, the
most effective way OF exerting your own infu-
ence
Emerson's face frightened. "Ah, that quiet
cousin of yours taught you that bit Of truth. It's
the people who arc most conslderate of the opn.
ions and the rights OF others who always stand
of the world. They are the sustainers First, they
dffuse peace around them and in that peace their
influence radiates like sunshine. They don't have
to assert their influence. People go to them, ex-
consoed and inspired
so then, according to your notion" said Wal
Ter, the best way to interfere in the world is
never to Interfere
"Exactly!" said Emerson.
"Wcll I want to tell you one thing, said Wal
Ter feeling that the time had comc for him to
assert himself, you can't stop interfering People
are born interfcrers or they are not born inter-
fercrs. The more you try to stop interferers the
worse they grow
Emerson seemed delighted. you have touched
on a fine point" Waller. 'iou can't stop them
by force or anything of the kind.
Burton looked inquistive. 1t was evident that
he was wondering whether Emerson was going
to follow his own line Of thought.
There is only way Of helping them"
Emerson went on land that is by agreeing with
them as far as one can, by giving them plenty Of
room, by letting them just where their in
reference leads And then of course, there is
the influence of example. Consider the silence
that we spoke of few moments ago. Haven't
you ever noticed when group of people are
talking excitedy, in high voices it is the person
with the low, quiet voice who finally commands
the attention. WE'LL the veteran inter
ferers may be softened with passivity What they
thrive on as Waller says. is resistance. Besides.
it often strikes that the interfering habit is
not thing to be resented. There is a great deal
of virtue in it. There is always the illusion on
goodness which causes much misery in the
world So why not love the good and look on
its misuse with tender sympathy?'
