1t is peraps significant that the
larger part of the senatorial criticism
of DR.. Garfield's fuel fast came from
the Democratic side of the chamber.
and much of it from men who have
hitherto held steadfast to the theory
that "the king can do no wrong" 1t
is beginning to seep through the con-
sciousness of public men and of the
public generally that some, if not
most of the presidents subordinates
are not big enough for their jobs. 1t
may be that none of them will furnish
so signal a demonstration of this fact
as Garfield has, but the old Latin pro-
verb has its application: EX UNO
