Guiteau can congratulate himself that he died before the doctors began to work on him. This is the unkindest cut of all.

Now that the McKcen Cadets havo come homo with the honors tho citizens of Terro Haute can sleep peacefully at night.

"Where is the man who put his ear to the ground about two weeks ago and said ho heard that Congross would adjourn on the loth of July?

Judge Jere Black thinks it will bo Hancock on one side andBlaino on the other in 18S4. In that case Mr. Blaine might go ahead and pick out his Cabinet beforo ho 'goes away for the summer.

Wo had an interpreter engaged at heavy expense last night to reduce the medical autopsy about Guiteau to English. It is painful to state that he fell at the first hurdle, and wo are still groping madly and vainly for the facts.

The Indianapolis papers went out of their way to ignore the winning McKeen Cadets at the Stato jlrill. This is not to be wondered at. Indianapolis never had a company that could manage the manuel with broom sticks without encountering tho wrath of an indignant populace, and jealousy, like hope, springs eternal in tho human breast.

Last week High Priest Taylor, of tho Mormon Church, broko loose like a mad bull while preaching to tho Mormon Saints, defying tho Government and swearing that tlio Mormons must carry on their "mission." George Q. Cannon also addressed the Saints and declared that ho and they must cling to polygamy "in spite of any human enactment that may be unjustly framed to deprive us of it." This looks very much like robeillon, but Cannon and Taylor seem to bo awaro that they can do as they please under a Republican Administration.

For cheek all wool and a yard wide this comes in for first money. Was Cannon's right to his seat ever questioned till the liepublicans got control of tho House and Calkins began his warfare? And who is tho father of tho Utah Commission bill but Senator Edmunds, of Vermont? This is a fair sample of "powerful" Democratic reform"

Tho Boston Traveller is correct in saying that it is an unwritten law, well understood in journalism, that no editor is under the slightest obligation to give a reason for his acceptance or non-acceptance of a manuscript. He is not called upon to write a private critique on the article to the authof of it. His acceptance or rejection is an absolute and unquestionable fact. Among amateur writers this does not seem to be understood. All sub-editors and reporters understand that it is an unjustifiable impertinence to ask the managing editor his reason for publishing or not publishing any matter submitted to his judgment. Outside writers and aspiring amateurs rarely seem to comprehend this truth, and their transgressions are largely from ignorance rather than inattention. The nature of editorial work requires absolute power of decision in order to preserve the unities of the journal the editor conducts.

?&•-. THE MIGHTY FALLEN. 'Yesterday," says the London Stand" ard of June 19th, "was the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, and this particular anniversary is specially interesting from the fact that the 18th of June this year falls upon a Sunday as it did 67 years ago." The occasion is one that always thrills the British heart with a feeling of patriotic pride, and it was but natural that such an anniversary should lead the Standard to contrast the England of that day with the England of 1882. The conclusions drawn by that eminent and able Tory organ are as follows: v: "In June, 1815, all Europo, was looking to England for assistance. In June, 1882, England is looking for assistance to all Europe. In June, 1815, not the greatest Power in the world dared have ventured the slightest insult to the British flag, or, had any Power been mod enough to offer one, without Instant reparation being exaeted. In June, 1882, we see ihe British seamen murdered within gunshot of the British fleet, and their bodies buried out at sea "for prudential reasons," without anything being done to show that we are sensible of the injury! Would the England of 1815 have borne for one moment what the England of 1882 seems expected to endure with resignation? If not, why not? We decline to echo the cuckoo cry that England's power Is on the wane, or that tho English race has lost Its ancient self-respect. Yet there must bo something to account for the difference between our position in Europe at the present day and what It was sixty years ago. Tho explanation seems to be that In their anxiety to avoid one extreme, the Liberal

Party In this country have run Into the othor that In their eagerness to avoid quarrels they have taken the surest way of provoking tliem, by oncouraging, the belief that we have lost the courage either to protect our own Interests or vindicate our own honor. Whatever may havo been the motives, tho result has been disastrous, and may well make Englishmen look back with regret to the days of Grenvllle and Castlereagh, to what Mr, Matthew Arnold so well calls "tho calm pride of aristocracy," which brought us with safety through the severest and most prolonged trial which this country has ever known, and gavo !us after the Battlo of Waterloo a leading voice in the Councils of Europo.

It is hard to say whether this melancholy refrain springs as sincerely from a sense of England's depreciated glory as it does from a wish to emphasize the opposition to Gladstone's policy that now pervades the tory ranks. But let the motive go. The words will remain to prove an honest confession of tho plain facts of history, and will lead tho reflective ntind into a fruitful channel of thought. When the English army marched out of Brussels to the field, of Quatre Bras after that famous ball which Byron has immortal izod among entertainments of the kind, thoy did so in the firm faith that Englishmen were a match for three times their number of Frenchmen, and the world was disposed to think the same. To-day tho fact is quite as generally disputed and disbelieved and the Standard will be followed with interest when it paints the comparison thus:

"It Is not with unmlngled satisfaction that Englishmen can look back to the events of June, 1815, and compare them with what Is happening in tho present day. At the closo of tho Peninsular war, in 1S14, England was In many respects the first Power In Europe. Slio was undisputed mistress of tho sea, and lier supremacy on that element had come to bo an articlo of faith with Continental Europe which It was usoless to question or discuss. By her oxortlons In tho Peninsula she had established her title to bo con sldered a great military nation as well: not, Indeed, by reason of tho magnltudo of her armies, b«t by tho high military qualities which the struggle had evokeo, and by the fact that the second General In Europe, if not actually tho first, was an Englishman. The English Infantry had succeeded to the reputation once enjoyed by the Spanish they woro held by those who knew them well to bo practically invincible, and it was no Idle boast of the Duke of 'Wellington that with the army which won the battlo of Vlttorla he could havo marched anywhere. Nor was the moral greatness to which England had thon risen inferior to the military and naval renown which she had acquired by lier arms, Tho fortitude, Intrepidity,and sclf-confldence with which sho had faced a hostile continent, and tho scornful magnanimity with which, when tho victory was achieved, sho left It to others to quarrel over tho spoils wanting nothing for herself, and only anxious that Europo should be free, these facts combined to giro her a moral superiority over tho other Powers which they all tacitly acknowledged. Even the Battle of Waterloo could add llttlo to the position she had gainod, but it showed that with inferior troops lo those which had beaten all Napoleon's Marshals, the Duke of Wei l!n -ton could beat Napoleon himself, and hu:i gavo tho finishing stroke to the cdillco oi England's glory. It Is truo, and we may console ourselvos with the reflection, that if we no longer occupy so splendid a position in the eyes of Europe as we did in 1815, it Is bocauso that position'was owing to a combination of circumstances which Is necessarily of raro occurrence, and because by our own resistance we had shown how dangorous a gamo is tho pursuit of Universal Empire."

It would be well if the Tories, in gazing regretfully upon the decline of English prestige, should try to solve tho riddle by looking deeper into the practical workings of Mr. Arnold's "calm pride of aristocracy," which makes the English titled classes swell with a self-importance that is slowly undermining that once broad and national spirit that nerved the British armies when they put the girdle of her supremacy around the world. If not, indeed, the chief cause of England's decline, while republicanism is planting its roots on the Continent, and independence of thought and enmity of princes is pervading every class of European society, it certainly contributes largely to British decline, and threatens to destroy the Briton's faith and pride in his national life. Those immense land grants to nobility that have always numbed and curbed the honest aspirations of the agricultural classes, are beginning to kill the personal devotion of Englishmen to their government, when each year they see the burden of taxes increased by heavier Parliamentary grants to the Crown to sustain the luxury of a royal establishment, and when, in addition to being compromised by failing harvests, they see that tho mistaken policy of Free Trade allows the cereals of iVmerica to pass unchallenged through the open ports of the Empire.

The statesmanship that forced the beneficent Corn Laws on the aristocracy of England under the broad lead­

ership of Cobden and Bright has so far lost its prestige that the beneficent results of that legislation have been neutralized by the anarchy and unproductiveness of Ireland ~.t~~

Deplorable as thia condition of things appears, it is even more fortunate than the condition of England's mechanic. Inventions have so multiplied in the past quarter of a century that English economists admit the fact that America, with a higher scale of wages, can compete successfully with British products in the markets of the world Thus exposed to deadly rivalry, and unprotected by the barricade of a 0rifF, where is the statesmanship in expecting .him to stand upon the ruins of his industry, and view, with a thrill of pride, the piracy of England's acres by a favored few, and the robbery of her exchequer by subsidies «o the Crown, and by tlia millions annually required for the huge military establishments that figure in that "dangerous game of universal Empire?" Will the near future disclose England losing her grip on colonial luxuries irt order to preserve her home base from dissolution Or shall we see the aristocracy of the Empire driven, as were the Roman Emperors in the earlier days of her decline, to the policy of lulling the multitudes into forgetfuln'ess of their lost prestige and liberty by lavish popular games?

There is no sense in supposing that the British soldier ef to-day would be less valiant in battle than when ho charged at Waterloo, or stormed the native ramparts of India with such masterly and xinfiinching courage. In discipline and endurance he is still the most invincible soldier on earth against the odds of number and posi tion.. Should another Napoleon arise to menace the peace of Europe, we should, perhapB still find tho British red coat true to the glamour and inapt ration of war that bring out his national heroism in bold historic relief. The British regular, who makes fighting a business will not quail but the British volunteer, who leaves behind him silent looms, mortgaged acros, decayed industries, and sees an uncertain destiny in the future, will need more than the old battle-cry of "England and St, George" to carry him in triumph over the enemy's walls.

V00EHESS' BOOMERANG.

The Democratic politicians were vociferous, a little while ago, in charg ing that Republican administrations had shown animosity to ex-Union sol diers in depriving them of offices to which they were entitled. They reiterated the accusation so frequently that it is at least charitable to suppose that some of them actually came to believe it. At all events they evidently hoped that the soldiers themselves would be unable to detect their imposture, and, consequently many of them were ready to swear, and some of them actually did swear, that the Demo crats were the only true friends the soldiers had 1

It was in response to this clamor that, in March last, Senator Voorliees introduced a resolution in the Stnate instructing the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire whether the law was still in force that gives preference in appointments to civil offices of persons honorably discharged from the service by reason of wounds or sickness incurred in the line of duty whether the same, if in force, had been faithfully executed, or had been "openly and habitually disregarded and violated and whether, in order to protect the ex-Union soldiers against injustice, additional legislation was not necessary to carry out and enforce the law in the various departments.

No Republican Senator opposed the passage of the resolution, but its con sideration led to a few words of con versation during which Mr. Voorliees, referring to the law, said: "Considering the practice of this Government and the various departments, I thought perhaps this law was one that had crept in and was disregarded because it was not binding, thought that was possible, because it has been openly and habitually disregarded, as everybody knows."

Tho Military Committee having thoroughly investigated this direct charge of official delinquency against all the Departments of the Govern ment, made their report, a few days ago, through Senator Harrison. They show that the charge is entirely without foundation but, on tho contrary, that the existence of the" law is fully recognized and executed according to its letter and spirit. In the Treasury Department 52 per cent, of all the appointments made since 1877 have been given to those who rendered service in the Union army, or to their wives and children—that is, 803 out of 1,548 appointments. In the War Department, out of 955 male employes appointed since tho war, 602, or more than 63 per cent, have served in tho Army or Navy, and 137, or more than 22 per cent., were discharged for disability arising from wounds or sickness in the line of duty. In the Interior Department, 457 of the whole force, or more than 34 per eent. served in the army or navy, and of the female force 128, or more than S6 per cent, are the widows, orphans, wives, or daughters of Union 6oldiers and sailors. In the Post Office Department, of 388 male employes, 13S, or nearly 36 per cent, are ex-sol-diers and sailors. In the Navy Department, out of 208 male employes, 72, or a little more than 34} per cent, have served in tho Union army or navy. In the State Department, out of less than 80 clerks, 25 per cent, are discharged Union soldiers, and in the Diplomatic and Consular service 40 per cent. of. the whole are discharged Union soldiers, and at least ono-lialf of v- these were discharged for disability.

It does not often happen that a serious accusation like that made by Mr. Voorhees is found to be completely baseless. There is nothing whatever upon which it can rest. It is evident

that he has been misled by some of that innumerable swarm who infest the city of Washington arid work themselves into desperation by brooding over the idea that the Government will topple over- unless their services are engaged.

The committee~considered that its duty also required an investigation into the manner in which the law in favor of ex-Union soldiers had been administered by the Senate and thtise of its officers who have dispensed its patronage, under Democratic control. This looks like "carrying the war into Africa," but as Africa made the war, it cannot complain. It will sometimes happen that schemes, apparently well contrived, will, in in the end, develop results which return to torment their inventors.

Their report shows that there are twenty-seven employes in the office of the Secretary of the Senate, and that of these, six served in the Union army and seven in the Confederate army. They say that about fourteen per cent served in the Union army and navy, while over twenty-two per cent, served in the Confederate army! It also shows that there are 107 employed by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, who is Hon. R. J. Bright, one of the leading Democrats of Indiana. Of those, seventeen, or about sixteen per cent., have served in the Union army, and sixteen, or about fifteen per cent., in the Confederate army. Of the present employes in Ins office, thirty were appointed by Mr. Briglit's prede'cesBor and 107 by him. Of the 30 appointed before he became Sergeant-at-Arms eight are Union soldiers, while of the remaining seventy-seven (new appointments made by Mr. Bright) only nine'or less than 12 per cent, are Union soldiers. "In other words," say the committee, "nine Union sol diers and fourteen Confederate soldiers have been appointed" by Mr, Bright, And summing up the result they show that tho average per cent, of Union soldiers and sailors employed in the Government departments under Republican administration, is 40 per cent while the average in the Senate offices, under Democratic administration, 15 per cent!

We would like to know, after this exposure, what claim Democratic politicians have to sincerity when they pretend that they are the only true friends upon whom ex-Union soldiers can safely rely. The facts show that notwithstanding the positive commands of the law, they give Confederate soldiers the preference, or, at all events, make no distinction between the two classes. The law, of the violation of which Mr. Voorhees causelessly complained, requires that Union sol diers and sailors "shall be preferred for appointments to civil offices," and yet a Democratic Ser-geant-at-arms to the Senate—and an Indiana Democrat at that—has ap pointed fourteen Confederate and only nine Union soldiers out of seventy seven employes! How do ex-Union soldiers like this From which party the Republican or the Democratic— aro they to expect a recognition of their patriotic services in the cause of the Union? Is there one of them who does not see, from the facts here ex posed, that the Democratic professions are all false and insinccre, while the Republican party, which passed the present law for their benefit, has hon estly and faithfully administered it!

This is the way the Rockville Repub lican puts it: Here Is a prize problom—Justa llttlo one for a cent. The majority for prohibition in Iowa was 10,000 loss than tho regular Republican majority if it gets 10,000less than tho regular Republican majority in Indiana, what will Its majority in Indiana be?

This may be set down as a palpable hit, but we would like to be sure that Brother Beadle's figure machine had not slipped one of its belts

Campaign Warning.

"Dead-drunk" is described by savants of tlio Paris Biographical Society to be a condition in which there Is a proportion of one part of alcohol to 195 parts of blood in the circulation. Should tho proportion ever come to be one part of alcohol to 100 of blood death would ensue. Democratic campaign committees should not let this Item escape them.

The Democratio Party.

Danville (Ky.) Tribune. Tho Democratic party is all tore up In Its mind. It has thoroughly lost sight of every principle of the honest fathers.

Grecncastle Times. The Terre Haute Express comes to us with a new, clear, plain, sensible and beautiful head. Altogether, it is ono of the neatest and best papers in the State. It has been improved and enlarged, and we welcome the Express to our table every day. The people of Terre Haute ought to give it such a reception as will make Its editors and publishers say in the language of Methodist church members In a real scriptural class meeting, "Its good to bo here."

John Tyler's Son.

Chicago Tribune. son of the lata President Tyler was recently arrested in Washington for drunkenness.

Ono who has not seen him accept an invitation to take a drink, tmd the air with which ho will take It, has neverseen a true Virginia gentleman of the real old style." If tills Is the case, true Virginia gentlemen of the real old style must have been mainly ongaged In the exciting but somewhat unliealthful pursuit of removing imaginary snake* from their boots.

Professional life is always a rich mine for mousing writers, and the legal profession is not less rich than others in this respect.

Essays from the Critic, a collection of short articles reprinted from that Journal, from the pens of Burroughs, Stedman, Whitman, Stoddard, Gosse and others, are published in a small, tasteful volume by James R. Osgood & Co. Contributions to periodical literature,* often hastily written, and of necessity brief, can seldom stand the severe test of leisure examination in a volume, but all these papers are readable, and some of them have permanent value. The selection has evidently been made with Judgment, and as some numbers of the Critic are already out of print, this collection rescues tho essays from oblivion. If the volume proves sufficiently successful, it doubtless will be followed by others, In which, perhaps, the articles will be mere rounded and complete, and less resembling newspaper work.

A collection of rare Freneh books which of Its kind was probably unrivaled has been sold recently in Paris. They had belonged to M. Rochebllllere, the assistant keeper of the St. Genevieve Library, who had tho pre-eminence among bibliophiles that he read his books and made real practical use of them. His Pascals, Molleres, Corneilles, Bossuctts, and JLafontalnes formed probably the most perfect collection of those authors that has ever been made by a private individual. In a memoir of him, prefaced to the catalogue, It is stated touchingly how he would hunt for books along the quays, carry them home in triumph, and spend eager hours in pursuit of strange errata or misprints that bv.fore |had been unnoticed. "For him," says the writer, "to discover a MoHere of 1682 with the scene du Pauvre In Its entirety, to collate anew acquisition line by line, and word by word, was the greatest of delights and tho most perfect type of bliss. Like most brother bibliophiles, he did not much like to lend his books but he overcame his natural repugnance, when the borrower was some serious Inquirer, like Taschcrcau, or Monmerque, or Sainte-Bcuve, to all of whom he was of the greatest assistance."
