BLAINE'S ORATION.

Mr. Blaine's oration on Garfield, delivered in the capitolat Washington, on Monday, has been spoken of interns of universal commendation. As a liter ary production it will rank with the finest efforts of a similar kind in any age, and while not fnlsomely laudatory, it is a fair and candid estimate of the great abilities of the illustrious dead. Perhaps the most interesting passages are those which throw some inside light on the President's difficulty with the New York Senators, and indicate certain plans and lines of policy which be would have car ried out had his life been spared. He was, Mr. Blaine tells us, exceedingly anxious to visit the South and address the people of that section, and was looking forward with pleasurable anticipations to the Yorktown celebration and the Atlanta Exposition as occasions which would furnish him the desired opportunity. His picture of Garfield on the morning of July 2d, before the assassination, is one of touching beauty and power, and bis description of the patient suffering of the last hours, the removal from Washington to the sea-

Hide,

and his final sinking away in death, is one not surpassed in felicity of expression and lofty imagination in the literature of any time or nation. The address will bo a memorable one, both because of its intrinsic beauty and the occasion and circumstances which called it forth.

"THO8K who imagine that talent or genius can supply the place or achieve the results of labor, will find no encouragement in Garfield's life." So said Mr. Blaine last Monday. And in so saying be spoke the truth. A harder worker than was Mr. Garfield, all his life long, it would be difficult to find. And the lesson of his life in this respect, as well as in many others, it is important far all to learn and heed who desire success. There is no royal road to success/ It is work, hard work, constant work, even drudgery, which wins the real and valued priaes. Some men have a better capital on which to start—more brains, a greater capacity than others. But none have intellectual powers of such capacity that they can afford to disregard work. And oven with very moderate natural endowments, [work will accomplish wonders. Garfield, of all things else, was a worker.

"BLOOD will tell." Thero was no part of Mr. Blaine's oration of greater interest than the tracing of Garfield's ancestry. Annui with Puritan and Huguenot blood in his veins ought to succeed. "It was good stock on both sides—none better, none braver, none truer." And from such stock it is little wonder that such a man camo. And, by-the-by, there is an immense amount of this excellent stock scattered about in this country. The neighbors of old "Mother Garfield" and her husband on the .Western Prairio of fifty years ago, did not know what blood was coursing in the veins of these apparently commonplace peoplo. But it was there, nevertheless, and in due time this aspiring, restless, busy boy felt its throbs, and the old neighbors looked with wonder upon the rising prodigy Tlicy did not know that blood was tolling—that it was tho Puritan aud tho Uuguonot in tlie boy which wore pushing him on and tip. So are we unconscious of tho forces which are making men all about us. We cannot hear the voices of the boy's grand-parents and great-grand-parents calling him. He docs not himself know who is inspiring him—that it is his grandfather or grandmother who is shaking him when he wakes to a consciousness of what he can do and lie. Blessed is the man or woman who has these ancestors who will not lot their descendants rest till they have done something worthy of the blood in their veins.

GARFIELD'S pride of ancestry was an honest and worthy pride. It is a most contemptible spirit which goes mousing around among dead ancestors to find an bony which one has not pluck enough to win for himself. To have little worth of one's own and yet to be proud of ancestry, is about the silliest condition in which a human being can be. But when one is aspiring, and pushing and working, it is an honest and honorable pride which can say with Garfield "that in every war in which for three centuries patriots of English blood had struck sturdy blows for constitutional government and human liberty his family had been represented." "Garfield was proud of bis blood," says Mr. Blaine, and well might he be. And yet of all men in the land, least of all did he depend upon bloody (Knowledge of the blood in his veins inspired him. Too often this knowledge relaxes effort and fosters silly pride. And, by the by, is there such virtues in the veins of some of ns parents that our children and grandchildren will have no rest till they have done something worthy of a good ancestry?

THE CCNKLINO PILL. We cannot say that we relish the taste of it, and we are not quite disposed to swallow it as if it were a delicious politi-cal^-bit, or even as if it were palatable. It does not taste good, and we must be allowed to make awry face as we swallow it. Conkling knows enough to be Judge, even a member of the Supreme Court. We have no doubt that he will be perfectly just in his decisions. He is beyond suspicion so far as integrity is concerned. He is a learned, talented, and honest man. With all this in his favor it may seem as if it would not be a pill so very bitter as to call for awry face to swallow him as an Associate Juatice of the Supreme Court. But we cannot forget the fact that the man has behaved badly. He was driven into private life because he had behaved badly, and by the very political friends who had

by him through thick and thin, and the best sentiment of the country approved. While we entirely exonerate him from all direct and intentional responsibility for the death of the President, yet we cannot forget that but for his bad conduct it is probable, if not absolutely certain, that the foul murder would not have been committed. And we cannot forget or blink the fact that his appointment is given as a sort of compensation for the punishment which the people have inflicted upon him for this bad conduct. The people saig to him, "You have behaved so badly that we think it best for you to go into private life." And now the men who would not have been President but for the murder which come as the consequence of this behavior, says to him, "Never mind, for although the people say that you sbpll not serve them in the Senate I will put you on the Supreme Bench." Much as we have come to admire President Arthur, and confident as we are of his integrity that he is destined to make a most excellent ehief magistrate, yet we do not, and cannot like this action. We know that Arthur would never have been Vice President but for Conkling. We admire gratitude, and believe it not just to expect Mr. Arthur to break friendship with his benefactor, especially when Mr. Conkling has so many qualities which bind friends to him. But to make this gratitude and friendship an excuse for soothing the wound which an outraged and disgusted people infiieted upon a servant who, as they thought, nobly deserved it, this is carrying friend ship and gratitude too far. Places on the Supreme Bench ought not to be used as poultices for wounds received in politi cal warfare—especially when the wounds are inflicted at the dictates of an almost universal public sentiment. Having made our wry face, we swallow the pill

TREATING AND INTEMPERANCE. In a very thoughtful and suggestive article, a writer in the Cincinuati Gazette makes an elaborate arraignment of the ciistom of treating, to which he attributes a large share of the sins of intemperance. The effect of the custom is to oblige men to drink more than they otherwise would, and at all sorts of unseasonable hours.

A party enter a saloon and one buys the drinks. "The rest do not feel easy under such payment by one for their entertainment, and so another orders drinks all round. By that time all have drank more than*they should, and more than any but steady topors can without getting well on the road to inebriation." So, where but two drink the other feels that he is expected to return the treat, and if he does not do so on the spot, he takes tho first opportunityof making payment in kind, and so drinks when he ought not and would not but for this pernicious custom.

After observing that simple wine may be taken at dinner moderately, or a drink of spirits in the evening when the work is done, perhaps, without harmful effects, the writer adds: "But he who allows himself to be treated can have no hours when he is exempt from receiving and paying. Thus he is forced to be a regular drinker, and forced upon the high road to the drunkard's end."

There is certainly much force in these suggestions. But if drinking is to be done at all, can it be divorced from treating, and if so, how It appears that the problem has already been solved. In England, says the writer, treating is not practiced among people who meet as equals. Each orders and pays for what he wants, and is under no coercion to drink. The respectable Englishman would think it the same affront for another to pay for his drink as to pay for his clothes or board. The only treating in England is to inferiors, by giving them drink, or money, or by ordering the tavern to supply them."

This is at least sensible if, to an American, it does not savor of unsociability. And perhaps, were we accustomed to it, the practice would not be open to this objection. Certain it is that if the pay-for-your-own-drink, and drink-wheu-you-please system would trad to diminish the evils of intemperance—and that it would there is scarcely room for doubt—it should beoonre popular, at whatever sacrifice of apparent good-fel-lowship.

The Gaxette suggests that an easy way of introducing the reform would be for th»? various clubs of the city to eschew the practice of treating and hold rigidly to it, from whence it would extend to other quarters.

The subject is worthy of consideration everywhere, as it contains the kernel of a practical, if only partial, temperance reform.

THE phrase "taking up" a prisoner, originally referred to a local usage when persons arrested were conveyed up to the prison wfeleb was situated on a hill.

OSCAR WILDE conceives it to be bis mission to come to America to teach the people of this country that in order to have their workmen do fix work they must-surround them with noble and inspiring objects. Doubtless grand surroundings are well enough in theirway, but it occurs to most Americans that a comfortable home, and meat for the family at least once a day, have mor.3 inspiration for the average workingman than stately buildings, statues and works of art in which he has no personal interest. There was a great deal of this sort of grandeur and beauty in ancient Greece but it has not been supposed that the working classes of that age and country were especially happy. There is doubtless more of it in England and other countries of the old world than there is here, but from present advices American workingmen are not eager to shift places with their brethren across the sea. From which it may be drawn that there are conditions that are better for the workmen than nobility of surroundings viz: something of the comfort and beauty in his own home and for his own wife and chldren which it is the mission of sesthetieism to stimulate the general and abstract production of. Of course this is not an oesthetical view of the subject but it is possibly an average American view of it, which is to view things from a practical rather than abstract standpoint.

IT is not often that the complaint that the schools of a given profession are turning out too many graduates cornea from- the faculties of the schools themselves but at the recent graduating exercises of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, at Indianapolis, Dr. Dayton, speaking for the faculty, took occasion to say that the medieal profession was overcrowded and that there were too many schools educating young men for doctors. The number of medical schools in the United States has almost doubled since 1870. Then there were 6if,000 doctors and the colleges have added 25,000 in ten years. The five schools of Indianapolis, eight of Chicago and those in other cities graduate more than 1,000 doctors within a radius of 200 miles. The American people, said Dn. Dayton, are the most doctored people on earth. There is one doctor in the United States to 600 people Canada has one to 1,200 England one to 1,700 France one 1,800, and Germany one to 3,000. Indiana has over 4,000, or one to less than 500 of population. This overproduction inevitably results in deteriorating the quality and in stimulating illegitimate methods of obtaining business. Prob ably, were the statistics examined, a similar condition of overcrowding would be found to exist in professional life generally in this country. If so, it is inexcusable in a land so rich in all material resources as ours aud offering such unparalleled inducements to business enterprise.

IN a keen and caustic editorial, the Chicago Tribune charges that President Arthur is making it the chief end and aim of his administration to secure his own nomination in 1884. The scheme, so far as disclosed, the Tribune says, has been, first, to get all existing candidates out of the way. To do this, General Grant is to be put on the retired list and Senator Conkling on the Supreme bench. The South American business has been brought out to injure Blaine, and an effort was made to disable ex-Secretary Sherman by certain developments in the Treasury Department. Part second of .the play is to use all the patronage of the Government hi the President's favor. The principal sources of this patronage are the postoffice and treasury departments, and of these, Frank Hatton in the first, and John C. New in the second,—faithful friends of Mr. Arthur,— are expected to see that a strong force of "workers" are gradually brought in who can be used at the proper time to secure the desired end. Whether these specific charges are true or not in Mr. Arthur's case, it has been the rule heretofore for vice presidents who have succeeded to the chief office to immediately begin scheming for their nomination for a second term, but with poor success. Whether President Arthur, if such be his purpose, shall succeed better, remains for the future to determine.

WE breathe easier now. Astronomer Young, of Princeton, argues that there is no ground for Astronomer Proctor's prediction that the world will be burnt up by the dropping of a comet into the sun, in 1897. He is of the opinion that even should the comet of 1668 conclude to fall into the sun, it would only create a little extra warmth for three or fonr days, and of course we could stand it to be a little uncomfortable for that length of time. Mr. Proctor's comet business won't scare worth a cent anymore. People have got too familiar with oomets to have any confidence in their abilities in these days. If anybody wants to reform morals now by bringing people into close quarters with the judgment day, he had better select some more reliable medium than a comet.

IT is an old and common saying "as rich as a Jew." The Jewish Messenger complains that the saying, if it ever bad an honest meaning, is. at present misleading. It says: "The wealth of Jews in New York is greatly overestimated. The vast majority are in moderate circumstances, a few only are millionaires, and many thousands are actually dependent on the charity of their more fortunate brethren." In foreign countries the prosecutions and vicious treatment of the Jews have in all the years caused the Jewish people to keep their wealth in money and securities which were easily moved.. It has been asserted, too that the intention and hope of at some time occupying the ancient kingdom, and rebuilding it into more than its former magnificence, have been kept constantly in the Jewish mind. It is possible this is true. But the kind treatment of the Jewish people by America, added to other causes, has produced great changes within the last few years. In every city Jews are large property owners they build fine synagogues, and endow with generous hands hospitals, and give every indication of peri&raent citizenship. They are not usually, as the Messenger says, "rich," but they are sober, industrious, frugal, and attentive to business, and as a result are usually in good circnmstanoes. It should at all times be remembered, to the credit of the Jew, that he is not seen loafing about the whisky shop, he is not often picked out of the gutter, and he seldom figures on the slate of the police courts charged with crime. These things should be set down to the credit of Jewish people. Their care also for their poor and sick'and destitute countrymen is not only worthy of special mention, but could well be imitated by all classes and sects. In addition to all this, the kind treatment of America, so different from that of other nations, has particularly attracted the Jews, and it is doubtful whether any class loves American institutions better, or would uphold them more manfully in any contest where they were assailed.

SINCE the first of January last it is reported that there have been 1,800 conversions in the Methodist ehurehes of Cincinnati and its suburbs. Much of this is due to the work of the revivalist, Harrison, although extensive revivals are reported in various sections of the country. "From whatever standpoint one may view the phenomenon," says the Gazette, "it is very evident that a decided reaction is taking place from the free-and-easy ways which were the result of four years of war and eight years of inflation and speculation which followed the great rebellion." Perhaps it may be said that the present activity in religious matters indicates the swing of the pendulum in an opposite direction from the sesthetic and materialistic tendencies of recent years.

O'DONOVAN ROSSA, the Irish dynamite patriot, is giving out that several English vessels recently lost, went to the sea's bottom through the agency of infernal machines stored away in their holds and professes to be indignant at his countrymen for not making a more liberal use of this effective method of warfare. If Mr. Rossa is not lying—as he probably is—a small charge of dynamite applied beneath his coat tails would be an admirable specific for his malady.

THE claims of Florence, the actor, for the English mission are teing vigorously pressed by his. friends. It has been quite the fashion to appoint literary men to the diplomatic service and it is urged that the dramatic guild ought to be recognized as well as that of authorships. That the Hon. Bard well Slote ivould make a competent and creditable minister there can be little doubt and there would be no hullaballou raised should he be appointed.

Henry Waters of Youngstown, Ohio, believed fn ghost, and bad a peculiar dread of them. His weakness was]

known to his acquaintances, some of whom planned a practical joke at his expense. They managed to draw the bullets from the revolver which he kept under his pillow, and then, in the night he awoke to see a white-robed figure standing at the foot of his bod. Although dreadfully frightened he suspected that it was a joker. Drawing his weapon, he took aim and said: "I shall fire when I count three. One—two three." The intruder made no response, and Waters pulled the trigger. No impression was made, of course, and five more shots were fired. The mock ghost laughed hoarsely, and threw six bullets on the bed, as though he had superaaturally caught them. Waters shrieked in terror. Then the ghost threw off his disguise, and the other merrymakers burst into the room to laugh'at their victim. But he still gazed fixedly. The shock had made him insane. Three weeks have elapsed without A restoration of his reason, and it is •ot expected that te will ever recover.

WOMEN IN THE DEPARTMENTS.

A BAD PLACE FOR THEM-THE PITIFUL SCENES ATTENDING WHOLESALE DISCHARGES.

TEMPTATIONS TO WHICH THE CLERKS ARB EXPOSED.

Washington letter

to

Few readers will appreciate the situation of these departmental women suddenly deprived of place. In other walks of life one drops out here and there and is not noticed. A shop girl discharged

goes

to another shop. Here are several undred women thrown out at once without warning. There is no other shop to

§tates,

to. Most of them are from distant are widows. and orphans, and heads of families. Some of them have been long in office, one place or another, and have lived frugal lives and are well-to-do. The great majority of them are living frojp hand to mouth, either from necessity or choice. As a rule they are honest, Intelligent, and virtuous. It in a terrible thing to one of these unfortunate dependents to lose her place. There are nearly four hundred of them marked for dismissal Monday, in the Census Bureau alone.

While the reader is taking in this article there will be some three hundred of these lour hundred clustering around the doorways of the Census Bureau, crying about the halls, and sobbing over their empty desks—theirs no longer— and besieging and beseeching congressmen all over the city for their influence. There will be many poor girls in straightened circumstances, who have been honest and virtuous all their lives, who will, probably for the first time, calmly contemplate the contingency of shame—who will even make voluntary overtures to those whom they believe allpowerful to aid them. There will be many who will boldly face the world in the renewed fight for bread, who would die before they would ever tbinkof such a thing. Ana there will be a flock of male harpies crowding about the more desperate women of this throng, to catch them in their hour of desperation, and bear them away to a life of gilded sin. It is almost too sickening to contemplate. But it is a sight that Washington often witnesses so often that we have grown calloused i%jid hard of heart. Wnile a clerk in the Treasury, several years ago, I saw many of tnese wholesale discharges. At one time there were GOO women driven out of the Treasury in one day. It was a frantic mob. Women fainted in the halls, and tore their hair, and cursed their superiors, and wept in the streets about the building, as if the gigantic columns would pity them and restore them to their places. From all I have seen it is clear to me that the em ployment of women in the government offices is a great mistake. It is not only

fo

rejudicial

to the service, but harmful

the women themselves. It encourages all sorts of licentiousness. It provides the means to members of Congress of keeping their mistresses at government expense. It demoralizes both male and female employes. It is a standing disgrace to manhood and womanhood. It is a satire on our age of civilization.

It will not do to say that these conditions are not necessary. It is enough Co know that they are true. I can think of no worse fate for a young, handsome, intelligent woman, than to be sent to this place and be put in a government office. Where women have comfortable homes it is not much matter, but those who come from abroad come to face too many ups and downs and temptations for ordinary human nature to resist. "A detective who has been here for twenty years says the history of wrecked lives of those men and women, especially the latter, who have started out with a government office would shock even a policeman. He told me he knew a dozen cases and that there are plenty of them, where women were living shameful lives, whose respectable parents in the States believed they were fn government employment. A number of such CMOS have become publio. Among the most notorious of these is the case of Nellie Burrell, the mistress for several years of Captain Howgate. Her parents were given to understand that sne was here in office here all these years, and would have gone down to the grave in happy ignorance of an only daughter's shame but for the Howgate exposure. Her parents were almost crazed with grief, and used every means in their power to reclaim her, but it was too late. My friend, the detective, declared that he bad acted in a dozen such cases as a medium for the suspicious relatives and friends ot such women. They had all started out alike in government office, got used to big salaries, easy work, and good living, and when discharged, as they all are sooner or later, could not leave the fascinating atmosphere of Washington. I have been appealed to very often, ia my fifteen years at the national capital to aid in securing places for women but since I have seen how it works, I have invariably answered that the applicant bad better ao anything that was honest before coming here alone. I want to repeat that here. And I want to extend the same remonstrance and advice to every young man. Of course, they wont take it. I don't expect that but I feel some satisfaction of oonscience in warning people against danger of any kind, even if they break their necks the next minute. *HB. t* '•smti 4".
