tiou with which it is timely
to make a few remarks.
First The oi ly reason in
the meat majority of cases
.i .
for removing any republican i ". nmoneans
is because h- is a repnbi.ean. ! 'f lom i,V8l,,e!,t th"
Taking the rnuntrvthronhJPf L'" Wter ,e'r ,.,t,rHOI,"

and personally as reliablf i n
ofli e as th" democrats. The
objection to them in ofhVe i.
ha, they have certain vi
c i o u h political convictions
which li ey are sure to carry
our Wherever they can The
best of them will make the
greatest sacrifves to carry
out those convictions, and
wherever they succeed they
always bring the country to
the verge of ruin.
A genuine republican be
lieve the earth belongs to
the w-ll-bred and the we!l-to-
o. lf ,,.,. not be'ievetbai
th- evjoi it v ot t hepcopleare
opable of self-government;
h" is firmly convinced that
they would ruin themselves if
they were released from len
ding strings; nd consequent
ly he wishes t i make himself
find his well-bred, well groom
ed friend, the guardisns of
the peopK with full power to
control them.
This is inherent in every re
publican. And hecanse of this no re
publican shonld be allowed
to hold any responsible office
from which it. is possible to
eject him.
When the duties of a posi
tion are merely mechanical;
where the person holding it
cannot possibly use the place
to increase the pernicious ef
fects of his views, the ques
tion of his efficiency or ineffi
ciency, of hia good or bad
conduct aside from his repub
licanism, may properly be
considered. But not other
wise. In every other case re
publicans should be turned
out of office simply because
they are republicans, holding
principles that are antago
nistic to thw rights and liber
ties of the people.
In this view of the case it
is ro personal disgrace for a
republican tc lose a Federal
office. No brand of personal
shame is put upon him. In
the eyes of rightthinkingpeo
le it is a shameful thing to
lie a republican, it is true, but
this can be overlooked he
cause in many ii; is n consti
tutional weakness which can
be v'ewed with the utmost
charity as long as they are
not in office.
No ood man -no gentle
manwould apply for office
if to do so lie were obliged to
try to blast the character of
nn incumbent to whom the

Ex-J'.fssdent Harrison's Salary.
Ex-President Harrison re
ceived his last monthly pay
in the (diape of a dmftfor
$ 1.1 00. i7, issued on a war
rant to the treasurer, signed,
as usual, by the secretary of
the treasury mid sent over
to ths White House by ames
-enger. March 3 he received
another draft for $110.0.", is
sued by the treasury depart
ment in the same way, repre
senting his pay for service as
president of the-U. S. for the
first t hree days of March and
closing his account with the
government.
Notwithstanding the fact
that he was president to noon
on the -1th of March. General
Harrison received no pay
whatever for hist services on
that day for th? reason that
the federal accounting offi
cers do not recognize divis
ions of a day in the settle
ment of accounts of salaries.
Each incumbent of the office
of president is paid the sala
ry of the office beginning with
the day of his inauguration,
so that he gains in thebegin
niug of his term what he los
es at the end.
This arrangement was fal
lowed at the previouschange
of administration, and at its
predecessjr, and is so fair
and reasonable that it is not
likely to be changed. Accor
ding t.) the treasury compu
tation, the presidential sala
ry of $.10,000 a year is at the
rate of ftl.'JS.OSS a day. Ex.
Coincide ure in Heath.
It is a singular fact that
three noted men have died
within a few weeks of each
other, whoso names are in
separably connected wit hone
of the most exciting episodes
in Congress, when J. Young
Brown was censured fcr hav
ing given tree rein to his
tongue in defining what he
conceived to ne Butlerism.
General Butler, in a charac
teristic speech denia uded t hat
Blown be punished. Mr. La
mar opposed the motion in
quite as vigorous a speech,
and Mr. Blaine, who was
then the speaker, was called
upon to administer the cen
sure, Abich he did in such a
low tone that nobody could
hear him, out of considera
tion for the feelings of thedis

Prof, (iray has been sev
en years employed in work
ing out this- pr julem.
Wnat is likely to be the
commercial value of the in
vention? The projectors see
a great future for it. In the
first place, it is claimed flint
the invention will supplant
the whole machinery ot the
present telegraph, aside from
the poles a i.'d wires. A cheap
boy in an office who can write'
will do the work of an expert
telegrapher with this ma
chine. More often thcopera
tor will not need to read at
all, but merely feed to the in
strument the copy u! the
person sending a dispatch.
Persons at a uistanco can bt
identified where acquainted
with the autographs of one
another. Arbitrary signs or
trade marks can beditpatch-
t-d in orders for goods, etc
The person at either end
of
the wire can rile away for fu
ture reference an exact copy
of his own dispatch as well
as that of the one received.
The receiver works without
any attention.
Wh. flier aud Fields.
How the death of Fields af
fected Whittier may be seen
from the following extract of
a letter written by the poet
to Elizabeth Stewart Phelps
and published in the Centu
ry: 1 miss Fields, it seems to
me more and more a light
too early quenched; a loss ir
reparable. I cannot teHthes
how his death shocked me.
Ah, me, if I had only known
what was to be! lie was my
friend of nearly forty years;
never a shadow rested for a
moment on the sunshine of
that frienelsliip. It is a terri
ble loss. With him it must
be well. He loved much, pit
ied much, but never hated.
He was Christlike in kindneprf
and sympathy, and in doing
good. How strange Ihat I
outlive him! God grant that
I may meet it with seime
thing of his simple trust and
cheerfulness.
