arena : of politics they should take
with them ay err jsTimcient stock of
honesty, morality," truthfulness and
conscientiousness, but they , should
leare ln their libraries, locked up

uselessly and j heavily with' the for

have occasion: but! rarely .to use it;
and ifj used they will have a certain
guarantee that it will be abused,
neglected, despised by the adversary!
Be just and fear fjnot. We are re
minded of this when we read the or:

that let the President swear . in, as is
the uniform custom, the three newly

: SECRETARY BLAINE. -
It is certain that Secretary Blaine
has gained in popularity since . he ac
cepted the first place in the Garfield
Cabinet. With all of hia extreme
views during . high' political excite
ment : he has had : many . personal
friends among the Democrats.' He is
a magnetic, many and nasi the power-
of attracting as friends even those of
opposite political opinions and affilia
tion. , His is jl . very, earnest, ardeut
temperament and ! he is sometimes
driven into the nlost ultra positions
He t was, whd first named the. : most
thorough paced ; - Republicans Stal-
warts. He is not a sneak, but is open
and defiant. His antagonism to Conk
ling has been bitter extremely for ten
years or more. 1 hey dislike each
other with" a cordiality, that is some-'
thing phenomenal. . Of the two Conk
ling is t)ieiler maln bnt, Blaine has.
plenty of capacity, and he is a -very
dangerous person tolmeet in debate.

letter aaaressed to the late President,

: ANOTHER DIG FBA."-
Ah, hah! Atlotherbig-f raud-nrtr-
covered. In. Washington there is a
new scandal over a recent discovery.
There is a gigantic pension fraud; the
work o'f a rfng of clerks in thente
rior j Department, , sthat js aid to
amount to millions. The discovery
or'cfew thktlledj tothe' dtscbvery was
brought about by the; arrest of Geo.
W.Black some days ago upon a
charge of presenting a false pension
claim. ..The following is', a specimen
of Black'scharacterji who was a clerk
n. the Interior Department : ; -. , , ,;, ,
- - - - . !
- ThA Tnan Blaek had a ' short : time ago
been, before, the same court because of an af-r
fray, in which he was soundly whipped fox-
being iouna Jioffranie amcw wim uue mis.
Buckley, of this city, a scandal which rc-
suited in tne separation ui iub cuumej
ily. The character of the man took away
the force of the character of the offence
against thegovernment, leaving the public
to infer that it was confined to one rascal.''
But a new Commissioner of . Pen
sions, Mr! Dudley, wis" interested to
know how Black got his false claim
through, so he began to investigate.
Black's claim was dated June 9, 1879.
Mr. Dudley began back of. tJiis date:
The result is quite a nest of rascally
clerks has been unicovered,and aanong
them are some of the best men in the
Department, it is said. They are in
collusion with outside ; parties A
special to the Charleston ; News and
Courier' says : ' ' ."v. ''' :;; ''.j
"The secret service officers have been
shadowing ; these suspected clerks for a
month. They know every one of them
and their circumstances and the money they
spend. They have traced them from the
restaurant to gambling houses, places of
ill-fame and stock-broking and bucket shops,
and can drop upon them now. any honrIt
is not yet desirable to make the arrests
owing to the incompleteness of the evidence
necessary to convict the ringleaders." ;
We have no doubt whatever that
the Departments are honeycombed
with corruption. " We do not hesi
tate to' say that it is our decided be
lief that a thorough exploration
among the operations of the various
Departments . during the last fifteen
years would expose a degree of cor
ruption which, for magnitude and
variety; would put to shame the cor
ruptions, in office under George the
Third, in England, when Sir Robert
Walpole :was Minister. 3 We hope
the time will come when the people
will know the whole story.
I JIB. GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
Mr. Gladstone, as our dispatches
have informed our readers, had
grand ovation tendered himl on the
" .... . . . j . .
7th inst., at Leeds. His speeches are
always read with .the utmost, atten
tion by all intelligent Englishmen of
every shade of politics. His utter
ances are more influential than those
of any livinsr 'Britisher. ' When he
speaks Europe listens. In his speech
at the splendid banquet given him at
night, at which fourteen hundred
persons were present, he thus referred
to the absorbing Irish question:
"Justice to Ireland is a sacred duty.' but
it can never be performed without . equal
justice to England and . Scotland. . The
state of Ireland might not be a party ques
tion. Ireland is in a great crisis, and on
the working: of the Land act may: depend
the greatest issues with regard to her pros-;
penty. There are powerful agencies work
ing which will !yet influence her fate in
spite of the action of certain persons. I do
not believe that there are laborers in any
country that have made more progress than
lnia laborers...-: j
He referred in eulogistic terms to
Sir Gavan Duffy and Mr. j Dillon,
the one favoring, the other opposing
the- Land act;: but be was 'anything
else than complimentary , when he re
ferred to tne agitators -'Who rare' en-
deaybring to render the' Land act a
failure and a nullity, yHe sid;
"A small hody of men has arisen . who
are not ashamed to preach : to Ireland the
doctrine of public plunder. The state of
things in Ireland is coming to the question
of law on the one, hand and sheer lawless;
hess on the other." 1 'U 1 ':

nanimity ; of the right of benators
elect to be sworn in before there was
organization ; as the rebuker, of ;the
Democratic party; and as an insinua
tor against the. honorable purposes df
the I representatives f ! that party.
But he was rebuked : in turn by seve-
ral Senators and the proper exposure
was! made. x V i:;
Senator Garland, of Arkansas, a
jurist of. the first' rank confessedly In
the Senate, said the Democrats were
acting lawfully, and, .with dignity,
he told Edmunds that they had no
apologies to make i for their, course,
either to him or to' any other person
or body of persons. Good ! Said ie :
"The only object of ' calling the Senate
together, so far as the country knew, was
to place some one between the government
and possible anarchy in case of the death
or taking away by" any means of the pres-
ent President of the United States.
Hence:
it was a high duty and a great duty, which
preceded all others in importance, to elect
at once a President pro tern. It ranks the
question of swearing in a Senator and all
other questions.". , , ' , : , . ;
Senator Beck, one of the first men
of the Senate a bold, honest Scotch
man said truly that but; for the con
duct of Gen. Arthur,' when acting as
Vice President, there would bave
been no necessity for. calling that
body in extra session. He failed to
vacate the Chair, : as is the custom,
thai a President pro i tem, might be
chosen. He was afraid a Democrat
would get the place. l;i 1 .
Senator Morgan the able and elo
quent Senator, from Alabama, re
minded the Vermonter that he (Ed
munds) had voted often "to exclude
sovereign States from a voice in the
Senate, but his party necessities re
quiring it, he "had" at last, come to
the conclusion that Senators must be
admitted whenever their credentials
were read, without an opportunity
being given for investigation or in
quiry." He further reminded the
Senate that there was a charge of
fraud in the election of the New
Ye?rk Senators, and that it ' had been
urged that the Legislature had not
the power to elect Senators at the
time they were elected. This called
for investigation. . , Senator Beck re
minded the Senate also that but for the
folly of Conkling and Piatt in throw
ing iip their credentials and leaving
the Senate as they did Hew York
would not be unrepresented now. ' , ..
j The eloquent Senator from Mis
souri, Mr. Vest, gave Mr. Edmunds a
sharp reply for his insinuations, and
reminded him of the current phrase of
the last session so often in the mouths
of Republicans that the "Voice of
the j constitutional I majority is ; the
voice of God." An excellent axiom,
by the way, and one that it is well to
cherish. ; The Senator . reminded the
Republican . minority that the "con
stitutional majority to-day happened
to be on the Democratic side, and of
course in the opinion of his Republi
can friends its voice ; was scarcely a
divine utterance." ; Altogether the Re-;
publicans madi a beggarly exhibit in
the light of the past. ' " r !.

?' Upwards of ' two years have elapsed
since the tax was repealed, and it is instruc
tive to look into the results of the repeal.
If the protectionists prophesied truly the
price of quinine should be higher; now than
in June, 1879,. and the American quinine
industry has been 'annihilated.' The facts,
however, fire sadly against the protection';
ists. The price of quinine now, is $2 an
ounce for American, and the best' brands of
the foreign article can be bought for from
$1.80 to $1.85 an ounce. The price, of
quinine in September, 1877, was 33.92 ; iri
September, J878, $3.90, and, m September,;
1879, $3.35 per ounce, when the duty had
ceased in June of that year. :! That Is, the
price of quinine has fallen off about 50 per
cent, through the repeal of a 20 per cent.
duty! This is an eloquent fact,. and one
that should appeal to, the reason and interest
of every intelligent citizen." j j '
Read, ponder these figures and do

work the same way, no doubi, -with
all the articles now in the , American
Tariff if they were made, free pf tax
or duty. In five years after the duty
was repealed every article would be
cheaper in spite of ail combinations.'
It is true certain manufacturers would
be injured for a season, pbssibly' for
alj time. But what of it? Sha 1 fifty

and the American manufacturers are hot

men than . ever through the increased de
mand for quinine resulting from a reduced
price.' The. only persons who suffered are
the manufacturers, and even they have suf
fered no wrong. They had no right to
charge consumers 50 per , cent. , above the,
present price when the tax was only 20 per
