The President's Ca4ItlMu
The reports from Washington disclose
another very unfavorable view of the
president's condition, and, coming se
seen after a series of reassurances from
the physicians will, serve te create anew
popular distrust of their bulletins. Fer
weeks it has been noticeable that these
bulletins only give one kind of news.
Apart from the record of the pulse beats,
respiration and temperature, which the
medical reporters could net well color,
they are of no value whatever and only
serve te mislead the public. One day
after the ether we have had the same
story of improvement, cheerfulness,
growing strength and increasing appe
tite, until, if they had all been true, the
public would have a right te expect the
president te be ready te take up his bed
and walk. All the while there liave been
eutgivings contradicting nil of these
bulletined reports. It has been known
that nobeby could see the president ex
cept his'docters, and Mr. Blaine's pre
mulgatien of his signature te an official
document the ether day had very much
the appearance of having been a device
te divert public attention from the con
sideration of the constitutional inability
of the executive te perform the duties
of his office. Fer, if Mr. Garfield was
able te consider and discharge these du
ties, there was no need te confine him te
one subscription of his name; and, if
he was net, it was a patty device te
force him te write his name te one un
important paper and parade it before the
country as an evidence that the presi
dent was net in the condition in which
the constitution made his duties devolve
upon Mr. Arthur whom Mr. Blaine, it
may be assumed, does net desire te have
these duties shouldered upon. Mr. Ar
thur, te his credit be it said, has shown
no unseenhy desire te assume them. He
may well shrink from the responsibility
until it is forced upon him. But that is
net a consideration for Mr. Blaine nor
the physicians te judge of. Tiieir course,
in studiously misrepresenting their
patient's condition, can only awaken
a terrible feeling of resentment
against them should it result in
his deatli after this long continu
ance of hopeful assurances. Already
there arc professional muttcrings against
their mismanagement of the case, as
well as forcible criticisms of the political
aspects of its treatment. Beth would
be intensified by any resulting fatality;
the fact that there is danger of this
ran no longer be disputed.
accessary Reorganization.
The l'ettsville Chronicle, one of the
most intelligent and independent Demo
cratic newspapers of the state, edited by
Wm. Kennedy, esq., speaks strongly of
the necessity for a system of rules te
govern the Democratic organization of
this state and declares, net without rea
son, that .the lack of them up'te this
time is simply a disgrace te the intelli
gence and integrity of the party organi ergani organi
tien. Their failure has certainly led te a
slip-shed way of doing things, and a suc
cession of irregularities that are always
damaging and often disgraceful te the
party. The trouble is that, in the ab
sence of such rules, the tilings which
they should govern are either left te the
chances of the moment, or are decided
accordingly as they affect the personal
or factional interests of these who con
trol their determination. Besides the gen
eral inefficiency of the state committee,
and the lack of order iu the organization
of conventions, the Chronicle points out
that:
" Ne regular system is provided for the
selection of delegates te our state conven
tions. In one county they are selected by
the county committee as a whole ; in au au
etber by the county committee cut up in
sections ; in another by the county con
ventions ; and in another as the local lead
ers for the time being may deem best for
the promotion of their personal interests.
This loose manner of representation is in
itself an invitation te fraud ; and enables
the representatives of the different fac
tions te secure their ends by a resort te
questionable and dishonest methods.
There has net been a Democratic state
convention for teu years in which there has
net been a wrangle ever the admission of
contesting delegations from Philadelphia,
all of which has arisen from the lack of a
system of rules which should determine en
their very face which is the .regular dele
gation. There is no geed icasen why a
rule should net be adopted, prescribing in
definite terms the manner of electing dele
gates te the state convention, just as
every county organization provides for the
manner et electing delegates te the coun
ty convention."
The Chronicle favors making the coun
ty chairmen members of the state com
mittee, and that appears te be -the pre
vailing idea. It would be well for it,
and ether faithful exponents of the bet
ter element of the party te further indi
cate what direction the proposed reor
ganization of the party should take. We
agree with it that the committee should
net undertake tee much. It isnet likely
that it will. But what the committee
needs are sensible suggestions as te the
best mode of reform, rather than argu
ments te show the need of reform or
who is responsible for the present cendi
tien of disorganization.
'
Twe weeks from next Wednesday is
the time fixed by the Democratic county
committee for holding the district con
ventions te cheese delegates te the state
convention and a general county
convention te name a county ticket.
The time is net far distant, but the in
terval is long enough te consider and
determine upon all that is te be done.
On Saturday of next week the Deme,
cratic voters of the several-districts will
meet te elect delegates te the convention
who will " settle it." The candidates
for county offices seem te be as well
satisfied te have their agony seen ever.

that man is the one being that takes de
light in the tragedy of its own existence,
and for whom joy is deepest when it

graves of these he had cherished, invek

himself te be the Orestes of his race, in
all this he was fulfilling his nature."

present were a large number of clergymen

Gable was an elder, Rev. A. X. Shoemaker,

The services at the house consisted of
brief addresses by Revs. Steneshifer and

consisting of the hearse and about twenty
five carriages filled with mourners, and a
large concourse en feet, including the
Friendship fire company in a body, moved

Walnut te Duke, down Duke te Orange
and down Orange te the church.
Arrived at the church the coffin was
taken from the hearse and placed in front
of the altar, and then Rev. Seilhamer de

tribute te the memory et the deceased,and
filled with words of wisdom for the living.

lowed with an address en the life and char
acter of Mr. Gable, prefacing his remarks
with a statement that Mr. Gable had some
years age made a reques, that he should
de se. He said that Mr. Gable was one of
these positive Christians, who, like Abra
ham Lincoln, looked te principle rather than
policy as a guide te histien. Although
unlettered and uneducated in the schools,
be was a man of great practical intelli
gence and general information. He was
net an active politician, but had clear
views en all great questions of local, state
or national importance. He belonged te
the order of heroes, who are always found
in the front when duty calls them there,
but who lcave the miner details te ethers.
He was a man of fine business capacity ;
did net meddle or worry about small
matters, but was wholesale iu all
his movements and operations Though
liberal in his religious views he
was radical in his religious life,
and struggled te keep the truths of
religion pure and simple before the eyes
and understanding of the people. His re
ligious hobby was the great missionary
work, in which cause he never tired labor
ing, in behalf of which he was a liberal
contributor. In the church, he was a geed
counseller and adviser, but it is doubtful
