The President and the People.
Philadelphia Preis.
President Garfield's Administration
has had a stormy pathway during its
short career thus far, but It has reso
lutely braved all of Its difficulties and
has made steady and triumphant pro
gress. Tbe clouds which suddenly
loomed up about it were the more sur
prising because they had been little to
presage such a tempest. Rarely has
an Administration started out with a
fairer prospect of peaceful progress.
General Garfield's nomination had
satisfied the independent sentiment of
the country without dampening the
enthusiasm of the regular party or
ganization. During the canvass he
had rallied a united party to his
cordial support, and he was elevated
to the Presidency not merely through
the force of party loyalty but with tbe
Intelligent and approving judgment
of the nation. In organizing his Ad
ministration be sought to preserve
this established harmony by frankly
consulting and respecting all the ele
ments which had contributed to the
common victory, and the first results
gave hopeful promise of success.
But this prospect soon proved de
lusive. It very speedily appeared that
there were leaders who would not be
content with a fair recognition of all
divisions, but who insisted upon grasp
ing all power within their own hands.
When the President undertook to be
President, and w ithout departing from
his settled policy of just treatment for
every portion of the party, assumed to
exercise his rightful prerogatives ac
cording to his own judgment, he
suddenly found himself facing war in
stead of peace. It was a struggle
which involved not merely his own
honor and dignity, but tlie constitu
tional principles of government and
the freedom of the party from personal
dictation. For more tbau a month
the angry contest was waged against
the President. To-day it is over ex
cept as defeated faction ists may at
tempt to carry it into localities, and
the Administration Is stronger than
before. It commands a more positive
and aggressive popular support than
when it entered upon its term. Then
there was a general feeling of good
will and of hopeful expectancy; now
there is the vital enthusiasm aroused
by manly actions and real public
achievement. The President himself
is personally stronger and has palpa
bly gained in tbe public esteem.
The first and the obvious reason is
the firmness and courage he has dis
played in maintaining his position
and defending his constitutional pre
rogatives. Perhaps this firmness was
unexpected. It has been quite tbe
fashion, while recoguizing tbe great
ability of General Garfield, to charge
him with a want of backbone. He
has been regarded as a man of splen
did Intellectual endowments, but as
deficient in the decision and rugged
strength which belongs to positive
natures. If there was any ground for
such an impression he has done very
much to remove it. The truth is that
a statesman of his breadth and accom
plishments Is very apt to be misappre
hended. He sees all sides of a ques
tion, and in balancing them against
each other may seem to hesitate more
than tbe man of narrow vision who
sees only tite one side, and obstinately
follows it. But ii) the end he acts
. under the command of intelligent con
victions and a deep sense of respon
sibility. General Garfield has shown
both pluck and backbone, and be ha
gained iu the public esteem both be
cause he has been courageous and be
cause bis courage has been exhibited
In the just cause of defending the in
tegrity of the party and the honor of
tbe Government against the assaults
of autocratic claims. The people have
seen too that the Presideut has earn
estly sought to be entirely fair, and
that he has still preserved tbis equable
te nper under the grossest provocation.
While resisting insolent pretentious
he has not, on the other hand, per
mitted any section to be proscribed
and punished. Even after the war
fare upon him be has been careful to
avoid giving any just ground of of
fense to his asuailauts, and this mani
fest fairness and firmness have greatly
heightened his place in the public res
pect.. The Treasury Department at
Washington receives five per cent,
bonds, for continuance under the 8
per cent, scheme, at tbe rate of over
twenty-five million dollars per day,
and this rate will probably contiuue
during the week, so that tbe Secretary
expects to receive nearly $200,000,000
by Saturday night. The holders of
five per cents seem more willing to
accept the 8J rate than the holders of
sixes did, probably because the re
duction in rate is so much less. The
average Interest rate of Government
bonds now, premium considered, is
about three per cent, and the 4a and
4a really yield less than that rate to
the holders. Investors. while opposed
to a three percent, bond, will readily
pay a premium on a i per cent, bond,
which make it yieldless than a S per
cent, bond would.

Cbaapel, Florist, we are prepared to

Judge Booflold.
Warren Malt.
Has been appointed and confirmed
as Judge of the Court of Claims in
place of Hunt, promoted to the Cabi
net. This Is a life position and no
doubt more acceptable to the Judge
than the office of Register of the
Treasury. The President shows his
usual wisdom and discretion in se
lecting men of his high character, le
gal learning and party fidelity for such
places of honor and trust. This Court
has five Judges, It was organized in
1855 and holds its sessions In Wash
ington. The large number of claims
against the Government growing out
of the war made an extentlon of its
power necessary In 1863 whereby claim
ants were more deliberately heard,
and the labor of Congress reduced.
It has jurisdiction over all cislms
founded upon any law of Congress,
or regulation of an executive depart
ment, or upon any contract, express
or implied, witli the United States,
and of all claims which may be re
ferred to it by either houseof Congress.
It is a quite, dignified, learned body
making little noise !n the world, ad
journing during the warm weather
and taking things easy.
Save here and there a paper with a
sore head, all our exchanges commend
the selection of Judge Scofield. This
from the Philadelphia Press la a fair
sample:
In the apointment of the Hon.
Glenn! W. Scofield to Judge Hunt's
vacant chair in the Court of Claims,
President Garfield has made a most
admirable selection. Judge Scofield
would bring character and strength to
any body, whether judicial or legisla
tive, to which he might be called.
His new position will probably
be more congenial to his taste
than his present one as Register
of theTieasury. He as long ago as
1861 earned his title of Judge by serv
ing a short time as President Judge
of the Eighteetb Judicial District of
Pennsylvania, then consisting of the
counties of Clarion, Venango, Jefferson
and Forest. Form 1863 to 1873 he
represented the egbt counties in the
north-west corner of the State, then
comprising the Nineteenth District,
in tbe House of Representatives, and
the two following years he represented
Pennsylvania as a member at large.
He was appointed Register of the
Treasury by President Hayes in
1878.

child 2 months old. The couple bad

Pheters had applied for a divorce.

A Naughty Churoh Choir.
HOW A MEMBER PUT PEPPER IN A
YOUNG LADY'S CANDY AND WHAT
SHE SAID.
Peck's Milwaukee Sim says: You
may organize a church choir and
think you have got it down fine, and
that every member of It is pious and
full of true goodness, aud in such a
moment as you think not you will
find that one or more of them Is full
of the old Harry, and will break out
when you least expect it. There Is
one church choir in Milwaukee that
Is about as near perfect as a choir can
be. It has been organized for a long
time, and never has quarreled, and
the congregation swear by It.
You would not think that this choir
played tricks on each other during the
sermon, but sometimes they do.
One morning last summer, after tbe
tenor bad been playing tricks all the
spring on the choir, the soprano
brought a chunk of shoemakers' wax
to church. The tenor was arrayed
like Solomon, In all his glory, with
white pants and a Seymour coat. The
tenor got up to see who the girl was
that came in with the old lady, and
while he was up the soprano put the
shoemakers' wax on the chair, and
the tenor sat down upon It. They all
saw it and they waited for the result.
It was an awful long prayer, and the
church was hot, and the tenor was no
iceberg himself, and shoemaker's wax
melts at 98 degrees Fahrenheit. The
ministers finally got to amen, and
read a hymn.thechoir coughed and all
rose up.
The chair that the tenor was in
stuck to him like a brother, ami came
right along and nearly broke his sus
penders. It was the tenor to bat, and
us the great organ struck up he pushed
the chair off his person, looking
around to see if he had saved his pants
and began toeing, and the rest of the
choir near bursting. Well tbe tenor
sat down on a white handkerhief be
fore he went home, and he got home
without anyone seeing htm, and he
has been "laying for" the soprano
every since to get even.
It Is customary in all first-class
choirs for the male singers to furnish
candy for the lady singers, and the
other day tbe tenor went to a candy
factory and had a peppermint lozeuge
made with a teaspoon fu I of cayeune
pepper in the centre of it. On Christ
mas be took the lozenge to church
and concluded to get even with the
soprano if he died for it. Caudy had
been passed around, and just before
tbe hymn was given out in which the
soprano was to elng a solo, "Nearer,
my God, to Thee.'' the wicked wretch
gave ber the loaded lozenge. She put
it in her mouth and nibbled off the
ridges, and was rolling it as a sweet
morsel under her tongue when the
organ struck up and they all arose.
While the choir was skirmishing
on the' first part of the verse she
chewed up what was left of the candy
and swallowed it. Well if a Demo
cratic torchlight procession had
marched unbidden down her throat
the couldn't have been more astonish
ed. She leaned over spit the candy
out, but there was enough pepper left
to have pickled a peck of chow-chow.
It was her turn to sing, and she arose
and took the book, her eyes filled with
tears, her voice trembled, her face was
red as a spanked lobster, and the way
she sang that old hymn was a cau
tion. With sweet tremolo she sang
"Nearer, My God, to Thee," and the
congregation was almost melted to
tears. As she stopped, while the organ
ist got in a little work, she turned her
head, opened her mouth and blew out
her breath with a "whoosh," to coo)
her mouth. The audience saw her
wipe a tear away, but did not hear the
sound of her voice as she
"whooshed."
She wiped out some of the pepper
with her handkerchief and sang the
other verse with a srood deal of fervor
and the choir sat down, all tbe mem
bers looking at tbe soprano. She
called for water. The noble tenor
went and got it for her, and after she
drank a couple quarts she whispered
to him, '-Young man, I will get even
with you for that peppermint caudy
if I have to live thousand years, and
don't you forget it," and they all set
down and looked pious, while the
minister preached a most beautiful
sermon on "Faith." We expect tbe
tenor will be blowed through the
roof some Sunday morning, and the
congregation will wonder what he is
in such a hurry for.
