The youlting ts thought to have been gnused, not by gastric disturbance growing out of the nilmisston of food to the stomach, but by the aceumulation of phicgm in the throat. ‘There had been no return of the vomiting up fo inidnight, but it had been decided to ad- minister no more nourishment in the rég- wlar way until this morning, A feature of grave dmport is noted in the fact that the glandular swelling has grown harder, and seems to ba preparing to ‘brenk and suppt- tate.

Tho newspapers throughout the country which have been classed as Administration Journals, and which were relentless In their efforts to defent tho relection of Mr. Conk- ling,, nye nevertheless been generous enough to recognize in fitting terms the com- inendable conduct of Vice-Prestdent Arthur, Conkling'’s nearest friend, slice President Garfield was shot down. They have given the Vice-President credit for perfect sin- certty in lig manifestations of grief ut this tional disaster. They have applauded the discretlon ‘and good taste which ha has shown with reference to the possible respon: sibility which may be put upon him. They have diseredited the stories which have been set afloat in regard to the alleged conferences between the Vice-President and his intimate friends, sail to: be looking to the former's assuinvtion of the Presidential duties during President Garfield’s pros- tration.” ‘Thoy have gone so far as to argue from Gen. Arthur's present attitude that he will pursue a conservative course in the ling of tho policy established by Qartield th case the Chief Mngtstracy shall devolye upon hh. indeed, there has been a remark- able exhibition of good will toward the Vice President, in view of lls former close asso- elation with the faction whieh nade such bitter war upop Presitent Garfield, and not- withstanding the frightful conditions under which Gen, Arthur must assume the ofice of President tn ease of President Garfield's death, All this has been right and proper. ‘Thera fg reagon to fear, however, that the anti-Administration, and: especially the antl. Blaine, fuctlon has not responded cordially to this spirit of coneiiiattun, It is certain that the newspapers which represent this faction have mitted to give Seeretary Blaine proper credit for tho statesmanship and vatriotisy: le hus “shown under the most trying clreumstaness, ‘The New York Vribune, In a recent Issue, poluts out that no Secretary of State, with the possible axception of Mr. Seward, "hag ever had such a burden of responsibility thrown upon him in the first flve montlis of his service ns Mr, Blaine hag bad, and yet dscovers 9 dispusition among lis enemies to ageuse him of “intriguing” for the nominn: ton fn 1884, and of a destre to ford It over the other members of the Cabinet. Nothing eoutd be more ungencrous or unjust than to deny or ignore Mr, Blntne’s demonstrated fitness and loyalty during the exception enburrassmonts and trinls of tho present Administration, When he decided to aecept the position of Premier under President Gar- flekt he did ai ab considerable sueritiee, He ind what amounted practically to a Ife tenure In tho Senatorship from his own State, for he was not the man to mike such a mistake as Conkling made. To was’ al ways brilliant and nggresalve in de- bate, and’ would have been able. to make « more conspicuous figure’ before the country ag Sonator than ae Seoretary, Dut he was alifelong friend of the Preal- dent-elect, Though he had been a prominent aspirant for the prize whieh Garteld carried athera the removal of snow in the winter. | Presitent shoukt give some stn that will deyote equal fatness and goad will In the event of the Prestdent’s death, THE STRUGGLE OF A HERO. It is an ennobling spectacle,—that of the President, struggling against the enorvating: and demoralizing influence of wounds and Ulsoase, and warding off tho arlin spectro Death, The calm courage of tho lresident confers a sow dignity upon humanity, Doubtless many herote mon have struggled frrobscurity as tho President now struggles In tho fnee of all mankind. Could the world havo witnessed these-strugales tt would have honored thom as it honors Garfield. There isn mnjesty in true heroisin that extorts re- spect and applause, and in the act of award: Ing the due imeed of praise tho multitude is Hifted to a higher plane of morals, ‘Tie fortt- tutte of the President and the-natura), unos- tentatious devotion of his esthmable wife In an almost unparalleled emerzency, asuprame aMtiction, have made the Amerieans a greater and better people. ‘Chey linve been rendered tore homeogenous by na common misfortune, inore syinpathetle by a common sorrow, and more olayated In moral tone by aaplendid exibition of ‘resignation coupled with that indomitable courage which distinguishes the highest type of American manhood, and en- ables the victln of disaster to benr upngalnst a sea of troubles, As: immediately, aft- er (tho wound was Inilicted tho Jresi- dent declared himself equal te - either fortune,—content to lle, if ft was so deereed, but carnest tu hfs desire to Ive for hls fan ‘ily, his own future, and Its country; so, throughout the long aud desperate struggle, he has encountered cvery crisis with a pa- fience and fortitude worthy of the great pagan philosopher Suerates, On Wednesday, atan carly hour, after a rolnpse which brought hin face to face with death, he wooed the first hope of conyates- cenee with the cheerful remark, “1 feel pretty well this morning? On ‘Thursday, in reply to the question, “Is the President as brave as over?” Private-Secratary Brown said: “Yes; he les there with clonched teeth, you might almost say, and fights every Inch of ground that the disease gains.” Of such aman there is hope so Jung 2s there is & pulse-beat, whether weak or strong, whether slow or auick. Only once has the President erfed for inercy at tho handgof the surgeons; only once has he shrank from the sharp edge of tho Innect. «At the lnat surgieal operation he asked to be etherlzed, If there has been a mistake in the treatment of the Presidents case, it occurred, probably, In the granting of that request, By that tine the surgeons and physlelans knew the ox- treme dellency of their patient’s stomach. Ilad they said then: “We dare not subject your stumach to the debilitating effects of cetherlzation,” the Vresident would no doubt tinve fortiiled himself to bear the paly, and so perhaps have averted the terrl- ble stomachle crisis, But ly there 2 surgeon on earth who would have had the hardiliood to refuso the apparently reasonable request of stich # man under suelt etreumstances ? There is abundant vvidence that, of all ‘the | laymen in the United States, the Presklent Linself has best: comprehended hts own ease, and the treatment of It. - lence his sat- isfaction with it is the best evidence that it has becn, on thu whole, wise. President Garfield dias always beon a he- role character in the circle in which he moved, Tho boy who conquers dificulties, and, through poverty, senles the hights of learning, isa hero among his boy compan- fons, ‘The young college Professor who abandons the comparatiye ease of a studious Ife for the hardships and dangers of the bat- tleflold In defense of hls countrys a here {n his neighborhood, ‘he man who fs mas- terof the persuasive and insplring art of aratory is a hero wherevgr his voleu reaches, ‘The nan whe commands the sulfrages of his follow-cltizens for Mzh office during a long series of yenrs must possess great eharaeter- Isties antl be more or Jess of w here in pro- portlon to the extont of tho fleld of his ap- erations. ‘These are salient features of the eharneter and career of Garfield, ‘The story of his Jif reads Uke a romnnee, and the tragle act by which Ils life hay been jeopard- ed, his tong sulforing ait bis splendid enelure ance and. perfect gelf-polso In battling asllently with disease,—all: these tralls show that he Js. of the stuff of whieh heroes are anade, ALLEGED REVOLUTION 1N SLEAM-POWER.
