Up to that time he was.comparatively a stran- eer outside of political clreles and his own State. Me was known generally tu the coun: try asan able Representative from the oll Glddings district of Ohta In Congress, and who held a high place on the Committee of Waysand Means, Ite was known among the Unton soldiers asa man who had Won a faly distinction as Chief of Staf in Gen. Rosecrans’ Army of tho Cumberland, Me was a modest and unobtrusive member of the House when Colfax, Boutwell, James F, Wilson, Banks, Pendleton, Wootl, Schenck, Blaine, Thad Stevens, Morril!, Washburne, and Conkling were conspicuous, Ue was kuown to his associates as a great scholar, & man of superlur Mterary attainments, ‘an eloquent orator, and a tseful and fabo- tlouscommitteoman, It required personal acquaintance with him to know even this mueh, and during the elghteen years he was A momber of that body the knowledge of his great qualities of mind and heart was chielly confined to tho inembers‘uf the two LMouses of Congress, to the members of tha Govern- ment, and to his own constituents. Beyond this he was not conspicuously known to the country. In 1870 tho Legislature of Ohio, to all of whose members he was perhaps personally known, did him the unusual honor of electing him a Senator by what was practically 8 unanimons yote. This was the first success which had a National character, and during his subsequent service tn the Mouse lis great ability, his conscten- tlons fairness towards hig opponents, and tho leadership of his party-tended to give him a prominence as a young man whose day had not yet come, and who possibly might have a future, . In dttne, 1882, hu cams to the Chicago Con- vention as a delegnte representing his friend and colloague, Secretary Sherman, He came to that convention in the sole character of a delegate, ‘Lo the large majority of the con- vention he was personally a stranger. Io appeared In that body where were gssom- bled uiany of the. best minds of the Republic- an party, aud among men whose names and whose public services were ag familiar to the country as housshold words. He st once attracted attention by his fine personal pres- ance and by his dignified und clear presenta- tlon “of the leading question to be detor- mined, In that discussion he took a front. rank, and even before the time for the selec- tlon of-a candidate he had won, the hearts and ndintration of ail the delegates, Ills presentation of the name of Mr, Sher- man. was & mnasterpicce of oratory, and that it falled to carry convie- tion was no fault of his, but it made for Mr. Gartield among the delegntes n Teputation for ability and statesmanship which had previously been Imited to his personal acquaintances, The effect of this sudden revolation, 50 modestly and unobtrusively mado to the convention, was shown n few hours Inter, when, a4 an esenpe from the seeming dead- ook, the name of Garileld was, despite his protests, taken up by the-convention, and he was nomlnated for President. ‘The effect of his nomination aud his per- sonal presentation to the country a6 a candi- date, and of his election, was as marvelous as was his appearanee and his oratory upon the convention, ‘the country, rising above all other aud potty considerations, recognized in this scholar of Mentor, this hiltherto un heralded orator, this man who by the purity of hls Hfs and the vigor of his industry ind. como up frum obscurity and poverty, a noble Illustration of American institutions and a fitting aud honorable person to repre sent os Its Excoutiye the American Republic, Ais life, his charactor, and hls ability op- penled forcibly to the hearts of the Amorican peonte, and in these hearts grew the conyle: Hon that the cause of American tiberty would bo best adorned and exemplified by tho olec Won of such a man to the Prosideney, De- spite all jealousies, heart-burnings, captions discontent, and palnful disappointinents, which might have been fatal to another, Gen, Garflold from the day of his nomination to the day of bls inauguration so won upon the hearts and Judgmout of his countrynwn that he was esteemed as the choice of tho Whole people, Everywhere throughout the Jand he was recognized ag the intellectual and scholarly superior of any of his prode- cessory in the great oflee, and as the most fitting of them alt to represent the American Uepublic among the nattons of the earth, Another great olrcumatance in this mans Mfe, going very far in binding him in the af- fectlons and admiration of the people, was the purity and sanctity of his domestic houso- hold, To tho world he was statesman, sol- dior, orator, and publicist; but in addition to thls he was the affectionate son, : husband, and father In the humble housvbold ut Men- tor, ‘That was a feature In his life that ap- peated to the kindly feelings of all, It was a recogultion by this great student of the strong American feeling that in the maine tonauca of the affection and purity of tho famtly cirele Is to be found tho strongest gutarantee of political untty, Gen, Garfekl's popularity with the Aimer- lean people was enlarged, If possible, but certalnly strongthened, by hie course as President, ‘Thowgh ho had been a Repub- Henn all his life, amt was the Reprosentatiye in Congress vf the famous Abolition district of Ghiu, and mado no claim or prutenss to Democratic afiiation, Is Actutilstration had In {ts brief term disarmed opposttton, had silenced all partisanship, and was as strongly supportet In ‘Texas ant in Alabaina ns it wes tu Massachusetls and) in Ohio. ‘Though tho President had declared, hls polley of discarding machine politics and of making his Administration a National Government, and nota mere appendage ton Congressfonal caucus, tho feartesnesa, the maguanimity, the frankness, and the diguity with which this polley was avowed captured the judgment even of those whose political fortunes were bound up tn the old system. The untearned and the learned were equally proud that tho American resident ranked. Among the foremost scholars of the world. All classes and grades of men felt themselves honored in having this genial and accom. plished gentieman, conceded to bo one of tho leading statesmen of his age, known ns tho President of the Republic and chosen by tho free will of the American people. It is not. surprising, therefore, when such 9 Dresi dont, thus honored, cherished, and respected by the whole people, cach claiming a share in his greatness, was stricken down that tho blow was felt in every household and in every heart. This explains the tntversal sympathy of the whole people, -shnared, also, by the people of nearly-nall other na- tions. It was the sympathy of the people for ,the modest merit, for the intellectual great- ness, and for the personal goodness of tho great Presitent, MEDICAL Ae ee THE PRESIDENT’S SE. ‘The post-mortem examination of the body of President Gartield established clearly two facts: First, that the surgeons knew nothing of the nature or extent of his injuries; and, secondly, that medical skill could not have saved him, even if the diagnosis had been correct. ‘The wound was not probed. ‘The course of tho ball was merely conjectured, Dr. Bilss at first supposed that the liver and ab- dominal cavity had been pierced. Another theory was that tho ball, entering on the tight side of the back, had gone forward and downward, and stopped in front of the ab- domen on the same side that It entered, without breaking tho poritoneum. Dr. Ag- new, one of the most eminent surgeons in the country, believed that the ball would be found resting on the ifiitm, or ‘ilp-boue, under tho psoas niuscle, The post mortem showed that all these theories were wrong. Not one of them located the ball within eighteen Inches of its actual position, The final bulletin of the surgeons described tho wound as follows: It was found that tho ball, after fracturing tho right cleventh rib, bid passed through tho spinal column, in front of tho spinal canal, fencturing tho body of the first tumbur vertebra, driving ao numbor of smull frayments of bone Into the adjacent soft parta, and lodging {ust below the pancreas, about two Inches anil a halt to tho Jeft of the spino, and bebind the porl- Joncumt, whore it had become coupletely on- cysted. , The track of tha ball was across the body from right to left, Instead of downward and forward from tho back to the front of the abdomen, : Somo of tha correspontents at Long Branch supplemented tho report of the sur- geons with tho gratultous statement that tho ball was “back of the heart” and would have fmpeded the action of that organ as soon as the President assumed an upright position, ‘This 1s wholly erroneous, ‘The ball was encysted “back of the panerens,”? which is one of the digestive organs aitu- ated behind the stomach and to the right of the spleen, between tho curvatures of tho duodenum, or first part of the intestinal canal, ‘Ihe pancrens is several inches from the heart, the distance varying with the sizo o£ the person and the condition of the stomnch—whethor full or empty. Tha pan- creas, of course, is below tho dinphragm and the heart above it. 'Tho first question of {mportance to be de- eided by the surgeons was whothor the ball should be probed for and eut out or not. ‘The decision of this question woult have been tho same If the diagnosis had been correct, The risk was too great. The President might die under the shock of n surgical op- eration; moreover, there was danger that in probing the curved track of so deep a wound. some Important bleod-vessel might be rup- tured and the pationt die of Internal hemor- rhage. Tho event Justified tho wlidom of the doctors in leaving the ball alone. It ts extremely doubtful whether its position could have been accurately determined by probing; and If tt had been loented, nceord- ing to tho present leht on the case, It could only have been extracted by a govere surgical operation, Undoubtedly it could have beon dissected out, If its positiqn had been known. But tho removal of the ball would not have helped the President, ‘The surgeons say that it was completely “encysted,” or inclosed Inapouch. Its power of doing harm had, therefore, been oxlausted. ‘Tho Immediate cause of death was sce ondary hemorrhage, resulting from the Tupture of one of the Intestinal nrterics, known as tha mesonterle artery, Nearly a vint of blood was found in the abdominal cavily, But 1f this artery had not givon away the President must haye dled in a few. days of bloud-potsoning, The condition of his body was frightful. Ile had ono great ubscess mensuring six Inches by four near tho gall-bindder, There was also a channel caused by burrowing pus oxtonding from the mouth of the wound nearly to the right groin, This jas supposed during Ifo to be the track ot the ball, A drainage-tube was Inserted In it, and It was treated in all ro- Spects ay n wound, Both thesu abscesses were produced probably by bone-splinters— the first one by fragments from the shat- tored vertebra, and the second by pieces of tho fractured rib, ‘The last serious symptoms Were causad or aggravated by tho large In- terlor abscess, of the existunco of which the |, Surgeons were Ignorant, Tho suptic, or putrid, condition of the blood is explained, oy the roport suya, by tho alfferent suppurnting surfaces, and. espa elully by the broken, spongy tissue of the Yertebra. ‘I'he polson could not ba driven aut of tho system, as tha source of It could hot bo reached or removed. The President inust have died in a short thno from pywmla, the presence of which was indleated by the rigors, If he had not died from hemorrhage, ‘The development of pyrumiy dates from July 2, three weeks after the wound was Inilicted. On that day tho flow from the wound suddenly stopped. ‘Tho Provident had thres rigors, Mls pulsq ran up to 118, his tomporature toa 1017, and his respiration to 25, An Incision below the jnouth of the wound became necessary, A. new channel was mae and the pus per mitted to flow through. It has not been sufficiently noticed that the flow of thls old pus through a new cut was a condition most favorable for blood-polsoning, ‘The tlisues and lymphatic vessels along the old wound had been closed by the operation of a natural process of healing agalust tho pus flowing by them, But tho new cut was open to overy outside influence. It sucked up the polson and carrled it luto the system, About this tine, it will be remembored, Dr. Blss was polsoned through the aceldental seratehlng of hls hand with a surgieat Instrument that had been used In dressing the wound, No further evidence could bo desired of the polsonous character of the pus, when the firstinctston was made by Dr. Agnew. But the surgeons cannot bu justly blaiwned for that operation, ‘The President would have dled Ina few hours it it had not been made. It afforded Instant relief. The ond justifed tho monns, From the time of the first chill, July 25, the President's courso was steniily down- ward, Threo days afterward, July 20, rigors: wore agaln felt. On the With of August nausen and violent retehing began; on the 18th the Infiammation of the parotid gland was developed, Sept. 4 vomiting began again, Supt o he was removed to Long Brauch. ‘The case has presented no unusual fentures sinco the presence of pysemia was definitly ascertained. ‘Tho disease ran its course, and so cnded the lifvof the President, us thousands have dled before, While pyremin Is not incurable, it 1s a dangerous complication, Cases of complete recovery Are comparatively rare. Tho only point as to which there can be much dispute rotates to the tlne and manner of tho removal to Long Branch. It is.now agreed that this might have taken place earlier with profit to all concerned. But thare fs no ovidence at this point any. more than at tho other that a different Ine of ne- tlon would have snved the President's life. -There was no malaria In his system. ‘The blood-polsoning was npt superinduced by atmospherle conditions. It enme from the conduct of the ugly wound, and wns directly due to Smporfect drainage. ‘The avestion of removal was under considoration when the choking of tho channel first took place. There were physleal obstructions In the track of the wound which drove the pus Into the veins, tainted tho blood, and latd the whole system under contribution to the poisonous {ntluence. ‘The post-mortem examination relieves the attending surgeons from all ratlonal blame. Nothing that they did or rofrained from do- ing affected the result, oxeept ns it tended to prolong the life of the President. It was not In the power of man to save him. Care- ful nursing gave him a short lease of life Which he might not otherwise have had. Ws lingering flness, while ft was palnful for hi, softened the shock to the Nation and to his‘family. ‘The people may be grate ful now to the sanguine Bliss. No harm lina been done by the cheerful bullotins, It was well to havo hopa while there was life. ‘Though death was inovitablo, ts was a mercy to all—nnd to the President most of all—that the fact was not sooner known. "The edge of the shock was dulled, But the sorrow ocenstoned by the result’ could not be more than itis. nn GARFIELD AND GLADSTONE, ‘Tho caretul student of Mr, Gartield’s pub- Ne Ifo will find much that wilt point ton siinilarity with thatof Mr. Gladstone. ‘The English statesman, who is without an intel- Jectual eqttal In European Governments, has been spared to is country for a longer perlod than was Mr. Garfield, Mr. Gladstono is twenty-two years the senfor of tho Tatu President, and during these twenty-two years of prolonged lify he has won the great famo which has spread over all clvillzed lands, The younger man’s advancement has been more rapid, and the pertod of his politteal ascendoncy was altogether so brief that his record nan statesman was crowded inton few years and months, while that of Mr. Gladstone ins extended overs long as well as memorable lifetime. Both men had much ‘In common. Doth were diligent students, Both were scholars, in the full meaning of that term; tholr great and favorlt relaxation from the labors of public life was found in the study of something new in the realms of letrning and knowledge, ancient or modern, They had an insatiable taste for scientific subjects, and no time or labor was so plens- antly and gratifyingly expended as the time and Inbor given by them to the discovery of tne new and tho furthor clucklation of tho old. ‘There was hardly a subject, political or soclal, which Mr. Garfield had not tmaastered, or te which he had not devoted tha most careful study, Ile was never too busy, and nover considered himself too wiso, not to Inbor industriously to know more. Ills brary and his study-room were made part of his domestic Ifo, and the researches of scholarship were made part of the pleasuges of his family firestde, Gen. Garfictd was an accomplishad orator, one whose natural gifts-in that particular were mato more effective by all the graces and adornments of cultivation, and fhiproved: by practice and ‘oxperiones. Some of his orations and addresses are models of olc- gunce, and will take place among tho rec- ords of superior eloquence, In this respect he also resembled Mr. Gladstone, who {fs per- Naps tho foreinost orator in Europe, and who, despite his years, is tho tmost: effective speaker In tha Britlsh Parilament, In his knowledge of men and of the motives of fuman action, in his knowledge of the sclenca of government, and in his clear understanding of the vonstitutional functions of tho Governmont of the United States and of itssavernl branches Mr, Gar- -tlotd had perhaps no superior in the Union. Wad he lived and Milled out tha period of official Ifo ordinarily enjoyed bya Pres- ident, it 1s not extravagant to assume |. thathe would have taken rank as the most omlnent statesman fn the world, and, as such, 4 fitting Executive for tho Republic which, In all the olomonts of material pros- perlty, growth, and power, and In its appre- ciation and protection of human rights and Uberties, is rapidly becoming an example to the nations and governments of mankind, a CORNERS. Cornors in grain, corners In stocks, corners In provisions of all kinds, ‘fhe word “cor- ner” Is ns common in the market reportains the word “pork,” ér lard, or wheat, or corn, Jones, It Is sald, ts running a corner In pork, or Smith has cornored tho wheat aarket, Lately some Cincinnations appeared In Chi- cago and manipulated a corner on wheat for Atizust, and did It so successfully that thoy earrted away somo millions of the monoy of the bears. ‘The buars were very much vexed and annoyed, but nobody ole cared anything about it. It was regarded aga good joke, a costly joke, but a good one, oirthebears, Ar, Vanderbilt and afr, Goula, It is generally un- dorstood, are vory familiar with the subject ofcorners on stocks, ‘They.“run down,” so to speak, the atock of n certain railway com: pany when thoy want to buy It, and when they want to sell It they run ity stock up, ‘That ts to vay, they first rob the bully and then rob: the bears, In a .word, they alternately flood and fainlsh the market, utterly pervert ft as an Index of real values, mako It the creature of thelr will, cause it to register one kind of Ile today and 9 dlamut- rically opposit kind of He tomorrow, And they inake a profit out of this sort of manip- ulation—make millions, This fs the way they have amassed thelr colossal fortunes, Corners are not run according to the Golden Rule—oxactly, But if complaints are on- tered agalnat the moral ethics of cornors the wanlpulators of them are ready witn tho counter that nobaily Is obliged to “buck? agalnst a corner, They go a step further and say, perhaps, nay, cettalnly, with truth: “Thy operators ou the other side of this or that cornor would taqucezo" us as frecly as we ‘aquegzo? thom, if they had the power?

Mut there fs a cornor in progress Just now whoso contre ts Lalverpool and London, Bn- gland, which seems to affect the public more direetly than any corner of commergial Inks fury. It ts tho corner on cotton, One Mor- riss Ranger, 1 large speculator of Liverpuol, Is tho hero of this cotton corner, Ife buran to construct his web last year. Mr, Ranger fun bull? splder of the largest dimensions, and the threads of his web are very strons. Already he has entieshed a goodly number, fof fat fles of the bear porstinsion and extorted froit “thom the last penny of blood-money. it. fs a mera question of peneo and halfpence, Mr Ranger bought up alt the cotton he could Iny bis hands on Inst spring at between fivenence and sixpenes a pound, and, having secured control of the market, retired Into a secluded corner of hls web and waited for the bears. Then, when the bears wanted cotton to Ml thelr contracts, the great fat bull spider of the cotton market put tho price up to seven- pence halfpenny, ora tells of 45 per cent ‘The bears wero, ‘of course, very much shocked and very unhappy at this turn in tho cotton market. But who cares? Aro not the bears speculators as the great bull is uspeetilator? Is not it ® mere quarrel be- tween rlyal speculators? Certalnly. But tho bear speculators happen, many of them, te be cotton spinners. It is their Interest to hold the market for cotton down, becauso they are Inrge buyers of cotton. Henes they have combined. to break down ‘tho bull- spider Ranger, ‘Chey aro millionaires, and there are scores of them, and they sny to Mr, Ranger: “ We will not pay you suvenponce halfpenny for your colton; we will stop our | factories first.” And they hayo been quite as goo as thelr word. ‘Thoy have stopped thelr factories, Millions of spindles aro silent and thousands of oporatives are idling away their timo on the corners of the strects, “At Oldham atone wages to the amount of $100,000 n week hayo been stopped.” Be- tween the millonatre cotton spinners and Mr. Ranger it !s s question of profit, Mr. Ranger says to the mill-owners: “Pay mo sevenpenco halfpenny for my cotton or I will starve your milly? And = tho mill owners reply promptly: “Wo accept your challenge, We will starve our operatives rather tin pay you your price,’ ‘The cotton corner promises to illustrate tho criintnality of combinations to affect the prices of commodities better than any corner known to commercial history. If Ranger, tho hull, holds out, and Mossieirs the mill- fonalre bears hold out, there will be such sulfering In the cotton manufacturing dis- tricts of Englant ns was never before known. ‘There will be starvation and riots, and blood- shed will result. And .the sole oceaston of the suffering, the riots, and the bloodshed wlll be tho desire of certaln speculators to mike money, Thero ts plenty of cotton. A ellque of speculators buy It and lock It up in warehouses att hold itatsuch and sucha price, And tho ellque of speculators who happen to bo owners of factories dcclinc to pay the price demanded, and lock out their employés ns & menace to the first clique of speculators. While the rival speculators dispute as to who Is to be shorn, the poor spinners of cotton arg idle, thelr wives beg- gars, and thelr children starving, PROVISION FOR MES. GARFIELD. In the inidst of the prevailing gloom con- sequent upon tho President's death there js at least one cheerful thought—namely: that Mrs, Garilela wil! not have any anxtoty as to her temporal wants to adil to the groat bur- den of hor-grief, Had there been any such anxioty, it would have been n reprorch to the American people, She isin a peculiar sonso the ward of the country, During the brief perlod that she has bean mistress of tho White Houso sho has commended herself to the people by hor nobility and dignity of character, and her heroism in passing through aterrible ordeal of suffering, Lor husband was sinitton down In the midst of his public servico and ata thne when he had brought the whole country closer togethor than it has been atany tine sinew the War of the io- beilion.

Even if he had dived to finish his term and then retired, the traditions of the peopto {n relation to ex-Presldents would not have been In consonahee with his engngthg in public business, and some proviston would probably have been mate so that he would havo been freed from any of the hardahips of {mpeeuntosity, As the ease now stands, the obligation to take caro of his family Iso thousaud times stronger, and every consid- eration of honor dnd Justice strongly apponts te Congress nnd the people to seq toit that the bereaved widow may have the means of living In comfort and of rearing and eiitcat- ing hor children so that they may do credit to the memory of thelr illustrious father, Fortunately there fg reason to bolleva that Airs, Garfield will bo ampty provided for and that sie will nevor have a moment's unens!- néss as to tho wants of herself and fully os long as she Hyves, ‘Tho Insurance upon the President's tife was a gonerous one, and will ‘yleld her $30,000, As in othar cnscs, Congress is bound In honor to pny to her'whatever of her lisband’s salary fs dite for the romalnder of the oficial yenr, and, as tt did In Mrs, Lincoln's cnse, should allow her a pension, No one will questlon the propriety and oven the duty of Congress to assume all the ox- penses of, tho illness, death, and funoral.
