They Will Never Resiga.
Some mon may boast of wolght of brain,
And some of honor true and fine;
But Senators that Mr. Blaine
Roe tows are each one of a b train
That never, never will resign.
One aya be means to legislate
To serve big private business ends;
The other takes his dooc at straight.
And SHY8 that he will fix a slate
To largely benefit his friends.
Though dark may be the clouds, and thick,
The aun of patronage must shine;
So both theso heroes moan to stick.
And of the spoil to take their pick;
And never, never will resign.
No public censure can avail
Their patriotic aims to foil ;
Each means to till his little pail
And got, whatever else may fail,
Ilis private portion of the SK)iL
No kicks or blows can drive away
These slock and nowly fatted kine.
What if tho feed be corn or hay?
They like it, and have come to stay,
And never, never will resign.
No sense of honor, finely strained,
Their little souls will fret and vex ;
Tho yoke that better men disdained
To such as they is something gained,
And neatly fits their docilo necks.
When senseless spite and bitter hate
With great monopolies combine,
Men who are neither good nor great
Are b(X8ted upward in the State,
And never, never will resign.

WHAT, W1IRX THE PIIKSIDEST
UET.H WKIif.?
Tho recovery of President Garfield
is an assured fact, relying on the testi
mony of his attending surgeons and
physicians, and that the mattef of a
short time. There is no disguising the
fact that we have reached an epoch in
t lie history of representative govern
ment, and those who saw it and hesitat
ed to talk about it, because the people
were greatly exercised over the danger
ous condition of the President of the
Republic, are now beginning to ask the
question what, when the President
gets well ?
One thing is certain, there will be
great rejoicing. People of all States
North and South will set apart one day
of Thanksgiving that the life of the
President has been spared.
But shall we have a President; will
James A. Garfield elect to be President,
in the sense that he will be honored by
the whole people' on that Thanksgiving
day? Will he assume the active duties
of the office again as the Chief Execu
tive, or as the leader of an Administra
tion, the Administration, in fact? It is
a question of vital importance; the so
lution may be weeks, and perhaps
months in coming, but come whenever
it may, we must expect either to tide
over a critical epoch, else be plunged
deeper and still deeper into difficul
ties. When a disappointed office seeker
sought to take the life of the dispenser
of public patronage, he directed his
shots at the representative in power of
a great party, in whose hands, directly
or indirectly rested the authority to
commission those in whom is vested the
conduct of the different departments of
government. That party leader, the
alloter of spoils, had been chosen Presi
dent of the "United States.
It may have been in part due to sen
timentality that the people as a whole
regarded tho victim of the attempted
assassination as the President, losing
sight of the fact that he had not been
the choice of a minority that number
many thousands of voters, and mil
lins of people. No matter what en
couraged or fostered this belief, the in
mate of that sick chamber in the White
House is spoken of, and thought of
only as the President.
Will he be President when he gets
well? Will President Garfield be more
than President in name; will he immor
talize himself by breaking away from
old traditions and refuse to act as a par
ty chief? He has such claims on our
sympathy that he could afford to tread
in the beaten path of his immediate
predecessors without jarringf aith in that
Fourth of July period that "we have
the best government under the sun."
But no other man could do what he can
dare do, if ho but choose.
The events of the past few months,
culminating with the dastardly at
tempt at assassination by the creature
Giteau, have led the American people
t o justly demand one thing civil ser
vice reform. This must be insured, or
there is no counting ttie cost of a refu
sal to assure, what to us in this day
would be an innovation.
The spoils system must de discarded
It rests with the President, acting as
President, to cure the evil, for, as the
Chicago Times admirably summarized
it recently:
"So long as the President, pronerlv
holding the appointing power, is also
minister of a party, there is do device
of legislation, no prescription of Sena-
tonal wisoom, no executive order, no
resolution of Congressmen or constitu
encies, no schoolmaster contrivance of
dilettante civil-service reformors, that
win cure the spoils-disease.
What, when the President gets wellP

"THE ALMIGHTY CHIP."
Tb Great America IasUtatUn and
1U Basaiflcatlsra..
"Beloved brother citiaens, both male
and female! Our great and beloved
country is in imminent danger. The
almighty dollar as our great national
symbol is functus Officio. In its place
the Almighty Chip reigns omnipotent
Our great continent, with its green ex
panses of prairie and its mountain pla
teaus, haa become the card table of the
world. On its surface are played gi
gantic games of skill and hazard. It
was with one eye upon our future that
the late William Shakespeare said,
Men and women are only players.'
Here men and women are not only play
ers, but they have grown to be players
of the most desperate and reckless tem
perament. The stakes which are put
ud on the cranio exceed calculation.
But, my friends,, don't make the mis
take of supposing that they are playing
wun anyining dui cinps. it is iuv iciu
of the Chit) that we have all been sub
ject to. No matter whether it be the
blue, the red. or the white the mon
arch of the moment is the Almighty
Chip. ' -
"The Almighty Chip, fellow chip
pizens, is the standard and the incen
tive of every American industry and en
terprise. W hat ever is done from one
end of this erreat continent to the other,
is done on strictly sober, and therefore
on strictly chip principles. No matter
in what direction you turn your eyes,
vou see business, society, politics, di
plomacy, art, everything, regulated by
the Almiirhtv Chip. The very vocabu
lary of the srames of chance supplies us
with our figures of speech, with our
most nervous and energetic ideas. In
diplomacy, when we threaten Spain
with a naval war, we 'bluff on a low
hand' of ten leaky ships. In politics,
Mr. Conklins. in a moment of sulki-
ness, 'cashes his chips,' and when he
wants to be readmitted into the game
at Albany they 'raise the ante' on him.
In building our railroads we 'put
up a blind.' In our commerce, tne
monopolies, 'with a straight leg'
islative flush,' rakes the pot.'
In our law courts we are
just as likely as not, when we discard,
to 'draw a knave.' In society we over
dress and over-display in order to 'see,'
or be 'seen.' The plaintiff, who has a
food lawyer has a 'right however.' The
efendant who controls a judge has 'a
full hand.' The old honest system of
'watering stock' is now called 'ringing
in a cold deck on original snare-iioia-ers.
Even our catch phrases succumb
to the same influence. If a young man
- i il i 1 1 1 t V Í
resemuies nis iainer ne is cajieu a onip
of the old stack.'. Even death itself en
joys no immunity from these profane
pnrases. a man no íoneer uies. no
'passes in his checks.'
"Down in the street the Almighty
Chip is absolutely paramount. f h
games of commerce, politics, or socie
ty are played with mere counters. Some
persons put up nothing but blue chips ;
others never venture beyond the red;
and others again are restricted to the
disk of humble white. In some places
the Almighty Chip is of aristocratic
ivory; in others, of plebean bone; else
where, perhaps, ot cneap, illusive coun
terfeit celluloid. In Wall street the Al
mighty Chip is always of paper nice,
clean, slick, well-printed paper,
very often with an evident water
mark. But none the less, it is all chip
and no monev. Beware, fellow citizens!
We are on a dangerous path. Protect
yourselves from the evil influences of
the time by solid religious culture.
Those of you who happen to be working
in Wall street snouid protect tnem
selves bv nuts and calls. Everv one
has to chip out now and then. I have
to chip out myself sometimes, but I do
it pently. Don't stake your chips and
afterwards put them all up on one
card. Play small, if you have to play.
We have hard, troublesome times
ahead. The country is great and pros
perous. but its people are altogether
too rash and venturesome. Hold your
horses, as our wise loreiatners did, vni
va piano va sano, said the the immortai
Danta. That is a maxim I have always
stuck to, m spite of the seductive gam
bling propensities of some of my asso
ciates. So far I am ahead of the game,
but no one knows where I may land
when they go on gambling as high as
they do nowadays in Wall street.
Chips, too, want a rest like every
thing else. Don t handle them all the
time. Give them a rest. Go to the
country. Take a milk diet; it is good
for the liver. Take some lemon juice
occasionally; that is also good for the
liver. Be good, pious, go early to bed,
lock your chips up, and for a while
keep away from stocks.'
