JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a sacrl
flee to the spirit of faction and of
the spoils system. Although this gen
tie, kindly man was not of the Loroic
stuff that martyrs are made of, his
blood became the seed of better things
in our politics.
Rarely if ever has a president taken
up the burden of the office with a larg
er measure of good will from the peo
ple, regardless of party and of fac
tion, than flowed out to Garfleld as he
stood on the steps of the capitol in
the sunshine of his inaugural day, the
picture of robust American manhood
in its prime. His first kiss, after kiss
ing the Bible in the presence of a
multitude of witnesses, was for the
aged mother, who, in a forest hut, had
started him on his way to the White
House and who held a place of honor
beside the schoolmate sweetheart who
had been his faithful companion all
along the road.
"'One thing though lackest yet,' and
that is a slight ossification of the
heart," John Tay had written to the
president-elect. This lack was fatal.
Had his heart been harder, Garfield

would have made his administration
wholly his own, lifting it above fac
tions, and he might have lived through
a prosperous term. Instead, he re
mained his few months in the White
House what he had been in congress,
a lieutenant of Blaine, whom he ap
poinlted t'o the secretaryship of state
"with the love of a comradeship of
eighteen years"-andl v,''ho became at
once the power behind the throne.
The only president to step directly
from the capitol to the White House,
he was without executive experience or
tastes. His whole training had b~een
to dlebate rand compnromise, not to act
or dleeide on his sole responsibility.
Garfiold himself was rather indiffer
ent to factions, liking to get along with
all men. HeI appreciatedl Conkling's
reluctant but timely support in the
campaign and invited him out to Men
tor in the winter to talk over the New
York patronage, He thought of invit
ing him into the cabinet itself, until
Blaino whispered no.
Less than three weeks after he toek
his seat, Garfield toldl the senator that
ho was not yet ready to consider the
question of filling the New York of
fices. Only 48 hours afterward, he fill
ed them, nominating for the highest of
those ofmces Blaine's best friend and
Conkling's worst enemy in New York.
With Garfield's hand, Blaine had
thrown down the gauntlet to the
haughty chieftain of the "Stalwart"
clan andl a duel of factions was on in
blind fury. The administration suc
ceeded in beating Conkling in the sen
ate, where he opposed the confirma
tion of the offensive nominee. But the
senator andl his colleague, Thomas C.
P'latt, resigned their seats and appeal
ed to the New York legislature. to re
elect them as a vindication of their
course.
When the conflict was bitterest and
when the "Stalwarts" were losing at
Albany, a disappointed place hunter at
Washington, Charles 3. Guiteau, con
ceived the mad Idea of saving the sit
uation with a pistol shot, and he posted
himself at the railway station, where
his victim was to take a train for Mas
sachusetts. The president was going
back to WIlliams college, the goal of
his struggling youth, and was smiling
like a boy off for a vacation as lhe
entercd ine waiting room at thme rail
way station with Elaine at is side.

Bank 'Keeps Gold Under Water.
No other bank in the world is pro
tected-as.the Bank of Ingland, writes
William S. Walsh, who collects odd
bits of information. This unique pro
tection Is due to an artesian well in
the bank. This well supplies the bank
with its water independently of the
rest of the city ; It is 400 feet deep
and supplies 7,000 cubic feet of water
anl hour.
The bullion department, which holds
the ingots of precious metal, is nightly
submerged in several feet of water by
the action of special machinery. Any.
One attempting to rob the bank, then,
must ho an expert swimmer and (liver.
In the morning the water is pumped
away and the ingots are readily ac.
cessible again.
hlowever, tihe water still protects the
other departments of the hank. lIt
supply is almost unli11mit ed, thle bank
