ACCOMMODATING QENTJMC-
MENThe -
The fact that some of our most re
spectable citirons have endorsed the
petition for a license to soil liquor for
a notorious resort like the Saint Elmo
affords a striking illustration of the
recklessness with which many of our
hunincM men arc signing potitioni
for everything and ovurjbody. Many
of our business men sign petitions
rjth a reckless disregard of all consequences -
sequences , and it in just as easy to
procure tlioir names to n petition ask
ing the governor or president lo par
don and lot loose on the community
iho most dangerouri criminal , ai it isle
lo got their endorsement to appli
cations for appointment to positions of
trust of men whom they have
refused credit for five dollars. In
fact it hai bccomo a common practice
wilh Homo of our bent business men to
sign every paper except a promissory
note or a pledge for a contribution to
Homo public charity. These accom
modating gentlemcndo not re.ilixo that
they often assume n grave responsibil
ity as endorsers of petitions.
They do not realize that public
men and especially executive ofllcora
often regards these endorsements an
personal requests which they do not
feel prudent to refuse. They do not
comprehend that the signers of u pe
tition to pardon desperadoes and
murderers out of the ponitonliary are
fully as responsible for the consequences
quences of liberating a criminal as
the executive who grants their request
When business men sign the peti
tions to license notorious disorderly
houses or immoral rcsortn , they become -
como indirectly responsible , not only
for thu bad influence oxurto.l by such
disreputable resorts , but for thu vice
mid crime that is fostered in such es
tablishmotits. Wo know the accom
modating gentlemen are very anxious
to plojso everybody , and many of
them cannot muster courage enough
to say no to any request tiiat
only requires them to sign
their immcB to n petition , but
they have no right to bo so accommo
dating when their signatured ailed
thu uelfaru of thu whole community.
What would bo thought of the busi
ness man who would vouch for : i no
torious dead be.it and suindlor as a
man in good standing commercially ,
and yet reputable business men have
vouched for the respectability of Dick
Curry and the St. Elmo. The only
natural explanation in that they have
signed tltosn vouchers thoughtlessly
and without for a moment considering
the gravity of the act. True , the
mayor and hoard have full authority
to reject any application for
license which comes from n
notoriously disorderly resort ; but
that fact docs not exonerate the on-
dnrsors of such applications. When
it is once understood , however , that
inon who m'gn such petitions do BO
with full knowledge that tlioir action
will bo inado public , and when thu.so
accommodating gentlemen compre
hend that they are assuming n dan
gorotts responsibility in signing peti
tions promiscuously , they will exercise
greater discretion in their ondorso-
muntB.
THE MAKCH CONSPIRACY.
Every friend of tlio hvto President
Garfield will iiulignantly rupudiutc
any dofunso of his olliciul actions
based on the tlioory that ho wan n
more "puppet1 in the hands of hie
frionda. Such a plea ia at once an in-
Hult to Ilia niumury nnd a slur upon
Ilia bravo and innnly character.
Tlio charge that General ( Jarfiold was
n weak man wan used before and very
thoroughly exploded during the late
presidential campaign. It wae
again takou up by a faction
of the republican party after his in
auguration as proaidont and contra
dicted to tlioir own satisfaction. Dur
ing the weary throe months succeeding -
ing thn assassination , wliun the pa
tient sufferer lay kittling for lifo , nu
voice dared raise itself to accuse thn
, dying president of n lack of eithei
physical or moral courago. The people
, of the United States wore liardly in a lit
J'tiinor to lintou to such a charge , al
that time. It is a shame and a dis
grace that to-day , while Holdiers nn
Htill guarding thu ilowor-covorod cof *
fin of the dead president
partisan malignity has agair
raised its hand to nt.ib the friends ol
the late administration from behind
the shadow of tlio dead chief , and "t <
excuse the errors" of the president 01
the ground of weakness of charaotoi
and dependence upon tlio opinion o
others , The Now York Commorcia
refers to what it terms "Tlio Marct
conspiracy , " referring lo the nomina
tion of Judge Hobortson. Taking it
cue from Gorham's ' star route organ
m which Bharaofully abused General
oral Garfield during his lifetime
it endeavors to cast odint
a upon Mr. Blaine as suggesting and engineering
iioMl ginooring the change in the New Vor
Ml custom house which resulted in th
resignation of thu New York umiatoi
nt and the assassination of the president
oNo other answer to the charge i
ra necessary than tlio frank and maul
lo letter of General Garfii'ldliichuu ,
us printed a few days ago in these co !
w umns , in which ho declared that th
.n attempt to shift the fight tu All
e lilaino'a uhoulders Mas as weak us i
was unjust , and assorted that Mr
Ulaino's whole influence had boon t
build up and unite the whole party
irrespective of factions. (
Mr. Jlobertson's appoinlrnont was
President Garfield own act. It was
neither suggested or seconded by Mr.
Blaino. General Garficld's statement
on this point is full and explicit.
After an earnest effort lo do full nnd
ample justice to nil sides , after placing
three of Mr. Conkling's friends in his
cabinet , and distribuling every im
portant federal oflico except ono in
New York City to supporters of Gon.
Grant at Chicago , the president ro-
Horvcd the collcctorahip for Mr.
Hobortson. It wai his own not for
which ho never made an apology and
for which his friends have certainly
no reason lo apologixo lo-day
"Conspiracy" is an unapt term to
bo applied lo Iho ovcnt of last March.
Who wore the conspirators , and for
what end did they conspire ? What
were the results of that conspiracy ,
over which the Commercial ia now so
exorcised ? Wo remember thai < n Iho
third of July rumors of another coti
apiraty were rife throughout the coun
try , in which the 11:11110 : of Mr.
Blaine nor these of his
friends figured. But this i probibly
not thu conspiracy to which the Cow.
mereiiil refers. "Public opinion , "
siys Griitoau , "is dunging in our fa
vor. " Perhaps it is. But public
opinion has not changed HO radically
since that "day , only three months
ago , when fifty millions of people
mourned over their dead magistrate ,
that it will either foHtor or applaud
such wanton attacks upon his mem
ory as are now being made by men
who poisoned the happiness of his
hort term of ollicial lifo and exulted
Bccrotly over the outcome of Guiteau's
dastardly deed.
Ouu public lands are rapidly passing
from out of the hands of the govern
ment , Thu land ollico reports that
the arable lands open for pre-emption
will soon bo exhausted , and the st.itu
mont has caused an investigation ,
which shows what every western man
lias known for years that vast quan
lilies of lands have been taken up and
are hold under false pretenses. Th
desert land grab in California , the
everlasting Spanish land grants in
Now Mexico , and the enormous quin
lilies of alleged "swamp" and "over
flow" lands in the south which have
boon grabbed by the land sharks nro
instances in point. Ail those diacov-
oricB scorn suddenly to have Hashed
upon the minds of certain congress
men , although the proas 1ms buon call
ing attention to every ossontinl fact in
Iho cases for years. During Ibis lime
the general land oflico him slumbered
on in peaceful but persistent ignorance
of thu Hcandals affecting its manage
ment. Special agents are now called
for to investigate the subject. Bo-
Iwoon the land crrants to railroads and
the land sharks outside of Iho r.iil-
roads it is a question whether much of
the public domain will bo lofl by Iho
time these ngontB got down to busi
ness.
THE Buffalo Express sums up the
whole matter when it saya "No man
who was in a position to give conf
donlial advice lo President Garfield
would have dared to make a dishonor
able proposition to him. "
Commi'.HS will bo Hooded with
schemes to appropriate cm behalf of
the railroads thu most available sec

plea of necessary right of way. Sena
