LIE CdU6E VE Md. GhEEAEX'S DEAT9
Next to maGgning virtuous WOMAN the Chi
cago Times seems to be happiest in striking at q
dead man. In an article under the above cap
tion, it mont tons that Mr.. Greeley had been in
sane from the day he received the Cincinnati
nomination to the day OF his DEATH that he was
very insane when he made his October speeches.
and that lie became moro SO after the October
elections. 4 more cruel and unjustiGab1e stigma
could not possibly be put upon the fame Of the
honored citizen for whom the whole country is
now mourning. There has never been series
Of speeches betraying higher ability, clearer
conceptions, more logical force, condolences, and
vigor delivered in this country than those made
By Mr.. Greeley in his October tour. Tho letter
which he wrote accepting the Cincinnati nom
ination, and the subsequent one addressed to
Senator schurz, we're models Of superior thought
finely expressed. Not only do they answer the
charge Of insanity fully, but there is no evidence
that Nr. Greeley was insane at any period even
OF his illness. Delirium is frequently an accom-
paniment of disease, and always Of the disease
Of which AIr. Greeley died, viz: Inflammation Of
the brain.
The principal cause Of the disease which
produced 11r. Gree1ey's death We judge to havo
been not personal disappointment at tho loss Of
the Presidency, but an overwhelming sense Of
responsibility for the defeat Of those who had,
contrary to rule and precedent, staked their po-
itical fortunes upon him. There is nothing in
the mere defeat Of candidate for the Pregi-
dency to account for 60 sad result. Some
candidate must needs be defeated once every
four years, and oftentimes there are tvo candi-
dates defeated. In the election Of 1sGD there era
three candidates defeated,-Douslas, Bell, and
Breckinridge. The unusual, and to mr. Greeley
the narrowing, circumstance in the prceent case
was, that q large number Of Republicans, inclua-
ing such eminent men az Sumner, Trumbull,
Schurz, Banks, Blair, Julian, and others. had
opposed the nominee of their own party in
party had broken all its traditions and prece-
dents for the same end. The result Of the elec-
tion WAS well calculated to bring upon asensiti7c
nature the most weghty sense Of responsibility,
ThoseWho knew Mr.. Greeley Observation-Disclosures
that his personal loss OF the Presidency had any
poignancy worth mentioning alongside of the
sorrow he felt for those friends who had nobly
cast aside old-time prejudices in order to sup
port him, Or had sundered their party ties for
the same purpose, believing thas they could
thereby best promote the well-being of the coun-
try. Dir. Greeley should have been mado Of
sterneF stuff. He should either have shielded
himself by the reelection that in all this busi~
ness he lad acted from conscientious and
pure motives (as We firmly believe he did),
and that time would yindicate both him
self and those who acted with him;
or he should have wrapped himself up in the
seldshneBs Of the genuine politician, and let
each fellow look out for himself He could
do neither. Large as his brain ues. lis heart

It has long been question as to who shall de-

where two gentlemen Of distinguished poaition
make assertions that are directly opposed, as in

It is probable that the death Of 11r. Greeley,
and the consequent uncertainty as to the vote OF
the minority Of the Electoral College, will re-
7ive the agitation OF the direct vote for Pres
iaent as a substitute for the present system,
with greater prospects Of practical result than
the issue has ever had heretofore.

A juror, in the recent trial Of Andre, in Now
Yort, for killing his wife, which resulted in
conviction for granddaughter, publishes O. card in
which he attributes the impunity of murder to
the pecullarlties of jury-organization. In the
Andre case, seyen we're for verdict of murder
at first, three for insanity, and two for man.
slaughter. The case was one in which the wife's
inddeGty had been clearly proved, and tho juror
states that all, at least one-t1ird, of the jury
held to tie opinion that every man is justified in
killing the adulterer Or adu]teress, when tho
crime is brought home to lis own domestic
circle. The conclusions from this state
ment ara OF the broadeEt character. There
is no reason why the jury in the
Andre case should not be regarded es an average
jury. There has been no charge OR inti1nation
Of corruption, and it was organized from no
special class. Tho same Influences that led one-
third OF this jury to regard the killing Of an
ndulterer or an adultc.rss as justihable would
lead similar proportion OF other juries to main
tain the same belief. Thilo particular juriea
might be found occasionally that would unite in
the opposite opinion, the average result would
be the same in ninety-nine cases out Of every
one hundred We may conclude, therefore,
that SO long as the verdict rests
with the jury, without my special law
in regard to cases Of adultery, that there will be
no more convictions for murder in tie first de-
gree, with capital punishment, in cases Of which
adultery may be regarded as the moving cause.
A still greater danger, however: lies in the cir
cumstance that such acquittals must be based Oh
theground Of - emotional insanity" which opens
q way Of escape for murderers Of all classes who
are defended BY ingenious lawyers.

Just at present, While all the great powers are
at peace, there two little clouds Of war float
ing about, which are as 1udicrous as they are
harmless. The first Of these is 3 difficulty be-
tween Servia and Turkey. The town Of Zoorink,
on the frontier, although belonging to Servia, is
occupied by Turkish garrison, the removal OF
which was promised as far back as 1867. The
promise has never been fulfilled, and now the
servian Government has taken the matter up
with great energy, and refuses to pay the tribute
unless the garrison is removed, to which the
Grand Vizier has replied: ~ should DO sorry to
have to fetch the tribute; F" and there the mat
ter rests. The second is struggle be-
tween the Prince Of Lippe-Detmold
and his people. Lippe-Detmold has Parlia-
ment, to which somewhat important functions
are assigned, but the people won't have anything
to do with it In some dlgtricts no elections are
held, and in others the representatives elected
refuse to attend, and the Prince, therefore, when
he summons his Parliament together, finds moth
ing but empty benches. In despair, he recently
applied to his royal cousin Of Prussia for assist
ance, and, in response: tho Emperor sent him an
able administrator; whereupon the Prince bids
defiance to his people, and now announces that
he will govern them without any Parliament, and
upon bis own responsibility.
Recent adyices received at Washington state
that our common echool system has been
adopted in Sweden, Spain, Japan, and certain
parts Of South America. In Chill, primary
schools have been organized, in which education
is free and secular, which are maintained
by Primary School Society. The
Municipality Of Santiago also main
tains primary schools which are free
but muscular. All of these schools aro grow
ing in usefulness and popularity and accomplish
ing good work. These results, it is claimed
are due to the circulation Of the re-
ports Of our National Bureau OF Education
Their circulation has had similar effect in de-
termining the character OF educational institu-
tions in Sweden and Spain. In japan, the Gov
eminent has appropriated $4,000, 600 for the es-
tablishment there Of primary schools. The an
nouncsment of this important fact is in every
way full Of promise for the Advancement Of
these countries.
