GUITEAU'S INSANITY,

We are not of those who put
much faith in the alleged insanity
of Guiteau. We think the circum-
stances surrounding the horrible af-
fair preclude any such apology for
the deed. He asserts that he had
contemplated the act for weeks be-
forehand. The care and delibera-
ton OF his preparations and his at
tempt at flight certainly indicate an
appreciation, on his part of his act
as crime. If he was mad there
was much method in his madness.
He awaits and watches for his OPP
pOrtunity. He buys new pistol.
He carefully loads it. He chooses
the hustle and excitement of a
crowded railroad depot where prob
ably the very best chances are offer
cd for a successful for escape. He an
ticipated his arrest by preparing let
tiers filled with wild incoherent al
lusions which he knew would, be
considered the writings of an unbal-
anced mind. He gives his motives
for the deed and they are PLAUSIBLE.
If anger and political fanaticism are
insanity then he'is insane. He as
serts he was acting for the good of
the country and the stalwart party.
The murderers of the Gar stated
that their act was a political neces-
sity. Who will assert that they
were insane? His letters read, not
like the unconscious letters of a
mailman, but the premeditated de-
coys of n sane man. We trust such
plea will be found worthless. 1t
would establish a most unfortunate
precedent. 1t would be offering a
premium to political assassins. Such
a treatment of this case would en-
holden men to assume the mask Of
lunacy for the purpose of using the
weapons OF the assassin and the muir
derer TO get rid of their political en-
emies. One such crime, begcts an
other. Crime is contagious. A Sc
we're lesson of swift and sure punish
ment to Guiteau will be a good ex-
ample and prove the best method
of lettering any REPETITION.

"Bson" Toon BIS Dead.

A sad expression was noticed up
on the face of the boys and the Capt,
and there was a sort of vacant some
thing missing kind of look about
the store, as we stepped in the other
day for. few minutes. Inquiry
developed the sad news that bison
Toombsp was dead" "Yes, he's
gone, poor fellow, and we miss him
very, very much, said one of the
boys, and his eye moistened. obi
son" was the best, the smartest dog
that ever lived. He was raised and
had lived at Capt. Crusman's gro
Gerry for seven or eight years past,
and was much beloved by the boys
in the store. He was a handsome
black and white, spotted terrier, and
was conceded to be the most effect
i've STRAIT eXterminator" ever invent
ed. To shake the vital spark from
fifteen or twenty rats every night was
his evening pastime. And then too
he was always on hand. He was
never out of the store, unless with
one of the boys, any one of whom
he considered his master and loved
to run with. Everybody in town
knew "Bison." Everybody will
miss him and regret his untimely
end. The boys at the store were
incOnsolable, for never did Rip Van
Wrinkle worship Shnieder with tru-
err devotion than they loved Bison.
But the manner of his taking off
was the sadest thing. He followed
his namesake and master, Mr.. IT.
ID. TOombs, out to Squire Jack An
dersons last weed, and while there,
in fit of mental alteration, began
TO tickle the hind legs of a mule.
His funeral next day was largely at
tended. He was buried with befit-
ting honor and respect, and his sor-
rowing master planted weeping
willow at the head OF his grave.
The inscription on his headstone
reads: "BisonToombs, aged s years.

HIS PARTY TEACHINGS.

Assassination is so foul crime, SO
abhorrent to the mind of the people
of the United States that they are
slow to think this heinOus and das-
tardly crime of Guiteau's could
have been the result of a factional
conspiracy engendered by the wran-
gle among the leaders of the domi-
nant party of the country. They
rather prefer to take the act as the
desperate deed of a disappointed
office seeker and mailman. This is
as it should be. The fearful sugges-
tions and dark suspicious, which
filled the minds of Mortified peo-
pie on last Saturday morning when
the appalling news was flashed ov-
er the shocked world, ought not to
be encouraged in the absence of
proof, Yet it is truth, plain to
every thoughtful student of the
times, that the deed was the natur-
al and legitimate offspring of the
corrupt and debased spoils system,
which has been the life and sustain
ing power of the republican party
for the last twenty years. Every
man in that party has been taught
to believe that its sole object and
aim is the spoils of office, and that
nothing is too base, no acttO violent
to be done if by such means the par
ty may be retained in power and
the offices. 1t is not wonderful
then that such a man as Guiteau,
weak-minded, debased an outcast
of society, partially insane, BROOD
under some fancied wrong or disap-
pointment from the party from
which he had been taught to expect
something, should become MAIDEN
ed and frienzied and like all men of
his type, seek the williams vengeance
when the highest men of his party
resort to every kind of base means
to secure power and place.

It's with feelings of the deepest
regret that we record the death of
Mr.. W. 8. McReynolds, which oc-
Cured at his residence in this city
on last Wednesday night. Mr.. Me-
Reynolds had been in bad health
for some months and about two or
three weeks since was taken i'll with
fiux, though his condition for sew
eral days was known to be critical,
his friends hoped for the best until
Wednesday night when he sudden
ly took a turn for the worse and
sank rapidly until relieved by death.
Norman will be missed more in our
community, for he was emphatical-
Iva worker in the busy hive. For
thrifty years he has been prominently
connected with the building aud
manufacturing interests of the city,
and to his energy and enterprise she
is indebted for some of her best
works. He has been repeatedly
elected to official position in the
municipal government and as in all
other relations of life, was true to
the end. A consistent christian, an
affectionate father, a kind friend, a
faithful public officer and an ener-
getic, prompt business man. His
Mace will he hard To fill and the
entire community join his afflicted
family in their sorrow and grief in
this sad hour. The funeral was
preached by the Rev. j. ID. Barbee,
at his late residence on Thursday
evening at o'clock, and large
.coneourse of friends followed his re-
mains to their last resting place in
Greenwood.

Their slumbers. were disturbed with
internal eruptions that night.
They were sick, mighty sick. Not
many marched to the breakfast
board aext morning. The sea be-
came rougher that day, and most of
the party d little sicker. A splen-
did dinner was set, the tables
grooming with all the delicacies of
the season, the finest and freshest
fishes from the lakes and seas, trop-
ical fruits, etc. The officers, and a
few passengers who had braved the
briny deep before, together with
about three press men, wereall who
had any appetites. The others
were not hungry they were sleepy.
1t might have been lonesome,
long day on board had ii not been
for the delightful pleasure some of
US more fortunate ones found in
watching the beautiful ship as she
pl6hghed the foaming pillows,
never firing, never stopping, or the
entertainment of scanning the SUBJ
lime expanse of water to catch sight
of some white-winged sail ship far
off at sea. AS evening approached
we neared the bay at Norfolk, and
the sea became calmer The placid
water dispeIled the sickness of the
sea sick ones, and they began to
smile once more and to come on
the outer deck to comment on the
beautiful surroundings. In an hour
or two we were in sight of land,
and soon entered the lovely harbor
at Norfolk. Learning that we
would be compelled to wait until
II O'Clock of the following day,
Monday, we secured rooms at the
Atlantic Hotel and passed the time
most pleasantly taking in the sights
of the city. Boarding the train we
retraced our route homeward, drop
ping an editor here and there until
arriving at Nashville, where the re-
mainder of the Tennessee editors
parted with feelings of some regret.

pleasure tour, we would say. ego

IT will be interesting to know
that by the laws of the District of
Columbia, the punishment for an
assault with intent to kip is only
Imprisonment, for the first offense,
from two to eight years. This pun
ishment will be too inadequate for
the comnunistic scoundrel Guiteau.
The william who, with murder in
heart, makes an assault upon an
other, ought to be confined for the
term of his natural life. 1t makes
no difference whether the victim be
king or peasant.
