Last Saturday evening a mob took a
man out of the Jail and hung him to a tree
in q most brutal manner This occurred
at dusk in the city of Bloomington, in the
state of Illinois A foreigner who had
been reading republican papers only would
at once have said, Illinois must be demo
cratic state, and Bloomington democrat
ic stronghold, for such thing to be pos
sible IF there is any truth in republican
newspapers and republican politicians,
such lawlessness can only occur under
democratic government, and such a mob
must be led by democrats. But strange
to say an exactly opposite state OF
affairs existed. 1t was in republican
city, republican county, q republican
state, We do not from this intend to
draw the inference that the republican
party was responsible for the act; but we
do say that if it had happened in demo
cratic community every republican paper in
the land would at once have traced its
cause to that fact and have howled about
democratic misgovernment and democratic
lawlessness. Tales of southern outrages
had just such foundations. and it has been
a republican principle, to lay the blame for
every crime committed in a democratic
locality on the democratic party; every
crime that is committed in a republican
one, is always attributed to outside calls-

Commissioner Raum has decided that
every person or company having place OF
business where stock, bonds, bullion, bills
of exchange, promissory notes are discover
ed or sold is legally bank or broker, and
capital and deposits are taxable.
This is decision of considerable impor-
tance, and, although not SO much in the
West as in the East, will occasion consid-
erable comment and more objection. Many
a note shaver will be much disgusted to
find himself taxed as a banker, and though
the decision is a just one, the outcry will
be great. The decision was based on the
principles that if a man or company car
ries on a banking business in fact he, O.
they, should be treated as bank, and
taxed as such.
The insurance companies viii feel 1t the
heaviest, as their business is on large
scale, but its importance can now hardly
be adequately comprehended- Many law
suits will doubtless grow out of it, and II
will take a course of decisions to fully es-
tablish its application.

Guiteau has been indicted, it is the first
step on the road to his punishment his
counsel has stated that he would endeavor
to take advantage of no technicality. but
would interpose the plea of insanity.
There is only one difficulty in the way OF
a speedy trial; that OF securing jury.
The American citizen over twenty one
wears of age, who has not heard of the
case and formed an opinion thereon will
be rare bird in the market curiosity
hard to find. Tt seems like a farce, this
trying of a man, whom every man, woman
and child in the country has already ad-
Judged guilty, and in their own minds
fixed his punishment, but the law says II
must be done, and respect for the law is
the foundation of all free governments
So the trial of Guiteau will dray on its
weary length, and when it is finished, the
verdict will be legally returned verdict
which the American people three months
ago made up; and the act of punishment
win be accomplished Punishment how
foolish the word sounds when refer
ing to the disparity between the death OF
the assassin and his victim? But it is all
this world has to offer. The rest must be
looked for in the next.

The star route cases came near proving
vain through the statute of limitations
The Grand Jury had been adjourned by
District Attorney Corkhlll over to date
when it would have beeu too late to have
returned indictments; and had it not been
for the prompt action of assistant counsel
in filing information and asking for bench
warrants; the thieves would have snapped
their fingers at the law This action, while
perfectly legal, had never been resorted to
in the District and was most unexpected
to the criminals who probably believed
themselves safe. The negligence of the Dis
trict attorney in the matter may not have
been criminal he may not have had the
interests of the thieves at heart when he
adjourned the Grand Jury; it may have
been simply carclessness and ignorance;
but putting this most favorable lnterpreta
ton on the action, it certainly shows an
unftness for the place which ought in all
fairness, induce him to resign. These
cases have been before the country for
months, and it would never have been for
given of a public prosecutor to have let
them go simply by making it possible for
the statute of limitations to run in their
favor, especially when it was done by his
own action.

The telegraph states that the sympathies

There seems to be every prospect of the

tigation which it so much needs. Win
dom's enthusiasm in that direction are very
suddenly cold when he discovered that
John Sherman and his candle account stood

days before publicly announced:
what percentage of the profit
which said clique derived from this infor-
nation went to the source of it, is not
known. The Treasury ring had other
habits, habits alongside of which the thefts
of the star route ring were trifles, and q
thorough disclosure would be gladly re
ceived by the country. What pure thing
that administration of the fraud Hayes
vast John Sherman kept his candle &C
count as mere side venture, and that and
such little things as furnishing his private
house at the public expense, and other lit
tie matters of that sort, are so small in COM
parison with the other acts of the ring that
they fade into comparative insignifcance.
Sherman is not in very pleasant position.
The man who hates him above all others
is now in position to uncover all these
matters and from present appearances has
the disposition to do so. He can even have
two irons In the fire at once, and give his
desire to uncover the Treasury ring as a
reason for removing Window, who has
shown no great alaerity in the matter. It
is a sad thought, however, that we have to
depend ON the friendships or enmities of
public men to expose public thefts.

ington Gazette.
That there is a general distrust of Presi-
dent Arthur cannot be denied. It is a
distrust which is most general too, among
Republicans. He was nominated as po
Iitical measure; as likely to be an aid, and
anecessary one in electing the ticket He
was nominated to carry New York, and
not because of any supposed fitness for the
place; and now those same Republicans
are wondering with dismay where that
policy has led them to. There are two
classes of Republican politicians who are
applauding his every act, and protesting
to find nothing but patriotic virtue in the
man-those who are out of office and want
to get in, and those who are in and want
to stay there. The first class are more ol
less constant, because they are principally
stalwarts, and Arthur is nominally head OF
the stalwarts, though Conkling is the
pewer. The second class are and have
been dishonest in all their treatment of tht
President. As Hayes men, they appointed
him when the Custom House trouble frs
originated, afterwards at Chicago the.
nominated and supported him whom the.
had but short time before antagonized
because in that they saw their only hops
of hanging on to the spoils; then when tn

him tooth and nail, and no vituperation o
him was too severe for them to use; AM

er to remove them from their fat offices
they come creeping on their bellies. lickins
his feet and praying him to be patriotic
wise and kind and continue them in thei

of the result of the spoils system.
