President Garfield Assassinated.
''Prcsident Garfield was assasnatcd yes
tcrday at Baltimore" Oh, how those
words rang in my cars as | was. enjoying
the quiet Of the Sabbath and the boauti-
full view from the window OF my hotel in
Big Stone City, from which the lake could
be seen gmme.ing i'll the bright sunlight
Is it true has another good man fallen Il
victim to hellish fanatacism? Must the
annals of American History be again
stained with the blood of Il martyred pres
ident? Why is this, is our boosted rcpub-
lican form of government yet SO soon to
prove what foreign dcyotccs of royalty
long since predicted "only an cxperiment"
to crumbe into anarchy and chaos before
reaching the age that ancient republics at
tanned
When Lincoln fell, pierced by an assas-
ms bullet the nation was startled, griev-
ed, and the vast armies not yet dispersed
from the rally of an internccinc war were
hard to be restrained from annihilating the
conquered foes, but cooler Judgment pre-
vailed and all were spared save few slls-
pectcd and proved guilty OF the act The
first record of an American official assaSsi-
nation was made, and incurred, but not
forgotten, and now when peace and pros
perity reign throughout the land, when
the lapse Of years is fast restoring the bus
mess, commercial and social relations that
had been shattered and broken by the
tramp of war, the lightning bears to star
tied world the terrible news, Garfield has
been aesas;natcd. Murdered for what? !or
his principle? for his craftsmanship? be-
cause he bore the highest honors the world
can center upon a man?
1t seems almost impossible to recon ;ilc
the fact, with the guardian care of an all
wise Providence. Have we communis-
tic or nihilistic spirit samong our people
that is fostered and cherished to such an
extent as to form the fallacious belicf that
by numbering an executive, an equal dis
tribution Of mems tolls and and gains will
occur Have we a poltica! clement that
sanctions murder and assassination as a
means Of its advancement, or suppression
OF an opponent power, if 50 the sooner it
is cradicatcd Tie better. If an elevation
to the position Of Pre- .ident of 50,00O,000
enlightened and progressive people is tobe
the victim Of a martyr to principle and a
victim Of a debascd hcE-bo"n conspiracy,
better establish empireism, a monarchy,
surround the throne with bayoncts, and
render the approach impossible.
Bat this cannot be, this republic caused
800 much b!oodshcd, too many valuable
lives have been SACRIFICED, and too good
principles lie at the foundation for a sur
render to the Vaccinations Of an e7il com
bination, that seeks aggrandizcmcnt thro'
foul and murdcrous means. Sad as this
is, world mourns, and the nation so ter
ribly afflicted will surely rightthc grevianc-
cs, and as the Psalmi8t says,
Just, to let thy Father do,
What he will
Just, to know that lie is true,
And be still.
Just, to trust Him, that is all,
Then the day will surely be,
Peaceful, whatso CT beiall,
Bright and blessed, calm and free. -

There is a prospect that orthe first time
since 1851 the Post Office Department. will
at the close of the present fiscal year be
able to show a balance of receipts over ex-
penditures. Already Postmaster James,
by his exposure and suppression of postal
frauds, has effected saving Of 81, 900, 900,
and as the deficiency last year exceeded
this sum by only about 1915, 200, it is
highly probable the postal service will pay
its own Way.
