LrNrER ATTACHMENTS TO GINS.

With linters aud hullers attached to
gins. the value of cotton seed would be
greatly enhanced. The savings of the
hnters would be quite profit, and they
would prepare the seed for the hullers
so that the hulls would have a greater
value for mixing with the meal as food
for the stock The kernel, when hulled,
could be sent to the mills and the oil
pressed out. and when done the cake
could be returned To the plantations.
The oil would probably pay the trans
portatiou both ways and other expenses,
especially il a barge line for the trans
portation should be inaugurated
hope the members of the association
will give this branch of the subject
their serioUs attention, and believe that
good profit would result from IT.

The Apache Outbreak.

The news of the outbreak by the
Apaches will send a thrill of horror
through the whole country. 1t will
suggest to the general government also
that this last Indian disturbance is no
trifiing matter which can be put down
by a mere handful of troops. The
present outbreak seems due to the pre-
dictions of medicine man." who led
the tribe to believe that the time was
at hand to drive the whites from the
Indian country thing which the av-
erage Indian is always ready to try on
the least provOcatiOn. 1t is supposed
too that there was treachery on the
part of Indian scouts. Whatever the
cause of the war may be, the govern
ment will doubtless take prompt action
to avenge the death of its own war
riors. Certainly the safety of its citi-
zens in the Indian country demands
that its action be prompt and to the
point.
Hostilities in the Apache country,
now - or ID years old, center chiefly
upon the marauding habits of scattered
groups of Indians spread over southern
Arizona and New Mexico, and whose
hostile remnants number now 1900 to
400 souls, the scanty population of a
small New England hamlet, with Il
fighting force third as large, but able
to inhict defeat which will figure in
the history of nation of 50,000,O00
Trouble with this tribe began before
the war, and they have never been
thoroughly subdued; nor will any
peace with them be certain until they
or ut least the hostile portion of them
are crushed.

Public Opinion.
NO CAUSE FOR ANY ALARM.

But when people assert that in case
of the Presidents death, nothing but
the life of the Vice President stands
between us and confusion or even
anarchy, they talk altogether wildly
Vice president Arthur's first act, if he
were called to succeed President Gar
field, would probably be to convene
Congress, and with Congress once in
session all difficulties would be at al
end, for Congress has full power to
provide for such emergencies, and pub
lie feeling throughout both parties
would not tolerate any other than pa
triOtic action Boston Journal.
A SUGGESTION CONCERNING INABILITY
The eXtricatiOn of the administra-
ton is becoming daily Il more and
more pressing subject of discussion
with the cabinet, and some of the
views which have been advanced are
already reflected by the newspapers
with more or less truth. Whether the
president can delegate his authority 10y
kind of power of attorney to the vice
president is a delicate question, upon
which the cabinet are apparently 10y
no means agreed. We should very
much prefer to see such an expedient
sanctioned or advised by Congress be-
fore it were adopted. President Gar
field might with prOpriety call SEES
sion of Congress to meet in twelve
days. In twenty five days a law could
be framed to meet the emergency, OF
if the president were at that time too
feeble to sign a bill, Congress could
sufficiently prescribe the course which
it deemed best by joint resolution
While probably Mr.. Arthur would ac-
cept power at the wish of the presi-
dent, it is stated that so long as the
president retains his faculties he would
decline to come upon the mere sum-
mons of the cabinet. Mr.. Arthur is
evidently disposed to act with great
and commendable Caution Spring

The Presidents Removal.

The story of the Presidents removal
from Washington to Long Branch,
which we CLEAN from press dispatches
and publish in another column, will be
interesting to readers, since the alb
sence of any serious disturbance as a
result of the journey indicates that the
case is IA very encouraging one. This
move has been made Y the surgeons
as last resort, to save the Presidents
life if possible by escaping from the
malaria which infests Washington
more particularly during the fall
months and thus far the expedient
seems to have been wise one, liable
to result in the restoration of Mr.. Gar
field to health and strength. The jour
ney was a remarkable one, and perhaps
never before has the like been attempt
ed and successfully accomplished. Ii
was a matter of life or death. The
President had not gained in strength
for many days, and was liable to die il

more than die if he was moved, and

The condition of the national finan-
