our worst fears as regards President
Garfield are realized. There is moth
ing in the present condition of the
country that can be called critical. as
compared with the situation in 1865.
Nor have we any reason to suppose
that Mr.. Arthur would fail to appre-
ciate the responsibilities of his office,
and the duties he would W to a peo-
pie so lamentably bereft of the pTesi-
dent of their choice. There is more
reason to apprehend that the conf
dence necessary to a successful admin
istration would be withheld from him
without much reference to his own
merits and capabilities; in other
words, that he would not have a far
chance. He would enter upon his
office with a nation of tears. His
first s~alutation would be almost
universal regret that he was there
at all. His immediate friends would
be looked upon by many as a faction
seeking to make profit out of a stu
pendous public calamity. His ene-
mics would arm themselves with the
general belief. The utmost conserva-
tism on his part would be necessary
to ward off the most unjust asper-
sions. Circumstances have conspired
to put him in a hostile attitude to-
ward President Garfield or rather,
having put himself in such an atti-
tude, circumstances have c%onspired to
put this fact in a conspicuous light
and TO make it more irksome for him
than for any former Vice-P President
to undertake the duties of the higher
office. His pathway would be a thorny
one at best and could only be made
tolerable by keeping himself as nearly
within the lines marked out by Pres
ident GARFIELD as circumstances might
permit
We believe that these facts will
have due weight with him. He is as
different from Andrew johnson in
temperament and training as the cir
cumstances Of the country are differ
ent from those of Andrew Johnson's
time. He is a man of education as
well as of affairs, of an amiable and
yielding disposition, and hence more
likely to be impressed with the respon-
sibilities of his new station and the
fatality through which it fell to his
lot than a person of narrow mind and
headstrong temper would be. The
duty of the people to him in the
eventof President Garfeld's dea.hwill
be no less imperative and binding than
his duty to them. He viii. be
entitled to the forbearance and conf.
dence due to one who has neither
sought nor expected the presidential
Office, but who assumes it in obedience
to law and under very trying circum-
stances. Mourn as all may and must
for our elected chief if he be lost, the
country has still higher claims upon
us. To see that the republic receives
no detriment ia the first command laid
upon every citizen. The sobriety and
reasonableness which carried us
through the crisis of a disputed presi.
dency will not fail us in the emergen-
cy now so painfully apprehended. In
deed, there would be no occasion for
these words but for the long, linger-
ing strain upon public feeling which
has produced a morbid and unwar-
ranted apprehension of evils which
nobody can define, but which manifest
themselves in the haunts of traffic as
well as in the walks of social life, and
are felt the more keenly, perhaps, be-
cause they are undefinable.

THE DENVER Ne,cs has again elm.
mated its odd column, and resumed
provincial proportions. The Omaha
Herald is the only newspaper
west of the Missouri which can con.
tinuously sustain a EVE column
quarto of the size and character Of
those published in the large cities.
But then the Herdld's circulation
and business is equal to the combined
circulation and business of any two of
its contemporaries between the lakes
and the Pacific. As the recognized
organ of the democratic party of four
states, and which neither suppresses
its opinions nor leaves its politics in
doubt, the Herald obtains a patronage
which enables it to make its pace en-
tirely too rapid for its ambitious con-
temporaries in the west. - Omaha Her.
aid.
For sublime cheek and deliberate
imposture the Omaha Herald is with
out a rival, not only in four states,
but on the whole American continent.
In the first place the Herald is not
the only newspaper west of the Mis-
souri, which can continuously sustain
a column metropolitan quarto;
in fact the Herald has lever yet con-
tinuously or in single numbers pub
lished a s~even-column metropolitan
quarto, because only four of the eight
pages of hat sheet have been any
semblance of a newspaper. The re-
naming half of the great paper" has
at no time been anything more than
a mere patent medicine poster, with
twoI three columns OF patent plates.
In the next place, the great paper
hat claims torepresent the democracy
of four states, and whose circulation
and business beats that of any two of
its contemporaries, has never dared to
publish a sworn statement of its cir
culation.
Even allowing all that the Herald
claims through the American News
paper Directory, which credits the
Herald, on its own report, at
less han 1900 weeklies and the
same number of dailies, The BEE
circulates more than five times as
many wecklies and nearly three times
MS many dailies as the Herqld. In
Omaha where the Herald ought to
have such influence, THE BEE has
four times as many subscribers as the
Herald. But the inflated boaster will
continue to impose or credulous
dupes by claiming to publish tho only
metropolitan paper west of the Mis-
aptiri
