Gone. gone from our home. So.
Dear little babe in thy yonthful blcsh;
Parents for their children weep.
Weep that death has laid them low.
God will gather them again -
In his garden they will grow.
Go to thy rest. my babe. -

Fresh roses in thy hand,
Buds on thy pillow laid.
No more we'll mourn the absent b,be.
But lift our earnest prayer.
And daily every effort bend
To rise and Join him there. E. NJ.

$3.50 of the Revised Statutes OF
the United States provides that
every person who commits
murder within any fort, arsenel,

place or district of country, under
the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States, shall suffer death.
The District Of Columbia is under
the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States.
The District Judiciary consists OF
six judges, appointed by the Presi-
dent, either one of whom may hold a
criminal court for the trial of all
ofenses arising in the District 'of
Columbia. As to the point raised in
Guiteau's case, when the death
Of. the murdered person occurs

outside the District limits, the MUIR
derer is not subject to the jurisdic-
ton of the District criminal court
there appears to be no direct statute
covering the case, but section 5341
of the Revised Statutes is as follows
Every person who within any q
the places or upon any of the waters
described in section $3.50, unlawfully
and wilfully, but without malice
strikes, stabs, wounds or shoots at
or otherwise injuries another, 0
which striking, stabbing, wouu ding

| A common sense construction Q
this clause would imply that if tn
crime of manslaughter is complete il
any place under the jurisdiction c
the National courts, no matter wher
the victim dies, the crime of murde
is certainly complete under the sam
circumstances.

THE STRENGTH OF THE GOVERN
MENT,

At the foundation of our system of
free government, false prophets were
not wanted who descanted at length
upon it's weakness, and who unhesi.
tatingly predicted it's early downfall.
This arose from O misunderstanding
of the motives, zeal and determines
ton of our forefathers, and from the
acceptation of the theory that man is
incapable of self government. But
the Constitution was adopted nearly
hundred years ago, and the
best evidence of its strength and
of the wisdom of those who
framed it, lies in the fact that it has
never been changed in any material
degree. 1t has been subjected to
great strains, and the government
has passed through many trying Or
deals, but it is stronger to-day than
ever before, and stands higher in the
affections of the people.
We have passed through one ter
rible civil war, when the hearts of
the bravest and the truest pulsated
with fear and distrust. But the
grand old ship of state emerged from
the storm and sailed on, with the
flag of the Union floating proudly in
the breeze-not spar broken or 6
rudder lost.
And now the confidence of the
people in the strength of the govern
ment is impregnable. The fact that
if our President should die at this
time, he has no legal successor under
the Constitution. creates no alarm
and really provokes little discussion,
is a striking illustration of the con
fidence of the people in their OWL
strength. And this confidence is
not unreasonable. We pray that
no such emergency may arise, but i
in the providence of God it should
come, the wisdom, patriotism anl
common sense of the country would
prove equal to the occasion, and tn
Government would move on withou
serious disturbance. Congress woult
be convened in some way, by procla
nation issued by the Secretary 0
State, perhaps, and President woul'
be chosen to serve until the peopl
could elect another. In the inter
regnum, heads of department
would take care of the va
rious. branches Ct tn
government, and their authorit,
would be unquestioned by the grea
body of the people. The strength
of the government in such an emer
gency would lie, notin the Observance
of forms, but in the determination
of the people to preserve the Unio1
intact, and Republican form O
government. Whatever troubl
might arise this wise, prudent com
mon sense and patriotism is suficien
to carry us safely through

rendered. The end was almost in
evitable; the progress of the case
stirred hopes that were born of
despair. It is useless to speculate on
what might have been; it is but
simple justice to men who have
served this people faithfully to say
that all they did was well done and
thatthey have well earned the graft
tud9 of the nation.
