Perils Of the Crisis-FOreWarned is
TO be FOreaTmed.

Whether the attempt to assassinate the
President of the United States on Satur
day last was made by a mailman or by the
instrument of a foul conspiracy, it is
none the less a crime destructive of the
public tranquility, and dangerous to the
general welfare. 1t threatens the sta
bility of the principles on which our
form of government is built, and is con-
sequently direct offense to every citi-
zen of the United States without distinc
ton of party who maintains the tenets
of Democratic Republicsnism. The
crime is against the people of
the United States and the good
order of their society, organized under
the Declaration Of Independence of July
4th, 1916, and the Constitution and
Union of 1887. Unfortunately, too, the
crime has been committed at a period of
tactional political excitement growing
out Of the exercise by the President of
his preTOgative 10 nominate the officers
of the United States, and which agita
ton is revolutionary. Still more Ca
lamitous is it, that in the event of the
death of the President and the possible
disability OF the Vice President, there
is no President pro tenn. Of the Senate
the Vice President having broken down
the customary right of the Senate to
choose one by occupying the chair to
the last moment and adjourning the
Senate HIMSELF, and no Speaker of the
House Of Representative, thus leaving the
routine of executive duty to be perform
ed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, until the Secretary Of State can
issue his warrant to the State Executives
and Legislatures, appointing a day for
choosing electors for President and
Vice President, and the day on which
the electors are TO cast their votes,
etc, all requiring time, during which
the liberty, independence and free
dom of the country may be in jeopardy
Guiteau may be crazy, or may be tool
of conspirators. But JorewGrned by the
fate of Mr. Tilden's election, and by the
frauds in New York and Indiana, in the
last Presidential election, it is well to be
f0reqrmed to meet any contingencies that
may hsppen-particularly when we re-
call the fact that Mr. Garfield is the only
impeachment in the path of the whisky
rings, star route thieves, and other "stsl.
wart" scoundrels, to control the govern
ment. As history repeats itself, vigilance
is, at this time, especially, the price of
liberty

session. The programme is one of great
attraction for those teachers who still

We will have in our midst one of those

loved profession, of which some of us
have read with interest, but have not
been able to attend. We have it.,

brethren Of the Northern, the Middle.

go to meet them, not at the Threshold.

EXTREMELY DANGERoUs.-In an
article on the weather, which will appear
in the Southern Farmers Monthly for
August, Prof. George r. Gather, of Ala
bama, says: The electrical storm inter
walls are now extremely dangerous. There
is a viciousness in the lightning dis.
charges never seen before. 1t almost
staggers one to look at cloud from
which come these emanations of natural
wrath. The red hot blaze has an angry
look, and threatens instant destruction in
its touch. The smallest clouds seem to
be loaded with this element of Gre. The
reports from different sections of the
country visited by storms indicate that
facts, or results, justify conclusions from
appearances. These are times for an
epidemic of 'Eleclrophobia'-a disease
very common in ordinary times Of the
electrical excitement of the elements"

THE REVISED TEsTAMENT.-Episcopal
Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania, has
issued a pastoral letter to the clergy of
his diocese, in which he says; Having
been asked by some of the clergy of this
diocese as to whether they might not use
in the public services Of the church the
newly revised version of the New Tesla
ment, think it best to state that, as the
General Convention of the Church in
1928 adopted King James version of the
Bible as published by Eyre & Straher as
the standard edition, and incorporated
their action into what is now canon IS,
title of the digest, no clergyman is at
liberty to use any other version in his
public ministrations. The church
having taken careful and deliberate
action, and that action having been the
law of the Church for over fifty years,
no clergyman will lightly violate the
canon to which he has promised ODE
dience"

The question of British Confedera-
ton, union of all the British islands
and colonies under one Parliament, 10
which each province shall send men,
bers. is again being discussed as one of
the safest and surest modes of preserving
the integrity of the British empire. This
condition of affairs exists to-day in
France, where not only Algeria, but
Senegambia, French Hindustan and
Cochin China send delegates to the
Assembly. An English Parliament or
ganized on such basis would be more
than clumsy; it would be wholly i'm
practicable and impossible. Ireland
complains that the London Parliament
cannot do it justice, because it does not
fully understand the situation in Ireland
and, moreover, that it has not sufficient
time to devote to Irish affairs,
and yet the relations between Ireland
and Great British are a thousandfOld
closer than those between India and Eng.
aud. This Capitalization scheme will
evidently not work for many years to
come.

Our postal money order system will
be seventeen years old next November,
and whether it is regarded merely as a
means of accommodating the public or
as a business venture, its success has
been notable. During the latest fiscal
year more than seven million of orders
were issued, the amount of money thus
exchanged exceeding eight hundred mil
lion dollars. This side of the account
shows how great a convenience the sys-
tenn is to the people. On the govern
ment and business side of the account
the results are equally satisfactory. The
fees received for transmitting the seven
million orders amounted to $917, O91,
while the cost of transmission amounted
to 1858. 516. leaving a net profit on this
branch of the postal service to the gov.
eminent of $257, 575.

That great fusion" movement that
was going to rend and tear the solid
South to the full satisfaction of the Re-
publican harpies, who want to feed on
the substance of its people, is fast disSi.
pating into thin air. 1t was to do mar
velous things in Mississippi, and yet it
has been formally abandoned at this
early day, and Mississippi is already re-
signed to the safe embrace of the De-
mocracy. Fusion" shows no threaten
ing front anywhere except in Virginia,

tested against by large body of the Re
publican party that it will be found

The Depths Of Depravity at Albany
Growing Deeper.

A painfully immoral tale comes from
Albany concerning ex-senator Platt. 1t
is of the kind for which ex Senator
Conkling has contrived to make himself
notorious. In the case of Platt there
was no Infatuated husband with shot
gun as at Canonchet, but there was
vulgarly discovered episode at an Albany
hotel, lacking the elegant refinement of
Conklings escapades; and so brazen that
Plat has been compelled to retire from
the field as a candidate for re election to
the Senate. Conkling manages those
things far more skillfully; but his insig-
nifcant feIlow-resigner is probably not
to be so very much blamed that in his
efforts at imitation of the lordly Roscoe
he has so signally failed in this particu-
lar to write himself down; "Me too, t.
platt.
Abiding to this scandal, the details OF
which, as given in the dispatches, are too
gross for publication, the Rochester
Adoertiser says:

called with the sckeniug sight of recital in the

Large as the annual product of the
precious metals now is it is significant
that the amount is less by $75,000.-
900 than in 1853. Statistics on this sub
ject, however. are not accurate. 1t is
estimated that last year the total
product of gold in the whole world was
$11S. 900, 600, nearly half of which was
mined on the continent of America
The product of silver was $94, 900, GOO,
Of which $40. 600. 900 was produced in
this country. The grand total of pre-
cious metals was $212, 600, 600. an in
crease, as compared with the three pre-
ceding years, owing mainly to the activ-
ity in silver mining here. In 1868 the
total value of the product of precious

was $685., 600, 900.

Hopes and Fears for the Life Of the
President.

Anothec day of painful suspense, in
which hopes and fears have alternated,
as the bulletins from Washington an
nounced the varying condition OF the
President has passed, and our latest
night dispatches. while hopeful give
us no assurance that the danger Is
over.
The national anniversary, which, I'M
der other circumstances, would have
been observed with the usual de-
monstratious and festivities. was for
gotten in the general sorrow and anxiety
which pervades the public mind, and
the day passed off quietly.
1t will be observed that the latest Off
cial bulletin closes with the statement
that 'the Presidents condition is criti-
cal, but there are indications of the
abatement of the unfavorable symptoms.
This announcement, taken together
with the dispatch of our special CORES
pOndent, whose opportunities for obtain
ing knowledge of the true condition OF
the President, and the best opinion in
regard to his case, affords but slight
grounds on which to base hopes of g
favorable result.
Nevertheless, let US hope that the most
favorable anticipations of the physicians
will be realized, and that the dawn OIL
another day may find the dreaded crisis
safely passed and the sufferer out Of
