them. General Garfield was somewhat
surprised by the offer. and did not at

the Star Route Ring solid with the new
Administration. He talked the matter
over quietly with Il few confidential

Prospective.

From the day that President
Garfield was wounded, July 2, to
Monday, September 10th, the
day his mortal remains were
committed to their final resting
place he has been the universal
theme Of conversation and the
burden of the newspaper dis
patches. So great was the in
terest manifested that the most
unimportant and trivial details
concerning the presidents illness
were read with the utmost
avidity; the country at large has
been one continuous turmoil of
excitement. Garfield is now
dead and buried, and although
he will live in history, the peo-
pie will soon cease talking
about him. The government
goes on as usual and new topics
will arise to attract public at
tention, prominent among them
will be the trial of the assassin,
Guiteau. who, were public op-
inion consulted, would be hang
ed at the very shortest notice.
The pnblic would not stop to
make any inquiry into his men,
tai condition, but would hang
him on what may very proper
ly be termed general princi-
PIES" and on the same basis
Mason the man who tried to
murder Guiteau would be SIM
ilarly disposed of. The world
is too busy to give itself any
concern about the past, the
present and the future are am
ply sufficient to keep it busy.
With the new president it is
likely there will be a new cab
met, but what the future course
of the administration is to be is
of course only a matter of con-
lecture. 1t may be that Mr..
Arthur will tender his friend,
Mr.. Conkling, a cabinet position,
if so we do not see that Mr..
Conkling is any more to be
feared than Mr.. Blaine, who was
Mr.. Garfeld,s confidential
friend and adviser. in the past
Messrs. Blaine and Copkiing
have been regarded as the Bit
terest enemies of the south, but
neither OF them has latterly
shown any disposition to be
Liberal to the south or her peo-
pie.

SOME of the Glendale, Mo-,
train robbers have been cap
tured and are found to be far
mers and wild young men of
the neighborhood. This, says
the St. Louis Railway Register,
shows that the fault is in the
degraded condition of public
sentiment in certain vicinities,
and there would be no reason
able certainty of the conviction
of the felons. Before a Jury of
the vicinage the robbers would
be dealt with most leniently,
for a fellow feeling makes men
wondrous kind. There is much
truth in this and when a man is
to be tried for murder counsel
for the defense always try to
get men on the jury who have
killed a man themselves.
