The first message of President Arthur is
a very careful and well-matured docu-
ment its tone more frank and direct than
is customary in such papers, and its recon-
mendations, extensive and varied as they
are show that the President has patiently
reviewed the field of labor so recently and
so unexpectedly opened before him, and
that he is not inclined to shirk the consti-
tutional duty of aiding Congress by his
suggestions and advice.
He favors the abolition of Internal reve-

ering for the last five years with q severe
itching all over. l have heard of Hop
Bitters and have tried it. l have used up
four bottles, and it has done me more good
than all the doctors and medicine they

it was skin sickness. Now, after these
four bottles of your medicine, my skin is
well, clean and smooth as ever.

Guiteau said Monday he would rather
be hung as sensible man than acquitted
as fool. After the display he has made
of his shrewdness and smartness during
the whole trial, he need not fear that the
jury will think him a fool. The alertness
of his intellect are almost phenomenal.
If there are any believers left in the old
theory of demoniac possession, they might
well think him endowed with an internal
intelligence.

MacVesgh has gotten himself into a
snarl He is and is not Attorney Gene
raj. He has rendered his resignation
most emphatically and has made the
announcement that he has ceased to per
form the duties of his office The Presi-
dent on the other hand very provokingly
declines to say whether he has or has
not accepted his resignation, and until
he does Mr.. MacVeagh is the Attorney
General, liable to the duties of the office,
and responsible for neglect of them.
1t may have been in bad taste for MIR.
MacVeagh to fling up his task at an i'm
portant juncture. and it may be in worse
taste for the President to ignore his re-
quest to be relieved, but Mr.. MacVeagh
has no right to expect the sympathy of
the public until he explains why he
abandoned his duties. If he has played
the martyr for the sake of party, it is
cruel for Arthur to treat him so contemp-
tuously. If, on the other hand, he is too
pure to be a party to the immunity of the
star route gang, the country will take it
kindly if he proclaims the fact. MIR.
MacVeagh's promptness in asserting his
retirement and the Presidents stubborn
silence are inconsistent. There is need
0fexplanation. Mr. MacVeagh's 'cheer-
fuluess" and the Presidents sang Jroid
are indisputable, but each has its cause,
and the people would like to know what
they are.
If the President is resolved that Mr..
MacVeagh shall conduct the prosecution
of the star reuters he should make that
fact clear to him. If he has done so, it
is ridiculous to hold Mr.. MacVesgh to a
task which he appears to be unwilling to
perform. If the story be true that comes
from Washington, that Mr.. McVeagh's
zeal in his search for conspirators of
whom Guiteau was the suspected tool. and
the President is fain to make MacVeagh
give an account of his mission, even
then the President might release his con-
tumacious subordinate. There is no
consuming desire for Mr.. MacVeagh's
retention.

Congressman Dezendorf Rep.l of
Virginia, says that the administration
has left to Malone the selection of his
colleague in the Senate. Riddleberger
is his first choice, and has enough Re
publican and Readjuster strength in the
Legislature to secure his election. Rid
dleberger, during the recent canvass,
worked up boom of his own, and De
zendorf is quoted as saying that his cleo
ton is a foregone conclusion. BY the
terms of the contract with the admins
tration he will vote with the Republi-
cans. Lewis, his rival for the Senator

ernor, it is said, viii decline the honor
if not elected to the Senate, and hold on
to the Marshalship, which is worth five
thousand dollars year.

1t is unfortunate for Mr.. Blaine's
vigorous" foreign policy that Ministers
Hurlbut and Fitzpatrick should be at
loggerheads over the Peru-Chili diff
Guilty. But if Hurlbut has any sense it
is difficult to see how he and Fitzpatrick
could be agreed on the plainest PROPOSE
ton. A contemporary remarks that as
Fitzpatrick lost his hat so often during
the war. he has now lost his head. In
the silence of Mr.. Blaine it is fair, as he.
tween the two warning diplomats, to
assume that Hurlbut is right. and that
his instructions warranted him in i'm
pressing Chill with the importance of
Uncle Sam. Unless Mr.. Blaine sets
Hurlbut right we must conclude that his
"bumptiousness" made him forget Chili's
two big ironclads and put him in hole
out of which he must scramble as best
he may.

The Outlook.

A Philadelphia letter of November 10
to the industrial South, published at
Richmond, Va, recites the evidences OF
industrial and commercial activity in the
United States, but contains also sugges-
tions, to be read between the lines, OF
which the conservative fnancier and
trader will take note. 1t is evident that
in many ways our position is firmer than
in 1873. The war is eight years farther
in the past, with its sequences of depre-
ciated currency, inflated prices, a para
lyzed South, and a popular discomfort
extending through many parts of the
country. Yet one is strongly reminded
of that time and of one of its most strik-
ing features in the article referred to:
Consumption has expanded to I'M
heard of proportions. Production is
scrambling after it as rapidly as posi-
bic. The railroad mileage is expanding
beyond all precedent. Last weeks re-
port gives 124 miles of new road, making
), 1853 miles, against 4, GA corresponding
period last year. and 6, 106 same time
1872, the great railroad year. The pro-
iected railroad mileage is about 10000
miles, which will absorb about ], 500, 600
tons rails, and calls for $500, 600, 900.
This is but one item, although the great
est, but it does not include the projected
mileage in Canada and Mexico. Next
year will be one of exceptional activity.
The productive capacity of mills and
furnaces will be taxed to their utmost.
No very serious decline in prices is prob
able because of the extraordinary accu-
mutation of wealth, which will go back
into productive enterprises. Every con-
Germ is oversold for months, and, so far
as can be seen, there is as great demand
still back waiting for its turn"
1t will be remembered that it was to
the putting Of vast sums of money into
the shape of railroads not Immediately
productive that much of the catastrophe
of 1878 was ascribed. But any bad omen
a pessimist might be disposed to see in
the present state of things is offset by
the optimist with the fact that railroads
throughout the country are earning good
dividends, and therefore, it is held, JUS
tify the creation of others.

The announcement that a second at
tempt has been made on the life of
Guiteau is not at all surprising. In fact,
the public long ago came to the conclu-
sion that the government would be
spared the expense and trouble of trying
him. Extra precautions will now be
taken to guard the miserable wretch, but
it is more than probable that if he does
not feel the halter draw a bullet will
reach him. That his last assailant be-
longs to the genus "crank" augurs badly
for Guiteau, for there are hundreds just
enough unhinged to constitute themselves
his executioners, and the next attempt
may prove successful.

The latest example of the tendency {

The latest example of the tendency of
large manufacturing and producing in
terests to combine for the purpose of
advancing prices by limiting production
is furnished by the whisky distillers of
the Western States. They have organ
lied pool, and propose to cut down
production at least one-half, until the
surplus stocks on hand are exhausted
and a sharp demand allows an advance
of prices. 1t is quite possible that the
distilIers have another object IN view
viz, repeal of the whisky tax. There is
an opportunity for effective work by
them. The protectionists, in order to
retain the customs duties which are to
their profit, are open to overtures for
combination with the whisky distillers.
They can play into each others hands.
Repeal of the whisky tax will suit the
purpose Of each. The Western distillers
are evidently aware of their opportunity.

All things considered, probably there
4 no more meritoriously conspicuous
gentleman in American politics to-day
than he whose name heads this article.
Although still a young man he stands
before the country as one OF the brightest
intellects of the age, fact which his
recent contest as the standard bearer of
Democracy and honesty in the Old Do
minien has fully established. True, in
that contest he was beaten, but when
it is remembered that, almost single
handed and alone. he wsged his
warfare for honesty and intelligence
in the government of his State against
the whole Federal administration and the
money of the Northern Radicals-treely
poured out to secure the success Of repu-
diation in Virginia-and further that he
had to face at the beginning OF the con-
test solid negro vote of about 10000
against him, and that he was, after all, only
defeated by majority of less than 10000,
it must be acknowledged that his defeat
was substantially q victory. Under the
circumstances, we doubt not that
there is scarcely man OF real
worth and true manhood in the United
States who would not to-day prefer to
be Daniel defeated than Cameron sue
cessful, for though but thirty.nine years
of age his reputation as splendid ora
tor, man of ability, and above all, a
heightened, honorable gentleman, with
out fear and without reproach," is
already national.
We are no hero worshiper-far from
it-but we do believe that if he lives a
brilliant future is in store for this young
and worthy Virginlan. 1t will be a long
time yet before the South can expect to
be able to take a commanding position
in the affairs of the republic. So long
as the spirit Of money worship which
now rules the country prevails, so long
as shoddyism is rampant in the land,
and so long as she remains under the
curse of poverty, the South must expect
to act subordinate part in American
history. The time will come, however,
when this will all be changed. At some
period of the future, integrity and intelli-
gence must be recognized as superior to
mere vulgar wealth, aud then the South
will, as in days gone by, be called upon
to furnish competent pilots to direct the
helm of the ship Of State. And when
that time does come, we predict that
if he is still living, as in the ordinary
course of nature he will be-high rank
in the estimation of his fellow citizens
will be spontaneously accorded to Hon.

The New Orleans Picayune suggests
that if there is to be a game Of State
making in order to secure ascendancy in
the Senate the Democracy have de-
cided advantage. When Texas was ad-
mitted to the Union in 1845 it was with
the stipulation that its territory might be
divided into four more States Of conve-
nient size. Texas has population of
/, 597, 500 and an area of 274, 1855 square
miles, enough for five States larger than
Pennsylvania. If the consent of Texas
could be obtained four more States could
be added to the Union, all with much
larger populations than the Territory OF
Dakota, out of which it is proposed to
make State, and the Senate could be

The discovery in Cuba of a $40, 000, 900
robbery by certain tax collectors is the
mammoth crime of these days of defal-
cation and embezzlements. In order to
accomplish this theft, part of the tax
lists was stolen, and ten years ground
rent on certain estates belonging to the
government was collected by the thieves,
who kept fifty per cent. to themselves.
The extent of their crime was ascertain
ed by the accidental recovery of the off,
cial tax lists.
