THE MICHIGAN SUFFERERS.

Under recent date the mayor of
Port Huron, the chairman of the Michi-
gan relief committee, writes that they
have received all the clothing needed.
The things now most in request are
bedding, underwear, provisions, grass
and clover seed, tin-ware, tableware
and money" The cash received up to
date was $4,000, but the needs were
still great. The generosity of their fell
low-countrymen has inspired the suffer-
ers with new hope, and they are busily
engaged in building new houses. What
they can do for themselves in this way
they are doing, but in spite of all they
can do there will be fifteen thousand
people to house and feed during the
winter, and to do this will require lib
eral contributions from the people of
east continued some months. Their
case is much harder than that of the
Chicago sufferers ten years ago, because
the latter were in the midst of a rich
and busy city, where employment was
abundant, and self-support for all who
were able and willing to work was easy.
But these Michigan people have no
means of earning anything Their
work, done on their own lands in re-
building their homes and preparing
their fields for future crops, brings them
neither money nor sustenance until the
crops ripen next year. Their neighbors
are as destitute as themselves, so that
them cannot work for hire. It is the
duty of their fellow-countrymen whom
God has blessed with abundance to
carry these poor people through the
winter, and they must do it.

ARREST OF PARNELL.

Mr.. Parnell. the Irish agitator. has
been arrested for using seditious Ian
guage and attempting to create disturb
ance in Ireland. The following is what
leading journal says about it
The arrest of Mr.. Parnell at Dublin
shows that the British Government has
determined, as the common saying has
it, to "take the bull by the horns" and
to strike at the prime mover and lead
ing spirit Of the League, instead of con-
tenting itself with locking up some of
the minor conspirators. This is bold
step, but we may be reasonably sure
that Mr. Gladstone has not taken it
without being fully prepared to meet
the consequences. Mr.. Parnell has been
busy in preaching not only gospel of
plunder" in promising an abolition of
landlordism. but a gospel of national
independence for ireland, which the
British Government would scarcely al
low to be proclaimed among a hot-blood-
ed population, without asserting its
dignity and power. Mr.. Parnell has
enjoyed the honors and adulation that
pertain to leadership, and he owes it
only to his own incorporate utterances
if he is called upon now to sustain some
of the Inconvenience of his position.
Disorder has been increasing in Ireland
at an alarming rate since the adjourn
ment of Parliament. The returns for
September include one murder, one case
of manslaughter, four cases of attempt
ed murder, fifteen cases of aggravated
assault, twenty-four cases of incendiar-
ism, and a host of other crimes, some of
them marked by extreme cruelty. This
sort of work, if not encouraged by the
League, has not been discouraged by it,
and it has gone on to point verging
quite as near anarchy as was safe. The
arrest of Mr.. Parnell will prove to his
associates that the hand of the Govern.
ment has not been quite withdrawn from
Irish affairs. The course of the League
has tended to rob Ireland of all the ben
efts conferred by the Land bill, and t.
very large extent this course, SO de
structive to the best interests of the
Irish people, has been prompted by sci
fish ambitions. and desire on the par
of leaders of the League to live on tn
contributions made to its funds, whicl
would cease if their agitation ceased.

ORGANIZATION OF THE
u. S. SENATE,

The senate met at noon Monday in
accordance with President Arthur's
proclamation of September 22d, and
was called to order by Senator Harris.
The presidents proclamation was read
when Senator Pendleton offered reso-
luton declaring Senator Bayard presl-
dent pro tenn. Senator Edmunds re-
viewed the situation and the presidents
10 his usual incisive manner and led the
debate which followed, taking the ground
that in the election of a possible
president the voice of every state should
be heard, and urged that the senator's
elect should be allowed to participate
in the organization. Various amend
ments to Senator Pendleton's resolution
were proposed and voted down, after
which Senator Bayard was elected pres
ident pro tenn by vote of thirty-four
to thlrty-two, Senator Davis voting
with the republicans. Mr.. Edmunds
showed that the law and the precedents
were in favor of admitting the three
senators-elect, who were entitled to be
heard in the choice of a possible presi
dent of the United States. He warned
the democracy that the fruit which they
might gain by their present cours'
would turn to ashes of the bitterest de
scriptlon. After consummating thei
purpose to seize the advantage an as
sassin's shot had placed in their power
the democratic majority adjourned tn
senate without considering M. Edmunds
motion that the oath of office be admin
istered to the senator-elect from Rhod
Island.
The democrats did not oppose the &C
mission of the three republican senator
Tuesday, and it is probable that the ri
publicans will reverse Mondays pr

If the Washington correspondents can
be believed, the assassin is beginning to
get the punishment he so richly deserves.
An officer at the jail says that the mis-
cradle creature has been suffering the
fortunes of the damned since reading the
Western newspapers brought him by his
brother-in-law. His courage has desert
ed him. He starts at his shadow and
quivers at sound. He distrusts every
one. He knows now what people think
of him. Apart from this he is quite i'll
He is eaten up by feverish anxiety to
know all about his Indictment, arraign-
ment and trial, and asks again and
again what precautions have been taken
to secure his personal safety.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR AND
NEW YORK.

The greatest personal interest in the
recent Republican convention in New
York, next to that of Conkling, who
was fighting for political life, was that
of President Arthur. Long the right
hand man of the Ex-senator, and even
after he had become Vice-President of
the United States, he may have regret
ted to see Conkling badly defeated in
the convention, but he may realize that
such defeat is salutary thing for the
party. 1t is certainly plain enough
that the great body of the party in New
York condemned Conkling's spiteful res
ignation, and had grown FESTIVE under
his imperious dictatorship. But Presi-
dent Arthur has no reason to complain
of the attitude of the convention towards
himself. Had the resolutions been sub
mitted to him in advance for criticism
and revision, he could scarcely have
made them more friendly in tone, or
more emphatic in the promise of sup
port. Full confidence is expressed in
his inaugural address, and they believe
that his administration will be sin line
with that of his lamented predecessor. "
Although not expressed in so many
words, it is evident that the delegates
of the Republican of New York expect
that Gen. Arthur will be the President
of the nation and not the leader of a
faction. President Arthur must neces-
sarily desire a Republican victory in
the approaching election in New York,
for that would show that he had the
support of his own State.

reached alarming proportions. Scenes
have been witnessed in Chicago this

New York in the worst days of the
gold-room and by San Francisco in the
crisis of the bonanza fever. Judge
Jameson pointed out that the statutes
against gambling of this sort are ex-
plicit and adequate, and urged upon the
grand jurors the duty of enforcing
them. His charge ought to bear speedy
fruit in the shape of indictments against
the boss gamblers.

There are quite number of excellent

An amusing and somewhat profitable
trick was started by some enterprising
but unknown spectators, who for day
or two must have made lots of money by
the gullibility of the multitude. They
struck off innumerable placards which
were distributed in stores, stating that
the government had put certain values
on mutilated coins. A little examina-
ton of course would suffice to show
ridiculous discrepancies in the percent
age allowed and other earmarks of a
fraud; but the coins are nuisance, and
few people took the trouble to make any
sort of examination, but just stuck up
the notices in their stores and over their
peanut stands and what not. OF course
the spectators were around, and by of
fering just trife more than the alleged
government rate, pretty we'll cleaned out
the market of defaced silver. A dime
with hole in it has actually become
quite rarity. After the mischief, Or

had been perpetrated, the government
woke up and issued dignifed disclaim-
er of any such preposterous order. In
the meantime vast number of people
feel that somebody has got the best Of

Guiteau is still unable to find any law
yer of distinguished ability to take charge
of his case. Gen. Butler has been asked
ia undertake the unenviable task, and if
he declines an effort will be made to Sc
cure the services of Col Totten. The
district attorney notified Mr.. Scoville,
Monday, that he should insist upon an
immediate trial, and that a definite day
be fixed at the time of the arraignment of
the prisoner, and requested him to be
ready to offer any afidavits to the court to
support his application for time to pre-
pare for trial. 1t is probable the court
will give the prisoner reasonable time,
but it is not supposed there will be any
unusual delay.

General G. W. Gordon, in eulogizing
Garfield at Memphis, paid glowing
tribute to the deceased. He closed by
saying: "The wisdom, moderation and
reform foreshadowed in his brief Ad-
ministration were daily widening his
influence and popularity, especially with
the people of the South and we hoped
that he was fastening the day when we
could all feel and say we have but one
sky, one flag, one Union, one country
and one President" We certainly ap.
preciate the kind words said by this ex.
Confederate General, but is it not abou,
time to stop talking about fastening the
day when loyalty to the flag, to the
Union and to the President will pre-
vail? 1t ought to exist to-day-and il
fact it does exist outside Of Limited
political circle.

President Arthur is pursuing the ju-
dicious policy of sending to the Senate
for confirmation the appointments made
by President Garfield during the recess.
1t is, of course, his privilege TO set
these appointments aside and reopen the
question of filling the vacant places, but
he wisely prefers to give effect to the
official acts of his lamented predecessor.
Among the important nominations of
the class referred to are those of Com
missioner of Pensions, Commissioner of
the Land Office, and Judge Of the South
ern District of New York.

THE LATE ELECTIoNs-Oh and Iowa
held state elections last week which re-
suited in unexpected republican MAORI
ties. Gov. Foster of Ohio is reelected by
10000 majority, in spite of the fact that
many republicans ''bolted" on account of
the governors temperance principles, and
the legislature has strong republican
majority. The vote was not large. In
Iowa the republicans carry the state by
about so, 1000, and bury the greenbackers
and democrats in the same grave. The
legislature is almost entirely republican.
