The Star Route thieves have been
given another respite by the adjourn.
ment for a month of the District OF
Columbia grand jury. The evidence
was all prepared and ready to be lald
before the grand jury, and District At
tOrney COrkhill is sharply criticised for
allowing the matter to thus slip. There
are charges of corruption made against
the District Attorney, but the more
reasonable Interpretation of this un-
wise act would seem, to be found in the
jealousy of COrkhill on account Of the
employment of Cook as special prOsecu-
tor. There is the best of reason why
Cook should never have been retained,
but that does not excuse COrkhill for
failing to do his duty in the natter

PRESIDENT GARFIELD DEAD.

President Garfield died last night at
10:35. After over eleven weeks of suffer
ing, the victim of Guiteau yielded up
the spirit that had struggled valiantly
against fate. He had with him the sym
pathy and prayers of the American peO-
pie, irrespective of party, that he would
recover; but this was not to be, and the
golden bowl is broken, the silver chord
lOOsened, and Arthur is President.
After so long alternating between
hope and fear, the past few days made
it apparent that the Presidents death
was a mere question of brief time. The
shadow was gathering and nothing
could stop it. Death had his cold ha4dS
upon the victim and no,rtepder
deVOtiOns Of wife and house
hold could prevent the finality.
All good citizens feel the calamity,
and the manner Of his tsking of. All
too sympathize with his stricken fami-
ly. The long period that elapsed since
he was shot has somewhat prepared the
public mind for this result 1t is there
fore no sudden shock, as il death had
Oyertaken him on the day of the shoot
ing. Public affairs and general busi-
ness will go on undisturbed. Arthur is
already sworn in, and no doubt the SEN
ate, if not both Houses of COngress,will
be called in extra session. There is
therefore no need of alarm. Death is
the doom, sooner OF later, of all hui
msnity. The lofty and the lOwly, rich
and poor, king and pauper, cannot eS-
cape. Garfield has been hurried of
sooner than he should have been, when,
too, he was in position to give his
name to history.

THE STAR ROUTE ROBBERS GAIN A
POINT.

Last week District Attorney COrkhill
did a great service to the star route
plunderers, when he suddenly ad-
jOurned the Grand Jury and rendered it
impossible to bring their cases before
that body during the present month.
The present authorities at Washing
ton are not in hurry to have the law
of justice reach these robbers. 1t would
look as if the Star route men were quite
safe under the present court machinery
there.

Is the friend of the wOrkingman be-
cause he never had strike in his shops,
because he never made reduction of
wages in his shops, because whenany Of
his wOrkingmen are ill or injured their
pay is continued right along, because
during the late hard times he advanced
the pay of many of his wOrkmen, be-
cause he has always treated his employ
ees as men, as fellow wOrkingmen.

and successfully advocating a number

grasping his cane he started out on a

A USELESS EXPENSE.

The Penny Press has correspondent
at Columbus who writes thus:
Recently in conversation with trus-
tee of the idiot asylum in this city, l
asked what good the school was doing,
If any. His reply was that so far as the
school was concerned 1t was a decided
failure. Not one per cent he added,
ARE capable Of earning living even
after ten or fifteen years constant
schooling He thought the school ought
to be abolished, or totally different
class of pupils invited to receive its ben
efts. 1T is,' he added in conclusion, "a
burning shame and an imposition on
the taxpayers Of the state. In every
thing for which the school Is intended,
it is a signal faiure.'"
From the beginning the idiOtic asy-
lum, in its management, has been anti
Democratic. Bad as the correspondent
makes it, it is fairly managed in COM
parisOn with other state institutions un-
der similar political Tule.-Cleve. Globe
No state institution is doing more
good, and is more worthy of support
The Press correspondent has probably
never visited the institution, at least
with view to investigate and under
stand. He certainly has never read uT
on the subject.

How iO sscip the Michigan Fire
Sufferers.

II is Row evident that relief sufficient TO
place the fire sufferers in comfortable cir
cumstanCeS can not be obtained, and many
are obliged to dispose of ut least a portion
OF their farms These lands are practically
clear of timber, and can be purchased at
prices ranging r;om SO to $1S per acre
The soil, naturally fertile, has been vastly
enriched by the fire, and in splendid condi-
ton for spring crops. Markets are near
and accessible by water or rail. There is
not the slightest possibility of another fire.
Parties who desire cleared farm at the
price OF wild lands, and at The same time
wish to aid the sufferers, are requested TO
come to the burnt district and investigate
Z = themselves. Those who can not DO so,
nay get any information desired free of
charge, by addressing Relief Committee,
