POLITICS AND PISTOLS IN VIRGINIA.-Last Tues
day the Vuginidn, readjuster newspaper. pub
lished in Petersburg. Va. contained an editorial
article which referred to Mr. 7. G. Watkins, alead-
ing funder and awell-known lawyer ofthat city. as
literary scavenger." Mr.. Watkins deeming
this term highly offensive, made inquiry at the
Tnyinian office as to the author of the article.
the journal in question having no accredited
editor, and he ascertained that Mr.. w. N. Rag
land, an active readiuster of Petersburg. was the
author. A correspondence was Immediately
begun. and was carried on until Saturday morn
ing when it was understood that both gentle
men were on the point of leaving the city forthe
purpose of having hostile meeting. Warrants
were Immediately issued for the arrest of both
principals. The warrant was served upon Mr.
Watkins only, and he was placed under 50, 600

THE PUBLIC School. BUI.DINGs.-As the CITY
school system developes itself the necessity of
unity In its management becomes more evident.
We are more fortunate than Washington in one
respect. None of the public schools are in
rented rooms; all are at home in buildings owned
by school authorities. The corporation owns
the Washington street school building, where
the school endowed by Washington is kept. The
city school board owns the Peabody building,
where there are six white girls and five white
boys schools The buildings used by the col
ored schools are the property of colored trus-
tees, who perpetuate themselves. They hold
the buildings-twO large frame buildings-''in
trust for educational purposes" The buildings
are so large that the c0lOred schools do not Oc-
cupy all the rooms. The other rooms being
rented to other parties sometimes incommode
the schools An effort is being made to see that
the colored schools, like the white ones, shall be
freed from all annoyance.

THERE is something liz the obstreper-
Gus and persistent Interruptions of Gut
teau which is too methodical for insanity.
1t seems that he is playing part for The
benefit of the jury. No man can be so
gifted with eonceit as from the accounts
given it appears Gaitaau is. He is
bundle of eonceit and uttsy folly in
court. His absurdities are such that no
man could pronounce him sane if it was
not believed that his actions are III pur-
suaGce of a well arranged plan. Guitean
is bold in court, violent and garrulous.
He pas off the character of actor when
going from tue court room, and his nat
ural cowardice retarps.
Despite that feeling CT respect for law
which makes punishment for crime a
crime itself unless inflicted by dRe pro-
cess of law, one cannot help wishing that
the mob would be left to decide Guiteau's
case. A criminal who can derive SO much
pleasure from the Rotoriety which his
crime gives him, who de4ias the country
after exhibition of magnaniuaity ,nward
him almost unparalleled, should hardly
be thought fit person for the laws to
protect. If any argument was needed to
convince people that the presidents as
sassin should be speedily hung, his ac-
tsons in the court room furnish it,

THANKSGIVING.

There is something in this national
holiday which gives il precedence over
all others. It is not because we gather
around board freighted with more
tempting viands than usual. Satisfied
alsoetite has great deal to do with COM
plaisance and the stomach has suscept-
Utility which promise can touch. But
aside from this grosser feature OF the
day, it is holiday sacred to serious ret
rospection as well as pleasant recollec-
tons. There is no one looks over the
past year who will not have reason to be
thankful for some interposition in his
behalf; and it matters not whether his
gratitude goes out to an over-ruling Prov
idence, to an individual or assumes the
character of qualification that he is the
favorite of Chance, still the heart is per-
meated with thankfulness and utters an
"unsyllabled prayer" Mankind is drawn
closer together because of this short re-
spite from the toll and WEAKNESS OF the
every day struggle of life. There is for
brief spell, community Of feeling
which like a touch of nature "makes all
mankind kim" 1t is day of thanksgiv.
ing without gloomy solemnity; day
VIXEN sanctity is goodness and piety
practical.
But the finger of sorrow is ever draw
ing black lines through the course of
life and there is many heart that to-day
gives 10 echo to the general voice of
gladness. The JOY of others makes more
dark the somber shadows which envelop
them. 1t is not a day made bright by
the sunlight of prosperity, but cold,
dreary, desolate one over which disap-
pointment broods. Through life as at
Thanksgiving, mankind is divided into
two classes, those who rejoice and those
who nurse their grief.

The attempts upon tie life of Guitea

THE attempts upon tie life of Guiteau
are prompted by the same motive that
induced the assassin to fire the fatal shot
at the president, love of notoriety. A
mob often metes out justice and Judge
Lynch often interposes in the interests
of Justice. But Guiteau cannot escape.
His trial is mere formality, and justice
demands his death. If through the
crookedness of the law he should escape
the punishment due his crime, then the
assassin might do meritorious work.
But none but towards Eaye So far at
tempted to forestall the law. The last
one ran like poltroon when he found
the policeman was determined to defend
his prisoner. It was not so much then
to take Guiteau's life as to save his own.
He wanted a little notoriety wanted to
be called the avenger of the dead presi-
dent, and fancied there was no danger in
the Job he undertook. When he found
he had to deaf with man who thought
his duty paramount to oil considerations,
the bob tailed horse was forced to make
rapid time away from Guiteau's van.

ED. WILLIAMS was lynched at Durand
on Saturday last To the very last he
sustained his reputation as man Of
nerve and clear grit. He was taken from
the court room directly after he had
pleaded not guilty and waived an exami
nation, and in few minutes was dangl-
ing from tree. 1t is impossible to re-
press feeling of admiration for the
daring courage exhibited by these out
laws. They took life but it was always
when their own was in equal danger
They fought the state and won. Crowds
of men were unable to capture them and
the two daring outlaws were a match for
thousands. In the court room, manacied
and alone, one fell an easy victim to the
fury of the mob. But he died game.
Every person pays tribute, unconscious
it may be, to that sublime physical cour-
age which deiies death and looks upon a
hostile crowd with q sneering smile
Ed. Williams deserved death but it is
safe to presume tlat there were many
more willing to mete it out to him be-
cause his wrists were in irons, then If he
had his trus.y Winchester and free hands.

AN attempt was made to shoot Guiteau
last Saturday, while on bis way from the
Jail to the court house. A man fiding
on a sorrel horse rode up to the van and
by peering through some Stats used for
ventilating purposes, ascertained where
Guiteau was standing. he then procur.
ed a pistol and coming up, fred through

arm. Guiteau fell in heap SO badly
frightened that he could not control his
natural functions. The policeman in at

the assault, and thinks he hit him. He
directed the driver to give chase and the
hunt lasted until near the depot when
the track interfered with the rapid pro-
gress of the var and the would be assas-
sin escaped. A man named Jones was
arrested on Sunday but the policeman
said he was not the man. Jones ;s q

THE Nord- Weston is, at present, hard
ly pleasant subject to write upon. 1t
is one of the things Of the past and has
the foul odor of decay about it. 1t has
no other mission now than to force pat
ronage by threats of boiling and to exc
out wretched existence by living upon
the fears of county officers. 1t is without
respect abroad, is generally despised at
home, and has as much influence as q
street brawier. The personal Influence
of the editor is on par with the reputa-
ton of his paper. Nobody heeds him.
He cannot realize that he is relic of the
past and stumps around from saloon to
saloon daily, denouncing everybody who
does not pay him tribute. He says in
his paper that neither The Pilot or its
editor has done much for the democratic
party. For every line The Nord Weston
has contained in the interests of the dem
ocratic party The Pilot has given ten.
Does Mr.. Schmidt's name appear as con-
tributing one single cent to the presiden-
tial campaign funds of 1876 or 1902
And still this saloon habitue, this chronic
grumbler, this Falstaff in politics pre-
sumes to talk about the democracy of
others. In every campaign when he did
not have personal grudge to crafty,
his paper gave nothing during an election
campaign, bnt locals OF st. Jacobs oil.
This is the man who fancies he is lead
er, and that the people of the county
must look up to him. 4 pretty leader,

democracy of such a county as Mani
towoc! We feel the humiliation of be-
ing forced into controversy with such
man. Republicans enjoy The Nord- West
Ell and insist that while it lasts they
want no better organ. T has ceased to
be democratic paper. 1t is siyapiy G
mouth piece OF Carl Schmidt and spews
ont filth on all with whom lie has any
differences, whether democratic or repub-
lleaE.

THE severe comments made upor The
conduct of the officers of the Waukesha
Reform School, naturally casts some
odium upon the Board of Control and
some people have gone so far as to say
that Rusk will reappoint none OF the
present members. Any talk OF this kind
or anything calculated to give the inn
preston that Mr.. Lnling would counte-
nance brutality or even severity toward
any of the inmates of the state institu-
tions, does him gross injustice. There
is not more kind hearted man in the
state and no man better fitted for dealing
with that large class of unfortunate people
who are deprived of their liberty for good
cause. He is very much interested in
the duties of his position and is working
earnestly to change matters in all the in
situations so that when possible good con-
duct will be secured through kind treat
ment rather than through punishment.
He has already been working to this end
in the Reform School and with good re-
suits. There does not live man whose
heart beats more warmly for children or
who has broader sympathies for the un
fortunate than Mr.. Luling. He never
regards a child as vicious and thinks that
kind treatment is more efficacious than
punishment ID bringing about reform
alton. He is bitterly opposed to any
policy which would confound unfortunate
people with criminals. If he errs at all
it is in being too enthusiastic an advocate
of kindness instead of sterner discipline.
We not only say that there is no better
man on the board, but there is none Of
his associates so good and there is no one
in the state who could fill his place, and
this is the general opinion of every man
who knows him.
