fIulds, related In The Express yesterday, va
4 mourniul instance Of the desperation thu
may DO engenderod by dlssppoIntmen
and despair. Ia this instance the Victim hsd
been swindled OF bis patrimony, and hsd
come 10 this country TO endeayor 10 earn
money enough TO enable him TO fight for IL
Ill luck seemed 10 attend him, and finally,
In utter despair, he took his life. OF course
death by suicide 10, 10 certain extent,
c0wardly, but there are men struggling and
toiling In the city every day with no hope
or prospect Of Advancement, who certainly
show courage in resisting the strong tempta-
ton Ia take the life that appears so worth~
less. Poor Won Hulda was not equal to the
contest, snd succumbed to destiny.
II the Chicago Inter- Ocean office is blown
up and scattered to "the demnition bow
vows" any time shortly, you may know that
Grove did it. The Inter,Ocean goes for
Grove, and 1t is not an unnatural inference
that Grove will return the compliment. The
Inter- Ocean says of this blacklist Of all the
crows, unless his own statements be but idle
cswiug, as follows:
Grove, of Peoria, is in town. Grove, of
Peoria, is made much Of; that is, he is OBJ
served, interviewed, and his movements caro-
fully cbronicled. What has Grove, of
Peoria, done? Only this, II his own story Is
to be believed: He has constructed a num-
Der of internal machines, shipped them on
passenger steamer loaded with innocent men,
women and children, with the brave and pa
triotic purpose of blowing up said steamer in
mid-ocean and throwing hundred house,
holds into mourning. Unless CroIo is q
falsifier he is monster, who ought to be
blown up by one of his own machines:
But instead of that, he is patteripg around
Chicago, yawping about patriotism, and
playing the hero. Just why he is allowed to
do this, instead of being confined in
straight jacket, we are at loss to imagine,
but all the same he is here, and moderate
number of people cape at him and say,
"That's Grove! Grove, of Peoria, internal
machine mani" There were q number OF
Chicago people on the steamer that took out
Groves machines, and If he had possessed as
| much sense as cruel cowardice, and bis traps
had exploded, there would doubtless be q
number of parties here interviewing him OUT
of something moro than mere curiosity.
Grove better return to Peoria. Chicago can
live without him.
It is a blessed fact that murder will out
and it transplres now that what vast num-
Der of people have believed for q long time
has been demonstrated to be true-that the
president has never been hurt much. Anew
physicians who have hung about his bedside
for forty-two days, no doubt seeking to
make capital for themselves and cheap no
teriety as most skillful surgeons, have oil the
time misrepresented the case, or else being
lamentably ignorant as surgeons they have
known neither how to diagnose or trea-
the case. Mr.. Blaine being 9
most skillful wire puller and
oliticalsensationslist, it ia by no means inn
possible, has ahrewdly taken advantage Of
the situation to populsrize the adminis!ra.
ton by playing on the sentimentality of thu
people. There is no doubt but that the
daily bulletins from the white house had
much to do in defeating Conkling OF Albany
We doubt if any body thinks for a moment
that the president has been party to any
deception that may have been used. He hal
been victimizsd as well as the people, anC
there will be day Of reckoning yet for this
deception. The New York Herald say
