The Chicago Communists.


The Communists held a meeting in
Lincoln Park, Chicago, on Sunday last.
at which, after the speakers had INDUCED
in their usual lIaraAsues against ''grind
ing mOnopolies, capital and property,
the following resolutions were adopted
Res0Lged, That in Chicago, as in every
other place in this world where he exists,
the landlord IS the natural foe Of human
progress and the enemy of the human
race.
Res0IUed, That the worlds history
proves that no land was ever fertile
enough to support both landlord and
tenant; that its self preservation requires
of society the absolute extiTpatiOn of the
system by which any man is enabled "a
live upon the value produced by others
that rent, profits and usury are alike le-
gal iniquity, and at war with true civil
ZatiOn.
Res0lCed, That we proclaim a war
which shall know no truce upon indi
vidual land ownership, as in the genera
ton past the AbOlitionists did upon man
ownership, and call upon every alien
born or son of an alien to join us in Oul
attempt to preserve the next generation
from the inevitable serfdOm resultant
from the internal system.
ResOLUed, That as the gas and street
railway mOnOpOlies under their charter;
can be taken by the city, we will do al
in our power as citizens and voters tc
crush them out of existence, so that the
city will no. longer be deprived of the
use of its streets for the benefit of cor
pOrstiOns, and the citizens can be trans
ported at actual cost.

Gently changed its name to the above.
Looking over the. October number, now
upon our table, we are gratified to note
the progress of the profession in this
State. There are many notable points of
good work going on by the Georgia doc
tors, prominent among which we may
mention the offering of prizes for the
best essays upon medicinal plants found
in the State, their use in practice, natu-
raj history, cultivation, preparation for
use, etc. This is an important move in
the acquisition of medical knowledge,
and points to the development of
new industrial resources. The Register
is edited by Drs. Jno. Thad. johnson
and Jas. B. Baird, names well known to
the medical profession in the South, and
which give ample assurance Of interest

The Garfield Fund-AnOther Appeal
frnm Mr.. Field.

Following quickly upon the shooting
of President Garfield on the I'd of July
last. Mr.. Cyrus w. Field came forward
with the suggestion that the Chamber OF
Commerce of New York should raise
fund of $3.50, 900 for the benefit OF the
family of President Garfield, should the
wound terminate fatally. In a few
weeks nearly 100000 were subscribed
to the fund, mostly in New York city,
though Chicago contributed about $780,
900 and Philadelphia the same amount.
Of which nearly $155, 600 was paid in,
of which $145, 600 we're devoted to the
purchase of 1925, 900 of government four
per cent. bonds. The temporary i'm
provement in the condition of the Presi-
dent then caused a cessation of the con-
tributions, but now that the President is
dead new impetus has been given to
the scheme, and on Tuesday $22, $50
were subscribed, including 5000 by
the well known banking firm of
Brown Bros. & Ca The United States
Trust Company, of New York, is the
custodian of the fund. Mr.. Cyrus W.
Field publishes card in the New York
ECeuing Post, in which he says
that the four per cent. bonds re-
Gently purchased remain on deposit
with the United States Trust Company
in trust to Mrs. Garfield, the interest of
whlch-$5, 900 year-will be paid to
her quarterly as long as she lives, and
at her death the amount will be equally
divided among the children of James A.
Garfield. There is cash balance, indie
pendent of what was contributed Tues
day, of $7,312, which, with whatever
may be added hereafter, will be applied
in the same way. Mr.. Field adds the
annexed touching appeal:
"Our dead President has no favors to give,
no honors to bestow. He cannot be touched
by the tokens Of public sorrow, even by
whole nation following at his bier. But there
is a practical way of showing respect for she
dead by kindness to the living. he is gone, but
his wife and his children live to carry through
ell their lives the burden of this great sorrow
Mrs Garfield will soon leave with the remains
OF her late husband, who was lately at the head
of fifty millions OF people for her distant
home widowed and CesOlate. Only once
before has there been anything so pathetic in
American history. That the country will deal
generously with this stricken household we
will not doubt. But great bodies move slowly,
and il is long to wait We have preferred to
do something nOlo asking only the privilege in
this first flush Of grief Of showing our sympa-
thy in practical way, and so, in some slight
degree, if we cannot soothe the hidden sorrow,
Of relieving the anxieties that must press upon
that widowed mothers heart"

The Last Resting Place.

Cleveland Special to the Philadelphia Press.
Since the moment the people of Cleve
land knew that it had been positively de-
cided to bury President Garfield here
they have been busily at work perfecting
the details of the obSequies and making
every preparation to do ample honor to
their illustrious dead. Lake View Gene
terry, where the remains will find their
final resting place, lies upon the crest of
a succession of natural ridges that run
parallel with the lake shore, the eleva-
ton being about fifty feet above the plan
and one hundred and twenty-five feet
above the surface of the lake, which is
about two miles distant The slope of
the cemetery is toward the lake to the
northward. The lot for the burial will
not be selected till after the arrival of
the body on Saturday. The body will lie
in state in our magnificent City Hall
until Monday afternoon, and, as the
citizens of Mentor, Scion, Hiram and
other nearby places, where Garfield was
personally known to nearly every one,
have signif1ed their intention of attend.
ing the funeral in body, it is thought
that at least two hundred thousand peo-
will be in this city on Monday.

DR. AGNEw,s AFTER-THOUGHTs.
ne Never Was saBguIne of Gar
feld,s Recovery.
philadelphia Record.

81 never was sanguine of President
Garfield's recovery, and always regarded
his case as one of great hazard, as you
know said several times to you, said
DR.. Agnew last evening, addressing q
Record reporter, after his return from
Long Branch. There was nothing
remarkable,about this case. There were
MANY such cases of gunshOt wounds
during the war. The ball did not pass
through the spinal cord, but through the
vertebra, scattering minute dusty parti-
cles in the tissues.
What of the story in the New York
Herald asserting that you acquiesced in
an erroneous diagnosis because of profes-
sional ethics p
"Iwould refer anyone who desires to
know anything about it TO the person
who furnished the information. Now,
if anybody had been told what was the
real situation of the bullet and its true
course Immediately after the shooting
they would have said: Mr.. Garfield is q
dead man. There was nothing strange
in the fact of the President living eighty
days, for it often happens that persons
affected with septic troubles linger as
long as three or four months.
"The death was due to liberation in
the track of the bullet, as stated in the
autopsy. DR.. Woodward will prepare a
minute report of the case, including a
detailed report of the post mortem, for
the information of the medical frater-
nifty"

The Senate Called.

President Arthur, as we were satisfied
he would, has called the Senate to meet
in extra session on October 10th. The
country, after the terrible strain Of the
last few eventful months, through which
it has passed with a quietude that has
excited the admiration of the world, VIII
breathe freer when the first council OF
the republic shall assemble and lend tne
aid of its counsel to the newly installed
Chief Magistrate. It's first duty will be
the selection of Pre- ident of the body,
who shall stand prep red to succeed the
Executive in case OF need
Before the fatal day when the lament
ed Garfield was stricken down, people
attached little importance to the Presi-
dency of the Senate, though the peril of
its vacancy was obvious to rejecting
mind. Taught by the terrible lesson of
the assassin's bullet, the public mind has
realized the dread significance of the
blunder, and the public voice is clamor-
Gus for Its correction.
1t appears to be settled that the Demo
Gratis of the Senate, who will make the
selection, will choose either Senator
Harris, Of Tennessee, or Senator Bayard,
Of Delaware. Mr.. Harris is said to be
well qualified for the position. Mr..
Bayard's claim is further based on length
of service. and there can be no doubt
that his selection would be hailed with
satisfaction by all parties. While the
duties of the office are largely perfume
tory, the fact that their exercise was
committed to one so conservative, so up
right and so respected as is Mr.. Bsyard,
would add largely to the fund of conf
dence, which the country needs at this
time
The selection of q Democrat, though
it be the result OF accident, must to
considerable extent reconcile the party
to the new regime, which every adher-
ent of Democracy who lays claim to the
title of a good citizen is willing to trust
ill that trust shall have been abused.
If the elevation of a patriotic represen-
tative Of the opposite party shall dis
please the followers of the dead Presi-
dent or the supporters of the wing with
which his successor was iden-
tilted, they can afford to dis
miss or at least conceal their displeasure
in view of the unanimity of grief for
the dead and large charity for his success
sor that is voiced in the utterances of
the Democratic press and leaders.
Republicans Of whatever shsde of
opinion owe this concession at this hour
10 their opponents, who numerically
are quite as strong as they, and are
equally interested in the peace, dignity
and prosperity of the land.

This defense of District Attorney
CorkhiIl's adjournment of the Washing
ton grand jury is printed IN the Wash
ington Star, which gives 1t, however, on
the authority Of chose who ought to
know: "When the present grand jury
adjourned last summer it was well un
derstood by the officers Of the court and
the foreman of the grand jury that theiI
regular work would not commence until
5he list Of October, and the District
Attorney informed the foreman that
there would be no trouble, unless some
unusual emergency should arise, in his
being excused the last two weeks in
September. In consequence, no wit
nesses were summoned, and only one
case presented. 1t is also proper TO state
that District Attorney COrkhill was in
formed by the Attorney General before
he left for Long Branch that he would
be notified in ample time when the spe-
ciaI cases would be ready for presenta-
ton to the grand jury. and to proceed
with his regular official duties without
any reference to them"

When Mr.. Jay Gould said several
weeks ago that the death of the Presi-
dent would have no effect upon the stock
market unless it might be to strengthen
prices trifle, he evidently knew what
he was talking about, as events have
proved. Prices stiffened little in the
New York market on Tuesday, and held
their own in Boston, though the sales
were naturally few. The fact was, the
effect of the Presidents death had been
fully discounted and perhaps a little
more. Had the President died the day
he was shot, or within day OF two after,
prices would have run down a number
of points and the bears might have
claimed, for a time, that their gloomy
predictions were coming true, with as
much confidence as the Millerites boast
ed of the correctness of other predic-
tons when that yellow Tuesday brooded
are an elastic people, people of great
adaptability, and we conform readily to
circumstances, and the sad event which
all were expecting found the public fully
prepared. There is little danger of any
financial disturbance, therefore, and
whatever the moral and political features
Of the situation may be, the prosperity
of the country is not likely to be inter.
rupted.

Breaking the News to the Presidents

MUtutE.
Cleveland Special to the Ne,o York Evening
Post.
On Monday afternoon at Scion, Mrs
Garfield mother, of the President said of
her son: "He will live. God makes so
few meRlike him that he will not take
them away when they are living lives of
usefulness. There are so many men
who are of no use to anyone and who
live on that l cannot believe God will
take my James away when he is so much
needed" This was an expression Of
the hope that had not deserted her from
the first The evening bulletin from
ElberOn had been strangely delayed for
several days, but on that day it was so
cautiously wOrded as to give her the
highest hope. When Sic retired she
slept more soundly than for week be-
fore. The family of James Larabee,
who married Mr.. Garfeld's sister, were
net so sanguine.
Early Tuesday morning a dispatch
came from Swain announcing the
death. The family withheld the news
for a time. Mrs. Garfield came from
her room to the breakfast table looking
more cheerful than usual, and finally
she turned to her daughter, saying: SIS
there any news yet this morning, Maryf"
Mrs. Larabees heart failed. How
could she blast the hopes expressed in
that dear old facet Eat your break
fast, mother, it is ready now" she said.
"But l want to hear from my James
first, was the reply. The telegram lay
on the shelf, and seeing it she took it
and was about to read it, saying: Here
1t is now. | must read before | eat F"
Her granddaughter, Ellen Larabee, fear
ing that so sudden a shock might be
fatal, took the dispatch from her and
said, 81 will read it to you, grandma.
Are you prepared for bad newsY" why
no, said grandma, 81 am not prepared
for bad news, and there isn't any bad
news this morning, is there?' Eyes,
grandma" ''Oh Nelly, he is not, he can
not be dead" Grandma, his spirit
passed away last night" "Oh, it can
not be, it cannot be" said Mrs. Garfield
81 cannot have it so, / cannot have it so.
Ny James, my James deadl No, l can
not believe you. Let me see the dis
patch.
The dispatch was then shown her.
Dropping the paper she fell back into a
chair, moaning and wringing her hands
Throughout the day she endeavOred to
control her feelings, but the shock was a
terrible one.
To-day is her eightieth birthday, and
it is feared she will give way under the
strain before long. The last time she
saw the President was on June 2.

st. Louis Brokers' Cotton Calcula
fiaus

SAVANNAH, September 23.-BditOr
Morning News: I found the following
item in one of the columns in your edi-
ton of to-day, viz:
COTTON CALCULATIONS IN ST. Lou
Is.-Said a broker: If the aver
age last year on cotton was 81
out of a possible 100. and the
crop 100000 bales, l figure that
this year, with the average of 70, as re
ported by the Agricultural Bureau. out
of a possible 100, the crop should be
$4,000 bales, a loss of 19 per cent.
1t seems the st. Louis cotton broker
has neglected to study his arithmetic,
otherwise his calculations would have
shown different result, namely: if his
estimate of last years cotton crop is cor
rect (Which, by the way is not the case),
then this years cotton crop, with an av
erage of 70 per cent, would be 4, TAI, 252
bales, barring fractions.

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune, Mr.. Smalley, says that
ParnelTs new programme is desperate
bid for the continuance of agitation:
Fearing the detection Of the tenantry,
he appeals to the laborers to follow him
in a wild sOcialistic campaign, while he
incites the tenants by promises that he
will abolish landlordism. He declares
his intention to head the laborers il the
tenants fall off. The real object of the
League is to secure legislative independ-
ence rather than peace and prosperity.
This object Is forced on the League by
the action of American societies.
We are inclined to believe that &c
", s." is substantially correct in saving
that the real object of Parnel and his
section of agitators is Legislative indie
pendence." What is there so shocking
about this programmed Exception may
be taken to some of Parnell's methods and
especially to many of his expressions.
But the demand that ireland shall have
a local Parliament of her own, like
American State Legislatures, is not revo
lutionarY or socialistic or excessive in
any sense. To ask so much is far from
urging the "disintegraton Of the En-
pire."
