NOT 8 A ENOUGH.

As the case proceeds it becomes more
aud more apparent that Guitean is not a
man of perfectly sound mind. 1t does
not, however, follow, because he is to a
certain extent crazy, that he is not Grim
inally responsible for the murder with
which he is charged. For that to. be the
case it must appear either that he did
not know what he was doing when he
shot President Garfield proposition
which is hardly conceivable-or that he
was incapacitated bymental disease from
controlling his actions. If he appreci-
ciated what he was doing, and willed to
do it, he is sufficiently sane to be ad-
judged guilty. The mere fact. if it were
a fact, which remains to be proved. that
he considered himself the agent of Provi-
dence, would not exclude him from a
crime so deliberately committed as Presi-
dent Garfield's assassination.

sLOyENLY EXPERIMENTATION.

Instructions have. it is said, been
issued from the State Department for the
guidance and admonition of our eccentric
representatives in Chill and Peru, Mr..
Hurlbut and General Fitzpatrick. We
only hope that the report is true. for
such instructions are certainly very much
needed. Neither of the two gallant gen.
tlemen involved appear to have any idea
how the diplomatic duties ought to be
discharged. They have set all the laws of
international intercourse at defiance, and
have done not q little to impair the infu-
ence of the United States and to place
tha country in a false and embarrassing
position. They apparently need to be
taught that in diplomacy. as we'll as in
everything else, the first duty OF an
agent is to represent his principal, and
that independent action does not come
within the scope Of his authority.

President Arthur's course promises TO
be one Of great and serious difficulties.
His Administration starts out with the
necessity to deal with the gigantic and
but partly unearthed Hayes swindles.
He is involved, by virtue of his official
place, in the trial of the Star Route
contractors, in which the character OF
the Republican Postofice management,
for four years under the Sunday School
regime, is badly tainted. The Treasury
Department is rife with serious scandals
and threatened exposures daily pending.
The frauds and Encouragement in the
Indian Department are a disgrace to u
civilization. The Civil Service presents
the picture of an old hulk whose bottom
is encrusted with barnacles, which have
such a hold on the rotten planks as not
to be d~islodged without fatal damage to
public confidence in the possibility OF
any honest system of such service. The
leading officials in the management OF
civil service affairs would be better
placed if they were in Jail. The national
finances are in a middle, owing to
HAYES veto of the Democratic Funding
bill, by which the national debt might
have been funded at 3 per cent; and the
illegal refunding operations on the 81
per cent basis will call for specific elucl-
dation. The parties are nearly equally
divided in the United States. By pur-
chase of Malone the Republicans have
the control of the Senate. In the House
they elect their Speaker by coHnubiation
with Greenbackers. Piled onto all this,
Mr.. Arthur's own State is split by two
irreconcilable factions. If he have broad
national views Of policy and yet retain
the personal feelings Of the schemer and
politician, he will be in hot water be-
tween his immediate constituents and
the people at large. Nor can the Presi-
dent be warmly cherished by tie radical
partisans of his crowd, for he has openly
condemned them by admitting that but
for their shameless operations in buying
votes in Indiana, General Hancock would
have been elected.
The Democrats have it in their power
to aggravate the d~iscomforts of his situa-
ton and to thwart his measures. Should
they take advantage of the Presidents
embarrassing attitude, it might be con-
sidered clever and justiiable from a
merely political standpoint. They have
it in their power to make the present
Administration such a conspicuous failure
as to damn the Republican majority
forever and break the back Of the
''great-moral-idea" party. 1t is ex-
pected Of the Democracy, however. that
they will lay aside partisan feeling IN
this truly critical era Of our history,
when monstrous vicious forces are in
sidiously at work sapping the very foun-
d~ations Of the governmental structure.
If Democrats unselishly join hands
with Republicans to root out existing
evils it will place them on a higher plane
thar any party has ever had the moral
courageito occupy. and enable them to
defeat all competitors in the next
election, by reason Of. this superior
recommendation Of their party to the
confidence of the Nation.
