THE London Fortmight'y Repielo,
one of the ablest of English periodicals,
which has for its editor the gifted
John Morley, comments at some
length upon the assassination of the
president. Mr.. Morley takes the
same view entertained by Mr.. Il. l..
Godkin in his late article in the
atlantic, and holds that indirectly at
least the terrible crime of July I'd had
a political complexion He says:
The English-speaking world expe-
rienced a severe shock at the begin
ming of July by the attempted assas
slnation of President Garfield. The
attempt illustrates the danger Of car
rying party rancor to extremes-a
danger of which it is quite possible
that We may have other illustrations
nearer home. When political parti-
sal persuade themselves that either
a president or II premier is the embodi-
ment of evil, there is always n dan
ger that some desperate fanatic or
brooding enthusiast may attempt to
mete out justice by the pistol or the
dagger, The death of President Gar
field would have placed Vice resi-
dent Arthur in the presidential chair,
and Mr.. Arthur being a Conklingite,
Guiteau's crime, if successful, would
have effected as great a displacement
of political forces us a change which
placed Lord Harrington in the posi-
ton of Mr.. Gladstone. Guiteau HIM
self might not have profted by it, but
Guiteau's friends and associates could
hardly have failed to secure some of
the spoils of office which at present
have fallen chiefly to the friends
of MI. Blaine. The commonplace.
ness of Guiteau's attempt de-
prives it Of much of the horror in
spired by the more elaborate outrages
in Russia. Rulers have alv avs been
exposed to such attacks as that TO
which President Garfield SO nearly fell

THE LINCOLN RAILROAD
SCHEME.

1t is possible, as The OMAHA BEE
says, that "Lincoln is no commercial
competitor of Omaha" but it is,
nevertheless, a fact that she means to
be one, and for that reason has to la.
Dor diligently and inteliigeDtly. That
the rivilry between Omaha and Lin
coin is a legitimate IL we admit, and
we hope it will remain so; but
our Wholesale dealers here know well
enough that Omaha wholesalers are
skirmishidg south OF the Platte, and
they also know that the sooner il is
stopped, the better for Lincoln's
commercial prosperity. To stop it,
our leading business men have seen
lit tn invest n million of dollars in
a railroad; a railroad which will give
Lincoln "a short cut to Chi.
eago without going by Omaha, and
also one To ST. Paul and the lumber
regions. The people of Lancaster
need not be bulldozed at all" to be
impressed with the fact that the larger
Lincoln gets the better for Lancaster;
and they also know that the best way
to make Lincoln is TO gridiron its sur
roundings with railroads: to make it
the great railroad centre of Nebraska.
President Fitzgerald's new roads will
add much to Lincoln's prosperity, and
will give an impetus that will lead us
to thirty thousand people before the

The Iowa Farmers Alliance.

Each alliance, grange, or other farm

ten cents for each member to pay the
expense of the state alliance for the
year. Secretaries will please furnish
delegates with credentials and send
their own names and addresseI, and
the names of the delegates to the
undersigned secretary.
BY our invitation the officers of the
State Alliance, organized mt Des

and united with us in calling a state
convention of farmers at the above
time and place, "For the purpose Of
consultation on questions of vital in
terest to the farmers of the state"
We suggest that the basis of represen-
tation in the convention be the same
as in the alliance, with the addition of
two from each county not otherwise
represented. But the convention will
decide the matter, and all farmers will
be welcome to speak. "Come, let us
reason together. In the multitude of
counselors there is wisdom"

Groundless Fears.


New YORK Evening Post.
The precarious condition of Presi-
dent Garfield during the past few
days has again caused people to ask
themselves what is likely to happen
to the common veal in the event of
his death. While no one can point
out any particular harm to material
interests as either q necessary or u
probable consequence OF the fatal ter
mination of his illness, there is so
general an apprehension of something
baneful to the body polite hat bust
ness shrinks Is before u coming blast,
aud men go to their daily vocations
with a vague sense of approaching
calamity something over and above
the sorrow which touches the heart
some unexplained fear which beclouds
the mind and gives a deeper hue to
our sympathy for the suffering chief
magistrate. Yet presidents have died
i'll office before. Once this calamity
overlook us in the midst of the great
est commotion of the century, with
a million of men under arms, with n
public debt nearly double it's present
proportions, and with problims of UNI
known magnitude, both political and
financial, to be solved in tho crucible
of universal suffrage.
The persons who then succeeded to
the powers and duties of the presi-
dent was a man of imperfect educa-
ton and stubborn temper, reared IN
the midst of slavery, and though born
a freeman, yet born to most of the
social disabilities which appertain to
the condition of slavery. He was not
destitute of patriotism, but this
phrase, as he understood it., meant
anything else than government nc.
cording to the wishes of the majority
constitutionally expressed. He soon
found himself without n party either
in congress or out of it, and his want
of training, and the badness of his
early surroundings, prevented him
from gaining or creating one. Instead
of accepting the situation he defied it.
Instead of accommodating himself to
facts he threw himself against them
and was in a political sense dashed in
pieces. He not only ruined himself
but all those, few in number, who
adhered to him. Even Mr.. Seward,
Who entered office at the begin.
ming of the war with a
larger political capital than any
other man of his time, came out
with scarcely any personal following,
Apparently every evil thing that
could happen as II consequence of the
presidents death did happen. The
''ship of state wal sailing three years
or more in one direction, while the
''man at the helm" was steering IN
another direction. In short, the
worst fears of everybody were more
than realized. Nevertheless the coun-
try prospered during the whole of An
drew Johnson's administration even
while he was under impeachment.
That impeachment trial, by the way,
vas perhaps as severe a test OF our
institutions as they had aver under
gone in time of peace. The country
prospered through it all, and the pub
lie debt was reduced by honest pay
ment, although the president recon-
mended in a solemn message to con
gress that the whole OF it be repudi-
ated at the end of sixteen and one
half years ~ ~
Looking at the past We have no oc-
casion for dependency, even though
