AROUND THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Consideration or Washington People
for the President ana ITis Family.

One of the most touching things con-
neoted with the tragedy Is the consideration
shown by the people near the White House, and
indeed, throughout the city, for the comfortof the
wounded President Nowhere do you hear the pop
Of the patriotic seven shooter or the muffled re-
port of the festive FIRE cracker. Even the ear
splitting voice OF the torpedo Is missed for mile
around the White House. Indeed there seems to
be in all parts Of the city desire TO make the day
one Of mourning and prayer rather than OF Joy
and revelry Major Brock superintendent Of the
police, made arrangements TO prevent any
noisy celebration of the day in the neigh
borhood Of the White House, and his force
had little trouble in enforcing them. Major
Brock, who has lived IN Washington since
1877 and been on the force since 1861, says he
never saw so quiet 4th OF July, and the quiet
ness Is duo TO the choice OF the people, says the
Major. "and not 10 any compulsion. on the part Of
the police, Even the boys seem 70 appreciate the
s-avity Of the situation and willingly forego their
usual independence Day celebration You can
scarcely hear tho explosion Of cracker from
one end OF the city to the other, and in the
neighborhood Of the White House have taken
extraordinary precautions to prevent all noise
This morning the superintendent of colored
Sunday school called upon me and said that his
school had fixed upon this as their picnic day
and made all necessary arrangements; but
said he IL you think IL will cause any disturbance
we will postpone II indefinitely / told him to 60
ahead, but to have. no singing In the streets. The
president of the Caledonian Club whose games
orc being held to-day asked whether 1 disap-

made no uproar in the streets would be pleased

tained n pleasant theory, TO the effect that the
star-routc conspirators are also chief members of
aconspiracy whose object, the assassination of the
President, was accomplished this morning by a
fanatic tool, Cook said about 1910; ave
are watching and waiting developments.
We think we shall see developments,
although We don't know yet Just
what they will be-" The theory OF these gentle
men is not generally held. The chief of the Secret
Service and others laugh at 1t. The star-route de-
tectves, who are also chief detectives In the mat
ter Of the Presidents assassination, claim that
their theory of conspiracy including the leading
star route conspirators is sustained by all the evil
dence yet in, The mere fact that the man. being
penniless, purchased nm sil revolver they consider
proof positive of his having been aided by some
one with money, Who with money, save the star
route thieves, would aid this wretch? say they

what Citizen meuiu ThiuI,s

Mr. Medill evidently thinks Bradley is
the man who should have been indicted. 1t is
true Bradley swears that Sessions, who was an in
innate friend of his gave him 5000 to vote for
Dcpew; what is more, he turns over the money to
the authorities. But this is the strongest point,
Mcdiil thinks, against Bradley 1t Is impossible
for him to conceive of mans refusing so much
money, nnd, above all, of parting with so much
money once in his possession. So Mr.. Medill
thinks the Albany grand jury have indicted the
wrong manifestations instead of Bradley; that the
evidence was strong against Bradley, while there
was not n particle against Sessions. This Is case
Of twenty-three against one but doubtless, the
public will side with Mr.. Medill, the disintercsted
single individual who knows he knows that Brad
ley is the real criminal Chicago Nous.

For macveagh, Coon. aud Gibson to Read.

Every honorable man ought to stand
like rock against the wild attempts OF excltablc
persons to put any even the least share, ofrespOn
sibility for Guitoau's crime upon any of those
who are likely to profit by the Presidents death,
All the evidence is against the suppOsiton that
any living person was accessory to the deed, and,
In the absence Of the most positive and conclusive
evidence, the 6lackening OF anybody with such
n charge even by innuendo, is an injustice so
monstrous that every honorable mind will revolt
at H. The taint OF even suspicion, in connection
with such an awful crime, is II taint so black and
damning that no man ought to holp TO put It upon
n fellow man. II is wrong more bitter than
words can well express We feel bound TO cry out
against IT, Therefore, we say, good friends, bride
your tongues Bear not false witness against
your nelghbor Let your judgments be charitable
or at least reasonable Remember that wO are
all Americans together, and that assassination is
not weapon OF American politcians-BHg

The members of the cheerful little
Mentor household of n year ago have been soroly
afflicted since they took up their residence in
Washington The venerable mother of the Pres-

Then the wife was prostrated and lay at deaths

summOnd from her bedside to that of cousin,
who had been wounded by an accident which

A cowardIy, brutal seoundreI.

If anything could be more cowardly
and moro brutal than the assault upon the Presl
dent, II is tho insinuaton darkly thrown out in
certain quarters that the deed was prompted from
political motives by men in high position. When
Mr.. Henry Watterson telegraphs, as he did yester.
day, to his paper that the testimony against Messrs
CoEklng and Arthur Is stronger than that upon
which Mrs. surratt was hung the charitable pre-.
sumption is mat Mr., Henry Watterson is not in

A Ouiet CITY

A stranger in Washington could not
fail to be impressed by the remarkable
quiet which hasprevailed since Saturday
The city has been like New England
village on a Sabbath day. As the news
sped on Saturday morning that the Presi-
dent had been assassinated, in the depot,
the people collected rapidly ut that local
ity till their number must have reached
four or five thousand. But even that
surging mass of shocked and excited mon
were as orderly and well-behavcd as if
they had been in church. Two or three
said something OF hanging the prisoner
on the spot, but the suggestion met with
no response. All minds were on the suf-
ferer, and anxiety to know his fate over
mastered all other considerations. Dur
ing the day the vaporings of the assassin
were commented on, and sometimes an
eXcitable individual would descant on
the antagonisms which had grown up
within the Republican party. These were
the exceptions however. The universal
solcmnity and the manifest grief Of all
gave no encouragement to the few shall
low Drained people who sought to quarrel
while all around them was sadness and
gloom. Then came Sunday and next
the holiday of the Fourth-days when
all were idle. But both were equally
quiet. We doubt il there is more or
derly community than ours in all the
length and breadth of the land.

Up to the latest hour last night the
condition Of the President was such as to
create feeling of great hopefulness. lie
rallied in the morning, having had
much natural sleep during the
night The morning bulletin was
happy change from the unfavorable ores
of the previous evening. The retention
of food during the day was most favora-
bic. Yesterday was the hottest day of
the season, and no one would have been
surprised at learning of some unfavor-
able reaction at evening. But the
patient seems to have had his best
day since the shooting. The physicians
all seem now to concur in saying the case
is not hopeless. AT the same time they
warn the people that at the best there
are many dangers yet to encounter, any
one of which may be fatal. Let us hope,
while at the same time we must fear.
AN Albany special to the ECcning Star
contains the following remarkable state
ment:
There are hot. headed partisans who go around
repeating insnuations that Guiteau was an agent
OF conspirators, and that 1t is conspiracy of the
"old Guard' As tito give color to their atrocious
insinuations, they ask what did Conkling visit
Washington for ten days ago? All of this kind Of
talk is denounced in the sevcrest terms by all men
Of sense among the Half Breeds. 1t is being
frowned down on all sides.
This mad mixture Of malice and idiocyis
encouraged by such utterances as con-
tinue TO appear in the New York Tribune.
1t will have the good effect of destroying
whatever influence its vicious authors
and indorsers ever had. The fiendish
hatred displayed toward Mr.. Conkling
will only harm those who indulge in such
unmanly and indecent exhibitions. 1t
will be observed that all men of sense
among the so-called Half-Breeds severely
denounce the conduct of the persons re-
