Gibson and Garfield

WASHINGTON, june 8.-Star-route Bra
dy's Sunday organ, the Capitol, made a
furious assault on the President yesterday
apropos of the employment of A M. Glib
son to aid in the Star-route investigation.
Gibson was until recently the Washington
correspondent of the New York San. The
CdgstaL concludes as follows two-column
editorial addressed to the President
ssThe issue is the simplest one that
could be framed in language. If Mr..
Gibson is not a hbeller, you are a bribe-
taker, thief. perjurer and suborner of per-
jury, and forgery. If you are not a bribe-
taker, periurer, thief, and suborner of per-
Jury and forgery, DIR. Gibson is hbeller
under the criminal statute One of you
ought to be in the penitentiary, and that
upon your own respective showing of record
Both of you cannot be at large without an
outrage upon the first principles Of justice;
and vet we are told by the New York
Times that Mr.. Gibson "has been retained
with your approval. in capacity the most
responsible, most delicate, and requiring
the highest type of honor integrity. and

trustworthiness. Sure, Mr.. President
there myst be some mistake about this
but if there is mistake it is dreadful
one-a mistake that will haunt you to your
dying day, and damn your memory long
after you are dead, as the only president of
the United States who ever voluntarily cer-
tilted to the honor, integrity and trust
worthiness of a man who for nine years
has steadily branded him bribe taker
thief, liar, perjurer and suborner of perjury
and forgery
The inference from the above diatribe is
that the star route fellows are afraid of
Gibson, and they have adopted. this meth
cd of frightening the president into dis.
missing him. 1t will probably not succeed,
though there is deal of cold, grim logic
in the utteranees of Brady's.

ROARING ROLLINS

CoNCoRD, n. H., June THE indications
rather point to the non-election of U, s.
Senator by present Legislature, though the
matter is not yet determined. The leading
candidates for nomination except Senator
Rollins, oppose election. 1t is understood
that Ex-Governor Hartman openly op-
poses the election, arguing that the law is
against it and Congress has refused to pass
an act, giving the Legislature the power
to elect; Rollins claims the election to be
constitutional and that his view is sus-

SENSATIONAL STORY.

New YoRK, June s.-Yesterday an at
tempt was made to affect the stock and
grain market by means of dispatch from
a western point announcing the sudden
death of jay Could The dispatch was
stopped in the associated press Office and
the dastardly scheme defeated. General
Agent Simonton now reports that the in
Eestigation he has conducted seems to
show that the dispatch originated with a
syndicate organized for the purpose of dis
seminating false financial and commercial
news. Said syndicate has its agent in
the leading cities, east and west. and in
London, News agents and the business
public need to be on their guard,

THE PRESIDENTS SENTIMENTS TOWARDS
T.
WASHINGTON, June S.-A special to the
St, Louis Republican says:
The political contest in Virginia is Civ
ing the administration grave concern. The
fact that the Republican press is fast com
mitting itself to the advocacy of the Re
publican coalition with Malone and his
ticket is giving the President new embar-
rassment During the past month he has
been carrying water on both shoulders
There is not the slightest doubt that with
in few weeks he has solemnlv assured
more than one distinguished Democrat of
Virginia that he would not interfere in be-
half of Malone. He has made state
ments of like purT7rt to prominent
regular Republicans of the state, and
yet it has been announced here
on semi official authority. within
twenty four hours, that the president pro-
poses to give direct encouragement to the
Malone ticket There is no mistaki3g the
fact that the president is making miser-
able mess of this Virginia affair, and his
best friends frankly tell him that the soon
er he places himself aloof from Virginian
politics the better will it be for the future
of his administration. One of his intimate
friends said to-day that by supporting
Malone, the president would lose the sym
pathy of large class of intelligent re-
publicans in the north, and would drive
from him many prominent southern dem
ocrats who have thus far shown notable
friendliness for the administration, and
yet the president, according to the latest
trustworthy information, shows unmistak- |
able signs of agreeing with Conkling in |
enc thing, viz: that Republicans every |
where should give Malone their hearts, |
however bruised and bleeding til ose hearts
may be.

The American pork question in Europe is
treated in detail. Communications received
from United States representatives On the
subject OF the proposed prohibition of the
1mpor .ation OF American swine meat to
several countries being embodied in the an
pendix Minister Kasson, of Vienna, saws:
There remains, however, question
whether the United States government has
done al in its power TO obviate every Just
cause of complaint. It appears to me that
the answer must be in the negative:
1st.-So far as I can ascertain the cause
and effect upon animal fiber of hog cholera
have not been officially investigated and
stated
2d.-No system of official inspection in
regard to tT-ichinal has been established
either at the slaughter houses, at depots or
at ports of exploration.
Official investigation and determination
has been made whether sailing, smoking
and frying the fat, or other curative pro-
cess, has the effect of destroying the dam
gerous animal only. l venture to suggest,
that until some official action in these di-
rections has been duly taken we are not
without fault for the alarm existing on the
subject in Europe.
