autopsy shows the wound to have been
necessarily fatal from the beginning, is
another curious question. Certainly the
report on the autopsy does not bear out
this assertion. That report asserts that
the fracture of the first lumbar vertebra,
and the forcing of spicule of bone into
the adjacent soft parts, fully account for
the septic conditions subsequently set up.
But ia contradiction to this it appears, so
far as can be gathered from the very vague
report of the surgeons, that the morbid
action was set up at distance from the
seat of the wound, and not at all in its
neighborhood. The irresponsible Times
account asserts that the autopsy shows
all the mischief to have been done by
the formation of clot of blood on the Sec
ond day, This, however, is nonsense. No
such conclusion could possibly have been
drawn from anything discovered at the
autopsy. The real mystery in the case is
that long and deep channel which is now
alleged to have been "burrowed by the
pus, and the like of which DR.. Bliss ad-
mits to be scarcely ever heard of. If he
had said 'never heard of BEFORE" he
would have been still nearer the mark, for
the statement that this channel was " bur-
rowed within forty. eight hours after the
infiiction of the wound, is simply incred;-
BILE. But. DR.. Bliss appears to have told
somebody that the autopsy resulted in
demonstrating the "absence of pyamia :"
DIR. Bliss is no doubt much tired and re-
porters are sometimes stupid. He could
hardly have said this in the teeth of the
admissions of the surgeons who made the
autopsy. Here we have a body the in
ternal organs of which are honeycomted
with abscesses which has pus in the kid
neys and the liver and the gall-bladder
and the lungs; and we are asked
to believe that none of this pus
found its way into the blood. Seeing that
his fervid imagination is no longer needed
for the evolution of bulletins, we think
DR.. Bliss had, perhaps, better refrain from
giving interviews to the reporters for
awhile. But no matter what he may say,
or what any of the physicians may say,
the showings of the autopsy, even suppos.
ing them to be no more than the surgeons
have testified to, make it abundantly evident
that the most singular mistakes have been
made in this case throughout; and it is not
at all clear that the patient might not have
recovered had his medical attendants
known the true character of the wound.
1t does not follow that any other ply.
sicians would or could have done better,
but the stubborn fact stands out in ugly
plainness that the case was misappre'
hended, and that much mischief was done
by reason of this misapprebension.

PARNELL AND THE LEAGUE.

Mr.. Parnell appears to have relied too
On ich upon the mechanism of the Land
League, and to have consequently sustained
quite a rude rebuff. He has never intended
to accept the land bill as sufficient rea-
son for abandoning agitation. He has
looked forward to the continuance of agita.
ton until the repeal of the union was
granted, in fact. But it appears that the
land bill has satisfied the tenants, at least
for the time being, and that they do not
wish to go any further. They have had
enough excitement to last them some time,
and they want a breathing spell. Parnell,
finding that the tenants will follow him no
longer, has taken desperate step. He has
appealed to the agricultural laborers-
class Of pauperized peasants who have
neither ownership nor tenancy in the land,
and whose condition is so bad that they
can probably be persuaded with very little
exertion to believe that they are in need
of revolution. The RECORD. UNION long

thing. We showed when the agitation for
the land bill began, that it did not touch
the laborers, and that therefore the
tenants would find themselves regarded by
the class below them with the same hatred
they themselves were then exhibiting to-
wards the landlords. And this is what
Parnell is now endeavoring to bring about.
Finding that the tenants will not go with
ihim any farther, he proposes to put the
tenants in the condemned category with
the landlords, and to lead the peasantry
upon new crusade, the war-cry of which
Is to be Land for the landless Z" This
promises to be seductive programme, and
it Will, if successful, lead to the formula
ton of more explicit demand than ever
for the creation of peasant proprietary
a peasant proprietary whose possessions
are to be wrested alike from the landlords
and the tenants. This is the commence
ment of new controversy which threatens
to be at least as fierce as the one just
closed, and which may before it is ended
nsutralize the land bill completely.

aremerely abreast of it, and these constitute
the majority. For the most part the desire
to make money is the controlling motive
in journalism, as it is the controlling
motive in every other profession and
trade and occupation whatsoever.
But inasmuch as the question of
money making may be quite independ-
ent of the kind of mental food furnished
by publisher, SO there will always be
publishers who prefer to furnish the best
mental food, and other publishers who
prefer to put forward the worst. So many
men, so many opinions, in fact, is the true
explanation of the American newspaper.
It may be said to reflect broadly the
existing condition of public morals and en-
liehtenment, but even here the observer
is apt to be misled, because he is prone to
forget that there are always two sides to
the mental state of community, and that
one of them is bright. and the other dark.
Every community, therefore, may support
good and bad journal, and it will de-
pend, not upon their relative circulation,
but upon their relative influence upon the
life of the community, which is the con-
trolling agency.
The Press has become necessity of CIV
ilization. It is neither better nor worse
than the best and the worst of the people
who sustain it. Its influence for good and
evil is of course considerable, because it
possesses the opportunity to formulate
ideas continually, and SO to suggest lines
of thought and action to those who are too
busy or Indifferent to decide for themselves.
The anonymity of the Press enhances its
influence, beyond doubt, and if it be a
good thing to maintain the fiction of a
sort of passionless, impersonal tribunal in
journalism, then this practice is proper

ing, and broader and more cosmopolitan
spirit generally. 1t is an agency which
must keep abreast of the civilization of the
age, and which may be made very much
more useful aud wholesome in its effects
than it has yet been.

THE CABINET.

AS was anticipated, President Arthur
has declined to accept the designations of
the Cabinet officers, and has requested
them to retain their portfolios at least for
the present. OF course this is no indica-
ton of the Presidents purposes. 1t must
be presumed that he will wish to form
his own Cabinet, and it is quite proper
that he should do go. No man can be
satisfied fully with the selections made by
another in matter of this kind. The
present Cabinet must therefore expect to
go out, and would probably prefer to do so
at once, were it not for the obvious en-
barrassments of the situation. 1t is due
to President Arthur that the old Cabinet
should give him time to make up his mind.
Thus far he has had no opportunity
for reflection, nor can he have until
after the funeral of President Gar
field. And it is equally clear that it
will be impossible to form any just concep-
tion of his policy until he has chosen his
Cabinet. At present he is merely drifting,
and nothing more could be expected of
him, but when he faces the necessity of
selecting his political family, he must at
the same time be prepared to adopt a
clearly defined policy. Nor can there be
any doubt that he will be forced to declare
himself thus positively, by the contending
Republican factions. It is open to him to
repudiate both, and to take neutral atti.
tude, but this course cannot be expected
from a man who has been all through his
public life an active and pronounced par.
tisan. It does not appear probable that
he will wish to retain any of the members
of the present Cabinet, and it is unlikely
that any of them would care to con-
tinue in office under the new Admin
istration, the more especially if that
administration is to inaugurate change of
policy. If the President follows the ad-
vice of those who are near him, and calls
the Senate together at once, there can be
little doubt that it will have to confirm a
new Cabinet before it adjourns. The
mere fact of its being in session would
alone suffice to bring about this change,
and no doubt all the Presidents political
friends would urge him to make the
earliest use of his opportunities. Whether
he will make wise use of them is an
other question, but one which it would be
idle to consider in advance of the event.

THE REPORTS ABOUT THE Az ropsY.

Apart from the legitimate inferences to
be drawn from the report of the surgeons
who made the post mortem examination of
the Presidents body, very extraordinary
rumors have obtained regarding the results
of that examination. 1t is probable that
there is great deal of exaggeration in the
story published by the Chicago Times.
That journal, indeed, has never been noted
for the carefulness or accuracy of its in
evil notoriety by its reckless sensational.
ism. So much it is necessary to say before
proceeding to examine what the Times
alleges. 1t will be observed that the sur
geons who made the autopsy are charged
with deliberate Justification in regard to its
results. It must be confessed that it
would have been much easier to dismiss
this charge as outrageous if the official re-
port had not, as we have shown, contained
several inconsistencies and contradictions,
and especially if it had not been made ap-
parent that the treatment of the case, so
far as the supposed wound was concerned,
was mistaken throughout. 1t is now al.
legged that the bullet was found inside
the peritoneum, where it was COM
pletely encysted. 1t deserves to be pointed
out that the surgeons in their report on
the autopsy do not state whether the
bullet was inside or outside the perito-
neum. They do say, however, that it was
encysted and they also say that the i'm
mediate cause of death was rupture of the
superior mesenteric artery. How the
mesenteric artery should have been af.
fected SO as to produce secondary hemor-
rhage, by the vicinity of completely en-
cysted ball, is difficult to understand.

THE FUNERAL CEREMONIES.


On Monday the whole country will
participate in the funeral ceremonies of
President Garfield. Governor Perkins
has, in accordance with the request of
President Arthur, declared the day legal
holiday, and in every town and village the
people will do their best to show their
grief at the loss they have sustained, and
their respect and esteem for the noble ruler
who has been taken from them by violence.
No exhortations are needed on this occa-
sion TO stimulate the patriotism of the
people. The ceremonies everywhere will
be as spontaneous as they are solemn.
California will join in the mourning with
genuine feeling for no State believed more
firmly in President Garfield, or expected
more from him. The pageantry of the
day will not be a mere empty show, but it
will symbolic the deep-rooted sorrow of
the nation, and will show how free
people can love and mourn for their chosen
xuler.

him. But having put herself under the
wing of the Presbyterian Church, she
could not complain when she was required
to teach Presbyterian doctrine in It's
grim simplicity. She need not have at
tached herself to that Church, but having
done so she was bound to teach its doc
trines and no other.
And it is from this point OF view that
the whole case must be judged. The
goddess press" and the cynical and
irreligious public, may scoff and sneer at
the trial of Mrs. Cooper, but. given
Presbyterian organization to start with,
the trial for heresy follows as matter OF
course. As to the other Churches, since
they are in the same boat, it seems to us
that they ought not to rejoice over the
discontinue of their brethren, or to pre-
tend that they are not liable to similar
misfortunes. If they intend to maintain
their sectarian distinctions it is certain that
they will have to drive out heretics at all
times. If they contemplate the abandon
ment of their creeds they can afford to let
heresy flourish, but in that case they
must look forward to the extinction of
their ecclesiastical organizations. The idea
that heresy in these days is an anachronism
is quite fallacious. 1t belongs to Church
organizations of every kind. and it will
continue to exist so long as Churches
remain. 1t is no longer permitted to the
Churches to make it a matter of life and
death, but that is the only change which
the progress of civilization has wrought in
the premises. Whatever the laity may
think, therefore, clerics at least ought not
to Join in the ridicule of heresy trials.
