The only message of sympathy
that has been shown the President
is the one sent by General Grant.
He has also been shown the resolu-

anxiety about him, and that letters
and kilograms are being received
from parts of the world.

Morrell disaster, which is now as complete as
any such misfortune could well be. The
large Office safe in which Mr.. Morrell kept the
books in which were recorded the names and
the property of depOsitOrs, well as many
other valuable books and papers, has been
opened, and it is found that the contents have
been totally destroyed by the intense heat.
1t Is hoped, however. that the receipts held
by depositors and few records which happen
to be preserved in another safe, will make it
possible to obtain some idea of the identity of
goods that have been preserved and the value
OF those that have been destroyed.
The death upon the scallold at Fonda yes
terday was not of the kind which has come to
be technically known as "edifying" The
prisoner made speech inviting the specta-
tors to meet him in Heaven, and, so far as
we know, did not manifest the usual conf
dence that he was much better person than
the mass of his fellow men who had never
committed any murders. This prisoner was the
man who told the judge when the sentence of
death was passed upon him that it was Just
one. That declaration he repeated yesterday
upon the scatiold itself; and it can be said
without irreverence that the manliness of the
utterance may easily commend him in the
eyes OF a higher power than that which visited
| upon him the SevereSt OF human penalties.
Guiteau was arraigned in court yesterday
and plea of not guilty was entered. The
statement of the theory of the defence con-
! tanned one surprise. Hitherto it had been
supposed that Guiteau's counsel would
confine himself to an attempt to prove
| insanity now it appears that the defence will
| include an attempt to prove that the wound
was not mortal, and that the late President
died of surgical malpractice. The sec
ond branch of the defence will be-
no doubt, even less practicable tl.an
the other. Even if the fact could be
established in a manner convincing to intelli-
gent men that the cause of death was NAL
practice, which would be almost impossible
from the nature of the case, even sup
posing that it were true, this would
hardly help the prisoner in the face of
| numerous decisions against an escape Oh
such ground from responsibility for all the
consequences of murderOus act. The posi-
ton of Gulteau's counsel in the case is GER
tainly painful one, and deserving of SYM
| pathy. He is brought to the assassin's
| side only by the claim of relationship which
| he cannot reject, much as he loathes the
crime committed; he finds it practically impos-
| sible to induce able lawyers TO act with him
in defending criminal so despicabe; he
has not the money with which to pay
the expenses of the trial, and can only
| look forward to n painful and trying expert
| ence with the consciousness to follow that he
| has discharged natural duty.

The position of this country would be incom-
parably better if it's exports of products had not
been greatly diminished by the speculative adj
vance of prices. But the official return just
made by the Bureau of Statistics shows that
the exports of grain in September amounted to
only $40, 947, 144, against 1913, 1885, 55 in Sep
TENDER, 1880. Even this statement does not
show the full effect of the speculative move

coast, for the value of breadstuffs shipped from
the Pacific coast in September was So, 500 41,
against 81, 49S, $50 last year, so that the en-
tire movement from the Atlantic ports was
only $16,347,8O last month against
$22,3S4,373 in September, 1880. Less than
half the quantity of corn was moved and
about $500, 900 bushels less wheat Unless
the grain speculation here can be broken up,

papers suggested that the DistrIct-Attorney of
Queens County was fair subject of inquiry by the
Governor who has the power of removal. Only
few days elapsed after that plain suggestion when
the Disrict-Atorney compelled action by the police,
and the places were closed instantly. The Dis

of stopping lottery and policy dealing on his han is.
He is delayed for "a time by an ingenious but
absurd quibble put forward by indicted offenders,

The burning of the Morrell Warehouse recalls the
great fire at the Pantechnicon London February,
1874. II is doubtful whether the storage of vaua-
BILE pictures and furniture in large quantities under
one roof does not rather diminish than increase
their chances Of preservation. In the case of the
Pantechnicon, Sir Richard Wallace lost a collection
of ancient armOr, valued at $750,000. The Earl of
Cadogan Mr. Ellis and other collectors also suffered
severely. In the preseut instance Europe has been
ransacked for many unique specimens of majolica
marquetere. tapestry, porcelain, ceramic ware,
pictures, Inlaid and antique furniture only to perish
in the flames. We have now pretty well come TO
understand chat few buildings are really ire-proof
The Pant chncon believed 10 be absolutely safe,
was burnt to the ground, although the whole force
of the London Fire Brigade surrounded it within half
an hour o. The flames breaking out Probably the best
way TO avoid these great losses build future stor
warehouses out of town, where sites are not so
valuable. and where instead of vast building the
risk can be divided among a number of sections en-
tircly shut of from each other.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY OCTOBER U.s.

Convention since his return to what he calls
his "od Democratic home" His impressive
march down the centre aisle to front seat,
after the usual manner of PrOdigal Sons, must
have taken profound hold on the feelings OF
the family. So far the analogy ran on all fours
with the parable. 1t remained for Peter
Mitchell, that eminent statesman who
has infested State Conventions and Ia
bored for the party during all the years OF the
PrOdigals wanderings, to play the role of the
elder brother, and projecting himself in a dead
run down the aisle, protest. with wild wav-
ing of credentials above his head, against the
Prodigal's being received, to say nothing Of
his being put on the payroll and helped to the
contingent veal. How full of pathetic sugges-
was the Prodiga who had even gone so far as to
take up arms against his party, and who for TWEEN
ty years had been absent from and hostile to it !;
and here in the aisle, bursting with indignant
eloquence, was Peter Mitchell, who during all
that time had stayed at home and never re-
fused to run for any Office his party called
him to. And the grand old party, true TO
the teachings of the parable, said "Sh0ow to
Peter Mitchell and gave the Prodigal three
cheers.
1t is such scenes rs this that tighten I'D the
dreary wastes of politics and encourage the re-
turn of Prodigals whose only desire il TO be
made "hre servants" There remains the
killing of the calf. 1t is not yet caught and
when caught fear will not prove over-fat
