DYING.
[Continued from first page.l

liest satisfaction to be able to announce there
is now every hope of Garfeld's
recovery. The utmost sympathy
will be felt throughout England with Mrs
Garfield and the people of America in the
grievous misfortune which has befallen them.
The queen has given fitting expression to this
sympathy by the dispatch of The kilograms
to Mrs. Garfield. The former has won the
general respect of friend and foe. There
seems no reason to doubt Guiteau was insti-
GATED by purely personal motives. The ven
Q eance OF baffled cupidty can seldom have
Selected more blameless victim
than Garfield. One feature OF
this disaster is the absence of
all excuse for connecting it with revolutionary
enterprises Political assassination has lately
stimulated the imaglnatlons OF many people
to q morbid pitch of alarm, and the language
of vaporing braggarts like O'Donovan kossa
has been treated with far too serious attention.
If Garfield RECEIVERS the satisfaction of the
E. gish people will be deep, genuine and uni
verSal.
The Telegraph says it is certain if Guitsau
really uttered the words, arthur is now
President" there Will be wide spread sus-
plcon in America that the crime may have
been the result of political cons piracy. In
quiry will, however, probably show the crime
vagabond, driven to homcidal mania by an
uncomfortable greed OF office and despair of
gain. America will find this cancer
of place hunting must be cut out
or it will eat away the healthy life
of the body polite. We sympathize with the
American nation from the Atlantic 10 the Pa
citic, who, but for the mercy of providence,
might at this moment mourn beside the death
bed of their elected chief. We are brethren in
the heritage of freedom and genius, and as
brothers We offer them the comfort of broth
er's love. The banners they like to set futter-
Jag on the Fourth OF July will droop from
their 10 es or be unfurled. What more can be
SAID than that the British ma
ton, claspng brothers hand,
bids America good cheer and good hope.
Meanwhile desire joins with hope, and we
pray Garfield'S illustrious life may be spared
t. his country and the world.
The Standard says: Indignation, symPa-
thy and emotions of hope and fear have been
a. strong and vivid here as in America, and
when the news was received that President
Garfield was better the feeling OF thanhfulness

iect The circumstances OF the outrage and
the period of its occurrence. intensity the
feelings of detestation and abhor-
renee with which the news would
nj any time have been received. A hypothesis
Of luulcy may be dismissed. All the evidence
indicates GGIteau knew perfectly well what he
was about. We doubt If his futile candidature
for 4 consIllship is enough to explain the
deed. # the assassin was the agent of any
political conspiracy there is little difficulty in
couiectnring what the objects OF the consp!ra-
cy are. With Garfield out of the way, not
much more is likely to be heard of civil ser
vice reform, or the correction

PRAYERS were said for Presiden; Garfield iu The
two American churches and all the English
Evangelical churches to-day. Max Outrey

PARIS, July 3.-Lord Lyon, British ambas-
sador, was among the callers at the American
legation Premier Ferry telegraphed his
condolences. If Garfield is pronounced out
of danger the Fourth will be kept as day of
special thanksgiving by the Americans here.
The National says the hostility of the Vice
President to Garfield, as shown in the support
which he gave Conkling and Platt
during the Senatorial election, is more
significant because Conkling is a friend Of
Grant, who may now be expected TO stand for
Il third term.
