GUIrEAU AND BIBLE-READ
ING.


In n sermon preached in New
York city just week ago to-day
Rev. Robert Collyer, tie celebrated
Unitarian divine, took the ground
NAT Guiteau snot President Garfield
Is Il religious duty he felt called TO
commit the murderons act by the
,oice of God he beleyed a mission
had been laid upon him by Heaven
TO XIII Garfield, and had merely per-
formed his terrible task. This tanal-
cal feeling, as Mr. Collyer reasoned,
had been induced by Bible-read-
ing. Mr.. Collyer is a brainy
man and thousands of people,
all over this country, like to
and do read his sermons and lee
lures. In tins instance, however,
his reasoning does not seem as sound
~ on other subjects. Interentialiy
he places Guiteau i'll the same cate
CORY with Freeman, the child-mur-
deer of Pocassctt. Freeman
quoted the Bible and pointed T."
A Abraham as a precedent. 1t is Irue
that Guiteau, in his eXcitaDle Dad
blings, alleges that Deity, and not
himself, is responsible for the fatal
shot. But it Is equally true that
Guiteau traces his motives back to
political reasons and personal en-
! bitterment. IL is notable that he
did not make up his mind to the ne
cessity of the Presidents removal
until he had been refused the coYeted
consulate and elected from the
! executive mansion as al
| impertlnent nuisance. Then
came the "change" III his
feelings and the promptings to
assassination. Had Guiteau been an
Infidel or all atheist it is probable he
would have killed the president all
the same. Instead of placing the
responsibility on the Lord, he would
have said ait is fate," or destiny
| Guiteau processes a firm belief in the
divinity and teachings of Jesus
Christ. There is enough-tOo much
in fact, in the Old Testament that is
stern and bloodcurdlimg, but the teach
ings ofJesus are untinged with such
tendencies or sugges ions, for they
breathe justice, forbearance, peace
and forgiveness. New nor Old Tesla
mcut are above criticism, and Free
man of Pocassett is only one OF thou
sands of men driven crazy by Bible
reading, But it is not Just to
turn to the Bible as the cause of the
madness of every fool who gibbcrs
about what God has told him to do.
Tho act of Guiteau can be traced
directly to the fcverIsh greed for
office that well-nigh consumed him :;
and the system of seeking and be-
stowal Of official patronage that
prevails III this country, rendering il
possible for such wretch to ap-
proach and importune the highest
officer of the nation, is nearer the
secret of Guiteau's course than his
BIble-reading.

q New Route TO l:mronc,

The completion of the Southern
Pacific to El Paso and the compile
ton OF the branch to New Orleans
will give the grain shippers of Cali
fornia an opportunity to try a new
route to Europe. Last July thel 5
were on hand tor export in Califor-
l 100000 tons of grain, which had to
go to England by sea. The South
ern Pacific propose to move the grain
to New Orleans, from whence it can
be shipped by steamer TO Europe. 1t
is very doubtful if the company can
cheapen the freight now paid by the
all-Sea route. 1t is estimated that il
will take ten trans of twenty-five
cars each every day in the year to
transport 100000 tons of grain to
New Orleans, but that is something
beyond the ability of the Southern
Pacific to accomplish economically
with their heavy gradients. A por-
ton OF the crop can be taken, of
course, and the question of cost wiz
be determined next year.

The troubles of the university re-

there is no money available with
which to commence the "organiza-

this, there is little prospect for any
money for several years to come.
In short it begins to look very much
as il this university business is a big
Joke or a huge tiasco. Perhaps it
viii be wise if Tyler foreg5es her
contest, for practically there Is
not anything to contend for. Tyler

care anything about it there Is a

BOURRON SPIRITS.
How 10 locate and Obtain
Them.

The bourbon element in politics is
something which grows with age, but
does not improve. Unlike this Is the
bourbon element in liquors, which al
ways improves with age. To test the
truth Of this assertion you have
only to walk up Austin avenue
to where HARRISON and Boyle
are to beSS found, and try the
Iiuuor. Leading the list, venerable
and delicious with age, is McGlbbon's
uine-year-old bourbon, questionably
the Oldest and best liqEor i'll the city
not to be beaten. Anything so vener-
able and pure is almost too good to re
main on earth and might he trans
ported as nectar fit for angels to sip
and sing for joy. Next is the fine old
bourbon brand, "Teakettle,' but little
inferior to McGibbon's, and not Il whit
less perfect,ysis the "Sring Water"
bourbon, an Unusually fine whisky.
In the bourbon brands HARRISON ~ Co.
cheerfully purjIp their leading ones as
equal, and one or two AS superior, to
any other whisky i'll the city, and we
doubt if amy one can beat
them. FOf-A soar mash whisky

whiskies are to be found in this house
that are in the city. Holland and
Imperial Eagle gins, and Jamaica and
New England runs. Cigars of every
brand and excellence. We can assure
readers of the EXAMINER that Haralson

merits. As was remarked the other

An Editors LibeISu

tor III fact and lawyer TO boot. He

music. As a general rule the plain
tiff does not recover very heay,
damages from newspapers. Juries
are usually merciful to the newspaper
men. Perhaps the juries remember
the old sdage about drawing blood
out of turnip," and desire to save
the poor devil who figures as plain
tiff further trouble and worry. The
Post, however, is reputed to be
wealthy, and suit against the Post
may bring blood, which will prove
that the Post is not a turnip-that
is, of the newspaper kind. The IL
beled editor lives at Orange and we
wait patiently to see what he can ac-
COmplish.
