GUITEAU'S FATE.

In the event of the death of Presi
dent Garfield, the disposition to be
made of the infamous Guiteau be-
comes question of public consider
alton. A quiet trial and execution
of the criminal is, of course, what the
law guarantees; but the enormity OF
Guiteau's crime calls for something
more impressive and terrible than is
conceded by a strict conformation to
legal rules. We are in favor of the
observation of lawful methods, as
general rule, in the punishment OF
criminals, but in this case we think a
departure from these methods is de-
manded by the nature of the crime.
In short, we think that if President
Garfield dies, Guiteau should be
taken in hand by the populace and
dealt with in manner commensu-
rate with the cold -blooded enormity
of the crime of which he is guilty.
His punishment should be Of such
character that it's very nature should
hereafter deter all disappointed viii
lians from contemplating murder as
means of political revenge. In this
instance, then, we say that mob law
is not cnIy excusable, but its employ
ment is demanded, as well by a sense
of Justice as by the the cold -blooded
wantoness of the dastardly murder
itself Let the sovereign people be
the jurors before whom this murder
Gus assassin shall be tried. Let them
mete out to him a punishment so ter
ribly just in its nature that hereafter
all villains who contemplate Presi-
Dental murder, or the murder of any
man for political reasons, in tree
country like ours, shall be deferred
from executing their designs. A
legal hanging is impressive, we
know, but it is not terrible enough
to the criminal, many of whom often
meet it with grin of defiance on
their lips. The people, the popu
lace. in the frame of mind which the
death of the President-should il
come-fnds them, should adjudicat'
| Guiteau's case.

for the end The swelling of the
parotid gland was lanced Wednesday
by DR.. Hamilton but the operation
has not afforded the relief that was
hoped for. 1t is true that the stomach
continues to receive the food admin
istered, but it does not seem to i'm
part any strength to the body.
There seems to be a gradual weaken
ing of all the powers, and unless re-
action sets in, life can not be much
further prolonged The physicians
have doubtless done all that could pos
sibly be done for the President, but
the terrible character of the wound
''om the first seems to have pre-
cluded the possibility of recovery.
We may hope while life lasts, but in
this case it seems that our hopes are
based on very slight foundation,
which is liable to pass away at any
moment Whatever may be the re-
suit, it is gratifying to know that our
stricken Chief and his anxious family
have the undivided sympathy Of the
whole Nation. His death would be
the consummation of monstrous
crime, which ought to be adequately
and terribly avenged.

AXE Ii Practicable.

A very good idea was suggested some
time ago, by a correspondent of the New
York Tribune, in regard to work for women.
Under the head of Intending Shops" the
writer said:
"As women seem anxious for something
to do, and as all of them can not write es-
says or novels, an idea comes to me which
may be worth no'ing. There are q good
many bachelors who are obliged to do their
own mending, and great is the vexation
when they are compelled to bungle over q
ripped glove, or button, and many other
trivial forms of sewing, which they find
difficulty in having done for them. Now
were there, throughout New York, Brook
lyn and other large cities, little shops
whittier they co1ld go in such straits, is it
not possible that number of thrifty women
could build up little enterprise, and so help
themselves and suffering humanity"
To which the editor OF the Tribune added:
The correspondent might have strength
ened his case. Whereas the. ripped glove is
a possibility and the missing button prob
ability, the hole in the stocking is down.
right certainty"
This cry for members comes up afresh
now, when so many house mothers are in
the country. and the men of the family are
left to know the value of the hands that can
repair. Why can there not be Bureau OF
Repairs? Let fifty gentlemen, who would
much rather pay to have their mending done
for them, than to wrestle with the torn gar
ments themselves, agree each to give dol
lar week to deft-handed woman who
would undertake TO repair and return the
garments. With this sum, she could afford
to hire room in which to work, have some
thing more to lay by against the time when
she can no longer see to mend we'll.
This would be feasible and easy thing to
to do. Why should it not be tried2

A Neighborly Family.

A family from down in Indiana moved
into house on Second avenue last week,
and before night had borrowed tea, sugar,
eggs, milk and kerosene from as many iffer-
ent neighbors After three or four days the
new family ceased to borrow promiscuously,
and settled down on one particular neigh
bor At an early hour in the morning q
small boy appeared and said:
Say, We are out of tacks and want to put
down our carpet Ma wants to know il she
can borrow a few?'
A hunt was made and the request granted,
but in ten minutes the boy returned, and
said:
Say, we've mislaid our tack hammer,
and ma wants to borrow yours"
He got it, and this time il was twenty
minutes before he returned and said:
Say, mas pulled all her teeth out pull
ing on that carpet. She wants to know if
you won't lend her one of your boys?"
One of the boys was sent over, but il was
an obstinate carpet, and back came the mes
senger with:
Say, amt your husband homer
"Yes; what do you want?'
"Weli, mas mislaid her husband some
where, and she wants to borrow yours TO
pull one end of tn It internal carpet through
two doors and across a hall"

Typographical errors are fruitful source
of mischief as well as of fun. When man
telegraphed to his agent concerning certain
stock, "No-price too high" he was nearly
ruined because the clerk at the ticker wrote
it, "No price 100 high" 1t wasa mere mat
ter of punctuation, but it caused one pocket
book at least to collapse. When, however
the ubiquitous reporter gave an account OF
a railroad accident, in which a COW and an
engine had wrestleing match which lasted
for about ten seconds, the printer made him
say that the engine cut the cow into calves
instead of halves. and then, of course, we
all laughed But in the last incident of
this kind, which are about
to relate, we hardly know whether
to laugh or cry. A minister preached
a sermon which his people thought remark
able enough to print. The text was from
Job, and read: skin for skin, yea, all that
a man hath will he give for his life" When
looking over the advance sheets the proof
reader saw that blunder of the most for
midable kind had been committed, for Job
was made To say Yea. all that man
hath will he give for his wife," He was a
wise proof reader, and one who had had a
rather turbulent domestic experience, and
he naturally shook his head when he read
the words. He did not feel at liberty to
make the necessary correction, but sent the
sheets with query" against the passage
and the marginal note: This depends on
circumstances.

.'Ghe people of Indianapolis are
considerably stirred up because the
School Board there wishes to appoint
white teachers in the colored schools.
They are right. There is no neces-
sity for separate colored schools.
All the children should go together.
Separation only helps to keep up an
inconsistent prejudice which exists on
account of color; but if We are to have
separate colored schools we must
have them taught by colored teach
ers unless teachers are assigned to
any of the public schools, white or
colored, without regard to color
Until that comes, or both teachers

ARTHUR.
The Friends of the Wee Pres dent Claim
the Cabinet Can Not Decide When the
Inability of the President Exists.

The Friends of the Vice Pres dent Claim
the Cabinet Can Not Decide When the
liability of the President Exists.
New YORK, Aug 24-From the Tribune:
"Whatever conclusion of the Cabinet may
have been reached, the counsellors of the
Vice President have urged that the Cabinet
can not take upon itself to decide when the
inability of the President exists and it is
known that General Arthur will not heed
any call or suggestion of the Cabinet as to
acting in the place of the President. 1t is
safe to say also that while Vice President
Arthur will not disregard any request of the
Cabinet or of Blaine at its head, TO come to
Washington, he is adverse to doing so
while the President lives. Precedents in
like cases show there is no absolute need
that the Vice President should qualify
Immediately on the death of the President
and General Arthur believes there is moth
ing pressing in national affairs to warrant
undue haste on his part in the event of the
death of President Garfield. Mr.
Arthur was at his house until a
late hour last evening. Ex-senator
Conkling, who came into the city yesterday
evening A. b. Johnson, of Utica, and
George Bliss visited him in the evening,
but what passed between them was of course
not made known. Naturally they simply
await developments at Washington. A per
sonal friend says IF an opportunity is
given Vice President Arthur through a
calamity to the country, he will prove as
much of a statesman as he is now re-
garded politician" 1t is denied the
personal relations of Vice President Arthur
with President Garfield are even unpleasant,
much more hostile. After the designations
of Conkling and Platt, and when it was Fl
naily decided there no way open for
compromise or reconciliation, General Ar,
thur plainly told the President he felt bound
in honor to sustain his friends, and added
~ trust, Mr.. President, you will not think
there is anything personal to you in my &C
