AN OUTSIDERS OPINION.
Long Branch, Sept. Is, IL a. M
Whatever the official bulletin may
say, President Garfield is still
dangerously i'll man. The doctors
may send off their daily or scnli-dai-
ly statements about his tempera-
ture, pulse and respiration being
nearly normal, and the pus being
healthful, and the oldlady gossips
who hang about the sick-bee may
prate about his eating woodcock
and relishing fruit, but there is DO
gainsaying the fact that his condi-
ton is far from satisfactory TO the
intelligent people who take a genu-
Inc interest III his case. He had q !:
severe setback yesterday, his pulse
running up to 1l2 and his respira-
tion to q. The formation Of nus
pockets or assesses continues, and
seems to indicate serious blood-poi-
soning. Four of these sacks Of
corruption were opened yesterday
and the day before making some
fifteen or twenty in all. He has
wasted away to a mere shadow Of
his former self, and, though he has
been propped up in a half-sitting
position for all hour two days this
week, there is little evidence that
he IS really gaining any strength.
The daily fever, the raging pulse
and the steady drain from the
wound and the numerous pus cavi-
ties are all combining to wear him
steadily away. Whatever the doc.
tors and nurses and sick-room Cos
sips may say to the contrary, the
country need not be surprised at
any time to hear the sad news Of
his death.
The jamestown Alert argues that
Jamestown must, from the force Of
circumstances, become the capital Of
northern Dakota. It's natural location
conmends it to that fate, baL James,
town may in the years OF the future,
have occasion to thank the Red river
valley for not permitting uature to
take its course. We speak from ex-.
