The President, il seems, Is not yet out

considerably weakened by the operation
of Monday, and though the surgeons
infOTpI the public, through their bull
letins, that there is no cause for uneasi-
ness, the condition of his pulse and
temperature are not such as 10 fully al
lay the popular anxiety IN regard 10 his

dent has been fighting battle in which
the chances have been largely against
him, and while the country as the weeks
clapsing since his attempted assassina-
ton have worn away, has Come to en-
terrain strong hope of his recovery, the
tedious progress of the distinguished
patient toward convslsseence, and the
reiaPses which he has suffered,
furnish abundant evidence of the
deeply serious character of his wound.
There has been much freedom of critlr

ton with the Presidents attending ply
sfcIans, which. we regard it fair to as
sumo, is largely if not wholly, gratui-
tious. There is every reason 10 suppose
that the most judicious measures have

has been employed in averting the man.

Il would be much fairer judgment
in our view, and one more nearly in ac-
cordance with the plain status of the
case, to attribute any and all hindrances
in the Presidents progress towards con-
valescence to the thoroughly angerous
nature of his injury than to any derelic
ton of attention or skill on the part of
his physicians.
We are assured by bulletins signed.:by
the most eminent medical men in the
country that the condition of the patient
at the White House is as satisfac tory as
could be expected, and the popular faith
in their knowledge of the case strength
ems the hope that President Garfield will

A Word from the Superintendent OF the
State Fair.

A Word from the Superintendent OF the
State Fair.
The following communication has
been addressed to the Topeka papers by
T. J. Anderson, the Superintendent of
the State Fair,
I notice a letter in the Law
renee Journal of the eth inst. from
General Rice, regarding the State Fair
to be held at Topeka, September 18th
to 18th. Aside from the fact that Gen.
eral Rice fails to state all the facts in the
case we have no fault to find with any
one connected with the Bismarck AssO-
citation for advertising our fair. There
are local fairs at Valley Falls, Wichita,
and other places as well as at Bismarck,
and the State Fair Association is en-
couraging all of them. Our success is
already assured and we can afford TO be
liberal. Topeka sent more people to the
Bismarck Fair last year than any other
town or city on the line Of the U. p.
road, and we are going down in body
this year.
In fact, we are seriously thinking OF
having a Topeka day al the Bismarck
Fair; and, if Douglass county will send
one-half as many people to the State Fair
as ShSYpee county sends to the Douglass
county fair, we gill be more than salts
fed, and gtyothein a grand gold medal
besides. BY this means they will be
able to see Just what fair should be.
No one has ever heard any one con.
nected with the State Fair say solitary
word in disparagement of the Lawrence
enterprise. We are moving along quiet

ness, encouraging ell local fairs thrgugh.

Postmaster General James has dis
covered a dishonest practice of the Can
adian postal authorities. 1t seems that
United States maiI.bags sent to Canada
with letters are detained there and used
in large numbers for the local mail serv.
ice of the Dominion. Inspectors sent to
look into this matter estimate that many
thousands of our pouches, costing SIS
apiece, are in constant use in the Cana
dian service. A number were found
which had been repaired in Canadian
shops and furnished with the Canadian
official locks, showing that they had been
deliberately appropriated. AS the New
York Tribune remarks: This is GER
tainly a curious and extraordinary in.
stance of pilfcring. 1t is impossible TO
believe that the higher postal authorities
in Canada have had any knowledge of
this dishonest practice on the part of
their subordinates.'

Grove at Chicago.

CHICAGO, August S-Patrick Grove
arrived in Chicago today and is stop
ping at Burk's Hotel, where he talked
quite freely about his plans. He claims
to be here on private business connected
with his contract for lighting the streets
of Peoria, and disclaims any connection
with the Palmer House meeting. He
alleges that the original skirmlshing
fund, of which he claims to have been
the originator some years ago, has been
squandered, $1,000 of it being lent by
one of the managers to himself, $40, 900
used in building torpedo boat, which
never worked but was profitable to the
ring, $4,000 going to start an Irish paper
in the Highlands of Scotland, and the
disposition of the rest being only known
to 1eaver and the insiders. Suspecting
this state of things, Grove and some fell
low patriots demanded a reckoning by
the managers of the fund, and failing to
get it they organized a separate body of
United Irishmen and started a new fund
which has amounted to about $1,000 or
$4,000, and has been generously devoted
to harassing England and preparing for
the total extinction of her greatness.
Grove intimates that the Palmer House
crowd are more interested in keeping up
the contributions to the skirmishing
fund than in any more remote object
He repeats with gusto the schemes
against the peace and dignity of Great
Britain, with which he has heretofore
RECALLED the public, but nothing of new
interest was obtained from him.
