THE Springfield Union thinks that one Of
the lessons taught by the recent massacre In
Arizona is that the Indians sought to be re-
moved from the tracts with wbich they are
familiar. This would render lem compar-
atively powerless, for they can not intelli-
gently retreat after an attack, which they
will not make unless they know where the
obscure hiding-places and water-holes arc
located. II is because the Indian knows all
these now, while the army officers and men
do not know them, that he maintains his au-
daclty. With their fine horses they can In q
night put themselves beyond the danger Of
pursuit by any organized troops, and they
only fear the superior skill and equal knowl-
edge Of trails possessed by the white settlers"

his death: 81 DIR. Bliss was talking to General
Swain in the patients presence Of the dis

rived from it, DR.. Bliss looked at Gen

was slightly out of his head. The President

Garheld's Remains.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.-The matter Of the
final interment Of the late President Gar
fields remains at Mentor or Hiram having
been agitated by some people in his old dis
trict, DR.. Robin,on has talked with the
widow, Mrs. Garfield, who said that if the
Trustees had not offered lot she should
have purchased one in Lake View cemetery

would have directed. She thought 1t was
his wish to be buried there, and she added
"thst question Of burial is no longer oper
and will not be opened.''

II is now said, and believed by those who
know her, that Mrs. Gariield's life is in dam

her feelings under control at an enormous

This tension was begun when she was al

IT Is said that at the recent me citing of the

of Germany, the latter advised the former TO
crush the Nihilists that troubled Russia by
the same stringent measures which sup
pressed the Socialists Of Germany thirty or
forty years ago. The old gentleman meant
by the term socialists" those patriots who
believed In government Of the people, by
the people, and for the people," SO many Of
whom found refuge in our hosptable coun-

the Nihilists do their work secretly, while
the German Republicans, as a rule, made
their fight openly. .r ...

A CURIOUS example Of the business
morals Of the South has been developed In
South Carolina, resulting, probably, from
the long course Of instruction the Southern
States have taken In the doctrine Of repndia-
tion. The planters of South Carolina in
vested heavily in fertilizers, and this fall
many Of them are unable TO pay the debts
contracted, owing TO bad crops. In many Of
the counties they are now holding meetings
and passing resolutions requesting the
guano manufacturers to remit part Of the
debts due them from the farmers, even to
the extent Of one-half. In some districts
actually repudiation Is discussed and gener-
ally urged. Other classes Of creditors have
not been yet called upon TO give up their
savings for the benefit Of the planters.

AMONG other legal difficulties to be en-
countered in the trial of Guiteau Is that Of
procuring jury. If the regulation inquiry,
Have you formed or expressed an opinion
as to the guilt or innocence Of the defend
ant?n Is submitted and is not modified 1t
seems IL will be impossible to secure jury.
II seems to us, anyhow, that this test ques-
tion should be eliminated from the formula
of judicial inquiry and the question be,
Have you formed or expressed an opinion
concerning the guilt or innocence Of the ac-
cused that will prevent you from giving a
verdict In accordance with the law and evi-
dence offered In this case?" Jurists hold
that where an opinion Of guilt has been
formed which requires evidence 10 remove,
the legal assumption that man Is innocent
until he is proven guilty does not exist, and
that person accused being entitled to this
assumption the present formula should be
maintained. There Is, however, in the mind
of every intelligent and just man who forms
an opinion this proviso: "If the information
L uksc 10 CoiIeStB thch my oPihioh a0 oob
aud he can conscientiously go into the jury
box, absolving himself Of q predetermination
and give verdict in accordance with the law
and the evidence. The theory that q jury
must know nothing of case, or having
known of it must have formed no opinion,
offers premium for jurors who have not the
capacities to hear Q case intelligently and
reach rational legal conclusion, A defend
ant who Is innocent would certainly prefer
an intelligent jury, and one who Is guilty
should be tried by such. Sooner or later
there must be a modification Of the test re-
quired of jurors In criminal cases that have
general publicity or Law will fail of Its pur-
pose. There is justice demanded by and
due the community a. we'll as the accused.

We notice by the Butte papers that Mr..
Hamilton, in charge Of the surveying party
between Mouth of Little Blackfoot and Butte,
has completed his preliminary survey to the
latter place and is now " locating" the line
back. All previous surveys, Of which there
have been three, have fixed the lines on the
west bank Of the river through Deer Lodge
valley. Mr.. Hsmilton's survey is on the east
bank. This will obviate much OF the ex-
pense for right Of way and free the farmers
o: the valley Of much injury that would re-
suit from the cutting Of their farms by rail-
way track, while In no case will 1t be more
than mile further away. The road will be
more expensive to build but will be on 6rmer

While II Is not demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that the Mullan Pass route will be
adopted for the main line, IL Is fact that the
engineers Of the road have so located 1t and
1t Is one Of the extreme improbabilities that
their action will be reversed. We assume,
therefore, that the main line will 60 uid He
lena and branch road be built to Butte
from Mouth Of Blackfoot. BY this the Utah
and Northern obtains control Of large por-
tion Of Montana, and 1t was the consideration
OF the sncrosching as much as possible on
this feeder Of the Unisn Pacific that We
thought would have strongly Influenced the
Northern Pacific to run south TO the Pipe
stone or Deer Lodge passes. We believe the
filing of the location of these lines with the
Secretary Of the Interior will settle the nu-
merous railroadprojects that have been eur
rent into the extension of the U. Il N. TO
Butte and the REIMBURSEMENT of further ex-
tension down the West Side stream; unless,
1t shall be the purpose to hasten construction,
reach the timber country first, aud then on
the approach Of the Northern Pacific from
the west, sell It's roadbed TO that company.
This, however, seems not aprobsble scheme.
Now, why would 1t not be best for both COM
panies to accept the situation, with Butte as
= meeting point on the West Side and Three
Forks on the East Side? The Northern Pa
cifc is anxious to secure the early completion
Of Its through line. This is proper motive.
II will take At least two years to complete 1t
from east and west, and this era Of railroad
construction will collapse some day. The
Northern Pacific now brings all Its material
for the west around Cape Horn, up the CO.
lumbia, and over Its own road from Aims
worth. The Union Pacific and Utah and
Northern can deliver 1t In one-sixth the dis
tsnce over their lines. The former wants
iron and rolling stock; the latter want traffic.
Can there not be an arrangement made be-
tween the companies 90 that material for the
Northern Pacific will be delivered at Silver
Bow and the construction Of an interior d.
vision Of the Northern Pacific and the Butte
branch be begun near Butte AZ least 16C
miles could be completed before the eastern
and western extensions would connect, and
In the meantime the Union Pacific and the
Utah and Northern would receive immense
revenues from the carriage for the Northern
Pacific and the growth Of the country. 1t Ia
not improbable that II the Utah and Northern
rejects overtures to this end, II made, that
the Northern Pacific will seek TO obtain
like results by the more uncertain river route
ria Benton. We do not urge this upon The
railroad companies interested; it 10 merely
submitted IS business proposition with the
modest mental qualification thar they do no,

oon''e. .'" Afiic of Montana. Then, the
~ seemed content until IL should
oo u' hstrated what the Northern Pacific
W. ID do. Two things will be recollected !:
st, The Northern Pacific line was located,
or presumed to be, ria the Deer Lodge Pass
route in 1872. I'd, The charter Of the Utah
and Northern reads, "To and through the
Territories Of Utah, Idaho, and Montana. to
connection ,oith the Northern Pacific Rail-
road" When the Utah and Northern reached
Browns Bridge 1t had exhausted Its right-of-
way, and has since been building on suffer-
ance or by agreement with landowners on
the projected line. II had no legal right
of-way' this side of the. located line
of the Northern Pacific. This will
account for, 1st, The dignifed delay Of
the Utah and Northern in constructing Its
road, and ed, The mastery procrastination Of
the Northern Pacific In abandoning its locat-
ed line. From all accounts yet made public
the Mullan Pass route was two months since
determined upon by the engineers of the
Northern Pacific, and from all accounts the
Utah and Northern would three months ago
have asked the interposition Of the courts to
appraise right-of-way II the company had had
such right. Both comp mics wished to reach
Butte with their roads. 1t was therefore
necessary for the Utah and Northern to await
the action of Congress to get q right-of-way
amendment to its charter or to organize an
other company under the Territorial law.
The latter has been done and the company
will soon have matured Its organization and
secured the right to right-of-way for q num-
Der Of lines to connect with or be merged In
the Utah and Northern. Meantime, the
Northern Pacific Company, which contem-
plated abandonment of the Deer Lodge Pass
route, had necessarily to organize new COM
pany If it desired to build road from Mouth
of Little Biackfoot to Butte. This has also
been done, the organization taking the name
of the Rocky Mountain Railroad Company,
and covering branches from points on the
main line to Butte, Benton, and the National
Park. Much Of the action this year has
