The grain and provision market h as
rather sickly appearance at Chicago.
The operators are trying to keep prices
above the shipping point, and the con.
slant tendency is to sag. Prices are
relatively cheaper in the East. Our la
test Now York advices are TO the fol-
lowing effect, as respects wheat:
efforts to promote an advance in
prices have been frequent, but not
well sustained, and prove to have but
momentary results, giving a feverish.
unsettled tone to the market. The
impression gains ground that farmers
are holding back supplies to an extent
seldom before known in this country.
and that receipts must eventually in
crease at the Western markets after
the holidays. Foreign advices have
been dull, and the West of Europe is
evidently under no apprehension of
any deficiency in The supply of whe at

shipments faom the Atlantic coast of

James.
blessed 10 the man that endure.h
temptation. for when ne is tried he shall
receive The crown Of lie which the Lord
hath promised TO them that love Him.
Let no man say when he is tempted, Al
am tempted of God :" fo- God cannot
be tempted With evil, neither temptetll
he any man."
These are two very nice points to be
made on the relations OF this passage
to the case OF the assassin of our late
President. He says that he resisted the
divine inspiration as long SIS he could /:
he wanted to he excused; but was urp
ed on by the inspiration aud YVES com.

was not his own act but the Deity driv.
ing him on. Yet the assassin knew
that God does not and cannot urge men
TO do wrong; he knew it was not law
full for him to kill the President. and
that God could not urge him to do the
wicked deed.
But the second point also has been
overlooked thus far in all the trial. It
is this: There is no proof that the as.
sassin ever supposed that God was in .
stiga,ing him to the crime! 1t is s,o.
ry of his own making, and there is not
shred or shadow of evidence that he

taken for granted oil along that Guiteau
was thus deluded, and the only ques
ton seems TO be twas he so deluded ms
to be Irresponsible 2" Experts may
judge him to bo insane. But all the ex-
perts in the world cannot provo tha, he
was truthful in his plea that he was in :
spired of God to STAY his man. In the
very nature OF the case it is impossible
to prorc that he thought himseif thus
Impelled.
The law of man simply asks: "Did
he commit the crime ?' and twas he re
sponslble at the time ?" If ho offers
decisions as the excuse for his crime.
1t must take some better evidence than
his own word. to convince jury OF the
fact. But in the nature Of The case this
fact cannot be proved.
Aud it would be fearful state OF
things if murder we're to be excused on
the murderer's plea that he thought the
Lord told him to kill. Every bad man
would put in that plea, with the same
assurance that Guiteau processes, and
religious murders. in the name of God
would soon become the order of the day
1t ia high time that our courts made
quick work OF tue insanity dodge"
when set up by responsible criminals.
The law is very plain, and The grounds
on which responsibility is determined
are clearly defined. There i, TOO much

THE last sad rites bave been paid to
James A. Garfield. His tragic death and
large intellect will make his name a
household word. Next to Washington
and Lincoln his memory will be cherish
ed by tie American people. There is
something so pathetic in the struggle of
Garfield against death, such an evidence
Of courage and manly fortitude, that he
is looked upon as hero and q martyr.
People are wiling to give him credit for
the possibilities that were in him and
estimate him for what he might be rather
than for what he was.
His death has originated great deal
of gush and sentimentality that had much
better been allowed to lie dormant
Grief is always natural and seldom mani
tests itself in extravaganza, nor is regard
shown by pomp and demonstration
The president was a man deserving of
honor, both on account of his position as
100000 aausrO1i tsuu UcUIuoU uuC
great qualities of which he was possessed.
But people are too practical in the nine
teenth century to run ''mad with grief. -
The ''trappings of woe" are often sham
and observance of form is not the best
manifestation of sorrow.

THE nomination of Prof. Graham by
the republican state convention, for state
superintendent is in every respect cred
liable one. No other person in the state
is so well acquainted with the needs Of
the common schools. State superinten-
dents, as rule, give their attention to
institutions that are already sufficiently
cared for, but the country schools are
allowed to grow up in neglect. Matters
will be reversed should Mr.. Graham be
elected. His administration will not be
empirical as he has the light of expert
ence to guide him. He is emphatically
the man for the common schools. An ear
nest worker, an educator whose reputa-
ton is not limited by state lines, his
election viii be harbinger of better
things.

The ticket presented by the republi-
cans of the state is, with tho exception of
Graham and Timme, a weak one. The
head OF the ticket is particularly weak,
as much SO through the manner in which
his nomination was secured as through
that which is inherent. The state ring
which manages republican conventions,
IS supreme and that party has simply to
indorse what has for some time been
determined by the few who give their
time to politics. The nomination of
Graham was the only thing unexpected,
and it compensates in large degree fo-
the wretoEea character of the rest of the
ticket.
