1t turns out that Bookwalter, who has
Just been nominated as Democratic candi-
date for governor in Ohio, is terrible per-
son. He has not been convicted of any
crime, political or otherwise, neither has
he ever been known TO have given or taken
brides; but worse than all this. Some rag
ing Republican editor with love of country
and a post office in his heart, and desire
for freedom and state Office in his mind,
has discovered that Bookwalter is a mon
:rchist. There is no especial reason for
arriving at this conclusion, any more than
general principles and Republican politi-
clans tendency to lie, but nevertheless 1t
has been arrived at. Now, it is terrible
thing to be monarchist more terrible in
a candidate whom you wish to defeat than
in a voter whose support you desire but
still terrible thing; in fact man had
better be dead than be a monarchist What
Bookwalter has done to deserve this horri
Bile charge is not exactly clear, but as an
exchange remarks it is doubtless because
he is manufacturer and has invented a
turbine wheel. These are doubtless good,
strong and sufficient reasons and cover
fully all possible contingencies of the case.
If, instead of engaging in his private bust
ness and furnishing labor to many hands,
he had consented to be politician all his
life, he might have avoided some
part of this charge, although
there would still remain the
damning charge that he had invented a tur-
bine wheel, thus reducing the cost Of man
ufacturing, and doing more to help the
price of labor than dozen protective tar
ifs. It is sad that Bookwalter is mon
archist, and sadder still that Democrats
should have selected him as their candi-
date, but then nothing else was to have
been expected of Democrats They are all
principles and platforms are all in favor of
monarchy whether constitutional or abso-
Lutte, Republican editors have not yet fully |
made up their minds, but there is no doubt |
about the monarchy; perhaps some people |
don't know it, but when we elect a Demo
cratic president for which the prospects |
at present look excellent for 1884, we ex-
pect to establish monarchy at once, and the
Duke of Nevada will shake hands with his |
Grace of Illinois, while the Count de
Jones and the Marquis F'itz Smith will
fraternate with my Lord McGilooly and
Baron Snitzbottom.

The following from the New York Iri6-
une is an affecting bit of assassination gush
when it is remembered that it was no long
er ago than 1872 when the Tribune could
not be too severe on the same person:
Three great loves he had-love of man
kind, love of wisdom, and love of work.
Anybody could interest him, he was so
democratic yet so enthusiastic A dog,
boy, a tool, a game, puzzle; they all pro
voked every fresh faculty. He was not
without galentry, but it was big and
motherly. Sympathy produced his sym
patty. Not one once did he ever add to
himself by being feared. Revenge was as
foreign to his nature as stimulation. Ana
lysis was not his habit; he acquired happi-
ness .by universally approaching others.
The nearer home you followed him the more
you found him priced. OF course this
sort of big apple in Congress was underes
timated, and was no exception to the rest.
saw him ever growing yet it seemed new
er great because he never acted great.
His arm followed his heart soon, and he
threw it around anybody he liked almost
unconsciously. He soon forgot scandal,
and it could prejudice nobody long in his
ewes. He failed to be an effective extorter
of places and patronage for friends. Grant
appointed female postmasters in his dis
trict or unknown folks of some old family
clews and it made Garfield look more lu-
dicrous than mad as he said: They are
just standing on their heads up in
my districtw Once he burst out, at the
age 40; Il suppose ! am foolish, but can't
bear to go around with enmities to anybO-
dy. There was one man who treats me so
outrageously that | thought my self res
pect would compel me never to speak to
him again Accordingly, when was pass
ing down street week ago, and he
turned the corner | was approaching and
came up the same sidewalk l raised my
head and felt my nostrils swell, and made
ready to go past him, till just as l came
opposite to him. something took hold of
me, and / crossed over and exclaimed,
-, you old scoundrel, how are you :? "
1t may be seen singular. but if had seen
him go up and break giants back like
Samson, he could not now be so vivid to
me as when he told me that incident. 1t
is in my mind the standard portrait of
him.

Many people who are nearly as crazy as
Guiteau, are wasting good deal of time
and trouble, which is, fortunately, not val
liable, in suggesting divers ways of punish
ing him. The different devices are summed
up by the Times as follows:
Some people wanted him tried for treas
on, Notwithstanding that the constitution
defines treason with particularly which
excludes an offense like Guiteau's. Others
wanted him dispatched into space by means
of a balloon. Others would have him torn
limb from limb, and one too-eager editor
rained maledictions upon the crowd present
at the depot because they allowed the as
sassin to be taken into custody quietly.
There have been suggestions that he be
compelled TO eat himself piecemeal; that he
be consigned to absolutely solitary confine-
ment for the rest of his days; that he be
devoured by wild beasts; that he be hung
alive in chains, there to perish of hunger
Taking hint from Hawthorne's Scarlet
Letter." a sanguinary literature person at
Louisville has this suggestion to offer: Il
would have the letter "A burnt into each of
Guiteau's cheeks. The papers would state
it everywhere The whole country would
know it and wherever Guiteau went he
would be pointed out as the cowardly as
sassin. He would be hated and suspected
by all men, and whenever he entered city
it would be announced in the papers; de-
tectives would follow him everywhere to see
that his motives were all right; he could
never sit down to a meal without having
the scarlet letters speak to all around him
that he was an assassin; he would see ten
der women turn from him with look of
loathing; strong men would scowl at him
as he passed by; no man would give him
employment; no man would give him nour-
ishment. In short, he would go to his
grave thing Of infamy, the monumental
cowardly assassin of the ages"

from the report. which was unani-
mously accepted:
For the year 1881. we find
two bids. one bearing date Septem-
Der first, 1880, offering to d. public
printing for 5000, the other bearing
date September fourth, 1880, Offering

Of said bids are signed by Milton KEEL

shows that the date has been changed

to render it uncertain as to whether
the bid was intended for year 1880 OF
1881. The contract however, for The

DRAMATIC.

The Idaho City Theatticals played
again last Monday evening, and ev-
cry seat in the hall was filed. The
troupe succeeded in pleasing the aud
ience to the utmost. The programme
excelled that of their first perfor-
nance, and every character was SO
we'll taken that none but favorable
criticisms have been given. In The
Miser Of Marselles, very difficult
drama, John Monroe took the leading
character, and the manner in which
it was played gave semblance of
reality-the first requisite of good
acting. In the last scene, after it
turns out that the miser, while walk
ing in his sleep, put down through
the floor by means of a trap-door the
bags OF gold which his seven clerks
one after another, had been accused
of stealing and en the evidence OF the
miser were hanged, Mr. Monroe did a
piece OF acting that cannot easily be
exceled. The ghosts Of the seven
clerks come up before the deranged
mental vision of the old miser and
begin to approach with outreached
:
arms. The old man fights off the I'M
aginary demons for a moment, but
they finally fasten their deadly grips
around his breathing apparatus and
after a few seconds of a desperate but
unsuccessful effort to get the breath Of
life through. the old miser falls back
dead. tits very difficult character to
play, but Mr.. Monroe proved to the au.
dience that he possessed the dramatic
talent required to bring it ont with
its proper effect. His makeup gave
him the appearance of genuine
miser, old and Grabbed. Jas. Cough
