A Chicago paper says: 1.-THE reports
that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
has absorbed, or is about to absorb,
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North
ern railroad are disproved by the record
of the stock market, the present con-
dition of the company, and the state
ments of the largest owners Of the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapeds & Northern
Railroad company's stock. The stock
is eighty to eighty-two, and if any at.
tempts were made to reach the control
of the company by purchases of stock,
the price would be nearer to 125 than
eighty. The board of directors is large
ly composed of All equal number of rep
resentatives of the Rock Island Rail-
road company. the Chicago, Burlington

THE ADVANCE.

THE ADVANCE
One of our friends came in the other
day and asked Us in confidential way
and almost in whisper whether the
ADVANCE was falling off much in CIR
culation. He had heard through the
Journal that the ADVANCE was declir .
ing and that the Journal, slop, sewage,
offal, and all, was advancing.
Lest some Of our friends should real
ly think that tho ADVANCE is not do
ing well, we can assure them, and give
them the proof at any time, that the
paper never was so prosperous as it now
is. Men do not pay up as promptly as
they did few years ago, just because
they have found the good-natured edl-
tor will wait them and continue to
send it as long as there is any hope.
But, with this exception that our SUBJ
scribers take advantage of our gener-
osity and sometimes play us q mean
trick, the ADVANCE is prosperous. It
is growing right along, like that big
tree at the northeast corner Of the park,
a steady, healthy regular growth. The
journal, we have no doubt, grows some,
too, like the tree at the other end of the
park which was scorched by the hall fire.
By-the-way, that illustrates it exactly.
That tree 1T the lower end was injured
and stuHted by the fire and has hard
time getting over it. The big tree at
the other end grows right along, has
never had a fire on it's hands, and is the
biggest, ''beautifullest" most vigorous
tree in the Park. That's the ADVANCE.
we make no boasts OF any rush of
business or of subscribers. We said
some time ago that we must have one
new subscriber for each day of this year,
or S65 new ones for 1881. This may not
he realized, but it is funny how the
thing works. A few weeks ago we took
nine in one week; week before last six;
last week five and this week eight. These
came to us without any asking or effort.
This is merely the moderate, steady,
healthy growth which we are entitled
10. flnanclally, the ADVANCE To-day
is the soundest concern in Worthing-
ton. On that side it is absolutely IN
vincible and safe. Politically, and in
other ways, it's influence is steadily
growing, because even it's enemies ARE
made to praise it'' and every man, NO.
man and child has confidence in it's hon
esty and independence. So our friends
need have no fears of the ADVANCE.
Only do rs you ought to do and pay us
what you owe us. Don't presume too
far upon the patience and generosity of
the iuvincible "Old ADVANCE"

TIM PRESIDENT SHOT

THE PRESIDENT SHOT,
We inclose supplement in this issue
of the ADVANCE giving the full particu-
lars of the attempted assassination of
President Garfield
Garfield said when Lincoln was assas-
sinated, GOD reigns and the Govern
ment at Washington still lives" We
can say, "God reigns and Garfield and
the Government still live" The ball
which was hurled at the President at
close range was turned aside by some
friendly spirit power and the wound is
not necessarily fatal. Garfield will live.
We maintained steadily all Saturday
morning when the first meagre and ter
rible dispatches were coming, and when
nearly every one was execrating the
'Conkling party' and laying the blame
upon them, that the shooting was done
by some lunatic on his own responsible
ity. Every fact since ascertained proves
this to be the case. There is no scrap
of evidence so far connecting this crazy
adventurer and religious fanatic with
any conspiracy to take the Presidents
life.
If the facts were otherwise, if Presi-
dents of the United States are to be
assassinated over u mere Wrangle about
patronage, then we must abandon the
present system and try some other.
The facts being as they are, we need
not moraiize, nor execrate the assassin,
nor do anything more than express
sympathy with the President and re-
joice that this event, which has little
more moral character than railroad ac-
cident; did not result in Garfeld's
death. If we should make any politi-
cal suggestion, it would be that the
killing Of Harrison and Taylor by poi
son, of Lincoln by bullet, and the at
tempt to kill Garfield, should set the
people of the Republic to asking wheth-
or a President is necessary, whether the
plan of An Executive Council is not as
efficient and vastly more safe, as it
would to a great extent do away with
the personal ambition to be the Ruler,
would render assassination of the Ex-
ecutive impossible and save us from
the dangers of Ceasarisnl, or personal
government, or One Man Power, or
whatever you may choose to call it,
For our own part, we should be pleas
Cd to see a movement inaugurated at
once to introduce this change into our
political system.

We seem to be in Il cycle of earth
quakes. A few months ago, Agram
was destroyed; then Ischia, in the
Bay of Naples, was shaken, and its
principal town thrown down; and
now Chios, better known as Scio,
has been ruined. This unhappy is
land, in which the Turks in 1922 anti
cipated Batuk, and massacred all the
population except 1000 souls, was
visited on the 3rd inst. by an earth
quake, which it is declared threw
down every house in the capital, and
half those in the surrounding villages.
From 1000 to 5000 persons were
killed at once, 10000 are homeless
and starving, all work being suspend
ed, and it is feared that the unburied
bodies will create a plague. Two
days after the great shock, human
beings buried in the ruins were still
crying for assistance, among them the
Controller Of the island. The Otto
man Government, the British Ambas-
sador, and the Greek Government
have each sent a ship with relief for
the unhappy people; but the shocks
still continue, industry is paralysed,
and no supply Of food likely to reach
the island can be of more than tenn
porary use. Its prosperity, already
once destroyed in this century, will
probably be arrested for a generation,
even if the surviving inhabitants
should remain.

This action OF Italy in the Tunis affair is
still uncertain. The Italians are extreme.
ly enrageJ, accuse the Carroll Govern
ment OF having failed in "conpetencc,"
and have so reproached General Caldiui
for {" French procliyities' that he has re-
signed his embassy in Paris. Rumours
have even been set sfoat that many lead.
ing Italians would not dislike to utilise
their very large army, and recover mice
and Savoy, and that a formal proposal has
been made to Prince Bismarck for a was
with France. All this must be exaggera-
ted gossip. That the Italians feel strongly
about Tunis ls true, but they are q sensi-
bic people, and will hardly risk their
national existence in a war for such an
object. They have only just reached q
surplus, and have entered into negotiations
for q loan to enable them to withdraw
their inconvertible paper. They will
there ia little doubt, wait their time, ard
meanwhile accept a Ministry formed by a
combination of the different sections of the
Left, with probably S. Depretis at its
head, with a policy of reserve towards
France and watchfulness in Africa. The
incident, however, has already cost France
more influence in the. Mediterranean than
the acquisition of Tunis could compensate
her for.
