Guiteau's bullet has done its deadly
work only too well. The Presidents
death, which occurred Monday night
at 80 o'clock, was expected, but hope
had been so often revived that he
would yet recover that it was almost a
surprise. The entire country with one
impulse mourn his loss and pronounce
anew recriminatiOns upon the bastard
ly act that has brought them to this
grief. The peculiar sadness of the
case from the prolonged hope of recOv-
cry only to be finally disappointed has
been such as to leave lasting impress
sion upon the hearts and minds of the
best men of the country. The long
delay has, however, prepared the coun-
try for the worst. The contingencies
of his death have been discussed over
and over again. The public are pre-
pared as much as a country can be
prepared which does not think of such
things on election day. In spite of the
bad effect Of President Arthur's con-
duct in the war between COnkling and
the Administration, it cannot be doubt
ed that he is kind-hearted and we'll
meaning man. His actions seem rath-
er to warrant the opinion that he is
not strong, rather than that he is I'M
principled. The country will hope
for the best from his administration at
least. The country will be more open
to the influence of demagogues than
ever before, ready to put bad con-
structiOn on every act the new Presi-
dent may take. The opinion has al
ready been expressed that Mr.. Arthur
will not dare to change his cabinet,
but will carry out the policy of Presi-
dent Garfield. Such a suppOsition or
any standard of conduct thought of
based on such suppOsitiOn is essen
TALLY false. COnkling's unpopularity
was due to the fact that he attempted
to abridge the Presidents lawful pow
ers. Mr.. Arthur, as President, will bel
entitled to the same consideration. TT
is to be hoped his policy, his admins
tration and his appointments and other
official acts will be entitled to the
same consideration as. President Gar
fields. The President has met his
death by an assassin's hand. Through
out the long period that has elapsed
since he received his wound and his
death he has manifested christian
fortitude, willing to die, if God so will
ed. The example of his noble life and|
untimely end, both in political andI
personal view, is we'll calculated to|
kindle deep admiration of his charac-
ter and sorrow for his death. To the|
wife who is thus bereaved and to hiS|
fatherless children the sympathy of
the world will be poured out.

The prospects of violence being done
Guiteau seem imminent. The cor
oner of Monmouth county, in
which the President died, has held an
inquest over the body of the President,
and it is thought he will make such a
report to the Governor as will require
that Guiteau be delivered to the county
for trial. If such be the result of the
coroner's report, it is doubtful if Gui-
teau reaches the place of trial alive, as
organizations to effect his death are
known to exist in Washington, Phila-
ldelphia and New York. While the in
tense hatred with which Guiteau is re-
garded is perhaps natural, it would be
another foul blot on the name of the
Republic to have him dealt with in an
unlawful manner-a seemingly open
confession to the world that American
law is not adequate to meet an ext
|gency like the present. Guiteau should
be dealt with openly, tried and convict
ed, sentenced ard executed, in strict
conformity to law. Far better that
he escape and go UNPUBLISHED than that
illegal means be used in disposing of
him. Covering in his dark cell, he isl
indeed a pitiable and contemplate
specimen of humanity. Let him who
is disposed to allow his passions to go|
|unbridled look and gain lesson from
the picture.

Vice-President Arthur was sworn in
the same night that Garfield died, and
4 is now the President of the United
States. The oath of office was solemn
y administered, and it will be the be.
lief Of all good citizens that the new
President will perform his duties
faithfully and to the best of his ability
Mr.. Arthur is a man of little expert,
ence in Parliamentary bodies. His pub
lie acts will need to be looked upon
with indulgence and moderation,
rather than austerity and criticism.
1t is we'll for the new administration
that an hour of probation was granted
him between the time of the ringing
pistol shot in the Washington depot
and the death of Garfield. At the
time the President was shot, Mr..
|Arthur's course had excited wide criti-
|cism. Since the shooting his conduct
has certainly been discreet-a discre-
|tion that arose not from policy, but
from deep grief. The sight that the
people have obtained of the heart of
the man has resulted in placing the
new President in a more favorable
light.

The State Convention which con
vened at Madison Wednesday termin'
ated it's business the first day. 1t will
be gratifying to the many friends OF E
G. Timme to know the Convention
promptly nominated him to the Office OF
of State the first ballot. The
list of nominees is strong one, and
one that any consistent Republican can
heartily endorse and support in the
coming elections. The prompt ano
action of the Convention
lis commendable. The day of party
splits and "dead-locks," it is to be hoped
is terminated for ever. They will b.
frowned down by those who can never
forget that out of such contentious
grew that hellish conception by which
the country is to-day in mourning.

The Gar of Russia has visited En-

powers compensates for the danger the
Car of Russia is always surrounded
by may we'll be doubted. 1t is the old
story of the king on a magnificent

A very careful autopsy of the Presi
dents remains has been made and
although the proprlety of making il
was doubted at first the results have
been such as to cause relief. It has
been ascertained that the wound was
necessarily fatal. The long time the
President lived was due to good and
scientific treatment. No possibility OF
ultimate recovery has existed during
all this time. A careful record of the
autopsy is to be prepared, containing
the full facts of the case. The bullet
was found near the heart. The imme-
diate cause of the Presidents death
was a hemorrhage of one of the mes
enteric arteries, nearly pint of blood
Escaping into the abdomen. The vari-
Gus facts that have come to light in
this post moretm examination are
such as to cause relief. To know that
death was inevitable is relief now
that death has actually occurred.
