The report that Carl Schurz writes editorials
with one hand while playing a fugue from
soma old composer on the piano with the 9TH

And equally untrue is the report that he sets
all his editorials to music before having them
set in type, for the purpose of making them

PHILADELPHIA Press: Of all the men in
the United States who have felt the weight
OF the present affiiction upon none has it
fallen heavier than upon Secretary Blaine.
The loved friend of the President and his
most trusted adviser, he was present at the
assassination and helped both to catch the
assassin and to assist the President. Since
then he has been assiduous in his atten-
tions and attendance at the bedside of his
wounded chief. In addition to this the
weight of attending to the enormous and ex-
traordinary mass of messages of inquiry,
sympathy and coincidence from noted per-
sons at home and abroad has fallen upon
him. Many of these required his personal
answer. Above all, he has been the moviog
spirit in all questions of executive and Off
cial business, and has directed nearly every
Government movement. The shock of the
blow alone would be enough to unman and
distract any ordinary man, and that Mr.
Blaine has stood up under the work and the
nervous suspense is a testimony to his ex-
traordinary powers and ability which de-
serves 10 be thankfully and gratefully ac-
knowledged and recorded.

THE attempts TO put stop to steamboat

do great deal to put an end to that dam

COLLECTOR BEARD, in his Fourth of Ju-
ly address at Pittsfeld, Vermont, said the
following sensible things: If President
Garfield is to die and Vicc-P President Arthur
is to take the great and, under such circum-
stances, the terrible responsibility of the
Presidency, he is entitled to our full and
generous confidence. We are loyal peo-
pie, and whatever of dissatisfaction we may
have felt toward him for the last few months,
whether from real or fancied causes, we
should put away from us all feelings of dis
trust and give him loyal support, with full
faith that he will worthily fulfill the respon-
sibilities of the chief magistrate of great
people

The Presidents Condition,

Of necessity most of the opinions ex
pressed by the physicians in attendance on
the President are mere conjectures. They
are not yet aware of the extent of the mis-
chief done by the bullet, and cannot predict
the termination of the trouble. Like wise
men they do not attempt it. From the fav-
orable symptoms, which are happily on the
increase, they draw encouragement, and
they do not hesitate to report the unfavor-
able symptoms, which are, fortunately, les
sening. The wisest doctor in all the world
could not do more. They are waiting, anx-
iously but with hope, for the issue. The
strong constitution of the patient, and his
escape from the serious complications
which menaced him the earlier days of the
week, afford substantial ground for encour-
ageinent.
The President is still in critical condi-
tion. The chances for his recovery have
increased, but he is yet in great danger. If
he RECEIVERS it will only be after long ILL
ness. 1t will be weeks certainly, months
possibly, before he becomes well man-if
that result is ever reached. The progress
of the case and the examination by the ply
sicians indicate that no serious wounds
have been inflicted on the intestinal canal,
the larger arteries, the kidneys, or the gall
bladder; for great injuries in these parts
would have made themselves manifest be-
fore this. There is doubt as to the extent
of the presumed wound to the liver.
Apparently that important organ has
been but slightly torn, for the
hemorrhage has been slight. The chief
danger now to be feared is septacemia, as
the doctors call it-blood poisoning produced
by putrid matter finding its way into the
channels of circulation-or pyemia forming
assesses by contamination of the blood or
by its coagnlation when in vitiated state.
1t may be days before either of these evil
conditions manifest themselves-if ever
they do. Meanwhile we have this comfort:
the condition of the President has greatly
improved in the week since he was shot, and
we have good reasons to hope for fa-
vorable issue. That it may come is, we be-
lieve, the heartfelt prayer of every Ameri-
oaD

The business failures in the United States
during the last quarter, as reported by the
mercantile agency of E. Russell & Co., num-
Der HOS. with aggregate liabilities of $16,-
499,395, and average liabilities of S14,931.
During the first quarter of the year the
number of failures was 1861, with aggregate
liabilities of $24, Al, ,250, and average liabil-
tiles of $4,000. The failures for the first
quarter somewhat exceeded in number, and
the liabilities were nearly double in amount,
those of the corresponding quarter of 1880,
though very much less than those Of any
previous year since the crash of 1878. Those
of the second quarter were less in number
and amount than those of the first of this
year or the second quarter of last year. The
failures for the first six months of this year
are slightly in excess of the first half of last
year. The number is said by the mercan-
tile agency to be moderate, and to indicate,
with other evidence, favorable condition
of trade. The business of the country was
never so extensive, its productive capacity
never so great the ability of the people 70
absorb and pay for commodities has in
creased, and evidence is abundant of
growth in wealth and material resources
equalled by no other country in the world.

JUSTICE Stanley Matthews must have
changeable face. He has frequently been
mistaken for Grant, for Garfield and for
Hayes. General Grant, having the fact
