A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Times says some of the candidates for the
speakersh1p are conducting themselves in
a very undignified manner 1t says
The contest for the Speakership is de-
generating into something like a canvass
for the office of constable. With one or
two exceptions the majority of the candi-
dates are going around begging for votes
and prosecuting members as they arrive
No candidate for the effice of Doorkeeper
could call more persistantly and hang on
more relentlessly than Keifer, of Ohio.
His whole strength thus far consists in
boasts of what he can do. His Dragging
and his opportunities are making him the
laughing stock of the few members who
are not candidates. Messrs Kasson and
Hiscock are the only candidates who are
not conducting themselves in q digniied
way. The general scramble and struggle
for this place that is now going on arises
largely from the fact that the majority Of
the men who are working for it sre what
is known as small fry, who have no con-
ception of the dignity of the office for
which they are so clamerous. @#

The attack made SATURDAY. on Guitea

The attack made Saturday on Guiteau
should not be styled unexpected; in fact
it is a wonder that such an occurrence has
not taken place before. There are men in
this country, and plenty of them, who but
desire the opportunity to do the deed, and
who are rather anxious to make the oppor-
tunity if it lies in their power to do SO.
Guiteau's cry that his assailant should be
punished is puerile. whoever sheds
mans blood by man shall his blood be
shed" was prophetic, and the assassin of a
nations executive must not cry out if as
sassination is visited upon his guilty head.
If the power of the United States is strong
enough to prevent such a consummation
it must be prevented. Good government
and respect for the law demands that;
bat that men should rise up with a desire
for vengence in their hearts and a revolver
in their hands, is naught else than must be
expected; it would be strange were it
otherwise. Guiteau is not the first luna
tic who has imagined himself an instru-
ment of the divine will; and the man who
kills him can just as well claim to be sent
On heavenly mission, and viii receive
more popular sympathy in that claim, as
the assassin of President Garfield. The
law win see to it that Guiteau has a fan
and impartial trial, so far as it is able; but
there are many men who prefer their course
to that OF the law, and that preference
may be fatal to Guiteau.

The Chicago Tribune is authority for
this description of the late convention
miscalled industrial lately held;
The late tariff convention in this city
cannot be said to have promoted the cause
of prohlbitory taxation in any important
particular. In numbers it was not i'm
posing; and its discussions were not of 8
nature to increase public respect
for the wisdom or the discretion of the
more tariff" agitators. The convention
was called to meet in the Music-Ha1l,
which has one of the largest auditoriums
in the city. But from the first day it was
apparent that in point of attendance the
convention was a failure, and an ad-
journment was taken to q miniature hall
in the same building, where singing So
cieties are wont to hold their rehearsals
and masters of efocution exhibit the pro-
ficiency of their favorit pupils. The total
seating capacity Of the room was some $50,
and at no time was it more than half full
The whole number of delegates was 100,
including hired professional advocates of
tariff prohibition, distillers who desire to
have the whiskey-taxes abolished, and
Chicago manufacturers who were,
like the unwilling guests in the Scripture
narrative, compelled to come in" One
quarter of the nominal delegates were resi-
dents of Chicago who lent their names to
add lustre to the occasion, but were ex.
tremely parsimonious in testifying to their
presence to their interest in the discussions
The attendance Of outsiders upon the con-
vention was ridiculously small. The con-
vention may be charitably presumed to
have had an object, but what that object
was precisely 1t might puzzle. the delegates
to agree in saying In general way there
seemed to be "a nameless longing" among
the gentlemen present for higher tariff,
generous subsidies, and paternal policy
towards everybody but the farmers. There
was great diversity of opinion, however,
as to the objects which could bear higher
rate of taxation and the manner in which
the benefits of more tariff" out to be dis
tributed. Mr. Grinnell, of Iowa, for ex-
ample, exhibited an alarming degree of
obtuseness on the subject ofsteel rails; and
there were several delegates who had con-
fused notions about free ships. Then
there were persons who had the lukewarm
interest in taxes on certain raw materials
entering into their manufactured products
If a defnit program for a higher tariff
had been submitted, it would have encoun
tered very warm opposition.

zens and valuable subjects. IF every Jew
IN Russia should be expelled there would

the WESTERN FLo00S.
Cattle Druvned in Large Numbers.


CHICAGO, Oct. 81. Dispatches from Quincy
say that on Thursday night the water was
eighteen feet above low water during the past
tvepty-four hours. This is the highest ever
known in this season of the year, and eight
inches higher than the food of last spring.
Along the Sny the destruction is almost
complete.
The water 10 approaching Rockport, which
il four miles from the river. The people
north and south of the break are leaving has
tiIy for places of safety. Every road out is
crowded with teams. A large amount of live
stock was on the embankment, the owners
not having time to get their stock on high
ground.
The crevasse is thirtysix miles below
Quincy and three miles above SCOTS Land
ing, being nearly west of Rockport. The
break is three hundred feet wide, and Is cut
ting out the earthwork at the ends of the
crevasse. A large amount of water is pour
ing through the country inundating fields
and farms.
After the alarm was given many animals
were saved by swimming across the lake,
which now fills the low lands, but large num-
bers were drowned, the distance being so
great. Farmers, many of whom had some
hundreds of acres of fine winter wheat last
week and were promised large yield, are
camping along the bluffs with their families,
while some have left everything, and taken
their wives and children to Quincy.
Indian Grove levee gave away Wednesday
afternoon, sixteen miles above Quincy, but
the break is not dangerous. The most OF the
water is carried to Bear creek. The railroad
in this vicinity will suffer severely.
The Hannibal & st. Joseph track is under
water for some distance and all trains are
discontinued. The switchmen have quit
work, refusing to labor in the mud and water
which fill the yards.
The Quincy, Missouri & Pacific division Of
Wabash, in Quincy, has suffered but little
thus far, aside from the stoppage Of work at
the factories. Diamond Joe wharf boat is
entirely surrounded and in danger of being
carried away by the current. In the lumber
district q large force is required to keep it
from being washed away. On the Missouri
side the baton are flooded back to the bluffs.
The river just below the city is fully nine
miles wide
HANNIBAL, Mo-, Oct. 81. The break in
the levee fifteen miles below here, is re-
ported to be one through which the water is
rushing in tremendous volumes
and flooding the country. Railroad travel is
greatly impeded. The Kakuka & St. Louis
has abandoned all its trains to this place. 4
Warsaw special says the water tell one and
half inches in the last two hours. The
break in the levee four miles below has
widened to ne arly two hundred feet Nearly
all the corn in the bottoms is under water.
