GUTTEAU.

There is one question that nova day,
almost every American asks of his neigh
| Dor, and that is: "What ale they going tc
do with Guiteau?" and invariably the
answer comes back: Hang him, | hope
There is a unanimity of sentiment on the
question that IS truly startling and yet the
answer and question are both clouded with
doubt. Mark Twain tells little story
about a sea captain who had a favorite
negro cook, who was killed while in port
by sailor on another ship. The captain
arrested the murderer and was going to
hang him at once; the other captains in
terfered and said the man must have a
trial.
'"Trialr' said the would-be executioner
what do you want of trial? Did he not
kin the niggerf"
eyes; but you can't hang man without
a trial"
But didn't he kill tie nigger?"
yes"
"Well, then, hang him first and try him
afterwards; he killed the niger
That same sentiment is felt by all in re-
lation to Guiteau. Talk all you please,
you cannot disguise the fact that he killed
President Garfield, and no amount of talk
about inspiration can conceal it. He de-
liberately shot the Chief Executive of this
country, and although his own miserable life
is all he has to offer in expiation, there is no
ono but feaIC tbot - chnu1d bo toLau II;r
continued existence would be of no &C
count to anyone, and would be standing
disgrace to the country, besides being a
nuisance wherever he might be that would
be excuse enough for putting him out of
the way in order to abate

A Hungarian scandal is being discussed

A hungarian scandal is being discussed
in the Vienna press. 1t appears that dur
ing the autumn manmuvers in the
neighborhood of Miscolez, number of
cavalry officers were billeted at the house
of a respectable country gentleman named
Nicholas Blzony. The latter, an elderly
man, happened 10 have trifing dispute
with the troopers which was overheard by
the inspecting officer. Without making a
proper inquiry, the officer ordered the old
man to be corporally chastised in a partic-
ularly humiliating fashion. A complaint
was lodged by Bizony, a formal apology
was made, and the complainant consented
to forgive the officer, and promised to say
nothing more about the matter. The cir
cumstances, however, were reported in
official quarters, and Bizony, apprehendfng
a judicial inquiry, and being unwilling to
break his word, shot himself through the
heart, and thus died victim to his own
generosity. The Emperor will most likely
take the matter in hand.

Guiteau must go.
A sTALwaRT CABINET.

The stalwarts make the argument that
inasmuch as it is a matter of presidential
opinion who shall constitute the cabinet
that it is Arthurs affair and no one else's
who shall be appointed Hence they claim
that the half breeds had no business to ex-
peet that the old cabinet should be retain
ed. All of this is granted but in turn
the stalwarts must acknowledge that there
is change of policy in the administration
and that new order of things was inau-
gurated by Garfields assassination.

sEcoR robson SPEAKS FOR THE RE
PUBLICANS

| PUBLICANS.
In the debate on the Census Deficiency
bill, Secor Robson comes to the front
with his usual promptness to define the
position of the republican side, of which
he is now the actual leader. We quote
his words:
Il recognize, also. that there will be
deficiencies so long as we have progress
| i've and growing country, so long as the
| Congress of the United States does not
control all the affairs of the world, and so
/ long as the knowledge of the Committee
/ on Appropriations does not rise to the
height of omniscience, and so long as ex
ecutive officers have not the courage to
assume the responsibilities of their posi-
| ton when they know their rights"
As Secretary of the Navy, this grasping
jobber INDUCED in deficiencies as profit
| able luxury. He left one of seven mil
lions to be made good by his successor.
He got up the scare of Spanish war as a
double speculation IN stocks and in four
millions of jobs voted by republican
Congress. He had positive. direct, and
personal knowledge that Spain had agreed
to settle the Virginia affair, not only from
the Department of State, but from the
Admiral commanding the European squad
ron, when he insisted upon assembling
fleet on the coast of Florida as q sham TO
cover the enormous contracts made by his
brokers on that occasion for supplies that
were never used
Throughout the eight years of his corrupt
and infamous administration, which stand
apart in our history for their foulness,
Secor Robson revelled in deficiencies. So
that, after entering office literally out at
the elbows, as shown by investigation, he
is now one among the rich members of
Congress.
But he carries brand on his cheek that
neither time, nor wealth, nor Office can
efface. He may be accepted as the fit
leader of the republican party in the
House. He may pull the wires by which
the jack in the-box that sits in the speakers
chair may be jerked in or out at his pleas
ure. He may pack committees for John
Roach and his associatesd rings to shape
venal legislation. He may obtain a pas
sing official recognition of the power
which he parades as street walker does
the jewelry OF her shame. But whenever
he rises in the House, the brand of Pub
lie Plumber" viii stand redly out before all
the world as the indelible mark of his true

1xSW IOIhs - StlHCfCAtiy IeSCnb iCoaoA
TO spare no means or influence necessary
to build the Hennepin canal at as early 9
day as possibly, as check to the immense
growth of Southwestern commerce.
1t is deemed quite certain that. with "a
good waterway from Rock Island to Chi
cago, most of the products of the Great
Northwest will be sent to market by way
of Chicago and New York, and without
this canal that the grain trade with Eu-
rope viii largely go by way of New Or
leas. 1t is thus a matter of unanimity
with Chicago and New York that no de
lay should be allowed nor money spared
in the building of this canal, with capac-
ity ample enough to subserve the ends OF
the commercial interests involved for all
time to come.
There may be obstacles in the way OF
securing the necessary appropriation, and
among them are concessions by Eastern
interests toward the development OF the
resources of the lower Mississippi valley.
The cost of the building of this canal is
variously estimated at from four to five
million dollars, but would probably cost
double this estimate before finished, with
locks, bridges and everything ready for
permanent use. But its Importance to the
cities interested, in their immediate advan-
tages, growth, and increase of property
value, is enough to prompt the people
in doing the whole work by a
enterprise; but on the other
hand, if the government builds this canal
it should own it and keep it as means of
public revenue. Bloomington Pantagraph

SMALLPOX.

The Inter Ocean draws a pleasing pict
ure of the way in which smallpox is baud
led in Chicago.
The cheerful way in which a man dis
covered with the smallpox at one of the
hospitals is sent with letter" to the
Health officer OF the City Hall is very en-
couraging to speedy mastery of this dis
ease. The patient takes the letter and
walks or rides on a street car two miles
through the heart of the city, and before
he gets finally shelved in the pest house
has probably communicated the disease to
about forty persons, old and young.
