GUIrRAU's LAST ADDRESS. {"

We sincerely wish that the Eastern press
had common sense enough to refrain from
publishing the disgusting effusions which
Guiteau is so fond of preparing, and the
printing of which fills him with vain
gloriousness and gratifed vanity. 1t seems
to US that the American people have some
rights, and that one of them is to be pro.
tected against this kind of outrage. The
addresses which the miserable assassin
prepares are detestable in all ways. They
are silly. canting, impudent, absurd, often.
sive altogether. The reporters who accept
them for publication, the editors who allow
them to be printed, the press agents who
send them over the wires, are each and all
culpable. A decent regard for the memory
of President Garfield ought to have made
it impossible for the prisoner to gain the
ear of the public in this way. In fact, he
should not have been allowed to issue
this last preposterous appeal" After
the close of his trial he ought to
be confined strictly, and permitted no
further communication with the outside
world. 1t is really nothing less than out
rageous that he should be given free oppor-
tunity to abuse the jury that convicted
him, and to boast of the laws delays which
threaten to keep him alive so unnecessarily
and even scandalously. His keepers are
responsible for his utterances now, and
nothing justifes them in according him
any further license. The whole country is
sick to death of the wretch, and desires to
hear no more OF him until the time of his
execution is announced. tits to be regretted
that the Eastern press has not judgment
enough to realize this, but that it must con-
tinue to nauseate the public with further
emanations from the condemned cell.

NOT A FIT APPOINTMENT.

jeremiah Donovan, who calls himself
O'Donovan Rosa, has come forward re-
Gently as an applicant for position in the
New York Custom. house. A New York
journal suggests that there might be "a
'i certain degree of impropriety in taking
" into the service of the Government a
'' man who for months past according to
s. his own account of himself) has been en-
'' gagged in blowing up the ships and
arsenals of friendly power, or IN incit-
ing other people to blow them up" Don
ovan, or Rosa as he calls himself, has de-
clared that he was cognizant of the means
taken to destroy the British sloop of-war
Dotterel, and that he knew of the origin OF
the explosion on board H. NJ S. Triumph
on the Pacific coast. He has said that he
was engaged in the manufacture and dis
trlbution of dynamite bombs and other
internal machines for the destruction,
wholesale and retail, of the Saxons. 1t
is possible no doubt that the man
is phenomenal liar, but since the British
Admiralty are said to have reached the
conclusion that the loss of the Dotterel
was due to the explosion of an internal
machine, and since unquestionably similar
attempts have been made elsewhere. it i:
also possible that he is as great scoundre
as he represents himself to be. In either
case he would be a very unfortunate selec
ton for place in the New York Custom
house, and inasmuch rs he has frequently
boasted that he was making from five tC
ten thousand dollars year out of his dia
bolical contrivances, ii is difficult to under
stand what he can want with an office
Such man is discredit to whatever coun
try he affiliates with, in truth, and nj
Government can afford, if it values it's owl
reputation, to have anything to do with hi
kind

THE spUYqEN DUYvL VERDICT

The Coroner's jury in the Spuyten
Duyvil disaster have implicated a great
many persons. The brakeman of the
Chicago express the engineer of the
leading locomotives the conductor of the
same train the engineer OF the Tarrytown
train; the Superintendent of the New
York Central, and the officers and man
ayers of the New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad Company are declared
guilty of " criminal carelessness and cul.
"pable negligence in the performance of
their duties connected with said rail-
'roads. This is what may be called a
scattering verdict. 1t is so comprehensive
that we are afraid 1T will produce no effect
at all. The jury are no doubt right in
affirming that there is no excuse for such
a disaster as that OF Spuyten Duyvil, how
ever. For it is perfectly true that the
occurrence of that accident showed not only
the grossest carelessness on the part of sub
ordinate employees (notably the brakeman
and conductor of the Chicago express),
but it also showed that the management of
the road is behind the most careful and
best tested preventive arrangements of sci
entific railroading, Had the block system
been in use on the road, such an accident
could not have occurred, and there can be
no question that it is the duty of every
management to apply the block system
wherever there exists heavy traffic. In
this case negligence of very aggravated
character was shown, and the accident
not only need not, but ought not, to have
been possible. There is therefore no palli-
alton for it, but the Coroner's jury would
probably have produced more practical
effect had they not sought to hold all the
officers of the company equally response

A GOOD SIGN.

1t is reported that the Imperial rescript
recently made by the Emperor OF Germany
was not seen by the Crown Prince Frederic
William until it had been published. It
had before been rumored that there
was an intention on the part of the
Emperor and Bismarck in some way
to commit the Crown Prince to an Abso.
lutist policy. 1t has been well known for
many years that he has never been in sym
pathy with the Emperor on that head, and
that he admires the English monarchical
system as the best model of that kind of
Government extant. OF course it by no
means follows that he would retain this
theory after mounting the throne. All
history shows that the policy of the Heir
Apparent is naturally very different from
that of the Reigning Sovereign. Nearly
all heirs are liberal, while nearly all
sovereigns are conservative. It is there
fore quite possible that this may be the
case with Frederic William, and yet the
alleged exclusion of the Crown Prince
from the Imperial councils may also be

already been doomed to the practical ex-
tinction of its wheat shipping trade, by
means of the completion of superior trans

maritime business as may be held potwith-
standing the railroad, but she appears de-
sirous of driving away all her customers,
and no doubt that is kind of enterprise
very easily accomplished.

FOOLISH moRMoNs.

Judging from dispatch yesterday
morning, the Mormons entertain very in
adequate idea of the character of the con-
test between themselves and the United
States. They are represented as proposing
to "strike back by Showing up the
" private records of some of the Congress

pushed The dispatch states that

'' sonal records of the members who are

aging facts" Damaging in what way,

that it is of the least consequence what

lewd and dissolute habits, it would
not make the slightest difference to the
merits of this case. They are indicted as
polygamists. Do shey think, like Guiteau,
that they can influence the jury to acquit
them, by abusing the counsel for the pros.

egy amounts to. The members of Congress
are not on trial, but the Mormons are.
The latter are called upon to purge them
selves of polygamy, and they must do so
otherwise than by striking back" They
are engaged in an unequal contest, and
they must not make the mistake OF sup
posing that they can always get the better
of the United States by sheer impudence
and effrontery. For this time they will
find that even if certain Congressman can
be intimidsted, the whole country cannot
be, and that the whole country is deter.
mined upon having this evil of polygamy
extirpated, even if it causes the death of
the patient.

QUARANTINE AID PORT CHARGES IN
SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco is going from bad to worse
in the policy she holds towards her mari
time visitors. That port has earned and
obtained the reputation of being the most
extortionate on the face of the globe.
Pilotage, towage, dockage, wharfage, all
the charges that can be clapped on in
coming or outgoing vessels are there i'm
posed on so unconscIonable scale that save
for the name of the thing half the de-
mands are as impudent and as dishonest
as the stand and deliver" of the high
wayman. The charges for towage are
nothing short Of outrageous. They are
made in the most shameless and rapacious
way, without any regard to the cost of
the services performed. And of late a
new and most abominable impost has been
added to all the rest in the shape of quar-
antine charges. They have Quarantine

owners who submit to his extortion rather
than lose time. We presume that the
true secret of this complaisance on the
part of the consignees is that they do not
have to pay the money out of their own
pockets, and SO they find it comparatively
easy to sacrifice the victims, who are out
Of hearing and sight, and cannot help
themselves. The practice of this Quaran.
tine officer, as certified to by score Of
ship captains and consignees, is, to board
incoming vessels with passengers, Chinese
or otherwise, and then to force every pas
senger to be vaccinated, whether or not
the ship has clean bill of health, and
whether or not the passengers have been
vaccinated before commencing their voy-
age. The most outrageous illustration of
this mans extortion and lawlessness oc.

thoroughly competent physician. The
ship had clean bill of health. There was

Lawlor actually compelled the vessel to go

senger dollar for vaccination. Now this
is robbery, and there is no other name
for it, but if San Francisco cannot restrain
her officials from such scandalous conduct,
and if she cannot protect the shipping

which they are now subject, it will not be

interpreted as indicating a more serious
distrust of his politics than could be justi-
fed if they were merely the loose-hanging
theories of the heir. Yet if Bismarck
and his master dare not trust the Crown

him disposed to adopt far more liberal

THE RESIGNATION OF eAMBErFA.

Gambetta has been defeated in his un-
dertaking to secure Constitutional revision,
and has consequently resigned, with all his
colleagues. This is serious blow to his
ambition, and the more so because he has
brought the reverse largely upon himself
by his own overhaste and impatience of
constitutional restraints. He has for a
year past been chafng to get the scrutin de
hste adopted, and chiefly for the reason
that the Government could maintain and
strengthen itself very greatly if it had
that method of voting behind it. But he
