THE English Government has evidently
determined to protect the route to India at
all events. Military preparations are being
pressed energetically forward, and if it be-
comes necessary, British troops are to be
landed for the purpose of frustrating any
attempt that may be made to render the
Suez Canal impossible. British interests
certainly render this course imperative. A
blockade of the canal would infiict incalcu-
liable loss upon England, and to effect such
a blockade would not be matter of any
very great difficulty It is pity, however,
that the necessity for energetic action
should not have been earlier appreciated.
Much trouble and bloodshed might have
been prevented by a timely show of force
and spirit.

KENNEBEo JOURNAL: The Republican
party enters the campaign this year with no
discord in its ranks. All the elements of
which 1t is composed have united to sup
port the candidates nominated at the
State Convention. They will also work
together in harmony in regard to
county officers and members of both
branches of the Legislature. The
Bourbons have taken great pains to create
division, but have not succeeded. They
have sought to form Thomas party, a pro-
hibition party, civil service reform party,
sorehead party, in opposition to the Re-
publican party and its nominations, but in
spite of all their tears and curses, their fat
terry and abuse, the Republican party is
grandly coming up to the work with united
and invincible columns.

The Last of Guiteau.

Charles julius Guiteau, the murderer of
President Garfield, has gone to his final ac-
count, followed 10 the scaffold by the exc
crations of nation. His enormous con-
ceit served him to the last and he met his
fate with tolerable frmness. The devilish
temper that characterized his life was en-
phasized in his last hours, and he died
cursing the country he had so cruelty
wronged.
Guiteau's doom was fully deserved. No
right-thibking man can question his guilt,
or the fairness and patience with whiebshls
ial was conducted. He was given oppor-
4. tiles for defense never before accorded
to an accused criminal. The widest latitude
was allowed him. Special favors were
granted him. Every aid that law could rem
der was freely rendered And, after a trial
unexampled in length and unapproached in
hberality to defendant at the bar, he was
convicted of murder. In no other country
under the sun would such license be given
to criminal--a license that frequently ex-
ceeded justice and reached generosity, and
sometimes became offensive to both. No
complaint can be made that the fullest ia
clites were not offered to the defense or
that the verdict was not in accordance with
law and evidence. The country is satisfied
that justice has been done, and men will
breathe easier because the wretched burden
has been removed.

THE Advertiser with great persistence and
constant iteration insists that it is Republi
can and speaks of the recognition of its
real attitude as ''reading it out of the par
ty." The PRESS don't read people out of the
party; it much prefers to read them in.
But as the Advertisers notion of indepen-
dence seems to involve steady opposition to
the cause it processes to espouse, we
thought it necessary to explain the situation
early in the campaign. If the Advertiser
could once be induced to call itself Indepen-
dent Democratic, the Republicans would en-
joy its valuable support. The Advertiser
will not go TO Cork unless it can be made to
believe that it is headed for Limerick.
Meantime in its assertion of its political
position it has the hearty approval of the
Argus, for which we extend our congratula-
tions. 1t is pleasant to see our neighbors
in such perfect accord, suggesting the ac-
tual approach of the millennium.

SEVENTEEN years have passed since the
war closed. The Democratic party has held
control of the House, the only chamber
which can reduce taxation, during six years
of this period, over one-third. The only re-
duction of taxation made during this period
was on tobacco and quinine. In the eleven
years during which the Republican party
has controlled the House since the war, it
has remitted taxation to the amount of
$780, 100000, reducing the revenue to the
amount of $2O7, 100000, and proposes now
to strike off upward of So, 900 of taxes
and may remit as much more.

THE Republican national policy with re-
gard to the management of the public debt
has been so wise, so statemanlike, SO sound,
SO honest to the national creditors, yet so
little burdensome to the people, that all the
Republican States of the north and west
have initiated it in the management of their
own State debts, and have thus been enabled
to pay off and reduce both the principal and
interest of their debts without increasing
the burdens of taxation.

FAIRFIELD Journal: The Republican
candidate for Governor, Col. Robie, has

THE dependence of most other branches
of business on agriculture has striking il
lnstration in the close watch which every
body is keeping of the crops. This is not
wholly, though largely, the consequence of
speculation. 1t is of the utmost importance
to the railroads, in business way, and not
merely as affecting deals in their stocks, to
have heavy crop movement this year. Mr..
Vanderbilt hit the nail when he told an in
terviewer the other day that with hundreds
of locomotives idle in the round-houses it
stands to reason great many men must be
out of work. The strongest influence on
the side of peace between the trunk lines is
the well-grounded hope that before many
months they will all have all the business
they can handle. About as close watch is
being kept of our crop returns in En5land
as here at home. The appearance of un-
mistakable evidence that it is to be big
crop this year will be followed in short or
der by fresh British investments in this
country.

Memorial Day.

Memorial day in Marietta was duly OBJ.
served AT o clock a large crowd assem-
bed at the Confederate cemetery. The
Marietta Cornet Band discoursed beautiful
music appropriate to the occasion. The
speakers stand WAS beneath the branches of
a huge oak and was festooned with ever
greens and flowers. The exercises were
opened with touching prayer by Rev. D..
L. Buttolph. F. A. Irwin, Esq, then in
troduced the orator of the day. Hon. Sea-
horn Wright of Rome. His speech was
concise and pertinent, and embodied some
beautiful sentiments After its conclusion,
many of our citizens crowded around him
and congratulated him on his creditable eff
fort. The band then played piece. and our
citizens proceeded in the discharge OF
the loving and sacred duty of decorating
the mounds of the silent heroes with
springs choicest and sweetest flowers. An
unusual interest was taken in the exercises,
which must have been quite gratifying to
every Southern man and woman who cher
shes the memory of the boys who died in
defense of the 'Lost Cause" AS the day
annually recurs, may fair maidens and true
men keep this beautiful custom in observ-
ance, in commemoration of the matchless
valor and heroic deeds of men who died
for what they deemed was just and right.
Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
and let their memory be kept green in
grateful hearts.

GOING HIM ONE BETTER.

An ingenious tramp, thinking to
wiring tears and money assistance
from the stoniest hearts with new
schems, gave it an experimental
trial 10 the North end. He has de-
cided not to patent the inventioP.
He told North end lady of bic un
fortunate condition, and asked if he
might eat some OF the grass 10 the
yard. The lady, not less amused
than surprised, said:
Certainly"
He went out, and, getting down
on sill tours, commenced on the
grass after the neglected and never
popular fashion of Nebuchadnezzsr,
and apparently not enjoying the diet
any more thao that ancient sinner OF
of olden time. Presently the
tramp's anxious eye caught sight OF
the servant girl beckoning to him
from the back yard. He thought a
rich reward for his humility was 10
store and instantly responded.
