The Guiteau case has lately taken on a
new phase. In Boston a petition is in cir
culation, praying the President for a stay
of execution, on these grounds: First,
that for more than twenty years Gui-
teau has been hopelessly insane" this
being declared to be the concurrent
verdict of our leading authorities. "
Second, that under a right management
of the case, these opinions OF authorities
would have gone before the Court and
radically changed the character of the
trial. Third, that all civilized nations
are opposed to hanging the insane, and
d" no asylum would have refused admis-
sion to Guiteau." The petitioners, who
include some members of the medical
profession, ask for a commission of au-
thorities to examine and report upon
Guiteau's mental condition, as is the
custom in Germany and France before
the trial of persons showing signs of
insanity.

IMMIGRATION TO DAKOTA

Dakota is said to be filling up rapidly
with i'm migrants, largely Germans. The
advantages of locating there are summed
up in fertility of soil, which makes a
satisfactory pecuniary return almost a
certainty. The total cost of going there,
buying a l60,acre section of Government
land, breaking it up, cultivating it, and
reaping the first crop is estimated at
about $3.50. The value of the first crop
is fixed at 5000, and after that the ex.
pense will be much smaller and grow
smaller every year, while the return will
constantly increase. The disadvantages
are deficient wood supply, the bitter
winds that blow over the exposed prairie
land, the sever Winters and the COM
plete isolation during that season. Never
theless, emigrants continue going there.

TuE METHODIST REUNION.

The centennial anniversary OF the IN
PRODUCTION of Methodism into the United
States will occur in 1884. The Metho-
dist Church was divided by the war OF
secession into two branches-the Church
North and the Church South. That a geo.
graphical war line should divide the peo-
pie Of one religious sect, who are pre-
sumed to be seeking salvation along the
same road, is a remarkable, but not a
singular fact. History is full of holy
wars, and these have been wars wholly
the bitterest and the worst in the world.
The Methodists of our country have
shown that they can hold resentments
against, and be as uncharitable towards
each other, as ever were the Catholics
and Puritans of Scotland. While, dur
ing the late war, the Methodist minis
tiers of the North were pleased to display
their militancy, in some instances, by
wreathing their pulpits with the stars
and stripes, their brethren OF the clergy
South, though not making this display
of martial spirit, were not less eager for
the FRAY. Probably this church fur
nished the most determined fighters in
both armies, and had these been arrayed
solely against each other, armed with the
ancient hand-to-hand weapons of carnal
warfare, all of them from one side or
the other of Mason and Dixon's line
would have bitten the dust. But the
olive branch has been extended. The
Southern Methodists, the first to switch
off, have extended it. The "irrepressi-
BILE conflict" which has been so relent-
lessly waged for many years, is likely to
be abandoned. 1t is not altogether grace
full for professed Christians to be among
the last to shake hands across the bloody
chasm, for there can be but little balm
for them in that portion of the Scriptures
which says "There is more Joy in
heaven over one sinner that repenteth, "
etc. 1t is pleasing to think that this
important reunion is likely to take place
at so early a date, because it has looked
for years as though, by its postpone
ment, the millennium might be put of
indefinitely.

ley disaster! A mixed ticket this year
would repel Democrats on the one side
and Republicans on the other, and
neither side could poll its full vote for it.
The true policy of the Democrats is to
nominate the strongest straight ticket
that can be named from the material at
hand. If they can get the whole Demo-
cratic vote into the boxes, that vote will
almost inevitably elect. But any bar
gaining or coalition with dissatisfied Re-
publicans would surely leave a very
large percentage of the Democratic vote
unpolled.

The Denver Republican asserts that
''brains, not money, will win" in Colo
RADIO politics. And the Reno Journal
comments as follows:
Colorado must be an exceptional State.
In Nevada, whenever the two come in con-
tact, one blow from the "sack" knocks
the brains out Of a mans head into the
palm Of his hand. d.
Still the editor of the Journal, the
Hon. c. c. Powning, does not deny that
he is a candidate for Congress, and at
present he holds the honorable office of
Senator. He evidently has no conf
dence in the efficacy of "brains" in Ne.
vada politics; hence we must conclude
that he is going to fight without either
money or brains, or else he proposes to
use a club on the heads Of his constitu-
ency and knock their brains out.

steamer has been built for river navigation,

Alaska is within the mineral belt which ex-
tends through South America, Mexico, United
States and British Columbia, as far north as
prospectors have explored, leaving Alaska uu-
explored, and disclosed again in Siberia. The
party expect to be absent about three years.
The Veterans Home.
SAN FRANCISCO, May FIT has been decided
by the committee in charge to defer the selec-
ton of a site for the Veterans Home building
until sdvices, are received from Washington.
Congress refused to pass bills establishing
either separate homes or a branch home for
the veterans on this coast. A letter was re-
ceiyed in this city last week from General
Rosecrans, saying thst were the restrictions OF
Congress withdrawn, the Veterans Home As
ISOLATION at Washington would consider the
advisability of assisting financially the Veter-
ans Home organization of this coast. On re-
ceipt of this letter 1t was decided to suspend
the selection of a site as stated, and await the
action of Congress and of the authorities of the
National BONE. Their action will not affect
the location Of the building within the limits
OF this State.

will reach S75, 900: the insurance is less than
$4,000. The Clarendon Hotel narrowly es-
capped destruction. There was absolutely no
wind, else the lower part of the town would
have gone. The fire originated in the engine
room of Ainslie's planning mill, and had spread
to every building on the block almost before
the alarm was sounded.

THE STATEMENT by the evening organ OF the

vance copy of the report Of tho jury to the Sia,,

rage they would see tnat these ,, maiignant zig M
dicted them are adding materially to the vol
ume OF public detestation in which they are
held.-Erening star.
the Star means THE CRITIC, but by a
queer theory of that organ of crookedness
THE CRITIC has no existence.
On last Monday The CRITIC deliberately
and with full knowledge Of the facts
charged upon the Star that it had, by col
lusion with jesse B. Wilson, foreman, pro-
cured copy of the report of the Grand
Jury in advance of the filing of that report
in court. We showed that for Jesse B.
Wilson to do this was to forswear himself
as such foreman and grand juror. We
showed further that such action on the
part of the Star was indecent, dishonorable
and dishonest. The Star affected to treat
the charge with silent contempt" We
construed its silence as confession of its
shame and guilt, and the " slow, unmoving
finger of scorn' and the contempt of hon
orable men have stung it at last into the
above late, lame and snivelling attempt at
denial.
We repeat our charge: That by collu.
sion with Jesse B. Wilson, foreman of the
Grand Jury, the Star obtained copy oi
the report of that body before the said re-
port was filed in court. We charge that
in so doing Jesse B. Wilson foreswore him.
self as member and foreman of said
Grand Jury. We insist that by this dis.
honest proceeding the Star earned the con.
tempt of all reputable men, and we know
that it is receiving it. Its offense was as
cowardly as it was base, but is in accord
with the usual course of that sneaking
snivelling, hypocritical, but malicious ant
malignant, sheet.
Mr.. Crosby S. Noyes is the responsible
alleged editor of the Star.
