WARD, THE Washington milkman who

WARD, THE Washington milkman who
shot Adler, has been admitted to ball,
but if Adler should die he will not
escape hanging-tbat is if the same
sort of men compose the jury that shall
try him as made up the jury that tried Gui-
teau 1t is true that though Garfield only
lived two months after he was shot, Adler
has lived four; but while there is well
grounded belief that death could have been
sverted by skilful treatment in the former
case, should it occur in the latter there is no
doubt whatever that the entire blame
therefor would be upon the man who fred
the shot, Then, too, Guiteau was crazy,
while Ward is sane.

We clip the following from an exchange
which every one of our citizens should cut
ont and paste in their hats More
towns die for the want Of confidence on
the part of business men and lack oil
public spirit than from the rivalry OF
neighboring towns or adverse surround
ings. When n man IN search Of a home
or business location goes to town ana
finds everything brm'ul Of hope and en-
thusiam over the prosr ects Of the place
aud earnestly at work 10 build mp the
town. he soor becomes imbued with the
same spirit, and az result he drives
down his stakes aud goes 20 work Win
the same interest. When, however. he
goes to a town and every one expresses
doubt and apprehension in the future
prosperity Of the place, moping about
and indulging in mourning complaints
about imaginary evils which are likely to
befall the town, he naturally feels it is
no place for him, and at once shakes the
dust from his feet, while be pulls with
all possible speed for some other town
Consequently, try and make live, enter
prising, progressive town out of the one
In which you live. When you are work
ing for or saying good thing for your
town you are accomplishing all the more
for yourself"
