Garfield Shot Down.

The assassination of President Garfield was at once recognized as the conception and act of a single individual of perverted notions, inspired by revenge for failure to be appointed to a foreign consulship. The perpetrat0r of the cowardly deed was Charles Julius Guiteau, g native or III nois about forty years of age, who, nav ing esaycd the legal profession ana faiied after an eractic career as the advocate of doctrines of questionable moral re form; sought political cffice and upon the rejection of his pretensions plotted the life of the President.

The Fate of shaffer.

Chicago Tribune.
 1t is manifest to any one, and most of all to the strikers themselves, that the strike. though not yet called of. is al ready a failurH, and many of them are acting for themselves, and quietly going back to work in their old positions, or seeking new ones They find that organ izcd labor will not support the strike, and that Shaffer has gone into 1t without money. or the prospect of any, to con tend against a corporation with a sur plus of millions. and that the public has no sympathy with the violation of con tracts. Shaffer must eventually surren- der, but 1t is of little consequence now when he surrenders. When the break cones 1t will be the end of Shaffer. He may go back into the mills to work. or he ma ytake up his old profession of preaching 1t matters little what he may do He will drop out of public sight.
 This has been the fate of every labor leader who has aspired to be d great strike leader when he had not the right on his side and the fate of every labor leader who has been a radical, an agita- tor. a demsR que, or q politician.

Yet that is pre- cisely what is going to happen, except that the fine new city, instead of being separate and self-contained. will be dis persed in sections throughout ,Ae whole of the metropolis.

THE THIRD PRESIDENT
TO FALL BEFORE THE BULLETS
 OF AN ASSASSIN.
The Death of Lincoln-The Shooting of Garfeld-How Arthur Suc- ceeded-Took the Oath
 of Office Twice.

Louisville Courier Journal
 The murderous assault upon President
 Mckinley by an assassin while extend- ing his hand in iendly greeting at the
 Pau- American Exposition in Bufalo re-
 called to the minds of the millions of American citizens who heard the first
 alarming reports of the dastardly attempt
 upon the life of the Chief Magistrate the
 instances in which similar assaults re- suited in the death of two or President McKinley's predecessors in in office.
 In the one hundred and twelve years since the installation of Washington as President, and the incumbency Of twen- ty-three of his successors. the assaSsina- tion of President Lincoln and Garfield are the only instances in which a vacancy In the office has resulted from that cause, and until Friday in which a stTi- ous assault was ever aimed at the hte of President. To contemporaries of these sad events their details are still
 vivid, while to the generations which have grown up since they are matters or his-
 thrilled the country as the present in cident has evoked.

The pledge of the Democratic party that taxes should not be increased was faithfully kept by the Convention. The State rate Is fixed at 6 cents on the $1OO as the maximum, which is one mill less than in the present Constitution. The County limit is retained at 50 cents on the Sl00 but counties. which wish to levy (. special tax for schools can do so, after a popular vote in its favor and provided that the increase does not carry the to- tai State and County tax above $l.25 on lRhe SlOO, which is the present maximum. Al great many counties in the State levy a great deal less than 50 cents. For knany years the levy in Montgomery County was 70 cents and this met all in- serest on bonds fixed roads and bridges and all other expenses. Owing to the Tact that County funds were not avail able on account of facts well known in this community. the Board of Revenue fixed the rate for this year at 50 cents and that will be ample to carry the County through.

Both the army and navy are losing familiar names by the operation of the retirement laws. Death is doing it's share too.

Ford Kent, Marcus P. Miller and Thomas Nj. AndersOn have been already retired. and will he followed this year by Generals H. c. Merriam and Robert H.

If he can hold his own for day or two longer, there is hope of his recovery and resumption of the duties which he has been discharging so satisfactorily.
 Aside from the fact that Mfr. Mckinley is the President of the United States and the interest that would naturally be ex- cited on that account. there Is pro found feeling of sympathy for the man. He has undoubtedly made 6 deep i'm preston upon the hearts 9f all the peo- pie, and they watch with eager interest for news from his bedside and hail with delight every encouraging word.
 THE TROUBLE AT FALL RIVER.
 The supremacy of the South in the manufacture of certain classes of cot- ton goods Is recognized the world over. No where is this more the case than in New England, once the head and centre of the textile business. There has been some troubles recently at Fall River. Massachusetts, and commenting on 1t The Lewiston CMe.) Journal says:
 The trouble with Fan River is that too mary of the mills have failed to put in advanced and fine goods machinery. The crude is always more apt to be over done, especially in good times, than the should not be used in plants that fel- low who is half asleep can successfully run. The position of the North in tex tiles was never imperiled save by North fine goods. Print cloths are easy south ern game. If our mills in Lewiston did not spend many thousands a year for finer machinery and turn out more ar- tistic goods from year to year Lewiston textiles that the city fills today. There is no way to win out in this world ex- cept to keep up to date, and in a rap idly advancing society like ours, consunl- ing finer goods than any people on to the band wagon. To charge off against labor the blunders of a coarse pi ogram is neither economic nor hu- mane. The passing of the coarse must be transformed into the advent of the fine.
 Don't fool yourselves about the South sticking to coarse goods. Already a number of mills are making fine goods and with great success. Some of them are located in Alabama and the number will grow year by year. The cotton mil located near the cotton field has an ad. vantage which can not be overcome.

Under the present Constitution the city Of Montgomery can levy 50 cents .cr the $100 to m eet general expenses and $1 addition on the $1Oo to meet interest on debts in existence in September, 1875. For years the City Council has levied a tax of 50 cents for general and 62 1-2 for special purposes. It has been we'll known all the time that 50 cents would not meet the general expenses and part of the s2 1-2 special, has been taken for general uses. Ou: people periodically submitted to 1t, although if a case had been brought in court it might have been prevented. It certainly demonstra- ted the pride which the people of Mont gomery take in their city and their de- sire to have it meet all its just obliga-
 tions. The new Constitution allows a
 flat rate limit of SIPS out of which must
 be met every obligation of the city, and | under that there can be no question as to the legality of any levy within that | limit 1t is not likely that the Council
 will have any need to go above the
 amount that has been levied. If part of | the special taxes in recent years had
 not been used for general purposes our splendid school system could not havl | been maintained.
