The Nations Sorrow.

y ORDS are inadequate to
\N/ express the sense Of
shock, pain and grief
caused by the frightful
crime committed yesterday upon the
foremost ruler in the world. For the
third time in less than two score years
an American president has been strick-
on wantonly and without provocation
by an assassin. In the case of Lincoln
there was the intense excitement of
wartime to serve, not as an excuse,
but as in some degree an explanation.
In the case of Garfield there was the
ferment of faCtional strife. In this
case there is no excuse no extenuation,
not the slightest phase of popular ILL
WILL discord or excitement. A presi-
dent personally beloved and revered to
a degree unexampled among the past
occupants of his office: with not an
enemy in the world; while Joining
with his Countrymen in an Observance
OF popular character and while
evidenCng the rare kindness of his
nature by shaking his fellow citizens
by the hand, Is suddenly shot by a
man in whose way he had never laid
straw; and the enormity of it simply
battles comprehension.
What is it in our ways of life that
breeds the mania of president-shoot-
ing? These rulers whom the assassins
would remove are OF the people and
for the people. They come into power
at the peoples call and go from it
when the people will. Sometimes
criticism of their official acts is acrid
and fierce, but it was not so in this
case. No executive in modern men,
ory inspired less of that sharpness of
controversy which might work upon
disordered brain to generate the
notion of personal humiliation. The
inquiry puzzles and appalls. Before
it reason is stalled and conjecture
knows not which way to turn. The
one ray Of consolation which pierces
through the gloom is that only a luna
tic unused to the atmosphere Of
American civilization could have
planned or executed so irrational a
deed
From millions of hearts the fervent
prayer arises that the president may
live. But il Gods Providence shall
will otherwise, grand indeed will be
the record he will leave behind and
eternal the esteem which his men,
ory will command.

Newspapers that have not adopted

compelled by the demands of adver-

papers which a year or so ago never

charged in other cities one is from
Toledo, O., west of scranton, and one
from Providence, Il. J., east of here.
The Toledo Times. a morning paper
with circulation slightly less than
that of The Tribune, charges IS cents
per inch for any contract over 20
inches. For less than 20 inches the
prices range from A. to 9S cents per
inch. \ representative Of the Times
informs me, in confidential cOnvorsa-
tion, that there is absolutely no reduc-

Possibilities of 1000 Inches.

The most popular contract this fall
is 1000 inches. Under such a contract
an advertiser can run a four-inch ad
every day for a year, an cight-inch
al. every other day, a twclvc-i inch ad.
twice a week, or a column once week
He can omit his ad. for month or
two, using three or four quarter pages
or half pages later on. If he has a
special sale or a particular bargain he
can use extra space to excellent ad-
vantage, In fact he can use it Just as
his fancy dictates, paying only for the
space occupied when he has used it,.
The Tribune charges but 16 cents an
inch for a contract of 1000 inches.
which is but one cent an inch more
than one for 5000 inches would cost.
