THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1881, DEATH AND ..BURIAL OF PRESIDENT - GARFIELD, Back numbera of Tie Trinene containing a complete account of the death and burial of Presi- dent Garfld, commencing toith the teaue uf Sept, 20, and ending with @ description of the obseguice at Cleveland, can bo had in wrappers at 6 cents each in the counting-room. Extra cupies have been printed to supply thedemand, i —_—_—_—_ ‘Tius Republican party has never clected a President from the Eust, It ‘cannot, there- fore, tell preelsely what a President from that section will be tke, ‘Lhe West is disposed to elvo President Arthur 9 generous support. Why it desires to haye tho fact remembered $s, that up to this time tt hag had the ruling voice In the councils of the party; has nom- inated all the Republican Presidetts and Glected them all, and has not known what It was to tako a back seat in any Administra- tlon, Our advice to medicai gentlemen who ara about to writo treatises uxpoging the igno- rance of the President’s doctors is: Don’t, Tho dangor {3 that persons so inclined wilt expose their own ignorance, and nobody else’s, None of them, with the posstble ex- ception of Dr. Boynton, hns the data for making up 2 caso; and ho ean luive nothiug of yuluo to say unless he Is prepared to ehargo the Presiderit’s physicians with mal- practice, Then his remarks should bo in the shape of a criminal Information, not In that of a professional dissortation for the beneflt of lay readers, Coutl the Prestdent's life have beon saved? ‘That is the question, and the only question, In which the gencral public haga particle of Interest. If Dr. Boynton is not prepared to take the aifirmative of that question he would better say nothing, except, as an Enstern newspaper suggests, “in a professional manner to a professional audi- ence.” Senator Cocxnenr, of Missouri, Is satd to be favornblo to the election of Senator Davis, of IiMnols, as President pro tempore of the Senate. If Senator Cockrell has fully committed himself to this position he has shown his wisdom. Senator Davis is tho ouly member of tho Senate the Democrats can surely elect President, and keep in office after he has buen elected. ‘The Senato being Qpermanent body, there is nothing to pre: vent tho Republicans from undolng ‘the work of the Democrats nt any time. With the vote of Senator Davis thoy will have a majority of two, and without ils vote, If he should snerely absent Inmself from the speclal session, they would have a wajorlty of one, as soon as the Senators- elect from Rhodo Island and Mew York were admitted. Nothing but the consent of Sen- ater Davis would bo wanting at any tine to make jim President of the Senate, Ho Would be more acceptable to the Repubile- fn than uny Democrat; and If he should be called to net as President the country would haye entlre confidence in hl, Too uci hnportance has perhaps been wiven by tho loose writing of persons who ave not examined the luwa on tho subject to the question of tho election of a President of the Senate protem. It!s Important that thereshould be such an ofilcer to provide for contingencles, but it is not so huportant who that person should be. Jf President Arthur should div suddenly the President pro tem. of tho Senate would fll his placy onty until & new élection could be held, unless the President was in the lust eighteen months of hls term. Provided thly were not the case, and the vacancy occurred sixty days before the first Wednesday In December, the election would tuke pluca on the usnul day in the ensuing November, [f there were not sixty days Inter- yening before the first Wednesday In De- cember (the day for the meeting of the Elect- ‘oral Colleges), and the President was notin the Just elghtegn months of his term, the election would take place Jn November of the following year, When the President dles |) ils lust year, or too Jute for the legal noties ta the previous year, his successor, win ther Vresident of the Senate or Speaker -conncetion with star-route matters, of the House, Mls out all the inexplred term. If Preatdout Arthur should dite be- fore tho Sih of next month his successor wauld be chosen ata popular olection to be hetl Nov. 8 next, If:he should dic after Oct. 8, 1881, but before Oct. Sof noxt year, ils sttecessor would be similarly chosen Nov. 9, 1883, and so on unless he should dio after Oct. 3, 1883, in which ease the President pro tem. of the Senate would fill out all tho une expired term, A Prestdent chosen at nv syeclal election would begin to serve instant- ly upon the declaration of the result by Con- gress, Which would take place ordinarily on the secon Wednesday in February, two weeks or more before the customary inaugu- ration-uay, Wiiattan Warren Pires has promptly sent In his positive resignation of the post of Minister to Austria, Attornoy-General 3 Vengh has tkewlse informed the President that his resignation from the Cabinot was not intended to be an empty form, but n sincere oxpression of lis wish to retire from office. Both theso gentlemen were Independent Re- publicans. ‘They represented that wing of tho party In President Garticla’s Adininistra- ton. They doubtless feel that there will be no place for thom, or any Itke thom, under Vresident Arthur, But they may be mis- laken. It{!3 unfortunate, at least, that they havechosen to forcethe fighting, While they may be anxious to relieve the new President from any possivle embarrassment, thoy owe iteto themselves and the principles which thoy uphold to give Gon, Arthurs full op- nortunity to declare himself with reference to that clement tn the Republican party which they represented. Their resignations should have been felther more nor fess per- emptory than those of other members of the Cabinet and the foreign Ministers, ‘Tne Extremo Left of the French Chambers has issued a manifesto against tho war in Afrien, and the Cavinct Counell has solemnly declited to ignore the publication In question, But the Cabinst Council cannot much longer Ignore the fact that tho war was Hl-ndvised, and hns already cost a sum of monoy that will, be poorly represented In tho com- plote conquest of Tunis, Louls Philippe wittlly said that France had one “opera- box’? In Africa in the shape of Algeria, and would not soon caro ta havannother, But the French Iepublic has already indulged in the extravagance of a second box—this time at the comte opera. ‘The only country that can possibly gain by having France em- ployed in Africa Ig, of course, Germany; and Princo Bismarck Is sald to be already con- eratulating himself upon the masterstroke of policy which allowed his heriditary foo to have a fair fold and no fayor on the other side of the Mediterranean, Even italy {3 sald to be now almost reconciled to the situ- atton; for, ag Mr. Grant Duff remarked tho other day, Italy has been saved by the French intervention in Tunis “from the ru- inous imprudence of some day intervening there herself.” Tuune fs oceaslon for surprise at any time when wheat rises seven cents a bushel In a singio day, but such surprise is naturally In- crensed by the present unhealthy conditions of the market. ‘he freight rates are un- precedentedly low, and yet the grain at rul- ing prices in Chicago Is not shipped to the seaconst except ata loss to the speculative holders, ‘Lhe local warehouses aro nearly full ata season when the grain ought to be golng forward to the Enstern and forelgn markets, Both buyers and shippers must look forward ton large advance in frelghts ‘ag soon ns lake navigation closes or the rall- road frelght war 1s ended, The wheat crop niny be largely short and the corn crop under an average, and yet the surplus, whatever tt may be, will be coming In within the noxt sixty days; it cannot be stored if the ware- houses remain full, and must be shipped at whatever the railroad companies may sea fit to exact for its carriage. ‘Tho bulk of any advance In rates must be borne by the prod- uce itself, and Jesson tho value thereof at. the point of shipment. ‘Tho high and strong inarket for produce under these adverse con- ditions is certainly the most remarkable ex- perience known on the Board of Trade these many years, ————— JErFEnsoy DAvis expresses 9 character- Istlu desire to Ive long enough and have strength enough to pervert American history for the benetit, of Southern school-children, Tic has written the following lettor to two Mississippt girls, students at the Port Gibson Collegiate Academy: 1 My Dean Litre Frimnps: I fool very senst- bly the compliment contained in your request that I should write a history of the United Stutos which tt would uot pain you to recite.

Tho chiot significance of all this ls that the spolls-hunting schomers, who look upon Arthur's accegslon to the Prestdency aS Hew opportunity for thomsolves, have sitececded in spreading the Jmpreasion that p radical change Is tobe made. Any such tin pression Is a point guined for them, s\nce jt Rous to accustom the public julnd to the con- templation of a break-up of Garfield's Cabl- net, But the product of aspirants for Cabl- Net places growing out of the accepted theory of change Is something appalling. ‘I'he no- bodies who are mentioned in connection with n new Cablnot oxceud ir number and in obscurity those who put themselves forward atthe time the Jute Presifent Garileld wos engaged In making up hia Cabinet. ‘There seems to bea purpose in cortaln quarters, too, to mallgn tha Acting President Ju ad- vance by fustening upon him mon whom he could net summon to his Cabinet without bringing his Adumlnistration into contempt, This effort nay be sufficiently Ilustrated by mentionlng the name ef ox-Sonator Dorsey, which has beon heard of lite vrineipaily in Mr. Dorsoy Is not the only unfit person, however, Who has beoy pyshed to the front In these rumors and speculations, which shguld jo rogatded as unfulr to Prestdent Arthur until contirmed by some act of his own. ———_—— ‘Tuy Stato Uoard of Hqualjzation has xed the valuations of property for taxable pyre poses iu thls Stato for the present year, ‘The propositions to pile up the valuntions for this county were, a8 usual, sovere, but were eventually reduced to mercly a-smull ad: vauce over that of last yea, ‘ho represunt- allvgs from this county hibored wilh great zeal, and white they succeeded In having tho figures reduved to reasonable rates, it ly pers haps to be regretted tat they were as sue- cessful ag they proved to be, ‘Lhe addition of $40,000,000 oF $50,090,000 to the valuation of this county would not have been a great calamity. ‘Tho State Lax Isso light that tho (lifference in the valuation would have amounted to very Nttlo In the taxation of this county.

THE GAMBLING IN GRAIN. Tho London Times ot Spt. 14 begins an editorial denotneing the Liverpool * cotton corner’? in these words: Tho arrest of nwreat industry, and tho sus. Ponston of the wages of a large tumbor of oper- Atlvos, ns tho result of tho pracegdin sof A ring of ganblors, are matters which it is limposslblo toregard with indifference. Tho gambling by corners In cotton is a small business compared with tho now con- mon practlee of gambling in the grain pro- duetions of tho United States. Last month there was 4 corner In wheat in this city, which closed at the end of the month, leav- ing, It is represented, clear proilt to tho operators of $3,000,000, It 15 sald that an- other corner In wheat is now progressing, In whicli it is represented that tho suevessful managers of the August corner.are now on tho outstde, witha prospect of being phin- dered not only of their August gains, but of a large amount in addition. As this corner bustness is not confined to wheat, but may bo repeated every month In the year In corn, oats, bariey, pork, lard, and other grain and provisions, tho field for gambling In all these productions ty a large one, Moreover, tho stocks of these commodities are so grent and tho facilities for transportation to’ tho cor- nered markets ara so extensive that it now requires an Immense amount of money and credit to successfully matn- tain ono of these operations, ‘Tho great abundanco of money now In tho United States has given an hnpetus to speculation which fs without precedent in this country, and a resitlt of this Is shown, as was stated in this paper yesterday, inthe fact that all the warchouses in Chicago and most of the warehouses within 800 mites of this clty are filled to thelr capacity, and harily a lond of tho standard grades of wheat or corn iy sold for shipment. ‘This is extraordinary at this date. ‘here are no tess than 7,000,000 bushels of corn now warehoused In this elty atone, ‘The speculators own all the grain Nero and In tho warehouses in the surround- ing country, and are holding It at prices which do not admit of its shipment, even at the low rates of transportation. We men- tioned yesterday the shipment of corn (low. Brade) from Chicago to Balthnore at 43¢ cents per bushel, and today wo have to record several shipments of corn to Buffalo at one cont per bushel! Even at these rates standard grades of grain cannot be shipped; tho prices hero will not permit it. Can this condition of alfairs be maintained much longer? ‘The exceptlonatly low rates of transportation to the seaboard are the re- sult of bad falth among the railroad com- panics in June, followed by a war in which each of the trunt-lines hag been endeavoring to destroy the others, ‘This strife will soon be adjusted, and rail rates wit! bo Increased from tho whut-you-can-got to an arbitary rate ranging from 25 to 85 conts por 100 pounds, In a short timo Inke and canal transportation will ba closed. ‘I'he prices of grain in New York and Liverpool will then have to be Increased by the difference be- tween the present rates of transportation and over 235 cents per 100 pounds or there must ben fallin Chicago equal to that diiterenee. Which will it be? Speculators seem to ignore tho fact that the shortage In tho corn crop is much less than bas been clatmed by the bulls, and that owing to the tong dry weather of the sum- mer the corn wil) bo hardened and fit to mur- Ket several weeks earlicr than usual. ‘This corn will soon be heard from. It wit! be poured into market for sale at the enormons prices at which itis held in unprecedented quantitics, Itscems aiso to be Ignored that this year there hts been an imuwise erop of hay, white Jast year there was a poor one, Last year there was a very long and hard winter. ‘This year the wlater will probably beshort and mild, ‘The rains and warm sun of the Just and present month have started new growth of pasture grass, witleh will furnish food for the eattle far into the wins ter, thus enabling farmers to sel! corn to the speculators instead of feeding it to the hogs and cattle as was the cnge Inst winter. ‘Tho crop of corn Sn 1881 is undoubtedly less than in 1880, but, owing to tho abundance of hay and oats and other feed, und the dliferonce in the length and severity of the winters, the proportion of corn for arte will be much ereater this year than in 1880, Farmers will not be compelled to holt corn to feed atoetc when corn Js commanding the abnormal price of 70 cents per bushel In Chicago, Speculators, therefore, who ara holding wheat at 81.41 and corn at 70 cents, with a vlow of selling It ata great proilt, may possl- bly come to grief, and that too before very Jong, With an advance of 300 por cent in the present rate of tranaportation, aid a heavy supply of corn offering for sale, those who are buying wheat and corn at present prices may have to walt some thne'to get tho}r money back, : Strango as it may seem, the orders whioh are pourlug into this city by every mall to buy wheat and corn are fram people In Indi- fna, Missouri, Kansas, and other somewhat remota poluts, People possessed of money have fuith enough to venture It In wheat and corn at present prices, It syoms to us that, except for mere gambling or betthag, there must suon be a brenk in prices, spreading rin and bankryptey among the betting pop ulation, Milljons aro at stake, and millions aro certain to be lost, OHINESE RETALIATION, ‘Tho news from Ching [s to the effect that the Celestials ure dissatistled with the recent treaty negotiations between thelr eomutry and America—a treaty to which thelr Goy- ernment freely consented and Jnserted many cluuses; and that the recent withdrawal of the Chinese students fiom Murtfurd to be called home and others to be placed in Kitro- pean colleges is solely uscribable to tho hoy Ula sentiments that provall there against the treaty, Unser such elreumstances jt is af some Interest to know the character of the treaty that was made Ingt year by the Con. missioners Plenipotentiary of thla country and freely agreed to by the Chinese Commis: sloners, ‘The only reatsletive olutiee jy the trealy is that whieh provides thit © When- over, In the opinion vf the Geyernment of the United States, the comlny of Chinese laborers fo the United States; or thelr reol- donee ther dy, attyets or threufins to alfect the Interpy:s of Cyt country ta pndapger tho Rood order of the Pu country, or of uw - nny loeality within tho territory thore- | of, tho Government of China agrees (at the Government of tho United States may regulate, mit, or suspend such coming or residence, but may nob absolutely prohibit st". This Imitation, howover, Is required to be “reasonable,” and npplles only to Chineso who comens compett- {iva Inborors, It-allaws Chinese teachers, students, and morchnnts, and thoso traveling from curiosity, together with all thelr body and hotsehold servants, to go and como without Intorforente of any kind, Lt pro- vides that tho thousands of Chinese laborers who are now here shall bo allowed to go nnd come of thelr own accord, and {¢ secures them all the “rights, privileges, Immunitics, and exemptions which are accorded to tho eltizens and subjects of the most favored gations,” although notoneof these thousands over Intonds to become an American cluzen, or tonssiinilate in any way with the “Amerl- can people. More than this, tho treaty pro- vides that If any Chinese laborers or Chinesa ofany ctass, restding here temporarily or permanently, mect with itl-trentment, the Qoyernment of this country will protect then. With the commercial treaty the Chinese find no fault, as {ts provisions ara inutnally protective and do not discrim{nate In favor of elther country, What galls thom is that thoy cannot ampty fresh ship-londs of coolles and courtesnns upon our shores as heretofore without restriction and crowd our Pacific Const with tho lowest rofuav of thelr citics, packed on shipboard Hko hogs and dirtler than those animals, owned, body, soul, and breeches, by tho “ Stx Chinese Companies,” and bringing nothing with them but vice, dirt, and disease, and to such an extont that they have to be quarantined off in settlements by.themselves where thoy exist In any num- ber and placed under thoseverest regulations to prevent them from contaminating civilized locailttes. 2 Uecause the United States Government has asserted the right to protect itself against ttls wholesale exportation of coolics the Chinese have withdrawn thelr students from our colleges, If the plg-tailed Celestials think that thoy inflict any injury upon us by. this act they are much mistaken. Wo can get along without their students. much bet- tor than wo can with their oplum-smoking coolles, No American would take tt serl- ously to heart if he never again saw a China- nian of any degrec, and it would be. an oceaston for general rejoicing if the Chinese Government would also order every Chiua- man In this country te go homo and stay there, Wo have all we need of them now, and more too, ‘They havo occasloned nothing but trouble ever since they lauded on the Pacific Const, ‘They have swarmed into places belon "ng to better men, becuse they ean herd together Ikke swine and live Ing way not possible to imitate. ‘They have brought nothing to this country except their vices, which are beastly, their disenses, which are lonthsome, and their habits, which are disgusting. ‘Chey do not cotisider them- selves a3 amenable to our laws, though they claim thelr protection. ‘They do not affilinte with American habits and customs tke othor forcizuers, because they have no ine tention of ever becoming American eltizens, ‘There are no poets In common between Amerleans and Chinese, nor is Ching at all interesting or important to Americans. It would boa matter of supreme Indifference ifthey noyer heart of the country again, ‘Tho only class of people In this country who lave any interest at ali In China are old Indies, who faney thoy cannot get along without Chinese tea. So faras the Chinese students are concerned, while we may have sumo regrot thot the plg-talled young gentle men haye lost the opportunity to get clvil- ized Ideas Into thelr Celestial craniums, we have no special sorrow over their departure, because we would rather lose them than en- dure any further importation of coolies, In polnt of fact, it would be better for this country if the Chinese Government would immediately order every one of its subjects home and forbid them from ever again coming to America. If the Ohinese do not iko us, tet them stay away. Wo certainly do not want them here. —_ NO ENTANGLING FOREIGN ALLIANCE, ‘The London Spectator has gelzed upon the remarkable disptay of good fouling and syn pathy manifested towards this country by Grent Britain in connection with the death of tho late President as an appropriate oc- easton to recommend and infact to repeat tho suggestion of a closor alliance between the two countrics. Lts recommendation is to the effect that this country interfere in Ku- ropenn politics with England, and have a voleo among the.othor Great Powers. It would gmount practleally to the establish- mont of 8 protectorate for Great Britaln, Much aa this country prized the kindly ex- pressions of tho British people In her hour of trouble, the proposition Is one that can noyer be accepted. ‘There Is only one way in whieh this country could enter into an offensive and defensive alliance with reat Britain, and that would bo in the event of the annexation of the British Empire and its colonies, If England, Scotland, ‘Ireland, and Canada were to be- cone States tn our Republic and her vutly- ing possessions wero turned into colontnl territories, and the fmperial Government were transferred with all its machinery and resources to this country, sich an alilance could be completed, But this ‘of course is impracticable ag well ag undesirable, and it would not be for tho interest of althor coun- try. Even If It wore entirely practical to make such an alilance ns tha Spectator suggosts, England does ‘not need tt, or any defense from us. All she has to do for hor own sate- ty ds to maintain her policy of peace and take good caro of her own defenses. ‘There are only two dangers that can confront her, Ouv of them fs the possibility of forelgn ty. vaston, and the only Pawers i position to Lie yade her are France and Germany.

When Hermann Lick road Commissioner Waller’s recont letter in reply to his report he must have felt something like the fellow who declared it would have been money In Mls pocket If he had nover been born, Com- uissfoner Wallor's letter, tho rather long, was cortainly crushing. It poluts out to Ligh that, tho n subordinate, he had bean acting the part of a busyboiy, a * poke-your-nose- into-othar-peoplo’s-business,” and had neg lected the aifalrs of tho department under his immediate supervision for which ho was pald for attending to. Mr. Waller also showed very conclusively that Liev was him- self responsible for all the shortcomings of which hoe had complained, and that tho Intter, to put the caso in Waller’s phraseology, Ins one of “ the business qualities or eapabill- ties necessary to the successful management ofalarge financial office requiring correct records and an accurate system of necounts.” Asa miatter of fact, Liab’s administration of the Water Department Is not the first evl- dence he has given of his entire tnenpacity for targe public business, Lily record as County Clerle ought to have been suflictent to oxclude him from any position of much responsibility, Ills mnringement of the County Clerk’s office was notoriously eare- Jess, ineflicient, and extravagant. His mane agement of the Water Department seoms to have been equally Ioose, and if not equally extravagant It fs only becnuso he had not the samo discretion as to expenditure nor the same latitude for wastage. Unfortunately Commissioner Waller, tho Lieb’s superior officer, has not authority to dismiss his subordinate, tho he aught to have it. Lieb holds hls place at the pleasure of the Mayor, If is known that Mayor Mar- ison had no botter reason for appointing him than becausa he believed him to have considerable partisan influence among ‘certain classes of ward bum- mers, who aro only serviceable at. election tino, and has now no better reason for retaining him.
