For the second time in the history of our republic the Natioval execu- tive is stricken down by the assassin's hand. Sixtoen years ago just as the coun- try was wild in jubilation over the re- bellion conquered, and the Union re- stored the startling announcement that Abraham had fallen martyr to the cause of liberty, almost Lincoln palsied every loyal heart and evoked sympathy for the grief stricken re- public from every nation on the globe. The martyrdom of Abraham Lin- coln, as the climax of the great rebel- lion, produced only a temporary shock upon our system of government, The assassination of James A. Gar- field in the midst of peace and pros- perity is a calamity which must seri- ously impair the vitality of our system of government. In absolute monarchies where kings and emperors trample upon and op- press their helpless subjects regecide and tyrannecide becomes a last resort But in a country governed by the people, for of a despairing people. the people, assassination is not only the most monstrous of crimes but an irreparable calamity. James A. Gar- field possessed every attribnte of man- hood. by his own exertions and strength Raised from among the people of character, his sympathies were always with the people. Self-made, self-educated; broad-shouldered and broad-minded, he was a typical American to whom every citizen of the Republic could point with pride. Called by the voice of the nation to the exccutive chair, he sallied forth from his home less than four months ago to assume the burdens and re- sponsibilities of the great trust. Met at the very threshold with factional opposition that sought to de- grade him from his high office, he as- serted his prerogative with dignity and firmness, and the country, regardless of party, accorded him its hearty sympathy. And now, without provocation, with- out warning, without a shadow of ex- cuse he is shot down, cruelly mur- dered in cold blood in sight of the capi- tol, to make way for factional leaders who have been politically wrecked in attempting to antagonize him. What a terrible commentary on the degradation of our political system! What ashock to the stability of our institutions! The assassination of James A. Garfield proclaims to all the world that the president of the United States, whether in war or in peace, is in constant danger, and. like Mexico, this country is liable at any time to experience a revolution by the dagger or revolver. A JUST VERDICT. And now, without provoeation, without warning, without a shadow of excuse, he is shot down, cruelly murdered jn cold blood in sight of the capitol, to make way for factional leaders who have been politically wrfickod in attempting to antagonize him, —Bee, These words arc carefully studied, and they are atrocious, It is disgrace- ful that they appear in a public jour- nal. * * * % ¥ Not even the spontancous feelings of the masses, well-nigh beside themselves over this terriable tragedy—much less the sober second thought of the people, we can rest assured will impute as a crime to hundreds of thousands of republicans an act whichcannot ibly have been other than the act of one man.

Had there been no secession there would have been no rebellion, and if there had been no rebellion Wilkes Booth never would have conceived the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. The death of Lincoln was therefore the direct consequence of the rebel- lion, and while no individual leader of the rebellion outside of the conspira- tors associated with Wilkes Booth was directly involved in this monstrous crime, yot the tragic death of Lincoln waa as much chargeable to the rebel- lion as if he had been slain by rebels on the battle field. Moreover, eyerbody conversant with the history of Lincoln's assassi- nation knows that Wilkes Booth would neverhaveattempted thelife of Lincoln had the rebellion been successful. It was mainly because the contederacy had almost collapsed by the fall of Richmond and surrender of Iee that Booth as a last resort made the at- tempt to retrieve the fallen fortunes of the confederates. Wilkes Booth may have been insane when he fired the shot that killed Abraham Lincoln, but the verdict of the countrv was that the deed was the political cul- mination of the rebellion. The assassination of President Gar- field is as much a political crime as was the murder of Abraham Lincoln, The motive in both instances was a desire to bring about a political revo- lution and the inspiration came from a conflict precipitated by political leaders in their attempt to control the government. When Conkling and Platt seceded from the senate they surrendered that body to the political enomy and arrayed themselves and their followers in deadly hostility to President Garfield and his adminis- tration. It wasa declaration of warthat involved the fundamental principles of constitutional government and the great body of the American people re- gordless of party, resenting the at- tempt to over-ride and degrade the president, rallied to ihe support of Garfield. The outcome was the hu- miliating discomfiture of the seceded senators. Now this man Guiteau was a stal- wart and in active sympathy with that faction that approved the course of Conkling and Platt. There is a so-called stalwart organ in Washington City edited by the re- doubtable Gorham and controlled by the star route ring. Taking the factional ‘conflict at Albany as its pretext, this paper has waged the most rolentless and cruel war upon the president and his cabinet. From this paper the assassin Guiteau drew his inspiration. He was led to believe that Garfield was a stumbling block in the path of the republican party and his death, followed by the accession of Arthur, became a political necessity. Acting deliberately upon this convic- tion, he armed himself for the dast- ardly deed. Does any sane man be- lieve that Guiteau would have even thought of such a crime had there been no political feud precipitated by the New York senators, Does any sane man believe that Guitteau would have carried his crime into execution had the New York leg- islature triumphantly re-elected the seceded senators? In other words— if Conkling and Platt had net seceded from the senate —the thought of mur- dering Garfield never would have en- tered Guitteau's head, and if Conkling and Platt had succceded in rebuking Garfield by are-election he would never have attempted the assassination. Reasoning from these premises itbe- comes self-evident that Garfield was cruelly shot down in sight of the capitol to make way for factional leaders who have been politically wrecked in attempting to antagonize him. This will be the verdict of the by tho second thought. Such a ver- dict does not in any way involve these factional leaders with complicity in the great crime, but it holds them indirectly responsible for the conse- quences, And right here let us say that The Omaha Republi- can either knowingly and wil- fully falsifies or ignorantly labors under a delusion when it represents the faction that upholds Conkling and Platt as numbering thousands of stal- wart republicans.

Arthur president or whether General Garfield, recovers the verdiot of history will be that the assassina- tion of Garfield was the outcome of in law that every man is responsible political feud in which a symphathizer with the worsted party sought to achieve foreibly by the bullet what could not be achieved peaceably by the ballot. —— Tue old Academy of Music is to be people are blending | that party in the northern states was | In ite present condition it is e stand- loyal to the union and fought for |ing invitation to a holocaust. CRIMINAL . The announcement is made that the would-be assaesin of President Gar- field committed his dastardly act in a fit of insanity, and interviews are pub- lished from various sources indicating that for vears past his mind has been unsettled. In Chicago he was ar- rested and jailed for the ombezzlement of collections, and his picture adorns therogues gallery. In New York he was known as a chronic dead beat and swindler, and in tenl other cities he is remembered by actions which should long since have placed him in the penitentiary. Throughout his whole checkered career as a thief, impostor, swiridler and murderer an entire ab- sence of the moral sense and the ten- dencies of a confirmed and thoroughly depraved criminal have been the prin- cipal matks by which he is now pro- nounced to be a madman and maniac. The ‘insanity dodge,” as it is now generally termed by lawyers, is becom- ing much too common, Hardly a case of homicide appears in our courts but this plea, now so well worn out, is en- tered in defence of the eriminal. The more brutal and unprovoked the crime, the more surely is a jury en- tertained with the insanity fiction. Every evidence of a criminal disposi- tion in the culprit, every incident which can tend to show an inclination to disobey the laws and to confuse the simplest distinc- tion between right and wrong is dis- torted into a palliation of the offense and a proof of mental derangement which relieves the culprit from re- sponsibility. Toghich an extent has this shallow plea been urged in Amer- ican criminal courts that in the large majority of homicidal cases justicehas become a hollow. ufiékery and the execution of the laws a sham snd de- lusion, T There has been too much method in Guiteau’s madness. ' | Such madmen, if our laws were enforoed, would be serv- ing out sentences in our prisons in- stead of haying their criminal instincts held up as an excuse for des- perate deeds. If insanity be de- fined as a lack of mental and moral equilibrium every deyiation of the judgment and every attempt at crime may be considered as the mani- festation of insanity. Such being the case our penitentiaries should change their names to‘‘asylums” and our pub- lic courts into tribunals for the deter- mination of insanity. Such madmen were born to grace the gallows and justice as well as the best interests of society demands their lives in return for their crimes. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

Cornell has vetoed a foolish bil which had passed the New York legisla- ture to pension teachers on half-pay after 25 years of total service.

Assuming that twenty is the average of beginning to teach, this bill would enable persons to retire on half- pay at 45 and enter some other pursuit perhaps. The American policy is against pensions in the civil service, not so much out of consideration of cheapness for the government, for it might be cheaper to pension, as out of rm(nrh to_the indepen- dence of the individual, and out of hos- tility to the idea of committing his whole future to the gu\‘enuuunLArSpn'nxfield Republican, T PEPPERMINT DROPS.
