There seems to be no reasonable doubt that Guitean will be tried and convicted under the United States statutes in the District of Columbia. In his decision to bring his case be- fore the supreme court of the District of Columbia, District Attorney Cork- hill fully recognizes the fact that the only decision bearing on the case holds that the court has no jurisdic- tion when the offence has begun in Washington and the death has occurred elsewhere. But that de- cision was rendered very early in the century, and it is said that the current of more recent authorities in in the opposite direction.

President Lincoln, it will be remembered, at a most criti- cal time in our history appointed Ed- win M. Stanton, a democrat who had been a member of James Buchanan's oabinet, as his spcretary of war, and it is - doubtful whether any republioan could haye as creditably as the great war secreta- ry. More recently President Hayes made an attempt to oonciliate the south by appointing an ex-confederate democrat as postmaster-general, and while Judge Key did not signalize himself in the postoffice department, his political influence has been beno- ficial to the republican party in de- stroying sectional prejudice. David Davis entertains notions about currency and finance, but in the main he is as sound to-day as when Abraham Lincoln appointed him to the supreme bench. views on the danger that threatens the country from the aggression of corporate monopolies are in accord with the views held by clear headed publican statesmen like. George F. filled the place some very odd His Edmunds and William Windom. — Less than six months ago a conven- tion, made up largely of ward bum- mers, scavengers and shysters, nomi- gnwl Isaac 8.

Under our fraudulent system of primaries no- body could probably have kept Has- call out of the convention without hiring a gang of shoulder hitters, re- peaters and ballot box stuffers. But common decency and a reasonable re gard for the known and expressed feelings of a great majority of the re- publicans.of this county would have dictated that this man Hascall should be kept in the background. Not so however—Hascall was lionized and honored above all other men in the convention, He was chosen dele- gate to the state convention, made chairman of the county cential e¢om- mittee and 1f there had been any oth- er honors at the disposal of the con- vention they would doubtless have been heaped upon him. This triumph was brought about by the active aid of Senator Saunders’ fool friends, who imagine that] their new ally is bound firmly by the em- ployutent of his son-in-law, in the Omaha post-oftice, will be of great service to them in the senatorial fight next year. We venture to predict that they have only invested in a mill stone to drag Alvin Saunders down to the bottom of the political dead sea. Tue county ticket nominated by the republicans Saturday, is in the main, much better than was to have been expected from the make-up of the convention. The candidates, without exception are respectable and competent. About thefr individual merit we propose to speak at some length at an early day. We cannot refrain however, from expressing regret at the renomination of Commissioner Knight for a fourth term. Public safety demandsoccasional changes in the board of county com- mitsioners. Mr. Knight hasheld the position nine years, and we are sur- prised that he asks the republicans of this county to run the risk of defeat by another nomination. Even if the board of cominissioners was not a close corporation it is asking too much to elect him for three years longer. On the whole the republicans of Douglas ought to be thankful that the convention did no worse. In the very nature of things in view of the pro- nounced effort of the convention to nominate nobody for any position of prominence who is in sympathy with the views we hold in common with the great mass of the party and with people of all parties, it is not to be expected that we should give an un- qualified endorsement to its work. There are still six weeks from now until election day and every voter in Douglas county will have ample time to acquaint himself personally with the record and pedigree of each can- didate, and we shall endeavor to en- lighten them, as far as lies in our power, candidly and fearlessly con- cerning the duty they will be called on to discharge on the 8th of Novem- ber. All things being equal we shall urge them to give the republican ticket preference, E—— IN the death of Dr. Gilbert C. Monell our city loses one of its oldest and mostculturedeitizens. Before he ceased practicing as a physician Dr. Monell was known as the ablest of his profession in the territory. To a mind of great breadth he united a culture rare in a man of professional acquirements. His library was one of the largest and most carefully selected in the state, embracing every class of literature, Dr. Monell was a strong thinker and a ready and pun- gent writer. His views on political and economical questions were the re- sult of study and reflection, and his | conversation bore witness to an ac- quaintance with the best writers in literature, acience and art, - — THE attitudo of David Davis on the question of the coming reorganization of the senate 1s naturally a topic of great interest to politicians, the awearing in of the three new re- publican senators the republicans, with Mr. Davis' vote, will havea clean majority of one. The opinion is current that if Senator Davis an- nounces his decision to vote with the republicans, the democrats will refuse to take advantage of their temporary power and will permit a republican reorganization at the outset, SENATOR HARLAN has declined the nomination of the republicans of Henry county, Towa, for the atate senate. Mr. Harlan was nominated while absent in Colorado, and declines the nomination on the ground that he failed to see any necessity for the use of his name, This refusal of Senator Harlan will be a disappointment to many who were prepared to hail with satisfaction the return to active public life of a man of varied political expe- rience and unquestioned ability and honesty ‘WaiLz the first regular issue of the Century Magazine (the new name of Soribner) will be the November num- ber, an interesting history of Serib- ner's Monthly has been printed and bound in the coyer of the Century and But the evil genius of the party under After | land. issued as a supplement to the October number, which is the last issue under the old title.

The Triple Link-Meeting of the Grand Lodge-Knightly Pythians. THE FREE MASONS. GENERAL GARFIELD'S RECORD, All Masons will be interes ted in the following record of the late President Garficld’s advancement in Masonry. At the breaking out of the war Mr, Garfield, then president of Hiram cul- lege, repaired to Camp Chase, near Columbus, O., for the purpose of rais- ing a regiment of which he was to hold a colonel's commission. He re- mained at Camp Chase from Septem- ber 26th until December 14th, 1861. Early in September Colonel Garfield sent in his petition tc Magnolia Lodge No. 20 at Colum- bus to be received into the Masonic order. On November 22 he was in- itiated as an entered apprentice, and on December 3, 1861, passed to the degree of a Fellow craft in the same lodge. The sudden receipt of orders to move to the front prevented Bro. Garfield from completing his advance- ment in_the Blue Lodge, and it was not until November 22, 1864, after his return from his first session in Items con, , that he was raired to the sublime degree of a Master Mason in Columbus ge No. 30 at the re- quest of Magnolia Lodge. In the following year Bro, Garfield make ap- plication for afiliation with lodge No. 246 at Garrettaville, a little town near Hiram. and on Oct. 10, 1865 was elected a member of the lodge. On December 8, 1868, he was elected chaplain and re-elected on December 14th of the following year. Thereis no record of his being present at meetings subsequent to that time and 1870, when he transferred his mem- bership to Pentalpha No. 23 at ‘Washington. Bro. Gartield was also & companion of the chapter and a Knight Templar, his af- filiation . at the time of his death being with Columbia Command- ery No. 2, of Washington. He was not as has been stated a 32° degree Mason havingonly attained the degree of an Knifihb Rose Croix 18° in the Lodge of Perfection and Chapter at Washington, THE MASONIC OBSERVANCES, The solemn services held by the Omaha Masonic fraternity on last Monday will long be remembered both by those who partticipated, and by those who witnessed Lhe im- pressive ceremonies in Freemason's H The decorations of the room and the catafalque, the excellence of the Templar drill and escort, the point and brevity of the speeches and the smoothness with which all the de- tails were carried out reflects great credit upon those into whose hands the charge of the matter was commit- ted.+ P.

GOAT HAIRS, The twenty-second annual session of the Grand e of Colorado was held last week in Denver. The Masonic Grand Lodge of Mon- tana will meet in Helena October 4 The Masons in Philadelphia are busy organizing a new Commandery of Knights Templar, Its member- ship will include some of the most influential business men of Philadel- phia, and it is intended to make it the leading Knight Templar Com- mandery of America, The Grand Lodge of California will commence its thirty-second annual session, in 8an Francisco, on Tuesday, October 11, . The Grand Lodge of Iowa has re- solved, ‘“That an American Grand Lodge, legullg constituted, has, and of right should exercise, absolute and exclusive jurisdiction over all lodges and the territory included within the jurisdiction of the civil government of the state, territory or province within which the same is organized; that the assumption of divided alle- giance is inadmissible and destructive of the unity of government essential to the welfare and harmony of Ma- ed | sonry.” Thore -“l,) nulmemul lghuuie relihoa y lodges throughout the Wsnm, and their history should be written before 1t becomes tinctured with tradition. THE/TRIPLE LINK. THE SOVEREIGN GRANG LODGE. The Sovereign Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. closed a profitable and harmoni- ous session at Cincinnati last week and adjourned to meet next yearin Baltimore. The I declined to change the Book ot Forms, and re- fused to abolish the semi-annual g‘ul word of the Rebekah degree. The important change requiring lodges to work in the third degree, which goes into effect in July, 1882, was adopted by the remarkable vote of 127 yeas to 2 nays. In the legis- lation on the much discussed subject of the Degree of Rebekah, the adop- tion of the following will probably create almost as much sensation as the Third Degree e: ‘“That the un- married daughters of Odd Fellows, who have attained the age of eighteen years, and whose perents are dead, may be admitted to membership in lodges of the Degree of Rebekah, when f:)?o“d by the Noble Grand of the F‘ to which the father was for- merly attached.

Before the closing ceremonies each ml;‘resenlative was presented by P. G, John P. Murphy with a beautiful tinted engraving of the monument in in Spring Grove, as a souvenir, LINKS, . The lodges in Illinois are all boom- ing, and it is expected that the mem- Il')erlhlp will reach 35,000 by January st. The total amount paid put for relief the past year was 81,687,655.89. The total revenue for the year amounts to $4,504,220, which shows a gain of 8202,862.61, The reports of the Grand Sire to of the Sovereign Grand Lodge shows a membership, up to December 31, 1880, of 457,937, an increase for the year of 16,154, Reports of the grand officers show that in the national jurisdiction there are fifl{ ‘fnnd lodges; 7,172 subor- dinate lodges (increase for year, 105); 456,937 members (increase, 16,154); receipts for year, 84,504,022 89 (in- crease, $202,807 Gl%': relief for year, 81,687,666 80. Encampments, 40 grand; 1,857 §incrnue, 15) subordin- ates; 70,420 (decrease, 82) members. The supreme lodge has more money on hand than at any previous time in its existence. 1882 will mark a prosperous year for American Odd Fellowship. The New England states report many additions. The Grand Encampment of Cali- fornia paid out last year for relief of Patriarchs and burying the dead, over 815,000; for widowed families and charity, about 81,800. Fifty-one deaths occurred in the order during the year. Had the money paid for relief been given to heirs of deceased member, it would have amounted to $330 for each death. The Grand Todge of California paid out 8172,808.24 for relief and charity; 276 deaths during the year. KNIGHTLY PYTHIANS, The endowment rank is meeting with merited success throughout the United States, and new sactions are constantly being reported. In addi- tion to its death benefit, it embodies the system of watching with the sick, burying the dead, protecting their widows and educating the orphan. H. C. Berry, P. 8, C, gives the opinion that the uniformed rank is not subject to State jurisdiction, but if charges are preferred against it, they must ¢o the supreme officials. The Knight says ‘“That a good deal of good might be done if the Grand Ofticers would look over the list and visit some of the weak and declining Lodges.” Nevada, with its ten lodges, is do- ing very well. Ttincreased 107 dur- ing the year, and has about 89,500 in cash, Rocky mountain lodge No. 3 was ;?celntly instituted at Salt Lake City, tah, Maine gained 271 during the last term. The endowment rank on September 1, 1881, had 12,395 members in first class, 16,764 in second class, 169 in third class; $19,000 were paid out in August, making §831,750 to date, Pythianism in Missouri has in- creased beyond that of any other state of the order, during the past year. New York comes in second, Kansas third, Indiana fourth, Missis- sippi fifth, and Ohio sixth. West irginia hae mads the least inorense of any of the jurisdictions. KNIGHTS OF HONOR, Every lodge in 8t. Louis is consid- ering applications for membership. St. Louis Lodge has increased its membership from 240 to 300; and the ofticers expect to have 500 by New Years. Massachusetts reports 138 lodges, 10,838 members. North Carolina has 53 lodges, 1,915 members. Supreme Treasurer Breckenridge's bond is for $200,000. AMERICAN LEGION OF HONOR.
