He has served in both branches cf the legislature of Rhode TIsland and was a member of the Forty- sixth and Forth-seventh congresses. Morar Hazstean, of the Cincin- nati Commercial, prefaces a lengthy and interesting editorial on the new administration with the remarks that if President Arthur should succeed in keeping together the cabinet of Gen- eral Garfield he would do something mora than Garfield himself could have done. Mr. Halstead has recently been in New York, near the chief ex- ecutive, and his opinions upon coming « changes in the admimstration derive the weight due to an observing poli- tician and excellent channels of infor- mation, His conclusions are that Mr. MacVeagh will retire at once and resume his law practice to be succeeded by Mr. B. H. Browster of Philadelphia, alawyer of high standing snd clear character already engaged in the Star route casgs. Mr. Blaine will be invited to xemain in the cabinet until December when he will be offered the English mission. His place will probably be filled by Mr. Andrew D. White, late minister to Germany, or by ex-Sena- tor Frelinghuysen of New Jorsey. Mr. Lincoln will probably remain where he is. It is understood that Mr. Windom desires to retira éh his laurels at once if at all and he will prob- ably be permitted to do so. Ex-Gov- ernor E. D. Morgan of New York is mentioned as his probable succes- sor, Mr. Halstead thinks that the persoual relations between Mr. Hunt and the president will secure his re- tention, Becretary Kirkwood will not remain longer than the opening of the regular session of congress. Post- amaster General James had decided to leave the service of the government on June 80th of mext year, and had so anformed President Garfield, 1t is now believed that he will be induced to remain until that time with the present administration, when he will retire to accept a handsome busi- ness offer which would be im- prudent for him to re- fuse, The editor of the Commercig! does not believe that Mr. Conkling will enter the cabinet. He looks upon . the death of President Garfield as to him @ great political misfortune, sud says he cannot go into amew made grave to make war. Ho will for the present devote him- self to the practico of the law, and would probably not decline the tender of the seat on the supreme bench, ‘whigh will soon be vacated by Justice Hunt, ' th sir apponents, 8 at of this county campmign that the We said at the out- republican ticket the whole, a good deal stronger and better than had Deen expected from the clss of men that nominated it. Douglas county is republican by from 500 to 800 majority and it would have taken a very strong ticket on the democratic side to oyercome that majority. We confess our surprise at such a dead give away, but we pre sume the convention labored under the delusion that any democrat would be elected this fall, owing to the sup- posed disaffection caused by the Slocumb law among republicans of foreign nationality. In this they will be very much dwsappointed. There is a good deal of disaffection among this class of voters, but there is a good deal more disaffec- tion among tax-paying democrats who are not directly intercsted in the liquor laws—which at best are in no way connected with the county cam- was, upon paign. The people of this county are not wedded to party in a purely local issue but men don't desert their party ticket when the opposition ticket 1s worse than their own. Thero was a disposition among republican tax-pay- ers to drop Mr. Knight, who has been in oftice nine years and is a member of a close corporation ring, but the democratic candidate affords no inducements for republicans to scratch their ticket. With such blun- dering on the part of the democrats the republican candidates have an easy walk away. this fall. POLITICS AND THE FARMERS. The Farmers’ alliance movement is a most excellent one, and it ought to effect a great and permanent good for the producer, but the ndications are that it will travel the same crooked road on which the grange was lost. ‘We warn the alliance now, that if it would live, it must kick out from its lodges every man who commences to chatter about politics. —Kansas City Jowrnal. It is about time that such silly clap trap should cease. The monopoly edi- tors who are so seriously alarmed over the p of our farmers taking an active and personal interest in poli- ticashould at once show some good and sufflcient reason for their views or forever hold their peace. Mer- chants have organized in boards of tradeand chambers of commerce to pro- tect the interests of their business. Manufacturers have joined in common association to ward off cut-throat com- petition, Labor, through organized eftort, has influenced the platforms of politioal parties and induced the passage of laws for mutual benefit. Why then is it unwise and even crim- inal, as some of the monopoly advo- cates would have us believe, for our farmeors to take steps looking to the political protection of their interests and the growth of a healthy senti. ment in favor of raeasures grounded on public necessity and vital to the welfare of the producing classes of the nationf The outery which these brass col- lared editors raise with such a show of disinterested affoction will not deceive tho producers of the country, There is an urgent necessi- ty of political activity on the part of our farmers, who in the past have been the most conservative element in the body politic. They have been contented to leave to others the or- ganization of parties, the conduct of primaries and conventions, and the active work in legislatures and the halls of congress. Their very con- servatism has been taken advantage of to relegate them to a back seat in our political system, and they are now coolly in- formed -that they possess no rights of independent thought on political subjects which parties are bound to respect. They are advised to kick all men out of their ranks who “‘chatter politics,” tolet others do their think- ing ang to leave to party barnacles and shysters the duty of making nomina- tions to suit themselves and to direct the channels of legislation. These disinterested gentlemen of the brass collar brigade may as well understand that our farmers refuse any longer to be classed as mere vot- ing cattle, They are reading and thinking men. They understand their relations to the world’s wealth and the vast economical interests, of which theyare the main stay.They have been silent long enough while power- ful associations of capital have banded together to control legislation and in- fluence the courts of justice for their own aggrandizement at the expense of the producers of the country. Plun- dered shamefully and systematically HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: _]hy the very men whom their votes placed in pawer, they now demand an active paeticipation in practical poli- tics, They do not desire to become politicians, but they will insist that their vital interests shall be confided only to men who are known to be in strong sympathy with theic views and addition have the moral backbone to vote and work in their interests, The Farmer's Al liance is the first practical movement of the producers of the west to take active stops towards redressing the grievances under which they suffer. Chief among these hecauso it affects who in overy agriculturist in the country is the transportation question which i3 forcing itsclf into prominence in the politic: farmers do not iutend that this issue shall become merely operative in plat- form declarations, They propose te use their voices and votes in pelling candidate appeals their to pledge vote in accordance with their views. They will refuso to endorse any candidate whose previous conncction with the monopolies or whose political record has shown them unfit for public con- fidence. TIn supporting and electing able and honest men they propose through them to secure laws restrict- ing monopolies, prohibiting discrim- ination and extortion and enforcing an equitable system of taxation by which corporations will no longer be al platform of the country. Our com- who support for himself to able to shirk upon the shoul- ders of the people their just taxes toward the support of the state. This is in part the po- litical program of our farmers. If possible they will carry it out within the lines of existing parties. If not, through their own organization. Of one thing the monopolies and such monopoly advocates as Congressman Van Horn, of the Kansas City Jour- nal, may be sure, they will not be ffat- tered or Irightened from their pnr- pose. And when told to keep to their proper places they will reply that their proper place in politics is that of every other American citizen with all the duties and responsibilities which such citizenship carries with it. GUITEAU'S DEFENSE. The telegraph announces that Gui- tean will be arraigned for trial to-day in Washington and that the line of de- fense as outlined heretofore will be that of insanity. Mr. Scoville the brother-in-law of the assassin declares that he shall take advantage of no technicalities ~ in the conduct of the case and that the trial will be squarely on the testimony pre- sented. It will be his endeavor to show that Guiteau’s mind has been unbalanced for years, that he has given abundant evidences of acute mania prior to his shooting of the president and that for days before the tragedy he was suffering from an ex- cited state of mind which culminated in an act of emotional insanity. It will no doubt be a relief to the country to know that the case is to be narrowed down to so plain an 1ssue. The objection that Guiteau cannot be tried at Washington because his vic- tim died in New Jersey is a mere technicality which, while untenable i law, would have afferded opportunity for endless delay through its discus- sion. Still more wearisome to court, jury and the public would be the de- fense that the president died fromim- proper surgical treatment. A defense on this plea, while equally groundless, because in law a criminal is respon- sible for the result of his acts, would open the doors to a flood of conflicting nmiedical testimony which would delay its trial indefinitely, The simple fact for the jury to con- sider will be whether the symptoms of chronic dead-beatism exhibited by Guiteau during his checkered career, his lack of truthfulness, his inordinate vanity, his Jack of prudence in the conduct of his affairs and his final ex- hibition of malignity and vindictive- ness constitute insanity under the laws. The majority of unbiassed minds will refuse to confound crimnal instinels with mania. If characters such as Guiteau are to be adjudged insane our prisons should be converted into hospitals and our county jails into insane asylums. But in the present case this is for the jury to de- termine. If Guiteau was < mentally responsible at the time he fired the fatal shot in last July he must be con- victed of murder, sentenced and ex- ecuted. Ir ho was not responsible for his acts he cannot be made to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, IOWA BOILED DOWN, Oskaloosa has organized a board of trade, Wolves are abundant in county.

Pierce, alias Charles Howlett, who was tuken from the Bloomington, I1L, jail and hanged by a mob on Saturday, the 1st inst., for killing a deputy sheriff of McLean county, was a native of Towa, born in Ne- vada in 1861, and shortly afterward, in company with his father, ren oved to Fair- field. In 1874 he was arrested for the bur- glary of the Rock Island station at Liber- tyvil'e, for which erime he was, in 1875, sentenced tofive years in the reformschool. He was released from that institution be- fore the expiration of his term and re- turned to Fairfield, He was a student at the Stute Agricultural college at Ames for some time.

The most recherce event of the past week was the reception to his Hawaion majesty King Kalakaua, which was given on Thursday ¢ ing at “‘Cortland,” the home of Hon. and Mrs, J. M. Woolworth, on St. Mary's avenue, During her trip last year to Australia and the Sandwich islands, Miss Woolworth was the re- cipient of marked attentions by King Kalakaua at Honalulu, and his visit to Omaha was made with the ex- pressed purpose of paying his regards to the family. Owing to theexhaust- ing round of festivities which Kala- kaua had experienced during his visit in the east, he especially requested that no general reception be tendered him, and the gathering on Thursday evening was largely composed of the young, unmarried friends of Miss Woolworth in Oma. ha. Nearly seventy-five invitations were issued but owing to the shortness of time elapsing be- tween the receipt of the invitations, and Thursday evening Jess than thirty were present. The entire affair was strictly informal. The dancing was (q)ened with a_lanciers, in which his Majesty and Miss Woolworth led the set. Subsequently opportunity was afforded all the other ladies present to boast of having danced with royal- ty.

To the music of the wedding march from “Lohengrin,” the bridal | party entered the church, the ushers preceding, the bride following, and leaning on the arm of her father. The bride was dressed in rich white satin, tulle veil, and orange blossoms, and her train was borne by two little girls in white. She wore scarcely any jewelry. The groom, with Wiliam C. Osborne, s best man, came next, and after them the bridesmaids, Miss McWhorter, Miss Ganahl, and Miss McKeever, cousins of the bride, aud Miss Sackett, Miss Wiggin, and Miss Rathbone. They were all dressed in white muslin, two carrying bouquets of Jucqueminot roses, two of lilacs, and two others of forget-me- nots, ‘The Third artillery band from ¥ort Hamilton, stationed outside the chapel, struck up a lively march as the party left the church f‘n’u' the home of the bride's father, where an infor- mal reception was held, lasting until & o'clock, The couple received the congratulations of their many friends standing beneath a beautiful marriage bell of tea roses.

He may regard it as the strongest possible combination of his personal friends and immediate polit- ical associates. This may be called the Grant theory of cabinet-making, in accordance, with which it used to be said with truth that Gen, Grant made up his cabinet as he would his ataff,—that is, of s personal friends. His cabinel was short-lived and nar- rowly escaped two impeachments, On the other hand, the president may regard his cabinet as the ideal combination of the ‘“‘strong men"” of the party who elected him,—including representatives of each great section and of each wing and shade of opinion in the party. The president may say to himself: “I have been elected by the republican party to carry out its policy in government, 1 must have republican counselors, but. they must represent not a faction, but the whole party. If I must be the president of a party, I will at least be the president of a whole party.” This may be called with justice the Hayes theory of the formation of a cabinet, for when Mr. Hayes became president he did not appoint to his council board a single man who could be called his personal friend, and with Sherman alone was he n.easurably acquainted. He took Evarts, Schurz, Devens, Tompson and McCrary all on assumption that as men of eminence, integrity and experience he would find them of value as advisers and would find it not impossible to hold intimate personal relations with them, al- though they were strangers. He took. Judge Key in a similar spirit and from the op{mnite party o emphasize the policy of conciliation, No cabinet has ever worked more harmoniously than that of Mr.. Hayes. Abraham Lincoln followed the same policy in 1861. He called around him a cabinet of strangers, of rivals, even, and of great men, when a cabinet of personal friends would have collapsed under the tremendeus pressure of events. Gen. Garfield from his long experi- ence in national politics was in a very different attitude from Lincoln and Hayes. He counted many of the ablest men 1n the party among his personal friends, but Blaine was the only one distinctively so whom he chose for his cabinet, and we believe that choice embarrassed his adminis- trution more than that of all the rest of his cabinet, who were men of mere casual acquaintance with him. Our history would show, if we mistake not, that personal friends as a rule, or friends of faction, have not made the best cabinet material. Washington in the beginning attempted to repres- ent all parties in his cabinet, but that was almost before parties had formed at all, and the two great parties of the early time may be said to have fluwed in two streams from the source: whose issues he hoped to make one. Since his disastrous experience, the propriety of a partisan cabinet has been admitted, but with an emphatic caution against further sub-division and further denial of representation, The people can abide a cabinet broad- ly representative of a great party, but not the cabinet of a faction, the cabinet of a part of a party. The republicans therefore attributes to modesty or to good-natured thoughtlessness Attorney General MacVeagh's recognition *‘to the fullest extent of the propriety of President Arthur selecting as his confidential advisers gentlemen who had hereto- fore sustained relations, not only of personal good-will; but also ot poli- tical sympathy with him.” Is not the president “‘in political sympathy” with all “sympathy” to the class described by Mr. MacVeagh? We trust not, for the good of the country and the success of President Arthur. Jacob Mart , of Lancaster, N.
