NEBRASKA ADVERTISER Thu population of tho kingdom of Grout Britain is 25,000,000, according to a late census. An Increase of 10, 000,000 in ten years. Gulteau wrote to tho president a few weeks ago: "I regret tho trouble you aro having with Senator Conkling. You aro right, and should maintain your position. You have my support, and that of all patriotie citizens." Sup pose ho had taken it into his head to kill Conkling; would Mr. Rosowntor havo attributed tho crime to tho Rob ertson faction 'f Omaha Republican. Ho might, if he could havo worried in a lie somewhere. It Is credit ublo to tho nowspapors of the west that comparatively few of them sought to turn tho attempted assassination of the President to politi cal account. Not so much can be said for tho New York papers, The major ity of them wove into thoir comments a spirit that any decent American ought to bo ashamed of. Inter Ocean. Tho Omaha Bee is among tho dis honored exceptions among western newspapers, but as the editor of tho lice is of tho samo typo of humanity as Guiteau, nothing hotter could be ex pected of him. Inter Ocean : Tho fact is, Guiteau boasted that he made General Gartiold's nomination possible at Chicago, by breaking the unit rule; that his speech in the hitter's favor was tho real means of electing the President ; that ho had always been the friend of Blaine, and ho was sore anil angry that what he deemed mighty services had not been recognized. To declare himself a stal wart was to declare a lie ; but it was a ready way of fastening suspicion on a body of men that do not wugo battle by stealth or in secret, but openly and bravely. Charles Guiteau belongs to the other class to tho Medill-Wator-son family, and this is a good time to place him whero ho will feel at homo. Tho great boast of Guiteau in "Wash ington has been that he broko the unit rulo at tho Chicago convention. "We had supposed that Sessions and Itobort sojfnnd Woodin wero ontitled to the honor of that act, but it seems that oven they had their leader. Inter Ocean. Guiteau claims that ho "broko the unit rulo" by a speech ho made, that oleoted Garlield.and entitled tho breaker to a choice of olllces. Guiteau, wo presume, would not be willing to di- vulo the honor of broUKing tho unit rulo with Sessions, Robertson and Woodin. Sir Edward Thornton says that some years ago, when crazy British subjects indulged in the pastime of shooting at the Queen, "just for tho fun of tho thing," tho authorities wero much puz zlod to know what moans to employ to prevent assassination. Finally they took to sending such offondors to an asylum, whero thoy wero regularly whipped, and this modo of punishment seemed to act as a perfect preventive. There aro threo classes of scoundrels in his country who ought to bo served tho same way. Tho first is composed of such man as Guiteau, who havo ho strong a desire to leap to importance that thoy do it at tho oxponso of mur der. Tho second is tho class led by Nihilists like Schwab, of Now York, who chatter and chuckle over tho shooting of tho President, and give out word that Grant will "got a dose pretty soon," becauso ho has dared to condemn such persons as this Schwab and his associates. Tho third is composed of editors who seek to inllamo tho passions of just such brutes as both tho above classes, and incito murdor by protend ing that tho Vico President and Sena tor Conkling aro indirectly, if not di rectly, responsible for the crime at Washington. There ought to bo a law whoreby such scoundrels could be ar rested, tried, sent to tho asylum or tho workhouso, and havo a littlo sonso nnd humanity beaten into them. Though assuming more virtuo than their first named associates in crimo, thoy aro more dangerous than either of the oth er two classes, and should bo dealt with accordingly. It is justBuch men who rouso mobs, incito rovolutionB, and sot tho crazy murderers at work, while thoy go off to some safo hiding placo and onjoy tho spectacle. Tho pooplo know and realizo this in Chicago, and if tho crimes which theso men havo covertly advised should bo committed as a result of their labor, oven tho most patient appeals to moderation could not provont tho condign punishment which would pursuo and fall upon them. It is a good timo for such In cendiary cowards to display a littlo discretion. Tho path of safety, as woll as decency, leads that way. Inter ucian. Tho following, written by Guiteau to tho president, gives the Ho to his boast thst ho was a stalwart; " reiret the trouble yon are haciny with Senator Cankllny. You are riijht and should maintain your position. You haco mv support, and that of all 2)atrlotlc citizens." Such assassin sheets as the Chicago Tribune, Louisville Courier Journal and Omaha Jive persist in their dastard ly efforts to connect tho attempted as sassination with Conkling and Arthur, because the assassin 'in the supremo moment of his crimo as an oxousb for its commission, declared himself a stal wart. If thero Is any political signifi cance in tho sayings and doings of Gui teau and they aro entitled to none wo placo against his declaration of st.tlwartlsm his letter; to the president written coolly, declaring his sympathy with tho administration. Guiteau was not a stalwart. Ho was an ad ministration man. And falling out with tho administration because ho could nat get an olllco he avenged his insulted honor with pistol and bullet, and confirms tho old saying that fami ly quarrels aro tho worst of quarrels. Now, understand us. . We hellovo that Guiteau, whether crazy or not, shot the president through spite; that had ho got tho olllco ho sought ho would not havo shot the president; ho would not havo declared himself a stalwart; ho would have still adhered to the sen timents of the above note to the presi dent. Tho very fact that he hung around tho capitol boring tho president and heads of departments for unofficial appointment is evidence ample, that if ho had any sympathy wlth.any faction it must have been with the administra tion, whom ho claimed, in his excess ive and crazy egotism, to have been greatly instrumental in electing. If ho was a stalwart why did ho not go to tho stalwarts for assistance in securing a placo. Ho called on Blaine, and the President, and tho othor administration men, but there is no (vidonco that he ever wont to a stalwart, oven for a recommendation. Mr. Conkling and Mr. Arthur wero in Washington nil winter, and Guiteau was thero also pushing his claims for ofilco, and even long before tho troublo aroao between tho administration and Mr. Conkling, but Guiteau uevor approached thoso leading stalwarts for any favors in any shape. Ho certainly would havo at tempted to obtain their holp or to get on friendly terms with them had ho been such a terrible stalwart, but ho did not, and Conkling nor Arthur had any recollection of tho man. Now then if Guiteau is to be placed as an important factor in political events, as the abovo named incendiary papers in sist ho must be, then whero ho belongs is directly and most positively with the faction with which ho quarreled, and in no manner anywhoro else. NEWS ITEMS. A cablegram says: Harvest pros pocts in Southern Itussia aro so bril liant that if realized tho abundance will bo unprecedented. Fred.

Emporor William enquired aftor tho condition of tho prosldont nnd tondorod his sympathy. Thoro Ib no man In tho country who so ardontly desires tho recovery of tho President as Chester A. Arthur. No one need doubt the sincerity of his ex pressions upon this subject. Cin cinnati Qazetti, MISCELLANEOUS.

Superstitious people llnd some silly significance in tho fact that General Garfield and President Harrison wore inaugurated on Friday. An Ohio doctor cured himself of small pox by eating lemons, and de clares that it is a specific for tho dis ease William C. Count, woll known as a scientific writor, has a long letter In the Now York Tribune, that tho now rail road motor, tho hydrogen locomotive, whoso fuel is made from water, is a success.

It is astonishing the number of of peoplo who aro killed with pistols which aro "not loaded." Pistols, of all othors, aro tho most useless, and at tho samo timo most dangerous, of weapoiiB. Thoy kill moro friends than enemies, more honest pooplo than thioves Young men should bo train ed to dospiso a pistol.

" Again, ho liko wiso boasted of being "a lawyer." Aro wo also to hear no more of lawyers? Ho made a special boast of bolng a the ologian, wrote a book about tho second comlnir of Christ. Aro wo to hoar nothing moro of "thoology"or of Chris tianity? Tho testimony of tho Pension Office at Washington is that Guiteau is in sane, Somo months ago ho mado appli cation for a ponslon, claiming that ho was a Boldlor of tho latowar, but ho could not give his company or regl mont, and his conduct at tho Pension Olllco was so peculiar, tha tho papers were marked "Insane," and filed away. Oorrospondonco Botwoon Ooukling and MacVcagh, Washington, July 7. Tho follow ing correspondence has passed between Conkling and Attornoy-Genernl Mac Velgh: Fimi Avknuk Hotel, New York, Julys. My Dear Sir: In tho abhor rence with which all decent men alike shudder at tho attempt to murdor tho president, I have given thought to a matter to whicli your attention may or may not have turned. Our crim inal code treats premeditated homicide in all cases alike, irrespective of the victim, murder being visited by the greatest penalty. Perhaps no distinc tion between ono case and another could be founded on public relations held by tho person slain, but in case of an attempt tp murder a broad distinc tion can be mado between assailing tho life of an individual and an at tempt to take a life of special value to tho whole people. Tho shocking oc currence of Saturday, I think, demands that the definition and punishment of assaults aimod at high executive offi cers, whether successful or not, should bo made thoroughly rigorous. Tho man who attempts the life of tho Pres ident, if morally rosponslblo, commits an offense which tho nation should guard against and punish by exertion of all tho power that civilized nations may employ. 1 suggest this as deserv ing consideration. My profound sym pathies aro with tho prosident and all of you overy hour. Tho conflict of re ports keep Impound fear striving with each other, with nothing stable except facts and the trust that the worst is past. 1 wish you would express to tho president my deepest sympathy in this hour, which should hush all discord and enlist pniyora for his safe deliver ance. Pleaso also give to Mrs. Garfield my most respectful condolence. Trust ing that all will bo well, I am cordially yours, (Signed) Roscoe Conkling. Hon. Hoscoo Conkling, Fifth Avenuo Hotel, Thanks for your letter of tho oth, whicli has just reached me. Its suggestions will bo carefully considered and its kind message of sympathy will bo convoyed to tho president and Mrs. Garfield at tho earliest opportunity. (Signed) Wayne MaoYkauh. Tho millions of toads which havo ap peared in some sections of tho stato this year aro proving a useful harbin ger to tho farmers. Tho myriad of in jurious insects and worms which des troy crops are greatly thinned out if uotoxtorminntod altogether by theso toads. Insects aro about tho only thing that the Nolrraska fanner this year has to contend withand now that the toads havo been sent to destroy them, It would soom that providence is determined that our products shall not bo interfered with. Tho Nebraska farmer certainly has tho Lord on his side in this good year of 1881. Among tho potatoes those toads aro far moro serviceable than Paris green. Omaha Republican.

In tho oxcltomont over tho attempted assassination of tbo President, wo havo nearly lost sight of tho senatorial con test In Now York. Mattors havo changed Bomewhat within tho last few days.

Warner Miller, for long term ; E. G. Laplunn, short term. Surgoon Gonerul Barnes recently said of tho President's chances of get ting well, that a shot through tho liver is always doubtf ul until aftor tho lapse of thirty-one days aftor tho wound is mado, and bolieving the President's liver wns perforated, although tho symptoms aro very favorablo, thoro could bo no certainty regarding tho casountllthe expiration of that timo. Notice Is hereby given that I will examine all porsons who may dosiro to offer themselves as candidate for teachors of tho primary or common schools of this county, at tho Court House, in Brownvillo on tho first Saturday In each month.
