OMAHA , July 4th , 1881.
Wo have no doubt that our corres
pondent's suggestion will bo adopted
in case of the president's death. TJII
i BEU has strong hopes that it will not
bo necessary to put the suggestion in
to operation.
MK. GONKUXO is guarded by nolicc

Public feeling runs so high tluit
several letters threatening his life
have been received by the ox-senator.
While no one connects that faction of
which Mr. Conkling is the leader ,
with the deed which has plunged the
nation in mourning , that principle of
which stalwartism is the exponent is
justly held responsible for the
dastardly act which has lain low
the president of the republic. In the
revulsion of fooling which accompanies
the sad news from Washington , no
wonder that Mr. Conkling telegraphs
to his followers in Albany to make a
desperate fight and force an adjourn
ment if possible.
In the face of the numerous and
conflicting bulletins which come from
Washington , it wjll bo well for the
people to know that the chances arc
all against the recovery of the presi
dent. A gun shot wound in the ab
dominal cavity is always a most dan
gerous matter , The danger from
ahock , | inflaiwUion , the formation of
matter in the wound and the poisoning
of Jhe blood by unhealthy pus , most
all be met and counteracted ovpn if no
Borious injury lias been done to the
anyot the vitalorgans. Strong as the
constitution of President Garfield lias
been , and favorable as are the
reports of the physicians it is not
well to overlook the great danger
through which the sufierer must pass
befpre his recovery may bo confi
dently expected.
TAKE IT BACK.
The editor of this paper horowitl
demands prompt , ample and uncquiv
oc.il retraction of the malicious libc
that appeared in Sunday's issue of th
Omaha Rejmllican , in an article pur
porting to controvert the views ex
pressed by TUB BEE , concerning th <
political motives that impelled the as
sassinatioii of President Gitrficld.
In this article the following refer
cnco is made to the editor of thi
paper :
"They are the words of a domngogin
who habitually appeals to the bind
gcon and the torch whenever a con
cst in a mere local issue goes against
him. It was he who , in the time o
the riots in Omnlm appealed to tin
brute force of the mob * and put it
peril the ofllcers of u great corpora
lion nnd the homes of its ollicials
amontr the brat citizens of Omaha. "
A moro villainous compound o
falsehood nnd slandcrwa s ncverput it
print. ThoeditorofTiiKBiihas residci
in Omaha nearly eighteen years. Dur
ing all that time ho hns been idcnti
ficd as a property owner and tax payer
or with the growth of this city. Dur
ing the ten years since ho foundet
Tin : JJii : : ho has been the victim o
the torch and bludgeon in the handi
of bullies and incendiaries incit
cd to tlicao crimes by politica
enemies and business rivals ; but ii
every instance where mob rule am
riot threatened thc lives or proport ;
of this community , his pen and voic
were exerted in behalf of law uiu
order.
Every citizen of Omaha who residci
lioro during the labor troubles of 187' '
knows that it was mainly the appeal
of this paper for law and order am
the personal exertions ot its edito
that saved this city from an itnncndiiij
riot
Moro than one thousand working
men exasperated by the abuse and in
suits heaped upon them by the loca
monopoly papers , wore holding in
dignation meetings in the strcots om
night in July. The railway officials
apprehensive of an outbreak , ha (
taken refuge in their homes. Tin
Herald office was barricaded and undo
guard of the sheriff. The proprietor
of the llcptdilican were frightcnei
over the probable gutting of thoi
concern. The whole body of the i
"howling communists" as they wen
termed by the monopoly press
marched to the residence of the oditoi
of TUB BKK and called for a speech ,
A few incendiary words would Imvc
sent that crowd down the hill on t
double-quick and nothing could havi
withstood them.
But the editor of Tin : BEE implorec
these workinginen to go quietly t (
their homes , and counselled them tc
do nothing that could provoke a bread
of the peace , or cause the destruction
of property. The crowd applaudec
the speech. Within thirty minute :
they had all dispersed and rcachci
their hojnes. The printing oflicos am
railway buildings were saved from do
struction.
It is the height of infamy for tin
editor of the licjnibliatn to deliberate
ly coin such malicious slanders ntu
circulate them broadcast. If there if
n spark of manhood left in him ho wil
make prompt and full retraction. If
not ho will compel us to treat hin
as a knave , and show him up in alighi
that will make Omaha as hot a place
for him as THE BEE made it for thost
eminent lecherous quacks , Mumoy &
Aldrich , who were morally less dis
reputable.

Journal.
This arraignment docs not possess
the merit of originality. It is simply
an echo of the vile slanders coined
and put in print by the Omaha Kepnb-
Venn ,
The editorial pimp of the B. & M.
at Lincoln has caught the refrain from
the editorial pimp of the Union Pa
cific monopoly at Omaha. This brace
of brass-collared slanderers have gone
oll'half cocked.
The villiuns that hold opinions sim
ilar to those expressed by THE BEE
are very numerous in America. There
are several hundred thousand of them
and their views are voiced by such pa.
[ ) ors as the New York Timtt and
Tribunt , Chicago Tribune , St. Paul
Pioneer P w , Louisville Courier
Journal , and scores of other metro
politan papers , in language decidedly
moro caustic than was the comment
ot THE BEE to which these editorial
) imps of monopoly take exception
Wo have already given logical reasons
for the views expressed by TUB BEE
concerning the motives that impelled
Guiteau to attempt the assassination
of President Garfield. And now
wo ask the cowardly libeller
who edits the Lincoln < /Wrial
to cite a single line that has ever ap
pcarcd in this paper wherein wcaltl
w.is denounced as a crime , labor rep
resented as a disgrace and a forcibli
division of property was advocated
Wo defy him to cite n single instanci
where Hosowater has endorsed sucl
sentiments by his voice or pen.
During a period of thirteen year
Iloaowatcr labored from ten to sixtcei
long hours a day at the Tolographor'i
profession with an intermission of les
than one month , nnd during the pas
ten years ho has done moro hard labo
every ninulo day than the drone tha
edits the Lincoln Journal has done ii
a month.
In the face of thcso facts it is re
freshing to charge Rosewater will
looking upon labor as degrading , am
a man who has labored ns hard fo
what property ho lias acquired , a
IloBowator , will hardly teach other
to demand a forccible division of th <
world'tTproperty. ff
But Unit is not the grievance whicl
the brasi collared parasite of the Lin
coin Journal labors under ,
That eminent patriot has never for
given Ilosowater for leading th
movement in the legislature of 1871 ,
which terminated in the iinpeachmen
of David Butler nnd the breaking ii ]
of the most rascally ring of publi
thieves that over plundered thcpeopl
of this state. The Lincoln Journal
founded with the money stolen bythes
thieves and jobbersfrom the taxpayer
of Nebsaskawas put into the hands o
Gore and ho became the champion am
apologist of the robbers and partne
of the jobbers.
From that day to this ho has beei
the mouthpiece and tool of every thieving
ing ring that over infes
ted the state capital , am
since the corporate monopolies havi
made periodic raids upon convention
and legislatures in Nebraska he ha
played the pimp and capper for then
in decoying public men from the pat !
of honor and duty. For thcso in
valuable services the Lincoln Jbitnia
has been supplied with funds anc
patronage and its editor , fed from thc
monopoly crib , has made up for hi :
disastrous reverses in the race foi
political spoils. These disasters hi
very justly attributes to THE BEE
The downfall of Butler , Hitchcock anc
Paddock , the great political pillan
that supported him and wore sup
ported by The Journal , is chargeable
to Rosuwater , hence his p out warath ,
Wo can only account for Mr. Gero'i
malicious nnd slanderous assault upon
another hypothesis. Mr. Gere evidently
labors under the delusion that the re
peated efl'orts of THE BEE to make
him and his co-partners in jobborj
nnd swindling disgorge the money ;
fraudulently taken out of the State
treasury , are a communistic attempt tc
compel a forcible division of property.
If that is what the Journal refers
to we plead guilty to the impeachment ,
Wo always have been , and are now ii
favor of compelling a forcible divisior
between every scoundrel who plunder ;
the taxpayers of this state and nation ,
AVe arc in favor of compelling overj
individual or corporation that cheats
the state by bogus printing bids
by corrupt collusion with other bidders -
dors , by false count by inferior ma
terials to divide forcibly and return tc
the state what they have filched fron :
it by fraud. We are in favor also o ]
compelling a forcible division ol
wealth with defaulters and embez
zlers. Wo are emphatically in favoi
of a forcible division of property
owned by corporate monopolies when
ever they shirk their just proportion
of taxes , and if this is Communism ,
Nihilism or deviltry under any othet
name , let the brass collared cappers
and pimps make the most of it.
THE COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK1.
THE BEE acknowledges the receipt
of a copy of H. G. Dun & Go's , semi-
nnnual report relating to the state of
Business throughout the country. Ac
cording to the report the business of the
United States has attained a magni-
; udo never before reached. This
ms boon done in the face of circum
stances which might ordinarily have
retarded the general prosperity. A
: old and unseasonable spring was
accompanied by losses from freshets ,
ate. , and this served to add to the
ilinicuUies of thc preceding months.
[ n the southern states the early win-
or trade , owing to unfavoiab'.o wcath-
or , was almost disappointing. Largo
purchases of merchandise had been
imdo in expectation of an extended
trade which did not foll.ow , and this
created difficulties in many southern
ocalitios. From this it will be seen
that merchants of the west , north
west and south have had troubles to
contend with during the first
part of the present year
unusually great. Notwithstand-
ng these adverse circumstances , the
figures presented by Messrs. H. , G
Dun & Co. , show a healthy condition
of affairs especially in Nebraska.
\VritingfromOniaha Mr. D.II , Good
rich , the state manager of the commor-
sial agency , reports thirty-two failures
with on aggregate of 887,700 , and
lays ;
The severe and protracted winter ,
'ollowad by the late floods , all tended
0 block the wheels of trade to so late
1 daythat most of the jobbers viewed
the year with some apprehension , not
July as to volume of sales , but ulti-
uato profits to bo realized. A con-
lervativo view of an agricultural dis-
.rict , thus hampered in the early part
of ( the years , and dependent almos
entirely , for recuperation , on tin
year's crop , would not tend to encoui
ace , or foster , trade j especially wit
the knowledge , in mind , of the dis
.13tors so frequently overtaking th
rural districts. The result , howovei
as { fathered from a careful survo ,
of this Btatc , nt present , leads t
the belief that great cxpec
tations are to be realized as to th
growing crops. The general cflec
has been most beneficial in renewin
confidence , and fonvnrling the inter
ests of trade ; the expressions are no\
current , that the sales will average
to July 1 , far better than expected
and , in many cases , an increase on laa
years' corresponding date is shown
The balance ot the year will b
watched anxiously by the trade here
'as many portions ot the state need ;
good harvest , to ofi'sot their failure ii
crops last year , and but few section
have the nge and accumulation to gi
through the trials of a poor harvest
without a scries of disasters which fol
low. The trials of a severe winter nr
no\V nearly furgotton in the bountifu
expectations at hand.
A table which accompanies the re
port shows that the failures for th
first half of 1881 were 2,802 , and th
liabilities 10,877,150. The figure
slightly exceed those of the first si
months of 1880 , for which period th
failures are stated at 2,497 and the li
abilities at J32,888,7C3. ? For the DC
minion of Canada the failures for th
the present year have been 349 , witi
liabilities aggregating S3,002,85E
Notwithstanding the slight incrccs
in failures , Messrs. R. G. Dun & Cc
say that they indicate a stability nni
strength in the position of the grea
mass of the mercantile communit
that is in happy consonance with th
prosperous condition of the countr
generally.
FOREIGN SYMPATHY.
It has been eaid that "one touc
of nature makes the world akin.
Nothing has more clearly or full
proved the truth of this familiar prc
verb than the reports cabled within th
jast few days from foreign shores t
this country. The sympathy and condolence
dolenco of the entire civilzed worli
have boon extended to the family o
President Garfield and to the Amcri
can people in the terrible aflliction
which they have been undergoing
Tlio nations stand aghast at th
desparato deed of the assassin. Tin
polished ex pressions of diplomat
sympathy only voice the heart
felt sorrow of the masses , fo :
which they are the spokes
men. Nationality , language , race
private feuds and public animosities-
all are buried in the face of the appal
ling calamity , which now casts it ;
dark shadow over our people , anc
four continents share with us a com
mon anxiety and a common grief.
In England , a country bound to ui
by the ties of commerce , but still mor <
closely by the bond of ancestry anc
language , the manifestations o
brotherly interest and anxiety an
most mjirked. Britain's queen ha
personally communicated to Ministei
Lowell her sorro it and grief over tin
dreadful deed , and has desired to bi
kept thoroughly informed of evorj
change in the condition of the distin
guishcd sufferer. Through the Brit
ish m inister at Washington the heart
felt sympathy and anxiety of thc
queen has been transmitted to tin
President and Mrs. Garfiold. In tin
house of commons , on Tuesday , tin
subject of the assassination ot the
president was brought up and referrec
to in touching terms by Mr. Glad
stone and Sir Stafford Northcote
while the Lord Mayor of Londoi
in opening his court on Monday , of
ficially on behalf of the municipalitj
and the entire city , expressed his un
mitigated horror and detestation ol
the crime and the universal sympathj
felt for the president's family and thc
great nation so cruelly deprived ol
their chief.
In Franco the feeling seems equally
intense. The boulevards of Paria
were crowded with throngs of people
Bagerly awaiting the news. The French
: hambopof deputies adjourned in ordei
to testify its detestation of the crime
in Washington , and its respect for thc
president of a great republic striken
lown by the hand of an assassin.
From Germany , Austria , Russia ,
Italy , Spain , Portugal , Denmark and
5wedenBrazil and the South American
republics , from Australia and from
listant Asia and Africa , como mes-
lages of sympathy and condolence ,
These kindly [ messages are tributes
not only to the manly worth of one of
the noblest of mon but also to the
rent nation of which General Gar-
iold id the chief executive. They are
ndications that geographical lines
: annot , bind human sympathies and
; hat in the case of a nation's sorrows
: ho common brotherhood of mankind
s no philosapher's dream , but n lu
ng reality.
AT an early hour this morning the
jondition of the president was resorted -
sorted as favorable us could bo ex
acted. The first great crisis has
jeen passed in safety and the strong
institution of General Garfield has
uaintained itself against injuries
vhich in nine cases out of ten would
lave proved mortal many hours since.
[ t will relieve all to learn that the
) hysiciau3 of the president are in
creasingly hopeful , that General Gar-
ield himself is confident of recover } * ,
in j that a general lightening of the
mrden of anxiety is manifest at the
iVhite House. The praycrsof the na :
tion are uniting with thc hopes of th
civilized world for General Garfield
recovery , and while the odds agains
which the distinguished sufferer i
righting are enormous , a magnified :
physique and a still more powtrfi
will may yet prove 'sufficient to \vi
the day ,
Bon TOOMHS explains why ho re
fuses to apply for amnesty. Ho saj
he doesn't consider thc present go\
eminent n legal one. At the sain
time Bob is perfectly willing to receiv
the protection of the law for th.i
tritlo of 83,000,000or so which ho ha
saved from the wreck of the rebellion
Press Opinions ,
"THE TIMES. "
Kroni the Times :
Though the murderer was obviousl
of disordered mind , it is impossibl
to ignore the causes which lead inimc
diately to this act , which directed hi
ill-regulated will to its final aim. H
wig a disappointed office-seeker , am
ho linked the bitterness of his person
nl disappointment with the passional
animosity of faction. His resentmen
was inflamed and intensified by as
saults upon the president , which hav
been common in too many circles fo
the past few months certainly. W
are far from holding any party or an ;
section of a party responsible for till
murderous attack ; but wo believe i
our duty to point out that the act wa
the exaggerated expression of n senti
mcnt of narrow and bitter hntre
which has been only too freely indulg
ed. It is not too much to say , in th
first place , that if Garfield had no
been chief of a service in which ofti
ces are held out as prizes to men ci
much the same merit and muc
the same career as this murderer , h
would not have been exposed to thi
attack , and while this is beyond dispute
puto , it is also probable that the mui
dorer's mad spite would not have bee
"screwed to the sticking point. " ]
it had not been stirred by the licens
that has prevailed in certain quartet
with reference to the president. Th
event , therefore , is one which maj
and ought , to convey a lesson wliic
should teach us the folly and wren
of the insane pursuit of office whic
pur methods of public cmploymon
invite , which should shew us th
danjjer and disgrace of unbridled po
litical passion aroused by thcs
methods. In a certain sense the ac
of Guitcau was an accident , for it wa
entirely out of the range of any ot
dinary motives ; but it is not inexplic
able. It is clearly of those accident
which bring more vividly to mind th
forces that create them.
"THE "
TIUDUXE.
The Tribune says :
There is absolutely nothing to ac
count for this horrible deed , which
to a great nation , is a terrible calam
ity , except a crazy spirit of faction
Political fanaticism has been showinj
itself before us all in many phases lit
tie short of madness. Tluj countr ;
has seen the wildest ravings of abus'
about the president , and has paid lit
tie attention ; but curses and threat :
are followed at last by murderoui
shots , and the country starts with her
ror. Must we not realize , in the ligh
of the dreadful calamity at Washing
ton , that those who breed and nurs
this malignant , selfish , grasping , am
desperate spirit are aiming a blow a
the life of the republic ?
FOREIGN FEELING.
IN' ST. rETEKSDUKO.
ST. PETEUMJUiia , July 4. Th
press of this city is unanimous in ex
pressing its horror and constornatioi
by reason of the tragedy at Washing
ton. The Golos believes the crini
was duo to personal vengeance , am
that it can't bo rightly attributed i
political motives or that the assassii
was doing the work of a partizan con
spiracy. The Navoz Vremja , a jour
ual with liberal inclinations and generally
orally well informed , says : "Tha
President Garfield probably fell i
victim to his honesty and his straight
forward policy. It fears that tin
work of the assassin is a conspiracy
and that very dark days are bcfon
the republic. "
INTENSE SYMPATHY AMONO THE AMKK
IDAS' BANKERS IN IONUON.
LONDON , July 4. There is intonsi
sympathy among the American bank
ers hero for President Uarfield. Nc
financial or political anxiety however
is felt over his attempted assassination
although public opinion is preparec
for intelligence of a fatal tcrminatioi
of the president's wounds. The
market for American securities ii
quiet. The dealers are all buyers ai
figures over the Now York quotation !
and there are no sellers at a reason

THE lOKl ) MAYOll OK LONDON ON THf
ASSASSINATION.
LONDON , July 4 , The Lord Mayoi
an opening his court at the Mansion
iiouso tliis morning.said that ho wished
n a formal and official manner to ex-
ircss what ho knew was the universal
'eeling ot the citizens of London , re
specting the deplorable tragedy at
Washington. The attempt upon Pros-
dent Garfield's life was regarded
with unmitigated honor and detesta-
ion by ewry member of
ho municipal administration
of London , and this feeling was fully
shared in by every citizen of the mo-
ropolis. The lord mayor wont on to
Jay , while ho earnestly hoped that the
resident's life would bo spared ho
md the mournful duty of stating
that the latest news from Washington
vas very unfavorable , and that' the
vorst was to bo feared , The lord
nayor closed his remarks which were
isted to with the deepest attention
by expressing his deep sorrow for the

vith the president's family and the
lation cruelty deprived of its chief
nagistrato.

HE FRENCH C1UMBEK OP DEPUTIES.
PARIS , July 4. The chamber of
leputies assembled as usual to-day ,
jut after the reading of the journal
u the discharge of absolutely nocos-
ary routine work , the assembly
manimously voted to Ijouru for a
day in order to express its detcntnlioi
of the crime at Washingtonandits re
spects for the ruler who has thu
been stricken down. The nvidit ]
with which the news is awaited foi
and devoured as it arrives i
extraordinary. The usual in
difference with which tin
Parisians receive news from abroac
has given place to an eager interest
The cafes alon ; ? the boulevards an
thronged with people who are dis
cussing the tragedy with their usua
imaginations. The people arc dis
posed to accept the idea that the as
sassinatioii was the work of nn insam
man , and arc eagerly accepting a ver
sion of the atl'uir which represents thc
assassination as thc first blow struck
by a band of conspirators , who have
as their ultimate object the submis
sion of the republic and the clectioi
of a dictatorship in its place.
LONDON , July .4. Sir Stafforc
Northcoto , speaking in the house o
commons on the assassination of President
ident Garfield , said ho hoped thc
speaker would forgive him for transgressing
grossing upon ordinary rules of housi
and for asking a cniestion without giv
ing previous notice of it. Ho wisliec
to ask Mr. Gladstone what was thc
latest of thc ollicial reports fron
Washington concerning Mr. Garfiold'i
condition. Gladstone said in replj
that ho was not at all surprised by Sii
Stafford Northcote taking the carlies
opportunity to make this inquiry re
snooting the deplorable evqnt whicl
had profoundly moved the feeling !
of two nations so close
ly related to each othci
and growing in friendship year bj
year. These remarks were greotec
with loud applause , but this was fol
lowed by expressions of sorrow whei
Gladstone went on to say that thc
latest official information was of t
gloomy character , and that the deatl
of the president was to be
feared. Throughout London anc
the provinces there is nlmos
universal manifestation of public sorrows
rows over the tragedy. The lates ]
dispatches from Washington roceivei
hero being of an unsatisfactory char
acter , the Americans in London have
postponed the meeting which hat
been called until a change for bcttci
or worse has taken place.
A PROFOUND IMPRESSION CHEATED I >
SPAIN.
LONDON , July 5. A Madrid specia
says : A profound impression ha ;
been caused hero and all over Spair
generally by the intelligence fro ; :
Washington. Journals of every shade

which its honored chief has been the
victim.
The Attempt upon President
Jn.cksons Life.
The assault upon President Garfield ii
the third that has been made upon thc
lives of American Presidents. Tlu
other victims were Presidents Jacksor
and Lincoln. With the facts as tc
assassination of the latter the public if
thoroughly familiar , but there is less
general knowledge concerning the at
tempt on President Jackson's life. II
occured at the capitol building ii :
Washington , January 30 , 1835. Or
that day the president attended thc
funeral of Hon. Warren R. Davis , t
representative from South Carolina ,
As ho came intp the portico o :
the cupitol from the rotunda i
person stepped forward fron
the crowd into the space in front o ;
the president and snapped a pistol ai
him , the precussion cap of which ex
ploded without igniting the charge ,
This person was struck down by a blow
from Lieutenant Gcduoy , of the navy ,
who happened to bo near. Ho alsc
received a blow promptly aimed ai
him by Mr. Secretary Woodbury ; bui
before receiving either blow snapped
a second pistol at the president. Thc
cap of that lock also exploded withoul
igniting the charge. The Dcrpetratoi
of this daring outrage was of course
immediately seized and taken in cus
tody by the marshal of the districtbj
vlioin he was carried to the city
hall , where ho underwent an examina
tion before Chief Justice Cranch. His
name was Richard Lawrence. By oc
cupation ho was a painter , and had
been a resident of Washington for twc
or three years , coming there from
Georgetown. Ho was committed to
jail in default of § 4,000 bail. No ra
tional motive was even conjectured at
the time for his conduct , and subse
quent disclosures showed that
the man was undoubtedly crazy.
Yet General Jackson's preju
dices were so violent that ho in
sisted that his political opponents
were more or less responsible for the
attempt , and intimated , especially ,
that George Poindoxfer , ono of the
ablest and best mon that Mississippi
lias produced , was concerned in the
ittompt. The general , however ,
seems to have boon entirely alone in
his suppositions ; absolutely , no ono
else apparently caring to risk his rep
utation for good will sufficiently to ex-
iress his concurrence in the presi
dent's surmises.
