In this try ing ordeal of the republic , every nt tempt 'it hilarity would almost hi sacrilege.

"BuiNo out the street sprinkler11 ! is the heartfelt cry of every citizen. The latest nchivomont of stalwart- 'ism is the one which they will proba bly pride themselves on the least. THE Cmct'twatf Enquirer loudly calls upon the police to pull the Albany state house as a place of bad repute. FHANCK has obtained n taste of Af rican territory in the protectorate of Tunis , and now is hungering nftor n slice of Tripoli. GENERAL GHANT denies that ho has sold'his St. L'ouis farm. With that $250,000 ho ought to be nblo to buy At least another quarter section. CHINAMEN are looking with favor on Australia and are flocking there in great numbers. The Pacitic coast will'bid them a hearty "God speed. ' THE country has safely emerged from many trials , and it is to bo hoped that the bitter cup of having Arthur for president may pass nway from us. CONKLINO refused emphatically cally , n few days ngo , to return to the onato unless Tom Platt wont with liim. Ho has now a .good chance to redeem his promise. THE 104th call issued for bonds by Secretary Windom completes the transaction of refunding the out standing 5s nnd Os at' IU per cent , which was begun last spring. THE BEE again calls the attention of the city council to the urgent neces sity of providing for n thorough fire inspection of every building erected in our city. ' A great conflagration is a heavy price to pay for inattention und neglect. TIIK balance of interest duo the , .United States by the Pacific railroads 1 is $34.447,241.

And still wo are informed that the people must not interfere with the business of "private corporations , " Mr. Arthur thought it would bo out of placa for him to tender his sympa thies to his dying chief. If the grave error of the Chicago convention teaches Americans anything , it will be to select vice-presidents from among men of ability and not from ward rol > iticians.

Gai field in the midst of peace and pro ; perity is a calamity which must sen Dimly impair the vitality of our syster ) l government. [ n absolute monarchies where king uid emperors trample upon nnd of ires ? their helpless subjects rcgccid ind tyrannocido becomes n lost rcsoi if a despairing people. But in lountry governed by the people , fo ho people , assassination is not enl , ho most monstrous of crimes but ai rroparablo calamity. James' A. Oar iold possessed every attribute of man tood. Raised from among the pcopl ty his own exertions and strongtl if character , his sympathies won Iwaya with the people. Self-made olf-oducatod ; broad-shouldered mu iroad-mindod , ho was a typica Lmorican to whom every citizen o ho Republic could point with pride 'ailed by the voice of the nation tc ho executive chair , ho sallied fortl rom his homo loss than four monthi go to assume the burdens and ro ponsibilitios of the great trust. Mot at the very threshold will ictional opposition that sought to do rado him from his high oflico , ho as ortod his prerogative with dignity ant rmnoss , nnd the country , regardless f party , accorded him ita hoartj ympathy. And now , without provocation , with' ut warning , without a shadow of ox- use ho is shot down , cruelly mur- erod in cold blood in sight of the capi- A , to make way for factional leaders rho have been politically wrecked i attempting to antagonize- him , Vlmt a terrible commentary on the .ogradatioh of our political system ! Vhat a shock to the stability of out ustitutions ! The assassination of amos A. Garftcld proclaims , to all lie world that the president of the touted States , whether in war or in oaco , is in constant danger , and. ko Mexico , this country is liable at ny time to experience a revolution y the dagger or revolver. A JUST VERDICT. And now , without provocation , without nrning , without a nhmtow of excuse , ho in liot duwn , cnielly murdered jn cold blood i nit-lit of the cni > itil , tu make way for xcUonnl IciulerH who have been politically recked in atUiiiptiui' to ontagonlro him. -Hoe. Those words are carefully studied , nil they are atrocious. It is disgrace- ul that they appear in a public jour- al. * # * # Not even the pontanoous feelings of the masses , roll-nigh beside themselves over his torriablo tragedy much loss the obor second thought of the 'ooplo ' , wo can rest assured rill impute as a crime to .unujedH of thousands of republicans n act whichcannot possiblyhavobooii thor tlinn the act of one man. It ia lonstrous thus to arraign a whole oction of a great party for the net of madman or demon. * * * If ho _ nct of the assassination of 'resident Onrfieid has any significance rhatovpr , boyoi-d a personal siguiii- nnco , it must bo found in the com- luniatic or nihilistic character im- uted to the assassin. And when , if vor , wo see Rosewater arraigning the rretch Gittoau on that ground , wo hall bo edified with another and not- bio instance of " .Satan rebuking sin. " -Omaha [ Republican. "ihavo killed Garliold ! Arthur is tow president It was a political no- essity. " Those were the words uttered by ho assassin Gittcau as ho was taken n charge by the police. If the act of the assassination ol 'resident Garfield has any sii-nificanci rlmtever beyond a personal signifl anco , it must bo found in the dospor- ito political conflict precipitated by actional leaders who sought to coiv rol the president in the appointment if federal oflicors. "Whether Gittcav eaixo or a nmdinaii las motives won olitical nnd liis inspiration to commil ho damning crime was political. Now , it is a well established maxin n law that every man is responsible or the consequences of his acts. Political parties ore an agirogatior > f individuals acting in concert for po itical ends and they arc justly responsi > lo for the political nets of their parti ana. Thus the democratic party wai icld responsible for the slaveholders obcllion , although the great body o : hat party \n \ the northern atatoa wai oyul to the union nnd fought foi the flag side by side with republics ! in the ranks of the national nrniio Had there been no secession thci would have been no rebellion , nnd there had been no rebellion " \Vilk < Booth never would have conceived tli plot to assassinate Abraham Lin col i The death of Lincoln was thorefoi the direct consequence of the robe lion , nnd while no individual leader i the rebellion outside of the conspin tors associated with "SVilkcs Booth wi directly involved in this monstroi crime , yet the tragic death of Lin col was as much chargeable to the robe lion as if ho had been slain by rebo on the battle Hold. Moreover , oycrbody convorsai with the history of Lincoln's ossass : nation knows that Wilkcs Booth woul novcrhavonttcmptcd thollfo of.Lincol had the rebellion been successful. ] was mainly because the coniodorac liad almost collapsed by the fall ( Richmond nnd surrender of Lee thr Booth as a last resort made the al tempt to retrieve the fallen fortune nf the confederates. Wilkcs Boot may have boon insane when ho fire , ho shot that killed Abraham Lincolr jut the verdict of the country was thn ; ho deed was the political cui initiation of the rebellion The assassination of President Gar Iold is as much n political crime n was the murder of Abraham Lincoln Ilio motive in both instances was desire to bring about n political rove ution nnd the inspiration canto fron v conflict precipitated by politicn cad era in their attempt to control th jovernmont. When Conkling am .Matt seceded from the senate the ; mrrcndorod that body to the politico momy nnd arrayed themselves am heir followers in deadly hostility ti . 'resident Gariiold and his adminis ration. It was a declarationofwartha nvolved the fundamental principle if constitutional government and tin Teat body of the American people ro [ ardlcss of party , resenting the nt empt to ovor-rido and degrade tin irosidont , rallied to iho support o jarfiold. The outcome was the hu < niliating discomfiture of the seceded onators. Now this man Guiteau was a slal vart nnd in active sympathy with thai action that approved the course o : 3onkling nnd Platt. There is a 'so-called stalwart argar n Washincton City edited by the ro oubtablo Gorham and controlled bj lie stnr route ring. Taking the aclional conflict at Albany as itf retoxt , this paper has waged the most olontlcss and cruel war upon the resident and his cabinet. From thif apor the assassin Guiteau drew hie nspiration. Ho was led to believe ! iat Garfield was a stumbling'block ' in lie path of the republican party anil is death , followed by the accession f Arthur , became a political necessity. icting deliberately upon this convic- on , ho armed himself for the dast- rdly deed. Docs any sane man bo- eve that Guiteau would hnvo oven lought of such n crime had there eon no political feud precipitated .by 10 Now York senators. Does any sane man believe that uittcau would have carried his crime ito execution had the New York leg- laturo triumphantly re-elected the occdod senators ? In other words Conkling and Platt had not seceded rom the senate the thought of mur- cring Gar Geld never would have on- > rod Guittoau's head , and if Conkling ud Platt had succeeded in rebuking arfield by are-election ho would never ave attempted the assassination. Reasoning from tlieso promises itbo- omcs self-evident that Gar field was molly shot down in sight of the ipitol to make way for factional mdera who hnvo boon politically recked in attempting to antagonize im. im.This This will bo the verdict of the iinorican people , calmed nnd sobered y the second thought. Such a vor- ict does not in any way involve these ictional leaders with complicity in 10 great crime , but it holds them idireetly responsible for the conso- uonces. And -right hero lot s say that The Omaha llejwlli- ucither knowingly and wil- ally falsifies or ignorantly labors ndor a delusion when it represents 10 faction tliat upholds Conkling and 'latt as numbering thousands of stul- art republicans. Wo know whoropf wo speak when id assort that there are not .twenty lousand republicans in' all these Jnitod States who approve Mr , Conk- ing's coiirso in deserting his post of uty and his unseemly scramble for o-oloction. The great body of stal- arts who were for Grunt in 1881 , ro to-day in outspoken sympathy rith Garfield nnd his ndministration , nd no matter whether the assassin's liot shall make Chester A. irthur president or whether lonornl Garfield , recovers the verdict f history will be that the ossassina- ion nf Garfield was the outcome of lolitical feud in which a sympathizer rith the worsted party sought to chiovo forcibly by the bullet what ould not bo achieved peaceably by ho ballot.

The announcement is made that tl would-bo assassin of President Gn field committed his dastardly net in fit of insanity , nnd interviews nro pu' lishcd from various sources indicntit that for years past his mind has bc < unsettled , In Chicago ho was n rested nnd jailed for the ombczzlcmci nf collections , nnd his picture ndorr thorogucs gallery. In Now York ho wi known as n chronic dead bent nr swindler , nnd in tcii 6ther cities 1 is remembered by actions which shoul long since hnvo placed him in tl penitentiary. Throughout his who checkered career as n thief , imposto swiiidlcr nnd murderer nn entire a1 senco of the moral sense and the toi dcncics of n confirmed nnd thorough ! depraved criminal have been the prii cipal niaiks by which ho is now pn nounccd to bo a madman and mania The 'jinsanity dodge , " as it is no generally termed by lawyers , is bocon ing much too common. Hardly ocai of homicide appears in our courts bi this plea , now so well worn out , is 01 terod in defence of the criminal. Tli mores brutal and unprovoked tli crime , the moro surely IB n jury ci tortained with the insanity fictibi Every evidence of a criminal dispos tion in thn culprit , every incidci which can tend to show a inclination to disobey the Ian mid to confuse the simplest distiiu tion between ritrht and wrong is dh torted into a palliation of the offens Mid a proof of mental derangomen which relieves the culprit from re iponsibility.

If 'insanity bo do ined as a lack of mental am noral equilibrium , nvery deviation o ho judgment and every attempt a irimo may bo considered as the mani cstntion of insanity.
