THE VIDE PRESIDENT ,
The succession of Chester A. Arthur
to the presidency of the United States
is n possibility which is viewed with
grave concern by the American people.
There is a general fooling that ho lacks
the necessary qualifications for the
duties nnd responsibilities of the posi
tion. His political experience has
been decidedly limited , having been
chiefly gained in the manipulation of
local politics in New York. As nn
ofllco holder , Mr. Arthur's position ns
collector of the port of Now York
afforded him little opportunity for
taking any extended view of public
policy , of shaping public sentiment ,
or of leaving his impress
upon the national mind. It was in
view of thcso facts that his nomina
tion at Chicago was considered more
as n sap thrown to conciliate the fac
tion of the party with which ho had
been identified as any recognition of
his peculiar fitness for the position ,
During his term as vice-president
Mr. Arthur performed the routine
duties of his position with ordinary
ability , His refusal , however , to
unite with the republicans in forcing
the election of a president pro icm of
the scnato was a grave error. As
matters now stand in case of Presi
dent Garfiold's death and his own
removal by death or otherwise ,
) here would no ono bo author
ized to act as president until
an election could bo ordered as pro
vided by law. Mr. Arthur's conduct
in the Albany contest also laid him
open to grave criticism as exhibiting
a lack of the dignity connected with
his position.
The country must , however , fnco
the probability of Mr. Arthur's ele
vation to the presidency. It may bo
oaid 'in his favor that ho professes
himself as lacking confidence in his
own qualifiationa for the office. This
is a cheering sign , and may indicate
that in case the drcndcd cmorgoncy
does arise which makes the stop nec
essary , Mr , Arthur will riaonbovothnt
spirit of factionalism which heretofore
marked his political career 'and en
deavor to carry outtho principles nnd
policy of his lamented predecessor.
Under such circumstances Mr. Arthur
would bo afforded an opportunity for
the display of whatever politicalabili-
tics ho may possess. As president
the country will certainly afford him
as much consideration for honest en
deavor and honest mistakes as they
have heretofore done to other and
more distinguished statesmen.
A GIANT COMBINATION.
The endeavor of Jay Gould to divert
trade to St. Louis docs not have for
its ultimate object the furthering of
barge line transportation down the
Mississippi to the gulf. Wo have no
doubt that with St. Louis as a great
grain shipping centre the river route
will receive a tar greater share of the
public attention and also of the public
patronage than it has hitherto had.
All of Mr. Gould's movements , how
ever , warrant the conclusion that ho
i
is massing his forces and laying his
pinna with the object of obtaining the
bulk of the eastward bound grain
traflio of the west , which ho proposes
to transport over his Wabash system
to the Atlantic seaboard.
A little study of Mr. Gould's ' rccont
operations will show the strong foun
dation for such a view. A few years
ago Mr. Gould was n largo owner of
stock in the Iowa pool linos. The
Wabash road was a broken down cor
poration with its stock at the bottom
of the list , and its road bed and
equipments equal to the worst.
Withdrawing from a majority of his
other enterprises Mr. Gould throw
his energies into the reconstruction of
the Wabash system. Now extensions
wore thrown out in every
direction , minor roads necessary
to the development of his
plans wcro purchased and consoli
dated , the road itself was almost
remade , and a fine equipment took
the place of its former wretched
engines and cars. In a few months
St. Louis , Toledo , Chicago and
Omaha were connected by iron bands ,
nnd Wabash stock rose over ono hun
dred per cent , in the lists. But the
Wabash was without an outlet on the
Atlantic seaboard. The energies o f
the railroad king were now devoted
to obtaining a through eastern con
nection. The Now Jersey Central , a
magnificently , built and equipped
road running from New
York to Scranton , Pennsylvania ,
was secured by Mr. Gould with the
object of securing a connection with
Toledo , the eastern terminus of the
Wabash system.
A line is at once to bo built connect
ing those two points , and Mr. Gould
will then bo in possession of n through
route from the west to the lakes , nnd
from the lakes to the Atlantic sea
board. As the Wabash connects with
St. Louis , it became important to at
tract produce to that point. To that
end Mr. Gould obtained control of
liis southwestern system , which cen
tres at that point. His latest acqui
sition , the St. Louis bridge , gives him
full control over the readiest means
of exit eastward from that city All
these movements are interesting to
the producers of the west only BO far
as they seem to promise a cheapening
of tolls on produce. It will readily
bo aecn that Mr , Gould in his efforts
to secure traflio for hia system wilt bo
, * i tif-n * -
forced to compote not only with his
eastern rivals but also with the riter
route to the gulf. In order to obtain
the bulk of far western grain ship
ments ho will bo compelled to lay
down produce in New York at n rnto
only greater by four cents than that
at which it can bo loaded on ocean
steamers nt Now Orleans. Tin's will
mean a general reduction in grain
rates from the west , and a correspond
ing increase in the profits of western
fanners. If this happy result is at
tained , Mr. Gould in his own selfish
struggle for power and wealth will for
once have conferred a benefit on the
pcoplo whom lie has so remorselessly
plundered.
WHAT NEXT !
In view of the fact that the senate
of thd United States failed to elect a
president pro torn at its late session ,
the question is asked what would bo
the course of procedure should Pres
ident Garfield nnd vico-Prcsicont
Arthur both die or bo disabled from
'serving. In such an cmorgoncy it
would bccoino the duty of Secrotacy
Blaine to summon the senate. This
would force an immcdiato break
of the senatorial dead-lock in Now
York. The snnato being a tie
as between republicans and democrats
David Davis would bo elected presi
dent pro tctnporo of the scnato , and
ho would become acting president of
the United States until n general elec
tion could bo hold under the following
law :
"SECTION 147. Whenever the office
of president and vice-president both
become vacant , the secretary of state
shall forthwith cause a notification
thereof to bo made to the executive of
every state , and shall also cause the
same to bo published in nt least one
6t the newspapers printed in each
state.
"SEC. 148. The notification shall
specify that electors of a president
and vice president of the United States
shall be appointed or chosen in the
several states as follows : First If
there shall bo the space of two months
yet to , ensue between the date of such
notification and the first Wednesday
in December then next ensuing , such
notification shall specify that the elec
tors shall bo appointed or chosen with
in thirty-four days preceding such
first Wednesday in December. Second
end If there shall not bo the space
of two montlis between the date of
such notification and the first Wed
nesday in December , and if the term
for which the president and vice
President last in office were elected
will not expire on the third day of
March next ensuing , the notification
shall specify that the electors shall bo
appointed or chosen within thirty-
four days preceding the first Wednes
day in December in the next year en
suing. But if there shall not bo the
space of two months between the
date of such notification and the first
Wednesday in December then next
ensuing , and if the term for which
tHe president and vico-prcsidont last
to olllco wcro elected shall expire on
the third day of Mosch next ensuing ,
the notification shall not specify that
electors are to bo appointed or
chosen. "
MINNESOTA COLONIZATION.
Persons who simply read the daily
returns of. the arrivals at Castle Garden
have no idea of the number and char
acter and importance of the now coin
ers who are not known at all at the
immigrant depot. So important and
numerous arc they , however , that
some stops ought to bo taken and
persisted in , to advise them of the
character and desirability of the lands
in this state. Bishop Ireland has
boon doing n noble work for Minneso
ta , and his pamphlets and circulars
have boon of incalculable advantage.
Lot us state ono case ,
Mr. John Swootman , an Irish
landlord and capitalist , came
to this country last year ; examined
the lands of the western states , gen
erally perhaps ho failed to investi
gate the public domain in Nebraska
and the Canadas , and extended his
observations to Winnopcg , a country
that has been boasted of , but of which
some sottlois complained so bitterly
about within a year in the colmns of
The Now York Herald. Mr. Sweet-
man , perhaps because he was a Cath
olic and know Bishop Ireland , visited
Minnesota , and was so impressed with
the land in that state that ho pur
chased ono plot in Murray
county of 20,000 acres , for which
ho paid prompt uash. Ho returned to
Ireland and organized "Tho Irish-
American Land Colonization Company ,
Limited , " with a capital of 150,000 ,
giving the company his land at
cost price , and taking stock in the
company therefor. His directors in
clude It. H. Froude , of London ,
nephew to tho'famoushistorian , James
Anthony Froude , who has never
been accused of friendliness to the
Irish at homo or abroad. The com
pany was organized last March ,
and oven now they have
forty families on the property , with
corn and llax an important crop in
Minnesota , although they have not
learned how to utilize the stalk or
fibro-nnd potatoes as promising as those
of the old settlors. The now settlers
brought some of their old world cus
toms with them , for there is ono by
the name of Cosgrovo who has exca
vated his collar and placed a pi ; ; there
in. The pig is so important factor in
the "rint" question in Ireland , and so
has quarters on the first floor ; in
America the porker is not so impor
tant and so has to put up with the
collar. Mr. Sweotman's company
furnishes the now comers eighty acres
of landj a yoke of oxen and a cart ,
a cow , and the necessary household
furniture nnd supplies for immediate
use , and those in addition to n house
built for them nnd their passage paid
from Boston and Now York. For all of
thcsothey do not ndvnnco nponny , and
nro not expected to pay anything for
eighteen months , nnd then only six
per cent , interest on the land nnd
eight p'cr cent interest on the supplies ,
nnd in n year from that time , that is
twonnd a half years from the start , they
arorequircdto pay interest of 5 per cent
on the principal , nnd in easy yearly
stages within ton years they are ox-
pcctod to pay for the "houlding. " The
land is given to the now comers nt the
railroad price and the supplies nro nt
prime cost , nnd n cart that would cost
the settler 875 is furnished by the
Company nt ? 50 , because Mr. Sweet-
man gave an order at once for
sixty , nnd paid prompt cash ,
and so got them compara
tively cheap. The company does
not pretend to do anything from
motives of philanthropy ; they say that
in a few years they will bo able to sell
the alternate sections of land at
greatly enhanced prices. Mr. Sweet-
man is now at Avoca. Ho proposes
building a house at Buffalo Lake , but
so soon ns ho has his colonists in shape
for the winter ho will return to Ire
land , and of course another colony
will bo brought over in the
spring. Independent of his company
land ho owns other property in the
state , which ho is going to improve.
Recently ho visited DoGraff for the
purpose of securing blooded stock , in
tending as ho docs to raise cattle. In
addition to Mr. Sweotman thcro .aro
wealthy Irish and English gentlemen
of means settling in Avoco , and they
sensibly roll up their sleeves , although
some of them are English University
men , and are seen after the plow or
the harrow. Ono of the most impor
tant of the settlers in Avoco was
storm stayed there for several
months , and so pleased was ho with
his durance that in the
spring ho purchased four
hundred acres of land , and has built
him a house.
But Minnesota has not all the
cream of thn immigration scheme.
Mr. John A. Creighton has just re
ceived a letter from a Belgian capital
ist , who has been examining lands in
Nebraska and who has selected sixty
thousand acres of the B. & M lands ,
and ho notified Mr. Creighton , in a
letter from Montreal , that ho had ad
vised his correspondents in Europe to
remit at ohco to Mr. Creiphton the
money to pay it. Thus wo share
somewhat with Minnesota in the ad
vantage of the settlors.
Bishop O'Connor's Catholic colony
in Greoloy1 county is prosperous.
There is population for several town
ships arriving dnily in Now York , and
lot Nebraska have her share.
WE "TAKE IT BACK. "
From Yesterday's Omaha Republican.
In a rccont issue The Republican
used the following words :
"Thoy are the words of a doma-
gopuo who habitually appeals to the
bludgeon and the torch whenever a
contest in a mere local issue goes
against him. It was ho who , in the
time of the riots in Omaha , appealed
to the brute force of the mob , and
put in peril the officers of a great cor
poration and the homes of its officials ,
among the best citizens of Omaha. "
These words the editor of THE BEE
considers as applied to himself , and
asks us to take them back if there is
"n spark of manhood loft" in us. If
wo know oursolf , and wo think we
do , there is a genii of that immortal
flame left in us. Wo therefore un
qualifiedly "take it back. " Wo do
not , however , do so under compulsion.
Wo do so simply from a sense of jus
tice to Mr. Edward Rosowater.
Having disposed with Mr. Rose-
water's request , satisfactorily , wo
cannot doubt to the estima
ble editor of ono of our esteemed even
ing contemporaries wo beg leave to
quote Mr. Rosowator's version of the
affair to which reference was madoand
adopt it as our own. To this , Mr.
Rosewatcr will not , wo are sure , as ho
cannot reasonably , object. Mr. Rose-
water's vursion of the nffair , which wo
substitute for The Republican's is
this ;
Moro than ono thousand workmen
exasperated by the abuse and insults
heaped upon them by the local mono
poly papers , wore holding indignation
meetings in the streets one night in
July. The railway officials , apprehen
sive of an outbreak , had taken refuge
in their homo. The Herald was bar
ricaded and under guard of the'shoriff.
The proprietors of The Republican
wore frightened over the probable gut
ting of their concern. The whole
body of these "howling communists"
as they were termed by the monopoly
press , marched to the residence of the
editor of THE BEE and called for n
speech. A few incendiary words
would have sent that crowd down the
hill on n double-quick and nothing
could have withstood them.
But the editor of THE BEE implored
those workingmcn to go quietly to
their homes , and counselled them to
do nothing that could provoke a breach
of the pcaco or cause the destruction
of property. The crowd applauded
the speech. Within thirty minutes
they liad nil dispersed and reached
their homes. " TUo printing offices and
railway buildings were saved from
destruction.
Wo accept th6 apology now , but in
the future wo shall expect and exact
manly treatment from every contem
porary. Wo have for yean submit
ted to outrageous elandon , concocted
without a shadow of foundation , but
hereafter wo propose to hold each
libeller to a rigid responsibility. Such
vile attacks are Inexcusable and wo
don't propose to submit to them.
If anybody takes exception to the
views wo hold on any question wo
ihnll cheerfully accord them the right
to differ with w , but such differences
of opinion must not degenerate into
personal blackguardism and downright
libel.
Public Opinion * .
Bismarck ( Dak. ) Tribune.
The assassination of President Garfield -
field is the legitimate result of the
campaign made against the presi
dency by the element of the repub
lican party which believed the gov
ernment ought to bo administered in
the interest of the party bosses rather
than in the interest of the pcoplo. It
is the work of the spirit that plunged
the country into rebellion , murdered
Lincoln , nnd plunged the country into
all sorts of _ excesses under Grant's ad
ministration. It inaugurated a warfare
faro on Hayes , conspired to defeat
Blaine and Sherman , and suggcstad
the compromise which nominated
Garfield and Arthur. It is whispered
about the halls and corridors of Albany
that Garfield will die nnd then Arthur
will be president , nnd now makes the
prophecy good by murdering him.
Not that tljo murder is the result of a
conspiracy , but when men in high po
sition give their passions loose rein
some lunatic is npt to got into his
crazed brain the idea that through
murder ho can do the cause ho es
pouses service. This assassin boldly
claimed that ho was a Colliding man ,
and killed Garfield in order to make
Arthur president. But the bullet
that killed Garfield killed bossism in
American politics , or else its effects
will bo so far reaching as to destroy
the republic.
St. r ul Plonccr-Prcss.
The half crazy miscreant who com
mitted this deed of horror , struck to
kill , and rejoices at his infernal
triumph. Ho proclaims himself a
stalwart of the stalwarts ; a Conkling
nun ; and boasts that ho murdered the
president as a political necessity , to
make Arthur president nnd reunite
the republican party. Doubtless ho
is crazy , The fact is duly certified
by his antecedents. But not the
most consummate craft could have
planned a political assassination so
opportunely for the purpose of the
stalwart chiefs who are benefited by
it. The blow was struck in
the nick of time to sayo thorn
from utter overthrow. A single lifo
lay between them and fho full posses
sion of that power and patronage
which they coveted as the chiofest of
earthly goods , and for which they had
struggled with the fierce desperation
of hungry wolves ; and that lifo has
been snuffed out by murder. The
only contingency among all the com
plications of politics which could re
store to their itching palms the sovereignty
eignty wrested from them by the people
ple , the seemingly impossible , has
happened. No sane man will attrib
ute to the leaders of the party op
posed to the administration any com
plicity , direct or indirect , in this deed
of blood. Even the bitterest
would rope ! with loathing the
approach of such a suspicion.
Yob forever in the popular mind will
the block shadow of this crime steal
silently behind the party of "Mr. Conk-
ling and its leaders. If the gloomy
plant of death struck deep its roots
and drew its sustenance from the soil
of insanity , yet it was the unlimited
bitterness of partisan antagonism
which sowed the-fatal - seed. It will
servo , perhaps , to measure more ac
curately the venomous and unscrupu
lous hate of those whom the presi
dent has thwarted , to see its power to
blast , when no longer hold in
check by a mind and will capa
ble of perceiving the hideousncss
of the crime and its non-adaption to
the ends desired. The thieves whom
the president has pushed to the wall ,
and the politicians who , elevated upon
the reeking hands of others , hold up
their own to cry , "Behold , how
clean , " these are the men whoso ha
tred would follow the president to the
grave. Such thoughts , such beliefs ,
such feelings as theirs , impelling a
mind whoso delicate machinery is
jarred , drove it headlong to the work
of hell.
Kansas City Mall.
Our 'usually sober-mindod contem
porary , the Journal , raked up und in
troduced into iti editorial columns as
"a fact worthy oi comment , " an old
dispatch of April 10th , stating that
the president had received a threat
ening letter from a socialist named
Kutz , who lives in Chicago , the same
city Guitoau hails from. This prompt
effort to connect the socialists with the
crime , is the most utterly improbable
and most lonesome suggestion wo have
yet heard.
Gen. Grant , the leading stalwart ,
seizes upon the idea with amusing
eagerness , and is quoted in Sunday
morning's despatches as saying : "If
this is the outgrowth of Nihilism in
oiyr country , I am in favor of crushing
it out immediately by the prompt
execution , of the would-be
assassins and their followers , "
Wo are sorrow to see these sensitive -
tivo stalwarts so eager to hold the
socialists and the nihilists resposiblo
for the assassination of Garfield. We
no more charge Guiteau'a crime upon
the stalwarts than unon the Young
Men's Christian association. But it
must bo confessed that his connections ,
so far as traced , have boon alto
gether with the Y. M. 0. A. , with
Moody and Sankoy's revivals , and
with the stalwarts , but not at all
with the socialists or with the nihil
ists. A part of the res gostao of the
assassination , was ( iuiteau's own de
claration ; "I am a stalwart. I did
it , and Arthur is president now. " If
the stalwarts do not want to bo ac
cused , they should not bo so hasty in
accusing other parties or factions with
whom Guiteau had no connection and
has expressed no sympathy.
Chicago Tribune ;
Do what ho may , justly or un
justly , Mr , Conkling will never escape
in popular opinion a moral responsi
bility for the assassination of Presi
dent Garfield. In the first place ,
people will take the ground that had
it not been for ComJing's insulting
defiance of the president and his im
perious chum of superiority , this as-
Bassination would never have taken
place , and so-called " talwartism"
would not " have resulted in murder.
While no man may say that Conkling .
f\rf - T > t
tVf' % < * 3 * *
desired the removal of the president ,
many * ill infer it. The murder of
Thomosa Becket will revive the story
of how that assassination was sug
gested. Bcckct was archbishop of
Canterbury , and at variance with
Henry II. king of England. Knight ,
in his history of England , says :
"There is no evidence that Henry
gave hra sanction to assassination ,
but it is clear that in his passion ho
exclaimed :
"Is there ono'to deliver mo from
this turbulent priest ? " Whereupon
four stalwart knights proceeded to
Canterbury nnd murdered Beokct on
the alter where ho was officiating. It
is possible that persons may imapino
that in his baffled rage the "Primate"
may have exclaimed : "Is thcro no
man to relieve me from this man of
Ohio ) " Becket was canonized as a
martyr , and the mnn on whom fell
the odium of the murder vainly sought
to protect himself by the most nbject
humiliations. Should popular feeling
take the form of holding the faction
at Albany responsible , oven indirect
ly , for this murder , it will unques
tionably bp unjust and unwarranted ,
but that will not change the public
mind until long after the parties con
cerned shall have passed away.
Baltimore American.
| 'It was but yesterday that wo
pointed out , in the course of an edi
torial on the third-term idea , that the
heresy of secession having been
crushed out , 'the danger which now
threatens the welfare of the republic
arises from the propagation of a doc
trine which violates the spirit of our
institutions as grossly as that upon
which the confederacy rested , but in
an exactly opposite direction. The
imperialistic idea which now for near
ly n decade has been the controlling
force of ono wing of the republican
party , has not yet atnincd the form
of a distinct issue ; but it is not essen
tially different in its object from that
which culminated in the cllort to
overthrow the union. Little did wo
imagine , however , that the culmina
tion of the imperialistic movement
was to como so swiftly or take
such n tragic form. Whether , the
assassin had accomplices or not ;
whether his design was .known to
these who were to profit by his crime ,
or not the fact stands out in start
ling prominence that the murderer
was , by his own confession , inspired
with the samo- motives that have
actuated the Third-term conspirators
from the very beginning , and that ho
fired the fatal shot for the distinct
Eurposo of accomplishing their plots
y the succession of Mr. Arthur to the
presidency. Ho may be , as there is
some reason to believe , a monomaniac ;
but his monomania is identical , ex
cept as to its practical result , with
that of Conkling , and Cameron , and
Logan , and Grant. The deliberation
and care with which ho planned the
assassination ; the wisdom with which
ho chose his time and oppor
tunity : the forethought which
ho displayed in providing for his es
cape , and tho'clcvonicss with which
ho devised a system of defense sup
posing , of course , that ho is not actu
ally insane all go to show that ho
had perfect control of his faculties.
If ho was not the selected instrument
of others , it will , at least , bo admit
ted that a man bettor fitted for the
work of an assassin could not well
have been procured. Whatever may
have been the part thatithis miserable
wretch played , jt is , unhappily , but
too certain that the assassination of
President Garfield is the logical out
come of the ( third term conspiracy.
