To tht Pcnpk of the United States'
The movement to secure funds for
the erection of a monument over Gen.
James A. Garfield is being responded
to from all sections of the country ,
east , west , south and north. In order
to make it popular , it is desirable for
the citizens of all the states to imme
diately organize. The committee re
spectfully requests private banks and
bankers and postmasters to receive
contributions to this fund and remit
the same to the Second National bank
of Cleveland which has been desig
nated as the tresuror. of this fund.
Also send the names and postotllco ad

QTJITEAU-S TRIAL.
There scorns to bo no reasonable
doubt that Guttoau will bo tried and
convicted under the United States
statutes in the District of Columbia.
In his decision to bring his case be
fore the supreme court of the District
of Columbia , District Attorney Cork
hill fully recognizes the fact that the
only decision bearing on the case
holds that the court has no jurisdic
tion when the ofFence has begun in
Washington and the death hai
occurred olsowhoro. But that de
cision was rendered very early
in the century , and it is said that the
current of moro recent Authorities
in in the opposite direction. Every
where but in the District of Columbia
the old common law lias been modi-
lied , both by the decision of the
ccurts and by legislative acta , and there
are no good reasons why the uamo
constructions and modifications should
not apply to the prcnont case.
Strongly convinced that the early de
cision noted in Cranch's re-
porlfl is not an enuncia
tion of that law as il now
oxista , District \ttornoy Cork'hill
lias determined to take the risk of
bringing ( Juitcau to trial in Washing
ton , especially as ho doubts his power
to order his removal to Now Jersey.
The case will bo tried before Juclgo
Cox , who is said to bo the most ac
complished jurist on the l * cal bench.
The trial promises to bo battle be
tween the lawyers. With the case
once committed to the jury , the re
sult would not for a moment bo doubt
ful , but long weeks of legal discussion
and quibbling on technicalities is
likely to draw out the cose to
an. unusual length , and delay
the final enforcement of the law's ' pen
alty upon the criminal. The first
point which will bo raised by the
counsel for the defense will bo ono of
jurisdiction. It will bn claimed un
der the statute , and following the
tenor of the decision reported by
Crunch , that the supreme court of the
DisUict cannot legally sit in judgment
upon the assassin. If Guitou is releas
ed on this pleBj.tiio question .will then
j raised and discujsed whether ho can
again bo put in jeopardy of his lifo
District Attorney Corkhill says that
10 has no fears that an opportunity
will bo afforded for raising this quoa-
) ion , believing , as ho does , that the
court will ignore its decision of nearly
i century agonnd conform to the later
decisions and conttruction of the com
mon law.
Meanwhile Guiteau is receiving
do/ens . 'of letters from attorneys who
desire to rnako themselves famous by
conducting his dofonao. Ho expresses
a preference for his brother-in-law ,
Scovillo , of Chicago , who is fully con
vinced of his insanity , and who , it is
thought , would make an earnest de
fense of the assassin in order to save
the family from disgrace.

IF'Davia Davis can bo induced | to
rosinhis ; seat in the senate forr& cab'
inot position , , it will bo a good stroke
of policy for President Arthur tojinako
him attorney-general a position for
which Sonater Davis is eminently
qualified. Such nn exchange would
be advantageous ' 'both to the ad
ministration and'tho republican party
in giving the republicans a clear ma
jority in the senate.
Nobody can bring about the consu-
mation of such an arrangement more
successfully than Boscoo Conkling
who , strange as it may seem ,
wnilds Creator influence over
David Davis than any other public
man. The proposed arrangement may
not fully accord with stalwart policy ,
but it would not bo the first time in
our history that a president has called
into his cabinet a member of a differ
ent political creed. President Lincoln ,
it will bo remembered , at a most criti
cal time in our history appointed -
win.31. Stanton , a democrat who had
boon a .member of James Buchanan's
.
cabinet , as his secretary of war , and it
is doubtful whether any republican
could have filled the place
as creditably as the great war secrota
ry. More recently President Hayes
made an attempt to conciliate the
south by appointing an ox-confodorato
democrat as postmaster-general , and
while Judge Key did not signalize
himself in the postofllco department ,
his political influence has been bene
ficial to the republican party in de
stroying sectional prejudice. David
Davis entertains some very odd
notions about currency and finance ,
but in the main ho is as sound to-day
as when Abraham Lincoln appointed
him to the supreme bench. His
views on the danger that threatens
the country from the aggression of
corporate monopolies are in accord
with the views hold by clear headed
republican statesmen like George F.
Edmunds and William Windom.

Dut thaovil genius of the party uudcr
the inspiration and through the ma
chinations of the railway wreckers ,
still persistently courts disaster by
ignoring the lessons of the past nnd
again forces this jawhawkcr politician
to the front as a leader. Under our
fraudulent system of primaries no
body could probably have kept Has
call out of the convention without
hiring a gang of shoulder hitters , re
peaters and ballot box stuflors. But
common decency and a reasonable regard
gard for the known and oxprosacd
feelings of a great majority of the re
publicans of this county would have
dictated that this man Hascall should
bo kept in the background.
Not so however Hascall was lionized
and honored above nil other man in
the convention , Ho was chosen delegate -
gate to the state convention , made
chairman of the county ccntml com
mittee and if there had boon any oth
er honors at the disposal of the con
vention they would doubtlcas have
been heaped upon him.
This triumph was brought about by
the nctivo aid of Senator Saundors'
fool friends , who imagine that ] their
now ally is bound firmly by the em
ployment of his son-in-law , in the
Omam ] post-ofllco , will bo of great
service to them in the senatorial fight
next year. Wo venture to predict
that they have only invested in a mill
stone to drag Alvin Saunders down to
, ho bottom of the political dead sea.
Tan county ticket nominated by
; ho republicans Saturday , is in the
nain , much bettor than was to have
joon expected from the mako-up of
; ho convention. The candidates ,
without exception are respectable and
competent. About thofr individual
merit wo propose to speak at some
ongth at an early day.
Wo cannot refrain however , Jrom
expressing regret at the renomination
of Commissioner Knight for a fourth
term. Public safety demands occasional
changes in the board of county com-
'
mitsionors. Mr. Knight has hold the
position nine years , and wo are sur
prised that ho asks the republicans of
: his county to run the risk of defeat
ay another nomination. Even if the
] oard of commissioners was not a
close corporation it is asking too much
to elect him for throe years longer.
On the whole the republicans of
Douglas ought to bo thankful that the
convention did no worse. In the very
nature of things in view of the pro
nounced oflort of the convention to
nominate nobody for any position of
prominence who is in sympathy with
the views wo hold in common with
the great mass of the party and with
people of all parties , it is not to bo
expected that wo should give an un
qualified endorsement to its work.
There are still six weeks from now
until election day and every voter in
Douglas county will have ample time
to acquaint himself personally with
the record and pedigree of each can
didate , and wo shall endeavor to en
lighten them , as far as lies in our
power , candidly and fearlessly concerning -
corning the duty they will bo called
on to discharge on the 8th of Novem
ber. All things being equal we shall
urge them to give the republican
ticket proforonco.
IN the death of Dr. Gilbert 0.
Monoll our city loses ono of its oldest
and mostculturodo itizons. Before ho
ceased practicing as a physician Dr.
Monoll was known as the ablest of his
profession in the territory. To a
mind of great breadth ho 'united a
eulturo rare in a man of professional
acquirements. His library ( was one
of the largest and most carefully
selected in the state , embracing ovary
class of literature. Dr. Monoll was a
strong thinker and a ready and pun
gent writer. His views on political
and economical questions wore the re
sult pf study and reflection , and his
.conversation bore witness to an ac
quaintance with the best writers in
literature , science and art. - > '
THE attitude of David Davis on the
question of the coming reorganization
of the senate is naturally a topic of
great intoroat tq politicians. After
the swearing in of the throe now re
publican senators the republicans ,
with Mr. Davis' vote , will have a
clean majority of ono. The opinion
is current that if Senator Davis an
nounces his decision to vote with the
republicans , the democrats will refuse
to take advantage of their temporary
power and will permit a republican
reorganization at the outset.
SENATOK HAIILAN has declined the
nomination of the republicans of
Henry county , Iowa , for the state
senate. Mr. Harlan was nominated
while absent in Colorado , and declines
the nomination on the ground that ho
failed to BOO any necessity for the use
of his name , This refusal of Senator
Harlan will bo a disappointment to
many who were prepared to hail with
satisfaction the return to active public
lifo of a man of varied political experience
rionco and unquestioned ability and
honesty. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

At the breaking out of the war Mr.
Garfield , then president of Hiram col
lege , repaired to Camp Chnnc , near
Columbus , 0. , for the purpose of rais
ing a rcgimont of which ho was to
hold a colonel's commission. Ho re
mained at Camp Chose from Septem
ber 25th until December Llth , 1801.
Early in September Colonel
Oarficld sent in his petition tc
Magnolia Lodge No. 20 at Colum
bus to be received into the Masonic
ordor. On .November 22 ho was in
itiated aa an entered apprentice , and
on December 3 , 1801 , passed to the
decree of a Follow craft in the same
lodge. The sudden receipt of orders
to move to the front prevented Jiro.
Garfield from completing his advance
ment in the Blue Ledge , and it was
not until November 22 , 1804 , after
his return from his first session in
congress , that ho was raised to the
sublime degree of a Master Mason in
Columbus Lodge Do. 30 at the re
quest of Magnolia Lodgo. In the
following year I3ro. Garfield make ap
plication for afiJiation with lodge No.
240 at Garrottsvillo , a little town near
Hiram , and on Oct. 10 , 1805 was
elected a member of the lodge. On
December 8 , 18G8 , ho was elected
chaplain and re-elected on December
14th of the following year. There is
no record of his being present at
meetings subsequent to that time and
1870 , when ho transferred his mem
bership to Pentalpha Ledge No. 23 at
"Washington. Bro. Gartield was also
a companion of the chapter
and a Knight Templar , hia af
filiation . at the time of his
death being with Columbia Command-
ery No. 2 , of Washington. Ho was

the Templar drill and escort , the
point and brevity of the speeches and
the smoothness with which all the details -

KNIGHTLY PYTHIANS.
The endowment rank is meeting
with merited success throughout the
United States , and now sections are
constantly being reported. In addi
tion to its death benefit , it embodies
the system of watching with the sick ,
burying the deadj protecting their
widows and educating the orphan.
H. 0. Berry , P. S. C. , gives the
opinion that the uniformed rank is not
subject to State jurisdiction , but if
charges are preferred against it , they
must i/o the supreme officials. ,
The Knight says "That a good deal
of good might be done if the Grand
Officers would look over the list and
visit some of the weak and declining
Lodges. "
Nevada , with its ton lodges , is do
ing very well. It increased 107 dur
ing the year , and has about 89,500 in
