MAKING A FLEA FUR GUITEAU.
The Kansas City Times gravely argues the
point that the bungling treatment of Mr. Gar-
field's wound by his surgeons would not relieve
Guiteau of the murder count in the indictment
in the event of the President's death, and cites
the plea of Edward Stokes in his defense for the
murder of Jaines Fisk. Stokes's plea was that
probing and unskillful treatment of the wound
killed Fisk, and not the wound itself. In the
President's case the surgeons give daily testi-
mony that the wound is all right, that it
is being skillfully treated, and that the
patient's danger arises from natural causes,
such as dyspepsia and the like. Sup-
pose that they should succeed in
establishing this remarkable theory, would
the Times hang Guitean on testimony going to
prove that the President died from natural
causes, and not from the wound, or from disease
necessarily incident to the wound? If Guiteau
goes to trial he must be tried by the law and
the testimony, and it is presumed that jurors
will regard their oaths whether Guiteau be
hanged or not. On general principles the assas-
sin should not be allowed to live, but justice it-
self may become outrage and in a sense murder
when wrenched from recognized maxims and
established usages of law. When public opin-
ion sets up a new law and new rules of evi-
dence to govern particular cases of ag-
gravated homicide, public opinion, indorses
and encourages a system of punishment
known only to the code of Judge Lynch, and
should not complain at the results of its teach-
ing. The surgeons certainly took the ground
that the last relapse of the patient was owing
to natural causes, and it was given out that
" chronic dyspepsia," and not the wound, or
mistaken treatment of the wound, caused the
vomiting and high fever that came so near
carrying him off. Thus they made a plea for
the accused that could only have been over-
come by professional stultification, if the
President had died. The surgeons may have
erred in a perfectly Datural effort to escape
public censure, but their testimony would
have been the best and most potent in the case
all the same.
THE CONGRESS AT COLOGNE.
The Association for the Reform and Codifi
cation oflnternational Law, announced as hold-
ing its eleventh session.this month,from the 15th
to the 19th, in the city of Cologne,comprises rep-
resentatives from all the principal countries of
Europe, and even Asia, nor is America with-
out able representatives—even among the
number of vice-presidents who surround the
distinguished chairman, Lord O'Hagan. The
association is not one of lawyers merely,
and does not claim to be of a strictly scientific
character, like the French Institute of
International Law. It is, on the contrary, a
gathering of men of various callings and men
of leisure, who feel guided by philanthropic
instincts to meet and discuss the evils of the
present barbarous condition of affairs between
nations springing from the absence or defec-
tive character of international law in cases
where it is much needed. Many in all coun-
tries are ready to echo Abraham Lincoln's
question: "Why do not nations establish an in-
ternational court to arbitrate differences and
avoid war? This is the dream of philanthropic
jurists, and though pronounced visionary by
zealous incumbents of power and by the
many observers, who, it will be noticed,
have never any strong faith in progress till it
is accomplished and demonstrated, the ideal
has already had its effect upon the real, and
there is a growing feeling of assurance that
such meetings and talks and publications as
this association promotes will, by and by, work
a wondrous unanimity of conviction, at least
among self-governing peoples, that will at
some future day render war almost impossible,
and that in the meantime will accomplish
much useful co-operation, in matters fall-
ing short of a high commission, for
the peace of nations. For example,
patents, shareholders' rights, exchange, copy-
right, extradition—these are all subjects of
much importance, and so is the status of trad-
ing vessels in time of war. The Antwerp
meeting resulted in some proposed regulations
for the guidance of merchant shipping that
have been generally adopted. Another tri-
umph for the association is seen in the fact
that its outline of an international railroad
law for the continent, sketched a year ago, has
brought forth fruit; inasmuch as the govern-
ments of Germany, Holland, France, Belgium,
Austro-Hungary, Switzerland, Italy and
Russia have agreed to send representa-
tives to a conference at Berne, next
month, to seek an agreement to
which those various governments could
agree to give legal effect. The association
has thus done some known good. It is believed
to be capable of accomplishing still more.
Patient endeavor in discussing the facts and
causes of obstacles to international peace and
good will can not wholly fail, now that free
discussion, enlightened self-interest, and a
just and wholesome regard for the common
interests of civilization are shown to be great
powers in the battle of progress. The associa-
tion will find, with each succeeding annual
meeting, that public sympathy with its labors,
as well as faith in their valuable influence, is
increasing; that merchants who think of trade
and the custom-houses and multiplied denom-
inations of money; travelers who think of
passports, delays and vexation, and stay-at-
home people who have at heart the cause of
peace and justice and humanity, will all look
■with interest for the reports of the discussions
of this, the veritable peace society.
DUST EXPLOSIONS.
can be used to prevent such disasters. Dust
accumulations should be prevented by flues
with suction draft to carry the dust to "one
place and out of the mill. Other mtai)s will
undoubtedly be discovered in time; but do not
let it be too long, lest each innocent-looking
mill be but little better than a magazine of
gunpowder.
The explosions in mills and other places
Where dust accumulates are becoming more
frequent, and engage the attention of some of
the most notable scientific men of tbe time.
They occur as suddenly as the explosion of a
powder-mill, and are fully as destructive, caus-
ing loss'of life and great destruction of prop-
erty. The development of farce in these ex-
plosions is astonishing, and although ap-
parently accounted for by scientific men in
the admixture of dust and air, it seems as
though there must be other causes in connec-
tion with that already given. In all mills
for grinding grain into flour there has
been dust from time immemorial, and it has
been mixed with air, and there has; always
been ample opportunity for fire to come in con-
tact therewith. In the winter season, in the
cold climates, stoves have been used ever since
their invention, and yet no explosions have
occurred until within a comparatively recent
period. There must be some new cause that
has come into play. Possibly there lis an un-
due amount of electricity developed by the
friction of belts, which are now largely made
of rubber, whereas formerly only leather was
used. This is only theory, many will say, and
so it is conceded; but the attention
of scientific men is hereby called to this
idea with the hope that it may
lead to investigation and experiment by
those who are best situated and best qualified
to make the tests. Electricity is now found to
be developed in unexpected sources, and this
may be one of them. If so, we can readily
understand the intense power that could be de-
veloped by the passage of the electric current.
Whatever may be the cause, it is of the great-
est importance that renewed investigation be
carried on, and the exact conditions arrived at
coj-iorning this matter; then the proper means
"PLATING" AND "MIXING" COTTON.
Under this heading an important communi-
cation from New York will be found in an-
other column. It will be seen that the writer
is a Texan, and that he writes to warn Texas
cotton-producers against practices which, if
persisted in, must inevitably cost them heavily.
It is to be hoped that the " plating " and " mix-
11 complained of are attributable to haste
and carelessness alone in ginning and packing,
and that all suspicion of intentional frauds in
putting up the cotton is entirely erroneous;
but the effect is the same in either case,
and the loss must at last fall upon the
producer. Texas cottons rightfully grade
as New Orleans, and being so graded
command a higher price than uplands, but
the facts stated by the' correspondent justify
the dealers in giving it a lower status. Thus a
serious discount is made, and the planter loses
the difference. Whether few or many prac-
tice this carelessness, the evil falls upon all,
and the careful ginner and packer suffers just
as much as those who are really to blame in
the sale of the cotton. The fact that it is
Texas cotton fixes its grade and its pi-ice, and
if, as threatened, it be graded as uplands, it
will bring no higher price than up-
lands. In the New York and Liver-
pool markets middling Orleans cottons
are usually quoted J^c. to %c. higher than
middling uplands. It is supposed that Texas
will this year run up her crop to 1,300,000. If
this cotton is graded as uplands, and the price
be only ^d. less than New Orleans, the loss
would be $1 25 per bale, or $1,(125,000 on the
crop. It is a mistake to suppose that there is
more money in indiscriminate push for a great
quantity than in care and watchfulness at the
gin and screw with a view to good quality.
The carlessness, or fraud, or deception is
bound to be found out, and it is as easy to
trace it back to the packer as to trace a lost
inclosure in the money order department of
the mails, and reclamation can be enforced
through the courts. Thus the indi-
vidual packer not only loses his good
name and the cost of his folly, but he brings
odium upon his neighbors, and subjects many
planters in the State-to suspicion and loss.
This is a question in which every cotton pro-
ducer in Texas is deeply interested, and the
utmost vigilance should be observed in putting
up the present crop, that the taint be re-
moved, and that Texas cottons be assured of
the high grade and the excellent repute
which they ought to enjoy.
STATE PBESS.
What the Interior Paper* Say.
The Guadalupe Times tells its voting readers
to vote for Austin for the ma in part of the
University, and—
For Galveston for the medical department, be-
cause Austin does not want it, knowing that Gal-
veston is the place for it, because If located at
Austin it can not be made self-sustaining, but the
pe. pie of the State would have to be taxed to
keep it up. At Galveston the medical school
would be self-sustaining. At Austin nearly every
man, woman and child would be a "lobby "
to influence the Legislature to tax the people
of the State to put money in this department,
for Austin would reap the benefit of all money ex-
pended there of course. At Austin the innocent
pupils of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylums,
and the helpless lunatics would be utilized when
dead. Th'i State does not, nor will it furnish a
guard for the public cemetery, and we repeat that
i a deaf and dumb or blind child or lunatic dies in
Austin and "stiffs " are scarce, as they will be with
a medical school of any size there, the body snateh-
ers will rob the graves. If not these unfortunates
the colored people must be carved. How would
our colored friends fancy having their dearest
friends snatched from hallowed graves and cut up,
a isolutely cut up as we do a hog to make sausa e?
The San Antonio seer is still wrestling with the
stars for better weather, but somewhat despon-
dently says in the Express:
We can submit to lo-ses in tobacco, because that
is not edibW. But what shall we say if the potato
crop becom a failure? What will take its place
on the tables of the poor?
Texans will have to content themselves with
bread, beef and such vegetables aud o iher ar-
ticles as they can obtain, but it will be hard to
answer the conundrum for the people of the
Emerald Isle. The question, however, appears
to be purely hypothetical. There doe3 not
seem to be any particular cause to expect a
failure of the potato crop, and, besides, a full
crop is not needed, as
" The world to an end shall come
In 1881."
The Palestine News is about to deliver a se-
ries of lectures on social questions. It says:
Throughout ail the ramifications of society there
is a spirit o unrest. People are not happy. * *
Men and women are admonished to halt in some
directions, and advance in another.
In another place the News says:
The practice of using snuff is on the increase
among the rentier sex, and is truly a sad spectacle
to behold.
This is probably one of the directions in
which the gentler sex is admonished to halt,
and they certain iy should do so, for there is no
more disgusting or unhealthy practice than
snuff-dipping.
They do not put tricks on travelers about the
hospitable town of Gonzales. The rule works
the other way. The Inquirer says:
Last Monday Mr. Jim Bissett borrowed a horse
from Mr. Heskew, and rode to the iron bridge,
about a mile below town. Here he and the keeper,
Mr. Buck Jones,, a young man, and others went in
swimming. A negro man came down afoot, plead-
ed he was broke, and asked permission to cross.
He was allowed to do so. After chatting awhile
with the parties be left, taking with him Jim's
liorse and about $11 out of Buck's pockets. Bis-
satt and DeWitt were deputised to go after him,
but failed to find him.
The colored traveler generously left the
clothes of the bathers.
The Fort Worth News varies the monotony of
its police reports with the cattle incident de-
scribed below:
Mr. Reagan got drunk and was lodged in the
boose, finishing the payment of his fine last night.
He was in the mayor's court this morning, claim-
ing that he had a ring when incarcerated which
had not been returned to him. He was loud in his
denunciation of the force, and said that he could
clean up any five of them at once. He asked His
Honor for permission to clean up Policeman
Thomas, and Mayor Brown, thinking him
in fun, said: "Sail in;" and, peel-
ing off his coat, he did " sail in," bringing Thomas
a terrific blow on the cheek. The officer was
astounded and made for Reagan, but was re-
strained by the officers present. Reagan left, got
drunk and boasted that he had hit Policeman
Thomas and that Thomas had taken it. Tbe officer
met Reagan in Perry Brown's, and. as he was still
gasconading, told him to be quiet, when Reagan
began a tirade of abuse, at which Thomas picked
up a piece of stove wood and laid his antagonist
out.
As the subsequent proceedings, if any, are
not reported in the News, they may possibly
be found in the New York Ledger, to which
readers are referred for the sequel to so many
interesting stories.
The Texarkana News takes a tilt at the idea
that the university and the State capital are
like Mr. Webster's "Union, now and forever,
one and inseparable," and refers to the exam-
ple of other States in such matters:
In Arkansas the university is at Fayetteville, the
capital at Little Rock. In Virginia the university
is at Charlottesville instead of Richmond; in Mis-
sissippi at Oxford instead of Jackson; in Alabama
at Tuscaloosa instead of Montgomery, in North
Carolina at Chapel Hill instead of at Raleigh; in
Tennessee at Knoxville in place of Nashville, etc.
In Alabama the capital was at Tuscaloosa when
the university was located, and the effect was so
detrimental to the students that the institution was
a failure ami about to be closed, when the capital
was transferred to Montgomery.
The example of Pennsylvania and othor old
states might be added.
The Rockdale (Milam county) Messenger
says:
The general sentiment of the Milam county
people, in fact those with whom we have conversed,
and they are many, on the university question, is:
For the university proper, Austin; for the medical
department, Galveston.
The Corsicana Independent makes this
set-off:
Now that Governor Robarts has passed through
a perfect tornado of abuse for not ordering the
people of Texas down on their knees at the bidding
of an Ohio political huckster, and still the " old
man lives " and is as impenitent as ever, we pro-
pose to show just \i_hat kind of a man this Presi-
dent Garfield is, for whom the " unco guid, the
pious and sae holy," are so anxious to pray
back to life, and thank God for his restora-
tion. In a speech delivered in Congress
on June 22, 1874, James A Garfield said: *' The di-
vorce between Church and State ought to be abso-
lute. It ought to be so absolute that no church
property anywhere, in any State or the Nation,
should be exempt from equal taxation, for if you
exempt the property of any church organization,
to that extent you impose a church tax upon the
whole community."
Verily, the end approaches. " There shall
come in the last days scoffers," and they have
come. The Dallas Gazette says, with obvious
irony:
The Galveston News vindicates the character of
Uncle Daniel McGary, of the Houston Age, and
avows that he is the most pious editor in the State
—and that is saying a great deal for him.
And the Navasota Tablet says:
Nat. Q. Henderson, of the Record, is to lead the
Georgetown congregation in prayer. Shades of
John Wesley 1 We will wager that Nat. hasn't
offered up an appeal to the New Jerusalem in the
last decade.
Some one will next assail the pious editor of
the great religious weekly of the West, the
Castroville Quill. Human persecutors, slan-
derers and back-biters are as thick as fleas and
tenacious as ticks.
One of a Cincinnati judge's reasons for re-
fusing to grant a divorce to a man was that he
had taken his wife " from the domestic circle
and launched her into the midst of iniquities
which surround the path of a comely and
youthful female in a business life requiring
travel and frequent contact with worldly peo-
ple." In other words, he had sent her out as a
book agent.
A young lady of the age of seven, who is de-
servedly a pet of her household, but a little
exacting and given to bemoan herself as being
rather neglected and " sat upon " in her family
circle than otherwise, said the other day:
" Nobody ever cared for me for even when I
wao born my mother and all my sisters were
away at the seaside,"
„ 11 1 —
The Evil of "Plating" and "Mixing"
Cotton.
ITo The News.1
New York, August 16, 1881.—I see
you publish an extract from the ad-
dress of Mr. Atkinson to the cotton planters
at Memphis. This should have the attention of
every planter, and it suggests another master
which should be brought to the notice of every
one in Texas interested in the culture or mar-
keting of cotton. There is great complaint,
becoming louder every year, that the careless
and sometimes criminal manner in which
Texas cotton is often baled, is entailing
severe loss on the buyers, the spinners,
and eventually on the producers.
This complaint is caused by fraudulent plating
by careless or rascally mixing, (generally the
former) by the presence of gin-tags in cotton,
and by the short-sighted, but almost universal,
practice of packing on thi
lie top of the bale the
few pounds of dirty cotton which fall nearest
the flue. One can see at a glance where the
result of "plating" is a loss, and it is only
necessary to speak of the irregularities.
"Mixes" are most often the result of carelessness
on the part of the giuner either in putting up
the customer's bales, or in an indiscriminate
ginning and packing of his " toll" cotton, and
their frequency has become a serious draw back
to the value of Texas cottons, as compared
with those from the older states. I knew one
large mill which has for years spun Texas and
Arkansas cotton, but bought its whole supply
last season from Georgia. More careful culti-
vation and the liberal use of fertilizers have
greatly improved the staple of cotton
from Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina
and South Carolina, and some mills
that are most particular about sta-
ple are using freely of upland cotton, be-
cause of the smallness of loss from mixed
bales. I know of another mill where the
" gin tags" from a lot of Texas cotton were
weighed and found to average five and a half
pounds to the bale, or more than 1 per cent, of
the consumption. The treasurer looks upon
this loss as so much to come off his dividends,
and is buying his supplies in other States.
Another serious loss to the buyer is in having
his cotton classed dovvu in a strict mar-
ket like New York or New Orleans, because
of a few pounds of lower grade put in
on top of the bales. As you know, cotton in
the markets named is sampled on both sides
and graded by the lowest cotton in those sam-
ples. These evils must be remedied by cus-
tom, by strict rules and close supervision and
by legislation if necessary, and the cotton
trade in Texas will look to .The News to agi-
tate the matter until there is great improve-
ment. The writer is |i Texan and a cotton
buyer, which must be his excuse for address-
you about the matter. J. m.

Days of Peril to Liberty.
(.From the New York World.!
The publication offices of the World have
been transferred to temporary quarters iu the
new building erected to accommodate and soon
to be occupied by the business of this journal
in ill its departments, at Nos. 31 and 32 Park
row. This new building will undoubtedly be
the most commodious of its sort in the coun-
try. But we can not leave the offices in which
for twenty years the World has been pub-
lished without recalling to our readers one in-
cident in the history of this journal which will
make those offices memorable in the annals of
the country as the scene of the most
flagrant outrage on the rights of
property and on the liberty of the
press ever perpetrated by the authority
of an American Administration. On the
morning of May 19, 1SI54, the World, the Jour-
nal of Commerce and other newspapers, just
as they were going to press, were hoaxed by an
unscrupulous forger into publishing an alleged
proclamation of President Lincoln. The fttrged
proclamation was written out on the regular
"flimsy" paper of the Associated Press, and as
it was concocted by a person then connected
with a leading Republican journal it was
so manipulated as apparently to come
through the regular channels of news. The
story of this seizure by Major-General
Dix, then commanding this department, as
sworn to in the course of the criminal proceed-
ings immediately begun agamst that officer at
the instance of Governor Seymour (who about
the same time authorized similar proceedings
to be taken against Marshal Murray for the
kidnapping of Arguelles), reads now like a
chapter from Russian rather than from
American history. The evening clerk in the
publication offices of the World testified
that about 9 p. m. he heard a sound of soldiers
marching at the corner of Beekman street
and Park row. After this he heard the word
" Halt !" in a tone of loud command, and look-
ing up saw three armed sentinels standing at
the three doors of the offices and Lieutenant
Tuthill coming toward the desk. The lieuten-
ant said to him, " If you wish to go cut you
may; but you can not return if you leave, and
you must not receive any advertisements nor
transact any business." The clerk declined to
abandon his post. Two hours later, by a new
order, he was thrust out of the office, but he
remained outside loyally watching the prop-
erty. Toward midnight a relieving clerk, now
in the employment of the World, who was
ignorant of what had happened, came to the
office to attend to his duties. On attempting
to enter as usual he was stopped by the sentinel,
who placeed a pistol at his breast and forbade
him to proceed. The military remained in full
possession of the property during the night.
At 4 a. m. the carriers and dealers came for
their papers. Lieutenant Tuthill asked one of
them what he wanted. Said the carrier: " 1
want my ticket for newspapers in the press-
room. Lieutenant Tuthill, aiming a revolver
at the carrier, insolently exclaimed: "You
can havo a ticket out of this." Meanwhile
this same lieutenant had marched a
dozen other soldiers up stairs into the edito-
rial, news and composing departments,
and had taken comDlete possession of
the premises. The military continued in con-
trol of the World building for two days, dur-
ing which time the paper was temporarily
suppressed. About the same time with the in-
vasion of the World building Captain Bar-
stow, of General Dix's staff, with a squad of
armed men visited the office of the Journal
of Commerce, and there exhibited this
order: "You are hereby authorized to arrest
William C. Prime, David M. Stone, William
H. Hallock and David A. Hale, and
convey them to Fort Lafayette.—John A.
Dix." Mr. Hallock alone was present. He
was at once arrested. At the same time his
offices were seized and the preparations for the
morning issue forcibly stopped. Mr. Hallock
was not allowed even to print the current ad-
vertisements, as he asked to be permitted to
do, without news or reading matter. On the
following day the order of arrest was re-
scinded, but the Journal of Commerce, like
the World, was prevented by military force
from issuing two successive numbers. This is
the story, as narrated in 1804 under oath by
eye-witnesses, of a transaction from which
Americans of the present generation may take
a much-needed lesson as to the vital connec-
tion between liberty and law.
A Rhenish regiment of artillery, quartered
at Metz, left that city on June 1 for exercise in
field maneuvers, and returned to its barracks
on July 9. Upon opening one of the rooms
which had been locked up while the regiment
was absent, the quartermaster found a dog be-
longing to the men lying on the floor, still
alive, but almost dead. During the thirty-
nine days the poor creature had been without
food or water, and must have been living upon
its own tissues—to use the terminology of the
Tannerian philosophy. When found, the dog
was so weak that it could not even lap milk,
and for two days was fed through a tube. It
survived, however, and within ten days was as
well as ever.

interment at Hempstead. It will be remem-
bered that Colonel Kirby died a year ago last
June of fever, after sickness of several weeks,
while out on a prospecting tour with J.
W. Sayles. Thoughts of noble traits of
character and the true manliness ot the
deceased will ever be cherished by
all who knew him. Colonel Kirby was kind,
generous and manly, and lived a christian life,
and won the friendship of all who inotJaim.
All of his acts of life were calmly and thorough-
ly considered. Even the rough aud hardy
miner who by chance saw him on hiB deathbed,
had a kind word of cheer for him, as his kind
expressions and gentle manner won the affec-
tions of all who met him. He died far away
from relatives aud in a wild and rough country,
without the luxuries provided by a mother's
or a sister's hand. Yet he had all the necessaries
and such comforts as the camp afforded, and
was ever watched over from his "first hour's
sickness until his last by a friend of yore.
Thus a life full of hope, with a bright future,
was cut short. At the time of his death Aspen
was linked only with the civilized world by a
jack trail, hence the remains had to be placed
beneath the pebbles of this stony, icy land.
Recently a wagon road has been built to
Aspen, over which the remains can now be
conveyed. s. W. J.
Mr. T. Atkinson, Lynchburg, Va., says :
Having heen a periodical sufferer from rheuma-
tism for many years, and having tried many
different remedies, at last I resorted to St.
Jacobs Oil, and found relief and benefit by the
first application.
when the first world's fair was held in Lon-
don, in 1851, the London Times spoke of Mr.
Greeley as " Horace Gruby." Now it pub-
lishes a leader on "Horace Conkline, late Sen-
ator from New York." The information
given by such a well-posted writer must be
of immense value to the readers of the Times.
A safe and sure means of restoring the youthful
color of the hair is furnished by Parker's Hair Bal-
sam, which is deservedly popular from Its superior
cleanliness.

IMPROVED LITTLK GIANT Hi-
ll It A I LK! COTTON PRESS-The above
press is a simple, durable mid most powerful press,
and meets a want long felt for a quick, powerful
press that will work fast and with great power,
yet not too expensive.
It is well known that the principle of hydraulic
pressure is one of the most powerful known to'me-
chanics. The difficulty has been to simplify it,
and make it low-priced enough for ordinary use.
This we have accomplished, and we offer a press
that will pack a 500-pound bale in five minutes
time with two men, and in one minute »3 ready for
the next bale. We make them also for power, to
run by same engine that runs gin without inter-
fering with the gin. This press was awarded the
Graiid Gold Medal oi'UIerlt at State fairs of
Georgia and North Carolina, and first premium
wherever exhibited. Send for circular and price
