The Execution of Guiteau.— By the 
stern decree of justice, not bv mob violence, 
Guiteauon Friday last ex plated the great crime 
which he committed one year ago. It is a 
life for a life but how despicably insignificant 
the one now taken «b compared with the one 
sacrificed a twelvemonth since! Garfield, 
the Nation’s President, a Christian statesman of 
acknowledged ability and scholarly attain¬ 
ment; Guiteau, a malignant, inhuman, ignomi¬ 
nious wretch. There i9 a sense of incongruity 
between the insignificance of the actor and the 
consequences of the act that is quite incom¬ 
prehensible, and though the demands of the 
law are now sat isfied it seems hut a poor ex¬ 
piation for the crime which removed a nation’s 
chief and plunged a nation into mourning. 
At about noon on Friday the 30th ultimo, 
Warden Crocker read the death war¬ 
rant to Guiteau, but the latter made no 
comment on it. When bisarms were pinioned 
a slight quiver passed over his frame aud he 
nerved himself for the final struggle. The pro¬ 
cession to the gallows from the condemned 
man’s cell started at 12.35 f. m . When 
Guiteau reached the steps to the gallows’ 
platform he paused a moment and gazed 
calmly at the spectators. He did not falter 
on his march; his step was firm. Arriving on 
the scaffold Guiteau spoke a few words to Rev. 
Mr. Hicks his spiritual adviser who replied 
in a low tone. The soape^ noose was then 
placed about the neck, the black cap drawn 
over i he eyes aud the feet bound. He seemed 
to be in a dream as if unconscious of his fate- 
Rev. Mr. Hicks offered prayer, after which 
the Warden gave the fatal signal; the drop 
swung back aud the body fell fullv five feet, 
breaking the prisoner’s neck instantly. The 
body was delivered to Rev. Mr. Hicks and a 
post-mortem examination made. Guiteau 
made no speech on the scaffold, but left his 
• • last words” in writing at his cell. There was 
no “ scene ’’ at the gallows as some expected, 
and but few witnessed the execution. Such is 
the end 1 
Strikes in this City,— For several days 
past the workmen formerly employed at the 
various railroad frti ht depots, and at the 
vessel wharves iu this city and Jersey City 
have been on a strike, and now the question 
seems to be simply one of endurance to see 
which shall bold out Ibe longer—the laborers 
or employers. The men had been working 
for 17 cents an hour and demanded 20, which 
the employers refused. The strikers have 
conducted themselves thus f^r very peacea¬ 
bly and are resting iu the belief that their de¬ 
mands are just. Already much inconvenience 
to shipping has resulted to city merchants as 
well as to those who ship produce of all kinds 
to the city markets. Perishable freight has 
suffered very much and the loss on it will be 
considerable. Some of the railroad compan¬ 
ies have employed immigrant help to assist 
them over the difficulty, and by this means 
some freight has been moved, but yet at pres¬ 
ent writing the majority of the depots are 
glutted with goods of all descriptions. The 
inconvenience along the line of the railroads 
in getting sufficient goods to supply the wants 
of the country people is very great, and the 
store keepers have to limit their supply to in¬ 
dividual customers, as they do not wish to 
Have goods sent by express if it can be avoided, 
on account of cost. 
The majority for the Prohibitory Liquor 
law amendment in the State of Iowa is esti¬ 
mated at 40,000. The temperance State 
Committee claims a majority of 00,000. All 
the large cities in the State, except Des 
Moines, gave strong majoiities against it. 
Immigration into Dakota is not as great 
the present month as the preceding one, but 
persons interested in the prosperity of the 
Territory are not discouraged by this fact, 
believing that with the gathering of the har¬ 
vest in Europe aud the releasing from work 
of laborers now under contract the tide of 
emigration will increase to still vaster pro¬ 
portions. The growth of the Territory the 
past three years in population has been sur¬ 
prising. In 1860 Ihe population was 4 837, of 
which 2 201 were Indians; in 1870 it was 14,- 
181; in 1880 it was 135,180; and in 1S82 it is 
estimated to be above 250,000. 
President Angell, of the Michigan Univer¬ 
sity, was prostrated b v the heat at Ann Ar¬ 
bor, Mich., while preaching the hac-calaureate 
sermon, and was so weak as to be unable to 
take part in the commencement exercises 
later iu the week. 
An unexpected slackening in the current 
of immigration at Castle Garden brings that of 
the month about seven thousand short of that 
of last June at the corresponding day. Pos¬ 
sibly the reason is that this year the tide set 
in earlier, May’s arrivals far surpassing those 
of 1881, The year, as a whole, will show a 
much greater number than any preceding 
twelve month in the history of the country. 
In the 8enate, Mr. Rollins, from the Naval 
Committee, has reported a bill appropriating 
$10,400,000 for the construction and armament 
of six cruisers, one steam ram, four torpedo 
boats t,o cruise et sea, four others for harbor 
use, and one gunboat for service on the lakes. 
The Secretary of the Navy is to be aided in 
the planning and construction of these vessels 
by a naval board of advice and survey to con¬ 
sist of five naval officers and two experts from 
civil life. 
The arrangement for a fast mail train from 
New York to Chicago to make the run in 25 
hours is closed. This train will begin running 
in July. In the absence of the officers of two 
of the Western pjd lines, Superintendent W. 
B. Thompson of the Railway Postal Service 
is unable to renew the request and accompany¬ 
ing arguments of the Post Office Department 
for a continuous fast mail service across the 
continent. The officers of the railway lines 
connecting Chicago and Omaha have notified 
Mr. Thompson that they canuot put on a fast 
mail train between Chicago and Council Bluffs ) 
ecause such an undertaking by one line 
would create jealousy and disrupt the pooling 
agreement now iu force. 
Consumption no louger an incurable disease 
send to Drs. Starkey & Palen, 1109 Girard 
Street, for their Treatise on Compound Oxy¬ 
gen, and learn how this disease may be sure'y 
arrested and cured. It will be mailed free,

AGRICUL1URAL NEWS. 
The Commissioner of Agriculture at Wash¬ 
ington has issued a circular letter to manu¬ 
facturers of sugar from sorghum, beets and 
other sugar-producing plauts in the United 
States, setting forth the results of sorghum- 
culture experiments made by the Bureau in 
18SI. The report admits the unsatisfactory 
nature of the results, which is quite readily 
confirmed by the exhibit, which is as follows: 
Prom 135 acres of cane there were obtained 
2,977 gallons of sirup aud 165 pounds of sugar, 
at a cost for cultivation and manufacture of 
$8.550 04.-. 
.Reports from over fifty 
different places in the eastern part of New 
York State, including the counties of Al¬ 
bany, Clinton, Columbia,, Delaware, Dutch 
ess, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Green, Hamil¬ 
ton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Otsego, Sarato¬ 
ga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Ulster and War¬ 
ren, also Berkshire, Mass., show the condi¬ 
tion of crops as follows: Corn in all sections 
is very backward, but is now doing’ better, 
aud with continued warm weather will be an 
average crop. Oats are good in all counties, and 
in some very fine. Rye is looking very well, 
other grains generally good, but a small acre¬ 
age and but little attention is given to them. 
Hay promises a very large yield; in some 
sections the dry weather of last Fall damaged 
the grass roots, but there will be more than an 
average crop. Apples are set for an abund¬ 
ant supply. Other fruits, however, are not 
looking well. Hops are not up to the average, 
and promise hard y a fair yield. A large 
crop of potatoes is looked for. Prices for 
farm products are high; farmers are said to 
be paying off or reducing mortgages, and a 
generally good feeling prevails.A New 
York company is organized to ship fresh 
meats from Chicago to the seaboard cities for 
sale in the latter. They say the meat ar¬ 
rives in better condition than when ulive, and 
expect to succeed satisfactorily.S. W. 
Allerton, owner of 12,000 acres of corn land 
in the best section of Illinois, says of the pros¬ 
pect iu Pratt and adjoining counties that the 
corn is fairly jumping out of the ground, and 
farmers are full of hope, and all concede this 
year’s crop in Central Illinois will exceed by 
many thousand bushels that of 1881. Other 
grains are lookiug better than ever before. 
.Two-thirds of the 100,000 acres of 
wheat in Sedgwick County, Kan., have been 
cut, and the crop D now in shock. The farm¬ 
ers declare that they never saw such tine 
grain. Many fields will yield from 30 to 40 
bushels an acre. The acreage of corn is nearly 
130,000 acres, and is growing rapidly. The 
crop is very promising. Such other crops 
as potatoes, oats and barley all promise more 
than Ihe ordinary yield. The latest reports 
from Sunday’s stoim state that in the lower 
half of Paundeis Counly and parts of Gage 
and Butler Counties, Kan., the hail destroyed 
all the crops, except that in part of the ter¬ 
ritory mentioned the corn may survive the 
disaster....... 
There is a fiesh pleuropneumonia scare in 
Maryland. The governor recently declared 
that nothing of the kind had existed iu the 
State lor six months but the government 
commission, after an examination, report 
that ihe disease is still to be found in Balti- 
timore County; that nine animals from an 
infected herd have recently been driven along 
the highwaj r to the city and there exposed for 
sale in the stock yards; that while there one 
was attacked by the plague in an acute form 
and that a calf from an infected herd had re¬ 
cently been sent to Chicago. It is said that 
this animal will almost certainty be attacked, 
and every effort is being made to have it dis¬ 
covered and killed before the disease is 
spread nobody knows where. There is a con¬ 
siderable business done sending calves from 
dairies in precisely the region down the 
coast which has had the most trouble, and the 
danger from it to cattle all over the country 
has been repeatedly pointed out by the com¬ 
mission aud ourselves.. 
David Dow-, of New York, as competent 
an authority as there is In the country, has 
been on an extensive journey into the North¬ 
west, and returns assured of excellent wheat 
crops, and expecting also good harvests of 
corn, though it is yet too soon to predict on 
this grain, which in many parts of the coun¬ 
try was much later planted than usual; and 
in some, for instance, the lower part of Illi¬ 
nois, it has been planted three times. But 
Mr. Dows feels that no storm or rust can pre¬ 
vent abundant harvests.
