ITor.iintv, Proprietor. THE DAILY NEWS. MONDAY. JUNE 6, Tyser would adorn private life beautifully, but there will be regret if he does it if such a fellow as ex-Senator Spencer, of Alabama, takes bh place. (THE present English ministry is perhaps the best friend Ireland ever had, but the unhappy ikle ia making it rapidJy impos sible for htr friends to help her.

star rsute prosecution, like the mills of the grinds slowly, but like them, we are told it will grind exceedin email. The authorities are at work to corral the rascals. Tire republican county convention which met at Toledo Saturday passed resolutions approving the president's course. There is strength, in such actjon. AH republican bodies should do likewise.

There have been several allusions to the mighty-services of Mr. Cerofling in this state last fall, when he made four ppeeebes ia which he never mentioned Mr. Porter or Mr. Garfield when he could help it, and when he could not, damned them with faint praise. We are willing at ail times to give hearty credit to any man, but we do not believe in giving to any man what belongs to all men.

It was the people carried Indiana last fall. The people crowded to hear and see Conk ling just as they crowded to contemplate Bernhardt, and for the same reason, and his performances had as little effect upon the result, and as much, as hers had. Yesterday the churches oi the city were alive with earnest effort. Last night they were crowded, and through the doors and windows the lights, streamed out and the. sounds of prayer and praise were heard.

The lights streamed out from the saloons of city also last night, and they did a thriving business, quite as openly and above-board as the churches. TriK atrocious assault in University park last evening by which Mr. Compton lost an eye' at the hands of a murderous villain emphasizes the complaints that have been made by residents of that neighborhood of the character that place is taking on. There is no sufficient watch iept upon it, it is not lighted and it has become -a resort of too many of a class of people that is bo credit to any place. The size aud location of University park should be a guaranty for the safety of women nd children and all self-respecting people who may go there at any time.

It is not so, and it is time the authorities took prompt measures, before its reputation becomes thoroughly bad. The. unsightly ramshackle collection of boards and sticks that fences it in should be torn down. This it not a village where cows and pigs wander the streets, and there is no reason why a small park like that, in the heart of the best portion of the city, should be fenced at all. Then the.

-place should be well lighted at night, and at all times should be thoroughly policed. -This is a small matter that deserves prompt and rad' ical treatment. Thk people have jretty thoroughly truly focutsed thisConkling trouble, but in very issue nothing is lost which tends to shear of! little side questions and get to th.e root of lire matter. The Washin-ton Star performs this service so neatly and briefly that we reprint its work with-a recommendation for careful reading Next to his ridiculous want of strength, the most comical feature of Mr. Conklju's present struggle for restoration is the pretence that he and his few followers j.

resent the republican that those who do not train with him are bolter from it. The situation is this: The president sept the senate the nomination of a man in good standing in the party for a certain office. This nomination, every republican setator voted to confirm. Foreseeing that they would do so, Mr. Cockling in a pet concluded to resign his position and leave his party.

We say lpave his party, because the executive ami the senate were the only and authorized representatives of thnt organization having to do with the issue involved. all the rules governing arties ever since the beginning of politics Mr. t'onkling therelore became the bolter. He raised mi issue witn his party and left it. it didn't go away and leave in in.

But the trouble with Mr. Conkling has always been that he thinks he is greater -than eveijbody and everything else besides. He his fallen into the sagie laughable error was made by the wandering and-bewildered Indian," who, on bein told that he was lost, exclaimed: "Lgh1' i. in not lost. Wigwam lot.

Sfvatoi! of Kansas, in a recent interview, thinks Garfield's nomination of UoUrUon a mistake, and that he ought to hs ve'w ithdrawn it, and so speaking ma ces the following contrast: Coder similar circumstances fl manlike General Grant would have promptly mo li-htdMiis actioD. regardless of personal con-sideratioiis. I remember one singular illustration of this trait in General iJrant's character. He nominated ex-Attorney General Williams to be chief justice of the 1'nited States supreme court, hut becoming crnvineed that his selection was unwise, he withdrew his name and nominated Ca'eb Gushing. Kvents, however, disclosed that Gushing had maintained relations with Jeflerson Davis at the outbreak of the war which would render his appointment ofTt-nsire to the loyal sentiment of the ucrth, so he withdrew Isis name without hesitation, and sent in the name of Morrison Ii.

the present chief justice. Senator Installs rnust surely have forgotten thje history of that time. He speaks a.s if Grant discovered those mistakes, or at lenst admitted them and rectified them. That is not the case. He withdrew Williams only after the most stubborn resistance to tLe counsels of his friends out of the senate as well as in, snd not until he knew it was simply a question of withdrawing his favorite or having him U'n defeated tv ins own party, ihtn he made the wiia and whimsical nomination of CuBhing, which amounted almost to a national scandal and was so outrageously opposed to the sense of the country that Grant hadn't a leg to stand on.

i.aiKea in provxr.ng kt two his favorites bv nomi- tions perhaps as grossly until as any that were ever male, he spitefully passed by all. judicial attain ments brought them to the public miud us fit candidates, and nominated Mr. Waite. It was a perfect "discovery one of those queer one-, wkich the people will remember General (Jrant, as president, was con- constantly making. Mr.

Waite was accepted with a sigh of relief, because if he was not an eminent jurist he was at leadt an honest man, and Omniscience only knew what sort of a character Grant micht pick on if Mr. Waite was objected to, simply be cause nothing could be said against his uprightness. It is pleasant to be able to lay aside the sharp btick with which a newspaper, if it means to do its duty, has to keep jabbing a round so lively at abuses great ami small, an 1 commend some course or action which has fairly risen above self-interest, and moved into the light of an honest purpose. Such are crucial tests, when they include any considerable body of the people, of moral soundness. Thev come to the surface now and then in the seeming lire oi mi- country, boiling up from the bottom, as it were, and showing, that the mixture is healthful.

A recent illustration is the po sition of the democratic upon the Conking squabble. Knowiug that it is the interest of the democratic parly in every way to upheld Mr. Conkling aud keep Mim in place, if not in power; know ing that to retain him is to give ferm and substance to a faction with power to harm the; republican party, and that on the other hand to accept his resignation, put down his pretensions, and relegate him private life, is to deprive those of his following nowaeld together by personal attachment of the link of that attachment, and so make the republicans in New York whole, yet the democratic press, with here and there a rare exception, have with one voice condemned Mr. Conkling's un constitutional position, condemned his arro gant "hossism," and called upon its political representatives to have no part or lot in perpetuating that hateful system in the direction of the public a flairs of this country. This is creditable to the democratic press.

It shows a healthful, honest indignation at wron things. The oppostion of the same press to the third term was another instance. In the face of the moral certainty of triumph for the democracy had that at-eropt at-empire been fouted as a doctrine npn the republican party, (he deniocratie press did not encourage but, opposed it It is well for every voter to think that the salvation of the country rests with the prevalence of the opinions he espouses. Such a belief inculcates earnestness of purpose and honesty of conviction, but it is a comfortable thing to see evidence now and then that all the knaves and fools ace not banded in one party and all the wise men and pa (riots in another. There is a large admixture of human nature everywhere, and it is cheering that now and then it shows its quality to be such as to bid no one despair for the republic.

A l'l'ii Picture ef the Vice 1'resident by Oatii. General Arthur is one year younger than and will be titty -one next October. He was a lawyer in New York, of small prpe-tice nntil he be-came connected" with politics. During Tweed's time he became counsel to the tax commissioners at New York, at ten thousand dollars, a year, auei thus derived his original sap and succulence from the regimen of Tweed. At the bigjuning of the war he had been a petty militia inau in one of the regiments, and in that capacity got on 'oivernor Morgan's During the war he was solely and only a quartermaster in and about the city.

HisGeneraJ title belongs to tie city hall rather than (6 the field of battle. After the war his best legal business was in collecting war claims; and in lobbying between Albany and Washington. He rang in with Tom Murphy, collector of the port, and when. Murphy was pressed hard on account of his peculations during the war, by Greeley, autl had to resign from the custom house, Arthur elected him to the state senate, and "became collector in his place in 171. For seven years this lobbyist and quartermaster had the great custom-house of the I'niteyl States under his thumb, and it was a scandal from the beginning to the end.

As soon as he got in the merchants cried out against trie general order and cartage system of swindling. He began to trade between the cusjom house and the city hall, lhe leading merchants were persecuted with lines and penalties, turned into the! collector's pocket and partly into the senators', and finally he left the office in disgrace, and was only nominated vice-president through the ignorance of the western people of the personal character of eastern politicians. The general victories of Conkling in the New York legislature and in the state had created a superstition that unless somebody was nominated on. the ticket with Garfield for whom the ring would work the ticket would uot go through. General Arthur is the center of a circle of lobbyists, who have no means of support but by jobbing at either Albany or Washington.

His method of operating, and especially his choice of catgut aa a sewing material, did not seem to me a good one. He has not attempted to repeat the operation, so far as I know, and no other surgeon has ventured to undertake this by no means easy task.

The few rases which came under my notice Ln the course of the past year did not seem to me to be proper ones for a fii-st op-, ei ation of this kind. It was only recently that the case of a woman was presented to me where the diagnosis of a cancerous pv-lorus was certain. After a few days of observation, the patient assenting, I made' up my mind to undertake the operation. The woman, about forty-three years of age and mother of eight children, was taken sick-very suddenly, it would seem in October, with vomiting. The symptoms of cancer of the stomach with atenocis of the pylorus soon showed themselves.

The onlv thing she was able to 'retain for any lengtfi of time was sour milk. The preparations for the. eperation consisted in accustoming the patient to peptonized and the cleansing of the stomach by the well-known method of injection and pumping. The room, specially preparexl for the occasion, was heated to 2 and the narcotic administered by one of my assistants, every one of whom seemed to be couscious of the importance of the undertaking. interruption an-d not a m4nute of unnecessary delay occurred.

The movable tumor, lyicg a little the right, seemed to be of the size of an ordinary apple. A diagonal incision about eight centimeters long was made over the tumor, which proved to be a knstty and infiltrated cancer ef th pylorus, occupying more than a third it the lower portion aration of omentum arid lowed; then large and vecsel was tied ot the stomach. facp-the adhesion to the the transverse colon fob the division of the small omentum. Every before being cut, the loss of blood tumor was being very ssiall. The turned over the abdeminl walls, and a.

cut was th-n made through the stomach', one centimeter beyond the infiltrated part, at first only backward, then in 'the seme manner' through the duodenum. The attempt to put together the edges of the cut parts showed the possibility- of joining them. Six stitches were taken tl rough the edges, but the threads were not yet tied, and' only trsed to retain the edges in position. A further cutting' through the stomach was then made diagonally from the upper and inner to the lower and outer side, but alwavs at a distance cd one centimeter from trie infiltrated portion of the coating of the stomach. The' 6txt thing done was to join the diagonal cnt upward, until the opening was small enough to fit the duodeuutu to it, A complete separation of the tumor from the duodenum was effected next by au one centimeter on eitherside of the iufiltratred portion, and parallel to the cut through the stomach.

Then the duodenum was introduced into the opening left in the stomach. About fifty stitches were taken with Czerny's carbolized silk. The whole was cleansed with a two per cent, carbolized solution. The stitches were then examined, and a few more added where there seemed to be eak spot-1. The whole wss replaced in the abdominal cavity, the' outer wound closed and the bandages applied.

The operation lasted about ene hour and a half. No weakuess, no vomiting, and no pain seemed to be apparent after ths oper ation. 1 he patient was given ice only in the first twenty-four hours, then peptouized injections with wine. On the following day, at first every hour only, then every half hour, a tablespoonf ul of sour milk. The woman slept the greater part of the night with the ai 1 of a small injection of morphine.

The only food taken for some days after the oporation consisted of sour mijk, one litre a day, as an attempt to nourish the, patient with broth did not seem acceptable to her. The peptonized, injections were dispensed with, rs they produced flatulence ana cglic Injections of wine three times daily were therefore substituted. The patfent, upon her own request, was a few days later removed to the general ward; and she has since been discharged from the hospital, cured. The excised part measures at the greater curvature horrible Jictulj fourteeu entimeters, and it is with difficulty onlv that I sm enabled to pass a goose quill through the pylorus. The shape of the stomach is changed little by the operation.

It is only a little smaller than formerly. Star Route Victims. Washington special. 1 Among the gentlemen mentioned as like ly to receive attention from the grand jury. connection with the star route frauds are the following: General Brady, exsGhief Clerk 1'rench, ex Senator Dorsey, 'S.
