THE GUITEAU TRIAL.

Guiteau having been on the stand some
days, his ability adroitness, as well as his
pretended insanity, may be well judged of
by reading the following portion of his
testimony which fell out in Judge Porter's
cross-examination

dent on my own personal account.
Question-Who bought the pistol, the
Deity or you?
answer said the Deity inspired the
act, and the Deity would take care of it.
Mr.. Porter-The question is, who
bought the pistol?
Answer-The Deity furnished me the
money with which bought the pistol. I

Mr.. Porter-I thought it was somebody
else who furnished the money.
The prisoner-It was the Deity who
furnished the money with which bought
the pistol.
Mr.. Porter-He furnished you all the
money you ever had on earth, did he?
The prisoner-I think so.

Guiteau reiterated upon the witness
stand yesterday the statement he has of
ten made during his imprisonment, that
disappointment at his failure to get an
Office had nothing to do with the i'm
pulse to kill the President, and that his
motive was to ''save the country" by
putting stop to the quarrel IN the Re-
publican party. If any reliance is to
be placed on the assassln'o own account
of his ideas and acts, his crime was a
political one. To this explanation Gui-
teau sticks with cleverness and per-
sistency quite inconsistent with the sup
position that he is insane. In fact, his
whole account of the variegated and
generally worthless career he has led
since he left the Oneida Community is
much too we'll told to be the utterance
of crazy man. His memory is ex-
cellent, his wits keen, and he has all
the normal mental faculties of a sane
man except the perception of the infamy
of his crime. In short, the only evi.
dence of disordered brain is his in.
sistence on his blasphemous theory that
the Deity inspired him to kill the Pres
ident, and furnished him with the
means for doing 1t. If shrewd crimi
nails who plan and execute eold-bloodec
murders can escape justice by putting
the responsibility upon the Almighty

1t seems obvious that the question of
Guiteau's sanity and responsibility is a
matter of word chOpping and of psyche
logical casuistry. Guiteau is perfectly
we'll aware of the nature Of the act. We
might say that Guiteau was crazed, just
as so many people are called cracked
who are yet acknowledged to be fit to
control their own affairs. If Guiteau
is declared insane vast number of peo-
pie like him, feather Drained, conceited
fools, will justly infer that they, too,

strong in the party. On the other hand.
the democratic party has always played
fast and loose with the question in order
to carry Pennsylvania, and fondness
for subsidy and tariff is undoubtedly
arising in the southern wing of the par
ty. The situation upon this question
illustrates that upon every other great
issue which is likely to arise in Congress.
The regulation of corporations, steam
er subsidies, and free ships are all sub
iects that will appear in some form, and
it may be assumed that whatever action
may be taken upon any of them will
depend, not upon great general princf-
Piles, but, according to the genius and
tradition of the English race, upon con-
siderations of apparent expediency. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that the respon-
siblc majority will remember that a
party gains by positive and loses by a
negative policy. The worst thing Con-
gress could do, in party sense, would
be to leave members of the party in
doubt where it stands upon important
questions. The course of Mr.. Wolfe
and his friends in Pennsylvania shows
that the time has come when the argu-
ment for adherlng to one side because
the other side will do no better has
ceased to be conclusive. The Wolfe
movement represents the sentiment
which demands that party shall be an
agency to secure certain results. If il
does not secure them, nor even profess
to attempt to secure them, it is not q
very powerful plea to say that another
party does no better. Why not have &
party that will secure them? It is the
possibility and, in the light of the Wolfe
movement and of eventsin New York
the probability of such question tina
the republican majority in this Congress
may we'll bear in mind.-Harper'
Weekly.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

commissioner Ureen d. haum SUD-
mitted his annual report last week. The
receipts of internal revenue for the fiscal
year 1879 were $113,449,62I, for 1880
SI23.98l, 916, for 1881 S135,229,912,
and the receipts for the first four months
of the present fiscal year have been $780,
S76,97O. being S7,O61,722 in excess of
the receipts for the corresponding months
of the last fiscal year. The commission
er says if this increase should be main
tanned during the remaining eight months
of the fiscal year, the receipts for 1882
will be fully $I57,OoO.OOO. Gen. Raum
says: The large increase in the receipts
of the government and the great reduc-
ton in the interest and principal of the
public debt are causing discussion as to
the proprlety of reducing the income of
the government by lowering some of the
taxes and dropping others altogether.
My opinion is that it will be wise to
confne those taxes to distilled spirits,
malt liquors. tobacco and its products
and to special taxes on manufactures and
dealer in these articles. During the
past five fiscal years $602,3lO,797 has
been collected, and the entire amount
has been paid into the treasury without
any loss to the government by defalca-
ton. There is a commendable DISPOSE
ton on the part of the great body Of
Taxpayers to yield ready obedience to
the laws. and the taxes are collected with
the least possible friction. In the col.
lection districts where frauds in the
manufacture and sale of spirits and to-
bacco have been rife and where resist
ance to authority has prevailed there
has been a manifest improvement il
public sentiment. While there have
been $50 illicit distilleries seized anC
1910 illicit distillers arrested during thu
past l6 months, illicit distilling has BY
the active operations of the past fv'
years been reduced to a minimum anC
the illicit manufacture of tobacco has fo
the most part been abandoned. Thu
commissioner recommends pensioning thu
widows and orphans of revenue officer
who have been killed, and shows tina
the struggle maintained for the past fv
years for the suppression of illicit distill
ing has resulted in the killing of % ant
wounding of 81 officers and employees
Gen. Raum refers at length to the civil
service question and recommends: First
the establishment of term of office o
four years for subordinate officers, clerk
and employees; second, requiring all ap
plicants for appointment to be we'll in
dorsed as to character and to stand
proper examination as to attachments
third, temporary appointments for on
year on trial; fourth, if found worthy
the temporary officer or clerk to be ap
pointed for three years. the balance O
regular term of four years. He ais
recommends that promotions be upo
merit, ascertained by examination an
certified to by the head of the bureau
and that the only causes for removal b
