Respect the Law.

Sergeant Mason, of battery +, Second Artil-
Iery, when relieving the guard at the jail here on
the afternoon Of the 11th inst, shot at Guiteau
through the window of his cell and came near
imbedded in the cell wall. Mason was promptly
arrested. and taken to the Arsenal and incarcer-
ated The affair is to be regretted, however
much the people may desire to see Guiteau pun
ished for his dastardly attempt upon the Presi-
dents life.
1t should be remembered that the Government
Of the United States rests upon a foundation of
law, and that it is contrary to the genius of our
institutions to punish one crime by committing
another.
If a human being, no matter how depraved he
may be, can be shot down or shot at with impu-
nifty while in the custody of the law simply be-
cause he attempted to kill the President it will
not be long before every murderer or would he
courts and iuries be altogether ignored
Guiteau must and shall be punished. The
American people will have it so: and we most
earnestly desire to see full justice meted out to
him; but for the honor of our good name among
the Nations of the earth, and for the sake Of our
own selfrespect as citizens, let us see to it that
he is tried, condemned, and punished under the
law.

and depraved husband, into kind of a moral
monster, capable of anything and believing in
nothing. He lays the blame of the ruin of many
married women to the carelessness or perversity
of their mothers in accepting husbands for them

derstand their souls

estimable lady but in the line of his chosen
unanimous verdict: neither Colonel Darlington
nor his excellent spouse was fitted for command
in the Indian country: but OF the two the woman
was evidently the better man
From Fort Phil kearney until the Yellowstone
River was reached we were almost continually
harrassed by the Indians but bold and de
cded front, coupled with the greatest vigilance,
carried us safely through to our journeys end.
The same policy on the part of Colonel Caring
ton might have saved the lives of Lieutenant
Colonel Fetterman and his devoted men, whose
slaughter later on brought to our mind almost
the last words we heard that lamented officer
utter: "Ths policy will be the death of some
of us yet" And it was. The massacre of Fort
Phil Kearney was but one OF the legitimate re-
suits OF the Carringtonian method of dealing with
saVages-of that method which presumes an In
dian to be an angel of perfection, of whom it may
be said, as of the King, he can do no wrong" And
how much longer is that policy to prevail? VIII
tle Ilhe ever come Wllen the management OF In
dian affairs will be deputed to the War Depart
ment, where it properly belongs? 1t is surely time
that trial at least be made with a view to ascer-
tanning whether the military head is not clearer
the military arm stronger, than the heads and
arms of those who can find no language express
i've enough with which to praise the noble red
those who believe in treating savages such, and
not as representatives OF the highest attanable
state Of civilization.

WHY NOT SEND HIM TO YORKTOWN ?

Mr. John p. Clevinger, of Smithburg, Monmouth
county, New Jersey is said to be the last survivor
of the crew OF the United States Frigate Brandy
wine, which bore General Lafayette home to
France after his last visit to this country

ot-war was captain of the side, and hOisted the
General on board in an armchair, and hoisted
him out of the vessel at Hayre at the time ef
disembarkation
lie Is now IN poor circumstances, and we sug-
gest that the committee of arrangements take
steps to enable him to be present at the Centen-
NAL celebration At Yorktown next month. 1t
would do the old mans heart good; and, besides
it might be pleasant to others to converse with
one who saw the noble Frenchman some of whose
descendants are expected to add interest to the
occasion by their presence.
By the by, according to our informant. the
Clevingers come of loyal and patriotic stock
The grandfather of the one above mentioned
served in the Revolutionary war, and was
wounded at the battle of Monmouth; the father
served during the war OF 1912, and the son served
over three years in the Union army during the
late rebellion. Four generations, in direct line
dedicated to the cause of their country.

DEMORESTyS MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

This sterling magazine comes to us fairly teem-
ing with good things. Over Land and Sea- by
James Grant, the story with which it starts out
is well worth perusal, and so are Russell's Draw
ing, the Fragment of a Photograph, and numerous
other short sketches with which its pages are en-
livened The poem, Murdered Woman, by
Ella Wheeler, is one OF the best things even
among so many that are good. Prunes and
Prisms is concluded, while Kith and Kin is con-
tnued from the August number
On the whole, the varied reading matter, the
illustrations, fashion notes and plates make up a
summary rarely to be found included in one
magazine, and which must necessarily commend
it to everyone who but gances at its contents

The Government of the United States is rich
enough to pay pension to every soldier and
lion and yet survives. The passage Of law con-
tanning such provision is simply a question of
policy and not one OF ability to meet the obliga-
tions which it would impose upon the financial
resources Of the country.

Colonel Dudley has in course of preparation a

A harsh word affects the human heart as

cause of the irritation, but yet for long time

General W. T. Sherman is thus reported in a
New York paper:
Wnen asked about the attempt to kill Guiteau
he said that the law would have to take its
course in Serg, ant John Masons case the same
us if he had fired on any unotfending citizen
lie stated that if, as some of the papers have
claimed, there has been talk among the soldiers
detailed to guard Guiteau in regard to shooting
him, the guilty ones would be arraigned before a
court-martial The fact that the attempted
shooting was done by an officer Of the army made
the crime ineXcusable and worthy OF the severest
punishment
This is the voice Of great soldier who never
sustained violation Of law for any purpose.

Although il has been doubted that

'iollow it, master up and down stairs" a
contamination which might be accepted as
positive progressive steps in the rise to-
ward ultimate civilization, al least accord
ing to "Lewes Seaside studies," oysters are
susceptible Of being educated to small ex-
tent. la the great establishments on The
coast Of Calyados, the merchants teach
oysters 10 Keep their shells closed when out
OF the water, by which the liquor retained
keeps their gills moist, add they arrive
lively in far.distsnt Psri-. The process
may he worthy Of extensive Publicity; il Is
this: No sooner is an oyster taken from
the sea than il closes its shells, and opens
them after a certain time-from fatigue, il
is said, but more probably because the
shock it received by removal into the air,
causing IL muscles 10 contract, has passed
away. The Cslyados men take advantage
Of thi. to exercise the oysters, and make
them accustomed to be out Of the water, by
leaving them daily in the atmosphere foI
longer and longer periods. This has the
desired effect, the well-edueated mullosk
