Ex-Judge Porter seems to have crushed all the
humor out of the Guiteau trial
Look ont for loud explosion in Washington
within week. The Democratic resolutions Of good
behavior will be burst with a thundernus noise so
soon ono OF the hOt-heads gets warmed up.
Tho Democratic Congressional caucus voted
down by considerable majority a resolution re-
affirming the " tariff for revenue only" plank OF the
National platform. This is hard on Mr.. Waiter
son and confession of deficient backbone for
the rest Of the party. Being deprived thus OF
its only ISSUE the party will drift into the future
with no steering apparatus and no excuse Tor
istence.
John Kelly will undoubtedly be willing to let the
Tammany members OF the Legislature go into the
regular Democratic caucus, provided his terms
accepted in advance. Any attempt TO entice him
in without this preliminary agreement will be
waste OF energy.
Mr. Randall will now make his debut on the floor
of the House tail-hOder for the erocious Democ-
TaCy.
This statesmanlike observation of Senator Davis
is exciting good deal of Democratic unhappiness:
"There Is only one way in which the Republican
party can be destroyed, which is by the disruption
of the Democratic party. l do not believe the Re.
publican party will die until the Democratic party
Is dead" 1t ably remarked by some of the Demo-
cratic editors that the only excuse this diagnosis
gives the kepuOcan party Tor existing IS to oppose
the Democratic party. Well, isn't that excuse
enOugh9
The Hon. s. s. Cox remarked, in n recent exube-
rant serenade speech thai his philosophy of politics
in Congress was simply this: a challenge every
bill cannot understand" Is this why he breaks
down from oycrwork at the end of every session.
The chances for Free Trade revival In this
country are very poor. The Democrats are clearly
afraid to touch the question at ALL and if there are
any Free Traders in the Republican party tbau4Aro

struggle, attains a position that commands news

Congress met yesterday. The House was
organized without delay. General Keifcr re-
ceiyed rs votes for Speaker, comprising the
whole Republican strength and the two VIZ
gina Readiustcrs. The Greenbackers, some OF
whom were supposed to he willing to act with the
Republicans, stood out by themselves, and gave
eight votes to MI Ford, Of Missouri. The Dem
ocrats gave Mr.. Randall 100 votes Mr. kciier
bad five votes more than the number necessary
to elect but if the four Democratic abscntces
had been present he would have gone in by
one majority. The proceedings relating to
contested seats. which followed the choice of
officers, were not important so far as the i'm
mediate result was concerned, for all the
members objected to were sworn in, but were
significant as showing thus early a disposition
to submit the fraudulent elections in certain
Southern districts TO sharp investigation.

Guiteau said esterday he would rather be
flung as sensible man than acquitted as a
fool After the display he has made of his
shrewdness and smartness during the whole
trial, he need not fear that the jury VIII think
him fool The alertness and acuteness of his
intellect are almost phenomenal. If there are
any believers left in the old theory of demoniac
possession, they might well think him endowed
with an internal intelligence.

A deal of profound learning on the subject OF
insanity Will now he poured out upon the coun-
try through the channel of the Guiteau trla.
So many doctors were never before summoned
in single case. OF course they will disagree,
as doctors always do There is every reason,
however to believe that the opinions
of many of the experts have I'M
dergone decided change since
the trial began, and that a consider
able number of those who were ex-
pected to testify to Guteau's insanity
are sure now, if put upon the stand, to declare
their firm conviction that the assassin is en-
tirely responsible for the consequences OF his
act Nothing has done so much to produce
this conviction as the testimony and bearing OF
Guiteau himself.

WHAT 10000 ACRES Is.-Men talk care
lessly about acres and money. 1t is diff
cult to realize to the mind large sums of
money. Commodore Vanderbilt once
told me that he could never realize how
much $10,0OO,OOO amounted to. The same
is true of large tracts of land. Men talk
of 20 900, 10000 and $4,000 acres without
any realization of the extent of such an

An Old Mans Story.

An Old Mans Story.
At Parson Miller's country school,
Some fifty years ago,
sat beside bright-eyed boy
Whose modest name was Joe;
He took to me and I to him,
And close the friendship grew
Through all the years of after life
No change that friendship knew.
AS lovers to their sweetheartS cling;
AS vines cling to the tree;
So loyal was my heart to Joe,
AS loyal his to me.
His joys were mine-my pleasures his
And happy times were ours;
The paths we trod those halcyon days
We're strewed with fragrant flowers.
Ali Joe was just the boy to win
A heart. and keep it, too;
His own was tender as a girls,
But manly, brave and true;
OF faultless form and graceful mien,
With eyes that pierced the soul,
No lad so comely had his name
On Parson Millers roll
Joe never studied much; to learn
Seemed to the boy but fun:
usually stood number nine,
He always number one.
His tender palm felt not the rod,
His rosy cheek no blow;
And cen mild rebuke was rare,
So free from faults was joe
The years rolled by; both Joe and
Grew with them to be men;
Alas, that boyhood's joyful days
May never dawn again!
We parted at the school yard gate,
Exchanging VOW for VOW;
So soft the hand, so warm the touch
feel the pressure now.
entered ON the narrow way
Where travellers are few;
Joe chose road of broader gauge,
And greater perils too.
He travelled far and tarried long,
From home and friends away;
Won honors, wealth and fame, but where,
o, where is Joe to-day?
All, me! the tale is sad to tell!
How man so true and brave,
From fortune, fame ard honors fell,
And lived a fettered slave;
Lived thro' long years of sin and shame,
OF poverty and VICE.
And died at last a worthless sot,
Whom men called Drunken Joe..'
Where Parson Miiler's schoolhouse stood
Now stands house of God.
And near it small battle-ground;
All fresh and green the sod.
How great the change-how changed the scene
How tears unbidden flow.
AS recall the schoolboy dreams
Of fifty years ago.
modest tablet marks grave,
I stand beside it now,
And call to mind the school-yard gate,
The hand-clasp and the VOW.
Upon the grave immortelles bloom
My fingers placed them there;
Upon the stone are simple words
carved them: Here they are:
