The three jurors lacking in the Gulteau trlaI
were secured Yesterday. The box is now full,
and the trial will begin in earnest. We shall
soon hear from the mouths of eye witnesses
the story of the Infamous murder that sent a
great shock throughout the whole country
on the ID of July last. The jury seems
to have given the impression OF
body of plain, sensible men, too intelligent not
to have opinions about the case but fair
minded enough to be able to reach just YER
diet upon the evidence actually presented to
them. They will render the final decision in a
case which the whole civilized world will watch
with eagerness. There does not seem to be the
same vengcful feeling toward the assassin a.
was felt at the time of the shooting and dur
ing the long suffering and after the ptliul
death Of the President. The excitement has
had time to subside, and men who, two months
ago. would have hanged Guiteau, sane or III
sane, are now ready to see his counsel prove
him insane, if they can. As to whether there
has been any change in the popular opinion
of his mental responsibility, that is quite
another question. Perhaps it could be
fairly summed up by saying tlat
Guteau recalls the famous definition of
oyster plant as "a plant that is always going
to taste like an oyster, and never does
Guiteau has many times seemed just on the
point of proving himself insane, and just at
that point he has shown some CLEAN OF de-
liberate cunning and dcyiiSlncss, with
a condition apparently Of intellectual
clearncss and even sagacity, that con-
fuses all the ordinary conclusions, and
throws the observer back upon the first
theory that this is a man-bcast, strangely de
PRAYED and dcbaScd, but still man and re-
sponsiblc being. The vanity Of the fellow bids
fair to make him as famous in history A. he
could wish. Some extraordinary manifesto
tons of it were given yesterday.

Reform is needed in the evening shuttle
trains on the City Hall branch of the elevated
road Shuttle trains should connect promptly
with down trains reaching Chatham Square.
To keep passengers waiting at Chatham
Square until the shuttle train picks up enough
passengers at City Hall to make the trip
profitable, is to reduce rapid transit road to
the level of country stage.
The too ingenious speculator, who was look
Eng to make his fortune by recovering from
all the railroads in the State the amount he
alleged to have been overcharged on the trans
portation of milk, has been npped in the bud,
so to speak, or frozen in the can. The ease
was thrown out of court yesterday without
going to the jury, Judge Barrett taking the
practical view that the charges, which had
been paid voluntarily, were for services rem
dered 10y special trains at exceptional hours
and at more than ordinary cost.
An interesting verdict was rendered in the
Supreme Court yesterday. Two years ago the
seventh-story floor of furniture factory in this
city fell, killing Metzger, an employee, who was
there at work at the time. The widow brought
suit for $1,000, the full statutory allowance in
such cases, and, being able to show that the
safety OF the floor had not been tested, III
spite of suggestions that it should be DONE
received a verdict for the full amount of the
claim, after only fifteen minutes consideration
rby the jury.

Senator Hogan, who was a Democratic can
ddate for reelection in the LIST District, filed Il
protest yesterday against a declaration of the
vote in favor of Dr. Boyd on the ground that
" in various districts fraud, bribery, intimida-
ton and other corrupt and Illegal means
were used in Mr.. Boyd's favor also, that
" gross irregularities in the receiving, count
ing and declaring the vote were prachSed.
No doubt this is all true, and Senator Hogan
should promptly furnish the detailed evidence
on which these charges are based. Then II Dr.
Boyd will make public the various IRREGULAR
ties, frauds, bmberies, and the like, which were
probably used in Senator Hogans favor, we
shall have an cdlrying picture OF Democratic
methods in clecting legislative representatives.
