Him 10 Step Down and Out.

WASHINGTON, October 19.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Tyner Gays there is
no truth in the reports that the President

go into the Criminal Court tomorrow and
ask that counsel be assigned to assist him
in the defense of Guiteau. He will, at the
same time. file an argument on his applica-
tion for allowance of witness fees.
Mr.. scoville, Guiteau's counsel, furnishes
the following:
To the Public: The trial of Guiteau is fixed
for November z. The short time allowed
makes this appeal to the public necessary.
VIII the press kindly copyit. He attempted
to lecture on religious subjects through
several Northern States. 1t is believed
there are many people in that connection
evidence of his insanity. VIII they
not do so, in the interests
of patriotism, justice, humanity and mercys
Patriotism. because II he is hung as sane
man it will be an eternal blot on our history.
Justice, SO that 1t may not be said hereafter
that he, being denied by heaven OF the
guidance of reason, was put to death con-
trary to all law, humane and divine. Hu-
manity and mercy, that should be prompt,
laying aside passion and dealing with this
case In Christian chsrity. II any
person knows of facts bearing on
this question. will he not furnish
me the information ? No one will be called
to testify unless it seems to be important to
his Just defense and fair trial.

THE WAR ON THE LEAGUE.
Stirring Manifesto from the Irish
Leaders--GrOwls from the London
Press--A Large Meeting at Carr1ck
..MOre Arrests.

LONDON, October ia sensational state
ment is published that the War Office is ar
ranging for the dispatch of an army corps
to Ireland In the event Of necessity. Gen.
Sir Thos. Steele, however, says he thinks
that the reinforcement now on the way to
Ireland are sufficient.
The Morning Pos. says: "We consider that
the issue of q manifesto by the Irish Land
League is direct incentive to civil war"
The Standard saws: 'fWar to the knife is
proclaimed explicitly. So far there is no
hinching on either side"
The Telegraph says: "Nothing can be
more explicit than the determination of the
Land League to maintain their fierce con-
tiIct with the government"
The signatures to the Land League mani
festo were not actually written by the
prisoners, but virtually appended by their
authority.
Mr.. Cobb, leading member of the Board
Of Guardians of Mount Mettick, has been
arrested. A troop Of Lancers escorted him
to Mas jail.
At meeting Of the Carrick branch of the
League to- day twelve hundred persons were
present. Two hundred tradesmen Joined
the organization. A detachment of Hus-
sars, with sabres drawn, paraded the streets,
and the shops were closed.
Mr.. Goddard, a member of the Property
Defense Association, has asked the govern
ment's protection, on account of threaten
ing mObs assembling outside his house in
Dublin. His house is now guarded by
police.
DUBLIN, October 19.-Thirty policeme n
are now disabled from injuries received in
the recent riots.
The wording Of the League manifesto is
exceedingly violent. 1t reminds the people
that their ancestors, though without
leaders, abolished the payment of
tithes, and that 1t is as lawful
to refuse to pay rents as it
is to receive them. Against the passive re-
sistance of the entire population, the mill
tarY power has no weapons and it is no more
possible to evict than to imprison a whole
nation. The funds of the League will be
poured out unstintedlY for the eVicted and
exiled.
"Our brethren in America may be relied
upon to contribute as many millions as they
have already contributed thousands. One
more heroic effort will destroy the cursed
system of landlordism."

Sherman on Men for En- ergencies

Following is copy Of recent letter
from General Sherman:
HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES
ARMY, WASHINGTON, D. c., October 8.
The Hon. j. NJ DalzelI, Ct1Ldsoell, Ohio:
AS you request in your letter of October
4, return herewith the letter of Thur
low Weed, which you ought of course
to preserve. How Mr.. Weed was instru.
mental in bringing me back to the mill.
tary service in 1860 am of course un-
able to say, but his statement with refer
ence to his Intervention with President
Lincoln and Secretary Cameron is all
news to me. l cannot recall ever having
met with or seen him till long after the
war was over. have great respect for
the old gentleman, but am reminded of
the infrmity of age by his laying down
my route from Atlanta to Richmond as
through the States of Tennessee, Ar
kansas, Mississippi and the Carolinas
That surely would be swing
around the circle. l am sure l appre.
ciate the partiality of friends such
as Thurlow Weed and others, but am
more and more convinced each day that
this world will move on its usual orbit;
that man is a mere atom, of little infiu-
ence; that each day and each epoch cre-
ates its own agents; that the great men
of 1915 were not suited to 1912; that
these again fell short in 1846, these in
1851 Each epoch calls for new agents,
and should the year 1900 call for new
men, the Grants, Shermans and Sheri.
dams will fail as signally as did the st.
Clairs and bulls of 1912 and the Woods
and Worths of 1916. As long as our
country is in the ascendant scale men
will arise equal to any occasion, but
when the time comes for decline, then
no personal effort will avail or succeed.
Ohio has succeeded Virginia. Now look
out next for Iowa and California. You
seem to be gathering data of the past;
better the present and the future. AL
ways wishing you all honor and success
in the career of your choice, am, with
respect, your friend,
"W. T. SHERMAE."

ST. LOUIS, October ia special from
LongvIew, Texas, furnishes the particulars
of a revolving crime committed near Beck
vile. A white man named Sloan had an a.
tercation with negro named Lum White,
andsthe latter endeavored to punish SIoan's
children. Being prevented by the mother
and her daughter, girl fifteen years old,
he succeeded In enticing the latter into q
deep ravine, where, with the assistance of

pocket knife he mutilated her horribly, and
then cut the girls throat from ear to ear.
At the inquest Whites wife confessed to
all the revolving details, when a young man
named Hart, incensed at the story OF his
iendish brutality, shot the negro dead.
