ST. Louis Globe Democrat: In reply
TO number of correspondents, we would
state that Mrs. Garfield is not entitled to
pension us the widow of President
Garfield. The wives OF soldiers and Of
ficers killed in the discharge of duty are
entitled to pensions; but the President
of the United States is only an officer of
the army er-o6ieio; he draws no pay as
such, and as pensions are graded accord
ing to pay, where there Is no pay there
is no pension. This is the
case as 1t stands accord
ing to law. Congress can, however. as
In the case of Mrs. Lincoln, pass a spe-
cial law placing Mrs. Garfield on the
pension list. Mrs. Lincoln receives
5000 u year. Undoubtedly Mrs. Gar
field will be provided for in this way II
1t shall appear that she is In need of
such assistance. In any event. she will
probably be voted years Presidential
salary-$J0, 000-and all the expenses
OF the long siege of sickness will be
borne by the Government.

While President Garfield was with
lis sick wife at Elberon, he declined an
Igent's persuasions 10 insure his life on
he ground that he could not afford to
pay the premium. After much discus
sion, however, he finally consented TO
axe out a policy for $4,000. the agent
agreeing to take two notes for the pre-
MUM, which amounted to over $500.
Neither has yet been paid, but the CON-
pany has forwarded to Mrs. Garfield its
check for $4,000, and will collect the
notes from the estate.

| field was q great man and delivered
many crushing blows against political

| NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Eyery church
to-day had a large congregation both at
morning and evening services. In all,
the life and death of President Garfield
was referred to in the discourscs. At
Rev. Henry Ward Beechef's church,
hundreds were unable to gain entrance,
and the tabernacle of Rev. DIR. Talmage
had similar experience. The platform
and chair gallery of Plymouth Church
were heavily draped. Mr.. Beecher, In his
opening prayer, said: "The Lord had
laid his hand heavily on the nation and
taken unto himself his servant; but the
manner of his death filed them with
shame and horror. They were thank.
full there had been no shock, no disa-
ranging OF affairs of the nation through
this event. In the course of his sermon
he said: I'VE spend years in gathering
knowledge, and die when We are pre-.
pared to use it. As short as life is, We
are not suffered to live its normal length.
Why does God, men ask, choose the
strong and useful and let the worthless
live? Why is the hero buried today
and the
INTERNAL INSTRUMENT

The reverend gentleman then spoke
at length Of Garfield's life, and services
he had performed up to the time he was
called TO fill the highest Office in the
gift of q nation, and God had now taken
him to Himself and nation was mourn
ing his loss. Something might arise
. from this disaster that might be bene
fit to this country. The north and the
south for the first time, felt a healing
balm from the PROSTATE President. All
nations have sympathized with US in
this calamity. No protection could
, make our officers so safe as public opin
ion. He would not have guards about
the President. Our president would
, rather take bullet than be surrounded
with protectors, as foreign pOtentatet

THE NEWS.
The assassin and His Trial .

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-No reply has
been received from Mr.. Scoville, broth
er in-law of Guiteau, as to whether he
will act as counsel for the assassin in
his coming trial. Mr.. Scoville was not
in Chicago when the message of Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill reached there,
but 1t has been forwarded to him. The
grand jury, which meets NEXT Monday,
will doubtless find true bin of indict-
ment for murder without delay, but
able lawyers are agreed that there is
little likelihood of an immediate trial,
certainly not at the October term of
court.
If the district attorney has desired a
speedy trial, his exceptional treatment
of Guiteau has defeated such an expec-
tation. The denial of intercourse with
friends and advisers, if any he had; the
illegal retention of his mail; the open.
ing of his letters; and furnishing their
contents to the press; the refusal to al.
low him to see the newspapers-the
whole treatment as that of a person al.
ready condemned and sentenced-has
given to Guiteau's counsel ample cause
for demanding the utmost latitude in the
preparation of his defense. Were the
court anywhere else in the United States
a change of venue would be demanded
and granted, as matter of course. The
District court, however, is peculiar, in
that no such application can be enter
| tanned, and no appeal in criminal cases
lies to any other court. In civil cases
the Supreme Court of the United States
can review the proceedings of the Dis
| trict Court, but not in criminal cases
The only claim that the counsel car
make in aid of tie client will be time tC
prepare defense.
The next term of court after the Octo
Der term will commence on the first Mon
| day in December, and it is thought thai
1 the trial will be deferred until then
Guiteau is adverse to being tried at once
and yesterday told the District Attorney
that q community in which his attempt
ed murder in his cell, on two different
occasions, has been applauded by the
people, and in which neither of those
making the attempt have been arrested
by the civil authorities, is not one in
which he can have a fair trial until af
i ter the excitement has cooled down
The subject of bringing the prisoner
back and forth from the Jail is occasion
| ing much trouble to the district authori
ty. Even after his arrival in the couri
house his protection will be difficult
The room is not large, holding moi
probably more than 400 persons besides
the officers of the court, witnesses, etc
Tickets of admission will probably be
issued by the judge or United States
| Marshal Henry. While there are some
here who would be willing to see the
| assassin torn to piC ces by a mob, ant
there are elements for such mob here

will fall upon the community and coun
