THE Galveston Christian AdUo.
cate has heard that DR.. Bliss is an
infidel. If the allegation is true,
the Adcocdte says herein is an ex-
PLANTATION of the conspicuous fact
that no clergyman visited the presi-
dent, even during his extreme i'll
ness.-Erchange.
Certainly the Christian Advocate
could be guilty of no such unchris-
tlan reflection as that Mr.. Garfield's
soul was not worth looking after be-
canse our once blissful Bliss, his
medical, not spiritual attendant, did
not believe in future damnation., If
such be the teaching of the Adro-
cate, it Is about time for it to draw
on the STATESMAN for generous
Christian-like doctrines.

THE GUITE4U TRIAL.
Record Of the Case Yesferddy-InteTest
Liereasing-GHit sin RdriHO.

WASHINGTON, November 2G.-There
was II great crowd at the courthouse this
morning, and every inch of space was
| occupied, several hundred standing out
side waiting until the ops ming. so they
could get in.
AS soon as court opened, ScOyille read
a telegram from Z. A. Storrs, of Chicago,
saying he could not possibly come to
Washington at present owing to profess
sional engagements. ScOville said, un.
der the circumstances, he would not in
sist upon an attachment for StOrrs, and
it was arranged that he should testify at
any time during the trial.
Thomas North resumed the stand and
was cross-eXamined by Davidge. Just as
the witness was released from the stand,
Guiteau improved the momentary lull to
make his speech Of the day. He said:
al notice my friend, Henry Ward
Beecher, is doing some bad work on this
case. used to attend his church and
prayer meetings. ityour honor knew him
as well as L do, You would not pay any at
tention to him. There are a good many
people that think Beecher is badly crank
ed, and haye no doubt that Mrs. TiltOn
told the truth, and that Beecher lied about
II, and viii tell him so publicly"
'Oh, well, well, prisoner, that will do
for you, said Mr.. DaYidge." Guiteau was
apparently satisfied, and nodded with a
smile, saying, "Shafs AL right, judge,
have had my say on Beecher, am salts
fed"
Gen. John A. Logan then took the
stand, and was asked ''DO you know
the prisoner ~ "Oh, yes, of course you
do, General," broke in Guiteau, "yOu
know me well. / am very happy 10 see
you again" Witness said had frequently
been beseiged by Guiteau TO endorse his
application for office, but had inva.
riably declined, for the reason that pris-
Oner did not seem to be such a
mend for any office. He had never
knew him in Chicago. The first time
he ever saw him was when he (Guiteaul
called upon him to receive his influence.
The general Impression he formed was
that there was something wrong in his |
mental arrangement.
George ID. Hubbard, living near the |
Oneida community, knew Guiteau during |
the six years he remained with them. |
The witness had never been member of |
the community, but worked for il. His |
evidence was of little importance. He |
said that Guiteau was considered of little |
Importance.
Edward smith was employed at the Re-
publican committee rooms during the |
last presidential campaign, and frequent
Iy saw Guiteau hanging around the /
rooms. He thought Guiteau was trying
to secure recognition from the commit
tee, but was certain he never received
any assignment to speak from any of the
committee thought Guiteau was very
peculiar and flIghty ana rambling in his

The validity of the bill providing
for the public debt of Tennessee is
before the supreme court of that
state, but the case will not be
reached for months. The bill re-
cOgnizes the full debt of the state,
to be funded at 3 per cent. interest,
but an injunction was obtained be-
fore the transfer of the new bonds
was effected. The Nashville World,
the organ OF the low tax party,
states that even if the law is de-
clared constitutional, "a large ma

The protectiOnists, in convention
at Chicago, declared they were sup
ported by the spirit of the constitu-
ton. On the other hand, the trO-
tective tariff system is by no means
a constitutional or American sys-
tenn, but one of taxation not for the
purpose of paying the public Obliga-
tions and expenses of the govern
ment not for the general welfare.
but system devised for the benefit
ola certain group of citizens, and
containing not even the germ of
equal and exact justice to all men,"
A protective tariff taxes the many
unequally for the benefit of a few
individuals. 1t is legislation for a
class. 1t is inimical to the general
welfare" 1t is opposed to the well
fare of the masses. Its principle
has, in fact, been pronounced uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court of
the United States. The protective
system is always apologizing for its
existence. 1t has no place in Il re-
public. Though claiming for the
system constitutional privilege,
these protectionists did not adjourn
without adopting a resolution that
money be raised to establish pro-
tective tariff clubs in every congress
sional district, the purpose being
probably to teach n constitution
loving people their duty to organic
law. The more certain purpose is
to give congressional aspirants sub
stantial reasons for not opposing the
protectionists' policy.

THE president is tactician.
Southern Republicans in Washing

Sypher, of Louisiana, requested the
privilege of an interview with him
on Tuesday. The purpose was to
insist that n southern Republican be

president, in reply TO Sypher's
bland suggestion and inquiry. SAID,
with singular H0icete, that, of course,
the southern gentlemen, whom he
world greet most gladly. would not
dream of making suggestions about
the personal matter of selecting

THE whisky distillers met at Chi
cago aud they have pooled their
issues. The proposition is to re-
duee the production in all cases
possible to one-half the registered
capacity Of the distillery in ques-
ton. this limit to be applied at
once. In cases where distlllers have
a large amount of stock on hand,
and can not at once reduce their
production to so great an extent
without loss, a royalty must be paid
into the pool for all goods manufac-
tured in excess of the proposed
limit. The amount of The pool is to
be fixed at $4,000. 1t is thought
that the market can not be cleared
up and the reaction in prices
brought about by or before Decem-
ber 1. The reduced consumption of
corn will of course have an effect
upon the price of that commodity.
The number of distillers entering
the pool is so great that they will be
easily able to control the market.
The move is one of much signifi-
canoe to the liquor trade.

CETYWAYo'S SUCCESSOR. - John
Dunn, candidate for the throne of
Zululand, was born on the borders
of Zululand of Scotch parents, and
mingled with the natives from his
early childhood, acquiring their diff
ferent dialects. So diplomatic and
shrewd a trader was he that, at the
death of the chieftain of one of the
Zulu tribes numbering several hum
dred souls, he was unanimously
elected to take the place of the de-
ceased. That was about twelve
years ago. Cetywayo, King of Zu-
luland, appointed him special agent
to carry on negotiations with the
English government in any litiga-
tions that might come up. With
an eye to business, so characteristic
of the Scotchman, he used his au-
thority to import British muskets
old and new, and to sell them at
eXorbitant prices to the king and
his subjects. In less than three
years the Zulu army numbered fully
10000 men. as we'll armed as the
volunteers of the Cape. A Zulu
chieftain, not far from John Dunn's
settlement, crossed the border into
Natal and kidnapped his failhless
wife. When England demonstrated
through John Dunn, the Zulu king
gave an insulting answer, and the
English commenced mastering their
forces on the Zulu border. After
mature deliberatlon, Dunn muster
ed his tribe formed them into a cara
van and marched over TO the Eng
lish. Since the war, John Dunn has
been doing all he can to influence
the Zulu chiefs in his favor, and to
get them to nominate him to the
throne in the place of Cetywayo,
a prisoner at Cape Town.

The Washington correspondent
of the Charleston Nelcs and Courier
thinks that the trial of Guiteau will
cover period of six weeks. There
will be between one and two hun
dred witnesses examined, many
fights over technicalities and q dozen
long speeches. 1t will be an inter-
esting trial to the spectators, but
dull to those who have to rely on
dry and briet reports. Its result
will probably be the acquittal of
Guiteau on the ground of insanity,
unless the government has strong
evidence to The contrary which is
now unknown.

THE country boasts of hundreds
OF millions in the treasury, while
lower taxation is the cry-of spa
triots." calling for hosts to assemble
about them; yet 1T is said the
present surplus is entirely made
quate to meet demands. The pen
sion bureau asks for twenty millions
of dollars, deficiency, and one hun
dred millions for the fiscal year now
begun. A hundred millions more or
less besides this will be sked for, and
it may be given, and so the cash may
go. This is the argument of those
who want revenue to be expended
on everything under the sun besides
the real expenses of the govern.
ment. 1t is the argument of the pro-
teetionists, whose agents in congress
are gong to use every endeavor to
increase expense, that high tariffs on
imports may be preserved.
