Drawing In His HORNS.


WASHINGTON, d. c., July 20.-Prison
fare and discipline have taken much of
the starch out of Guiteau, and have even
had willing effect upon his ordinary
vanity When first confined he made
frequent complaints of his treatment.
He regards himself as an important per
souage, a prisoner of state, and demand
ed better care than was bestowed upon
his fellow prisoners, whom he demon
strated common felOns. He protested
against being put on a level with other
prisoners, said lie was gentleman ac-
customed to having the best of fare, and
IN tactic luxury, and he insisted that he
should be so treated. His demands
were often made in an insulting manner
and usually ignored. He is fond Of
writing about himself, and consumes
every scrap of paper he can get. In
this way he has not ceased to complain
and to demand better treatment, but his
manner has changed. He is more sub
dued, and apparently begins 10 realize
that others do not regard his crime in
the light he does. The other day he
complained that he did not get coffee
enough, and the warden

his spirit OF selfimportance. and he
forthwith began to put on airs again

THE Utica Obserrer presents re.
markable illustration Of how the public
standard Unpopular rights has been low
cred by the aggressive attitude of cor
D.ratiouS and money '' in cOllusiOn with
D .li;ira! rings" When Gov. Plaisted,
of M....e, in his inaugural address, said
- universal suffrage and great landed
estates cannot long exist together, for
either the owners of the estates must re.
strict the right of suffrage, Or that right
of suffrage will in the end divide their
estates" his remarks were denounced by
the Boston press and the Massachusetts,
Republican press generally as commu-
nistic, agrarian, ,-.incendiary and dema-
1oyical. Now it is discovered that he
only paraphrased the utterance of the
same proposition in a popular speech by
Daniel Webster, who said: 9 Univer-
sal suffrage, for example, could not long
exist in a community where there was
great inequality Of property. The hold
ers of estates would be obliged, in such
case, in some way to restrain the right
of suffrage, or else such right of suffrage
would before long divide the property" "
So soon is the great man forgotten when
he is gone-cven in Boston.
