BEGGING OF MRS. GARFIELD.

The Curious Letters Witch She Has Re-
ceiyed from. all Sorts of People.
A letter from Cleveland says that since
the death of her husband Mrs. Garfield
has received nearly 1900 letters, from
strangers in all parts of the country, beg
ging for some part of the fund which
was subscribed throughout the United
States for her benefit. Most of these
letters have been delivered directly to
Mrs. Garfield, and many of them have
been sent to her cousin, Mrs. Mason, with
whom she stayed during the funeral
week, and next door to whom she
is now living for the winter. Mother
Garfield has also had great many SINH
lar letters, and in one instance. at least
Miss Mollie was appealed to by CORE
spondent who desired to become her step
father. Mrs Garfield has read all of these
letters and then burned them.
Soon after Mrs. Garfield came here
from Mentor to reside she received let
ter from woman asking for several
thousand dollars to pay off her husbands
debts. She inclosed photograph of her
insolvent husband, and asked further
that Mrs. Garfield solicit President
Arthur to give him clerk
ship of some sort under the govern
ment. Mrs. Garfield destroyed both the
letter and picture. Six weeks later this
same woman wrote to say that she and
her husband had enjoyed vacation jour
ney of nearly five thousand miles, the
delights of which had been impaired only
by the ever present recollection of her
husbands debts and Mrs. Garfield's be-
reavement While by this time the pub
lie had for the most part forgotten
Mrs Garfeld's sorrow, this disinterested
but interesting correspondent begged to
assure her that she still bore it in mind,
and shared with the nations widow the
grief of the nations bereavement. She
also enclosed postage stamp for the re-
turn of her former letter and her husbands
picture, in case Mrs Garfield was not dis
posed to grant her requests.
Several letters were received from
church societies asking for help with
their debts. One woman wrote for
money to buy mourning dress for her
self, and tombstone for her son, lately
dead. Another, who=had lost her hus-
band in the war, had married another
husband, who was worthless and unde-
sirable companion. She wanted money
to enable her to leave him. A young
girl wrote for money for her wedding

syndicate, under the control OF
the general government, is not
for a moment to be tolerated.
This idea is only another evidence OF
the tendency to Capitalization, and the
putting of all power in the hands OF the
government, leaving to the people only
specious show of right, while the reality,
the substance is taken away. Let it be
remembered that power is always steal
ing away from the many to the few; and
in Republican government like ours,
this tendency must be sedulously watched
and guarded against at all points.

Chas. B. FarwelI, of Chicago, and Geo. c.
Assassin Goes Through the Usual Circus
Performance.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Upon the opening
of court this morning Guiteau announced
that he had prepared an order for the attend
ance of the witnesses he suggested Saturday
and would desire the court to sign it at once.
The order was handed to Judge Cox. Scoville
called Geo. Gorham, editor of the Republican,
but he did not respond.
Chas. B. Farwell, member of congress from
Chicago, was called to the stand. He was
questioned about the state of feeling between
the factions of the Republican party just
previous to the shooting of President
Garfield. Judge Porter objected to taking up
the time of the court by this kind of evidence.
The witness was questioned as to his ac-
ouaintance with the prisoner. The prisoner call
upon him (witness) at his office in Chicago, land
showing some newspaper slips said he was
about to purchase the Inter Ocean, and told
witness if he would loan him 100000 he
would make him president of the United
States.
Guiteau (emphatically) is false. I
never made any such proposition. l asked
him to invest some money in the enterprise,
but he said he had alread SIC, 900 in the Inter
Ocean, and would not put in any more"
The witness again saw prisoner in this city in
March last The prisoner had a recommen-
mendation for the Paris consulship, and want
ed the witness to Sign it. Witness never
thought the prisoner sane man. Upon cross
examination witness was asked if, in the con-
versations mentioned, he had any opportunity
to form an opinion whether the prisoner was
able to distinguish between right and wrong.
Scoville objected to the question, and argued
at great length in support of his objection.
Guiteau continually broke in and insisted
that the questii n had no bearing on the case;
| that his mind all through was blank on the
question of right and wrong; that he was i'm
PEELED by an Inspiration which he could not
resist. Judge Cox ruled that the question
could be entertained, and it was again put.
Witness thought there were grades of insan-
| ity, and did not think the prisoner so insane
| but that he could distinguish between right
and wrong. Scoville desired to note his ex-
ception.
| Guiteau (excitedly)-"I want this under
stood right here. / will put stop to all this
irrelevant business. | acted from Inspiration
Judge Cox-"Well, that will do"
| Prisoner-"You have said that many times,
and you must not interrupt the court again. y
Gorham took the stand and discussion en-
sued between counsel upon the form of the
question, in which Guiteau insisted upon tax
| ing part. Turning to Scovile he said: "You
are getting little cracked yourself on this
| subject. l wont have your line of defense. 1t
| is altOpether to narrow"

ITALY 8 SCHEME SQUELCHED.
LONDON, Dec. GA Vienna correspondent
of the STANDARD vouches for the authenticity
of the following: Some time back Russia
sounded Italy in regard to joint action
against Austria. Italy received the proposal
favorably, and preparations were actually be-
gun to repeal the events Of 1886 with the ex-
ception that Russia was to play the part
which Prussia then performed. But the
scheme became known to the Austrian and
German governments and Bismarck accord
ingly arranged the Dantzig interview. When
Italy perceived an Austro German alliance
would be able to Withstand an Austro. Russian
conflict, she resolved to attain
her ends with the help Of Austria Italy,
believing thac-Austria cherished important de-
signs in the east of Europe, and would con-
sent to transfer Trentino, or some other part
of Italy irredenta, in order not to be disturbed
in the east, instructed Count de .Robilant,
Italian ambassador at Vienna, to suggest an
interview between King Humbert and Emperor
Francis Joseph, as preliminary to an alliance.
The Italian N mister, who accompanied King
Humbert to Vienna, preached the Trentino
subject, but without success.

and compared the various elements, parts and
pieces of the two machines, taking nearly two
days for this work,
We have had them opened for our inspec.
ton and have had full and complete
explanations from the agents of both makers.
We find that although the Silsby machine is
the largest of the two, and has won all but
one of the tests to which 1t was subjected, and
is well made in every respect, yet there are in
the organic construction of the La France
machine elements of merit not possessed by
the Silsby; that as machine it is superior in
it's construction and adaptability to our use.
And as mechanics, citizen, taxpayers and in
sured, we believe it for the best interests of
our city to buy La France machine.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Although itmay seem somewhat anomalous
to the council, that the committe at large
should award nearly all of the tests to one en-
CINE and advise the purchase of the other,
when apparently the first engine behaved bet
ter during the trial, burned less coal,
kept steam better and apparently did its
work better in almost every respect, this
apparent anomaly will vanish when it. under
stood that the Silsby boiler, engine and pump
is of much greater capacity than the La
France, and has shown but little better re-
suits. Your committee has been somewhat
hampered in making its report, because it was
deemed by one of the makers not advisable to
make public the relative proportions and pc
culiar construction of the engines. otherwise
your committee would have made full re-
port thereon instead of, the conclusions drawn
therefrom. Your committee has not deemed
it advisable to cumber the body of this report
with long and tedious tables, which could
only be understood by careful study. But as
the second, fourth, sixth and seventh tests
are the most important ones, we give their
general averages:

THE sr4NDARD LIE PUNCrURED.

In spite of the persistent efforts of Re-
publican newspapers to mlsrepresent the
political condition of the Southern States,
CAPITAL is constantly going there from the
North to develop its resources and put
life into manufacturing and industrial
enterprises, which, judging from the large
annual dividends declared by enterprises
of this character already established, give
promise of a bright future for the South,
and satisfactory returns to those who are
investing their capital there. In the face
of constantly recurring events going to es-
tablish the absurdity, if not malignant
character, of the rumors OF the brutal
treatment the working population are con-
stantly receiving at the hands of the rul-
ing class, the following, clipped
from the New Orleans Democrat Of the
I'd inst. is not only significant as indica-
tive of the under currents at work in
shaping the future Of that section of the
country. AS denial of the charge that
the negro population is abused and de-
prived of the advantages of govern
ment they are taxed to support, it is an
eloquent and conclusive answer:

What cities of the North under Republi-

rule, and to note particular instances
would be to make invldious distinctions.

A Disastrous Week in Trade.

Reports received by Bradstreet's state that
1853 failures were reported throughout the
United States and Canada during the past
week, the largest number for any one week
this year, and an increase over the preceding
week of forty-five. The increase was In
New England and Southern and Western
states. The principal causes of the failures
were overtrading and speculation, and, in the
South, poor collections, because of the small
crops in some sections. In the Middle States
were 81 failures, an increase of 2; in New Eng
States 40, an increase of 10; in the Western
States 81, an increase of IL: in California and
the territories IL, decrease of 2; in Canada
and in the provinces 10, an increase of 2.

SCHOOL EDUCATION At THE SOUTH.
Rev. DR.. Mayo has recently travelled
extensively in the South in the interest
of public school education, and on his re-
which he presented IN an interesting man
ner, his views, observations and recon-
mendations He showed the reason why
the common school system of the North
did not obtain at the South, and dwelt
with great earnestness on the efforts now
being made all over the South to bring
the means of education within the reach
of all, so that the rising generation
may have the advantage of instruction
in at least all the elementary branches.
He strongly opposed the establishing
of a national system of school education,
under the control of the general govern
ment. He regarded such plan as not
in accordance with the genius of our
government. His plan would be, In
stead, to have money furnished in aid
of assisting schools and colleges at the
South. He deprecated the plan of sending
an army of Northern teachers to the South,
but sensibly advocated the training of
teachers of both sexes on the ground, as
rapidly as possible to fill the demand.
Such views as DR.. Mayo presented, from
careful, intelligent personal observation,
ought to impress all thoughtful minds.
The South should no longer be regarded
as missionary ground. The self-respect
of the people should not be trenched upon.
Help her to avail herself of her own capa-
bility, her own powers and of her
own material for producing adequate
teachers to educate her own popula-
ton. The people are well disposed to the
regulation Of education, and are anxious
to learn; and all they need is the proper
opportunity to avail themselves of the
advantages of public school instruction.
The constant tendency to look to the
national government in almost all cases
for the promotion of the internal inter
ests of the Southern states should be dis
countenanced. There is, confessedly
vast amount of ignorance among the
Freedmen, and the poorer
class of the white population, but the
problem of self elevation can best be
wrought out by leaving the work to the
people themselves, with such incidental
aids as can be readily and properly sup
piled.
But the formation of a National sys-
TEN of education for the South, par
excellence, National educational
