The Governnent win Pay.

Washington, Oct. 2l.-In the su-
preme court, Judge Cox rendered the
decision upon the application of Sco-
vile, counsel for Guiteau, for an order
Of the court allowing fees and expenses
to defendants witnesses. The Judge held
that 1t was, in the discretion of the
court, proper to allow expenses for a
reasonable number of witnesses; the
same to be paid in the same manner as
the government witnesses, and stated
that he would decide in the chambers
as to the number of witnesses to be al
lowed. Upon the question of the assign
ment Of counsel to assist in the defense,
the judge stated that he would defer the
matter until after consulting with Sco-
Vile.

ever, it is asserted that peace has been
declared and the Texas Pacific and
Southern Pacific will soon meet and
connect on mutually favorable terms.
BY December first the latter will be
running through trains from New Or
leans and st. Louis to San Francisco
for freight. A.port near San Diego
will probably be reached by rail. How
much of the traffic which now makes
the Union and Central Pacific profitable
will be retained by these roads? The
Chesapeake and Ohio will soon have a
complete line to the Mississippi. Hunt
ington is president of that road. At
the Mississippi he will connect with
Gould's road and through Missouri and
Arkansas. How much stock does
Gould now own in the Union Pacific or
Huntington in the Central Pacificf

Washington, Oct. 2l.-Scoville. Gui-
teau's counsel, is causing some excite
ment in political circles, because of an
avowed intention to make the most of
political aspects OF the assassination.
He is reported as saying yesterday that
there is more of politics in the case than
most people imagine. 1 intended that
everything connected with the crime
should be developed, and II should
have stalwart to help me he might an
tagonize the course which is necessary.
1 shall not be certain to bring out the
connection Of Conkling with the incep-
tion Of the crime. The stalwart chasm
was responsible for the matter and 1t
shall be placed where it belongs, IL 1 can
secure that result. The opinion is very
general here that Judge Cox will decide
that he has no jurisdiction. Richard
T. Merrick, who will ague this point
for Scoville, is quite sure there is no
Jurisdiction and that the circuit court
Of the district has decided in that way
in two similar cases. Merrick also re-
marked that he could not see how Judge
Cox as it is stated he intended to do,
could have the question of jurisdiction
disposed of before the trial commenced.
For, said he, the prisoner has pleaded
not guilty, as he had perfect right to
do, and l cannot see how judge can
require him to change the issue thus
made, and it was a mistake to arraign
the prisoner II the Judge was in doubt
as to his jurisdiction.

unfounded and the statement that sup
pressed it is, he says false. He de-
cllned to say anything more about the
matter further than the remark that
after he had an interview with the
president he will probably make a full
and complete explanation of this and
all other charges against him.

INDIGESTION
Your Own Home.

TO be sure, the tax on property is
high, and little repairs run away with
considerable money; nevertheless, it is
wise for man to buy home Of his
own. A house for a family is a do
nestle saving bank. 1t fosters the
home feeling; there is something to
work for Each can help to pay off
the debt upon their homestead. for it
is their home and not some ones else
who may at the expiration Of the lease
thrust them out to give place to others.
Every tree, and shrub, and towering
plant upon the premises has been
planted, or added to by the hands OF
the occupants, and are the objects of
lavish affection. Thus the ties of do
mesticity are multiplied, and an incli-
nation TO wander restrained. Again,
there is no more money spent in NOV
ing. AS three moves are equal to a
ire," there is obvious economy in
staying in one place. Lost articles,
damaged furniture, misftting carpets,
injured healths and damaged tempers
all have more or less direct bearinc
on the purse, sometimes throwing out
lines reaching as far as the doors of the
doctor and the undertaken, TO say moth
ing of the services of sundry artisans
TO repair damages, and Of time lost in
removal that could have been more
protitably occupied in the regular pur-
suits. Then there is the value added
to a place by the industry and skill of
the occupants in identifying it and
multiplying the comforts and convent
ences of the home. There is both
pleasure and profit in such work, but
it is foreign to the renter, who grudges
time and money expended on another
mans property.
