GUITEAU has put his foot in it and he
is sufficiently sane to see the point. Sc
many eminent medical experts have
sworn that he is sane man that he now
takes occasion to declare with emphasis
in the court room that he is perfectly
sane, but claims to have been wildly in
sane on the I'd of July. His
antics in the court room have al
along been gone through with te
influence the jury and create the impress
sion that he is insane. Ashe now claims
to be sane, the judge must apply the
same rules which would be applicable te
the trial of any sane man. Hence his
court gyrations must cease or he will be
imprisoned for contempt. This fact has
held the scoundrel in cheek for two days
which is still further proof of his sanity.

CASE FOR THE SOCIAL BAN,

Washington society, the upper tier al
least, seems to be "all torn up" over the
question of social recognition OF high
foreign functionary. Is he worthy OF
such recognition is the question. Are
his personal habits and domestic rela-
tons" spotless and wholesome, or do they
possess an unsavory element The OBJ
ject of all this distressing perplexity is
none other than the Hon. Lionel Sackville
West, the new British minister to the
United States, now resident at Washing
ton. Is he worthy, by the correctness Of
his conduct and the purity of his
life, to receive the social re-
cognition and personal respect
of the high danes of the capital
the virtuous wives and daughters OF
Washington? Why mott
Few men of England come of so ancient
a stock, and no man in England is more
highly connected. "Ought we to visit
him." is the vexed and rugged question
that confronts Washington female social
life. Were he poor dog, the conun-
drum would be of easy solution. But he
is high dignitary of the bluest blood of
the English nation. And here comes the
rub. The Hon. Sackville- West is

milyi Can his little pecadilloes

line of morality and virtuous life, il
palmer words, his foundations, or adul-
teries be overlooked They would moi

will they be in titled foreign gentleman

bachelorship, and yet he has family OF
children, two, at least, of whom it is un-
derstood, he wishes should live with him.
Mr.. Sackville- West was at the head OF
the British Legation at Madrid before he
was transferred to the United States, and
it was no secret there that his relations
with a Spanish actress, running
through number of years caused much
scandal and led to a number of social
unpleasantnesses at the Spanish capital
Shall this open, unblushing roue, this
shameless father of bastards, be received
without question into virtuous American
society? 1t is an insult to the American
Government and the social life of sur
people, for England to send such man
as her representative to our American
court, man blotched all over with IL
centious, personal immorallties.
Washington society should put the
social ban upon the "Hon. Lionel SAX
vile West" and his recall should be
demanded. GA bachelor and the head of a
family" is rather an unsavory plume to
wave in the face of society in Washing
ton and it will be interesting to watch
the outcome. If it was one of the other
sex the sinner would be literally hooted
out of the country. Society, however, is
very kind to men, and aristocratic ladies
who would scorn to be contaminated by
handing cup of water to an erring sister
in the agonies of dissolution, will cordial
ly welcome sinner of even greater pro-
portions, when of the masculine persua-
sion.

It is fortunate for Mr.. Lionel Sackvllle

THE LATEST VERMONT MURDER.-A
bloody, scene occurred about five O'Clock
Monday night on the highway between
Bennington and Hoosick Falls, by
which, William O'Brien, a lumberman OF
Searsburgh and cx-assemblyman of the
Vermont Legislature, lost his life. The
facts of the case seem to be about these :
Monday night O'Brien was riding from
Hoosick Corners to Bennington in COM
pany with George w. Knapp of Wood
ford. Another party drove up behind
them. Jokes followed jokes, and finally
insulting language passed between
the party and bitter feeling was en-
gendered. The man in the carriage
alone was named William III. Keefe,
the boss carder in the mills at Hoosick
Falls. During the racing Knapp's hat
blew of and he went back after it.
While he was gone O'Brien and Keefe
engaged in fight, and when Knapp re-
turned OBrien was pounded in q ter
rible manner. Several of his ribs were
broken, his head battered up and he
was otherwise injured. O'Brien died
Tuesday morning. An autopsy was
made and the surgeons found that two
ribs on the left side had been broken,
evidently by kicks, one of his lungs was
punctured, and the gums of his lower
Jaw were badly lacerated. Keefe was
arrested and lodged in the Jail at Ben.

The latest and most remarkable
achievement in robbing railroad trains
was the boarding of a train on the
southwestern division of the Rock Is
land road at Winston, NO., by IL or 10
armed men, the shooting OF the conduc-
tor and another person and the rob-
bling of the express safe. The robber
jumped aboard just as the train moved
out of the station, two of them, prac-
ticed men at the business, drove the
engineer and fireman of, took posses
sion and ran the locomotive while the
others went through the train. The
conductor was shot dead. and passen-
ger who interfered was likewise killed.
Tho express messenger was forced TO
open the safe and hand over the mon
ey In ut, and narrowly escaped being
killed because he could not produce
moro funds. The passengers in the
two coaches and sleeper were terror
lied, and the robbers continued their
search for valuables. They would have
made rich haul, but for some reason
they contented themselves with their
murderous work and the booty found

TABLE SHOWN INCREASE OF REAL
ESTATE.

SOME DEDUCTIONS.

From these figures it appears that the
aggregate valuation of the State has in
creased from S100,350, 900 in 1880 to
S163, 1871 1898 in 1881, or gain of over
sixty-three millions OF dollars. This
increase is made up in almost exactly
equal proportions of real estate and
personally property assessments. Real
estate has beenincreased from S71,1I4.-
TAI in 1880 to Sl02, 17S,514 In 1881, and
personal property from $115,037 1862 10
S46 ,oO4 ,O79;-the increase in real estate
being $31 ,063,767 and in personal pro-
perty $31 ,766,817. But while the gain
ON real estate has been less than so per
cent, ON personal propety it has been
over three hundred per cent.
The county making the largest pro-
portional increase in its grand list is
Washington-almost exactly 200 per
cent; and the one making the smallest
is Grand Isle-about 40 per cent. Chit
tenden and Lamoille show the largest
gain In personal property-nearly 500
per cent each; and Caledonia the least
