Guiteau's Trial.

Guiteau has bsen upon trial all the
past week and it is consuming less time
than was thought would be taken up.
The prosecution has gotten in all its
evidence from Blaine and the doctors
down to the hack driver, making out 8
clear case from first to last. Not new
! fact was produced and our readers are
already familiar with everything con-
corning the great assassination. SEQ
vile, Guiteau's brother-in-law and his
counsel, assisted by Robinson, Wash
ington lawyer appointed by the court,
offered no hindrance to full statement
of the facts, but were very adroit in
cross-exsmination in giving emphasis
to all points that tended to esta blish the
assassin's insanity. Robinson persisted
in trying to bring out evidence tending
to show that the presidents death was
the result of bad doctoring and that the
wound was not necessarily fatal. SEQ.
vile favored the plea of malpractice at
first, but he became convinced that it
would only excite the jury's sympathy
for the victim and thus make it worse
for the prise ner, and he objected and
threatened to withdraw from the case
unless the court forbade Robinson to |
prosecute such defense. Monday |
the difference between them
had assumed such serious feeling that |
Robinson asked permission and was
permitted to withdraw. Monday MORN
ing Scoville opened the defense alone
and his statement of the points to be
made WAS clear and short-indicating
that the only seriOus plea would be in
sanity. Guiteau gave the court great
trouble by frequent Interruptions and
officers had to attend him constantly to
keep him quiet and COMPEL him to sit
Town. His remarks were allSpointed
md sensible, but bore weired, strange
covering OF audacity and mendacity that
vas either feigned to excite belief in his
insanity, or were actually born of dis !
ordered brain. He made a statement
Monday by permission of the court, but i
t was couspicuously mild and devoid OF {
interest. He said he preferred to make q
10 set speech but to interiect remarks at S
arious stages OF the testimony and thus G
tress each point while il was fresh and {
Su-Hot anu couiu not DC forgotten. Ii [
} thought that Scoville is equal TO the Y
ask before him, and he can certainly O
make sufficient appearance of insanity n
pom which to base his plea with great T
trength. 1t cannot be told yet how Q
yer, how he will manage it, for the h
trength of this plea lies almost entirely n

Mr. Long ON Young Men.


The Memphis Appeal Thursday makes
the following comments on very able
sermon delivered by Mr. Long, publish
ing it in full:
The lazy lah-ds-dahs, the sOnnies who
are budding into badness, the tony
leaders of the street-corner loafers, the
piminy -niminy misunderstanding young
men, who smoke cigarettes and play
billiards with their employ ers' capital,
who think the acquaintance of gam
blerS and the free run of gam bling
bells and houses OF prostitution are the
highest evidences of manhood, will find
in another column a sermon for their
especial benefit, by the Rev. Mr.. Long.
1t will do them good to read it, and per
haps it may arrest their steps In head
long, downward career that can only
end in moral death and destruction.
1t introduces the sermon in the fol-
lowing language:
By request OF many members of the
congregation of Rev Mr.. Long, we pub
fish the following sermon, recently de-
liyered at the Congregational church on
Union street. The success of Mr.. Long
in that church has been something phe-
nomenal. He has in few months
built up the largest congregation in the
city, numbering among its members
many OF our most intelligent and cult
waited people. This result, so fiattering
20 him, has not been achieved on anT
merely merstricieus basis. His SER
mons and his work have grown more
and more attractive with every day, and
his earnestness and zeal, his broad, lib
eral views, sturdy independence and
ready adaptability to the spirit OF the
age, have made for him friends among
men. His career here opens
promislngly, and he bids fair to re-
alize the fattering predictions of his
best friends.

Guiteau Shot at by a Crank.

Gutteau Shot at by a Crank.
Last Saturday evening as Guiteau
was being taken to jail in van, guard
ed by one policeman, a man rode up
leisurely beside the van and quickly
drew pistol and shot twice at the as
sassih through the bars of the prison
carriage, and then turned and fed rap
idly out of the city and into the country.
| The policeman shot at the horseman but
missed him. They were afraid to leave
him, and they took after the fleeing
horseman with the van, but he soon left
them out of sight. A crank named
Jones, who lives three miles out of the
city, was arrested and placed in Jail.
The policeman says he is not the man,
but negro who was riding on the
rear of the van identifies him. 1t is very
doubtful if he is the right person. Gui-
teau had said in the court room that day
to the court that he understood there
were some disreputable persons hanging
around and he wished to give them no
tice that if they attempted to modest him,
his body guard would shoot them down.
He exhibited great fear Monday morn
ing as he passed through the hooting
crowd into the court house, and he has
been less imperative in his demeanor.
The attempt upon his life is deprecated
every where. One of the shots barely

The, Party and 1908.

The American, in an editorial repro
duced in another column of the CITIZEN,
says that we neglect to consider that
party is a means and not an end. We
have tried to keep that idea exactly in
sight all the time. Our object is to save
the party, not merely on account OF
party fealty, but because the democratic
party is the best political means to &C
complish the greatest good. If we re-
quire too much of it now, it may disable
it and render it unfit to do something
more important for US after awhile.
The democratic party, in our opinion,
is the only party that can claim kinship
with our republic. The carrying out of
its principles answers the ends of our
institutions, and its ideas are in direct
sympathy with the genius of catholic
republicanism. To save it intact for
the great work before it, we believe it
would be unWise to risk laundering it
in Tennessee on the debt question.
Tennessee has great future before her,
1908 or no 1908. 1t is even now
dawninE upon her, and we do not care
whether it is being brought about by
1908 or in spite of 1908. II by our dis
sensions power passes to the republic
cans simultaneously with the incuba-
ton into progressive condition, we
fear that the republicans may be cred
tied with the result and perpetuated in
power. We are not fighting 1908 or
low-taxism either. We ere labsring to
save great party for a great purpose,
and not simply because it is the party.
We are laboring to avoid a threatened
strife that will do our our people and
country inmeasurably more damage
than 1908 or no 1908. In fact, this
debt question is a very small matter Ell
Their way now. The watcnword is "In-
dustrial Progress" and We should not
suffer anything to interrupt the march
of events that promise to eliminate in
great glory and greater good for Ten
nessee. The CITIZEN is trying to sweep
this brush8ood out of the way and
place the party upon plane where it
can serve US more perfectly. We believe
the end to be accomplished is worth
the proposed expenditure, and we hest
tate not to again urge high-taxers and
N-taxers to pool their issues and all
fall in line in the march towards more
substantial prosperity than ever was
promised to us before.

The Dark and the Bright Side,

From the American.
| While The Pulaski CITIZEN errs in
its basis of harmony and neglects TO
consider that party is a means and not
an end and must coincide with and
stand upon the line OF the best and high
! est policy II it would commend itself TO
| the public, its course is in marked con-
| trast with the course urged by those
who only regard party simply az a
means to their personal ends. 1t will
not write Tennessee down a ban krupt, a
ruined state, which capital and immi-
grafton would avoid. 1t presents the
hopeful and just view and exhibits Teu-
nessee as the rapidly progressive state it
is-not sympsthiZing with those who
look upon the dark side because a raw
of hope would destroy their plans. We
rarely set out the indications of prog
ress and development that some of this
school do not deny, criticise and declare
ne are all going to the bad. One of
these the other day, in the face of the |
facts, denied our assertion that the or
gsnization of the Tennessee Coal and |
Iron company was in any way depen- |
dent upon the settlement of the state 1
debt. The two million combination |
followed it and we had il from one of |
the leading capitalists that the estab-
lished credit OF the state was most i'm
portant factor. Tennessee is, as the
CITIZEN says, rapidly progressive
state, upon the highway to great pros
perity and progress. The desire TO
make Tennessee out a bankrupt state
AMI to prevent its prosperity is a piece
of easily understood policy. There are
always fine pickings in bankrupt es-
tate which the assets of a solvent con-
Germ do not afford. Moreover class Of
can get in upon the body OF
bankrupt estate, which can have no
from the same concern SOL
vent and prosperous. a cause which
requires the gospel OF despair to be
preached before it can succeed, thus
demonstrates its falsehood as n policy
or people who desire to move tor
ward. Tennessee has but TO keep up
he progressive spirit all along the line
u order to realize more than the wild
81 dreams her most sanguine citizens
ave ever dreamed OF her future glory n
nj progress. As for mere material add
ance the signs are visible everywhere; II

Our correspondent "E'' is correct in
the main but errs in one idea, we think.
The CITIZENS effort is to get this COM
promise effected within The party be-
fore polling time and then go to the
polls and vote for it. If we go to the
polls to settle this matter no man has
but one say-so at it, and there is no
possibility of concessions or agreement.
II we go into caucus upon it we can
weigh all opinions and by agreement
and concessions agree upon q figure.
The error of "E'' is i'll desiring that this
question be settled at the polls. Men
go there to vote a sentiment already
mstured. Let's meet and mature a
policy before we rush upon the jagged
edges OF mems tempers while their
opinions are red-hot. Our correspond
ent is d thinking man. How disastrous
it might be to the party if we come to
the polls with so many opinions and
divide up and cut and slash at each
other, while the republicans march up
in solid opposition! 1t must not be!
If democracy is to prevail in Tennessee
it must settle its internal strifes before
it joins battle with epublicanism.--I
Nothing is truer than that a house
divided against itself must fall. Let's
unite or quit the BUSINESS.

Democratic Harmonv.

Mr.. Editor IL believe the CITIZEN is
the fret that sounded tho key note for
democratic harmony. IL has been ac-
tive and persistent in its efforts in this
direction. But l am sure this will never
be consummated if the 1908 act, which
is now in allegiance, becomes operative.
The hope of compromise will, think,
then be gone. AS a prerequisite for the
democratic factions to unite, the SUI
preme court must advance and declare
this act unconstitutional and void, or
refuse to advance it and let 1t take the
regular order. In either case the qpes-
ton of settlement will go back to the
people, and then 1t would be in order to
talk about compromising at 5O-4 or some
other figure. Until then, | think, the
whole discussion is premature. Should
another legislature be elected before the
bonds are funded, it will be repealable.
Should, however, the supreme court af-
firm the action of the court below, the
law will be fixture for ninety-nine
years, and it would be impossible to di-
rectly repeal it. But while the statute
would remain imperative, the people, !
believe, would disregard il, in this, by |
electing legislatures that would refuse |
to provide the necessary legislature TO |
meet its requirements. For democratic |
harmony, then, Tor peace and the main
of law and order, this law will |
have to be set aside, which can be most |
done by the supreme court
not advancing it and allowing thereby
the people to have another chance at it.
| am sure a settlement can be made that
will meet the approval OF a majority of
taxpayers and bond-holders-such an

Narrowing InharmOniOusness.
Murfreesboro News.
| The harmony fugue which some of
our esteemed contemporaries are warb-
| ling, is not altogether soul-entrancing.
Indeed, what is intended for a grand
choral, with magnificent orchestral &C

animation which all of the organs and
some 10000 or more voices might
give it.
