The Guiteau Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.
District Attorney Corkhill said, today, that
Davidge would make the opening speech for
the government in the Guiteau case. ''Then
l suppose" added Corkhill, ''ScOville will
follow. l don't know whether Reed will
speek or not. Judge Porter will then close
the case. do not expect to speak unless the
question of jurisdiction is raised, on which l
am prepared to say something. That ques-

The Cannon. Campbell Case.
The Star says the general sentiment of the

whether Cannon is or is not an alien. The
final decision will, however. be in all prob
abilities, that the whole matter be referred
back to the people Of Utah for a new cleo
ton.

The COunIry's Business.

The statistics found in the reports of
the comptroller of the currency are not
generally regarded as interesting read
ing, and do not attract very many
readers but if we would get an Occas-
ional idea of how much business the
country is doing from year to year,
these very reports make the desired
revelation. An article in a late num-
Der of the New York Tribune dissects
the comptroller's last report, to show
its readers just what is being done and
what sort of a currency we have.
Judging from the receipts of national
banks as reported on June Both,
this writer estimates that the re-
ceipts for a yearmust be about SS5, O00,-
100000, and says that although this
seems vast sum, there is evidence
that 1t is not an reinstatement. Then,
counting the transactions of banks
other than national, and the payments

NEW OHhj August l., 1901
To the Editor Of the CdIedOnidn
With the dog days comes hydrOpho-
bia, several hOrrid cases of which have
recently occurred. Wiseacres have
tried to make people believe that muz-
zles are cruel i'll the summer, and that
dogs most often 90 mad i'll the winter,
but facts seem to he against the theor-
les, and whether muzZled or not, the
ours that inteSt the city are an unmiti-
gated nuisance. Swarms are drowned,
numbers are shot by the police, but
still they swarm. The utter eXtermi-
nation of the whole race within city
limits is advocated by some people.
For my own part, can find no use for
il dog in the wilderness of brick and
stone and iron, which is enough to
spoil the temper of the noblest canine,
which might run little risk of getting
rabid if enjoying a happy existence,
ranging forest, field and mountain side.
The Acknowledged admirers of Amer
lean institutions are fast becoming
thoroughly acquainted with them. 1t
is surprising to foreigners, with none
of whom will the Chinese and Japa-
nese dOmesticate themselves as they
do with us, to find how comfortably
they have settled down and imbibed
our ways of doing things, even some
times the less agreeable phase of Amer

to recover possession of the child, and
an accounting for the money paid on

lady utterly neglected her and squand-
cred immense sums on her own selfish
enjoyment. The story is, it is under

Japanese naval officer, who recently
called to see the budding beauty. On
the other hand, it is said that the

the reserve cities other than New
York is only 5. 6 per cent at New
York it is only 1.3 per cent /; and at
the other places, where ,73l National
banks are located, it is only 1873 per
cent. The aggregate for all the banks
reporting is only 40 per cent, and this
means that out of 100000, 100000
paid yearly through the banks about
S95, OOO, zoo, 600 is paid without the use
of money. The Importance of this
statement, in any discussion concern
ing the amount of currency required
for the ready and safe transaction of
business, is obvious. Substantially,
we use $50 in checks and drafts where
we use 81 in money. Other tables Wv
en- by Mr.. Knox show that about per
cent of the aggregate payments are
made in paper currency; about .65 OF
one per cent in gold coin, and about
.16 of one per cent in silver coin. The
payments not made through banks are
smaller in amount than the careless OBJ
server would imagine"
To people unacquainted with these
matters, or who have not paid particu-
lar attention to them, the above state
ments will be surprising. The writer
referred to closes by saying in regard
to the financial needs of the country
"Generally, we may safely say that
in this country there liz needed, for the
transaction of a years business through
banks, about 81 on the 800 in paper,
and about 81 on the 500 i'll coin, while
somewhere from So to so more pei
800 is required for payments not made
through banks. At least nine-tenths
of our business is done without any use
of money. Perhaps four-fift of the
remainder is done with paper money
The problem as to the currency has
ever been to find that form which could
be most safely and conveniently used,
with the least use of coin. As matters
stand, little more than one dollar in
fifty seems to be in coin, and yet the
existing system seems to be i'll every
respect the safest and the most con
venient ever devised. In truth, nC
other country can boast currency
system at once so safe and so ecOnomi-
cal"

the final result. On Thursday DR..
Bliss, always positive and buoyant,
was more confident than ever before.
Voice, language and manner bespoke
a conviction that recovery was now Sc
cured, but that fever kept up. They
explained, they argued, they exhausted
every resource, but it would not go
down. 1t puzzled them; the wound
was doing well the patient showed no
signs of new disturbance the stomach
was delicate, to be sure, but was per
forming its functions, and yet some
thing was wrong. On Saturday it
seemed to be slight retention of pus,
but the fever and quick pulse did not
go down when the wound was cleans
ed.
The first indication of immediate
dangerous trouble made its appearance
perhaps during Saturday night. AS
was told, the President was then dis
turbed by most terrible nightmare.
He dreamed that he was being dissect-
ed by the doctors. With n cry of ter
ror he awOke, and, although the unreal
vision vanished with that act he was
so much unnamed by it that it was
some time before he could control his
nerves. This dream was very largely
due to the disOrdered state of his stOm-
ach. At any rate, it was followed by
gastric disturbances and by very great
nervousness. His sleep was spoiled for
the night, although he succeeded in
catching Il few troubled maps before
daybreak. He began Sunday, how
ever, in very bad shape, and the doc
tors did not succeed in establishing a
much better condition during the day.
Sunday night, again was a trying time.
He did not sleep well and his stomach,
which was now badly disturbed, caused
the physicians the greatest trouble.
The bulletins on Saturday and Sunday
had been very meagre, but it was now
apparent that the truth must he con-
fesSed. The Monday morning bulletin
was of an entirely different sort from
those which have preceded it for GER
tainly week-and, one might almost
say. the entire period of his illness. 1t
told the truth frankly and boldly, with
scientific calmneSs and accuracy of de-
scriptiOn. The doctors evidently saw
that crisis was at hand and felt it
their duty to prepare the world for the
worst.

THE PRESIDENT MORE COMFORTABLE.
The very latest reports from tbs
White House indicate little improve
ment in the Presidents condition. He
had slept well, been fed twice, and his
stomach retained the nOurishment.
The feeling at the White House was

tors express satisfaction with the
change.
GUITEAU TRIES TO KILL HIS GUARD.
AT 400 o'clock Wednesday morning,
while Mr.. w. c. McGill, one of the
guards at the Jail, was passing through
the corridor, something i'll the appear
ance of Guiteau's cell attracted his at
tention. Entering the cell he found
the assassin in possession of knife.
How he obtained it is Il mystery. When
he demanded the knife Guiteau refused
to surrender it. Mr.. McGill drew his
pistol and then an exciting tussle en-
sued, Guiteau making every eXertlon
to get the pistol from the guard. He
succeeded after IL struggle, but Mr..
McGill, after the most strenuous eXer-
ton, regained possession of it. In the
struggle that followed the weapon
was discharged, and the report brought
other guards to the assistance of Mr..
McGill finally and Guiteau was disarm
ed. He had succeeded, however, in
cutting Mr.. McGill's clothing pretty
badly, and came very near intiictlng a
dangerous wound. Guiteau pretended
to he crazy, and complained that his
pistol had been taken from him.

there is no hope for him. The digest
i've trouble, from which the Presi
dent has for years more or less suffered,
seems to have assumed a serious form
Immediately after the first surgical OPP
Grafton, and though the physicians
have fought bravely against it, it has
gained the upper hand and brought on
a crisis, the result of which is greatly
feared. The President may possibly
have power enough to combat even
this difficulty and rally from the effects
of it ; but this is extremely doubtful.
The nation begins to lose hope, and
it is as well to face the fact that our
Chief Magistrate is liable at any hour
to be taken from us. The fact that his
pulse has been so high continuously is
evidence of some serious constitution
al probably poisoning OF
the system, which will go on till the
end is reached. Even if the stomach
RECEIVERS partly its tone and does the
work required of it, that will not do
away with the rapid pulse beats if they
are caused, as feared, by poison alb
sorbed into the system. The situation
is extremely grave, and the nation
must be prepared for the worst. If the
worst is delayed and the news grows
better, they can rejoice but people
are evidently giving up.
In the light of such circumstances,
the attention of the nation is turned
toward the Vice-president, who is so
likely to be called to a higher place.
While there is life there is hope, and
the country will not cease to pray foI
Garfield's recovery but if it is to he
that Arthur must take up the reins OF
government, the feeling is gaining
ground that he will not be as recreant
to his duty as was at first feared-that
he will do what he can to carry out the
administration in a way which will
promote peace and harmony in the
party and the welfare of the country in
general The issue is of course uncer-
tain even now, and the nation waits in
breathless suspense for the result OF
the present crisis in Garfield's cOndi-
tion-hoping for the best, but fearing
the worst.
