instructions accurately, with the tridfnR
exception of substituting two grains al

Bread crumbs play conspicuous part in
this next one. The physician wrote Citrate

druggist substituted one grain for the twenty,
two grains for the twelve, and made up for all

Here are dozens OF others which have col.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

party than in the republican, possessing diverse
interests and aims, and so hardio bring together,

faction, the interests Of which are conded to the

and Captain Eads must of course do the
best he can for himself. He is under no
obligation TO abandon his scheme if Con-
gress refuses to aid him. Congress has
only to consider whether it is for the inter-
est OF the country to have controlling in.
fuence in the proposed railway. 1t it is,
then it would be misfortune for the line
to fall into the hands of foreigners. But
as the ship railway is most unquestionably
thoroughly feasible undertaking Captain
Merry to the contrary Notwithstanding. it
may be regarded as certain that capital
will be found to build it. Such a work
promises very much better than ship
canal, and can be built in half the time and
at less than half the cost. If Captain Eads
should be enabled to begin the work next
year even, the probability is that he would
have it finished before the Panama Canal
was half completed. Such prospect will
attract capital, and the ship railway will

sumed that no unnecessary delay viii be
INDUCED in by the Court. The exceptions
are of course as strong on papsr as they
could be made. Scoville is doing his duty
to his client quite faithfully. There is.
however, no reason whatever for supposng
that new trial viii be granted on any of
the grounds alleged, or that anything will
occur to prevent the sentencing and execu-
ton OF the prisoner within reasonable
time. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that he

ENGLISH CRITICISM.

a portion of the English press has criti-
cised the conduct of the Guiteau trial very
sharply, but some of the inferences drawn
are so plainly due to ignorance of the facts
that they merit only the resentment due to
preaumptuous folly. The statement that
the American people have been disposed
to tolerate or be amused by the conduct
of the trial is not true. Nowhere has it
been severely censured than in this coun-
try. But before slandering nation as it
has done, the London Times would have
done well TO point out by what means the
offensive occurrences could have been
obviated. Had the trial taken place in
England instead of America, precisely the
same difficulties would have been present.
In neither country is it possible to inter
fere with Court of Justice in the dis
charge of its functions. In neither
country can the press or people prevent a
Judge from ordering the proceedings in his
own Court to suit himself. In neither
country can prisoner on trial for
his life be tried in his absence. What,
then, would the English people have done
in sHch case! They would have had to
do as we did, namely, grin and bear it.
and they could only have relieved their
minds as the American people did, by
scolding all concerned heartily. But to
say that the Guiteau trial was approved by
this nation. or that its peouliarities were
what they were because the Americans
believe in that kind of thing, is nonsense,
and calumEiaus nonsense. The single fact
that nothing like the conduct of the Cult.
eau trial has ever been known before in
our criminal administration, sets thai
proposition at rest. The effect of the
trial has 10 doubt been very bad, but fol
all of this the Court alone must be held
responsible, and it is alike unjust ant
stupid to charge the scandal upon our in
ssitutions or our ways of thought.
