Sergeant j. A Mason, who un uccess-
fully sought to shoot Guiteau last Septem.
Der, has been found guilty by the court
martial, and sentenced to fishonoroble
discharge from the army, To lose all pay
or allowances due or TO become due, and
is TO serve eight years at hard labor in the
Albany penitentiary. This is severe pun
isLment, in fact the extreme penalty of the
law has been imposed; and while it may
be deemed unnecessarily severe, and even
excessive; yet neither the questions of
Mason's intended victim nor the public
sentiment against Guiteau could properly
have any weight in determining the guilt
and punishment of his assailant Strong
efforts will NC made to induce the presi-
dent to pordon Mason. for when much
sympathy is expressed in army circles
and already petitions are being circulated.
and numeruusly signed. While all believe
the verdict of the court martial just, many
would like to see justice in this case tenn.

cred it. A bad feature of the case was
Dunnell's denial of the authorship; but
that It was any disgrace for a congressman
to confidc his plans to friend is absurd;
and TO attempt TO make capitalagaiiist him

course the premature disclosure of Dun
