DELUDED REED.
Guiteau Plays a Fine-haired Game oil
l. His Counsel.


WARRINGTON, January I.-Col. Reed,
associate counsel for the defense, and Col.
Bruce, of Chicago, accompanying him,
were the only persans admitted to Guiteau's
cell to-day. In speaking of his interview
with the prisoner, Col. Reed said: 81 am
astonished at his mental condition.

.Tnr INrE111eES1ER is indebted to Har;
per & Bros, the New York publishers, for
S.copy in two volumes, of their recently
issued popular Gyclopedia of United
States History" edited by Losing, the
well known author. 1t comprises brief
sketches OF important events and conspicn-
GUS actors from the aboriginal period of our
history down to 1876, and both volumes
are handsomely illustrated. They each
contain about 500 pages of 1s.mo. As
books of reference, filed with an infinite
yarity of historical, political and personal
information, they ara very valuable indeed.
This information is arranged alphabetical
ly, and runs regularly through the two
volumes. 1t is especially full as regards
all matters connected with the late war,
although not as full or as accurate as We
could wish in regard to West Virginia
SIN the Work contains vast amount of
every day statistics and general informa-
tor, and is so written and illustrated sto
be interesting to young people.

TIE Governors message to the legisla-
ture Is printed in this issue. Like the pres
ent session, it is extra in its character,
although, as the Governor sets forth, such
paper is required of him at each session
OF the legislature 1t is is not accompanied
with full printed reports from the varfods
institutions Of the State, but is neyerthe-
less aSsort of compendium of such official
information as has been seat to the Execu-
tive Office up to the close of the fiscal year
of 1881, and is, therefore, as informatory as
usual in regard to the financial wants of
these institutions. As will be seen, they
all want great deal of money, especially
the Asylum at Weston, and the D. d. & B.
Asylum at Romney. 1t seems also that We
are falling short of convicts at Noun isyille,
and expenses at the Penitentiary are there
fore increased. The great trouble down
there is that the laborwa let too low in one
or twoof the shops. As business stands to-
day throughout the country the institution
ought to be completely seltsustaining.
The amount of money wanted at Weston
is very large especially for salaries and
wages. 1t is no wonder that the State
runs short and is obliged to borrow. She
borrowed $4,000 last year. One reason
for this is well stated by the Governor, the
lack of expedition in paying into the
Treasury certain portions of the revenue
that are collected months before by the
Sherifs. This is an evil that should be
promptly remedied by the Legislature.
The University wants additional money to
pay for educating lawyers and doctors.
We like what the Governor says under
this head. Our motto on this subject is
short and sharp, yiz-let doctors and law
yers educate themselves The country is
suffering from an over production already.
With twenty-five thousand people in the
State who can't SO much as write their
names, we do not want to be borrowing
and expending the money that is so much
needed for the commonest sort of common
schools in educating the privileged few for
professions.
On the whole, although the message of
the Governor is not the most gracefully
constructed document we ever read, yet it
is a very fair business paper and should be
pernsed by all citizens who take an interest
inour State affairs 1t twouldn't have hurtth
Governor, even with the Democratic party
if. he had deigned to refer to the assassin :.
ton of the Chief Magistrate of the coun
trv. as the Governors of other States have
done and are doing. But even despite o
this noticeable omission we have no specia
fault to find with it. OF one thing it should
admonish the Legislature, that is not tt
waste the scant funds of the people b.
injudicious appropriations, or by re
manning in session this winter day longe
than is necessary.
