GUILTY AS INDICTED"

S GUILTY AS lND1CTEO.'
 The strange and, in some respects, shock ing trial which has been going on in Wash ington since November 14 has finally come to an end. The case was given to the jury about half-past 4 o'clock yesterday after noon and in a short time verdict of guilty as indicted" was returned. It has been plain for some time that this would be the verdict if the jury decided according to the evidence
 Guiteau has had fair trial; many think too fair. It will, however, we think, yet be seen by those who have so sharply criticised Judge Cox's action that he has, on the whole, conducted the trial wisely. One thing is have gained so good an understanding of the assassin's mental condition as by seeing and hearing him in his daily exhibitions of him self in the court room. They have seen his marked ability, his cunning, his accurate knowledge of the difference between right and wrong, his acute perception and skillful use of points in his favor, his assumption of a confidence which he did not feel, and his total depravity." With the villains mind and heart Cor more properly lack of heart) thus spread out before them like an open book they could not believe him insane, in a legal sense, or have Ca reasonable doubt" as to his sanity. The larger jury whose mil lions of members have daily scanned the &C., counts of the proceedings are also satisfied by the criminals own words and actions that nothing but justice will be done whea he is hung It compensates, in our opinion, for all the offensive features of the trial to have Guiteau's guilty responsibility so clearly made manifest by himself.
 In addition to the damning evidence which Guiteau has given against himself, it is also to be noted that the defence has not brought forward any evidence to show that he has not always been what he was when his crime was committed and what he is today. All that is known of him shows him to have been from his boyhood up an insufferable egotist, 8 deadbeat and abusive of his privileges, There has apparently been no change in his usual course of thought and action. He him. self was quick to see the bearing on his fate that the record of his consistently bad life would have, and he sought refuge in the plea of transitory mania. But he failed to make the jury or the people believe that insanity attacked him when he put his finger to the trigger of the pistol with whichsshe shot the President and left him as soon as the shot was fired.
 Judge Cox's charge to the jury was fair and lucid. Mir. Scoville announced his in- tention to seek new trial for his client, but it will, we imagine, be difficult to dis cover any good reason why one should be granted. This country has had enough of Guiteau

The Hand Organ Boom at New York.


 There has been a great ''boom" in the hand organ business in this city within the last six months; and however the public may feel about it, the few dealers in that in strument of bad repute arc rubbing their hands with satisfaction, much as the coal dealers are said to do on very frosty morn ing There is no other city in America where hand organs can be bought, and the state of the business in New York is, there fore, the state of the business in the whole country But because there is unusual &C., tiyity just now it is not to be supposed that immense factories are turning out instru- ments by the hundred and shipping them all over the United States like our piano makers. That would be a great mistake. The fact is, facilities for making hand organs in America are so exceedingly limited that an order for 20 instruments, all to be finished within three months, would astonish the manufac- tIrers. For nearly score of years the number of organs of the barrel type made in New York averaged from 70 to 100 year, but last year, owing to the increase in the business, more than 150 were made Most residents of New York have noticed 8 great increase in the number of organ grinders within the last few months. In the busy avenues hardly 8 COT. ner but has its an-grinder on pleasant days. And the grinders penny boxes are al
 ways pretty well supplied with small coins, buOuSu IH5y dFS tOO bEnhNt u tcdTo very LudCL money lying in the box, where the public can see it. To learn something about the ins and outs of this mysterious business, a | Tunes reporter called, short time ago, at . hand organ factory, and in very unmusioa and dusty atmosphere had conversation 1 with one of it's managers. The factory l which until within short time was the only one in America, is in the lower part of the city; and it might easily be passed hun, dred times without it's modest signs attract ! ing any attention.

If all audiences were like one which was in Bowery theatre Tuesday evening there would not be many lives lost by panics in theatres. An alarm of fire was given on ac- count of fire in the rear of the theatre building, and someone in the theatre cried: 'sThe stage is on fire" The two actors who happened to be on the stage advanced to the footlights and yelled to the people to keep in their seats and the manager walked out and said "There's no danger at all, ladies and gentlemen. Don't crowd to the doors too fast. It is fire in house in the rear of us, and the smoke is coming through. But perhaps you had better go out.' A heavy fire engine came rattling up to the door then.
