The trial of Guiteau was continued
during the last week, and was not par
ticularly different from the last few
weeks, being devoted entirely to sex
pert testimony. relative to the mental
condition of the prisoner. All the wit
nesses used, being mostly men who con-
meet with insane asylums, testified that
they believed Guiteau to be a sane
man. The prisoner was boisterous,
saucy and extremely ugly. SO much so
that the court had him placed in the
prisoners desk. He did not cease his
harrangue or abuse, but kept it up dur
ing each day much to the annoyance of
the court and the disgust of all, The
most pointed, direct and damaging ex-
pert testimony yet offered in the Gui-
teau case was brought out Thursday by
DR.. A. E. Macdonald, superintendent
of the New York city hospital for the
insane, who has had the treatment Of
5000 insane patients. The theory thai
the william is playing a part, which has
been evident all through the trial, was
immensely strengthened by this experts
testimony. In fact it leaves no reason
able doubt of the theory's absolute cor.
rectness.

The unparalleled prosperity of the
year and the great Improvement in the
government finances are strikingly shown
in the amount Of interest due on the
government bonds the first week In JAN
uary, as compared with the amount due
year ago for the same purpose. On
January l, 1880, the liability for the
semi-annual interest on the six per cent
bonds then outstanding was over &c.
100000. Since that date the aggregate
principal of these bonds has been reduc-
ed from 1902, 900, 900 to $3.50, 100000,
and the liability on account of semi-an-
nual interest due January l, has been
reduced to $1,000, 419, which amounts
to an annual saving on this class of
bonds alone of $3.50, l56. A still
larger reduction has been made in the
annual interest charge of the five per
cent bonds. From a reduction of prin-
cipal and from refunding at 3 IL per
cent the annual reduction in interest is
$I7, $4,000

Last Friday the first through train over
The Southern Pacific Railroad left San
Francisco, bound for New Orleans. The
completion of this road connecting the
Pacific with the Gulf of Mexico is an
event Of national interest. Its first eff
feet on the currents of commerce will
no doubt be to cause large portion of
the grain from California to Europe by
way of the long sea passage around
Cape Horn to take the much shorter
route by New Orleans. The road will
be of great and immediate benefit to the
metropolis of the Gulf, which declined
in business and population during the
decade following the war, and has only
begun to recuperate since the compile
ton of the Mississippi jetties. 1t will
also facilitate the rapid settlement of
northern Texas, develop the mining re-
sources of New Mexico and Arizona,
and give fresh and needed stimulus to
the growth of California.

TILE YEARS IMMIGRATION

The entire statistics of immigration
at New York for the year are not yet
complete, but will show that about no.
900 immigrants arrived at Castle Gar
den during the year, an increase of II 2
600 over last year and the largest num-
Der since 1847. 1t is estimated that
these people brought with them about
100000, besides $2,5O0,000 paid
for railroad transportation to the inte-
rior. A larger proportion Of these i'm
migrants remain in the Eastern States
than is generally supposed, but larger
number than usual have gone this year
to the Southwest. Over $1,000 have
come to New England, and more than
half of these to Massachusetts,. which
/ shows that the fertile fields and great
promises of the West, have not entirely
obiterated New England as an attrac-
tion to immigration. New York re.
tains $4,000. Pennsylvania $4,000
and New Jersey 1857, while the
States of the interior, such as Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin. and Iowa, have
received a larger proportion of the new
corners than the new lands Of the fal
West. As general thing. the eharac
ter of the immigration has been excel
lent, including many well-to do and IN
dustrious people, who will bring u,
detriment to our citizenship. The pros
pect for another year is excellent for
continuance of this rush of immigrants
particularly from Germany and Contra
Europe. but still there is room and i
will be some years before We shall sufe
from over-crowding.
