The free trade doctrine, "Buy
everything where it can be bought
the cheapest" has this practical, ef-
feet on large number of the farm
ers of Great Britain: They are
comming to our country by the
thousands. As farming lands rent
there at from nine to thirty nine
dollars per acre, it is difficult to
make farming pay. They have pro-
duced, on the very best land, as
much as eighty bushels of red wheat
per acre, yet this does not compare
favorably with our production when
the rent is taken into account
Scarcely one-fourth of all the farm
ing land in Great Britain is pur-
chaseable at any price, and when il
is bought the dignity OF being q
"landed proprietor" has an offset
in the small percentage of one and a
half or two per cent. interest derived
from the purchase. A life interest
is the only title by which about
three-fourths of the land is held
Unyielding protection in any re
pect is dangerous, and the higf
tariff men in this country may study
the land question in England with
profit to themselves, though it does
appear to be entirely dissimilar tc
the questions involved in our tsrif
rates.

THE ASSASSIN TELLS WHERE THE
fNsPIRATIoN COMES IN.
DIR. GRAY TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS
ABOUT CRANKs, AND PRO.
NoUNCEs GUITAU
SANE
DEFENSE TRYING TO KILL TIME.

WASHINGTON, December 3l.-In
the Guiteau trial, to-day, DIR. Gray
took the stand, and resumed the
story of his conversation with the
prisoner in Jail. He said the pris-
oner, in referring to the shooting,
used the expression, "When | made
up my mind"
Guiteau shouted, "When L made
up my mind, it was the result of
grinding pressure that's where the
inspiration comes in; please get that
down while you are about It,"
Witness was interrupted frequent-
ly, both by GUiteau and Scoville,
and finally said, "rherc have been
so many Interruptions that don't
know where | am" He got started
again, and said he had seen q num-
Der of cases where persons laboring
under insane delusions had commit
ted acts of violence, and had after
ward recovered their sanity, but did
not recall any instance of re covery
in shorter period than three
months. Witness had never heard
the word "pressure" used in connec-
tion with insane cases, other than
in physical sense. He did not
think man acting under divine
pressure, who should commit homi-
eide, would be apt to appeal TO law
and civil process for protection
from the consequences of his act.
He believed the prisoner TO be sane.
Alter recess,t the oss-eXamination
progressed without incident. The
afternoon passed wearily, and coun-
sci for prosecution devoted them
selves TO the preparation and ar
rangement of points for the forth
coming arguments, while Scoville
seemed to be asking questions TO
kill time.
At three o'clock, court adjourned
until Tuesday.

THE Malone movement is taking
root in the Lone Star State, accord
ing to Jones, of Texas, and the con-
diuons are favorable to its bearing
fruit. The Bourbon tree is wither-
ing and dying, and is likely to fall
of its own weight It is needless to
remark that Jones aspires to be the
Observation-Disclosures Herald.
In Texas it is needless to say that
Wash Jones aspires," because it is
impossible for him to hold his seat in
congress. He will not run for con-
gress again, since he is satisfied
he would be retired-outrageously
retired-and being evil disposed, in a
political sense, he aspires to disturb
yet he will disturb nobody in a
gubernatorial race except those who
would engage to pack him through a
canvass. If Jones can defeat the
Democracy of Texas through an al,
lance with Ex-Governor Davis and
his late Radical supporters he is well
come to the triumph. The intelli-
gent people ofthe state are not ready
to stnltify themselves in supporting
an ignominious cause, conducted by
those who plundercd the state, not
long ago, until it was bankrupt.

GENERAL GRANT comes to the
front at Washington as an inter-
ocean canal and railway builder.
The company TO which he belongs
appears to be friendly to both the
DeLesseps and Eads projects, and
an effort will be made to have the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty modified.
Congressman Kasson, the other day,
presented a resolution asking for
the appointment of a special inter-
oceanic canal committee, which was
opposed by Mr.. Randall on the same
ground that he opposed a similar
movement last year. He is unalter-
ably opposed to the government
becoming responsible for the bonds
of the proposed combination. and is
therefore against any modification
of treaty by which the Nicaragua
project may be furthered. There is
a big job in this thing, and the
powerful lobby at Washington may
readily enough secure all it asks on
this and many other scores.

"taking the facts set forth 10 be
true. in my opinion he was sane"
Witness had visited Guiteau IN
prison and had there asked him If no
considered himself insane. His re-
ply was, Not what you call insane,
but legally insane"
When asked what he meant by
the term, the prisoner said, "If he
could get the jury to believe that he
was acting under an inspiration
from the Lord when he shot the
president IL would be all he wanted,
and would acquit him."
Guiteau had been engaged with
his mail for some minutes, when he
yelled. Il would like to have YOU
know, ladies and gentlemen. that my
letters now come addressed, Hon.
Charles Guiieau,' quite Il change
from last summer"
Witness was cross-examined by
Col. Reed who produced a PAM
phlet report prepared by witness as
superintendent Of Winconsin insane
asylum, aud read extracts from Il.
During the reading dispute arose
between the counsel, who seem to
have graduallw developed vast
amount OF bitterness. Some fifteen
minutes had been consumed in the
dispute, when the court admonished
them that the trial must proceed
without so much time being con-
sumed by unnecessary disputes.
The cross. examination was contin-
ued by Mr.. Scoville, with an occa-
sionional outburst on the part of
the prisoner, until the adjournment
of the court. lie came here" said
Guiteau, referring to the witness,
cas- an expert for the defense.
That's what he said when he was In
my cell, but good living Mt Willards
and Corkhill's money have been too
much for him"

REGARDING the profession of
editor, contemporary says: "Of
course no level headed editor ex-
poets to find much gratitude or
charity. He must generally be con-
tent with the approval of his own
conscience, and pursue the course
he believes to be right, regardless
of either frowns or smiles, supported
by his conscious rectitude. 1t will
come all right in the end. it's hard
to be misunderstood, and TO find
those to whose support you have
earned of right leave you alone to
the attacks of those you have in
eensed in pursuing the course you
were convinced was right; but you
will thereby learn a lesson of self.
reliance, and from habit of Judging
entirely for yourself that will be in
valuable. You will be able to tel
the truth, however distasteful, and
refuse 10 utter falsehood, no mat
ter how much pleasanter it may
promise to make things go.n

ANYTHING" saId "Honest john
Sherman last April, "which will
beat down the Democratic party
and keep the Republican in power
is justifiable in morals and in law"
and this is the way ne warped his
own morals, until disgrace over
comes him. "Honest John" how
ever, belongs to the "great moral
party" that would have stolen and
would steal anything from a dollar
to the independence of the Ameri-
can people. 1t stole the presidency,
and it would repudiate the public
debt, as shown in the late RepublI-
can manipulation of Virginia poll

say intelligent Texas would follow
Wash. Jones into theparty of plum

SMALL. pox IN DAKOTA.

WAHPTEoN, DAKOTA, Dec. 28.-
Seventy-seven cases OF small pox
have occurred in the infected dis
Iricts below here, twenty-five OF
which proved fatal. The disease is
spreading considerably on this side
of the river, and seems to be singu-
Iarly fatal. Some of the victims are
said to have died within twenty
four hours after being attacked. II
is also said, that before death blood
gushes from the eyes, ears and noses
OF victims. These symptoms sug.
Qest that the disease is not simply
