The Closing Argument in the euIteau


''The law continued Judge Porter,
'';ls it bears upon this case, is supreme
and you are but simply God
made mtn under the obligation
of solemn faith 10 bring in Your
verdict under the law and facts,
summing up the question presented by
the case upon which ynu are soon 10 be
called upon to pass" Judge Porter
said: "The first question for you TO
consider Is, was the prisoner insane on
the I'd of July? IL he was not, the case
is at an end and your sworn duty is ended.
If you fird that he was insane on that
day, was be insane TO that degree ON the
I'd day of July, that he did know that
murder was morally aud legally wrong?
IL he was not insane to that degree, you
are bound by your oaihs TO convict him.
Third, if, in utter disregard of his con-
fession and under oath you shall find
that he actually and honestly believed
that God had commanded him TO
kill the President and that he
was under delusiOn unless
yen find further that such delusion dis
aIled him from knowing that such an
act was morally and legally wrong, you
are bound, under your oaths, to convict
him. Fourth, if you find that such de-
lusion did exist that God commanded
L4fC 6Al4 t41AL Bull was Lie
sole product Of insanity then and then
only, you can acquit him when you
find he was unable to control his own
will, and you must remember that IN
der oath he has sworn he was able to
control It, for he said: Had Mrs Gar
field been with him on the Cd Of July,
would not have shot him. Fifth, if you
find that he even thought he was par
tally insane and it resulted from his
own Inalignity, his osyn depravity, yet
still you are bound under the ins.rue-
lions of the court to convict him. Sixth,
if, upon the whole case, you have no
reasonable doubt whether he was par
TALLY or wholly insane, if you believe |
that he knew his act was legally and |
morally wrong, you are, under your |
oafhs, bound to convict him.

urally into contrasting my con
dition with that Of some other peo

would fare if / should be taken
away-then I could not help think

paper says in speaking of Mrs. Gar.
field she has $500, 900 in government
bonds. the result of the subscrip
ton. Her husbands life was in
sured for $50, 900 which she prompt
lv received. She was also paid the
presidents salary for the unoccu
pied first year, amounting TO about
S2O. 600, then add 10 that $4,000
the value of GarGeld's estate, tha'
makes 100000. Now the incom'
from this large sum will not b'
far from $4,000. Most people
would think it was quite a comior
table income. Now you men tina

We are opposed to all class legislation

They violate the first of the above
themselves by endorsing the COG, the
very first section of which selects class
of bonds and proposes to pay them in
full while it skins the balance. The last
is glittering fraud, for the constitu-
ton of the United States explicitly says
that no state shall pass law the tend
ency of which is to impair the obliga-
ton of contracts. They could with as
much sense have "placed themselves in

ernment this woman is given a pen
sion of $4,000 a year. Now let us
get a slate and figure: $4,000 a wear
is $I3.fS per day for every day in
the year. Now you men that blow
and grub for from rs cents to a dol
lar per day, study over this matter
well till next election day and then
most OF you will go to the polls and
vote for the same men or Others of
the same kind to represent YOU in
congress. Well, well, let's 90 back
to the income of $4,000 per wear
from the 100000 heretofore men
TONED, which would be $3.50 per
day.
Now, how thankful a soldier feels
that has served this country lone
and been disabled by wounds or
disease, to get the noble and prince
ly sum of 500 per year. Mr.. Gar
field resigned his commission as
general in the army and went to
congress. Garfield is gone and no
one regrets his death more than l
do; but we want to ask what right
has our congress to vote away the
money that was put in the treas
ury by the sweat and toll of the
men that plow and dig, to wealthy
widows with incomes of $I3.S0
per day. Mrs. Lincoln's case is
about a parallel, only not so much
so, and what shall we say of a wo-
man in Mrs. Garfeld's place that
would accept this pension from tho
government when she can't help but
know that there are soldiers and
soldiers widows all over the coun-
try that are in dire need of $9G per
year, while she, with an income OF
$3.50 per day, accepts $13.69 more.
This is the way the money goes,
while men that have applied for
pensions and furnished all the proof
called for have to wait for years.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l carried 4 mus
ket nearly four years, was in bigger
battles and more of them than Mr..
Garfield was. If 1 should be taken
away and did not leave enough TO
keep the wife and children, why
they should go TO the big house
north of Bedford. If we haven't
got pensioned aristocracy in this
country, we have almost. Now, this
has been written not rs an appeal to
any ones passion; but have every
reason to believe that the state
ments of Mrs. Garfield's wealth are
true. What was given her by indi-
viduals is no business of mine. But
for our congress TO give large pen
sions TO people who are already
wealthy is no better than stealing.

Arabi Bey is thought by experts t,

EDITOR CITIZEN.-Please state who
Arab Bey is and what he wants.
ARAB.
Arab Bey is thought by experts to be
a man. His mother was a pronounced
female woman and his father male. In
Arabi's early youth he was boy and
his father was often heard to say he
was also a male infant. He soon i'm
bibcd an inclination to tie eats together
by the tail and insert pins vertically in
chairs, and this idiosyncracy dispelled
all doubt of his gender. He had a
mother; we came near neglecting to
state that, although we observed that
she was a woman, and we see no reason
why we shoVld take it back. If his ia
ther was ever married to her, history
makes no mention of 1t, though we sup
pose he was, as men do not intermarry
over there unless one of them is wo-
man. She was also probably married
to him, partly. Men over there some
times spread out their marrying pro-
pensities very numerously. Arab then
must in the very nature of the case be
! his fathers son, unless his parents were
unmarried, and then he possibly would
be the son Of his mother by-by-well,
by thunder Arab wants to hurt
somebody, evidently. We hardly think
he got all those looters together to go
fishing. If he was shooting at the 4th
of July he missed it five days, but some
stray balls glanced through Is inches OF
steel-plated gOndolas. He wants also
probably to have his breeches patched
after he is kicked over the ragged edge OF
the Egyptian border.

Wheat threshold apparently dry
in August and placed in a garner
will lose 6 per cent. Of its weight by
still further drying in six months.
1t follows, therefore, that 04 cents "a
bushel in August is the equivalent of
81 in February, to say nothing Of
cost of storage, loss from destruc-
tion by mice, rats, worms, etc, and
interest on the money. Taking
these into consideration, 80 cents in
August for wheat would be very
nearly the equivalent of 81 in Feb
ruary. Corn gathered dry in No
vember will lose a5out 20 per cent,
Ca little more or less, according To
dryness in the fall), in six months.
Thus 40 cents a bushcl in Noyem-
Der would be the equivalent of 80
cents in May, emitting any account
for interest, or damage, or loss from
vermin. Potatoes will shrink in
bulk or weight about one-third.

The Pulaski CITIZEN has made afeeble
attempt to Justify the outrageous favor
itism and discrimination in the read
iustment platform by pointing out that
the act of settlement proposes 20 pay in
full the interest on bonds held by the
educational institutions and for the
school fund. This is only emphasizing
the determinations of the platform and
showing how it is regarded and how
indefensible it is. AS an argament 1t
is like the practice of little boys who
meet a charge made with you're
another" As to these bonds all parties
and factions have been agreed in opin-
ion and for years in practice.
1t has also dawned upon those who
use the CITIZENS impotent thunder that
it is only blow dealt themselves, doing
no harm to anybody else. They feel
impelled to use it with an apology
which admits the folly of it and its alb
surdity. This sort of trivial argument
where issue is joined on great questions
is like picking off stragglers when great
armies confront each other; it does not
affect the main issue and the apologetic,
half-hearted tone confesses the weak
ness of those who are driven TO 1t. lt

The arrival in New York last
week of a ship containing over nine
hundred mormons from Norwa and
Sweden brings up again that
troublesome question. While con
gress has prohibited the immigrant
from China from landing on our
shores, and while the government
is coquetting with the polygamy
question in Utah, the mormons are
pouring into the country literally
by thousands. This fact proves
that mormonism is neither dead nor
decaying. The spirit of "the Church
of Latter-Day Saints is not broken
when it continues to send out prose
lyting missionaries over the world,
pays their expenses; the aRti-polyg-
amy laws of the United States go
for nothing; the mormon common
wealth becomes all the stronger by
the constant arrivals Of new be
