Dr. 15. M. Thomas, United States In

ico, who has been at the Carlislio bar
racks Indian training school for the past
ten days, having in charge mx of his
most prominent men from as many dif
ferent Pueblo towns, left for his return
trip to Now Mexico Tuesday. During
the visit tho Indian men gavo tho school
a most carelul inspection, and their satis
faction is unbounded. On their return
homo they intend to try for greater
school privileges. Mr. Thomas, speal-
mg to the school just betoro leaving.
said: '"When I camo here two years ago
1 returned homo and asked the depart

A year ago tho Democrats passed
bill to refund the national debt in three
per cent bonds. This bill was vetoed
by President Hayes under the advico
Secretary Sherman. Now Senator Job
Sherman offers a bill to refund 8200,
000,000 in three per cents. All tho
financial changes during tlio past twelv
months havo been of a character to lessen
the chances of -success for such n scheme,
Money is not coming into tho couutr

plus has been invested in extensive bus
mess enterprises, and there is not tho
samo disposition to accept a low rato of

bears only per cent interest; so theiv
is not the samo excuso lor disturbing tl
business of the nation with refunding

Last Friday, Mr. Scovillo argued tho
motion for a now trial for tho assassin,
and Mr. Corkhill opposed it vigorously.
On tho following morning Judge Cox
announced his decision over-ruling the
motion. I ho court room was only
about half filled and with tho exception
of a few ladies, most of tlioso present
wero lawyers and reporters.
Whilo tho judge was rcndciing his do
cision. tho assassin listened mncuy to mo
convincing rulings of tho court. Ho old
not Hccm surprised that a new trial had
been denied Mm. As soon as the juugo
had concluded tho district attorney aroso
to move for sentence. llo was inter
rupted bv Mr. Scovillo, who excepted to
the decision and filed a motion in arrest
of judgment, which was over-ruled. For
tho first time Guiteau interrupted. Iio
asked tho court if there was anything
necessary for him to do to reserve Ms
rights, and ho reiterated his oft-repcated
expectation of having several lawyers to
assist him before tho court in banc.
Scovillo tried to interrupt his client, and
Guiteau at onco became excited. lie
turned upon his steadfast friend with
angry denunciations of his methods of
conducting the trial. "You arc doing
well enough on your theory, Scoville;
but your theory is all wrong. You con
victed me on your jacicass theory.
The district attorney solemnly moved
that sentence be passed upon the pris
oner. "I ask your honor to defer it ns long
as you can," shouted tho assassin, who by
thistimo wins plainly laboring under great
excitement, but in obedience to tho in
structions of the court, ho stood up and
replied to tho question n3 to whether ho
had anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him, with an air of
bravado, and threatened with God's
punishment all who had been engaged
in his conviction. The judge's sentenco
was brief and as follows:
'You havo been convicted of a crime
so terriblo in its circumstances and so
far-reaching in its results that it has
drawn upon you tho horror of tho whole
world and tho execrations ot your coun
trymen. The excitement produced by
such an offense made it no easy task to
secure for you a fair and impartial trial,
but you have had the power oi me
United States treasury and of tho gov
ernment in your service to protect your
person from violence and to procure evi
dence from all parts of the country. You
havo had as fair and impartial n jury as
ever assembled in a court of justice.
You havo been defended by couusel with
a zeal and devotion that merits tho
highest encomium, and I certainly have
dono my best to secure a lair presenta
tion of your defense. Notwithstanding
all this you have been found guilty. It
would have been a comfort to many
people if the verdict of tho jury had es
tablished the fact that your act was that
of an irresponsible man. It would havo
left tho peoplo the satisfying belief that
political assassination was something
entirely foreign to tho institutions and
civilization of our country; but tho result
has denied them that comtort. ino
country will accept it as a fact that that
crimo can bo committed, and tho court
will have to deal with it with tho highest
penalty known to the criminal code to
serve as an example to others. Your
career has been so extraordinary that peo
ple might well at times have doubted
your sanity. 15ut ono cannot but believe
that when tho cnnio was commuted, you
thoroughly understood tho nature of the
crime and its consequences, (Guiteau I
was acting as God's man), and that you
had moral sense and conscienco enough
to recognize the moral iniquity of such
an act.
Tho Prisoner "That's a matter of
opinion."
"Your testimony shows that you ro
coiled with horror from tho idea. You
say that you prayed against it. You say
that you thought it might bo prevented.
This shows that your conscienco warned
you against it, but by tho wretched so
pliistry of your own mind you worked
yourself up against the protest of your
own conscience. What motive could
have induced you to this act must bo a
matter of conjecture. Probably men will
think that some fanaticism as a morbid
desire for self-exaltation was tho real in
spiration for tho act. Your own testi
mony seems to controvert tho theories of
your couusel. They have maintained and
thought, I believe, that you wero driven
against your own will by an insane im
pulse to commit tho act, but your testi
mony showed that you deliberately re
solved to do it, and that a deliberate and
misguided will was tho sole impulse.
This may seem insanity to sonio persons,
but tho law looks upon it ns a wilful
crime.

A correspondent of tho Pittsburg l)h-
patch, wilting from this city, calls niton-
tion to the rapid iucrcino ol tho expendi
tures of tho stato government for ordi
nary purposes. In round num
bers tho total expenditures of tho
commonwealth last year were
$0,900,000 of which sum Sl,o70,000
were fur "expenses of government. At
lenst $30,000 could be saved to tho state
annually by cutting oil tho unnecessary
clerkships in tho several departments.
With the exception ol tho treasury,
which is insufficiently manned, reduction
in tho clerical force might be salely nnd
properly made in all ot tho departments.
In the sennto and house tho number of
employes is largely in excess of the force
actually required. According to the cor
respondent of tho J)i)Httch neaily $18,-
000 were used last year for tho payment
of pasters and folders during tho session
of the legislature. It is notorious that
scarcely any of the men appointed to do
this work ntleiidcd to it, but appointed
substitutes who served lor about one
sixth the amount paid tho appointees.
hast year tho "scrubbing of tho senate
chamber and tho hall oftho house was
paid out of a contingent fund of $10,000,
but it is questionable whether tho "scrub
women" were tho sole beneficiaries of
tho fund. Since the scrubbing cost so
large a sum it is not much wonder that
tho expense for "buckets nnd brooms"
ran up to some $1,000. The pasting and
folding, cleansing of tho halls and similar
jobs should bo given out by contract. If
that wero dono the state would bo saved
at least one-fourth of the expenso it now
incurs in those items. The fees allowed
the attorney general for tho collection of
debts owing to the commonwealth aro
quite large. Ho is permitted to receive
$7,000 per annum out of a fund produced
by a live per cent, penally imposed on
delinquencies to tho state, nil m excess
of that sum going into tho state treasury
As was shown in the J'at'iot sonio time
since, this was done under a strained con
struction of an act which is itself uncon
stitutional. During little moro than three
years of servico tho attorney general has
received about $23,000 in" lees which
with his stated salary makes his official
income considerably greater than that
of the governor, lie should serve at
fixed salary largo enough to command
the best talent for the position. It seems,
too, that notwithstanding tho fact that
tho members of tho legislature wero de
nied the $10 per diem for their i-ervices
in excess oftho first hundred days of the
session provided by law, the stale treas
urer paid the cleiks of the two houses r
pro rata per diem after tho expiration of
tho hundred days. In so doing that of-
hciai violated tho law which expressly
fixes tho salaries of tho ollicers of the
two houses at certain sums per annum
The governor in approving the last gen
oral appropriation bill referred to this
matter and said in explanation ol Ins ap
proval ot the bill that Iio would have
vetoed the item covering tho payment of
this illegal pro rata to the officers of the
two houses had not the btate treasurer
already disbursed the money. Tho cost
of tho stato printing lias about doubled
during the last four years, though as this
contract is now held at a figure consider
ably below first cost it may reasonably
be expected that next year's bills will
show a largo diminution. To make
long story short, a great deal of money
can be saved to the state by tho appli
cation of business principles in the ad
ministration oi me several departments
and the election and appointment ot of
ficials who possess tho integrity, wisdom
and courage to put such principles in
practice. Some legislation is needed on
tho subiect of salaries and kindred mat
ters, but after nil tho reforms that are
necessary will como only when tho peo
plo see to it that their public servants
are men who will obey nnd execute tho
laws. Jfarrisbur; Patriot.
