BEATTY'S PIANOS AND ORGANS.
' Hon, Daniel F. Beatty, the great Organ and
Piano manufacturer, is building and shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr.
Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his way up
50 as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty's Or-
mans and Pisnos since 1870. Nothing seems to
' ‘dishearten him; obstacleslaid in his way, that
would have wrecked any ordinary man forever,
he turns to an advertisement and comes ont of it
brighter than ever. lis instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to be found in
all parts of the world, We are informed that
during the next ten years he intends to sell
200 000 more of his make. that means a business
of $20,000,000 if we average them at $100 each.
It is already the largest business of the kind in
existence—Send to Daniel F. Beatty, Washing-

killed by dogs. We were misinformed.

Concerning the Verdict in the Fuhrer-
Niland Murder Case.
EDITOR STAR: —I see by the papers that
Fuhrer was found guilty of manslaughter.
Some of the papers think he got off very
easy. For my part, I don’t think so.
I heard the case through from end to
end. and in my judgment it was a clear
case of self-defense. Ido not think or
helieve that anv man, according to justice
or the laws of God and man, .is bound to
stand and let.any fiend in the shape of a
man drive a pick through his body and
not kill his assailant in order to prevent
him from doing so. I look at every
man’s life as being very precious, espec-
ially precious to himself, and after all,
self-preservation is the first law of nature
in all things and under all circumstances.
I have made up my mind long ago that
whenever things’ come to such a crisis
that one of two men must die, and were I
one of the two, I would greatly prefer to
have the other man do the dying.
From the evidence in the Fuhrer-Ni-
land case, according to my judgment, no
man of good sense. would ever put him-
self in a position. such as Niland did,
without expecting: to be killed. If ever
If in the same position that he
Rev. W. C.. Garland occupied the .pul-
did, and get killed, I don’t want my
friends nor any commonwealth to per:
secute or prosecute the man that killed
me. Just make up your minds at once
that I was a fool and deserved death, °°
But I do not censure the jury for do-
ing just as they did do, and no man has
any right for one moment to think or say
that they did anything but what seemed
just and right to them. I know that peo-
ple are not all constituted alike, nor do
they all think alike. I know that some
men have such a terrible horror of kill-
ing that they would suffer a fiend in the
shape of a man to strike a dagger into
their hearts and not think of killing him
to prevent him from killing them. Of.
course such men take up the idea at once
that when one man is killed by another
that there is a murder committed, saying:
*“This man is a murderer.” They never
consider the circumstances, even if itis
shown beyond a doubt that he had to kill
or be killed. They think he bad no
right to kill, and in their estimation he is
& murderer and must be punished.
In order to prove that men are not all
constituted alike or think alike, we will
go back to the war of the Rebellion.
There is a class of men that took the con-
scientious oath. They would swear that
they were opposed to war. According
to their way of thinking war was unjust-
ifiable under all circumstances. They
had such a horror of shedding blood that
before they would. take up arms to save
the life of the nation or their own lives
and property they would suffer death
rather than shed human blood. Even
our worthy attorney, who has so ably
prosecuted the defendant in this case, and
who is a royal good fellow and an able
attorney, can readily be classed with men
that are constitutionally opposed to the
shedding of human blood, under any and
all circumstances, even unto the saving
of the nation. Why are these men of
that nature? Simply because thev are
constituted in that way and were taught
that doctrine in their boyhood.
Now we will take the other side:
is this man Fulirer. Iam not acquainted
with him, but I saw him in the Court
room. He appeared to be a young man,
yet I was told that he had been a soldier
in the Regular army for five years. He
must have been very young when he en-
listed. Now, what were the teachings he
received? The firstthing he was required
to do was to take a solemn oath, with up-
lifted hand, and swear by Almighty God.
the searcher of all hearts. to support and
defend the United States government,
etc. Next he was armed with a weapon
belonging to the government. He was
then drilled to handle that weapon in a
skillful and useful manner and in all the
manoevres pertaining to the army drill.
He was taught that it was his duty to
fight the enemies of the nation, at the
risk of his own life, and to capture or
kill them wherever he could find them.
Under these circumstances he would nat-
uraily come to the conclusion that if it
‘becomes the duty of American citizens to
kill men in order to save the honor and
Here
life of a government, he would have an
undisputed right to kill a man to save
his own life. Jor HOOKER.
