THURSDAY - - - APRIL 18. 1895 COME AtfD SEE US. Mr. Cleveland over rates his power in ; making a fight for gold, and he also shows that his perspicacity in political and persona! matters at least, is con spicuous by ' its failure to materialize. He does not seem to be aware of the fact that he is at present held In such esteem by the American people that they gladly listen to what he has to say, in order that they may know just what not to do. What Mr. Cleveland should have done was to have accepted that Chicago in vitation. He should get on this side of the western boundary of New York. He should learn from this that the United States is much larger than the District of Columbia, or King's county. He should cease his introspection, and dis cover that there are brains and talent in the country outside of the Cleveland family. He should become cognizant of the fact that the father of Baby Ruth is not necessarily as great a man as the "Father of the Country." He ought to learn that the Mississippi is larger than the Hudson and that Puget sound is larger and more beautiful than Butter ' milk channel. He really ought to visit the Pacific coast and size up Hood, ; Shasta - or Ranier with Katahdin or Bunker Hill. He should broaden ' his ; mind, deepen hislntellect, and lengthen 'his knowledge; for be is deficient in 1 three directions. . The president has really a good mind if he would give, it a chance, but he should cut the strings on it and let it ex pand. His thinker has become hide' bound and like Alexander, he wants ! more worlds to 'conquer without having seen half ol this. We should like to see him, the people of the coast would like to see him glide across the continent in a Pullman car for five days, so that he might understand that Schenectady was not really such a vast distance from Skeneatales, or Tarry town hopelessly re mote from Sackett's Harbor. The people here will give him a joyous welcome, the anvils will shoot, the local democracy will spout and everybody will .turn out to do honor to the occasion, and when he goes home to Washington he will know more and ieel better than he ever thought possible. He will realize that as president, he is really at the head of ' one of the biggest things in existence the whole United States of America ; a country that can exist within itself, furnish its own supplies, create its own money, and snap its fingers at either Wall street, the world or the president, The celebrated overlap case has been on trial before Judge Gilbert at Portland for several days, and after being argued by some of the leading lawyers of the state, was submitted yesterday and is now under advisement. The suit in - volves about 200,000 acres of land. In 1864 the government granted to the Northern Pacific the lands in question Later the government granted lands to the Oregon A California Co., lands on both sides of its road from Portland south, "not otherwise disposed of." It would seem clear to the non-hair-split ting mind that the Oregon & California could not lay claim under this provision of the grant, to any of the lands already granted to the Northern Pacific and that in fact it would be forever precluded from any right to the land reserved by the implications of the exemption. If tne JMortnern racinc baa been built, the contention would never have arisen, but as it was not built the Oregon fc Cali fornia at once began the usual tactics of the Southern Pacific and set up claim to the lands because it now transpires that they are not disposed of. Common sense would demand that this grasping corporation would be bound by the con ditions existing at the time the grant was made to it, and that it could not take advantage of conditions arising thirty years later, and which at the time the grant was made ccfuld not have been foreseen. The reporter who wrote up the result of the trial of Rev. J. C. Read, near the end of his report says, in speaking of the defendant: "His eyes were. filled with tears and while the verdict of acquittal from fear of the penitentiary must have been cheerful tidings for him, if he had any mental force left at all, the almost certain prospect of confinement in an in Bane asylum could not have been very cheering." That reporter knows but little of American jurisprudence, or he would have known that the acquittal of criminal on the ground of insanity does not justify the sending of the acquitted to the asylum. - That would seem to be the logical result, the common sense sequence, but common sense and com mon law are two distinct breeds of cats. A criminal who is caught and tried, does not enter the plea of insanity in all things, but in that particular one thing. The dethronement of reason was like Saxe'B Vestal's ,;for that occasion only." In all other things the man is sane. He is sane in selecting good lawyers, and surely sane in pleading insanity. Rev. Read may be sent to tne asylum for a short time but that is extremely prob lematical. England is evidently spoiling for a fight. She has managed to pick up two quarrels with this country by following the same course she is pursuing now. and If she desires it can be accommo dated with a third. When she has got ten what she is looking for the northern boundary of the United States will be the Arctic ocean, and her merchant marine will not be largest in the world. England is so used to bullying countries weaker than herself that she occasion ally makes the mistake of insulting the wrong person. . She argues like a gander, but she has no business in' America and will find it out if she persists, in her at tempt on Nicaragua. ? .: ;, Justices Jackson and Fields, of the United States supreme court, should be retired at once, the former because he is physically unable to perform the duties of the office, the latter because he has degenerated into a senile scold and is Uttle better than a virago. ' When a justice of the supreme court can find no better reason for declaring a law uncon stitutional than that it taxes bis income, and compels bim to give up a portion of his salary, it is time to fire him. We do not attempt to criticise the opinion de livered by the court, only the reasons advanced by Field. Beat Estate Transactions. M. T. Nolan and wife to Martin Mor- tensen, lots H and .
