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.
