CO ASTORIA- OKEPOS: THURSDAY MAY 4, 1SS2 J. I' lULLOHAV Eilllor. Evidences or lus&nily. Aketuei: jury has succeeded in the easy task of making a col lective fool of itself by rendering a verdict in Santa Clara County Cat. that Senator Baker, lately deceased, was insane, and that his will should be set aside on that ac count. The will, as published is one of ihe most sensible instru ments of the kind ever written; it ties up the property so that none but the legatees can have it, and prevents the lawyers from frittering p. way the estate in stays and' delays .and reheariug and all the rest of it. The alleged rea sonthat the jury found the testa tor insane was because once, when sick, he asked that a mustard plas ter ber placed on his side while' standing. This, the sapient sap heads that composed the jury, ar gue is prima facie evidence of in sanity. It was also alleged ttmt he was at times "morose," and now and then would ''talk in his sleep.'" For this hideous breach of custom the j:irv mu-t adjudge him insane. Where is there a puling infant so ignorant as Jiot to know that when they ask'' for a mustard plaster that thr-y should assume a recumbent position. That a . cultured and scholarly gentleman should violate this an cient custom may savor of insan ity, as ignorance of usagSs can not be pleaded. A law-abiding citizens we 'accept the verdict. Henceforth a party is nor a re sponsible agent if .lie asks for a mustard plaster while standing, is morose and talk?- in his sleep. A murderer has only to prove that he talks in his st.--p and is at times :ii(ro-r-, mid has ;iked that a mustSnl piaster be placed upon his side whili- sunding, to prove his irresptns:!i!!ity. Looking at the verdict in a dispassionate light, we can see both benefits and injuries. It will benefit us by imparting to us a Frenchy po liteness upon all occasions, "and it wili.induce men of wealth to dis sipate their . means , previous to death. The principal injury that will follow is that person are apt to lie awake all night to n-oer-t.jin whether they do or do not talk in their sleep, as most per ijn would liku ti know whether they are sane or not. Senator Baker lias at least proven himself a useful lunatic. Rising to a. position of envy among his fellow-men, having a gift of oratory that few .surpass, being the chosen representative of a popular -part, his insane action in trying to divide his property as in his large brained and whole souled way seemed to him most fit, demonstrated by his failure that trile-by-joroie s the only test of a man's mental status. Ye arp in the hands of Providence. German custom-house officials some- time, ago declared that Columbia river salmon was "iron ware'' or at least should pay duty as iron ware, because it is put up in tin "cans. They have further distinguished themselves by a re cent . decision, that Pennsylvania hams are "cotton goods,"' because they are sent over in sacks. Gciteac says that if all his "re lations had died .twenty-five years ago it would have been a God send." Had hismother died a year before he was born, it would have been" money in his pocket. The Chicago-Journal thinks that if Boss Cameron and Presi dent Arthur have any regard for the future mic.-ps of the Republi can party, thpy will do well to stop and consider if it is not about time to call a halt in the course they arc now pursuing. A close in spcetiou inttthe April elections all over tlie'cbniit'ry will reveal the fact that the Democratic party is neither dead nor sleeping, but that it has been successful in almost every considerable city in the north by a large majority. These Democratic victories ought to teach even a thick-headed Penn sylvania boss that if the Republi can party is to be kept in hand, so as to win the victory in the nest Presidential election, it must be through the agency of greater har mony than has been attained by the course President Arthur has been pursuing. The law against quack doctors that was passed in Illinois four or five years ago has worked like u ; cathartic in purging the "medical i profession of that state. The num ber of plvysicians has been re duced from 7,400 to about 4,000. The diplomas of not less than six teen so-called medical colleges are now rejected and the itinerant quack is fast becoming a thing of the past. Oregon needs just such a dose of legislative medicine.
