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.
