SOME wiseacre in the Ohio Legislature,
Tired with landa5le zeal, has prepared a
bill TO put an end to the emotiOual-insanity
dodge. l. provides that, when insanity is
pleaded as a defense to criminal charge,
the accused shall be examined by a special
jury. If found to be sane, the plea fails
and the trial proceeds. If really insane, he
is TO be sent to lUnatic asylum, and kept
there until permanently cured, whereupon
the trial is to be resumed. On what prin-
cipleS of law or equity any one is to be
tried for anything done during insanity, the
bill does not say. Itmight be styled bill
TO make insanity crime.

They now demand old prices, saying they
are unable to live on the wages received.
They also allege that their employers are

s SURDUED SAD SHREK.

Ii is not often that man, ground down by
wears of tyranny, ventures TO lift his voice
in complaint against his OppressOrs. But
once in a while be breaks his dumb sub
mission, and subdued sad Shrek goes
maandering along the aislcS Of Time.
Such 4 one Is echoed from The Boston
Globe, wherein a gloomy editor mourns
over the inequality Of man and woman, as
shown in cases. of breach of promise OF
marriage. He takes note of the frantic
alacrity with which the average jury
man s0Othes the sorrow of an unappreci-
aled lady with verdict of glittering DANA
ages. And then he points out iiendish and
unjust distinction in law. Does mere
man, whose timid heart has been persuaded
20 throw itself at the feet of a cOquette on
iy to be cast aside, ever get thousand dol
lUyS, or a hundred dollars, or one dollar
even, with which to mend the rents and
tatters in the same? Never, The balm of
gold is denied him; even the poor conSOla-
tiOn of making a graceful and an impress
sive appearance in court andthe illustrated
papers is not for him. There is a stony and
barbaric air Of oppression about this state
of things that takes us back to the Dark
Ages. and causes the disinterested philOSo-
pher TO shUdder at the wretched, crushed
and helpless condition of man.
