Profits Out of Human Weakness.

| 1t is not only among lawyers that a
| certain class is found who induce quar-
relsome and avaricious people to 60 into
lawsuits by telling them they are right
and must seek redress by law. They do
this only for the purpose Of obtaining
their professional fees, in place of giving
| them the honest advice to settle AMIGA
bly,, by mutual agreement, as IN nine
cases om Of ten rould be far better.
We find the same class of men among
doctors, who when people mention some
Slight ailment, make them believe that
they are sick, or soon will be very sick
if they do not take Il certain course of
medical treatment which they will pre-
scribe. They also do this for the pur-
pose of obtaining Il professional fee, in
to fast for one or two days, to take rest.
and to stop drinking and smoking. if
they are addicted to these vices In nine
cases out of ten this would be far better
The lawyer of this class makes the
client believe that he has been wronged,
and the doctor makes the patient believe
that he is very sick. They all have their
own profit in view, and play upon human
weakness, which, in some individuals,
consists in combativeneSS. in others, in
imaginary weakness of body, and again.
in others, in conccit about their mental
accomplishments.
There is no profession in which men
can make money out of it by telling peo-
pie about their weakness of mind. The
only mental weakness of which people
sometimes complain is defective memory.
but they will never complain about defec-
tive Judgment or defective common sense.
This agrees perfectly with what Ger
man physician has lately argued in an
essay, that insanity is blessing, as the
insane live in an ideal sphere, which
usually is far happier than the reality in
the world of trouble through which they
have passed and which made them in
sane. But the fools outside the asylum
which largely outnumber those in con-
fincment, are happy also. while the SenSi-
bic people have all the cares. How far
it is right to attempt the cure of the in
sane is another question.

We last week asked the Lansbertuiilc Re-
cord what assurance 1t had that Garfield did
not write the Chinese Cheap Labor letter.
The following is the very best answer the
Record could give:
i Well, did you nveri How long have you
been asleep, any how ? Rip Van Wrinkle has
certainly been superseded by Rip Won Run
Llc
So says the Local Of the Hunterdon
Democrat. We supposed that all intelligent
people read the papers, but here is an excep-
lion. We will endeavor to enlighten our
friend. The best assurance we have is
that Gen. Garfield pronounces it forgery. In
evidence in Court that no such person as H..
L. Morey ever lived-tberefore the letter could
not have been written to him that the stamp
used in The Washington r. o. in January on
the day when the letter purports to have
been mailed was different from that on the
envelope /; that the envelope originally had a
different address on it, which bad been erased
aud thai of II. L. Morey substituted that
the witness who swore that be knew Morey,
and that he was his uncle, has confessed tc
PERJURY; that the other witness who swore
that Morey showed him the letter, ETC., has
been proven to have perjured himself repeat
cdly in his testimony aud has finally made
! confession Of his perjury that the hotel reg
+ lister book at Lynn, which has the name OF
sMorey on it was borrowed from the proprie-
s-.rd thu ~. ssiile ont of their
hands, the name being written In with ink OF
IN entirely different kind from that used on
all other names registered on the same date.
Other facts, snch as the poor imitation OF
Garfed's handwriting, The bad spelling, Sc,
might also be mentioned, but If the above
are not sufficient g assurances that the let
ter is forgery, we fail to see what will con-
vince our skeplical friend.

THE ARTEsIAN WELL AND REA.
CANS BILLS.

The Virginia Enterprise says Cover
nor Kinkead wrote to Congressman
Daggett, that in his opinion, it would
be better if possible, to arrange to have
The State to manage its own artesian
we'll business, if the Government would
make the necessary appropriation of
lands. To this Mr.. Daggett replied
that he thinks the Governors sugges-
ton about right. Mr.. Daggett says he
believes the school land exchange will
be made, and that he is pressing it Wig
'o-ously before the Land Committee.
He will not introduce the Artesian
bill this session, at least not until he
can see what can be done with the
School Land Exchange bill. He fur
ther states that the Reagon bill is not
dead yet Through railroad influences
the majority of the Committee on Com
merce has been induced to report sub
stitute bill, but he does not believe it
can be put through the House. Pub
lie pressure and charges of illegitimate
influences with the committee have been
80 emphatic that the committee have
consented, contrary to their original
purpose, to report all railroad bills
back to the House on the fourth We'd
nesday in March. This will open three
of them to discussion; just what the
railroad people do not want. trThen,
he says, 1T will be our purpose to Sc
cure substitution of the Reagan bill
for the one reported by the majority of
the committee, and right there the
fight will be made, and it will be
warm one.
Mr.. Daggett charges directly and
openly that majority of the Com
mittee on Commerce were influenced,
or to put it plainly, bribed to report
against the bill Possibly the charge is
well founded, and II 1T is 1t ought to be
investigated, and if the members are
found guilty, they ought to be expelled.
John H. Reagan, of Texas. the author of
the bill, is Chairman of that Committee;
but the majority, including Democrats
and Republicans, reported against the
measure, notwithstanding the Chair
mans efforts to the contrary. The bin
passed the House two years ago, but
the Senate, which was then Republican,
referred it to a committee, which never
afterwards during that session of Con
gress let it see the light of day. Prob
ably the Senate committee WIS aetuated
by the same influences which Mr..
Daggett asserts induced the Commit
tee on Commerce in the present House
Of Representatives to report a substi-
tute bill.

PabGc Lands Committeeman will be re-

sections now owned by Nevada, aggre-

and the purpose of this bill is to enable
the State to select sagebrush lands in
tracts Of sufficiently large area to make
them desirable for purchase by capital
lists, with view to their reclamation
by extensive and costly irrigation
projects.
The Senate has passed the bill for the
reclamation of arid lands, introduced
by Hill, of Colorado, by sinking two
artesian wells east Of the Rocky Mount
aims. The bill provides that four square
miles Of land shall be withdrawn from
disposal around the site Of each OF these
wells, until the Governments shall deem
it proper to release said reservation.
These amendments were agreed upon
between Hill and several Senator'S who
would otherwise have delayed or per-

its consideration.
