The GuitsAu trial has directed attention to
the contradictory decisions of different locali-
ties upon the subjects Of insanity. In England
the rule is that "iIsanity must be clearly
proved" and the rule is in New Hampshire,
Illinois, Kan.as and six other American
States. that "whsre the jury has q rea-
sonable doubt Of the prisoners sanity he
must be acquitted" The English rule has
been adopted in Massachusetts,, Ohio, Penn
~sylvania and twelve other States, and the
late Justice Hornblower, of New jersey
a Safe practical and sensible beyond all 9TH
ers in regard to its criminal procedures-re-
cited the rule for that State in his fashion
"fhe proof of insanity at the time of COM
uniting the act ought to be as clear and salts
factory in order to acquit him on the ground
of insanity as on the other hand the proof of
committing the act ought to be in order to
find a sane man guilty.

The evidence of the people from Freeport,
Guiteau's old home, is decidedly damaging
to the insanity theory. A preminsnt actor who
has watched the trial closely, says that
Guiteau is a good actor. He says that one
strong evidence against the idea of insanity is
the fact that he grows weary at times, and
rests himself just as a man acting on the stage.
Now, fatigue is something utterly unknown
to q man insane. The brain Of an insane
man is never wsaried.

Civil Service Speech.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-After the morn
ing hsur Fsndleton spoke ON his civil service
bill. He cited Guitesu's motive ia killing
the President. the fact was patent that he
wantad an Office. He didn't get it, and be-
lievsd the President responsible for his fail
ure. He wanted a new distribution of Offices
aud believed the new President would make
a new deal and give him another chance.
He had a belief that the President could and
ought to divide the spoils. He had helped
earn the brutality of our politics which ira
ducss character and vilities motives whenever
a difference of opinion exists, and made his
crime possible. The assassin asserts that
he thought he was doing his party
and the country a service. These are the
fostering beds into which fools are born into
such madnen, and such schemes of wicked
dcviltry are Latched. The act of Guiteau is
an exceptional case, for IN it are imbedded
our system and it is ever present. He de-
pictsd in strong terms the dangers of expects-
ton and love of office, its corruption ard
degradation Of public sentiment, and declared
that We must eradicate this system. We
must transact our cuisines through bust
mes men and on business principles.
lie invited discussion aud criticism of his
bill. He closed with an appeal to the Re-
publican Senators whe have the power and
emolum0nts Of the administration, and TO the
Democrats, whe weuld sooner or later have
tha Offices, to declare that merit alone should
win place. His peroation was eloquent and
effective.

was preaching reform nobodywas practising

A Washington special to the Commercial
Advertiser says GA srsntleman whose pos:-
ton enables him TO know the inside secrets
Of the State department informs your cores
pendent that ths sending of the mission to
Chilli and Peru at this ~juncture was done for
two reasons: First, to straighten out the
conference between Ministers Hurlbut and
Fitzpatrick and, second, to adjust, if possible,
the qusrrels between the we governments,
and to impress upon Chill the fact that tie
United States government does not intend to
allow Oh Ii to wipe ont of existence the
Peruvian government by extortionate de-
mands of indemnity. The Peruvian govern
ment was established under E. T. Calderon,
said this gentleman, and Minister Hurlbut,
under instructions from Secretary Blaine,
recognized him as President. The State de-
partnent is now convinced that Calderon
was seized by the Chllian authorities in de-
fiance to the United States. Trescott, who
las gone as special commissioner is a discreet
man, and a good diplomat, who speaks Span
ish duently, and is accompanied by Walker
Blaine to give official dignity to the mission,
SO that the CHILEAN authorities will realize
that our government is in earnest in the an
dertaking to prevent Peru from being com
pletely ruined by demands which cannot be
complied with. 1t is expected here that the
mission will make a decided impression on
both governments and will be able to accom-
plish what neither of the two Ministers
could"

THE MORMON DANGER.

Dispatches received to-day give the views
of Governor Neil, of Idahs, upon the sub
jsca of Mormonism in the Territories. The
Governor gives it as his opinion that the Nor
mons are making special efforts to control
the Te'ritsries outside of Utah, and proceeds
to make this observation elf the press of
the country would discuss the question thor
oughly, a sentiment would soon be created
that would compel Congress to act in the
matter. Tie MINER has appreciated the
danger, and called attention to it, Idaho is
already under the control of the iMormens,
and Montana may, yet be. The line may yet
come insthis community when the regularity
Of birth credentials will not be required a. a
condition precedent to social or public posi-
sition. 1t is a subject hat the imagination
cannot lovingly linger upon.
Although there are phases of this question
that cannot be entered upon with any con-
g~eniality of feeling, there are aspects of it of
which we must not lose sight. Governor Neal
says 1t is a part Of the plan of the Mormon
church to populate the surrounding Terri
tories and States, with a view of ultimately
gaining political control of them, aud then,
by bargaining with either of the political
parties, to have the Territories admitted as
States, thus obtaining the balance of power
in Congress. From the knowledge of Nor
moi method possessed by residents of this
region the truth of the Governors observs-
tions upon thisp point will commend them
selves to the public judgment as singularly
tr,,tIf,1 o-l ,,l,Lat;, fELa x,o +;tl:a. E.-a
ofone.tenth of the entire annual production Of
Mormon adherents is a pow that cannot be
withstood. If President Taylor should de-
cree to havs a friendly Delegate sent from
this Territory, the certainty of his becoming
our representative could not be gainsaid. If
he should decree to put in u coop. store, tn
church could certainly control the business
of the country. If he should determineyto
have a newspaper, q few tt ousands sunk an
nually would not materially diminish his
tithing fund. This fund is used ostenslbly
to build church editces and send out mission
aries. How many missionaries he may o
have in Montana is not for this people to
know.
The danger pointed out by the Governor is
not an imaginary one. In the nature of the
case we must know that the Mormons are
cemented by the indlsselubie cohesion of
ignoI ance and lust. The Governor refers to |
this as follows: "The Mormon population
is largely made up of the low st and most
superstitlous classes Of foreigners. In their
own country they are forced to submit to
priestly domination, or they have lived under
a despotic government" They move to their
designs like a mob nthe Enity of their ignor-
ance and slavish dependence upon the reve-
latiors of the knaves that lead them, and an
unyielding hate for the government and its
people whom they are taught to regard as pei
secutors.

Guiteau and the Morey Letter.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA Washington special
says 1t is not impossible that Guiteau may
be revealed as a forger. The letter which he
wrote to the Dist. Atty. asking for bail, struck
Cerkhill as resembling closely The famous
horey letter, and several experts have so pro
nounced it. The first three letters in Cult
eau's name in hns letter to the District At
orney and the first three letters in Garfeld's
signature to the Morey letter are absolutely
identical. The letter is now in the possession
OF the chief clerk Of the state department
and there is no one who has yet seen the orig
inal Morey lstter and Guiteau's letter but
has pronounced them written by the same
person. AT til time the Morey letter was
written Guiteau had been driven from tho
Republican headquarters in New York but
was still hanging around in that city.

The Mustard Plaster.
When my coed man is Sick,
He thinks to 'scape disaster
By having on him quick
A red-hot mustard plaster.
La, sakes! mind it well
What happened from his notion;
Twas in big hotel
Off somewhere by the ocean.
Where in the dead OF night
Johns groanS so diabolic
Awakened me with fright;
knew it was the collie.
Quick, Jane, before die

The place seemed turned around,
For scarce light was burning.
At last reached our room
And John, the scamp, lay snoring;
Beside him in the gloom
Icrept upon the flooring
The plaster, how it burned!
Determined not to waste it,
The covers down turned
And on his stomach placed it.
Thieves! Murder!" came his yell
stood there quite dumfounded;
And all through the great hotel
His frightful shrieks resounded.
The guests all wild with fright,
Quick in the room came rushing.
While l, arrayed in white,
Tried hard to hide my blushing.
But when the gas was turned
Oh, horrors! how ran
For twas not John burned,
