cTy Not SATIsFIED.-lt seems that the
Statesman is not edited satisfactorily in the
estimation of the Charlcstown Free Press.
The Statesman docs not in its opinion
properly appreciate the Astounding bless
inys vouchcd-safe by the b. Il o. r, r..
The Statesman does not bow sufficiently
the hinges Of its knees, nor make pro-
foundlv low its sALAAMs. This is exceed
ingly distastcful TO our neighbor. TO say
ANYTHING that does not show submissive
ness to the Garrett combination, stirS il TO
the rage of a tarantula-it fairly bursts
with its own venom. Then too it does not
like the way we express our thanks for
public documents. ltquotes our manner
isms and draws public attention to them.
Our neighbor is sn bad way. knowing
what pink of propriety it has always
been, and how utterly USsELFIsH it IS in
all that it says and does, we must apollo
gize deferentially for our naughty Ian
Suage and install it rs our mentor and
critic for the future. Such disinterested,
unselfish, pure and undecided journal, as
is the Free Press, entities itself to proper
considcration.-Mart Statesman.
sa" Now, brother Eichelberger, of
the Statesman, what matters if the
Free Press does find fault with the MAIL
ner in which you conduct your paper.
You must learn to respect old age, and
advice when given. If your paper
suits you and your readers, that is all
that is necessary. The Free Press has
been finding fault with our paper for
many years, but that does not trouble
us. The public is satisfied with it from
the fact Of its increasing circulation ev-
cry week. So, try and keep cool, this
hot weather, brother Eichelberger.
Don't let your angry passions rise.

SMALL FARMS PAY REsT.

A speaker at land league meet
ing held in Chicago few days since,
said that the curse of landlordism
might yet be felt in America. He
said there was an estate of thirty
thousand acres in Illinois owned by
an Irishman who lived in London.
"The dead line where the property
begins can easily be distinguished"
said the speaker. "outside can be
seen the cottages of those who own
their own houses, while inside are the
novels erected by the tenantry. What
has been done all over Ireland for
generations is now being done in this
country" Landlorsism is no new
thing even in this country where land
is so plentiful. 1t was a leading
question in New York fifty years ago
and has since subsided under the ten
dency TO break up large holdings.
The individual grasp Of the people in
this country is such that small farms
in this country are more profitable
than large eftates cultivated by ten
ants. Large farms near all the prin-
cipal cities are being divided into gar
den patches, and are much more prof
table to owners than they conld ev-
er have been under the landlord sys-
tenn. Ex-Speaker Randall said the
other day that farm in the vicinity
of Philadelphia was utterly beyond
his means. Farms had been divided
up and sold in patches at prices
which no one thought Of attaching to
land twenty years ago. The tenden-
cy all over the country, as population
becomes dense, is to small farms. The
land owner can sell to better adyan-
tage than he can rent. The enter
prising and selfreliant character of
the people has something to do with
this tendency.

THE Experts.

No doubt one OF the features of the
Guiteau trial will be the testimony OF med.
ical witnesses as to the question CT his
sanity, 1t appears that number of the
doctors who have been summoned have
already examined the prisoner, and held a
consultation, and though they are reported
as being "reticent," the reporters have as
certained that "there will be wide differ
ence of opinion among them regarding the
responsibility of the assassin for his acts. !"
We have never doubted that such differ
ence of opinion would exist, for it is one Of
the most unfortunate phases of medical
evidence in all murder cases in which in
sanity is pleaded. There is no concurrence
of opinion among medical men on the ques-
ton of responsibility, and therefore nothing
can be proved either one way or the other
from their views on that head. Even the
most eminent alienists are divided Cd this
point Thus Dr. Maudsley holds that
where there is insanity there cannot be re-
sponsibility, while DIR. Hammond main.
tains as strongly that there may be and
often is complete responsibility together
with mental disease. OF course the
considerations upon which these d.
verse conclusions rest are physiological
psychological, and as in all such matters,
there is great deal to be said on both
sides. The distinction, nevertheless, may
be said to depend precisely upon whether
the witness takes purely medical view of
it, or whether he takes medico- juridical
view. And the inference therefore is, that
the question of insanity is the only one
which the physicians should be troubled
with. The question of responsibility, when
the facts are ascertained as to the actual
mental condition of the prisoner, can be
determined quite satisfactorily by the judge
and jury. It may require trained profess
sional skill to say whether cerebral disease
is present or not, but it does not REQUIRE
special preparation to say whether the doer
of certain act understood what he was do.
ing, and whether, consequently, he is pun.
ishable. The expsrts in Guiteau's case are
tolerably certain to put on record great
mass of conflicting and confusing testimony,
nine.tenths of which it would have been
better to withhold.

THE RgpoRr OF TaE MINT DIREoTos.

I'M hSSOhE VI Toh MlNT OthhGIOFs
The annual report of the Director of the
MINIS shows that an unusually heavy
coinage has been done during the past
year, owing to the influx of foreign gold.
The most important part of the report,
however, is that relating to the silver coin
age. Mr.. Burchard recommends the stop.
page of the silver-dollar coinage, pointing
out that no matter what course Europe
may take on the silver question, it will
probably become necessary to melt down
and recoin our silver. This would be
requisite even if the restoration of silver
generally should be agreed to, because in
that event there can be no doubt that the
ratio of Isl to | would be chosen. But if
on the other hand further demonstration
of silver in Europe should take place, we
should find ourselves with seventy TO a
hundred millions OF deprecated silver on
our hands, and the lower this money de-
scended the faster would it be substituted
for gold in the channels OF trade That
is to cay, that by the blind and reckless
coinage of silver we are exposing ourselves
to the serious dangero of having our currency
once more deprecated through the action
of other countries, over which we of
course can have no control. 1t remains to
be seen whether Congress has acquired
sense enough on this question to stop the
insane coinage of the buzzard dollar
or no.
