GUITEAU's INSANITY.

Amid all the conflicting opinions as
to the insanity of Guiteau, the would
be assassin, there is one authority
who not only disbelieves in the dis
eased mental condition of the prison
or, but gives excellent reasons tor his
opinion. DIR. Charles III. Nichols,
head OF the Bloomingdale Asylum for
the Insane, declares that he sees moth
ing in the actions of Guiteau which
will indicate anything more than an
unbalanced mind, with a mania for
getting a living out of the world
without paying for it. The plea of
temporary insanity, says the doctor,
is nothing but legal fiction. Men of
sound mind do not go crazy at a mo-
ment's notice, even under the strong
est kind of excitement, and men of
even eccentric behavior, such as that
of Guiteau for several years back, are
not, as a rule, to be feared as liable
to break out into homicidal furor.
In epilepsy, as in insanity, homicidal
furor may manifest itself, but
there are usually plenty of warn
ings, and moreover when the furor

Prohibition in Kansas


Kansas appears to be in very un-
comfortable stew over her experiment
at prohibition. The friends of the
measure, headed by Governor St.
John, proclaim that it is success,
and is being enforced all over the
state, except in three or four towns
where the municipal authorities are
sin league with the rum sellers. The
opponents of the law, on the contra
ry, with Ex-Governor Robinson at
their head, declare that it is not effec-
tive anywhere save in the remote ru-
raj districts, and that liquor is openly
and constantly sold on every hand.
To make the issue still warmer, it is
charged that the prohibition outcry is
driving all the foreign immigrants
away from Kansas to Missouri and
other states; and Governor st. John
retorts that, while the foreigners are
avoiding the state, other immigrants
of an improved character" are COM
ing in, Sand consequently the state is
the gamer, as everybody can see. I"
and were a deal better in localities
where they lacked the popular sym
pathy and support. We apprehend
that such is the case In Kansas. 1t is
useless at this day to scout the fact
that sumptuary laws are not locked
upon by people in general with the
same respect THAI is accorded to other
laws. There is something in human
nature which instinctively resents le-
gal interference with personal liberty
in such matters. 1t may be that time
and education and the moral elevation
of the masses will change this; but a
game of chess must be played with the
men on the board, and an experiment
at prohibition must take people as it
finds them.
The truth regarding the enforce
ment of the law probably lies between
the two extremes. We observe in
the Kansas papers that suits are
brought almost daily in the principal
towns for violation of the law, some
times resulting in conviction and
sometimes in discharge the verdict
depending, we are inclined to judge,
upon which side of the question gets
the jury, rather than upon the nature
of the testimony. This phase of tenn
peranoe by statute is not peculiar to
Kansas. 1t is an old story repeating
itself. The general experience, We
believe, in efforts at enforcing prohib-
itory liquor laws has been that
they operate with reasonable
success i'll localities where the
preponderance of public senti-
ment was heavily in its favor,
1t is unfortunate for the cause of
prohibition, as we'll as that of ordin-
airy temperance, that this Kansas law
was made so excessively, and IN some
respects so ridieulouslY sweeping and
stringent. A moderate law, having
no appearance of bigotry or vindic-
tiyeness, could probably have been
made generally and benefcially ope-
rative. Such law would at least
have commanded the respect and won
the corporation of thousand of sober
men and good citizens who opposed
the prohibition policy. But instead
OF this, resort was had to the fanat-

The rapid destruction of our forests
is creating just apprehension and
alarm among eastern dealers and man
ufacturers. The supply of pine and
hemlock in several of the states is
nearing exhaustion and the resources
OF oak and walnut are little better off.
The market for walnut lumber has al
ready been seriously affected by the
approaching scarcity. A "corner" has
even been attempted by few partic-
ularly shrewd dealers, and manufac-
turers of furniture are considering
what course they shall adopt when the
time comes in which they can no
longer even at heavy advance obtain
this much-desired material. Nothing
else is SO well adapted to the purposes
for which it is used; and even of the
unsatisfactory substitutes proposed
the supply is not to be depended on.

comes the patient wants to kill, not
necessarily q particular person, but
some one-it may be a nurse or a
nurse or friend or the first person
met. Guiteau did not kill the first
person that came along when the
homicidal frenzy appeared. The fact
that he laid his plans to kill the presi-
dent and no one else is presumptive
evidence that he understood perfectly
what'he was doing.
DR.. Nichols enters very earnest
protest against the present legal meth
dds of determing insanity, which he
denounces as absurd and pernicious.
The usual method is to keep a jury
for months listening to the evidence
OF experts, confusing them by hair
splitting technicalities and endless
supposable cases until at the
conclusion of the argument they
are utterly unable to make up
their minds whether such a
thing as insanity existed or not.
The result in nine cases out of ten is
reasonable doubt" and the prison.
er is acquitted, In opposition to this
system, DIR. Nichols quotes the
French method. In France the ex-
perts are not allowed to confuse the
jury with Hypothetical cases of tech.
nical testimony of any kind. A com.
mittee of experts appointed by the
counsel on both sides, with the ap-
proval of the court, examines the
prisoner, listens to the evidence and
decides as to his sanity or insanity.
This decision is read to the jury, and
if the facts in the case seem to the
jury to warrant such a decision, it is
accepted. If such Jury of experts
were to sit in consultation upon Gui.

Few of the citizens of Omaha know
that many of our most valuable city
records are at the mercy of the first
fire which may attack the city hall.
None of the city offices have vaults in
which to store the city records. The
city treasurer and clerk have each a
small safe which is scarcely adequate
to protect the monthly business trans
acted in the Office. In the clerk e
Office the valuable tax lists and assess
ment books for many years past are
ranged in shelves around the room OF
slowed away IN such hooks
and corners as are most available.
City Clerk Jewett informs us that a
fire would be most disastrous to the
city records, and would work mischief
and occasion loss which could not be
remedied. With the plats and maps
of the city the case is still worse.
For lack of accommodations in the
city hall the city engineer is forced to
look for quarters elsewhere, and to Sc
cure such protection for the documents
under his charge as can be obtained
without the aid of fire proof vaults.
Such condition of affairs calls for
prompt investigation at the hands of
the council. Until better accommo-
dations for the city officers can be Sc
cured, vaults should not be built ad-
joining the present city hall. Doubt
less the consent OF J. M. Pattee
could be obtained and the cost would
be trifiing,
