THE TRIAL OF euITgAU.

The trial of Guiteau has been set for to-
day, and the Court has declared that no
further postponements will be allowed.
There is clearly no reason why the case
should not be entered upon and disposed of
at once. The defendant has large num-
ber Of witnesses subpenaed, and his coun.
sci has no elaborate preparations to make.
The only possible plea that can be urged is
insanity, for though malpractice may pos.
sibly be suggested, it is very certain that no
effect can be made on the jury with such a
plea. What kind of jury will be impan.
eled is of course very important consid-
Grafton. Il will be a very difficult matter
to find twelve men who have not formed
positive opinions ON the case, and not a
little difficult to find twelve who are capa-
bic of being affected by any evidence that
is likely to be submitted. The usual at
tempt will no doubt be made to confuse the
jury by conflicting medical testimony, but
it is. questionable whether any panel that
can be got together will declare Guiteau
insane, no matter what the evidence. The
truth is that from the very nature of the
circumstances this is case in which the
attainment of anything like real impartial
ity must be impossible. This is very bad
for Guiteau, but he should have thought of
the consequences of his deed before he per-
petrated it,

WHAT TIE coUNTRY PAPERS SAY

Stanislaus Neps.. That it begins now te
look as if our people would soon have
another railroad. Work on the California
and Nevada Narrow Gauge has actually
commenced, and with an appearance ol
earnestness that bids US hope the scheme
and organization is backed by men COM
petent to carry it into execution. We are
led to this belief by the fact that the Cen.
tral Pacific folks, since the beginning Of
operations by the Narrow Gauge, have also
found out that broad gauge road, starting
at Modesto and running east, through
Tuolumne county and on to Bodie, would
be profitable investment.
Eureka Leader. That two facts-at least
they are announced as such-do additional
credit to the widow of the late President.
She has said that the bills incurred in her
husbands prostration are charges upon his
estate, and that it will pay them; and she
has requested, emphatically, that DIR.
Boynton should refrain from his threatened
publication impesching the medical treat.
ment of the President and the correctness
of the autopsy report.
Grass Valley Free Lance That the bust.
ness outlook of Grass Valley and vicinity
is very good. There is nothing like boom,
and there has been no hurrahing in the
way of pushing things for the last year, but
quiet progress on an even keel, so to speak,
has been made. Mining has gone stesdily
forward, with good results in the main, and
but few temporary stoppages have occurred
in that business.

INSOMNIA.

Among the numerous derangements In
the normal operations of the nervous sys
tenn, induced by irregular or excessive ce.
rebral action, those which relate to the
junction of sleep are certainly not the least
in Importance, whether regard be had to
the actual comfort of the individual or to
the serious consequences to which they
may give rise. 1t is now well recognized
fact that no one cause is so productive OF
cerebral affections as persistent insomnia.
The brain that is prevented from obtaining
rest, and which is thereby kept in a con.
tinual state OF erethism, is certain, sooner
or later, to break down and be destroyed
by organic disease. Insomnia has been
the primary cause of the dethronment of
some of the most gifted minds the world
has ever produced. 1t is recorded that
ssSouthey laid the seeds of that disease.
which terminated in the loss of his intel.
lect, by watching at the bedside of his sick
wife during the night, after the excessive
literary labors of the day )" that Newton s
mind also suffered in the last years of his
life through deprivation of sleep. There
is considerable difference in individuals
with regard to the amount of sleep which
they require. Many persons are able to
live in comparatively excellent health for
long periods with but little sleep. It is
stated that Napoleon and Lord Wellington
possessed an extraordinary power of COM
handing sleep when it suited them to take
rest. and of abstaining from it when cir
cumstances required such privation.
Forbes Winslow relates that Boerhave did
not ssclose his eyes in sleep for period of
six weeks, in consequence OF his brain being
over wrought by intense thought on pro-
found subject OF study"

THE PRISON REFORM CONVENTION.

The Prison Reform Convention held in
than it might have been, principally for
the reason that it appears to have been
taken out of the hands of the original di.
rectors and run to suit number Of hobby
riders Of various kinds. 1t unfortunately
happens that there are in California an
unusual number of these intellectual
cranks, to make use of recently coined
bit of slang. These persons are "come-
cutters of all sorts. They are strong.
minded women, anti. Chinese orators, &c.
cialists, Trades Union philosophers, advo-
Gates of thousand and-one more or less
crude and ill.digested theories. Unhappily
means of enabling these people to per-
form the most noisily has been furnished
them in the various Halls" which every
Sunday are availed of for the purpose of
free discussion. The debates that are car
ried on in these halls are wonderful, and
they school their participants for more am
bilious efforts. So when the Prison Re.
form Convention was announced all the
queer-shaped heads in the State pricked up
their ears and determined to take part in
the discussion. And sure enough they
called to order, and stayed with it to
the end. To the presence of this element
must be attributed the fact that a great deal
of the discussion was from the standpoint
either of blank ignorance or fantastic per.
versity. 1t must also be said that the
choice of San Francisco for meeting. place
was unfortunate, for the reason that the
press of that city has no enterprise.
This is proved by the fact that no one days
proceedings of the Convention was re-
specially reported, while most of the
papers evidently thought that the objects of
the Convention ought not to be encouraged,
since they cut down their reports to three
or four sticksful. Had the Convention met
at Sacramento the RECORD UNION would
have reported its proceedings SO fully as to
give the public a satisfactory idea of what
was said and done. As it is, the meeting
might just as well have been had at Peta-
luna or San Rafael, for all the assistance
and recognition given it by the local papers.
Should be decided to hold another Conven.
tlon those who are charged with the pre-
hminary arrangements will do well to ascer.
tain IN advance what the local papers of
the place OF meeting intend to do; and at
the same time greater care will have to be
taken to prevent the escape of the Con.
vention from the hands of its proper man.

aamBErrA IN oFRIcE.

Gambetta in Office again will, it is to be
hoped, be made conservative irresponsible
ity. Yet it must be confessed that his posi-
tion on the Tunis question is calculated TO
discourage the most sanguine among his ad-
mirers, for it breathes the same theatrical
and demagogic air that seemed far more
pardonable when France lay prostrate
under the feet of her conqueror. The
theory which Gambetta announces opropos
of the case of Tunis, namely, that the JUS
tice Of deed is to measured by the inter-
ests of the country that does the deed,
would of course serve to justify any war
of aggrandizement or revenge To set up
such doctrine in fact is to renounce all
real accountability, and to return to the
piratieal standpoint Of the revolution.
This is what France said to Europe in 1892
and onwards, and its effect was to unite
Europe against France, and after draining
her of blood and treasure during gener-
alton, to strike her to the earth exhausted
and humiliated. Does Gambetta desire to
repeat that epoch? Does he think that the
best interests of France require another war
with Germany? Does he think it safe or wise
to hoist the black flag again in the face of
Europe? And if not, what does he mean
by his sinister utterance regarding Tunis
He has power in his hands now. he has
been waiting long for this event. Yet the
great question remains, What will he do
with his opportunity? The Tunis expe-
dition has thus far proved a snare, and it
is very unlikely that there is any compen-
sation in its future. Gambetta is free to
abandon it, and in that event it will be
terminated before serious harm has been
done. But even if final success should
crown the French arms it is evident that
this African episode must occupy so long a
time as to do two things: First, it will
involve very heavy expenditure and,
second, it will revive the military spirit,
and throw the influence of the army on
the side of an aggressive foreign policy.
Every country with great standing
army is always in danger of being governed
by that army, and as an army is sure to
prefer war to peace, and has no sympathy
with the apprehensions of commerce and
finance and manufacture, it makes the
worst and most dangerous counselor pos
sible. Gambetta has to guard against this
and many other perils, yet at this moment
he seems rather to be inviting than depre-
eating them. Bismarck will not be sorry
to see this disposition towards truculent
foreign policy, for it is an open secret that
he longs to try issues once more with France
before his right hand loses its cunning and
he is superannuated. In a little while he
and Moltke will have to go, and then fee
bier hands will take the direction
of affairs. 1t remains to be seen whether
Gambetta is about to crafty the favorite
wish of his old and redoubtable enemy.
