journing the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the Illinois state board of
health warmly approves the proposition of

house bill No. 1881, "for the distribution Of
Of pure vaccine virus to the people," with

Whereas, Quarantine measures for the pre-
vcntion of the introduction Of epidemic con-
tagious, or infectious diseases from foreign
countries into the United States are matter
Of national concern, affecting not only the
sea- board and Gulf states, where necessarily
such measures must be enforced, but also
and equally those Of the interior as evi-
denced most recently by the wide diffusion
Of imported small -pox; therefore, be it,
Resolved, That, in tho judgement of this
board, such quarantine measures should be

Recently the Illiuols supreme court
declared the act creating the Cook county
probate court unconstitutional, and the re-
suit is very disastrous to real estate owners
in the county and Others who have had
dealings with the court. The serious part
of the decision lies in the abolition of the
probate court That tribunal began oper-
ations in December of 1877, and since has
transacted all matters relating to wills
which formerly used to be passed on by
the county court. Property interests ag-
gregating over $4,000 900 have been adjudi-
cated5by it. Now this decision comes in
and declares that no wills were ever pro-
bated by the court; no administrators were
ever appointed by it, no sales made by adj
ministrators purporting to be appointed by
it were valid, no title could be acquired
under any will purporting to be probated
there-a cloud is thrown upon every inch
of real estate which has been within the
jurisdiction of the probate court since it
presented to have an existence. The fact
that judge, his clerk, some bailiffs, and
some writers are legislsted out of exist
ence, and are technically, perhaps, obliged
to pay back the money which they have
received during the last four years, is a
matter of very little consequence in COM
parison with the horrible disturbance and
unspeakable botheration which this finding
of the supreme court will cause to tens Of
thousands of property owners.

IT IS very handy thing, and can al
ways be made to pay, to be profession
ally employed by the national govern
ment Wm. A. Cook and a. NJ Glib
son, both OF Washington, but the first
named OF whom commenced his career
Greensburg, Westmoreland county, bar,
and the second, who halls we think from
Fayette county, this State, have been in
the employ Of the POstoficc Department
for some time, in ferreting out frauds
IN the Star route cases and preparing
them for trial. Last week they each
presented a bill against the government
claiming for his services up to that time
the sum Of $500. OF course they re-
ceiyed their money, or will receive it,
and then Cook (Gibson having since
been retired from the business by Post
master General Howel will take fresh
start and wind up with another raid on
the public treasury. If the Green's
burg argus knows anything about Cook
and we think it knows a good deal. his
reputation for honesty in Westmoreland
county is not an enyiable one. That
paper in referring to Cooks little bill,
says, among other things, that it is suf-
hcieDtiy large "to enable him to meet
his creditors like an honest man, instead
Of being obliged to remain in exile to
escape them"

LAWYER SCovILLE makes an appeal
to the American people for pecuniaTy
assistance to enable him to carry the
Guiteau case to the higher courts. If
he canuot obtain such assistance he de-
clares he must abandon the case as he is
unable to pay it out of his own pocket.
1t is not likely that his appeal will be
responded to in a liberal spirit. The
people of the United States believe that
Guitcau has had fair trial and that his
counsel did all that could be expected of
them in his defense. There are those
that believe that Guiteau is of unsound
mind, but they also believe that the
jury before whom he was tried were en-
tirely qualified to determine the ques-
tiOn whether or not he was sane enough
at the time he assassinated .he Presi-
dent to be legally responsible for his
crime. 1t is therefore not l;kely that
Mr.. Scoville's appeal will bring forth
the desired ducats. Harrisburg PDtriOt.

MAHONE's DECLINE IN VIRGINIA.
No intelligent observer of political
events expected the Reputation com
binatiOn of placemen to last in Virgin
ia, but it was generally believed that it
might hold together long enough to di-
vide spoils to be parted at the threshold
of its power. 1t did manage to stick to-
gether until Malone whOoped Riddle
berger into the Senate, but Just then
the machine began to totter and it final
y wrecked itself in attempting to de-
feat Auditor Massey.
The control of the Senate has already
passed from the Malone Reputation
lists, even ts the election of an anti-Re-
pudiatiOn President of that body. and
there is deadlock in the election of a
successor to Massey. Nor does the work
of disintegratiOn stop on the Massey is
sue. Riddleberger has been nagged and
pricked by the opposition until he deliv-
cred declaration of independence, and
he pretty clearly indicates that he will
run a party Of his own when be sits
down beside Malone in the L. S. Sen
ate.
With Gov. Cameron nOtoriously res
tive under the whip of RepudiatOr Ma
hone, and Senator RiddlebergeT threat
ening to swing off in gang by himself,
it requires no special perspicacity to
foreshadow the early ebb of the muddy
tide of dishonOr and shame and disgrace
that Malone swept over Virginia. Cam
erOn is yOuug. able, ambitious and brave
and lie is Governor for four years. He
is not likely to go down in the early
grave of Malone Bepudiation from
choice, and Riddleberger is just great
enough to believe himself too great to be
bOssed by a declining master. Malone
moves on as he has started, and he will
peddle ont Stalwart pOstoffices and rev.
enue commissions while Arthur re;gns :;
out it is no wild guess that Cameron
and Riddleberger will cut loose from
Malone and come to the front as Dem
ocratic leaders about 1884-Pbilddel-
phia Times.

THE trial Of Guiteau, as we stated
in a postscript last week resulted in a
verdict OF guilty in manner and form as
he stood indicted y motion was made
by his counsel. aad brother-in-law, Mr..
Scoville, for new trial, and the reason
in support of it were filed on Saturday
last. The reasons are quite formidable
50 far as their number is concerned, and
the Court fixed to-day to hear the argu-
ment for and against the motion. That
the motion will be overruled by the
Court does not, we-think, admit of any
reasonable doubt. Now that the trial
is over and the law indicated by Cult
eau's conviction, Judge Cox has ceased
to he the object of an unlimited amount
Of abuse and denunciation by that por-
tion Of the newspaper press Of the coun-
try which could see nothing to commend
IN his manner and method Of trying the
case, but everything % condemn If
Judge Cox is not great, he il a patient
Judge. and it is infinitely betteV in a
Judge to possess that virtue than to dis
play the indecent haste and vindictive
brutality of JeffrieS. Judge Cox act
cd well his part nnder the peculiar cir
cumstances IN which he was placed, and
will be sustained by the calm aud i'm
paS5loned judgment Of the country.

The present State of Texas embraces
a territory six times as large as the ter
ritory of the State of New York, and by
the census of 1880 had a population OF
more than a million and half. Under
| the act of Congress of IS45, admitting
/ Texas into the Union, it was stipulated
that four more States might be carved
out OF her territory with the consent of
her people. Assuming, therefore, that
it was given, each of the four new
States would contain a territory, 1000
square miles greater than the great state
of New York, and a population more
than twice as large as that of all the four
States of Kansas, Nevada, Nebraska
and Colorado at the date of their respec-
tive admissions into the Union, COM
mencing with Kansas in 1861 and end
ing with Colorado in 1875. That Texas
has an unGoubted legal right to this di-
vision is not denied by any one, the pro-
priety of having it done and the time
when to do it resting entirely with the
people of the State. What would the
Republicans who admitted Nevada in
1874 with a population of only 6,857, or
about one seventh of that of Cambria
county, say and do if four new States
were formed out of Texan territory and
knock at the door of Congress for ad-
missiOn2 The question is easily answer
ed. They would oppose their admission
to the bitter end, simply because their
reception into the Union would give the
Democrats eight new Senators. They
intend, however, during the present
session, if the Democrats will allow
them to do so, to admit Dakota, for no
reason in the world except that they
will gain two Republican Senators if
the act should pass. If the Democrats
in Congress fail to resort to all oSsUruc-
tive methods to defeat this proposed
outrage they will be unworthy of the
eats they occupy.

IT has been the custom for some years
past, custom always honored i'll the
observance of the Lancaster IntelIigencer
as soon as it has gone over the annual
report of the state Treasurer to expose
the thieving and robbery practiced on
the State in the matter of furnishing
supplies to the Legislature. The FREE
MAN also has denounced the plunderiug
business on several occasions. The In
tetligencer, taking the late report of the
State Treasurer as its text, is again at
ter the thieves who fatten or publ ic
money with a very sharp stick. To say
to what extent the State is robbed every
year that the Legislature meets by the
men who furnish these supplies, as we'll
as in other ways would be impossible,
but that it aggregates an enormous sum
is very evident. The same men, the no.
torious Sam Adams, w, NJ. Gray, and
the rest of u.s." furnish the supplies
year after year, and OF course there is
no let up in the business of pilfering.
The IntslLigeRcer deserves credit for its
tenacity in holding on to this plunder-
ing gang and showing the taxpayers
how they are swindied. a new MEM
Der Of the State Senate last winter, DIR.
Mcknight, Of Jefferson county, became
so enamored with Smull's Legislative
Hand Book, that he proposed to put
copy of it in the home of every family
in the State. 1t was a big project, and
just as preposterous, but if copy of the
State Treasurer's report could be put
into the hands of every taxpayer in the
State he could tell what it costs to run
a session of the Legislature, and could
form some conception of the amount of
stealing that is done by the big and lit
tie thieves.

Franklin B. Gowen, Of Reading Railroad
fame, is the son OF an Irisnman, who came
10 this country in 1911. The son was born
In 1886, and was educated at Mount ST
Mary's College, Emmittsbure. Md, ana at
Moravian institution in Pennsylvania. He
began to earn his living in a store at Laucas-
ter, Pa, and before he was twentv-One years
old he had charge of a furnace at SlamOkin,

studied law, becoming member Of the bar

The Verdict In the Guiteau Case.

The conclusion reached by the jury
that Guiteau was guilty of the murder
of the late President James A. Garfield,
is not only just but should have It's bear
ing upon all future cases where the plea
of insanity is interposed to save the
criminal from the deserts OF justice.
The charge OF Judge Cox upon this
point was conclusive. He said to the
jury
eff you find from the whole evidence that
at the time of the commission of the homi-
eide the prisoner was laborinq under such
defect of his reason that he was incapable OF
understanding what he was doing or of see
ing it was wrong thing to do-for example,
if he were under an Insane delusion that the
Almighty had commanded him to do the act
then he was not in responsible condition
of mind, but was an object of compassion
and should be acquitted. II, on the other
hand. you lind he was under no insane de-
lusiOn, but had possession of his faculties,
and had power to know his act was wrong,
and of his own free will he deliberately con
ceived the Idea and executed the homicide,
then, whether his motives were personal
vindictiveness, political animOsity, desire to
avenge supposed political wrongs. or NOR
bid desire for nOtorety, or if you are unable
TO discover any motive at all, the act Is SIM
ply murder, and it is your duty to find ver-
dict of guilty as indicted or after Sug-
gestion from Mr.. Scoyille to that effect if
you ma cne prisoner Is not guilty Dy reason
of insanity, it is your duty to say So"
In the mass of evidence given by ply
sicians upon the subject of insanity, it
was to be expected that they would diff
fer, and the juTymen be confused but
when physician of Washington, known
TO the Jurymcn, gave his opinion that
Guiteau was not insane, il had more
weight than all the testimony of the ex-
pert of New York and elsewhere. The
question of sanity being settled the Jury
had no difficulty to determine the guilt
of the assassin Indeed the part played
by Guiteau all through the trial was
against HIM. It disgusted every one
who took the trouble to read his blath-
erings, and how much more it must
have disgusted those who were present
to witness his acting and hear his speech
es. The jurymen were only lnortals,
and the short time they deliberated
showed they knew Gniteau too well to
let him off on the insanity plea. 1t was
his wickedness an0 not his foolishness
that convicted him.
