THE commissioners in the Rhinelander
insanity inquiry have at last made their
report, or rather reports, for there are two
of them, majority and minority, the first
declaring him sane and fit to plead to
and defend against an indictment, the
second that he is insane and unfit to plead
and defend The curious feature of the
affair is that the same reasons, substan-
TALLY, lead to both of the widely differ
ent conclusions. The public will find
much more difficulty in determining from
the reading of the reports whether the
man is sane or insane, than from the SIM
pie relation of the circumstances under
which he shot Drake, the lawyer. as de
tailed by the witnesses before the magis-
trate. Can it be that we are all, magis-
trates, witnesses, lawyers, experts alike,
cracked to q greater or less extent, and
the soundest of us liable to be condemned
as insane by the most cranky?

SENATOR JONES. of FLORIDA, must be a

SENATOR JONES, of Florida, must be a
very fresh young man who believes that
the people of this country have short
memories. In a speech at Democratic
meeting in Washington last night he said;
THE Democratic party was in power
for two thirds OF century and the stencil
of corruption never emanated from It,.
1t went out of power with clear and
unstained record. "
Senator Jones has fogOtten the CoVode
investigation; has forgotten that under
Democratic administration the National
h.telIiqenccr, the Pennsylvania, and other
Democratic newspapers were supported
out of the money OF the United States
paid by contractors; has forgotten the
Utah frauds; has forgotten the great
Swartwout steal; has forgotten that out
of every 81 600 handled by public Off
GERS under the last Democratic admins
tration So 81 we're stolen; and he has
altogether overlooked the fact that the
Democratic party went out of power in
cloud of treason and theft. No,
Senator Jones had better scratch his
head He has forgotten entirely too much
to make a safe Democratic orator.
THE Republicans ofHuntiugdon county
have another quarrel going on which
will result in the election of the
Democratic ticket. Huntingdon county
has too many statesmen within
its borders One year it is one
clique, the next another. that is dissat-
isfied by the nominations. All the Hun
tingdon statesmen cannot be put on the
ticket at one time, neither can the
leaders always have their friends in the
most lucrative and honorable positions.
The consequences have been that in the
last ten years the party has been de-
stracted and divided by the pettiest quar-
rels Of the pettiest people. There is
one remedy for this condition and that is
in attaching Huntingdon county TO a
strongly Democratic district for every
office over which a Legislative appoint
ment has control This is the only rem
edy we can suggest for the troubles that
arise as regularly as the campaign ap-
proaches There are some good, earnest
Republicans in the county, but there are
others who seem to belong to the party
only for the purpose of making trouble.
The sooner they leave the party and join
the Democrats the better it will be for all
concerned.

THERE is trouble in Gait Banks. The
Democratic candidate for county treas

Old mother t5 live and die in the poor
house although he was worth $50, 600.
The decent Democrats declare that unless
he is taken off the ticket they will not
only refuse to vote for him but they will
vote against him, and the present out
look promises that this number will be
large enough to defeat him. The Berks
Democrats are unfortunate this year. If
it were not for the large Democratic ma
jority some of the candidates would meet

If the New York Herald would take
some cooling aperient this hot weather,
it would not be in such peril as it is of
dangerous constipation, and might posi-
bly, realize that in the event of Blaine's
election, it will not be responsible for his
cabinet. AS it is, there IS great danger
that its craze, which for more than a
week ran on the colored vote being solid
for Blaine, and then suddenly broke out
on the danger of Frederick Douglass be-
ing made member of his cabinet, may
strike in and paralyze the Doodle concern
entirely. One thing is certain, the Herald
man will not have to refuse an invitation
to take seat in Blaine's cabinet, and as
he has never sided with the winning
party, nor opposed bad one, his recon-
mendations will rot be sought for,

WE have not yet seen any announce
ment of the recovery of Mr.. Cleveland s
comfort and satisfaction" in the con-
temptation of Senator Grady. 1t seems
to us that after the Senators speech at the
Tammany meeting the other night, in
which he invoked social ostracism upon
himself if he could not prove the attempt
to bride the Legislature, and after failure,
the putting of the money so near the
Governor, that if he has not got it, he can
take it by simply reaching out his hand
for it.; there should not be many days al
lowed to pass without he or his friends
challenging the proof There has been
no such demand made yet Can it be that
there is no demand in their market for the
proofs, but that he is like Paddy when he
was assured by his counsel that he
should have justice done him and said,
"laith an that is just what am afraid OFF"

KING HUMBERT of Italy may not, by
his brave self sacrifice in going among
his stricken subjects In the cholera dis
tricts and hospitals, 10 see for himself
that all that can be done for their relief,
is done, accomplish much in that direC-
ton; but he proves himself a brave and
faithful king, and should he escape the
contagion and live to need the love and
support of his subjects, will be sure to
possess the one, and command the other.
We are not admirers of the monarchical
form of government, but we do admire
courage and benevolence in the individ-
ual, whether king or not; and the King
of Italy is establishing better title to
the fealty of his people than any claim of
birth or Divine right that was ever other
wise set up.

that couple ofweeks agoit was claimed by

''the Republicans had no money, that

we are told that the "Republicans spent
$685. 900 in Maine alone" The Star ad
vises the Democratic managers 'that more

publican party to carry every Northern
and four of the Southern States. The
answer of Maine to the vile ISLANDERS of
the Democrats and their assistants, is
given with an emphasis not to be mis-
understood. Assailed with an atrocious
malignity unparalleled in the history of
politics, Mr.. Blaine must have felt the
natural heaviness inseparable from such
a situation. But how his heart must
have bounded at the response of his own
State. Let fair, earnest, honest fight
be made for every State from this time
until the November elections, and the
Republican party is bound to score its
most brilliant and beneficent victory.

signs of the Democratic Central and
Columbia Committees and in striking jux
opposition another sign 'Hornblower,

fitness of things. without re

caused considerable amusement TO pedes-
