edy for the Colossal Abuses.
COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 17.-At the recep-
ton tonight, Senator-elect Payne said
that he considered his election a high
compliment to the Democrats of Northern
Ohio and their loyalty to the party. He
said of the civil service law that it was
like trying to clean the Augean stables
with tooth brush, and that the only
remedy for the service which has been
under the control OF the Republicans for
the past twenty years, all the offices from
the highest to the lowest having been
filled by representatives of that party. was
to elect a Democratic President.
This, he said, would be the
only complete and radical remedy.
He favored tariff for revenue limited to
the necessities of the government econom-
ically administered, and SO adjusted as to
encourage productive industries at home
and afford just compensation to labor
without fostering monopoly. His thanks
to the members of the General Assembly
for the high honor done him were hearty

ANOTHER ExpERT's VIEWS

DIR. Ewing, practicing physician for
eighteen years and an attendant at the
DiXmont Insane Asylum, answered a hy-
pothetical question By saying: ssThe
probabilities are strongly in favor of un-
soundness of mind at the time the act was
committed. PredispOsitIon to insanity
being present l would say that an overt
act was the outgrOwth Of it. The mani
festations following the act would not
necessarily be any different from those
preceding. 1t is not uncommon for ex-
citement to pass Off as rapidly as it ap-
pears. That is the accepted doctrine Of
all authorities oa the subject"
