THE THIRD JUDGEsHIP.

It has been reported and published that
the Governor has said that there was, so
far as he could see, no necessity for early
setting up of the third department of the
Superior Court in this city; and it has
even been published that he might not
name third Judge at all.
We are indisposed to believe such re-
ports, or that the Governor has given
authority for them, because he knows
that whatever reasons existed for ap-
proving the bill on the 18th of March
prevail to-day with as great or even
greater force. Himself a lawyer, he
knows that if it was necessary last winter
to relieve the pressure upon our courts
by the bill which the Legislature deemed
it wise to pass, and which he deemed it
proper to approve, that necessity has not
grown less.
Either this, or the bill was passed under
false pretenses. But it was not. The
court was and is needed. The RECORD
UNION gave it's reasons at the time for
believing the measure not only wise, but
economic.
Since the bill has passed and since it
has been approved, single civil action
has consumed in trial nearly three
weeks of time in one department, to
the delay and heavy cost of liti-
gants awaiting the calling of their
cases and to the disarrangement of the
entire spring calendar of the court. That
is but one instance of many which pre-
vailed with the Legislature and secured
the passage of the bill. Only the other
day Judge Prewett of Placer County,
presiding in the Superior Court of Sacra-
mento, in setting caaes for trial, assigned
some to Department Three because he
saw the necessity for so doing to relieve
the pressure on the court.
Believing, therefore, that the Governor
has been misreported--or at best mis-
understood-the RECORD UNION makes
bold to suggest to his excellency that the
court ought to be early established, re-
gardless of the ambition of candidates TO
fill the bench. Their aspirations we as
sumo and believe to be honorable; they
are natural, and that there is in their free
contest any reason for delaying to ap-
point is not thinkable.
Because there is a warm contest for the
place, that therefore there should be no
appointment is unworthy of considera-
tion, and we do not believe that the Gov
ernor is influenced by any such feeling
There has been much weighty business
to dispose of in the executive Office, and
this probably accounts for the delay; but
it is submitted that while the cali of the
bill to appoint within ten days is di-
rectory, it is not indefinite permission,
and the presumption must obtain that
the appointment should be made within
q reasonable time.

NICARAGUA.

The act Of the Nicaraguan Government
in declaring Corinto no longer a port of
entry and in ordering it closed, however
looked upon, is indicative of sturdy
patriotism. Despite the fact that the
Nicaraguans are wrong in their resist
ance, unwise and impolitic, we cannot
but admire the patriotism that moves an
entire population to vacate a town and
give up their homes, and of the nation
that closes up, to its infinite damage its
chief seaport it order to outwit and con-
fuse great power that is pressing in
demnity demands upon it.
But when this is said it remains that
Nicaragua must pay. She is so advised
by her nearby sister republics; she is so
urged by her great friend, the United
States of America, who stands between
her and any possible invasion of con-
quest: she is certain to be coerced so to do
at the point of the sword by power
that can crush her as strong man would
crush an egg shell.
The claim of the President of Nicara-
qua that arbitration as to the right to
damages and the amount should be tn Q
first step is of course one that appeals to
peace sympathies. But arbitration must
The record-union., 1895-04-30

be voluntary. If a nation refuses to en-
gage in it, that is the end Of the matter.
Nicaragua has after all only herself to
blame. She has brought this trouble
upon herself by her hot temper and her
fancied security from coercion. She will
pay, pay not only the $3.50 originally
claimed, but probably the cost of the ex-
pedltion against her, and of the delay her
sharp tactics have caused. The lesson
ought to be a valuable one to her and all
the Central American States. 1t should
teach them to have greater regard for the
rights of the subjects and citizens of other
States. and to rely less upon the guar
antee of their independence of which the
Monroe doctrine assures them.

The Poison of Alcohol.

Alcohol is so insidious and so deadly in
its character that there is no other article
or material in nature that is so we'll cal
culated to produce disease, and conse-
quent crime and misery. Its acrid, poi
sonous nature is also attested by the
most eminent scientists as the most viru-
lent poison. One-half ounce of pure al
cohol taken into the system will paralyze
the nerve centers and kill just as surely
and as quickly as stroke of lightning;
and the same poison when taken in the
form of whisky, beer, wine, brandy or
other alcoholic beverage is so antagonistic
to the vitality of the system that its ef-
fects cannot be entirely eliminated even
by total abstinence, but Will remain in
the system, more or less, making it less
able to resist the attacks of rheumatism,
diphtheria. pneumonia or other danger
Gus diseases.

HELLO! the press of the State Ia at last
waking up to the injustice, indecency
and. damaging effects of the indiscrim-
mate and beastly assaults upon the judi
ciary of California, and the Supreme
Court in particular, by the newspapers of
the State. The press is discovering that
it has been doing great wrong In this
matter; that it has mistaken mean suspi-
cion for criticism; abuse for reproof, and
assumption that the courts are corrupt
for truth. It has found out at last that
to bully-rag, abuse and lie about court
is to black the eye of the State, and assail
the integrity of the people who are the
creators of the judicial system. The
RECoRD-U UNION all its years has protested
against the hot and volubIe abuse heaped
upon the Supreme Court by the news
paper press. 1t has stood almost alone in
this protest; it has not hesitated to criti-
else the courts, to point out wherein it
believed them in error, to dispute points
of law with them, to question their judg-
ments, whenever occasion demanded
But it has clearly discerned that to as
sail the integrity of the courts where
there was nothing to justify simply be-
cause their views of law differ from the
ideas, prejudices and preconceived opin-
ions of newspaper writers. is the most
wicked and unwise of methods, posses
sing neither strength nor the seeming of
decency.

THE San Jose Mercury says of the
Nicaraguan difficulty

THE San Jose Mercury says of the
Nicaraguan difficulty:
a conflict is imminent and this Govern
meut must either suffer the humiliation of
standing by in a cowardly manner and wit
Messing the subIugation of q weak and de-
fenseless American republic by powerful,
cODsclenceIesS European monarchy or
promptly assume firm and determined atti-
tude In conSOnance with American Traditions
and warn England that she cannot be per-
mItted to adopt European methods upon
American soil,
Bosh That is pure jingoism. England
is not attempting to subiugate Nicaragua
She is doing with peppery Central
American State what we should have
done long ago; what we must do with
another little Latin State that refuses to
repair wrong done to our citizens. Our
contemporary roars without reason. If
we are to interfere whenever another
nation ndemands justice of a Central Ameri-
can State, it will be equivalent to saying
to these petty powers: "Do as you please,
commit any outrage against power of
the other hemisphere, and you shall not
be called to account for it," AS a matter
OF contrast with the expression of the
Mercury, we quote these sensible lines
from the Los Angeles Herald:
We can afford TO take no stand that we are
not prepared to back with physical effect. No
people can safely acquire the reputation OF
Ulufting. They must mean what tney say,
and 10 what they threaten or else their pres
tiee Is gone forever. viii the men who talk

PREVENTION OF INSANITY.

DR.. Wylie of Pittsburg, Pa, a specialist
in insanity cases, who has written much
aud intelligently upon the subject, asks
the question, "Why should not the State
treat for the prevention of insanity ?"
We profess inability to discover any suf-
ticient reason for negative to the propo-
sition the inquiry carries.
1t is fact of which all are aware that
men and women whom the community
know to be drifting into mental response
bility are allowed to become wholly in
sane without any attempt being made to
reclaim them or to apply such restraint
as will prevent them becoming danger
ousto society. 1t is matter of almost
daily record that some person commits a
crime while insane who was we'll known
TO the community for longtime as tend
ing to become insane. There are men
and women in every community who
manifest symptoms of insanity who are
unrestrained and remain without treat
ment until they horrify the community
by some outrage, murder or revolving
assault upon those of their own family
Then it is published broadcast that the
unfortunate had long manifested symp-
toms of insanity and had been guilty of
strange actions.
However, DR.. Wylie's idea proceeds
mainly upon the economic theory,
namely, that it is cheaper for the State to
prevent than treat, to cure than to take
life charge of the unfortunate For in
stance, where there is the hereditary taint
OF insanity he would have society in
struct such persons how to avoid the
threatened catastrophe, discourage them
from matrimony, and even forbid them
certain Yocations. In some countries
steps in this direction have been taken,
and in most some laws have been en-
acted and enforced of this character, as
those forDidding the marriage of cousins,
and others closely related by blood: for
bidding the use of opium and other fruit
tul causes of mental arrangement.
Private asylums are numerous in which
incipient insanity is treated, and in
which those who are predisposed to the
disease are sent by their friends for treat
ment. 1t is well known that in very large
percentage of cases treatment in these
institutions is effective for good. For
there are durable stages in insanity that
may be seized upon with happy results.
There is period that may be called the
preventive, when proper treatment will
bar the way to development, as for in
stance in melancholia, which taken in
time is generally susceptible of cure.
Just how far the State should interfere
to these ends introduces sociological
questions into such considerations as
these, and involves the question, to what
extent may the State properly interpose.
not only to prevent human misery, but
to protect itself and all of its members
from the woes of insanity?
