INSANITY is TABooED.
Prominent Wisconsin Lawyer Who VIII
Not Enter That Defense.

Prominent Wisconsin Lawyer Who Will
Not Enter That Defense.
The following story is told of John
Brennan, of Stevens Point, as criminal
lawyer: The story goes, says the Mil
waul1ee journal, that a farmer who
had killed his wife in the northern part
of the state sent for Mr.. Brennan to de-
fend him, offering to deed him his farm
if he would take the case. Brennan
wanted his pay in advance, and so the
farmer made over the property to him.
The murder was most brutal and cold
blooded one, and Brennan knew that
there was but one plea that might save
his client from life sentence, and that
was insanity. The trial was one of the
fiercest ever fought in a Wisconsin
court The attorney for the defense oc-
cupied a whole day in his closing ad-
dress to the jury, and the effort was a
mastery one. The jury found the man
insane and he was sent to Oshkosh.
Once there, he improved rapidly and in
a few weeks was discharged. His first
act was to sue Brennan for the recovery
of his property, on the ground that he
was insane at the time of deciding it.
In the face of his own argument that
the man was insane, Brennan could do
nothing and the farmer won his case.
Brennan has blaeklisted insanity as
defense for murderers.

killing on the owyhee.

Charles Craig shot and instantly
killed young man named Keller at a
tent at which the two men and Fred
Krause were stopping, on the Owyhee
river, Malheur county, Oregon. The
particulars of the affair as here told,
were related to Mrs. Ramsey by Craig
himself. The three men were stopping
together, on friendly terms, in the
tent, and on last Saturday Keller went
hunting and had not returned when
Craig and Krause went to bed. About
midnight Craig awoke and found Kel-
Ter standing by the bed with his gun
pointed at him. Craig had gun un-
der his pillow which he promptly pulled
and fired, hitting Keller in the neck
and killing him almost instantly.
Krause claims that he was awakened
only by the shot and knows nothing
about what may have transpired before
the shooting. Mr.. F. P. Ball summoned
a coroner's jury and held an inquest
over the remains.
Craig went to Vale, accompanied by
Mr.. Ball, to give himself up.
Keller was a young man, about %,
and had reputation of being reckless
and quarrelsome.
Craig, who has lived in this county a
good many years, has always been
known as quiet and peaceable man.

A gentleman took trip to California
two weeks ago, and on returning to this
city was asked about California. He
declared that for money purposes he
wovld rather have fifty acres of good
apple orchard in Idaho, in the Snake
river bottom, than to have the finest
orange grove in California. That re-
mark shows how great an industry the
the fruit industry is going to be after a
little in this intermountain region. OF
course we are thousand miles nearer
the Eastern market than California is,
and then California itself would take
large proportion of all the winter ap-
pies that could be raised in this region
for some time to come, and the men of
that State would buy our apples just as
naturally as we buy their early fruit
and vegetables and their olives. Salt

Henry watterson's Tribute to Abraham
Lincoln.

Lincoln.
Born as lowly as the Son of God,
reared in penury and squal or. with no
CLEAN of light or fair surroundings, it
was reserved for this strange being, late
in life,without name or fame or seeming
preparation, to be snatched from OBJ
scurity, raised to supreme command at
a supreme moment and entrusted with
the destiny of nation. Where did
Shakespeare get his genius? Where
did Mozart get his music whose hand
smote the Tyre of the Scottish plowman
and stayed the life of the German
priest? God alone, and as surely as
these we're raised by God, inspired of
God, was Abraham Lincoln, and thou
sand years hence no story, no tragedy,
no epic poem will be filed with greater
wonder than that which tells of his life
and death. If Lincoln was not inspired
of God, then there is no such thing on
earth as special providence or the in
terposition of divine power in the af
fairs of men.
My fellow citizens, noble manhood,
nobly consecrated to man, never dies.
The martyr to liberty the emancipation
of race, the savior of the only free
government among men, may be buried
from human sight, but his deeds will
will live in human gratitude forever.

never in favor with free coinage
men. and was excepted by them
only because they lacked the votes
to secure something better.
Free coinage, so far from requir-
inc the government to buy silver,
merely requires it to stamp dollar
marks upon silver as it now does up
on gold, and to return the silver SO
stamped to the person who may
have delivered it. The objection
which all persons except gold mo-
nometalists raise relates, not to this
stamping, but to the amount of grains
which it is proposed to put into
each piece of silver stamped. If
the amount suggested were IT'S
grains instead of 412.5 S, they would
not object. They would describe
such silver dollar as equal to the
gold dollar, because the value of the
bullion in each would be about the
same. But free coinage men say
that the value of the bullion in each
would be the same if the quantity
required were 4I2.5, grains, the
point of the argument being that sill
yer bullion is more than I6 times as
cheap as gold bullion now, because
and only because, government gives
to gold a fictitious value through
the coinage which it denies to silver.
This is the silver coinage issue. And
to imply that free coinage men are
asking the government to buy silver
at an inflated price, or'to buy it at
all, is to make a misrepresentation
which admits of no explanation
but malice or ignorance.-Cleve-
land Recorder.

ARE THE PEOPLE FOOLS?
A Brilliant Object Lesson Which
Teaches Nothing, .

In old times, under old-fashioned
governments, the people were eonsid-
cred as children, to be slapped or
petted as their wise rulers saw fit,
but, as far as we know, in those
good or bad old times, the people
were not generally considered fools.
This view of their intelligence was
reserved for the end of the nine
teenth century, and the advocates
of the gold standard. If proof be
needed that the gold party considers
the people fools, it is found in the
Mexican dollar trick. A large firm
in Chicago and large newspaper
in Philadelphia have recently offered
to their employees the option of re-
celvlng their wages in a certain
number of the United States dollars
or nearly twice the same number of
Mexican silver dollars. Therefore,
free coinage is robbry, anarchy,
reputation, ETC.! Was ever such
an insult put upon the intelligence
of the American peopleA Because
the present demand of silver bullion
has given it certain value, it must
always have the same value, no
matter how the demand for it variesI
That is what the people are asked
to believe and what the gold advo-
Gates try to prove by their object
lesson. Why did they not make
the offer Of a certain number of
American gold dollars or double the
same number of American mot
Mexlcan) silver dollars, or even
paper dollars? Because they are
not fools, though they think the
people are. To say that the Ameri-
can silver dollar has twice the value
OF Mexican dollar, because the
former is redeemable in a certain
quantity of gold, and the latter not
So IS merely to trifle with the truth.
People consider not whether a dol
lar Will buy so much gold, but
whether it will pay dollars indebt-
edness, public or private, and they
value It accordingly. An American
silver dollar to-day is worth as much
as gold dollar, and the people are
not such fools as not to know this
