A historian says: When Spain signed with France the peace of the Pyrenees she signed away with it the last remnant of the supremacy she had exercised in Europe France, the victor, took the place of Spain in the councils of the Continent" By the peace of Augsburg Q555l relig- ious freedom was assured to Germany and the war between Protestants and Catholics came to an end. The treaty of Utrecht in 1713 terminated the war of the Spanish succession. ......
 A number OF the most important treaties in modern history are known as the treaties of Paris They are six in number, and bear the dates 1763, 17Ss, 1874, 1915, 1856, and 1893, The first of the series marked the end of the seven years war Among other things it provided for the cession to Great Britain of Canada and region east of the Mississippi River. The treaty of Paris September 3, 17SS, between Great Britain and the United States, marked the close of the American Re volution and recognized the independ- ence of the colonies. The aggressions of France under Napoleon found their conclusion in the treaties of Paris of 1874 and 1915, by the second of which France was compelled to pay an in demnity to the allies amounting in all to near $S0o,O00, ,00N.+
 In 1856 treaty of Paris was con- cluded among the. Powers at the close of the Crimean war. It provided that the Black Sea should be neutrialized and that it should be thrown open to the merchant marine of every nation. The treaty of Paris of December 10 1898, terminated the Spanish war. Spain relinquished her sover- eighty in Cuba and ceded Porto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the Unit ed States. For the Philippines it re- ceived $2OOoO,OOO. Other important treaties were that of Berlin. setting the Eastern question (1S7S), and Frankfort-on-the- Main May 10, 1871), securing peace between France and Germany.
 Latin was formerly the language used in treaties. But treaties to which several European Powers are parties are now generally drawn up in French, the use of which became com mon in the time of Louis XIV, but the final act of the congress of Vienna QS15) contained protest against the use of this language being obligatory. A great European treaty usually be- gins: "In the name of the Most Holy and Indivisible Trinity" or if the Sul- tan of Turkey is a party, Tn the name of Almighty God. ."-Chicago News.

Washington, D. G. Feb. 81, '05.
There was today placed in one of
the principal offices Of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, U. s. Department of
Agriculture, good portrait of our
member. He is now honorary member
of Vegetable, Pathological and Ply
siological Investigations.
From the foot of the Agricultural
Committee he has climbed to very
near the top, and will be quite there
before long, and this committee has
within the last eight years grown to
be one of the most important in Con.
gress.
There are two things that have
given Mr.. Haugen power in Washing
ton. First his indefatigable industry,
and second, what is of much greater
Importance, he knows what to leave
out.

THE PLEA OF INSANITY.

The plea of insanity on the part OF
the defense in trials for murder has
become SO frequent in the courts OF
this country, as to attract wide at
tention and also to cause much serious
reflection on the part of thoughtful
people. Not infrequently suspicion
is created in the public mind that this
plea is entered by the accused only to
avoid the penalty properly attaching
to the commission of crime. The
great Hoch case in Chicago, the Reade
case in Dubuque and the Clifford
case in this city, all furnish illustra-
tion of the problem which has come
to be so grave as to cause serious en-
barrassment in the administration of
justice. There can be no reasonable
doubt that in perhaps the great ma
jority of cases the plea is a just one
and is conscientiously and righteous
ly entered, but in others it is ex-
tremely doubtful if it is not merely a
dodge to defeat the ends of justice, at
any rate it is so regarded by many
people and so deeply rooted is this
conviction that the public mind be-
comes biased to that extent that it un-
consciously and unintentioually, does
fiagrant injustice to the accused in
cases where it is the proper one, in
fact the only one that can be fairly
considered. 1t must not be supposed
for moment that this editor expresses
an opinion of his own based on any
specific case. The Clifford case in
which the plea of insanity was made
aud on which, before an intelligent
jury, after fair trial, the accused
was cleared Of the crime of murder,
is matter of history and on the mer-
its of the case the intelligent readers
of the Public Opinion will form their
own Judgment and reach their own
conclusions.

OUR STATE INSTITUTIONS.
Reports Of the State Board of Control
Shows Some Interesting
Facts and Figures.

There has been an increase of 244
insane patients placed in the state
hospitals during the last year, accord
ing to the report of Iowa institutions
to the state board of control for Jan
uary, which have just been summar-
lied. The total number of insane
patients in the state hospital Feb.

the same date last year. This includes
the hospitals at Independence, Mt.
Pleasant, Cherokee and Clarinda. The
total number Of convicts in the two
state penitentiaries on Feb. l this
year was 9OS, while on February 1,
1904, the total was 867, an increase of
forty one for the year. The two state
industrial schools show population
of 707 this year as compared with 719
last year, a decrease of twelve. The
number of inebriate charges of the
state also decreased, the total for the
first month this year being 1l2, as
against il6 last year. According to
the January reports the total popula-
tion of the thirteen state institutions
in charge of the board of control was
S.O4O, while the total the preceding
month was 1890, an increase of fifty
for the month. The quarterly report
of the state institutions which has al
so just been completed for the last
three months of 1904 shows an average
population of 1867 for the quarter.
The preceding quarter there was an
average of 7,6l1 in the state institu-
tions, an increase of 256 for the three
months. The number of employees
averaging for the quarter was 1888,

the funds of the various institutions

crease of $27, ,551.53.

1904 shows a total expenditure of
1851, 151.24 for the three months, as
compared with $:S9, AZ the preced-
ing three months, an increase Of ST.
475.77. This increase was due largely
to the greater cost of maintenance dur
ing the winter months. Fuel and light
alone increased from $35, 025. SO during
July, August and September to $685.
782. 40 for October, November and De-
cember, or $50, 756. 81 more. Provisions
cost $l5, O65.3 more during the last

was $16.29. The average. cost of sup
plies alone was $3l.26 per capita as
compared with $1,000 the preceding
quarter.

''Devil's Auction Pleases Large Audience.

The Grand opera house was packed
ON Thursday night to witness the pre-
sentation of Chas. H. Yale's Devils
Auction" which, although an old
play, had never been seen in Decorah.
We have had few shows that have
given more general satisfaction. The
audience commenced to laugh at the
raising of the curtain on the first act,
and kept it up until midnight. The
production is filed with meritOriOus
specialties and laugh producing situa-
tions that cannot fail to elicit the ap-
plaudits Of any audience. Taken al
together, the performance was one of
the most satisfactory of the season at
our popular play house.

He was ten years old, and when he
slipped out Of the house at daylight
he left note saying he had gone
west to fight the Indians. A discour-
aging combination of circumstances,
in which hunger, WEAKNESS and fear
all played a part, made him think
better of it, and he returned to the
parental roof at Q 80 p. m. He was
not received with open arms. Indeed,
the family met him with cOldness.
The clock ticked, his fathers news
paper ratified, his big sister studied
obtrusively, even his mother didn't
seem to care whether he came bacI
or not. Nicodemus, the cat, not be-
