Insane Persons on the Witness Stand.

Last week. perhaps for the first time
in the history of murder trials, there
was such trial in which the prosecu-
ton relied almost altogether upon the
testimony of insane persons to sub
stantiate the indictment. This was in
New Jersey. aud the jury returned
a verdict of net guilty 1t is not strange
that such Il trial has attracted great
attention among the lawyers and
alienists. and has been widely COM
mented upon in the newspapers. al
though its particulars have not been
enlarged upon i'm the news columns.
At first il may seem ridiculous that in
sane persons should be put in the jury
box and their evidence seriously con-
Sidered i'm a court of justice. especially
with Il human life depending upon the
result of the trial. Yet it is doubtless
true that many insane persons are just
as capable of telling the truth as per-
sons i'm their right mind, and with the
great proportion of those whose minds
are unbalanced their minds are clear
and rational upon many subjects.

&uhv Not a AamiItonian Dinner?


Each year when April comes round
there are few JeffersOnian dinners at
which the survivors of the Democratic
marty gather and blame each other for
having killed the party whose origin
by some absurd and distorted tradition
is ascribed to Thomas Jefferson. And
now the Washington Star wants TO
know why HamiltOnian dinner
should not be held. Sure enough, why
e!lould not the people who admire AieX-
andar Hamilton, the great contempo-
rary ana opponent of Jefferson, get to-
.ether and praise their hero for the
things he did and advocated. Surely
there are plenty of HamltOnians 1T the
country and il is not unlikely that they
lave the courage of their convictions
and performances.
Certainly Il Hamiltonian dinner. as
the Star suggests, would lead to
good deal of discussion. That Hamil-
ton was great man is beyond dispute.
That he performed great services both
as a soldier and a statesman is equally
true. He excelled both as orator and
writer and was at once the foremos:
lawyer and financier among the colo
lists. Washington admired and trust
cd him above all che men of that day.
HIS courage, moral and physical. was
Of the highest. His death, as well be-
cause of what it deprived the country
as because of its tragic character,
oius"I the widest mourning. 1t was
everywhere recognized that man of
genius anI signal patriotism had fall
en-. Tho popular criticism of Hamil-
ton is that he was Il mOnarchist at
heart and had no faith in the people.
He is held up as the enemy OF the in
stitutions he had helped to establish.
ON the one side is pictured Jefferson,
urging that there be as little govern
ment as possible. with the states SUI
rren1e in reserved rights and the peo-
pie supreme in the states, and on the
ether side Hamilton, urging Il strong
:lnd centralized government. a nation
spelled with a capital y, and power
enough behind it to enforce its DEGREES
everywhere. at home and abroad.
Says the star: "Now. as we hear
jefferson quoted in support of propo-
sitions and measures wholly repusnart
to earlier Interpretations of his princi-
pies, may not Hamilton be presented ir
