Wisconsin, Jury vas not 4sht;; in spite OF IT. IN
finding the woman guilty Of murder, and con-
signing her TO life-imprisonment. If there we're
such chain Of circumstances as was set up in
Mrs. Lambs defense, 1t was the result Of ig-
norance and superstition. It;would be danger
Gus precedent to admit that the law may be sus-
pended for these causes:' such doctrine would
undermine the whole edi6ce Of society. Mrs.
Lambs will Was in its normal condition. It is
admitted that she, combated tho .promptlngs Of
the spirit which suggested the murders.
'Thoug il her perceptions we're befosged:
possibly by fanaticism, to the extent
that aho actually believed . spirit was attending
her, she had reason enough to argue the case
with her intangible adviser, andwillenough to re-
aiat his promptings for time II she permitted
her reason and will to be finally overcome BY a
food ct superstition, then it waa time for the
law, to step in and supply the deficiency. Tic
Wisconsin jury has set good example, ono that

all juries who are called upon to compassionate
people convicted Of deliberate and intentional
murder by reason Of emotional or perceptional

Gon. Van Buren,, the Disposed Chief com1nia-
sioner of the United States at Vienna, has writ
ten letter to the New York papers which is cal
culated to strengthen the impression that be ma"
been badly treated, 80 long as the Government
fails to produce substantial evidence OF bis guilt
He calls attention to the fact that Mr. Jay said,
in his dispatch to the State Department., that
"There is nothing whatever affecting tho integ~
rity OF the Chief Commissioner, Gen. Van Buren, !"
He SAYS that the only tangible charge which he
can discover is that Gen. Mayer, one Of the sub
ordinate Commissioners, had borrowed money
from men who had already secured
places for the establishment Of restau-
rants. But If the Government can produce
nothing more than this, it will be difficult to JUS
tifv it's conduct in sumrnarily depoaing Gen.
Van Buren,, blackening his name, and bringing
odium upon his family, and putting additional
disgrace upon the American people. Gen. Van
Rnren expresses the fullest confidence that he
will be- riehted in time. "But what repa1ation,
he asks pertinently, "can be made for the groaa
iudienity that has bsen visited upon myself and
the gentlemen associated with me ?" We be-
1ieve that Gen. Van Buren, Is the kind OF man to
follow up his prosecutors, il wrong has been
done him. and We hope that the responsibility
! of the "black smutch," as ,Bayard Taylor haa
| properly called the whole transaction, will be
traced to the quarter where it belongs. ;- :

Margaret Holloway and r. Holloway, her hus.
band ware members OF the Odd Follows Protee.
tive Association Of Council Bluffs. In April las,
the wife died. One Ripple; Of -Keokuk, held .
Judgment against both husband and wife, and
gatniaheed the Association to which they be-
1onged: The Association made answer thatit
WIS indebted to Holloway. in the sum
Of $1,000, but moved: to discharge tho
ga1niahee on the ground that it was life insur-
ance company, and, therefore, that it came
within the statute exempting policies Of lite ian4
suranee from liability for the. debts Of the ind
Bured. The suit 'was finally carried up to thu
District Court, and the Court sustained thla
Vie8 Of the case. In the language of the de4
cision, "a wife dying whose life .was insured,
the creditor OF the husband, f. the policy was IN
favor Of the husband, could not reach the pros
ceeds Of the policy" The case will be carried
to the Supreme Courtof the State.

tho carriage with the purpose Of Identifying the
rowdies. The latter, as soon as they perceived
that they were pursued, pulled out their
reyolyers and began firing at their pursuers'
It was mere chance that nobody
was hit: Aside from the rare cases OF deliberate
murder, most of the deaths from violence are
the direct result Of the common and pernicious
habit Of carrying concealed weapons. It il 80
general in fact, that no fashionable tailor thinks
Of making apair Of breeches without hip pock-
ct at the rear, to accommodate the revolver
It is quietly assumed that everybody has need
for such accommodation: Many dispute,
which would otherwise have been harmless has
resulted seriously, It not fatally, from the gen.
e1al convenience Of having pistol or knife
handy. Nearly all the States have statutes
prescribing penalties for carrying deadly "eap-
ons, but there seems nowhere to be any dispo
sition to enforce them. >
