NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 49, 1878

sion; every citizen, with plausible excuse,
should, on the order of any court have power
TO make personal inquiries and examination !
there should be some measure taken by when
the writ of hdbeds corpus can reach these
prisoners without resort to subterfuge on the
part of their friends, 80 that no single relative
can commit supposed lunatic and deny the
rest of his family the privilege of seeing ana
examining him. In short, there are many
precautions necessary in the law to secure not
only the fair treatment of the patients, but to
protect sane persons against conspiracy ana
relieve convalescing and cured patients irOm
too long and cruel confinement.
The reform to be accomplished is not one
which can be secured by mere recommends
ton of the Committee, or the resolution OF the
Assembly. Altogether, the Committee has ap-
preached this matter in an Indifferent splilt,
and the work which should have been wen
done will have to be gone over again. we
are still, in this regard, far behind our neigh
bors, and the enlightened lunacy laws OF I'LL
nois, Wisconsin, and other much younger
Western States, put us to the blush.

THE STUNNING UP.

Ended at last. The great investigation has
ceased. The wrggling witnesses have wiped
their sweaty brOws and stepped down, the
uneasy Committee has ccased to shudder at
its own inquiries, the inculpated members
have stopped short in the middle Of. their last
crookedness, Congress breathes freer than for
two months past, and disgraced people walks
backward with averted eyes and hides its
shame. From the first it has been tangled
maze of inconsistencies, contradictions, un-
truths, perjuries. Let us gather up the ends
from all this snarl of testimony and see, if
possible Just where we stand. For the Com
mittee has finished its work and made its re-
port, and a resolution pends containing the
conclusion of its labOrs. 1t is resolution
which illustrates at once the feebleness of the
inquiry and the tremendous force of the political
organization that controlled and directed
yes, and emasculated it. 1t is a fitting res0-
luton; q very proper issue of an inquiry that
had but one object, to wit, to complement the
Presidential campaign of 1872 with verifca-
ton and Endorsement of the methods by which
it was carried. 1t fits the case admirably; it
is entirely in keeping with history. 1t insults
the honesty and intelligence of Congress, as
Jnc HOuCSty anu ihVoihbthNO Va WV PN"PiO
were insulted during the canvass. 1t is just
such a sham and cheat as the denials that were
not denials, and the disclaimers that were not
disclaimers, were during the heat of the cam
paign.
Let us remember a little. The TRIBUNE
was denounced last Summer and Fall by all
these men for telling the false and calumDious
story of their holding stock in the Credit Mo-
bilier For asserting the same thing in
public speech, Mr.. Greeley was assailed and
vilifed as no honest public man has been in
our history. With one accord they all-did
what 2-explain their connection with itY-
admit that they held the stock, but insist that
they held it HONESTLY, or that when they sus-
pected it was of questionable morality, they
got rid Of it at oncOs Not by any means.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-19
THE LUNAr1o asylum INVESTIGATION

THE LUNATTC ASYLUM INVESTIGATIONS
The full text of the report of the Commits
siOners appointed TO inquire into the Asylum
abuses, lately exposed by this Journal, has not
come to hand but from the brief notices we
have had it is clear that the conclusions
reached are as lame and impOtentn as we
anticipated from the first. As we pointed out
at the time the method of inquiry adopted
was altogether wrong; the composition of
the Committee, embracing as it did only one
physician, was unwise; the means employed
consisting only of visits to the Asylums
after long delay and previous notice had
given time for special preparation, the
holding of secret sessions, and the eXamina-
ton of unknown witnesses all these have led
naturally to a whitewashing report rather than
an exposure of the abuses. The Commissioners
have dealt with opinions rather than facts /;
and have been influenced rather by the state
ments of the experts in charge than by the
actual experiences of the suffering inmates
Nevertheless the fact remains undisputed and
incOntrOvertible that men are committed to
Insane Asyums after inadequate examination
by incompetent physicians and negligent and
unscrupulous judges; that once within the
walls they are classified without further
OF deliberate examination, mere imbe-
Giles being sent to the wards devoted
to violent lunatics, and rice UerSa that
subsequently the briefest medical exam
ination is daily given; that the nursing is
rude the nurses are coarse; the cells repulsive,
cold, and not unfrequently damp and injurious
to health that the food is supplied with
greater consideration TO economy than to the
health of the patient, and that releases and
transfers of patients are as loosely conducted
as the commitments themselves. The testi-
mOny of THE TRIBUNE Reporter as to all these
things is unimpeached and unimpeachable.
The final resort of the Committee in Com
mission of Lunacy, to consist of q single in
dividual with power to inspect the Asylums,
is neither original nor is it calculated to be
effective. If by some chance the Governor
shall select some person who is himself
mOnOmaniac on the subject, whose sympathies
by sad experience or observation have been
specially aroused in favor of this class of suf-
ferers, much good will be effected; if, as is
most likely to be the case. some respectable
and mild-mannered physician, with more
policy than enthusiasm, and more respect for
his profession than love of humanity-one in
fact who is simply physician and not
philanthropist-the Commission of Lunacy.
which this report recommends, will prove
simply additional oppression upon the class of
unfortunates whom we call patients and treat
az criminals. The passage of this bill is "a
step TO be taken not without due c0nsidera-
ton the Commission should not be confined
TO one person or one profession; the nspec-
dons should rot be limited 10 the Commis-

RErROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE.


Warsaw celebrates to-day the four hundredth
anniversary of the birth of one Nicholas CO.
pernicus. The festival is the tribute of mod
ern thought to the greatness of the scientific
discoverer. To his own tOwnsfOlk, COpernicus
was shy priest, absorbed in his office, in the
practice of medicine among the poor, and in
secret and strange studies. His only
legacy to his country was a new plane
tary system, which the Church condemned and
which the world was too ignorant to care for.
A hundred soldiers, kings, and prelates
strutted their brief, conspicuous hour in
Poland, and felt that without their existence
society would have been done for, while the
studious recluse pondered tables in his lonely
tower less significant figure to his time
than the ciphers in his computations. Now a
nation does him honor and the names of his
contemporaries survive on tOmbs and in the
unturned leaves of cyclopedias.
The fifteenth century respected no learning
which did not make smooth the path of man
10 heaven. His existence here was a term of
exile. to be gotten over with what philosophy
was possible. 1t was the business of the priests,
who were the only scholars, to make certain his
final reconciliation with an offended Judge, and
his final reception into the only real existence,
the Blessed Hereafter Naturally, neither
science art, nor literature had any existence
save as they ministered to the Church, mag
nifed the glories of heaven, or blackened the
gloom of hell. There was little intellectual
life. for intellect was not essential to saliva
ton, while salvation was the only explanation
or excuse for existence.
The nineteenth century has outgrown this
faith, which it calls superstition. 1t has most
respect for practical knowledge, the knowledge
which makes smooth the path of man in this
world. Finding him here, it assumes that his
present existence is worth making the most
Of Speculations as to Hereafter must
necessarily, it holds, be vague and unsatis-
factory until his transference thither shall ex-
change supposition for knowledge. Meantime
more than enough work for himself and his
fellows lies ready to his hand, and his man
ner of doing il is the excuse or condemnation
of his existence.
The first theory, which seems purely spiritual,

We call attention TO the appeal, in another
column, of the Association for Improving the
" Condition of the Poor" 1t is the oldest and
one of the largest of all our charitable sOcie-
ties and its works are its best praise. 1t is
managed with the greatest judgment and
economy, and is rarely compelled to come be-
fore the public for contributions. But this
Winter has been an especially trying one, the
severity of the weather having increased the
cost of all necessities of life and diminished
the earnings of the industrious poor. Sick
ness has been general, bringing expenses
which there are no wages to meet The
records of the Association and the reports Of
its four hundred gratuitous visitors present
a state of want rarely equaled in the city. To
meet immediate pressing demands the Asso-
citation requires, in addition to its own funds,
$4,000, which should not be difficult to raise
Contributions should be sent to Mr.. James

In view of the fact that Mr. JOhn l. Davenport is
on the slate for superintendent Of Police under the
new Charter il is of special interest to note that
Section 30 of that instrument makes it the
duty of the superintendent of Police TO prepare a
record of the name, age birthplace, and place of
residence of each inhabtant of each pO-
lice precinct, with such other facts as
the Board of Police may from time to time
drect y that section 4S authorizes the Board of Po
lice to issue subpenas and applies to the of any
witness subpenaed under this section the provisions
of an act to enable the Common Council of New York
to take testimony, passedlSth February, 1855. The
substance of the powers thus conferred by the ap-
plicaton of this act to the Superintendent of Police
is that any witness 80 summoned may be
required to testify about anything on
which the the Superintendent chooses to
examine him, and on refusal it shall be the duty Of
a Justice of the Supreme Court or Judge of Com
mon Pleas to require the witness TO show why
an attachment should not issue against him.
In other words, stripping the of its legal yebi
age the application of the Act of 55 concerning the
Common Council TO the superintendent of Police
under the extended powers conferred, enables him
to extort from any person he may choose
to summon answers to any questions he may choose
To ask. with or without application TO any case be-

Tomorrow is the day appointed for the con-
sideration by the Assembly in Committee of
the Whole of the instrument which has been
prepared to divest Mayor Havemeyer of the
powers and responsibilities of his Office. Such
is the character of the men who are sent to
the Legislature of late years that anything
like a genuine, sincere, logical discussion Of
the proposed measure is not to be expected
The main purpose of the Charter is to secure
the power and patronage of the city govern
ment for political organization, which, had
it had the courage to run a distinctive candi-
date of its own for Mayor last Fall, could not
have obtained for him one vote i'll five of the
whole number cast. This purpose is carried
out in the bill in the most palpable
manner The people elected a Mayor last
Fall, and at the same time they elected
fifteen Aldermen on a general ticket What
voter supposed that in voting for the Alder
men he was voting for body fifteen times
as potential as the Mayor f-fOr they are made
so by the proposed Charter. We learn that
some of the best Republicans in the Assembly
are opposed to this Charter, and that the able
minority report of the Committee on Cities,
drawn up by Messrs. Opdyke and Blumen-
thai is having an excellent effect. But if the
opponents of the measure have strength
enough to defeat it, they have not yet devel-

1t now appears that the President designs to
extend an examination into the merits of the
persons employed in the Office of the Surveyor
of the Port, so that three shall be selected as
candidates for promotion to the Surveyorshp.
Mr.. J. L. Benedict was in the line of promo
ton, as Chief Deputy; his name was pre-
sented and subsequently Withdrawn. The
extension of the lines of competition so as to
embrace greater number of eligible persons
is a generous construction of the Civil Service

not its letter. If this course is honestly fol-
