INSANITY as 4 FINE ART.

Inc circumstances OF Mr.. CooLBAuons
death, so far as they nrc public property, do
not demand any large process Of mosatizing.
The factS are that he WAS in domestic trouble
and took his life. Tho curious thing to tho
masses is that, being rich man, ho should
havo had trouble. or found lifo burlensonc,
Those who have not had experience Of richce
are accustomed to think Of shcm as n con-
solution for overy grief. The moralisss have
sanght to tho contrary, but the moralists
have spoken ont Of deep poverty, and have
not been accepted as unprejudiccd witness.
ts. There WINS no reason why S1r. Cool
nAuoif should at ones hnyc been declared in
sane, except that ho Ind voluntarily deprived
himself not only Of lifo, but Of large for
tunc, which many men esteem dearcr than
1ife.
The practice Of nttributing sufoidc to iu.
sanity is dangerous and pernicious. Tho
e1ect Of 1t may be perceived in a commun.
cation printed in Mondays TntnuSE, the
writer Of which seriously maintained that nil
t,urtiors n we'll aa nll suicides were produced
by insanity. The first consequence Of OK.
p'aining nil murders on tho hypothesis of
insanity Is TO Justify and require tho atot.
tton OF capitaf punishment. As TO the COM
parison Of tho insanity which controls tho
suicide with that which controls the mur-
deror, VIC intend no dispute with ottr corre-
spondent. The suicide may or mny not bo
insauc. Society, in its organized capacity,
does not caro- wlether ho is insane or not
The suicide proyides for himself by appeal
ing Ills case to higher court, where
no eminent counsel are retained TO acouit, no
jnrics packcd, and no testimony from
exports required. Society cannot punish
him, and society consequently hsa nothing
to do with him, except to bury him when
Ills friends do not undertake that task. Tho
suicide, moreover, differs from nll other
criminals inasmuch as he inaicts tho greatest
injuries upon himself. Ho occupfcs
about the position Mt the bar of &c.
ciety of the man who, having largo for.
trno, should deliberately destroy It or i'm
rrovidently wastu It, md leave his family in
destitute circnmstanccs.' Ths suicide does
vio1ouco to himself aud his own; he ovcr-
comes tho central Instinct Of seIf-preserya-
tion; and ho intlicts upon himself the nun.
'sn"loht WHICH soe'ety mas sct apart Tor the
gsea'es. cf''a.n@ls' IN oil thcso respects ho
Waers from inc nafdereF.
ihe question TINT ought to be raiaed by
Inc opponents OF capital punishment is not
one Of creator or less punishment for mur-
der, but Of punishment in any degree or for
any kina OF cf1mo' II murder ia produced
invariably by disorder Of tue mind which
amounts to insanity, all deeds Of violence
