LTN1CY LAWS.

Several cases III England Of late have at
tlactcd attention to certain dangers arising out
of the lunacy laws of that country. 1t appears
that any one can be put in private asylum
upon the certificate Of two physicians, and an
order signed by a third person, not physician
but who may have special motives for desiring
the incarceration of the patient. Nor is it re-
CURED that the medical men who pronounce the
patient insane shall be specialists. They may
know nothing or next to nothing Of alicnism
but the mere fact that they can lawfully append
" NJ. d. to their names gives them authority 10
sign away The liberty of any one. OF course, if
the two doctors are strangers To the patient,
and know little about insanity, their opinions
must be virtually worthless unless the symp-
toms of mania or dementia are SO marked that
no medical skill is needed to recognize them
In many such cases, however, the disease if
present, is so obscure that only prolonged and
careful Investigation could detect it. I'm some
instances there may exist only ecccntricity (;
and it is apparent that perfectly sane person
might easily be led to exhibit traces Of excite
mcnt which ignorant doctors might accept AS
evidence Of madness. Charles Reade, in the
case of Alfred lIardie in "Very Hard Cash.
showed the possibilities here, aud the recent
Weldon case has demonstrated that there is
still plenty Of room for amendment in the law.
In the United States the usual publicity Of
proceedings taken to establish lunacy operates
rs "a safeguard in the majority of cases, though
even in this country there occur sometimes
startling abuses. Only last summer man
claimed to have been put in private asylum by
an enemy, while perfectly sane and this was

-ANnrHrR MOVE ON TIE VIE.

Mr.. Punch has scored signal success. The
cartoon representing General Gordon looking
ont over the desert for glimpse OF British
troops ha touched the hearts of Englshmen.
The military authorities at Cairo ana the Horse
Guards decided thit relief expedition was i'm
practicable, but public sentiment has dictated Il
rescue. Mr. Gladstone could silence his cncraies
in the Common, and carry tho Franchise Bill to
a second reading by a great majority, but ne
! could not argue away Che English sense OF Us
ticc. General Gordon has been sent unalmed
and without a guard to post OF danger. HE
Judgment of the country Is that he should not
be lett to lis fate-that he should not be de-
serted but rescued, let the military difficulties
and the politic, consequences be what they
may. The Ministry, after deciding against an
expedition from Suakim to BeTber and with
drawing the British troops from the seabomd d,
are reluctantly yielding 10 public pressure. AT
first there were rumOrS OF an autumn cam
paign; next came tdingS of IN Egyptian col
umn to be sent across the koroScO desert to the
Nile and Berber; then the relief expedition was
converted into mixed force OF British and
Egyptian soldiers and although a final decision
has been deferred until Monday, when Sir Eve
Ign BaIing and General Graham are expected
in London, it is safe to assume that British
army will be put in motion at the earliest prac-
tcable moment for the relief of Berber and
kEartOum.
There have been so many transitions in the
British Governments Soudan policy that new
change of plan will not cause surprise. The
Ministry have been dragged from one stage to
another under the pressure of public opinion
until their course has been marked b. a curious
zig-zag of vacillation and sudden resolve. Neg
lect to rescue Smkat and Tokar was followed by
the aimess and Improbable slaughter Of sew
cral thousands Of Arabs. Time will show what
is To be the outcome OF neglect to rescue Bcrber
and KhartOum. 1t is possible that the trag
edy enacted on the seaboard is to be repeated
on the Nile-that the garIi>onS will be slaugh-
tered before their rescue can be Effected. But
if Berber and Khartoum axe spared and General
Gordon is released by d. British column after
several thousands of the SOudanese have been
slain, the cuckoo song of "Iescue and retire
Will have hollow sound What Justification is

Guilty. as THE TRIBUNE has maintained for
years. il to treat the Indians as individuals, not
as a nston-to put each red man legally on the
same plane as the white and the black man 10
give him the same civil rights and chances to
learn. to work, and to worship God and then to
let him alone TO stand or fall according to the
stuff that is in him. The Nation then will be rid
of the responsibility of this great helpless mass
of heathenism which ii has cOddlcd and tortured
and wronged and cried over too long. Inc
first step to this end is to educate the coming
generation of Indians There is little nope OF
influencing the adults. But the children are wait
ing to be taught. They learn eagerly thclr
parents, however savage, are eager that their
children shall have this chance. Carlisle ana
Hamilton schools are full of the sons aud daugh-
tcrs of Navajo, Cheyenne and Apache chiefs.
Each child there is o hostage for the good will
and peaceablc behavior of its tribe. They are
being trained rs mechanics, farmers, seam
stresses, houseleepers, and areinsensibly lmbio-
ing all the beliefs, habits, and ambitions OF
civilization.
Why shall not these children have tho free
schooling which we give to the whites and
blacksi 1t is not free to them in fact, for they
have paid an cxorbitant price for it already.
We hope the Senate viii grant the appropriation
asked for without any decrease.

EDUCATE THE INDIANS

The facts concerning the bill now before the
Senate for the appropriation for the Indian
school fund are briefly these: The tribes for
whom this appropriation is asked coded, fifteen
years ago, large tracts Of land to the Govern
ment part of the payment for which was to be
made in school houses and teachers for their
children. In almost every instance this was
done at the request of the Indians themselves,
who preferred the chance of education to
money. The payment with the exception of Il
small amount has been withheld. The sum
due to them for educational purposes at the
close of the current fiscal year will amount to

GENERAL FREMONT.

Mr.. Shermon's bill to rcinstate John {. Ere
mont in his rank as Major-General Will prob
ably be brought before Congress this week. II
is, we understand, heartily supported by many
Southern members who arc willing to forget
that Fremont once represented all the political
doctrines most obnoxious to them in the fact
that he has rendered great services 70 his country
which demand recognition. If the South can
thus rise above personal prejudice, it would be
a pity that old petty jealousics i'll the Northern
army during tho civil war should now be
dragged out to hinder this late act of justice.
Apart from his war record General Fremont
served his country faithfully as a scientific ex-
pl0rcr, the Pacific coast being his magnificent
gift to the Nation. He is now over seventy
years of age, a poor man. This recognition OF
his work which it is proposed to give, would
enable him TO spend the remainder of his Life,
not in luxury, but in comparative comfort.

SpECrL1TIOY AND FALSE NEWS.

IL appears that the recent reports Of TeyOut ION
ary movements in Mexico were for the most part
ctions put in circulation for the purpose Of Affect
ing the market for Mexican securities. That tins
Kind IF inposture should occasionally succeed Is
in no way wonderful. What is really remarkable
ia the fact that il is possible 40 seldom. Attempts
to circulate false news for speculative purposes
have often been made. and were not uncoinn0H long
before the present era of eographs and swift trains
and steamers. In fact 1t Is probable that theSo
tricks were more frequently attempted. compare

then more promising. NOws at that time took much
longer to travel and tho means Of analyzinS 1t

succeeded in getting false report published could
generally depend upon several days 81 grace before
its true character wa, ascertaned, and during that
period he made his harvest. But now everything Is
changed. The telegraph enables those VINO doubt
the accuracy Of news TO discover tic truth almost
instantly. And there is yet another very import
ant new factor in the situation Today news Is
collected for journalistic association in thorough
" systematic and business way. The agents en-
played are necessarily responsible and experienced

doubt much of the Of the hour consists OF re-
ports and hints rather than full and exact state

THE SIGNIFICANCE or THE VOTE

Yesterday THE TRIBUNE called attention to
these two significant facts: First, that the
Blaine vote in the Utica Convention was chiefly
cast by the representatives of the Republican
counties second, that the opposition vote was
chiefly cast by the representatives of counties
that are recognized as Democratic strongho!ds.
In order to bring out these points more clearly
il is only necessary to examine the vote III
detail.
Mr. Miller received 2l3 votes for dclcgate-at-
large, 2lS being majority. The following

Among the excellent measures langulsmng
for proper attention in the Legislature at Al
bany is the High License bill. 1t has made out
little progress in the Assembly; and although
it was ordered to third reading in the Senate
yesterday, the vote stood IS to II. Some OF
the Democrats did not commit themselves.
This does not promise well for the passage OF
the bill, unless its friends rally vigorously to Its
support. And yet this high-licensc measure is
pre-eminently one which should be passed Mt
this session, when the Republicans are in con-
troll. The Temperance people who have been
disappointed about a prohibition amendment
