EMOTIONAL INSANITY.

In public opinion the verdict OF ac-
quittal rendered in the BERTHA HEGE-
NER case was justifable without any
regard to the technical pleadings in the
trial. If man deliberately defames the
character of an honest woman, and re-
sorts to tricky devices i'll order to give
coloring to his defamation, he richly
deserves the fate that overlook JOHN
MURPHY. 1t is creditable to the moral
sentiment of the Northwest when such
an emphatic public expression can be
given that woman's honor IS held In
greater value in this community than
human life.
AT the same time there will be some
misgiyings in the public mind as to
whether there was anything in the plea
of emotional insanity other than to fur
nish the jury pretext upon which
to hinge a verdict of acquittal. 1t
is true, in this particular case,
there was sufficient proof in sup
port of the plea to justify the jurors
in finding the verdict that was rendered,
regardless of the sentiment that was in
volved, and particularly as no effort was
made by the state to rebut the evidence
bearing on this point. 1t is a very nice
question to determine what con-
stitutes emotional insanity. Medical
experts and legal experts have
been discussing the question for
centuries without coming to any
very clear conclusion on the sub
ject. There is hardly murder case in
the courts that in same form or other
the question does not come up. In fact,
it has been urged by some eminent
authorities that no murderer is of sound
mind-that the deliberate taking of
human life can not be done by one
whose brain is in perfectly healthy
condition. This view of the matter, for
tunately. has not grown into sufficient
popularity to have any weight with the
average jury. Another extreme view
is that there can be no insanity without
complete and permanent loss Of
the reasoning faculties. There are
those who hold that what is COM
monty designated as emotional
insanity OF temporary mental aberra-
ton is nothing more than violent ex-
hibition Of temper, and ought not to be
received in extenuation Of crime, be-
cause each individual is presumably in
control of his temper. If he didn't per-
nit himself to get unreasonably mad he
wouldn't be tempted to do deeds of VIC
fence. After all, this seems to be a
pretty reasonable rule to establish in
criminal jurisprudence. The emotional
insanity plea is dangerous to the secur-
ity of society, and the emotional insan-
ity dodge is played too often to permit
it to gain foothold in the criminal
courts. 1t sometimes answers good
purpose, as in the HEGENER case, but
it is such a very rare exception that it
does, that it will not do to give encour-
agement to the emotional insanity plea.

all luxuries, under which head works of
art would naturally fall.
But since the revenue necessary for
the expenses OF the government is more:
than provided for, it is well that the
heavy tax imposed upon paintings
should be removed. Native art will.

lively few wealthy people.
As means of raising revenue the tax
on foreign art was eminently proper;
from protectionist standpoint it was.
quite indefensible. But it will strike
the average person that. however desira-
BILE 1t may be that paintings should
come in free of duty, there are other
articles which might with more justice
have been put upon the free list.
If it were choice, for instance, be-
tween sugar, which yet remains heavily
taxed, and art, 1t would certainly SEEN
that an error was made in discriminat-
ing against the former in favor OF the
latter. The average citizen is far more
interested in the cost Of his yearly con-
sumption of sugar than he is in the val
uation of the works of CoRoT, RoUs-
sEAU OF GERoME. Had the tax upon
the former been released at the expense
of its retention upon the latter, the re-
suit would have been viewed with equa-
nimity.
Both should be free, but il we can only
have one of the two, the necessary
should have been given the preference,
despite the vigorous protests of the few
monopolists who benefit by the tax
which the vast army Of consumers must
pay.

THE PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

The private detective is responsible.
for another life wrecked and another
soul sent to its last account, blackened
with the sin of self-murder. Our dis
patches Of yesterday contained the ac-
count of the suicide, in Chicago hotel,
of Mrs. NANCE, reputable woman.
1t now appears that she had been liter
ally bounded to death by private de-
tectives who had pursued her like a
pack of bloodhounds, at the bidding of
her husband, who was seeking evidence
to sustain divorce suit he had brought
against her.
Harassed on all sides, unable to stir
in any direction without being cognizant
of the fact that sha was shadowed by a
hired spy, she in desperation, though
professedly innocent of any heinOus
wrong-doing, took her own life, and the
husband, whose jealous insanity has
presumably made him as miserable
as man well can be, finds the release
he sought to secure by the contemplate
methods of the spying system. The.
private detective may be in some in
stances, and in some lines of work, a
reputable man. He is more frequently
scoundrel, by the side of whom the
ordinary informer is saint. He finds
his reason for existing, when he under
takes the collection of divorce evidence,
in the meanest of human passions, and
to this he must pander, by fair means or
foul, in order to keep in the good graces.
of his employer and assure his salary.
The calling, when thus prostituted. is
not reputable one. 1t has been pro-
ductive of more misery and unhappi'
ness than good.
Society at large, and individuals of a
suspicious nature in particular, will be
the better off when private detectives
who respect themselves refuse the kind
of ''business" that led to Mrs. MANIcE's
death. and divorce courts refuse to ac-
cept evidence collected in such despi-

SURPRISING THE FACTS.
Chamberlain's Report on the Fisheries
Treaty---0iher Foreign
News.

LONDON, March, 2.-Official news has
been received here that the condition of
the German crown prince is alarming.
Upon receipt of this intelligence the
l0rd chamberlain communicated with
the queen with reference to altering the
court arrangements for next week.
which include levee and a
drawing-room. He was directed not to
alter the present arrangements, but to
prepare to postpone the receptions at
the shortest notice. The Prince of
Wales has left the Riviera and is return
ing to London.
Arrangements are being made pri-
vately to transport the German crown
prince to Berlin. On account of the
luminosity felt in Berlin DR.. Mckenzie
will not accompany the prince, but will
proceed direct to London.
SAN RENO, March 2, Midnight-The
crown prince has passed satisfactory
day. He coughs less frequently. The
patient spent good deal of the day on
the balcony. DR.. Mackenzie still de-
clineS to admit that the existence of
cancer has been proved.
BERLIN, March 2.-The cessation of
the daily bulletins and the strict pro-
hibition of all authentic information re-
garding the condition of the crown
prince has caused intense excitement in
Berlin and no little indignation. The
Germans i'll general are venting their
spleen upon DR.. Mackenzie and it would
not be safe for that gentleman to make
his appearance in Berlin just at pres
ent, for should he be seen and recog-
nized upon the streets he would un-
dOubtedly be mobbed, so great is
the feeling against him. This re-
cent suppression of news of the
royal patient is at the command
OF the emperor, who was grievOuSly Of
tended at report which appeared III a
Berlin newspaper, containing an ac-
count that came too near the truth to
suit the authorities. 1t is considered on
all sides that this is but the prelude to
the fatal end, and that official silence
will give way only to the official an
nOuncement of the sufferers death.
Many other signs point to crisis which
seems now in the gathering darkness to
be not far off. Orders for usual festiyi-
ties remain ungiyen, and poStponemepts
of those already planned are announced.
The Berlin Tagblatt says it is rer
ported that DR.. Bergman has asked
DR.. Lauer to prepare Emperor William
for the worst. All kinds of rumOrS are
in circulation. The Vienna Freie PreSSe,
referring to the German crown princes
alleged attack of suffocatiOn. says that
one of the doctors in attendance nearly
brought on catastrophe by his lack of
experience and skill.

ROBBING THE TERRITORIES.

A cry is going up from Montana that
the territory is being robbed by the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
and an appeal is being made to the au-
thorities at Washington for protection.
The trouble has come about in this way:
1t has always been supposed to be the
policy of the government to reserve
from settlement and survey the mineral
lands, and particularly tokeep them out
of the hands of corporations. 1t. seems
that under the land grant of the North
ern Pacific a great deal of land in Mon
tana passed into the possession of that
company containing valuable minerals.
This fact was not known at the time the
grant was made, or if known was
not made public. Prospectors have
since gone ahead making mining loca-
tons, supposing that the fact that they
were mineral lands exempted them
from the possibility of their being
claimed by corporations. They new
find that the Northern Pacific company
is asserting its title to these lands, and
this title is recognized as valid by the
interior department at Washington.
The commissioner of the land Office
holds ''the statutory exception of min
eral lands from the grant to the railroad
companies is construed to include any
lands known to contain valuable miner
ais prior to the issuance of the patent.
The railroad company will, therefore, get
a patent to all lands to which it is en-
titled, including mineral land, unless
the government is appraised of their
character"
1t goes without saying that such "a
strained construction in favor of the
railroad company would not have been
given under the SPARKS administration
of the land Office. But SPARKS is out of
Office now, and the railroad sway over
the territories, including Montana,
seems to have good chance for restor-
alton. The GLOBE has no disposition
to reflect Oh Secretary Villas, nor to
indulge in harsh criticisms on his adj
ministration of the interior department;
but it does take the liberty of saying,
bv way of passing remark, that if he
would take his mind off OF that vice
presidential bee in his bonnet and de-
vote more attention to the cause Of the
unprotected people of the territories,
who are being made the victims of cor
poration rapacity,he would not only i'm
prove his own chances for the second
place on the CLEVELAND ticket, but he
would add just that much more to the
reputation of the CLEVELAND admins
tration, and thus promote the welfare
of the Democratic party.
Montana's surest protection against
the rapaeity of the railroads is in state
hood. AS long as she remains terri
tory, with only one delegate in. congress,
and lie without vote, there is not much
prospect of obtaining relief from the
federal government. A territory seems
to be regarded as legitimate prey for
the corporations. They gobble up
