4 FogCTBLE SUGGESTION.

In his annual report the State Commissioner
Of Lunacy makes recommendation in relation
to the disposal Of insane persons charged with
crime which is worthy Of the careful attention
of the Legislature. As the law now stands,
superintendents Of State asylums for the in
sane are allowed to send any insane patient
charged with crime who has been committed
to these institutions to the State Asylum for
Insane Criminals at Auburn. They have this
privilege, whether the patients in question have
been brought TO trial or not, or whether or
not they have been tried and acquitted on the
ground of insanity. The commissioner rightly
argues that it is unjust to the insane thus to
associate the mconyicted with the pauper in
sane criminals and convicts Of our State pris-
ons. There were present. he reports, " In
the Asylum for Insane Criminals at Auburn
at the close Of the month Of September last
81 men and women who have never been
brought to trial; also IL men and 2 women
acquitted on the ground Of insanity. These
persons whom presumed innocence should
covef are thus associated with convicts in a
State asylum especially created for the convict
insane.r
No class OF unfortunates have stronger claims
upon the general compassion than the insane.
The State should take care to do its best by
them, and certainly the ordinary dictates Of
humanity demand that the insane who have
never been convicted Of any crime should not
be placed on level and quartered with insane
criminals. The superintendent suggestion is
In line with the blu now pending in the Leois-
lature, which looks to dividing the population
Of our State prisons into three classes, the aim
being to separate the new conyicts who are
fairly promising subjects for reformation from
the old offenders. 1t certainly will not he
argued that the insane against whom nothing
has been proved do not deserve as much con-
sideration as the convict class.
The new asylum at Matteawan was designed
TO relieve the Asylum for Insane Convicts at
Auburn. The Auburn asylum when last re-
ported contained 2i8 persons, although its esti-
mated capacity is stated to be 100. If the
convicted inmates were removed there would
remain but i2D men and women. The Mat
teswan asylum viii accommodate 450 patsents.
There ought TO be Little difficulty. therefore. h

A SEARCH LIGHr NEEDEp.

Already the Commissioners Of Accounts have
shown zeal and usefulness and have justified
their appointment. but there are still many
dark caverns in the city government that call
for exploration.
One Of these Is presided over by that County
Democracy worthy, the Hon. Thomas Costigan.
The late Commissioners of Accounts, Shear
man and DAILY, whose services Mayor Grant
found it convenient TO dispense with soon afte-
he took office, made an Investigation, they
called it, into Mr.. Costigan's City Record Of
fee last December and reported, In effect, that
he was good, blameless man, entitled to the
plaudits of his fellow-citizens.
1t Is a fact, nevertheless. that huge bills of
arrearages have been piled up in the ofHce Of
the Record against the city. Mr.. Costigan
told the Board Of Estimate that 81 0, 900 would
pay these bills. II now appears that they will
require at least $50, 900, and the Mayor has
felt himself called upon TO warn the Controller
against paying a single dollar in excess Of the
appropriation.
1t came out in the somewhat cursory glances
that were taken by Senator Fassetts committee
into the bureau of the City Record that num-
Der OF suspicious acquisitions were on file
there. 1t seemed, for instance, as If the pau
pers and criminals under the care of the Com
missioners Of Charities and Correction must
subsist entirely on mucilage. Incompre-
hensible accounts for blotters, pens, writ
ing pads and other supplies were recorded
against almost every department, as to which
the heads Of the departments were obviously
Ignorant. The expenses OF Mr.. COstgans bu-
fGN a..
enormously in excess Of tho total expense for
the whole year previous
a search light needs TO be turned upon Mr..
COstgan and his little bureau. IL should bo
