Insanity Experts.

In tho Medical NeUs OF Philadelphia, OF
last Saturday. is a leading article describing
the two kinds OF insanity experts with which
society Is afflicted. so to say. The public Is
afflicted with only one kind in reality; the
other. II discoverable. would be received
with joyous reclamation. The truth is that
the real expert is probably never heard OF.
but the pseudo-expert emblazons his name
in the press as frequently as possible. The
latter calls himself an expert, for the sake
OF the money in the magic word. although,
as is often the case outside OF New York.
he may never have had even a weeks resi-
dence In an asylum. wherein only can the
real and practical knowledge Of insanity be
obtained. In France. in England, or In Ger
many the courts would not recognize as an
expert alienist physician who had not
had at least several years OF experience
in special practice and study among the
insane. Here. the ease with which ANY,
body who wishes to call himself an expert,
may impose himself as such upon courts
and juries is astonishing. His right To
be SO considered is never questioned. This
Is the reason that experts are SO readily
found who will swear that q sane man "a
insane. that a notorious lunatic is in sound
mind and all his decisions facts. that a
man conducting his affairs perfectly has
general paresis and epilepsy. and that
another who clearly has general paresis ia
capable OF attending To his business as
usual. Such things have occurred in some
OF our provincial cities. We believe.
The Medical NeDs defines as its idea OF an
expert man who sis above the level Of the
zeal OF the partisan. the rage for publicity.
and the greed for lucre." and ends its re-
marks thus: $50 We have two kinds Of eG-
perts. The first and greater OF these stands
for study, for observation. for candor, for
science, for justice and for professional ira
dition. The second and lesser OF these
stands for rumor. for guesswork. for sensa-
tionalism. for newspaper notoriety, and.
above all. for self"
The evil Of pseudO-expertlsm must be in
deed far-reaohing when one Of the organs Of
the medical profession is called upon to
rsbuke 1t thus. Perhaps some OF the facts
cited by our contemporary may account
for the prevailing Lack OF belief in ex-
psrts nowadays among laymen. Judges.
and juries. 1t Is evident that there must
be q radical reform OF some kind before
the testimony Of expert alienists In any
given case can be accepted as al
ways candid. honest, and scientific. The
reform should DO in the way Of q law re-
curing the appointment by the Judge Of q
commission Of one TO three Alienlsts TO ex-
anime and report TO him upon the question

This Is the Way the Case Stands.

Although the Democratic law is that the

bill for protection has TO find approval in
notions that it will give us good tariff.
a judicious tariff. sensible tariff. a tariff
that should please the manufacturers. or
tariff that corresponds with the idea OF it's
admirers as to what a tariff ought to be.
When man is convicted OF murder In the
first degree the law says that he shall be put
to death. The Judge is bound to sentence
him to death. Yet IL the latter. through
lawlessness. or bribery. or pressure OF
politics, should determine to turn the law
down. and to punish the convict with
Imprisonment, or with rebuke. according
to his personal preference. we suppose that
there would always be enough irresponsible
cranks to applaud the sentence on the
ground that it was judicious, or sensible. or
at least TO the convict him

In the construction of his tariff bill the
Hon. WILLIAM l.. WILSON has assumed pre-
cisely this extraordinary relation to the
fundamental and imperative law OF his par
ty. and thecranks are not wanting.

The announcement OF Mr.. MUNDELLA. in
the House Of Commons. that the British Gov
eminent would cooperate with ours to clear
the North Atlantic OF derelict vessels Is
satisfactory but was long in coming. Sew
eral days earlier Sir U. KAr-SHUTTLEwoRTH
had insisted. as the cable reported 1t. that mo
record OF ship striking q derelct could be
found by the Admiralty" How hard this hody
had searched does not appear: but the recent
report OF our own Com missioner OF Naviga-
tion. Mr.. E c. O'BRIEN. declares that during u
period Of FIVE years, from 1887 to 1891 incu-
sive. there were 957 derelicts. 100 OF which
had their drift tracks regularly charted. so
ofton were they reported. and that during the
same period there occurred thirty eight coll
lisions with derelicts, or On average Of eight
every year" II might be we'll to furnish
memoranda regarding these thirty eight to
the Admiralty. since 1t has hitherto had 50
fruitless a quest.
The retort made to the Secretary OF the Adj
miralty in Parliament was that tho absence Of
record" might he because none was left to
tell the tale" And. in fact that is the pith OF
the matter. A heavily laden hulk. perhaps

North Atlantic steamship lane OF These dangers
will cost little to any one country. and now We
may hope to see the good work pushed on.

Tho Democratic Duty.

other Democrats In the House OF Repre-
sentatives to make tariff bill that will be
In accordance with the Democratic plat
form. The bill published In THE Sun last
week and again this morning is q proper
substitute for tho WILSON bill. At any rate.
some bill for tariff for revenue only
should be introduced and passed. At pres
emit only Mr.. WILSON and his colleagues
have made themselves responsible for a
protectionist bill. The other Democratic
representatives still have an opportunity to
vindicate ct once the Constitution and the
reputation Of the Democracy for truth
and veracIty and honest politics. Mere
patching and amending OF the WILSON bill
will not serve. That is all protection and
no Constitution. Salt will not save 1t:
least Of all. FREQ salt.
