This is a queer world, and human

tumble of progressivlsts and reaction

PEKsONALLIBaRrY NOT EST
MATED BY DOLLARS.

EVERYTHING has its organ or defender.
and the insane asylums are not without
theirs. Some Minnesota newspapers,
having possibly contingent interest in
the hospital supplies, have been very
censorious towards the GLOBE for hay
ing taken prominent part in the agi-
tation which led up to the recent decis-
ion Oh the insanity law. The GLOBE
accepts the compliment thus uninten-
tionally paid with great satisfaction.
The stunning argument of these in
sane organs is that the four or five hun
dred patients committed to various asy-
lumS under the law OF '9S must now be
returned to the respective counties from
whence they came and have a new and
legal examination. The expense thus
incurred is held up as great evil re-
sulting from the law being declared
unconstitutional.
There appear to be some indications
that the trustees OF the aSylums share
the newspaper discontinue. aud regard
it as personal affront 10 have especial
safeguards thrown about the insane
commitments.
The decision of the court was based
on the fact that the law of 1898 gave an
opportunity tor "deDriving a person of
his liberty without due process of law"
Thepublic have knowledge of three
cases where sane persons only escaped
incarceration by the decision declarin g
the law unconstitutional. That there
are many others it is very reasonable to
assume. But if there are only three
cases, that yerifies the correctness of
the decision, as 1t proves beyond perad
venture that while the law stood, peo-
pie could be improperly incarcerated.
The expense involved in returning
the patients to their respective counties
is trifling matter compared with the
Issue at stake. which is that the law as
ii stood opened the door for designing
persons to railroad their enemies into
all incarceration worse than death.
There have been four or five hundred
commitments under the law, and, as
stunning that the cost of returning the
patients to their counties and re-exam-
lining them should be $50 each (Which is
a liberal estlDate), the expenditure in
VOWED would not exceed $4,000. But,
no matter what the eXpense-if even
one sane person has been wrongfully
committed. or if one sane person was
liable to such commitment (and we
know OF three the protection secured
for personal liberty is beyond being
measured by dollars and cents.
If the managers of the asylums and
their organs think they are taking re-
yenge for the decision of the court. by
complying with its terms very literally,
we wish them much joy.

the last few days, that the redemption
of greenbacks has been unusually
heavy, as much as million dollars
having been presented for that purpose

serious drain of its gold, the treasury

THE HInLMAN CASE.
New Facts Concerning His Strange
Disappearance.

NEW 7 dCtS concerning his strange
Disappearance.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 7.-Counsel for
the insurance companies in the famous
Hlllman case claim to have unearthed
the real facts in the strange disappear
ance of John NJ. Hillman. They say
Hillman died subsequent to the trial of
the case in 1888. Hillman, they hold,
did not die in the United States, and at
the time of his death he was not known
as John nj. Hlllman. He claimed
that all the circumstances of
the new story would sustain the
line of defense heretofore adopted. and
confirm the confessions of hillman's pal
that the body which was produced and
identified by Mrs. Hillman and other
friends was not That OF Hiilman, but of
a Fort Madison cigarmaker, who wrote
to his mother and sweetheart on the eve
of his departure from Wichita that he
was going with man named Hillman
to a ranch near by. Since then the cigar
maker has never been seen. The cigar
maker, Mr.. Waro, had every reason to
live, and Hiilman had motive to dis
appear and claim to he dead.
