ILLEGAL INSANE ASYLUUS.

The information that there still exist In New
York State private institutions in which people
can be detained as insane without warrant OF
law will come as Il surprise to nearly everybody.
Yet for the belief that such places do exist we
have the word Of the State Lunacy Commission
The action taken yesterday under authority OF
the Attorney-(iene against LOuden Hall. nj
Amtyville Long Island Is said by those inter
cstcd TO be only the beginning OF an effort to
close up several institutions which are managed
in what the Commissioners consider neither
proper nor lawful manner
The State Commission in Lunacy was organ
lied in 1889. in acceptance with the policy OF
the State, pursued uniformly since 1874 OF bring
ing the care of the insane under State super
vision and control Its powers have been con-
siderably enlarged since It's establishment, until
now 1t exercises an efficient and benefcent over
sight Of all insane patients In public and private
institutions. But the Constitution leaves one
chance for abuse which, it is said, has not been
neglected by those who may have interest IN
secreting the insane or holding persons In i'm
proper confinement. distinction is made by
the Constitution between lunatics and idiots and
epileptics Institutions caring for the two last
named classes Of patients have not been under
the authority Of the Commission, and 1t Is
charged that some Of them have taken advan-
tage Of this liberty and secretly carried on the
scandalous business which the lunacy laws have
specially tried to end.
The discovery OF these evils Is largely due to
the vigilance Of Dr. Carlos +. Macdonald, OF the
Commission in Lunacy. Through him the con-
dition Of affairs at Amiyvle was brought TO
the attention Of Attorney-General Hancock and
on application Of Charles J. Babbitt special
counsel designated by the Attorney General,
Justice Gaynor appointed DR.. Ira o. Tracey. Dr.
William A. Little and DIR. John l.. Macumber. or
the Long Island State Hospital, to examine
into the abuses charged, and himself held court
in Amityve to take action on their report
This vigorous course the part Of officers and
court is to be commended, particularly as it in
dicates a set purpose to do away utterly with
the disgrace Of illegal detention for insanity in
New-YOrk.

THE VJCTORS AND THE GAME

The college football season has ended with a
generally credltahle record Of behavior on the
field and in the councils OF the managers SO
far as the principal contestants were concerned.
The chief game Of the year beyond dispute was
that which many thousands went TO see on Man
haitian Field yesterday, and which in prospect
and performance evoked as much excitement as
has usually attended the Thanksgiving Day
game between the same antagonists. Whatever
NAV be thought Of football as a sport for inteli-
gent and respectable young men, 1t cannot be
denied that 1t exercises an extraordinary fasci-
nation over all ages and conditions, and that the
YalePrnceton game in particular arouseS In
this somewhat easily bored city degree of In
tercst only second to that which is felt in Pres
idential election Moreover popular preferences
are pretty evenly matched, SO that outside the
immediate circle of college mourners there is
always jubilaton enough to make the town gay,
whichever side wins Harvard's defeat by Penn
sylvania at Cambridge may have wrapped Bos-
ton in deep gloom. but Yale's victory Prince
ton Is At least as welcome to New-York as a re-
versal Of the score would have been.
While the closing contests Of the year and the
general record of the season show that football
is not necessarily brutal and demOrallzng they
do not settle the controversy over the net adj
vantage Of keeping 1t permanently on the list Of
intercollegiate sports. Many will still maintain
that a game which has often demonstrated
its unfortunate possibilities. which engrosscs so
much Of the time and thought Of students. and
which is potentially so spectacular. Is not suit
able form Of diversion for young men whose
chief pursuit ought to be the acquisition Of
knowledge. Furthermore. it has been alleged,
and We fear proved against not few college
communities that in their zeal for football they
deliberately put premium on professionalism,
by Offering spec.il advantages TO expert players
and sometimes Buying them outright for cash
Nobody would venture TO deny that this Is n de-
generation OF college athletics, whatever stand
ard OF proficiency II may produce. 1t il bad in
Its immediate effects and bad in all Its tenden.

GOOD ROADS AND TAIES.

In recent report on the horseless carriages
Of France the United States Consul ut Havre
says that "as solid, smooth roads are quite es
'sential to the successful use OF the system, 1t
will be necessary, before It can be proitably
applied in the United States, to bring our roads
ito the condition Of European highways" That
is unquestionably so; for proof Of which observe
the experience of a horseless carriage last week.
which had to be shipped by railroad because
the highways were in too bad condition for

too and in the best part Of it. We do need
better roads, not only for horscless carriages,
but for horse carriages as well, and mule wagons
and OXcarts and every sort Of vehicle. whether
propelled by steam or naphtha, by hitchedup
ouadruped or bestriding biped.
Our Consul further suggests a plan for road
Improvement: or. rather. for raising the money
for road Improvement. 1t Is the French plan,
to wit, Il wheel tax. In France all carriages are
taxed Those with seats for one or two per-
sons, so Il year Gn round numbers; those with
seats for three, So and for four, $40; while
bicycles and trcyces are taxed 81 each. These
taxes are payable monthly in advance. and
must be paid before the vehicle is allowed to 90
upon the road. A fine revenue is thus Obtained.
No doubt a similar system In this country would
also fill up the State, county or township treas
ury. But we don't want il. Such tax would
be particularly vexatious and annoying; almost
as bad as an income tax Just imagine the job
OF inspecting every vehicle on upper seventh
ave. on fine Sunday afternoon. or every bicycle
on the Boulevard. to make sure its monthly tax
had been paid.
We don't need it. either. Our ordinary system
Of taxation Is sufficient. We spend enough
money-or its capitalization our roads now TO
make them good those OF France The
trouble is don't spend 1t in the right way
Our labor Is misdirected. Al some season Of the

the immense number Of Americans who cross the

Of having no passport is calculated to prejudice

end of worry and annoyance. And, as shown in
an article upon the subject which we publish
elsewhere in our columns Of to-day the mere
