He Piles IL up on tho Senate and Score

thry Olney.
New York. Jan. 7.-Ooncerning the
proceedings OF the Senate to-day the
World will tomorrow say editorially:
Senator Lodge yesterday relieved the
dreariness Of political debste and added
10 the gaiety of nations by quoting in
the Senate the celebrated section 5,335.
This is undoubtedly law. It is on the
statute books. It il section 5,335. 1t
Is reinforced by section 2,113, of the
same era, which forbids corresponding
with foreign governments to iucite the
Indians to raids on the settlers. Ills
unquestionably the duty of Secretary
Olney to'enforce this law. He SHOULD
punish with the full severity of it's
penalties-not fine or imprisonment,
but fine and mprisonment-auy ono
who has wilfully violated It.
The World pleads guilty In advance
to having "without the permission or
authority" OF Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Olney
carried on intercourse by cable with
Lord Salisbury, the prince OF Wales
and duke OF York, the Rothsohilds and
other foreign dignitRries. The statute
cited is aged, obsolete, mouldy, moth
eaten, Undiscovered, and about forgot-
ten until resuscitatad by the zsal and
watchfulness of Secretary Olney. The
World will not descend into the dun
geon to put out It's million candle-power
torch of liberty and intelligerc, without
struggle.

LEGAL INSANITY.
Should Uncomfortable Impulse" Bar
Criminal Conviction?

Should Uncomfortable Impulse" Bar
Criminal Conviction?
The New York Law Journal recently
contained an editorial article fayoring
q modification of the test of insanity in
criminal cases. The ability to distin-
guish between right and wrong in ref
erence TO the act committed and to
know that it was wrong is standard
of mental capacity required III New
York to render person responsible for
crimes committed by him.
The Law Journal argues in favor of
grading punishment according to the
mental condition of offenders who may
be partially insane" Many alicnists,
including DR.. Allan McLano Hamilton,
do not recognize partial insanity"
saying that a person is either sane or
insane. The state in which the mind
acts correctly as to it's Judgment, but
the will is controlled by some Impulse
which the mind cannot master, is not
recognized i'll many criminal courts,
because it has been found that the cx-
cuso of irresistible impulse led to too
great y numbor Of acquittals in cases
where defendants were really guilty of
serious offenscs.
In civil cases it is easier to deal with
persons whose minds are so affected
that they cannot como to correct con.
clusions rs to certain subjects. Tho is
sues at stake are frequently less impor-
tant, and it is possible to learn whether
particular act was dono under tho in
fluenco OF tho delusion or mental weak
ness which affects the person concerned.
