ms SANITY AND MURDER.
How Far Should the Plea of Degeneracy
BE Carried?

BE Carried?
1t may well be that a man who
could not be called insane but merely,
inal classes, with strong passions and
feeble intellect. would, in the presence
of an opportunity long expected and
hoped for, the consequences of which
his thoughts had frequently rehearsed,
be really for the moment incapable OF
restraining his hand. says the London
Hospital We should hang him, new
ertheleSs, without the slightest scru-
pie; and We should waste no COM
passion upon the absence Of Self-con-
troll. 1t is, in fact. impossible to frame
definition OF responsibility based
upon absence of self-cOntrol without
including all sorts of crimes which at
present are punished by the law For
years back there has been a sort of
feud between the lawyers and the
alienists on the subject, so that even
the textbooks speak of legal insanity
and medical insanity as distinct To
take extreme cases, juriSts have con-
tended that no degree of insanity
should exempt from punishment for
crime unless it has reached such a
point that the person is utterly I'M
conscious OF the difference between
right ard wrong at the time of com
hitting the Ofiense, while medical men
have very generally held to the opinion
that this is not a proper criterion, that
many Of the insane are fully conscious
OF the difference between right and
wrong, and that to enforce such a test
means the hanging of many a lunatic.
There can be no doubt that of late
years the medical view has met with
Il wider acceptance than it used to do,
and that even lawyers have shown an
increasing readiness to admit the doc
trine of responsibility. But it is a
very anxious question, especially in
view of recent dogmas as to degenera-
cy how far this doctrine is to be al
lowed to go. The condition Of affairs
is much more serious than some peO~
pie think, and it is highly necessary
that those who administer the crimina,
law should be on their guard against
any inSidiOus establishment of immu.
nifty for the violation of its most sa-
cred principles. In any case Of muir
der, the presumption in favor Of hang
ing should be so strong as to leave very
slender prospect of escape for any man
who. prior to the commission Of the
crime, had been thought fit to be az
large. II this condition cannot be Sc
cured, it will become a matter of grave
necessity to take prompt steps for the
incarceration Of many persons Of evil
passions who are now at liberty, and to
render the utterance of threats a mat
ter to be dealt with by the alienist as
we'll as by the magistrate.

X now what is right and true, and
they will see to it that Schley is fair

and the congress will hear from them.
Dewey is practically and really no
more the hero at Manila than Schley
is the hero in the destruction Of the
Cervera fleet. In both battles the
great superiority Of American fighting
over Spanish is made too plain to be
misunderstood. There are other great
American laval captains awaiting OPP
portunity and fame, but alas, there is
nothing left but a remnant of a navy.

RREVITIES.

Christopher Columbus not only did
not discover North America, but he
did not know so much as that there
was a North America. If he could
have foreseen that fight at Santiago
under Schley and hat the vessel nam
ed in his honor would be shivered TO
pieces, probably he would have sought
q voyage to the Indies in another di-
r%ectiOn.
Captain William T. Drinkard, an old
and able Virginian journalist, died in
Richmond on the 18th inst, nearly 73
years Of age. He has been identified
with the Dispatch nearly ever since
the war. He was a faithful, indus
%trious, judicious, vigorous editor, an
excellent citizen and a most worthy
a We suppose he was not a mem
Der Of a church as no mention is made
of it. He was born in Prince Edward
county.
Admiral Cervera is now on Ameri-
can soil and he and his brave men are
welcome, but unwilling guests of our
nation. He will receive only courte-
Gus treatment. He is at Portsmouth,
N. H.
The European press is about agreed
that negotiations looking to peace are
to little profit.
The Dominion government demands
that the Spanish spy Carranza shall
leave Canada at once, INC Du Bose
must go also. They should have been
ordered away long ago.
1t is believed in Washington that
Shafter has allowed Spanish soldiers
to escape from Santiago after Iooting
houses and taking with them a large
supply of provisions. Maybe Shafter
was at the rear and sick again.
If the war ends soon the congress
Will have to be called in extra session
to ratify the treaty.
The revised list of casualties before
Santiago shows 1886 total. Killed, %
officers and 20S men; wounded, 50 off
GERS and 1903 men; missing, 81.
Skaters army now numbers % 1850
men.
Schley has his guns now on Santa

city. Guns for ~enfilading have .been
placed at Siboney. Toral is for fight

excellent editor of the Greensboro
Telegram, is to become associated

1t is announced that Mr.. Daniels, edi-

Mr.. S. w. Bowman, who has issued it,

of the young hero. There are several
pictures of young Bagley at various
ages.

the Iowa reported to Commodore
Schley that Admiral Cervera, the COM
mander Of the Spanish fleet, was on
board. The commodore at once went
over to pay his respects to the Span
ism admiral, who was cast down by
his defeat, but preserved a dignified
and courteous demeanor nOtwithstand-
ing.
He said he deeply appreciated the
not exuit by cheering when it was
learned h a he was a prisoner on the
Iowa.
He replied in response to the commo-
d0re's remark that it was the fortune
of war. Yes, but I've lost my career
now that I've been defeated" Commo-
dore Schley, however, told him that
such a brave deed as bringing out his
squadron could not be looked upon
otherwise than a most gallant feat,
upon which Admiral Cervera threw
his arms around the commodore and
said: "Ah, sailors always are gentle
men," He then said he though his
dead would number probably $50.

Of the gun deck, killing and ~wOunding
probably eighty men. On the Vizcaya
alone there were 10 men killed.
Admiral Cervera said he feared the
losses might be greater than he an
~ticipated, for many men were below
the protected deck and when the ships
were IN fire it must have been diff
cult for them to escape. He added
that all his captains had been killed
or wounded; but, later, it was found
that the captain of the Cristobal Colon
was saved.
Admiral Cervera also said he had no
doubt at least three of the ships would
have gotten away had it not been for
the Brooklyn, h Oregon n the
Texas.
