The Criminal Insane.

Applications for the removal of three
insane prisoners from Riverside Peni-
tentiary to some asylum calls attention
anew to the need for hospital for the
criminal insane. This subject has been
agitated by Warden Wright aud other
authorities on various occasions, but
has thus far failed of the necessary
sanction and appropriation by the
Legislature Some of these insane
criminals, of course, can be properly
cared for in the State hospitals for the
insane-some of them cannot In any
event the present system imposes the
trouble and delay of having them le-
gally transferred, and more trouble
and delay in returning them to the
prison if circumstances require
1t is not to be assumed that any OF
the unfortunate for whom the present
application is made are victims of the
new law restricting the employment of
convicts; but upon the testimony OF
prison authorities and mental experts q
material increase in such cases may be
anticipated. What is now an incon-
venience may then be expect TO become
a burden, and the next Legislature
should give its attention to means fol
avoiding it-Dispatch.

NJ b. Mcbride, Esq, of Millerstown

story, he was to set up an Independent
