THE MACKEY CASE.

Thomas J. Mackey yesterday filed a
petition for writ of habeas corpus in
the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia with view to secure the re
l4ase of his wife, Katherine S. Mackey,
from the st. Elizabeth Asylum m for the
insane. The petition was granted by
Chief Justice Bingham, and the matter
will come up for hearing tomorrow.
Mrs. Mackey was committed to the
asylum in May last by order Of Justice
Cole. The petition asking for the COM
mitment OF Mrs. Mackey was filed by
relatives who alleged that she was OF
unsound mind and unable to care for
herself. On the day set for the Inquiry
regarding her mental condition
Mrs. Mackey did not appear in
court in response to summons.
At that time she, 1t ia said, was,
and for some time previous bad been,
residing in Washington. When she did
not appear at the time set for the inves-
tigation search was made for her. The
officers in search OF her were informed
that she had left the house where she
had been stopping early one day aud
had not been seen since that time.
Although a strict watch had been
kept in hopes of securing Mrs. Mac.
keys presence on the second date fixed
Tor an inquiry as to her mental condl-
ton, it was not for week or ten days
later that she was heard Of. Then it
was learned that she was in Alexan-
dria with her husband. 1t was some
time after this that Mrs. Mackey was
brought to Washington by relatives and
surrendered to the authorities at st.
Elizabeth's Asylum.
When Mrs. Mackey failed to appear
at the inquiry ordered by the su.
preme Court of the District. it was
supposed that she was Influenced
Oy her husband. This, however, Mr.
Mackey emphaticslly denied. 1t was
known, however, that Mr.. Msckey
contended that his wife's mental condl-
lion was not such as to warrant her
com mitment to the asylum. In conse-
quence be determined to secure her re.
lease as soon as possible. In his petit
ZION for hsbeas corpus he alleges that
Mrs. Mackey was illegally committed to
the asylum, first, because she is not an
INDECENT person nor OF unsound mind,
nor was she at the time of her commit
ment, and again, when committed she
was resident of the State of Virginia,
and not of the District OF Columbia.
Thomas J. Mackey is at out seventy
years of age, and was formerly judge
10 the Circuit Court Of South Caroline.
He also figured prominently in the poll
tics OF that State during the days OF re.
construction. Mrs. Mackey is about
twenty.four years of age, and women
OF prepossessing appearance.

GOVERNOR TYLER DECIDES
WISELY.

In regard to the question OF calling
bly, to provide for the election of dele
an extra session of the General Assem-
gates 20 a Constitutional Convention at
the date of the Presidential election.
Governor Tyler is quoted as saying:
81 do not think the two issues should
be mixed. and ! have come to the con
clusion that it Will be the Wisest policy
to settle one before the other is con-
sdercd."
This decision seems to be eminen,ly
wise under all the circumstances, and
Will commend itself to all who nut
thoroughness above haste in Constitu-
ton revision. To have attempted to
choose the members of the Constitu-
tiona Convention this fall would have
been to incur the risk OF n personnel
that would not have commanded the
full confidence and respect Of all classes
of citizens. and would have made the
fight for the adoption of the new or
revised Constitution much more bitter.
Since revision has been dccrecd by "a
vote OF the people, there is no reason to
suppose that 1t will be ENDANGERED by
waiting until after the Presidential
election, to take the next step in the
matter. while ii is certain that If the
election of delegates had been set for
this fall it would have been overshad-
owed by the Presidential election which
will not be so tame as some imagine
The contention that the aid of state
issues will be needed by the Democratic
party, to get out its vote this fall. is
not likely to prove very well founded in
fact. In any case, If the Democratic
party cannot carry Virginia this fall
on what Will certainly be the national

DANIEL FOR VICE-PREsIDENT.

The Virginian-Pilot is gratified to
note the prominent mention OF the
name of Senator John w. Daniel as the
running mate OF William Jennings
Bryan. During his term in the Senate
Mr.. Daniel has made marked impress
sion by his eloquence. fearlessness and
ciearness of reasoning in debate. He
has left his impress on legislation and
the trueness of his Democracy has
never been questioned.
1t would seem that the selection of
Senator Daniel to fight the battle Of
Democracy with the great Nebrasllan
would give the Democratic ticket Il
strensth that would be unmistakable.

TIE DEWEY AWARD.
Civilian T.. Curtis)

The Supreme court has decided that
the Spanish naval force at the battle OF
Manila was not superior TO Admiral
Dewcy's squadron, and hence his
officers and sailors only Get one-half
as much prize money as they otherwise
would. Under the law, if n naval VIC
tory is won from an inferior force the
prize money is $lC0 Per man i'll the enc
mys fleet. If it is superior force $500
per man. and in order to double their
prize money Admiral Dewey and his
officers claim that they were fighting
both the land ana naval forces OF
Spain at Manila, which is true; but the
supreme court holds that the land
forces don't count, and therefore
Dcwcys officers and sailors only get
500 for every man they captured. The
admiral is entitled 10 20 per cent. of the
amount, and, after deducting his share.
the remainder OF the prize money,
which in this case is about 100000. Is
divided among the vessels of the neet
i'll proportion to their fighting strength.
The commander of each vessel receives
one-tenth and the residue lis distributed
among the officers and sailors in pro-
portion TO their Lay.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
THE SOUTH AND TRADE.
philadelphia Inquirer.)

-
Commerce has turned its eyes to the
South. No section of the country is at
the present time showing such resist
less energy and nervous strength, such
iindomitable determination to meet the
commercial problems of the day inteli-
gently, and such Willingness to adapt
it's methods TO the conditions that con-
front the country. Congresses. conven-
tons and conferences to investigate and
deal with all kinds of trade problems
are being held frequently In some por-
ton of the South. Her merchants and
her fipanciers are travelling over this
country and abroad seeking new out
lets for her products, both raw and
manufactured, and experts i'll all lines
are being invited to lecture and make
speeches that will educate those who
stay at home.
NO other section of the country is
showing the effect of trade expansion so
radically as the South. The East, with
its gigantic plants and enormous re-
sources. is solidifyinG and building up
interests that already exist, and in do
ing that it is doing Il splendid work
But i'll the South they are stretching out
their hands after new things and they
are comprising their complete evolu-
ton from Il purely agricultural COM
munity to a mixed community, where
agriculture, mining and manufacturing
are lnterdependent

THE HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
(ChicanO Record


Mr.. William Dean Howells, who oc-
casionally enjoys as much as anybody
the gentle art of stirring up the liter
airy brethren, delivered Il speech re-
Gently in New York in which he at
tackled the historical novel, now so
popular. These romances are still SELL
ing fabulously; far more rapidly, in
fact. than are the works of any of the
reaiists of Mr.. Howells' kind. The con-
ditions lead the novelist to confess that
when he sees people reading, the nine
hundred and ninety-ninth thousand of
the latest romance his heart sinks" all
though he has a sustaining faith that in
due time the novelist who reports hui
man nature truly" will outsell his pre-
sent rivals.
The truth seems Ia be that the pre-
Vailing craze for the Historical ro-
nance is reaction from the long
period of indulgence in realism. 1t les
not at all surprising. The reading public
Graves something new. and after a sur
felt OF the "tea-party novel," which
Stevenson derded, it took to the flash
ing tin sabers and the heroic melodrama
OF romance as a duck takes to water
That the taste for books of this sort will
i'll turn be followed by a reaction to-
ward the more solid and substantial
form of fiction is almost n certainty. In
the period during which realism held
sway the taste for u fiction which
should be rooted in actualities and Il
faithful reflection of life has become
hrinly established. The public may be
willing to coquet for n time with the
newest romancers, or even with An
thony Hope, but it is not likely to for
get the standards raised by realism or
to fail to apply them-unconsciously
perhaps-to the books which it reads.

a PARTISAN INIQUIrY.
(Philadelphia Record.)

1t is as an open secret that the So
called Industrial Commission. which was
ostensi3ly created 10 investigate cond!-
lions of labor and industry, is Il mere
Republican machine for making party
capital. Such is the character of this
Commission that it has excited the de
ris!on and contempt of mon of all parics
who sincerely desire Il solution of the
questions which thaf body has pretend
ed TO investigate while dining and win
ing at the expense of the public treas
ury. =
1t is not for the partisan work which
this Industrial Commission has already
accomplished that the Republican ma
jorliy in Congress are disposed to pro-
long its existence. Thus far what it has
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-06-03

done for the party has been exceeding
ly stupid and Ineffective; but the pur-
pose of the Republicans is to make it
useful adjunct to the Machine in the
coming campaign. AS evidence of the
partisan spirit of this body Senator
Jones proved in the debate on Monday
last that it had not scrupled to revise
the testimony of witnesses for its ofii-
cial report. Chairman Kyle made n
feeble attempt to parry this blow with
the plea that the revision Of the testi-
mony of witnesses had been made in
only few cases." To this Senator
Jones responded that the alterations in
testimony had been made not in a few
but in a great many cases; and he pro-
poses to produce the actual utterances
of witnesses for comparison with what
the Commission has printed as their

MOST UNGRACEFUL.

Our Richmond correspondent reports
that the Daughters of the Confederacy
are indignant at the action of the CT. A.
r. Posts OF Philadelphia in protesting
against the erection of Confederate
monuments in national cemeteries, and
particularly against the placing OF a
monument in the PHILADELPHIA Gene
terry. The Indignation is natural but is
it really worth while? Was this par
ticularly boorish and bigoted action of
the Philadelphia posts, what was to be
expected, in view of the well-known
past of the Pennsylvania pension-chas-
ing patriot?
We are inclined to think that it would
be better for the Daughters of the Con-
federacy to ignore altogether the i'll
bred fanatlcism of which the Philadel-
phia G. A. r. Posts has made them the
victims. 1t is provoking undoubtedly
So is the rufflianism that insults a
woman in the street. Indignation, how
ever, is wasted on the one or the other

man. The Philadelphia patriot could be
punished only by cutting off his pension.
This, in the premises. is not practical.
We do not upprehend that there will
he any strong disposition elsewhere,
without it DE in Iowa and A1assachu-
sets. to follow the example OF the Phil
adelphians in this most uncalledfor in
suit to the Southern people, and to the
Daughters of the Confederacy in partic-
ular. The really intelligent and patriot
ic people OF the North will give no
counterance or approval to this amaz-
ingly brutal attempt to revive sectional
feeling by protesting against honoring
the memory OF the Confederate dead
who sleep in the national cemeteries.
We are unwilling to believe that such
an incident could have occurred any
where else than in Philadelphia; or that
it will DE regarded elsewhere at the
North with any feeling other than
shame and contempt.
