The ThaW Verdict.

The jury finds that Harry Thaw
was not guilty because insane. The
court promptly commits him to an
asylum for the criminally insane.
Forthwith the counsel for Thaw an
nounee their purpose to start
habeas corpus proceedings to re-
lease him from the asylum, on the
ground that though he may have
been insane when the crime-that
is. what would otherwise have been
a crime-was committed, he is now
sane.
Thus is the circuit to be com
pleted. Not one person in the score
of those who read the Thaw verdict
last evening doubted that Thaw
would presently be set free. 1t is
regarded as simply a matter Of time
time enough to conform to the
most limited demands of semi
decency-till the man who killed

Ideal Ticket.

A good many OF the Taft men are say
ing that a Taft-Hughes ticket would M
the bill well, especially since Governor
Hughes has in his speech Endorsed the
President, and made il clear that IN gen
eraI he is for the same policies as IS the
present Administration They are say
ing that with Hughes on the ticket and
the Republicans of New York united for
him there would be almost no question
of Republican success in the next cam
paign. Beyond any question, the fac
tionaI differences in New York between
Republicans are causing much appfe-
hension among Republican leaders

A great lie trembling, stood
And pleaded at the gates of my belief,
Why. Wonder Heart
I'd know the lie was good,
And told, perhaps, to hide another's grief
If in the soul of you lie.
If in the heart of you
A sweeter love than mine
Had stormed the fortress of your souls desire
Then, Blessed Heart,
I'd know the soul was fine
AS great white thoughts of thine, changeful
