PRIVILEGES OF THE pIcp.

As rule it Is needless to comment upon such cases ae that of Harry Thaw, already too notorious, or the more recent legal entanglements of the Hains brothers The public has it's clear-cut opinions of such things. All eerious-minded citizens will be found disposed to the opinion that it would be far better did the pistol of the would-be murderer of this class ex- plode, when discharged, with the result that the world were rid of all concern ed at the same time. But since that is impossible, if there must be long and lengthy trials with trumped-up de- fences of insanity and appeals 10 the 'unwrltten law" then the necessity of just such legal reforms as Mir Taft is now urging and promising his best ef- forts, if elected, to bring about is again made apparent
 It Is quite as necessary that wealth be as poweress to interfere with the strict enforcement of justice in crim- inal proceedings as in civil proceed ings It is quite necessary that the wealth of the Thaw or any family shall not be able to save one of it's members from the punishment a pennlless man would have to face, as that the wealth of the Standard oil company shall not save 1t, if guilty under the civil law. from paying fines an ordinary business man, without much capital, would have to pay. But not only that. The moneyed criminal, like Thaw, should not be entitled to more than the poor est man in court, jail or asylum. There is no excuse for Thaw being accorded such privileges in the Duchess county jail as are described in the report of the New York state commission on . pllSollo' III lIlht iopoil IL iS Sdlu lndl Thaw has been allowed the freedom of a whole corridor in the jail-house, when there have been many cases right about him where two men have been occu- pying two cells.
 Harry Thaw has been adjudged to be criminally insane He chose to escape the electric chair by presenting de- fense of insanity, Now that defense has been accepted, he is quite as truly a prisoner as any man in Sing Sing until he has recovered mentally and is no longer dangerous to society In the meantime, 1t IS a privilege to which he

is not entitled and ono which his fam fly wealth alone brings him when he is allowed to take outings that others similarly sentenced cannot take, to re- ceive food that others similarly sen fenced do not get, or to be subjected to any discipline to which others simi- larly sentenced are not subjected
 Without doubt much reform Is needed In our court ltgatlons, Mr. Taft may be depended upon to bring that change about. if 1t can be done But the influence of the money of the rich man does not stop here. Even when found guilty, money may make his lot In prison or asylum far more bearabe for him. There Is need of q further reform in this direction to the end that we may have perfect justice 10 all men, poor or rich, in this land or the free.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.

The two national organizations hav- ing attached in advance a significance to the election this year in the state of Vermont and the significance attached by them having been accepted by the public at large, the result may be said to have an artificial meaning for the political mathematicians. We are still of the judgment that had less atten- ton been riveted on the Green Noun tain state. the local contest would have come and departed without lively com- ment. The republicans were looking for an Increased vote which they could howl about, and the democrats were looking for decreased vote which would enable them to point with certainty to the downfall of their historic adversaries.
 It Is difficult to see how either party can take much comfort out of tho con- duct of the voters of Vermont this month. There was no kicking of lively heels in either party The republicans sent some of their big guns. including Representative Hill of this state, to pass out the party gospel, but the dem ocrats, with the exception of Mir. VII Hams of Massachusetts and Mir Troup of this state. fought their own battle with local ammunition. The result ap- pears to be slight reduction over four and eight years ago, but If ap- piled to the various states of the union would scarcely show that the republi. can party Is this year doomed 10 de- feat. As compared with twelve years ago, when MT.
