THE RELEASE OF CRIMINAL INSANE.

No fair-minded person can read the opinion of Justice Mills in the Thaw case without admiring it's strength. it's reasonableness. its luc.dity and its impartiaiity The question whether Thaw is now insane is, of course, a question of fact, and unfortunately the evils of our system" of expert testi- mony make it as hard as possible to penetrate the facts of any case so com plicated and obscure as that of the no- torious Matteawan patient. But If all judges were as careful, as judicious. as able as Justice Mills. society would have little reason to complain of the results of abuses of the habeas corpus writ by the families and friends of the criminal insane, says the Record-Her- ald
 That the writ has been fagrantly abused in this dangerous class of cas- es admits of no doubt In his last an nual report the superintendent of the Matteawan Hospital gave the history of forty-three such New York cases. and a disquietiEg, extraordinary rec ord it was. In thirty-four instances the courts released inmates who had been convicted of crime but adjudged insane. Of the number fourteen found their way back to prison or asylum. eight showed signs Of serious mental disturbance, six soon disappeared from view, two committed suicide and one was to some extent self-sustaining.
 It seems that of late. resort to the writ of habeas corpus has been more than ordinarily frequent in New York n behalf of the criminal insane, and very likely the success of so many Ire lators" fin securing discharge through verdicts of judges and juries impressed with their apparent sanity during the trial is responsible for the abuse of the writ. Legislation restricting the scope and frequency of habeas corpus proceedings in this direction has been earnestly advocated by some lawyers and laymen, but there is a strong and deep aversion to any "tampering with the ancient writ" that has so we'll served, under other conditions, the cause of personal and civil liberty as against tyrannical rulers and official usurpers.
 A golden mean between license and undue restriction should, however, be devised and provided for by the stat ute. There Is grave possibility of scandal. perl and disgrace in a sys. i tenn which enables possessors of long purses to run from judge to judge, ob. tain writ after writ, with or without plausible ground. in the hope of find ing weak magistrate or sentimen tai. susceptible. easily misled jury The criminal insane have rights under
 the law. but so has society, and SC have its members who are neither in sane nor. criminal.

rypes of Unseifshnese.

There are two types of unselfish' ness. One is always found in connec. ton with noble self-esteem that pre- vents the virtue from degenerating into a vice; the other is associated with self-effacement, lack of fndi- viduality, a fickleness of will that make its owner merely a vehicle for a consp'cuous exhibition of self-sacri- fee.

Whether Il would have been good for him 10 have lived

atze as maSterfu genius at gaSping and assembling de-
tails there is no question.
That he was needed in the evolution of the nation and

be no doubt
II may even be said that he has influenced the govern
