Mr. Sinalley, who may be salu to speak for tha Jirltish Government so ontiraly docs ho reprosont its side of the question In the von- troversy with tho Irish, in effect adtuits that the arrest of Parnell was without strict legal justificatton, In his New York Z'rtbune cor- respondence he says of Parnell: “Ife bo- Heved, and Lam bound to say he had some color for lis belief, that he contd brave the Covernment with impunity so long as ho kept within the letter: of tho law. And again: “Iq forgot, of perhaps did not know, that thera fs 0 Umit to Engtlsh respect for legal technivalities, and that there is ono maxhy tq whieh, whatever hls pollttes or sympathies, avery Englishman subscribes, ‘The safety of the Kingdom 1s the supremo lnw. ‘Iho people of England, tho immense maforily of them, hava long been convinced that Mr, Parnell ought to be shut up.” Mr Smalley quotes a wit as saying, “Lf Dr. Forster hud not, arrested Mr, Parnell, Mr Parnell was likely before long to arrest Mr, Forster,” and adds: “That Is not truoin the letter, of course, but It ls perfectly trio that tho league was better obeyed thar the castle.” Again Mr. Smalley says: “yho téMantry bad “really come to consider hha [Parvell) irresistible, A ride shook will be given to this no- tlon by his imprisonment.

Ina word, Mr. Parnell was arrested because ho had organized the only sort of revolution that could possibly make head against the British. Goyernment—a revolution resting solely ou negations, The only unswor to the league order to tenauta to pay no rent was unlyersal eviction, aitd in the end unt- yorsal evivtion meant starvation to the land-, lords as well as to the tenants, The no-ront order of tho league was the equivalont of a proposition to wipe out, a8 with a sponge, the lust pongy of the fitteen million pounds of tho Inndlords! rent-roli,, But to do all this tt Wns not proposed to titke ono unconstitu- tloual step, Against the proposition uf the tenunt to pay uo rent the landlord had his leuulvemedyevivdouraud Aln Cladstous’a elinrae ngalnst Parnell at Leeds, that “hoe had preached the gospel of public plunder,” and, inter, bly assertion that “tho doctrine of *no rent? was sheer raping,” were not Justl- fel by the situation from a strictly loyal point of view. ‘Tho only ground upon whieh the charaeterfaation of the no-rent doctrine ag “public plunder” and “sheer rapine” could bo Justified would be tho assumption of tho right of the British Government not to ald tandlords tn ovieting non-paying ten- ants, but to aht thom fn compelling tenants to tit the soll and pay rents, Of course, this ls a monstrously absurd proposition, but It-Is in fnet the proposition to which tho Government In desperation has "been forced to commit itself. For it has undertaken forcibly to brenk down the Land League by arresting its feaders on the ground Uist they have “ preached *the gospel of piblic plun- der” and “shear rapine,? when In fact they have done nothing of the sort, but, ou ‘the contrary, have relied upon penceable mens- ures, upott negations, Mr, Smalley Is quite right m characterizing the Sritish Irish pol- ley as “ the logie of the clenchut fist.” . SOME CURIOSITIES IN ORIME, Within the past day or two the Chiengo cours have furnished several cases, which, if not exactly belonging to the category of oqtuaces celebres, are at feast curious enough to attract more than ordinary attention, ‘The nost notable of these cases was that whieh resulted In tho discharge of Mrs. Robert, who has been confined In the Insane asylum during the past two yerrs. Some- thing more than two years azo this Mrs. Robert killed na man named Weber, whose utlstress shu lind been many yenrs before. Weber had given Mrs. Robert an allowance during tho lifetine of a boy who was sup- posed to be the offspring of their illictt rela- tlons, but cut off this allowance after the ehitt’s denth, ‘Lhe woman had mate re- pented efforts to secure means for her auj- port or indemnification for Injuries which she claimed ag the result of her acquaintance with Weber, and ono day during the progress of aconference on this subject shot Weber. The defenso put forward tu her behalf was insanity, and the jury before which she was. tried returned yerdict finding that she had killed Weber, but also that she was insane at the tle she committed the act, and that she liad not at the time of the trial fully reeov- ered from her insanity, Sho was taken to tha asylum under an order of tho Court, ant has now been discharged, after two yenrs of confinement, as perfectly sane and entitled to freedont from restraint, "The opinion delivered by ditutge Rogers in ordering the discharge of Mrs. Robert is full of sienifieance, He could not, of course, In his Judiclal capacity declare outright that the verdict acquitting Mrs, Robert of responst- bility for the murder of Weber was a farco, but he has intimated very broadty that guch Is lig opluton, “Wo all know that in cases of thiy kind,” says dudgo Rogers, ‘tho -recognition of insanity as a defense in erim- inal prosecutions 1s frequently the fast refuge of our overeredulous and too sympathetic Jurors”; and he adds that he does not feel justified “1n giving that. weight to the ver- diet whieh he would under other convictions of Insanity where tho facts leading up to homleldes by linatics were freo from the cmotional, sentimental, and sensational facts of the case we are now considering.” Judge Togers could not bo governed by a verdict which was evidently the result of false sym- pathy, found Mra. Robert a sane woman froin the evidence before him, and all but expressed the opinion that she had never been Insane, 2 ‘The bare {nets In tho Robert case sufttce to convince any senstbla person that this woman wns never insane, in the proper sense of tho tert), and that the plea of Insnuity was trumped up to seeure her acquittal on tho charge of murder, She killed Weber be- ciuse she had a grudge agalnst him. The Jury which tried her relleved her of tha re- sponsibility of tho homieide because It be- Hoved tior grndga was well grounded, and insanity was a more pretext for evading the pennity of tho law. 1f sympathy for the ac- oused and an estimate of previous injury were permitted in all cases to contons the taking of hunian Ife, the conyletions for muriler would be as few and far between 05 angels’ visits, So far, this false theory has beon applied mainly in murder cases where a woman is involved, cither as a principal or the cause of the homicide, A iman who kills nis wifes paramour ts nequitted on the ground of Insanity, though the jury beliove the nceusad to have aeted’not only In a de- Mberate manner, but sensibly and honorably. Mrs, Robert was adjudged insane because the jury thought, Weber had treated her paitly. "The Invw 18 sel aside in all theso enges, ant emotion tikes the place of Jurisprudence. Slow far sentiment may go in the way of ap- proving murder whenever a woman fs in- volved is question which ought to givo the community a good deal of concern, Proper consideration for the sanetity of hue min fife would suggest that Insanity which takes the shape of killing people, with a de- liberate purpose of revenging or punishing an alleged injury, {8 of that dangorous kind which, In ity pecullur character, is ncurnble; andl that such ingane persons, no mattor how anne they may be In all other inatters, aro subject to murderous outbreaks at any timo when there may bo what uppenrs to then % suMlcient provovation, The logical con- clusion from auch theory would bo that persons nequitted of responsibility tor murs der on account of emotional insanity shoul pe confined in some proper place during thelr natural lives, in order that thelr ento- tlon may not ut somo future tima betray them into killing othor persons, Tho 'Taylor divorce case must have been as embarrassing to Judge Anthony as tho Robert Insanity case was to Judge Rogers; aud it Mustrated another dofect In law whieh, though not so dangerous ns that whieh sets frea the emotionally Insane, Is a ingunce at domostle peace, ‘Taylor was able to procurg a divorce from his wife tn this clty a year bofore she became aware of the Tact, continugd living with hor during most of this period, got trunk on her earnings, and wound up by marrying another woman, ‘The ess before dudge Anthony wis to set aside the déeroa of separation provionsly granted by Judge Jameson, on the ground ihac It was procured by fraud, “The tesll- mony in the Intest suit was very conflicting, and tin Immense amount of lying. was done on one side or the other, Judge Anthony seems to havo been guided to a proper con- clusion (setting aside the divorce as fraudu- lent) malnly by the fact, reventot by the ovl- dence, that “Iaylor was dopraved enough to do everything that lad been charged upon him, and henca it wag fatrer to believe the evidence oftered by the wife than that offered by tho husband, Meanwhile an appeal against this dec}slon leaves two wives to one scoundrel—one with 0 child 8 years old and. the other with an uhborn ehild, and neither of thom with un assured status of thé seme: vole or the legitimacy of wifehood. ‘ho ranitications of the case were curious and InterestIng, but ft 1s not necessary torecount them tn order to show that preater care should bo exercised by our courts In diyores proceedings to guard against frauds and In- Juries that cau Hever be set right by subse- quent decrees, : Bi A study of such court proveadings as we have palsy told tade ub to tho coushuslen “proposition that it {s caloulated oxclusivoly tyr =< manner mannged to keep posted reward that the Inw does not afford that protection Ty which most people fondly tnagine, proposed place of meoting, and frustrated te a—eeenaeroeree dostguaof the frlendly potentates, It ig agi?
