The Harmless Insane.
T WOULD seem that c.xpeiicnte
has been bitter enough and the
dissemination of news plentiful
enough to piecnt such scenes
that In Leavenworth, Kansas,
as
wheie an ln.-aiie man shot foui peo
ple and killed two of these. He had
been known as "iiieei" foi some
years; Indeed, had spent seveial
months In an asylum, but was later
allowed his libcity. He had repeated
ly thieatoned tho life of om- man and
was dail seen piactlclug .shooting
with a lovolver. Yet no slepx weie
taken for the safety of the public.
Such Incidents ate of frequent op
cuiience. Scaicely a day passer, when
somebody who was a "little queer'
does not commit some honlbln deed.
It may be a mothci who cuts the
throats of her sleeping little ones, or
while mentally unbalanced drowns
them and heiself It may be a man
who for eais has announced his In
tention of killing his wife. Finally
one day, when the heat has perhaps In
tensified the agarics of his diseased
luain, he does what he has pionilsed,
and the people speak of It as a dispen
sation of Piotdpnre. Seldom Is It that
thfse hotilhle ci lines occur without
warning. But families teel so dis
graced to be obliged to place telatlves
In retreats that they allow their In
sane fiiends unrestricted fieedom and
almost Invatiably some woeful result
ensues.
Unfoitunately it Is not only the
families of the mildly Insane who are
In peril because of this teprehenslble
shrink from what Is manifestly th
only sefislble course, as in the Leaven
worth ease. Too otten the entire com
munltrls in danger, nnd the time will
come when such aftalrs will be con
slrleied the business of the community
and public action will be taken to
safeguard those In the vicinity of the
so-called lrarniless Insane,
The people of this city and vicinity
are certainly Ions suffering and slow
to nnger. Anywheie else on the face
of the earth they would have risen
In their soie displeasure and have
smitten somebody violently If they had
been compelled to walk anywhere
from three to six blocks In trnns
feirliifCfrom one car to another alonj;
a street which was being paved. Yet
that Is what they lme done for
monthson the Piovldence and Feck
vllle lltjes, and that Is what they are,
continuing to do In the blUteilng
heat. In any other city, some meas
ures w'ould bo taken to compel thu
paving company to make as little in
terference as possible with stieet car
traffic. In most cities, In fact, pav
ing operations are carried on with no
transferring at all, care being taken
to provide for the conveyance of cars
across the disturbed space. ' It is
nothing short of nutratjeous that
patrons of the Scranton street railway
should be oblljced to pay fare and then
walk six blocks of the distance and
find no cars waiting at the other end,
as lt frequently the enso. Surely the
Scranton public pays denrly for some
of Its Impiovetuents.
Profesor Moore, chief nf the weather
bureau, makc it dignified nnd iltting
reply to transparently malicious ciltl
clsm when he says: "The words nnd
nets of evctv public olllclal are mat
lets that should be dlioiis'Od nnd
criticised by tho ptess. Tho Amctlcan
ptess, which Is the least venal nnd
most heroically hone.t of any In tho
world, Is mote feared by dishonest
and Ineniclent otllclaN than ate the
statute ngalnt crime. Peisonal
malice may. In Isolated cases, prompt
nn attack, hut In such cases theie will
be defendPts If thy attack It unjust."
11 Is obvious from the number and
quality of Piofpsor Moote's defen
der that the attacks upon him are
generally tecognlzed un unjust.

Is not only of fur-teaching Importance
In the Inlluence It Is bound to exetciae
upon the destinies of the other Hands
of the West Indies, whose e.uly annex

cpitaln nt anything In tuttitlty can be,
Inasmuch as their pioducts must have
cotiespondlng fieedom of access to our
maiketa and cannot hope to get It ex
cept through annexation, but It Is also
significant ns showing the unsubstan
tial foundation uf the popular outcry
which attended the Imposition of the
fractional taiiff.
When this meaure was pending we
weto told with stienuou etnphasN by
the Demntiatic politicians and ptess,
teinforced by some emotional Republi
cans, that It was a hi each of faith, nn
ai t of cruelty to a suffcilng dependent
people and a dear token that the policy
of expansion meant tapaclous spoli

Today theie Is not a ttace of thl gust

with which to sustain the Porto Rlcan
admlnlstiatlon until its own machlneiy
of taxation tould be flamed nnd put
Into successful execution was then
overwhelming and has since been
cleatly lonflrniPd. At the same time
the public conditions of the Mand have
steadily giown better: thoe of Its
population who would bo piospeious
under any clicum'tances have taken
heait of hope and plunged with enthusi
asm Into rnteiprle-es of commeiie and

No doubt some mistakes hae bocn

All American King?
Wi: ARK accustomed to
hear fiom Colonel Bryan
and the pessimistic gen
tlemen compiislng the
Antl-Imperlallstic league the sugges
tion that If the Ameilcan people don't
wotth out they will have a king to uilo
over them. Prom this qtiaiter the sug
gestion Is dlsciedlted because known
to leflect simply a kink In the minds of
good men gone wiong.
Rut help comes the same thought
from an entirely dltfeient and politi
cally unjaundlced souice: to wit. one
Mr. Wylelgh. of .Melbourne, Australia.
Mr. Wylelgh Is In Washington on busi
ness and tells the Post that the United
States should voluntailly exchange
Its lepubllcan form of government for
that of a constitutional monaiehy,
adopting the lelgnlng family of Great
Britain for Its royal house. He sug
gests that with its colonial possessions
and wider world power, the United
States will find Its pichent foim of
government inadequate to Its new re
sponsibilities. Following Is his idea
more In detail:
"It has occuned to me that though
republicanism might do for a small,
poor country like Swltzeiland, this
gicat countiy, with Its vast Interests,
has quite outgiown this foim of gov
ernment, the periodical picsidentlal
elections seeming to have u very dis
turbing effect. How grand it would
be It thesp United States were to ip
Joln the British people, whom they
should never have left, and piesent to
the world a great Anglo-Ameilcan em
plie? It would bo simply a progiesslve
movement, not a i evolutionary one.
Such a chango would, of com so, have
to be discussed by tho pres and people
and votes taken for or against It, and
congress afterward left to tlnally de
cide tho nutter. If adopted, the mon
arch could be half his time on this side,
and while hete a icgent would pieslde
In England; when tho king wbb in
Biltaln the icgent would bo In Amer
ica. Instead of a ptesldent you would
have a premier chosen by congtess,
and would make your own laws, taiiff,
etc., precisely as you do now. Consti
tutional monarchy, as It exists In the
British emplie, Is most undoubtedly the
best form of government In the world,
Should America In this way annex
England and the vast British empire,
It would be a pretty near approach to
a universal Yankee nation, and with
CJerniany In close alliance theie would
be a .sine guarantee of peace for all
time."
Thill Would bo a snverninent trust
with a vengeance. If Mr. Wylelgh has
lead, the platfoims of the vailous par
ties which who, in things mi in Ameri
can politics he must know that tho
Ynnkro people, mound election time at
least, aie opposed to trusts.
Theiv ate people who labor under
the hiLlluclnntlon that the Schley In
vestigation will effectually settle nil
further arguments on the subject
which has ngltated tho public for mote
than two years. It will do nothing of
the soil, except In the case of news
paper readeis who taie not which
way the case Is decided All the par
tisans of elthel side now will bo par
tisans who hellovo In their respective
favoiltes then. This has been the his
tory of nil famous "military disputes,
from the days of Alexander down to
this hour. It has been the history of
the celebrated controversies In which
i5i ant, MeadP, Sickles, Pltz-John
Porter nnd others have figured, and
will be the same In the Schley affair,
for
A min convinced acilntt his will
Is of the Mine opinion still.
At the same time tho Investigation
was unavoidable.
The opinion 'of several lawyers ot
this state that a wife can go through
her husband's clothes and remove any
thing she may happen to fancy from
his pockets without fear of the law,
will add gaiety to tho views of life en
tei talned by fair Pennsylvania. One
lawyer Involved In the discussion was
disposed to hold to the assertion that
a wife had no more right to such a
procedure than a husband had to In
vestigate the pockets of her gowns.
This calls up a smile upon the face of
the public, for the man docs not live
who can successfully locate the pocket
In his wife's frock. Our neighbor,
John M. (J.iiman, esq., was the only
man Inteiested In the discussion who
held to a contraty opinion as to a wife's
lights. He solemnly dcclaied that a
wife who took such liberties with her
husband's pockets could be convicted
of larceny, all ot which seems amaz
ingly ungallant of John.

Day of Revels at
the Pan-American
Special Coriespondeiue of Thu Tribune.
UiiftHlo. July 25. At a Joint meeting
of the exposition officials and the Mid
way concessionaires:, held July 20, It was
nnanged to hold a great carnival at the
Pan-Ameilcaii on which unprecedented
rev eh y shall reign from motnlng until
midnight. No other exposition has ever
attempted or dated to attempt any
thing of the kind, It will be tho great
est gala event the history of exhibitions
has recorded. Computed with It a com
bination of the Mardl Gias, the rose
festivals of Southern California, the
water fete of Venice, the winter carni
val on the Nava, the confetti days at
Naples, the martial feasts nf the Em
plie of Rome and tho Oriental fetes on
the Bosphorus, will barely admit of
compatlson.
Ace oi ding to the plans piomulgated,
this day at the Rainbow city will sur
pass In every respect of grandeur, Im
mensity nnd unique beauty any of the
gieat festivals famous In modern or
ancient hlstoiy. The modern day ac
cessories of electtlclty, transportation
futilities and meohanlcal Ingenuity, to
gethei with a tesolve to spate no ex
pense, makes this possible. Not less
than $100,000 will be spent on the pio
Ject, nnd the value of the servlies con
ti Ibii ted by the Midway concessional! es
and othcis will actually make the affair
a giand, qtiaiter of a million dollar
pioducllon, as the theatrical press
agent would say. C'onccsslonaltes
Dundy, Thompson, McGarvIe, McCon
nell and Rostock were named as a com
mittee to execute the project. In con
Junction with the exposition manage
ment. Frederick Thompson furnished
the plan of features. They have all
been foimallv approved.
o
A 10 o'clock In the morning of Satur
day, Aug. 3, the levels will begin with
a pageant of all nations, In which all
the Midway attractions and a host ot
outside people will participate. This
lino will wind about the giounds, a
splendid cavalcade of costume and
color, nnd with the blare of tiumpets.
will heiald tho opening. At 11.30
theie will be a water carnival, all sorts
of gaily bedecked ciaft laden with cos
tumed merrymakers, to fill the lagoons
the canals. In this event It Is Intended
to outdo the famous water fetes ot
Venice. At high noon a man will make
a sensational high dive from the sum
mit of the Electric Tower Into a deep
di edged portion of the giand canal.
In the afternoon the gayety will be
confined chiefly to tho big Stadium, the
seating capacity ot which is to be In
ci eased. For several hours nn Im
mense modem circus will pievall; also
a Wild West show with all the excite
ment of sham Indian fights and the
startling horsemanship of vaquero, ted
man and cow puncher. Several unique
features have been decided upon ie
slrios tho regular gamut of bareback
llding, tumbling and high wire work.
A handicap iace between an auto
mobile, a camel, an elephant, a horsj
and a bicycle has already been at
ranged; also a foot race between ropic
sentatlves of every iace at the Pan
American: a horse rece to bring out
the riding supeilorlty between an
Arab, a Mexican, an Indian, a Filipino
and an Ameilcan cow boy, and a purss
iace between a Mexican peon on a
burro and an Esquimau In a sled drawn
by a dog team. A cakewalk of all i a
tions will furnish amusement of lighter
vein.
o
In the evening, aside fiom pyio
tcchnlcs which will go up continuous
ly from vailous points about the
grounds, spectacular ballets and
dances hv women of all nations will
take place In the basin of the Court
of Fountains. A platform will be
elected awash with the suiface of tho
water, and this, together with special
elcctilcal nnd calcium effects, will af
ford a sight of beauty never before
witnessed. All day thete will bo
revels along the Mldwny, which will
culminate with a parade of the beau
ties of all nations nt night. Military
organizations will participate, pait of
w hlch w 111 be In special costume In
repiesentatlon of the coionatlon ceie
monles of feudal days, and the tilum
phal marches of tho armies of the nn
clcnts. The object of Uhis most un
usual special day is to create a fin or
of Pan-American enthusiasm through
out tho country nnd secure great dally
attendances the remainder of the ex
position season,
o
nirector (Jeneial Buchanan said:
"Tho events of the day will .well be
worth the trouble and expense of a
tianscontinontal or a tiansoceanlo
tilp." Each nnd every Midway con
cpssslonaiie has unselfishly pledged ar
dent suppoit. Not only will they
contribute talent and eneigy, but their
valuable time. Already several con
cessional! cs have left for the various
big cities to make atrangements for
the carnival. The affair is to bo ad
vertised, ananged and executed after
the methods of the professional show
mnn, and this auguis great success.
An effort will be made to have August
8 declalcd a municipal holiday, and
the Influence of the dlrectoiate will be
brought to bear to have all the large
stores nnd manufacturing plants close
for the event. It Is to be hoped that
the enthe population living within a
leasonahle distance of Buffalo will
atouse from the lethniglu sleep which
holds them In somnolent apathy, and
awake to the fact that on .Saturday,
August 3, the Pan-Ameilcan exposi
tion will unfold Itself In a buist of
glory which will easily outdo the gor
geousness of an Arabian Nights' tale,
and In the transcendent beauty of this
day's great revels, give unto the whole
world an Idea of how easily an earthly
Paradise can be treated.

contestants and preventing the possibility of any speculator from
entering the last day or two and purchasing a $1,000 scholarship
by presenting the names of his friends as new subscribers and
paying for them himself. While nothing of this sort was attempted
last year, the close of the contest demonstrated that it would have
taken much less than $1,000 to have purchased the first special
reward, as the winning contestant had onlv secured for The
Tribune less than $400 in new subscriptions. The Tribune desires
to protect tne contestants that are working so nobly for it and will
use its best endeavor to have every feature of the contest perlectly
fair, and it wishes it distinctly understood that the lewards of
fered are in no sense for sale, but will positively go to the con
testants who secure the largest number of points, which will be
credited only lor new and legitimate subscribers.
Tine Special Rewards;
Scholarship in Lafayette College $1,000

Three Scholarships in Scranton Business
