The abolition of the Purchase system in the
British Army by royal warrant appears to
have fallen like thunderbolt in England.
The leading newspapers Of The capital differ
widely, of course, in their views on the
ongrossing topic, but all appear to be very
dogmatic in asserting their own peculiar
opinions. Although some ominous hints OF
what was coming had been dropped in the
Parliamentary debates on tho Army bill,
nobody seems to have expected the royal
edict-or, at least, none could have expected
it to follow 50 promptly the defeat Of The bill
in the House OF Lords; and it is natural that
the astOnished defenders of Purchase should,
as soon as they recovered breath, cry out
that the Queens warrant il unconstitutional
But the British Constitution has been found
flexible enough heretofore, and it will prob
ably stand this new strain.

an opinion of The TRIBUNE was in reality

meeting Of citizens in the Park, held after the

Edward Strahan and chiefly advocated by
Isaiah Rynders, but reported in The TRIBUNE
only to be condemned. Knowing this, it again

infamy save the trust that we would not

INSANITY AND homicide.

We have cautioned our readers against aC-
ceptng with unrcserved faith the stories about
Mira. Wharton which have filled the newspa-
pers ever since her arrest but the alleged in
cdents of her career illustrate so fully the
connection which sometimes exists between
nervous disease and nSrder that it may be
worth our while to examine them from sci
cntific point of view. 1t must be understood
that we do not assume their correctness; we
take tnem as the particulars OF hypothetical
cases but if they are true there need be no
difficulty in accounting for the extraordinary
series of crimes of which this Baltimore lady
is accused.
In her youth Mrs. Wharton (then Miss MI
eept) ia said 10 have been Il lady of great per-
sonal attractions, brilliant, yiVacious and re-
markedly extrayagant. For no conceivable
purpose she suddenly announced that she was
about TO be married to a gentleman who had
never been her suitOr and who seems even TO
have been unaware Of the honor
designed for him. Every preparation
was made for the wedding; the bride
and the clergyman were ready; and it was
only when the bridegroom failed to present
himself and was searched for by the lady's
friends that the true state of the case was
ascertained. 1t was determined that Miss Nu-
gent should be sent TO iunatic asylum, but
before this could be done she eloped with
Major Wharton. Her married life is said to
have been very happy; she was an affection
ate wife and mother; and we do not hear that
she manifested any symptom of insanity after
her strange matrimonial deusion. 1t is as
serted that she is subject to epileptic fits, but
we do not know how long she has been so.
Within few years several of her relatives,
including her husband and son, have died
suddenly in her house, and it is now believed
that she has poisoned them. Gen. Ketchum
was certainly poisoned in her house by some
body, and an attempt was made at the same
time to kill Mr. Van Ness.
If these statements are correct we have
here all the symptoms of neurosis, or nervous
disease, breaking out first III form of acute
insanity especially common to women, then III
epilepsy, and finally in homicidal mania. The
nervous disorder of which insanity is one of
the outward FORMS may remain latent for
years, or indicate itself only III slight physical
ailments and harmless eccentricities, or, under
favorable conditions may never manifest 1t
self at all. On the other hand, 1t may vary
its shapes in countless ways, appearing now
in the form of hallucinatioD, now as melan-
choia. as mania, az n temporary perversion of
the moral sentiments, IA impulsive insanity,
which depriyes the patient of all self-control,
although 1t leaves the reason unclouded, or,
finally, IA eonvulsive affection, like epilepsy
or chOrea. II Is . notable fact. having di

there may DO mistake possible, we give the exact
words used by Mayor Hall, published in the Phiadcl-
pha paper aforesaid:

question. What Mayor Hall stated and The World COM
mented upon that THE TRIBUsEof ls49 called for the
closing Of the Astor-place Theaer in ddvance 0fhe
riots" This which is the gst of the whole matter, THE
TRIBUNE does not so much pretend to deny
The facts OF the simple enough. THE
TRIBUNE in 1919 was a Wing party paper, fishing on
its own hook the while in the troubled waters OF phan
thropy. Before the Asorplace riots came OF, THE
TRIBUNE the ealing or an actor To be AT the
best but ga miserable VOCATION" sought to avert the
odium Of bloOdshed from the City Government and the
Wings by causing tue heaer to be shut up. After the
riot had occurred and the troops had done their work.
The TRIBUNE rallied to the support OF the authorities
that being then the vsiby strongest line, and indeed
the only line OF country possible to be taken by part
OF the authorities
We repeat that we do not believe Mayor
Hall ever said what is above attributed to him,
because he is not fool enough to lie so shame
lessly and stupidity. The World is. Its articles
show that it has carefully consulted our
columns of May, 1s49. 1t knew therefore,
/. When it charged The TRIBUNE with seek
ing to avert the odium of bloodshed from the
City Government and the Wings by causing
the theater to be shut up, that there Uas not
one sentence or clause Of a sentence IN any issue
Of The TRIBUNE, before or after the riot hold
ing or limiting at such a view, or indeed at
anything on this subject, but the exact opposite.
Knowing this, it lied deliberately shamelessly,
and foOlishly-having no possible hope for es-
cape from its infamy save the trust that we
would not think it worth while to expose it..

PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY

While other States are unwisely multiplying
their colleges, Kentucky has taken step IN
the other and better direction. Her old Tran
sylyania University has been united with the
younger Kentucky University, which has been
removed from HarrOdsburgh to Lexington,
where it has secured for site Henry Clay's old
homestead, Ashland, with Woodlands" ada
cent, together comprising 433 acres of the finest
land in America. The renovated Kentucky
University now consists of five colleges, devoted
respectively to Arts, Law, Theology, Commerce,
Agriculture, and Manufactures. 1t has secured
for the latter the endowment of Public Lands
wisely granted by Congress to Kentucky, IN
common with her sister States, in aid OF IN
structiOn in Agriculture and Mechanics, and
closed its last term with nearly 700 students.
Mr.. J. 3. Bowman, the Regent, raised by vol
untary contributions the Sl25,OOO needed TO
purchase the grounds, and has given years
without compensation to its service; and it IS
mainly through his efforts that IFS entire prop
erty is now valued at $SjO,000 Many students
support themselves by labor on the farm or IN
the workshops OF the University. It's Agricul-
cultural department is regarded as equal to
that of any Western college. Prof. Patterson
is at the head of this department, while to
Regent Bowman the credit is given of having
breathed a new life into the University as
whole.
1t will crafty many friends of Harry Clay
to hear that Lexington gives a large Repub-
lican majority, and that the County (BOurbon)
was nearly balanced last year, and is expected
to give a majority next month for Gen. John
NJ. Harlan, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. Ignorance and prejudice, though strong
ly intrenched, are losing ground in Kentucky,
and her renovated University is training her
of Emancipation.

THE COLLEGE OARSHEN.

Naturally our cOllegians have found in row.
ing their most practical rivalry in physical
education, and the regattas which have for
many years been the closing event of the col
lege year have been the most exciting features
of student life. Yale with her broad harbor
and Harvard with her smooth river
have taken the lead, but there is
no reason why many other colleges
should not-like Brown and Amherst-enter
the lists. With the American, as with the
English crews, success has been One-sided,
Harvard, on this side the water, being the
winner for many successive years, and Oxford
showing a like score in England.
But the contest has now assumed broader
aspect. Instead of two contestants only, all
the colleges are invited to send in their crews,
and to-day we record a success for the newest
entry over the most dreaded opponent. The
quarrel between Yale and Harvard, through
which the former college was unrepreseDted,
was unfortunate, on whichever side the blame
rested. But as the races are now in the hands
of more general committee, such misunder-
standings will probably be avoided in future.
The Amherst boys who have found leisure
to ply the oar while studying and practicing
agriculture, carry off the prize-making time,
indeed, which has only once been beaten in
American college regattas. The inference will
at once be drawn that the open
air with plows and hoes forms a better
gymnasium than a close room with
weights and phleys; and the men who disre-
garded the farmers yesterday morning, in
their calculations of the result, will next year
be more willing to believe that Yale and Har-
ward are not the only colleges to furnish ia
nous crews.

No Negro Policy-what does that meant Young
Mr. Adams of Boston has granted an interview TO a
reporter Of The Boston Post, and within an inch of
his life has this neophyte been examined; and this
Is among his oracular outpourings: 1.-The Demo
cratic party should have no negro policy any more
than German policy or an Irish policy. There can
be but one Democratic policy; and that should be
equal and exact justice to every citizen Now, it
seems TO us that considering the political status of
the Blacks it is simply childish to talk of excluding
it from political discussion and If il possible
and desirable, clearly the Democracy has neither
awaited itself of the chance any than il has done
its duty. For this party has always had distinct,
welrecognized and well-defned Negro Policy.
changing it is true with changing circumstances.
While Slavery existed it did all it could TO keep the
negro in bondage. and that was policy, however
bad one. During that time in this State il exerted
it's whole power TO keep the ballot Of the hands
of the BLACKS, and that too was policy--a negro
policy, as Mr.. Adams calls it. When the emancipa-
ton agitation began. the Democrats denounced all
discussion of the subject, aud when the Kansas
agitation came up, pray did the Democrats have no
negro policy! Aud now this fresh young Democrat
