A CRANK EPIDEMIC.
what's the Matter with the People
Throughout the Country3

There seems to be an epidemic in the
crank line. Recently an Italian named Maccaluso
hurled revolver from the gallery to the floor OF
the Chamber Of Deputies while speech was in
progress still later comes an announcement that
a fellow had been trying TO get shot at the Em'
peror William. The recent attempts on Guiteau
and the visit made to President Arthur not long
since show up all together too thick. We expect
any day to hear similar news. The laws have
treated the plea Of insanity SO generously that n
man rather likes to be crank. The class who
pitch In and act queer do not distinguish between
notoriety and fame, but they go at II slap-d dash,
the higher the victim the more they Will see their
cursed names in print.
AN EPIDEMIC BROKE OUT
some years ago In Ohio which took the form of
suicide nom love. Every few days new one was
added to the list of the "solf destroying victims of
the tender passion" They were sympathized
with, flowers spread over their graves, touching
obituaries were written, pretty givls and lovely
boys wept, tunblcd into love, aud went and did
likewise. IL became mOnotOnOus. No family ielt
safe. The utterly 70 utter young man might
dress up to go and "Wilt thoug' IN tender tone;
never know but what II would be the last time
they would look on his "manly" form.
THE YOUNG LADY DECLINED
10 wilt he had only to seek relief IN the usual way
At last In one paper the tender obituaries stopped
and, rs n Wostcrrer would say, "tho almighticst
kind " OF ridculc was hoaped on the nonsCnslcaI
performance. II stopped the business, however
and love suicides were heard of no more, Stern
prompt action made them unpopular and stern
prompt action with "cranks," whether religious Oi
non religious, will make them unpopular. There

The sort OF Gossip That IL Now Circulated

When Wayne MacVeagh was cautioned
about some of the men who were acting for the
Government in the star-route investigations last
spring, his reply was Oh, well, mustset thief
TO catch thief In this business Such. at least,
is the reply he was reported to have made, lie
proceeded all through upon this idea, and his
action In other respects makes the story that Rer
dell tells all the more readily believed. There was
nothing in MaCNcnghs conduct which makes II
impossible to accept Rcdcls charge that Mac
Neagh desired him to pllicr certain private papers
in order to obtain evidence. The result
of MacVeagh's idea about the proper
way TO cary on the Investigation
and the prosecutions was and Is what might have
been expected. lie succeeded in bringing around
him number Of men, some of whom were mutu-
ally distrustful, distrused everybody else In
the case and some Of them were more or less jenl-
Gus of Others A more discordant, mutually
distrustful number of special counsel,
agents, and detectives probably never
worked together on case. With the
best evidence In the world the Government could
not have succeeded In prosecuting the star.route
conspirntors under such circumstances. Along
toward the last few weeks before MacVeagh ran
away these jealousies aud suspicious began to be
felt by James friends at least and to- day 1.-THE Post

something that his closest Official and personal
