Every One Went to See Nero and His

both in the afternoon and evening. Each
performance opened with the mammoth
spectacular production Nero" In this
we're two parades of soldiers, priests,
beautiful dancing girls and tiiumphal
chariots laden with precious cargoes of
beautiful women. After the parade there
was dancing and posturing By the pretti-

"Nero' was concluded with a beautiful
tableau formed of MANY groups of the
dancing women After "Nero" the three
ring circus performance opened. Here
there was amusement in abundance and
variety. japanese and American aero
bats, gracefully formed lady trapezists
and tumblers and men who performed
upon horizontal bars. There was also n
clown with trained dogs aud a monkey
and an elephant, all Of which performed
most interestingly.
The performance was interspersed with
chariot races, bareback races, hurdle
races, and a contest between a man and a
horse. The most unique feature of the
performance was q iady's daring feats
upon flying rings, which received great
applause. Superintendent Christie Smith
was present with a posse of police and IRE
served excellent order.

OF the character of these entertain
ments we nave frequent representations
on the British cups and vases. They
were too often frightful copies of the
worst fashions Of Rome. The bull fight,
with its besttdrius or natad0r, is seen
painted on the common pottery; it Is still
preserved in the national amusements of
Spain. Cock fights were also popu lar
everywhere, and game cocks with Ian
gerous spurs have left their bones among
the ruins. Athletic sports and chariot
races were no doubt as well attended in
Britain as It Rome or Constantinopl

The amusements of a nation indicate its
character and its fate; the nation that

decay. Progressive development toward
humanity and refinement can alone give
a lasting strength to political tnstitu-
tions, and Roman Britain persisted by its
own hand.
The barbarous thirst for inhnman spec
tacIes is seen everywhere in the Roman
remains. On the cups and vases that

Suspicious People.

People who suspect everybody are
very unhappy, and we know of no
remedy for their discomfort except
self-improvement. Let them root out
of themselves whatever vicious pro-
pensity they suppose to have its coun-
terpart in the breasts of ali mankind,
and their opinions of their fellow men
will at once change for the better.
People who have no faith in their
kind are dangerous persons to deal
with. Taking it for granted that
everybody with whom they come in
contact is bent on o~yerreaching them,
their object is to spike the enemy's
artillery by being the first to over
reach. Candor is lost upon them.
They consider it refined hypocrisy.
Favors they look upon as cunningly
devised lures, intended to lead them
into a trap, and while receiving them
willingly, chuckle inwardly at the
thought that they are old birds and
cannot be caught by any such de-
vices.
Nobody will lose anything by avoid.
lug such people.-NeD York Ledger

The Fake Insurance schemes.


Governor Albeit in the interview
published elsewhere takes the distinct
position that the fake insurance bust
ness is unlawful and dishonest, and
that it is the duty OF the State to
suppress it. He is clearly right, and
he will have the approval of every
citizen in any efforts he may make in
that direction.
But why should Governor Albeit
have t o take up the fight. 1t is no
mis- special function. He has enough
duties of his own to perform
without having other peoples
work thrust upon him. Colonel
Harvey was recently appointed Super
intendent of Banking and Insurance.
His duties were made the supervision
of the banking and insurance bust
ness of the State. Why is he not the
prope person to appear as complain
ant against these frauds? Why is not
he the person to furnish evidence to
grand juries, to interest coun-
ty prosecutors in the cases,
and to aid in working mp
the evidence for the conviction of the
swindlers. Why is not he the proper
person TO go before the Chancellor
and apply for receivers for the rotten
concerns? This is what the head of
the insurance or banking department
of any other state-say New York
would certainly do. From week to
week we read in the papers of just
such action being taken.
Colonel Harvey's Office was not es-
tablished to collect statistics. He was
not empowered to examine corpora
tons affairs, to find out their strong
points, or to be able to puff them with
complimentary notices. The office was
created, we believe, to regulate an inn
portant business interest, to find out
abuses, il any, by which the public
We're rendered liable to loss, and hen
to take suitable action to check the
abuse, prevent the loss and punish
those who were responsible. Certainly
this is Mhat the Superintendent of
in any other state would be
eFpected to do. If it is notwhat Colonel
Harvey is to do, then what is his office
for? What use is it?
THE Tax Commissioners at a meet
ing yesterday resolved to begin today
the work OF assessing property. 1t is
o too soon II the work is to be
fairly done, several months must be
devoted TO il. II it is not properly
done the State Board of Taxation will
come down on the local body in very
unpleasant style. The late board,
under the craftsmanship of Mr.. NJ. ].
O'Donnell, did its work in the main
we'll. and, we believe, with every in
tention of treating all with jus
tiee. But the work must be
done all over again if the recent
law is to be taken literally, for all
properly must be appraised at its
full value, and, whatever efforts they
made, the late Board did not quite
get up to that standard. To avoid
causing offence the work must be very
carefully and conservatively done.
Successful appeals must be made
practically impossible by the equity
of the original assessment.
We wish the Commissioners success
in their big undertaking.
