We cannot make ont, however
whether Mr. Bayard should be implacable,
whether he should refuse to recognize
the treaty Of 1915, and the various
treaties we have made with England

Some persons Of highly poetic nature
are prone to lament that the age of

armored horses proudly pranced around

passed away but it ought to be admitted
at the same time that the world has
something to day that corresponds quite
closely TO the jousts Of the middle ases.
A careful study of the tournaments of
1913, for instance, in comparison with
those Of 1898 under intercollegiate rules
this autumn, will probably show that
the two institutions are fairly similar IL
Is true enough that horses are no longer
used, but any horse that tried to partici-
pate IN even single half Of the mod
ern tournament would lose all desire for
life A Western broncho might live
through game, but he would probably
avoid football field ever afterwards. AS
for the merry knights who iousted In the
lists six or seven centuries ago, IL is
seriously TO be doubted whether many of
them could hold the Harvard line for
Tour downs OF course, there are few
exceptions, as is proved by the case of
the u ale man whose sole comment after
reading lvanhoe was that he wished he
had Cedric for right tackle aud Rich
ara Tor left tackle on the Varsity
eleven; but, as a rule, it is probable
that they might have objected to train

steel armor, nor does be carry a lance.
but nevertheless he fights at closer range

type OF the lists IL NAV be said that he
gives and takes harder blows. At laast
the hospital records Of a FIRST class team
go to support the proposition. As for
courage, the knight of 1903 would think
twice before he suffered himself to he

there is not much difference. A crowd

No Defence for Homicidal Cranks.
Chicago Journal
The difference between lunatic and
crank is that zone can be hanged
under the law while the other cannot.
There Is very little difference besides
Few persons would advocate the execu
ton of confirmed mailman. whose
brain is diseased until his Imagination
Is the sporting ground of a thousand
phantoms Mercy has so prevailed in
modern Jurisprudence that the natural
desire Of revenge, which in an
Ignorant person is manifested even
towards inanimate objects, has been
confined in its operations to free
agents retaining a responsible control of
their wills. How far is a man amenable
to the law for deeds of violence
committed under the influence
of strong drink He has no
control over his actions at the time the
deed is committed, but every one recog-
nizes that he is responsible for the deed
because he was responsible for getting
drunk. Between him and an insane per.
son the dividing line is indeed shadowy.
There is such thing, to be sure, as a
purely physical decay and disease of the
tissues of the brain. There is the dread
paresis which attacks the brightest and
best balanced minds But that insanity
which vents itself in deeds Of
violence is seldom traceable to A
purely physical cause. If a
man permits himself TO be a crank he
stands In danger of becoming lunatic in
spite Of himself The relation between
mind and brain is as mysterious as it is
intimate IL man of sound Judgment
becomes, by reason of excitement or over
work, nervous, irritable or moody. there is
no doubt Of corresponding alteration in
the tissues Of the brain. Against this
change self control is an adequate pre-
ventive. Let the tendency be INDUCED.
especially let man give himself up to
visionary and vail imaginations, and his
blain will soon show permanent
deter ioration Self.control, once aban-
doned, is with difficulty regained. The
origin of insanity is in nine
cases out of ten In the lack of
self-control, and above all in vanity.
In small minds an overweeping
self-esteem drives man irresistibly
toward the madhouse. Men of limited
faculties are apt to imak inc themselves
the victims Of persecution. When their
wild schemes are ignored, they
deem mankind to be in conspiracy
against them. Vanity and wilfulness
are the qualities that I'll insane asylums

and lunatics there is no reason to in

other people do There many
improvements that suggest themselves to
the man who knows better and does
nothing but real charity does not stop
to find fault with what others do, much
less to suspect their motives, It does
what It finds TO do and believes that
others do the same. There is a method
often. in the wisdom Of those who stand
afar of, to condemn the plans of those
who are doing the work Verify, they
have the rewards they seek. They save
their money-snd rest.
The practical charity. Of Crosby & Hill
In devoting one-tenth Of their gross re
ceipts during the past week to the Asso
ciated Charities, deserves the support
and cooperation of all charitable people.
Some may look upon It merely as an ad-
vertising plan of an enterprising firm,
but, even IL II were such, It has brought
the answer and has resulted In placing
in the treasury Of a very worthy charity
the sum Of $3.50, being one tenth Of the
receipts Of this house for last week.
Il has done more IL has enabled a
very large class of our people to contrib
ute to the support of their less fortu-
nate neighbors who could otherwise have
illy-oiiered to do so, for inquiry has re.
vealed the fact that, but for few ex.
ceptions this sale has been patronized
by the bone and sinew Of our city.
Again this week Crosby & Hill are de-
voting one-tenth Of their receipts to
the Delaware and the Homeopathic
Hospitals. The ladies interested in
those institutions have in times past
shown wonderful astuteness in raising
funds for the hospitals Now an oppor.
tunity is offered to the friends OF these
hospitals to exercise charity ina practi
cal manner while making their pur.
chases.
Many Of those people who could best
afford to give prefer to take their pat
ronage and cash out of the city, in many
cases paying more, and never less, money
for precisely the same goods that are on
sale at our home counters, to say nothing
of the incide ntal expenses of shoppin
tour out Of town.
This should not be so. Our enterpris-
ing merchants display upon their shelves
and counters everything that man,
woman or child can want and they have
a right to expect the patronage Of their
towns people. They pay year in and out
their share toward the support of the
community in the shape of taxes, rents,
wages, light and heat. and are deserving
Of better treatment.
Charity begins at home, and every dol.

city makes a proportionate increase Of

To WHAT extent the transfer of the
mantle Of favorite sonsbip, from the
shoulders Of Senator John sherman to
those Of Major Mckinley, will bless or
injure, is problematic. To Sherman the
mantle has been an expensive and elu-
Tive burden. He has carried IL for twenty
five years. He has been deluded with false
hopes and dazzled by brilliant expecta-
tions He has been the heir Of Hayes. the
enemy Of Blaine, and the friend OF
Garfield to meet the same bitter dis
appointment in each unsuccessful char
acter. He has continued the Sisyphean
task Of rolling his name into every sue
cessive convention, to obtain the Pres
idential nomination. to meet the same
disappointment. The stone not only
broke away and rolled down hill. but Il
rolled into the hands Of a successful
rival Mckinley may be the new Sisy.

reputation Of a sherman.

The letter in the EVENING JOURNAL.
Of yesterday concerning sad case of
drunkenness for which much Of the
blame was placed upon the boon com
panions, attracted much comment. Il
is always nice and an insoluble problem
who is to blame. OF course the man
himself is to blame primarily
but there may be contributory
causes. Every noble and honorable man
should scorn to put temptation in the
way Of a man who ruins his health and
dissipates his fortune by drink. The
Christian world has but one opinion
about that-every man is bound to put
forth his hand to save his brothtr, not to
hasten his destruction.
