No mistake ought to be made in dealing
with the crank who has sent threatening
letters to Vice-President Stevenso Senator
Sherman, Secretary Carlisle and other pu b.
lie men. His ailment has broken out in a
fresh spot. and he has dispatched a second
letter to the Vice-President. The mere
fact that he is mailing such letters entities
him to go to prison if he is sane. but the
extreme probability is that he is gone in
the mind in some respect and is dangerous
when his requests 60 ungratlfed. 1t is alb
surd to let such men alone when they dis
close themselves. Their alteration gets
churned up into frenzy and then they
commit murder, and people are amazed
that such things can happen. Two letters
have been picked up at place in Kansas
which seem to indicate that cranks harbor
the intention of kidnapping Baby Ruth,
killing Cleveland and looting the White
House. These peculiar epistles may be a
joke, but should not be so considered even
if they were penned to scare and raise a
laugh. The writer's deserve to be taken
care Of somehow.
Boston and Cincinnati have succeeded
in establishing art potteries which pro-
duce ware of considerable beauty Of de-
sign. Such work happily unites in indus
try the artist and artisan, and in no mean
degree is formative Of public taste. 1t is
said that California has the requisite or
at least suitable clays. and could follow
the example of the East. Ii the clays are
available the conditions are suitable far
beyond those which attend the potteries
in the East. and il is highly desirable the
experiment should be tried on a good
artistic scale. In the fabrication of or
dinary pottery for domestic uses there is
room for much Improvement. The heavy
ware ordinarily encountered in restau-
rants-happily not often thrown at the
head, but dashed on the tablets clumsy
and inelegant This is one of the indus
tries which seem insignificant. but people
have but to nsider the demand for pot
rers' ware In every household TO conclude
that many millions are annually expended.
