President and Receiver John King Of the
Erie railroad was recently astonished by re-
ceivins tie following letter from man In
the st ate Of Washington:

on the railroad IN my life. One account have

interest, even If the fare were then cents per

have repented Of my sin and desire forgive
ness from God and man. Respectfully yours,

The Erie people are encouraged 10 think
that, II many stolen rides are paid for so
handsomely, the road will soon be taken

equivalent with interest, where
money expended in sport and recre-
alton was considered wasted, and
where the noble emulation to be
first on wave or field was
measured only by it's pecuniary
profits, we would find it an age in
which mankind had come to deserve
nothing but contempt. Not only are
the men who furnish the money
for the international yacht race
amply able to sustain the expendi-
ture, not only would they not spend
that amount on any other object if
there were no yacht race, but they
would be far less likely to be gen.
erous in giving if they did not occa-
sionally contribute to public pur-
poses without hope of return. Phil
anthropy gains more than it loses
by every exhibition of public spirit

doctrines of Mr.. Gradgrind.

protection of the individual. Out of
it have come practical methods of
state regulation and control, that
are of inestimable benefit to the peo-
pie as long as they are merely pro-
tective and not mandatory. Beyond
this the people have no inclination to
run toward socialism. Whenr MIR.
Hardie seeks for an audience Oh this

must be drawn from dreamers and
fanatics, and not from the body Of

MIR. GRADGRIND,s VIEW,

The soul of the Chicago Chronicle
of money is to be spent this year
on an international yacht race. It
says that it has cost a quarter of
a million dollars to prepare for
action the several vessels that will
contest for the honor of the cham
pionship. ''In arranging the details
of the race" it adds, land in the
expenditure Of the people who come
forth to see it, probably twice as
much will be involved. Times may
be hard in these United States, but
there seem to be plenty of indi-
viduals able to squander in useless
and inconclusive sport, sums that
might establish a new industry or
alleviate distress in half a dozen
townships" This reminds US of the
familiar argument as to what a
man would be able to do with his
money if an ancestor had put one
dollar out at compound interest on
the day when Columbus discovered
America and allowed it to accumu-
relation to the pictures drawn by
the eXhorter of the blessings that
would follow if every man were to
forswear smoking, and devote the
sums once paid for tobacco to char
liable purposes. The trouble with
the beautiful calculation is that the
world is not made that way.
The man who gives up his daily
cigar is quite as likely, or a little
more so, to put the proceeds of that
economy into some greater folly. If
the United States should churlishly
refuse to provide competitor for
the Americas cup, there is no guar
antee that the quarter of million
or million or whatever sum it may
be that will be expended to make the
contest, would be appropriated to
any charity whatever. On the con-
trary, it would remain in the Golfers
of Mr.. Gould and Mr. Iselin and the
syndicate of gentlemen who provide
cup defenders, and might possibly be
used to the detriment OF the public,
as it certainly would not be to the
relief of the poor. The expenditures
of our people to encourage sports are
more than justified. We have been
too niggardly, rather than too lavish,
in that direction in the past. The
more we open our purse strings to 1
promote wholesome contests of this
kind the more likely are we to be
susceptible to those generous i'm
pulses that lead to charity. Nowhere
On the face of the earth is there a
less philanthropic man than your
typical Gradgrind. The man who
worships facts, the man who deifes
business, the man to whom the one
thing worth while is the thing that
viii yield him 20 per cent per an
mum, 5 least likely to divert any Of
his psodta, y employed capital to the
uEeconcnic and unremunerative
business CT alleviatinG distress.

to give up a dollar, except for it's

NOT SOCIALISTS.

Englishmen who have come over
to this country to reap a golden
harvest on the lecture platform have
not Jared well of late years. Even
the highest order of intelligence and
ability has failed to draw paying
audience. The time has gone by
when the simple fact that the speak
er comes from abroad is a. drawing
card. Max O'Rel amuses the people,
and they go to hear him because
they like to be amused. An eminent
scientist or a renowned general who
should propose to enlighten the
American public would be listened
to, from whatever country he might
come. But the mere Englishman is
no longer a curiosity. Nor can he
fool the American people by pre-
tending to come in the name of a
cause, when what he really has his
eyes upon is the box receipts. The
exhibition which was given in the
United States by John Burns does
not seem to have enlightened or dis
couraged others of his kind. Mr..
Kerr Hardie follows in his footsteps,
to impress upon the American work
ingmen the beauty of socialism. We
think it probable that Mr.. Hardie,
who has lost his seat in parliament
solely because of his socialistic TEN
denotes, will return with hands and
pockets no more plentifully fur
nished than were those OF Mr. Burns.
The labor movement has gone far
in Great Britain. In some respects
it is more radical than in this coun-
try and in others more conservative,
but on the average we should say
that its programme is more adj
vanced than that of the labor organ
izations of the United States. But
it will have nothing to do with So
cialism. The socialistic state is an
idea which every hard-headed work
ingman sees to be hostile to his lib
erty and prosperity. 1t means the
Capitalization of power. Under that
system the weakest goes TO the wall.
1t means the control by govern
ment department of the agencies of
production and distribution. Some
body, then, would be permitted to
assign to each man his lot and place
in the working of vast machine.
That is absolutisn. Z ne rule OF a
despot is no more terrible when it
passes by the name Of socialism than
when 1T sails under its own colors.
The workingmen OF the United States
have thought and studied enough on
the labor question to understand, at
least, this fundamental principle,
and they will have none of it.
The agitation Of socialistic ideas
has not been wholly an evil. 1t has
called attention to grave abuses on
the side of capital, and has helped
to point out their remedy. It has
suggested many directions in which
the power Of the state may be exee-

ANOTHER BORDEN CASE.

The sensational case that has been
developed in Minneapolis, in which
a woman of refinement and educa-
ton is accused of numbering the
sister with whom she had lived on
terms Of apparent confidence and
affection, recalls the case of Lizzie
Borden that created so great a SEN
sation in the East not long ago.
Public opinion is likely to be as
sharply and as positively divided in
one case as in the other. There is,
in the Minneapolis sensation, how
ever, at least an ineligible motive
alleged. The charge is that the wom-
an who died a terrible death by fire
was killed deliberately as the end
of plot to secure the insurance on
her life. When the whole life his
tory of the people involved in this
tragic drama is studied, it is to be
found as full of startling contrasts,
of strong lights and heavy shadows,
as the most exciting work of fiction.
The whole story, from beginning to
end, sounds unreal; and most of all
the terrible accusation with which
the surviving sister stands charged.
There is one consideration which will
probably cause this case to be looked
into with more than ordinary inter-
est and carefulneSs. The purpose
assigned by those who believe that
Mrs. Perkins is guilty of the muir
der of her sister is the obtaining of
insurance money on the life of the
victim. This crime is becoming
alarmingly common. It is the crime
of Hayward. 1t was the crime Of
Holmes. 1t is the explanation of fire.
quent murders in some part of the
country. 1t is an industry that
needs a sudden check. Whether it
can be brought home to the woman
whose assailants and defenders are
almost equally Jealous remains to be
seen. But her trial cannot fail to be
one Of the most sensational episodes
in the criminal annals of the North
west.

AMERICAN NAVAL OFFICERS AS
SAULTED AND INSULTED
AT TAMATAVE.
GRAVE MISUNDERSTANDING,
RATHER CRITICAL CONDITION
OF AFFAIRS FOR TWENTY
-FOUR HOURS.
THE INCIDENT sdooTHED OVER
commander Perry, of the Casino
Demands and Receives Full
and Prompt Apologies.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Actins
Secretary McAdoo, in view of what
has been published concerning the
refusal of the Castine to salute the
French at Tamatave, Madagascar,
decided to make the facts in the
case public. Commander Perry in
formed the navy department some
time ago that he did not salute the
French flag at Tamatave because of
the naval regulations and of our
treaty with Madagascar, by which
we had recognized that government
as controlling the entire island. and
that, as there was no representative
OF the native government on shore at
Tamatave, he could not salute that
government, and hence fired no sa-
lutte whatever. There was a misun-
derstanding between the French au-
thorlt1eS on shore and the officers
of the Castine as to granting pra-
tique. When the first boat from
the Castine landed the French mil
ltary authorities, with a great deal
OF excitement, attempted to prevent
the officers from approaching or
speaking with Mr.. Wetter, United
States consul, and his party, saying
that pratique had not been given, al
though Capt. Perry had been so in
formed early in June. The French
officers on shore became very much
excited and ordered all the Ameri-
cans back to their boats, one of them
showing Paymaster Dent toward the
CASTINGS boat, and calling on the
gendarmes to drive off the Ameri-
cans as intruders. During the incl
dent there was great agitation on
the part of the French representa-
tives, and what might have been
serious trouble was only averted by
the GOODNESS and good judgment of
Ensign George r. Evans and Pay
master Dent. Commander Perry
promptly demanded ample and full
apologies, both to the officers and to
his country, for this incident The
French representatives came aboard
the Castine the next day and made
full and unreserved apologies for
their misbehavior Afterward an
apology satisfactory to the consul
was offered and accepted by him.
This closed the incident

TEXAS OBJECTS.

The vigorous course taken by Gov.
CuIberson, of Texas, seems to show
that the managers of the coming mill
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons
have reckoned without their host in
assuming that they would not be
interfered with in the state of the
else in the United States it has been
settled finally that prize fight will
not be allowed. Even where the local
authorities are favorable, state laws
are now so explicit and state execu
tives are so sensible of public opin-
ion on the subject that there is no
chance for the devotees Of the ring.
In the old days, when the princi-
pals in pugilistic encounter, even
of the first magnitude, were salts
fled to hire a steamer, land at some
secluded spot, mark out a ring, and
settle the question: of supremacy then
and there, prevention was practically
impossible. But the modern prize
fight is a large financial undertake
ing. Many thousand dollars are
placed on either side, and the back
ers and managers cannot hope to
come out even unless they have a
big audience, paying heavy admis-
sion fees. So a fistic encounter be-
tween two firSt-claSs boxers means
not only months of training, but a
large investment of capital in the
construction of building where the
fight may take place, and in such
liberal advance advertising for
weeks as will draw sports to the
show from all parts of the world.
These conditions imply publicity.
Publicity makes it necessary that the
authorities should either enforce the
law or connive at a violation of it.
No governor of a state has yet been
found who dares to accept the latter
course. Gov. Culberson, who is
man of nerve, is not an exception.
He has notified the sheriff of the
county in which Dallas is situated
that the law must be enforced by
any measures necessary, and that
the state will both require him to do
his duty and stand behind him with
its power in performing it. It seems
neither probable nor possible that
the projected fight ait Dallas can
take place while the state authori-
ties maintain this determined atti-
tude. Texas does not propose to ac-
quire the reputation of being the
only state in the Union where prize
fight can be arranged for with impu-
nifty. 1t may be necessary yet for the
men who aspire to wear the belt to
step over the border into Mexico
and settle their differences outside
of the jurisdiction of the states.

the experience that alone can make
it valuable, commit a grave mistake.
For the casual sojourner, for the
tourist who comes and goes in haste,
there is no gain in a trip abroad
except as its experiences fit in with
previous study. The association of
places with events, the knowledge
that you are standing where history
was made, is pure delight. For
the mere sight-seer, however, who
goes abroad without such association
Of ideas, nothing could be more tedi-
Gus or commonplace. The hotels and
lodging houses and all the appoint
mentS of travel in Great Britain and
on the continent are immensely in
ferior to our own. The average land
scape caught from a car window,
save for its general air of unfamil-
iartty, is no more interesting than
that which strikes the eye of a tray
eler in a Pullman on any of our own
railway lines. Except for those whose
minds are richly furnished with
the instruction of literature, history
and art, a summer trip abroad is an
unmitigated bore. That is what it
must be to a large percentage of
those who now look forward to it
as the acme of delight, and who
would get a thousand-fold more en-
joyment and instruction from the
expenditure of the same amount of
money and time in famiIiarizing
themselves with the magnificent
scenery of their own land. The rage
for going abroad" merely in order
to say that you have been in LON
don, or Paris or Berlin, exhibits a
cheap quality of Americanism. Tt
will be better for us as individuals
and worthier of us as a nation when
our people come to appreciate and
obey the rule that no man is fitted
to draw the greatest enjoyment or
benefit from travelling in another
country until he has made himself
thoroughly acquainted with his own.
