PENSY COMPLAINS.
Regard the Disqualification Of Orton as
Decidedly Unjust.

The men who represcnted the univer-
sity of Pennsylvania in the dual track
games with Harvard at Cambridge on
Saturday returned to Philadelphia
There is considerable feeling shown over
the disqualification of Orton in the half
mile run, and II Is the general opinion or
those who were present, that the decision
was unjust from every standpoint.
Hoffman, Pennsylvania sprinter,
when seen, gave the following explana-
tion OF the affair: "The track permits
of but four running abreast, and the four
Harvard runners took the lead at the
start, thus shutting off Pennsylvania.
Soon after the start Haryard's inside
runner Fenno, swerved 20 the right u
little and thus gave Orton right and an
opportunity To pass him. As he at
tempted To do 80 Fenno tried To impede
Orton with his elbow. The result was
hat both men were somewhat thrown
out of their stride. but the blame lay
entirely with Fenno, and the affair took
place so soon after the start that IL did
not materially effect the running OF either
man.
''As matter Of fact, Fenno did not
enter protest in person, but near at the
close of the games when IL was seen that
the result would be- very close a Harvard
man went To Referee Curtis and made
the protest" "
.Hoffmann is not alone In tho belief that
tho Red and Blue did not receive just
treatment.

Why there should be any opposition
to the principles of direct legislation 1t
is hard to understand. In truth, there
is no open opposition of any account.
for it would take a courage that is not
possessed by the average politician to
get up on the stump and tell our people
that they are not fitted 10 govern them
selves; that they are not capable of dis
corning between good laws and bad
laws; that they must delegate to poll
ticians the art of governing. The stump
speaker who made SUCH assertions
would not be vote winner, aud, need

islation do not want such speakers on
the stump. 1t would not be polite to
employ such speakers, and they are not

THE INSANE ASYLUM.

1t is a good thing for a community
when it can be said that it inclines to
excessive charity. 1t is well for a state
that it should be too generous rather
than too mean. And yet justice to the
taxpayers, in these hard times especial
ly, requires that the peoples money
should not be wasted.
The St. Paul Globe said the other day:
Minnesota has gone through a very ex-
penSiVe experience in one phase of pater
nalism. the assumption of the care of those
afflicted with mental ailments Of all kinds.
In the b git ming of the movement, if men,
DRY serves well, the state assumed the
care and treatment of the insane free of
cost, when the patient or relatives were
too poor to meet the charge. Some time
in the seventies this was changed to the
provision contained in what is now section
3,461 of the revision Of 1894 which provides
are. treatment and support entirely free
of cost and regardless whether either the
patient or relatives are able to pay for it.
The note to the section intimates that this
section appears to be invalid under the
decision in state against Billings, but as
the practice of free support continues it is
not considered invalid as to that feature.
We were in the state senate when lie
changes referred to by the Globe were
made, and did all we could to prevent it,
We showed that there was a female
patient, from St. Paul, in the St. Peter
insane asylum at that time, supported
by taxes levied on the rich and poor
alike, who owned, in her own right
100000 of property, bearing interest
Her relatives absorbed her income and
turned her over to the state to support.
But some Of the senators rose and
made fap-doodle, high faluting speeches,
about dividing charity, until they over
whelmed our reasonable views and made
the state a great aims house.
If the expense of the support of the
insane was placed upon the several
counties the people would soon cure this
abuse. Now if a man or woman is
weakminded. imbecile or idiotic
through sickness or old age, the rela-
tives pack him or her off to an asylum
to be supported for life by public taxa
ton; when perhaps those who pay the
taxes are poorer than those who receive
them. l. D.

The Yeast of Evolution.
The yeast of evolution was dropped into

Of the drifting sea of chaos long ago:
And when the cloud shapes gathered
world-stuff floated nistlike.
Till the pulp of stars were hardened
and the worlds began to grow.
And the yeast of evolution worked upon
the plastic planets,
And our fire-world bubbled mountains
to the sky;
And our continents emerging shook the
sea from off their highlands,
And the redjawed dragons wallowed
where all life but theirs would die.
And the yeast of evolution worked into
the blood of dragons.
And they persisted and their believing
died away;
And the slowly mellowing cycles rolled
their slow-paced revolutions,

And the yeast of evolution grew within
his aimless purpose,
And the hairy savage battled, clan
with clan,
Till the strong-armed brute grew con-
scious of deeper life within him,
And the soul of man grew conscious
and revealed itself to man.

great amelioration,
And the World Tree sheds it's bios
SONS through the gloom,
Till it flowers into Moses, Homer, Plato,

Flowers prophecies of flowers that are

For the yeast of evolution works, as
hither, for ever;
We are in the morning hours of our

Down the ever widening vista whose
long stretches end in twilight
We shall come on new projections,
meet new music on the way.

All, but further, further, further is the
