TRUST SMASHING.
"A Good Chance for Republicans to Show
Themselves Honest

Themselves Honest.
The pct sident's suggestion th.t tbs
states may do much to break up the
trusts and monopolies issfruifful. Wise \
laws in regulation of corporations
which, whilc preserving their useful
ness as servants, will curb all abuse Of
their powers, would strike deadly
blow at nonopolistic combinations.
HurtfuI monopoly snsually gained in
one Of two wags--either by govern
ment favor i'm the form of legislative adj
vantages or By railroad Discrimination
in the form Of special rates or re bates.
Usually both advantages are enjoyed.
If the states visited severe penalties
uponrailroads guilty OF DETERMINATIONS
and upon corporations and individuals
entering into combinations to regulate
production or prices, the trustsand mo
nopolies would be badly crippled. The
monopoly combinati tions could be all
most weeded out of the states by the en-
forcement of the principles Of the com
mon law.
But the other trust coign of vantage,
the legislative privilege, is within the
scope of federal power. The sugar trust
enjoys a differential in the tariff which
entities it to defy outside competition
and rob the people. Tariff discrirnina-
ticns are enjoyed by q host Of trusts
and combines. The beginning Of many
Of the trusts was founded On the bounty
tariff, which is still their chief bulwarls.
Let congress, lii addition to making
laws to prevent the operation Of trusts
within the scope of. federal authority,
adopt the rule that every article
handled by a trust or combinat ation shall
be placed upon the free list and the cor
ner stone of monopoly will be knocked
out If the republicans are sincere in
their profession of desire to smash

EXAMINING THE INSANE
THE LOCAL PROCESS OF COMMIT
TING THE UNFORTUNATE.
But Few Errors Are Recorded-Dr.
Emerson Favors a Board of Commits
sioners-C Courts Are Careful.

TO the credit of the Republic of lla-
wai it can be said that no one can be
committed to an insane asylum harc
except by due process of law. That Is,
no one can be committed to such an
institution on these islands until after
the unfortunate one has been judicial
~ determined to be insane, or of such
unsoundness of mind as to warrant
such treatment.
Until few years ago it was possible
here to secure the commitment of
person to an insane asylum upon the
certificate of one or two physicians to
the effect that they believed the per-
son to be insane. But this law has
had many changes, until now very
good system of examining insane per-
sons is in vogue.
The first step to he taken is the fill
ing in the Circuit Court petition for
the issuance by the court of a writ
de lunatico inquirendo, to inquire in
to and determine the question of the
mental condition of the alleged insane
person. Such petition may be filed
by near relative or any person COM
ing into court with clean hands and
just purpose. a jury is summoned to
inquire into the mental condition of
the alleged lunatic. If found to be
insane the court appoints a trustee of
the estate.
While such is the procedure where
the lunatic is possessed of property, it
is not at all the way in which the bulk
of the insane asylum inmates are com
mitted in Honolulu. They are more
generally arrested by the police at the
instigation of some friend or relative.
All circumstances connected with the
case are st forth to the Marshal, who,
in turn, notifies the police surgeon.
After thorough examination by that
official the alleged lunatic is taken be-
makes it a rule to personally visit the
unfortunate person. Then, if found to
be unbalanced in mind, the judge will
authorize the superintendent of the
insane asylum to receive the person.
Police Surgeon Emerson says that if
any criticism was to be made by him
at all on the present system, it would
be that, while it is not always the
case, still it is often times desirable
to have more than one physician give
his opinion on the insanity of persons
before they are taken into court.
However, there have been very few
errors recorded in late years. The
cases are not ''railroaded," as is
thought by some. Not every person
alleged to be insane is so declared by
the police surgeon or judge, for &C.
allegations of insanity and in such
to be of sound mind and in other in
stances simply declares the party to
be incapacitated because of sickness,
not reaching the degree of insanity, a
term naturally repugnant and harsh
and one always avoided by the judge
whenever possible.
The majority of lunacy cases tried
here are those where the lunatics are
penniless or their relatives are equally
unfortunate. There have been but few
committals thus far this year.
The insane asylum is well filled with
patients at present.

pEKsONAL LOrrINGS.

The Worcester Daily Spy of yestef-
day has the following notice Of the
singing of a well known New Haven
young lady: The star OF the evening
was Miss Mary II. Mansfield Of New
York, who has much the style Of Mrs
Carl Alves, and though a soprano, her
lower notes have much of the rich con
tralto quality. Her upper notes are
clear and vibrant. Her voice IS strong,
of excellent carrying power, and capa-
BILE of effective dramatic expression.
Besides and above this, Miss Mansfield
sings with the instincts Of an artist,
She has complete command of herself
and of her voice, and she delivers her
tones with an assurance that gives the
impression Of much reserve force. Her
recitatives were sung with meaning,
and when a melody fell to her lot she
sang 1t with good taste and discretion.
In the Worcester Daily Telegram the
following notice is also found: The
star of the evening was Miss Mary H,
Mansfield, soprano soloist of New York,
She captlvated the vast audience on
her initial appearance on the platform
by her charming manner, and she es-
tablished herself as a singer before she
had given more than two bars of her
first solo work in the oratorio. Miss
Manstield's reputation as a soloist in
concert and oratorio preceded her to
Worcester, and great things were e1;-
pected Of her. The audience was not
| disappointed, 1t was only the sweet
ness and purity of her rich soprano
voice which was tested last evening. A
touch here and there of the powerful
voice she possesses demonstrated to the
audience the amount of reserve force
she had at her command.
The marriage of Mr. Augustus Smith
Thompson of this city to Miss Edith
Gertrude Purdy occurred at Christ
church, TarrytoWn-on-the-H Hudson, at
u o'clock noon, on Tuesday. The we'd
ding ceremony was performed by Rev,

She wore an elegant going away gown

| of the bridegroom was an elegant dia-
