SELECTIONS FROM THE NAIL.

THE TRIBUNE's PRINCE HENRY PICTURES.
From The Editor and Publisher
While nearly all OF the New-York daily news
papers laid themselves out to give their readers
pictures of Prince Henry's movements during his
American tour and while most of them succeeded
in printing effective half tones yet it is gem
orally conceded among newspaper critics that The
Tribune surpassed them all in number and IN the
excellent character of its Photographic reproduc-
tions From the day when the Prince landed
until he sailed away the Deutschland The
Tribune printed each day notable scenes in which
the royal visitor figured. 1t seems too bad that
these pictures cannot be preserved in more per
manent form.
AN EXPLANATION FROM Mr.. FAULKNER.
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Referring TO article recently appearing
in The Tribune over my signature ex-presi-
dent of the National Conference Of Charities and
Correction. in which l commended the action Of
the NewYork legislature in aboIshnG the numer
boards OF trustees having control OF the hos
ptals for the insane. and consolidating such con-
troll in a single board OF experts. find that have
UnintentionalIy given offence a large number Of
people who do think I do upon this question
l in receipt OF a communication from gentle
man prominent in charity work in the city and
State OF New-York, in which he states that I have
violated unwritten rule OF the conference by
thus signing my name to the article in question
ex-presdent Of the conference. in order TO give
weight to my opinions.
I should certainly be enc of the last men to set
a bad example those who striving dis
cover the ways OF wisdom in the adminstra ton Of
the interests OF the unfortunate insane and my
error Gf II be error is Of tAo head. and
of the heart.
I might better have signed my article 5 au ex-
trustee of State hospitals FOR the insane. for
served as secretary OF the toard OF OF the
Kansas State charitable institutions for nine years
and aside from theory and practice Of medicine
and surgery I was graduated from good school
Of experience in the study Of the needs OF the un-
fortunate insane.
The fact that the National Conference of Chari-
ties and Correction does not make findings and
that no one can pretend to reflect the general
views OF the members OF the conference upon any
subject is well understood by those who read the
conference reports. but may not be understood by
the general public l wish. therefore. in the in
terests OF fair discussion, to say that the article
referred sets forth views which not only not
approved by the National Conference of Charities
and Correction (Which takes stand upon ques
tions Of public policy. but they would not be ap-
proved by members OF the conference representing
States which have not adopted the plan OF CEN
trazed control. as. TO wit. Kansas. Wisconsin.
Iowa and Minnesota.
New-YorI has now undertaken trial OF the plan
adopted by the above mentioned States. in so far
as 1t applies the Of the insane, and those
who are charged with the responsibility OF man
agement will no doubt receive the fair support 70
which they are entitled while testing the new
method.
the matter, am a native OF New-York State. and
am thus justified in giving my opinion.
