Warrant Issued.

His actions and talk convinced Judge
Richardson that it would probably be
best to examine the man for his san
ity. He therefore instructed his clerk,
Fred Blomberg, to swear out a war
rant charging insanity.
This was done and warrant is out
for Price, but will not be served until
tomorrow, according to the present
plans.
Ever since Prices horse was taken
up by the police last month Price has
figured more or less in the courts. He
has appealed from the findings of the
Justice court in two cases. He has
brought trouble and notoriety upon
himself since his first trouble by gong
out of his way to fall into the clutches
of the officers. His mania. if mania 1t
is. seems to be that he feel that lie
is being prosecuted by the police and
other officers

Latest Attacks on Mr.. Bryan.

Mr. Bryans policies sufficiently vul-
nerable to serve all the ends of legitimate
controversy SO far as he is concerned. Why,
therefore. strain a point and impeach his
motives in the matter of his continued po-
litical activity?
We are asked to believe that Mr.. Bryan
is governed by considerations relating
wholly to love of applause and love of
money. 1t is explained that he has a pas
sion for the center OF the stage, and that if
he were to retire his income would dwindle
materially. What cares he for silver, for
free trade. for this, that, or the other? He
likes to hear himself talk. and he has an eye
on keeping the circulation of ''rhe Com
moner' at high water mark
This is far from convincing. Mr.. Bryan
is already a rich man. He has profited, as
many others in political life have done,
from celebrity and the opportunities that
go with it, None of his rival aspirants for
the presidency is poor. Mr.. Cleveland is
able to control private hunting and fishing
grounds. Mr.. Olney is rich. Mr.. German
is in clover. Colonel Lamont, who started
a few years ago poor as Mr.. Bryan was
in 1896. is several times a millionaire. Judge
Parker is very snugly fixed. Mr.. Bryan's
spare change and comforts, therefore, have
come to him in the ordinary way, and he
is open to no just criticism on that score.
Mr.. Bryan does not need office for salary
returns. There is no man in the country
better assured of good pay for the products
of his brain. He both speaks and writes
we'll. and it is easy to believe that for years
to come he will be able to command at least
the market price for his tongue and pen.
For the matter simply of money he might
realize much more handsomely from going
with the reorganizers of his party than
from standing out against them. The trusts
would welcome him with hospitable hands
to a gold-lined political grave.
| 1t would be strange, indeed. If Mr.. Bryan
did not love applause. But it does not lie
in his party's mouth to complain or to lee
ture him on that account. The response

eountiful In appreciation of it's heroes. and

Long been nominated he would have been
most agreeable running mate to Mr.. Nc
Kfnley. The party. however. was not to
be expected to go to New England for It's

to take him from the Presidents cabinet
table The President himself was bringing
to the ticket the full strength of the ad-
ministration's influence. Besides, Mr.. Long
work in the Navy Department was still i'm
portant, and his best assignment for the
party's sake was there Mr.. Mckinley ap-
piled a similar argument to the case of Mr.
Root some of whose friends were suggest
ing him for the vice presidency.
AS a matter of fact, strong as they were
in character, ability. and personal and po-
litical popularity. Mr.. Roosevelt at Phiia-
delphia overshadowed all the other aspir-
ants for second place. The old yarn That
he was nominated by Mr.. Plat to get him
away from Albany has never deceived any
body familiar with the story of the con-
vention. He was easily the choice of the
country He had found and improved his
opportunity in Cuba, and the young men OF
his party in particular were enthusiastic in
their demand for his nomination. Mr..
Plat was probably glad enough to acqui-
esce in the feeling he found. but he did
not create it. Mr.. Roosevelt was the popu-
lar choice. And he proved a tip-top choice

The Portiere Flat War.

Has the owner of fat building the right
to insist that his tenants shall use the doors
which his builders have provided, If the
tenants wish to substitute portieres for
doors? That question is now violently agi-
tating the apartment-house jewellers of
Jersey City, where an obdurate landlord has
just caused general hegira on the part of
the occupants of his building by demanding
that certain doors be rehung. These par
ticular "f1atters'' are all devoted to the
new art. They dote on designs and draper
les. They abhor DOORS They desire grace
full vistas of curtained openings, and so as
by a common impulse they had the doors
within their flats removed and stored in the
cellar. There the landlord found Them
cobwebbed and dusty. and his ire arose and
after a few skirmishes he consulted lawyers
and dispossessiOn proceedings were begun.
Now the tenants of the original battle
ground of this great war, which has spread
to other fats and is rapidly becoming gem
eral, are advertising for doorless flats. or
quirkless landlords. They will probably find
both. Perhaps now the cities in layers will
develop new lines of classification. There
are already apartments which will not
admit dogs, apartments where children are
tabooed, apartments where pianos cannot be
played, apartments Where the CUISINE inusl
be regulated with care to avoid certain gen.
orally Objectionable odors. And so the list
runs. Now the portiereless fiat may come
into vogue. perforce, though why any land
lord should object to the preservation of his
doors from use and their consequent longev-
ity is rather difficult to understand. 1t is
evident that the Jersey City fatters are
bent upon establishing their rights, perhaps
feeling that if they fail to win the privilege
of hanging porteres they will fall forever
and hopelessly under the tyrannous sway
of the landlords

The Chicago Accusations.

The verdict rendered by the Chicago
coroner's Jury in the Iroouois fire case is
surprisingly and gratifyingly equitable ana
inclusive 1t ranges in it's distribution of
the blame all the way from the mayor of
the city to the humble electrician in charge
of the light that started the fire. 1t en-
braces the manager of the theater on the
score of his failure properly to provide the
necessary appliances for the protection OF
his patrons, and also the heads of the
municipal departments charged with the
duty of requiring him to obey the laws. 1t
accuses his subordinate. the stage car
penter, of failure to supply proper fire
protection, and the stage fireman for not
insisting upon this mans performance OF
his full duty.
This is the right way to reach the seat OF
such troubles 1t is based upon the prin-
ciple that not alone is the negligent one
guilty, but also the man who is specifically
intrusted with formal supervision over that
one. The mayor of the city, as the
preme head of all the departments. was
intrusted by the people with the execution
of the laws. To the extent that his sub
ordinates failed, he failed This is sound
reasoning, and closer application of the
principle would make for better govern
son at any time, before the fire, called his
building commissioner and fire chief before
him and sincerely charged them with fail
ure to properly enforce the laws and set
them at work to keep the theater man.
ayers up to mark, then would the munic-
ipal executive have been comparatively
blameless. But apparently in Chicago, as
perhaps elsewhere, the mayor went on the
assumption that his underlings were con-
scientiously performing their duties, just
as the building commissioner apparently
believed that the inspector who is accused
with him was honestly attending to his
work
1t would be monStrously unjust to hold
up to execration only the theater peo-
pie guilty as they evidently are. The fact
has been spread broadly before the world
that they were not alone in their violation
of the laws Every other theater in Chi
cago, save one alone, on honest inspection
fell short of standard and was closed
These men, unfortunate in that the fire in
their place was peculiarly circumstanced
and appallingly tragic, doubtless merely
followed the custom among their kind, TAX
ing as much liberty with the law as any
other, and trusting to the complaisance of
the ignorance or Iaziness of the inspectors,
or perhaps actually, after the prevailing
method buying official blindness with
few passes.
Every other city in the world where hui
man life is held in esteem will watch the
future proceedings in Chicago with keen
interest. That community now has
chance to purge itself of a charge of gross
acknowledgement by Furnishing the men who
have betrayed their trust.

Suppression of Splitting.


From the New York Times.
Whatever it's evils or the injury to the
public health therefrom resulting, the spit
ting nuisance will never be suppressed until
citizens who object to it take the trouble to
set in motion the machinery for enforcing
the law against those who are guilty of this
disgusting and dangerous practice This is
not an agreeable task, but it is one which
enough persons must be willing to perform
to deter those who have at present no re-
spect for laws or ordinances. In a car full
of people one splitter will annoy and put in
more or less jeopardy all the rest; but not
one of all the number usually has the cour-
age to say to the offender that he must de-
sist or leave the Brakemen, guards
and others who may be called upon in the
line of their duties know too much to refuse
to enforce such demands when formally
made, but they rarely volunteer to compel
an observance of the rules There is some
excuse for this in the apparent Indifference
of the public to this form of nuisance.

John D. Long and 1900
