AN AGE OF INSANITY.

In this age of development, scien-
ific discoveries and inventions, there
mas been greater per centsge of
cranks, queer, unnatural, upaccount
able, unprecedented, unheard of, un
thought of deeds committed than was
ever known in any previous epoch in
the history of this country. The
deeds of which We speak are those
which are in violation Of the common,
established, civil, moral and ecclesi-
.stic laws of the land, all of which
appear to the finite, normal mind of
man, as unnatural and inbuman,
therefore classed as insane acts.
When we say inhuman, We rather
feel disposed to apologize to the
beast or four. footed brute, against
whom We have no record of the un>
natural treatment of its offspring as
is shown by man. psychologists tell
US that the human mind in an alb
normal condition is absolutely ire
Sponsible, that deeds committed by
person in an abnormal condition is
without ii motive, that person so
suffering does things involuntarily,
Aaxiapss ssr aJhosHey''asAhSd aJoHy, AID is therefore not
responsible for acts committed. The
mind is sometimes suddenly bereft of
reason, and whatever is done by the
person so afflicted is not the act of
the person, and once restored to q
normal condition has no recollection
of what had been done. These are
the results of what the psychologists
call scientific investigation, based
upon scientific reasoning. If then
the psych ologist be correct in theory,
the abnormal condition of man 8
mind is degree of insanity and
many an irresponsible man has been
hung for murder, since in this abb
normal condition the deed is COM
mtted without motive, and there
fore is lacking in one of the essen
tials, that is malice. One has only
to read the daily papers to be con-
vinced of the prevalence of this de-
gree of insanity known to the psy>
chologist as the abnormal condition of
the human mind, and we conclude at
once that no one is safe. The com
mission of unnatural crimes, such as
boys killing their parents. sisters and
brothers, father killing wife and
children, son-in>law, including sui
cides of men, women and children is
appalling and alarming. How are
we to account for this peculiar condi,
tion of tue human family? Upon
what hypothesis? Is it mental de-
generacy, physical weakness, moral
turpisude, decrepitude, or what3
Is it traceable to slack moral and
religious training of home and pull
pit? Is it the reckless and indiffer-
ent feeling Of the people generally or
the grand rush and push for gain or
greed of graft, or is the world deaf
to every sensibility of mans better
nature, purer and nobler impulses,
thus educating the mind of man to a
morbid and abnormal condition?
Echo answers what?

when a nation should, united to a man,
exert itself to the last gasp for the sake
of the fatherland, now is that time.
The people, too, should certainly feel
it incumbent on them to set apart
whatever they can spare beyond their
absolute daily needs, towards the funds
which the coming war demands. Better
excessive precaution than too little If
it is thought that the war will last one
year, then by all means make prepara-
lions ample to meet struggle of two
or even three years; and if 100000
troops be deemed sufficient, let the ma
ton be ready 20 put 100000 or even $780,
600 men into the field. The Government
therefore, continues the journal must
not hesitate in making all these prep
arations on q large scale, and should
forthwith proceed to adopt measures
for raising the necessary funds. If this
present complication should by any
turn of fortune terminate in peace, the
country would be none the worse for
this timely preparation. Peace at the
cost of only a few hundreds of millions
of yen would be cheap thing after all,
concludes the Jill.

JIPAN PRESS ON THE WAR
Continued from page II

Of the State. The only precaution
which the Treasury should exercise in
this respect is that she should Judi
ciously restrict the amount to be rails
ed within the limits of national means,
for it would not do to float loans be-
yond the public capacity. At this
point appears the necessity for in
creased taxation, which, besides net
ting additional revenue, will go far to-
wards strengthening the national finan-
ces, and hence enhancing the credit of
the treasury. The Jill is opposed to the
idea of making that taxation a tenn
porary measure, being of opinion that
as Japan is sure to need larger expen-
diture even after the conclusion of the
Hypothetical war, she must therefore
be prepared from the outset to meet
this inevitable requirement. 1t would
consequently be short-sighted policy
to tack on to this revenue program any
proviso committing the State to repeal
it a short while after. Such proviso
would be sure to involve the Govern
ment in troubles. The two financial
measures-loans and additional taxes
will in all probability be sufficient for
the purpose, but, concludes the paper, if
they should prove insufficient, then the
Treasury may have recourse to other
extraordinary means which it has at
its disposal at home.
In another article on the same sub
ject, the same paper wishes to remind
its countrymen of how in the inevita BILE
outbreak hourly drawing nearer they
will have to engage in a conflict the
most calamitous since the foundation
of this Empire, and that the heavy
duty deVolves upon them of keeping in
tact the national escutcheon which our
forefathers have handed down to us
clean, and unsullied by the blow of for
eign arms. If ever there was a time

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do tillChe tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves US to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face Of this idea the ''impos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's a way. "If we
could but rob cod liver oil of
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two orr
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said q famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But,
it will never be done," he added.
"You can no more turn cod IiY-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise

CUBANs DON'T LOVE US.
HAVANA, Feb. Limited States
Minister Squires has called the atten-
ton of the Cuban Government to the
action of the rioters at Cienfuegos, who.
continuing the disturbances which
broke out as the result of disputes over
the election of Registers, vented their
i'll feeling yesterday by fiinging mud
upon the United States escutcheon
hanging over the entrance of the United
States Consulate, practically covering
it with filth. Consul Baehr protested
to the local authorities and notified
Minister Squiers.
The Minister today called on Presi-
dent Palma and made representations
lnsL the Cienfuegos authorities should
not content themselves with an apology,
but should aprehend and punish the
perpetrators of the insult. The Pres
ident said he deeply regretted the in
cident, and added that ne would issue
directions that the culprits be arrested
and punished.
Although all other reports agree in
saying that the situation in Cienfuegos
is critical, those received by the Gov
of I,ot
persist in the Federation that the riots
of January 18th We're nothing beyond
a fight between drunken men and that !

HIGH-PRICED WHALEBONE.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Whalebone is |
higher prices in New York at |
present than ever before, with one ext
ception, since it has been an article OF |
commercial value. It is worth $3.50 a !
pound now. The seasons catch was
only $4,000 pounds, whereas the New
York market, which is the greatest dis
trlbuting point for this commodity in
the world, demands from 5000 600 to AGO. =
O00 pounds annually. 1t has brought
high prices because of the formation of
the whalebone trust and consequent
corner, out Gne real cause OF the pres F.
ent jump is the gradual disappearance
Of good" whales into inaccessible
places of the Arctic seas and the con-
sequent inability of whaIers to catch
them. One firm in San Francisco, from
which port most of the whalers fit out,
reports that of it's five steam whalers
one returned with 10000 pounds of bone,
two came back with empty holds and
another brought $4,000 pounds from the
fifth steamer, which is now wintering
in the north. The local result of the
vhalebone shortage is to compel small
ar firms who cut whalebone to shut
Down their shops.

lieves that a great struggle. between
classes is impending. and that Chicago
is destined to become the storm center.
He warned the rich that they will be
the ones to suffer most and that by
their Indifference to Christianizing in
f1uences and by their failure to set an
example of righteous living they were
sowing the seeds of bitterness and sure
ly would reap the whirlwind.
DR.. Stones denunciation of the rich
caused a ripple of excitement and much
comment. The membership of his
church is made up largely of wealthy
persons. That there are good people
among the rich in the city DR.. Stone
readily admitted, but the exceptions, in
his opinion, evidently are so few as to
make the truth of the rule the more
glazing.
