will soon become a laughing stock if
it is paraded so often. No one dep1ores
really hostile legislation against the
railroads more than does the Tribune,
and no one has been prompter to con-
denim it, but We think the current ex-
PLANTATION of almost everything under
the sun has been badly overworked.
The true explanation, that
money rates the world over are unfav-
orable to increased outlay, is one which
railroads need not be ashamed or
afraid to give the public. It Is not
good business to pay too much for your
money. Everybody can understand
that.-New York Tribune.

do better for themselves, or render
great service to society. than to take
the millionaires who are on the point
of becoming insane, and by skillful
treatment keep them within the ranks
of the rational.
De Quincey's wel1-known analysis of
the insanity of the later Caesars
throws light on this problem. No man
can stand at the apex of the world,
with the consciousness that all things
are possible to him, that there is no
restraining power, that he can do any
thing he chooses with himself or with
others, and not become insane, unless
he is an exceptionally strong person.
This is what befalls a great many
very rich men. They have found them
selves practically without restraint;
thew were able to do whatever they
chose with their neighbors; they discov-
cred that they could have their way
with the Government; to their surprise,
even the Ten Commandments seemed to
be abrogated for them; they effaced
the distinction between right ana
wrong. Under such circumstances in
sanity was almost inevitable. The
Government, the States, communities,
and an increasing number of individ-
uals have now made 1t their busi-
ness to put the insane of this class
under restraint; and there Is good
hope that within a few years their
number will be greatly diminished. To
be very rich with honor is already be-
coming a distinction; to have ootn
great wealth and sanity may not be
in the future quite so uncommon as
to-day.

The New York Sun is of opinion that
Br. Felix Adler's statement that some
of the very rich are insane will be
taken as a compliment by people who
have been in the habit of late years
of being described as criminals; for
insanity involves moral irresponsloh'

Great Riches and Sanity
The Outlook.

ditures of the insane American with
well-bred amazement, quite content ia
hold the platter out in various ways
while the shower falls. An intelligent
American, who knows his Europe well
was summoned to the relief of an in
sane millionaire in hotel In the
Riviera not long ago. The millionaire
had stayed over night, and 1t seemed
IN him, when he remembered the fact
that he had arrived after dinner on
the previous evening and was going
away Immediately after breakfast,
that twelve hundred francs was an
even more generous compensation
than he would have volunteered him
self. The experienced American went
over the itemized bill and speedily
reduced it to the very comfortable
proportion of about sixty francs.
There is no reason why the insane
millionaire ought not to be left at
liberty. provided it is understood that
he is insane, and that foreigners, IN
making UP their estimate OF natlonai
character and taste, are not to attach
any more Importance to him than they
would attach to the inmates OF the
various asylums for those Dere1t OF
their senses. This kind of insanity is
amenable to treatment, but the treat
ment ought to be preventive. Ihere
ought to be in every community one
or two wise women who would give
the newly rich advice as to now to
snend their money. This kind or SER
vice is rendered to people much oIten-
or than society suspects; for the new
w rich sometimes have gl1mmer OF
the fact that they are not wholly sane,
and seek the guidance and restraint
of those whose minds are not Ill.
More than one case of insanity mas
haan arrested by this kind of conceal
ed restraint.
Nor many years ago, in one OF our
.raa+ cities. a man and wife who had
racentlv come, through mining opera

SEGREGATION Of
GUAM LEPERs

The naval surgeons on duty at
Guam have perfected the plan for the
segregation of more than a hundred
persons afflicted with leprosy and gan
gosa. 1t will be necessary to obtain
funds for the purchase of land and the
construction of houses for the isola-
ton of these patients, whose liberty
at present is a menace to the health OF
the community. Congress will have to
provide the funds and probably ap-
propriate an annual sum for the main
tenance of the camp. The site selected
is fertile and the patients will be able
to raise their own vegetables.

In Cornish chapels the invariable
rule is for the men to sit on one SIDE
of the building and the women on the
other. A visitor and his fancee, who
were staying in the district, went to
chapel. and just before the service
began the young man was greatly as
tonished when the chapel steward,
seeing that the couple were seated IN
