New-York tribune., 1908-03-02
PORTUGAL AND ARGENTINA

The execrable attempt TO murder President
Alcorta of Argentina came near to completing
one of the most Interesting and suggestive par
allels in the recent history Of nations namely,
between the relationships in Argentina and POr-
tugaI. The recent dictatorship in the latter
country was strongly condemned a product
of mOnarchicaI institutions. and was held by
many 10 be the provocation of the hideous regi-
cidaI tragedy in that country It should not be
overlooked however that it was itself provoked
by the cIntankerouS 0bstructiveneSS of the par
lament. which arbitrarily refused 10 adopt the
necessary budget for the maintenance Of the
government. presumably-no other reason has
been made evident-because the Prime Minister
would not provide in that budget for the custom
airy amount of graft. l. the ministry had ad-
hered strictly 10 literal constitutional methods
the functions of government would have beel
paralyzed and the government itself would prac-
tically have ceased 10 exist.
Now. it is a striking coincidence that at
the very time when these things were happen
iug in ancient and mOnarchical Portugal al
most precisely similar things were happening
in one of the greatest, most stable and most
liberal Of the South American republics. In
July of last year the Argentine Congress arbi-
trarIy refused to vote the necessary yearly
budget of supply for the government or TO pro
vide any ways and means for carrying on the
pubic duties or the administration. 1iau the
+ executive meekly acquiesced in this studied neg
lect ii would have been necessary TO disband
army and navy, 10 discontinue the carrying Of
the mails to close the schools and To default
upon the interest Of the public debt To avoid
/ such catastrophe the executive called the Con
CrcSs together in special session in November.
But again that body refused 10 vote the budget
or to provide any means for continuing the func-
tions OF the government. TLereupOH the presi-
dent. supported by his ministers, dismissed the
. Congress. and by executive decree OF an
entirely eXtra-constitutional character declared
that the budget for the preceding year should
be continued in force for the current year aai
the appropriations be made without Congress
siOnal sanction. Until the next regular session
Of Congress, therefore, the republic Will be un-
der a virtual dictatorship. And finally an al
tempt has been made to murder the Argentine
President-Dictator just attempts were made
TO murder Mr.. Franco and as the King and
Crown Prince Of Portugal We're murdered.
DicratorShips anywhere are doubtless exceed
ingly rCsrettable or perhaps should say that
the circumstances which provoke them ere. AMI
they are obviously fraught with considerable
peril. Once the precedent is established o.
acting eXtra-constitutionaiy. even in a case IN
which such action may seem to he necessary,
there is danger that ii may he followed i'm othaf
cases where there is less appearance of neces-

NEW FREAKS FOR OLD.

There has quietly passed into oblivion a great
social institution concerning whose Immortality
nobody could have entertained the faintest
doubt a generation ago prophet might have
said that il would endure beyond the day when
q traveller from Nome should sit on the ruins
of Tammany Hall and sketch the desolation Of
an abandoned Manhattan. And yet like all
ancient and holy things, so fades the side show
of freaks from the circus world. Down have
come the gaudy canvaSes which once gave many
II rustic throng an inkling OF the wonders to be
seen inside the tent for 10 cents, one dime. Il
tenth of u dollar, ladies and gentlemen. The
sword swallOwer the missing link and the dog
faced boy have silently folded their cloth dOm-
cie and slipped out of sight through the back
door of the Down and Out Club. This year
they and their colleagues will be sought in vain
by the small boys in whom the tales of the
elders have aroused great expectations And, in
response to plaintive queries, the Hey RubeS
will be instructed to say that "the gallery of
human prodigies has been closed by the man
"agement owing to the declining interest shown
'by the public in these marves Of human nat
'ure"
Why do the freaks no longer keep the shOuter
busy gathering in dimes? To him who looks
about in the world the answer is easy. There
are too many freaks outside OF circus tents who
are willing TO display their abnormaties free
of charge. Moreover. many OF these Ladies and
gentlemen are much queerer than their tented
colleagues that the latter appear exceedingly
ordinary in contrast. The Armless Wonder ald
the IegiesS Phenomenon cannot coax small
change away from citizens who every day of
their lives headless statesmen running
around loose IN herds. How the Fire Eater
reap profits from his asbestos throat 50 long as
the poorest New Yorker visit the City Hall?
The Elastic Man cannot pose as a wonder in a
community full of Human Bank Books whose legs
can be pulled TO indefinite lengths. Clearly, we
are living in an age of altruism and phlan-
thropy, when the greatest human prodigies Will
not sell themselves TO sOrdid syndicates. but let
rich and poor alike see what strange things
nature hath wrought This liberal policy doubt
less makes for the common welfare; but. as III
every other sudden stride forward, somebody
must be hurt. We are sorry for the poor chaps
whose frpakiShnpSS is merely anatomical
