An ESCAPED Lunatic at Large.

1t is perfectly true, all the legal experts hasten
TO declare, that Thaw cannot be extradited as an
escaped lunatlc, though he may he, nevertheless,
upon criminal charge connected with his escape.
But what state or what nation will care TO harbOr
him? New York State has not confined him to
punish him. but to protect itself from who in n
moment Of lunatic frenzy shot and killed man and
who was sure TO have occurrences Of his mania.
What community will want this homicidal degen-
crate In it's midst? Restraint in an asylum may
have put him into good health but now that he is
free he will return to the perverted practices Of
debauchery, his nerves will be shattered and his
reason will give way. Any state or country will
leave him free at It's peril
Our own country will not admit insane immi-
grants Are foreign countries hosptable TO them
when their insanity is notorious as ThawsF
And will any state be so foolhardy as to allow
him to remain at large within its borders without
first compelling him 10 prove his sanity? Much IS
made of the instance of Mr. Chaoner, who escaped
from an asylum in this state and now resides in
Virginia But Mr.. ChalOner first, we think had 10
get a Judgment from court In Virginia that he
was sane And moreover he had not shown that
he was dangerous to society by committing a homi-
eide.

The Tribune and Governor Sulzer

The Tribune has received number Of letters from
its readers finding fault with its attitude toward
Governor Suzer. We think they have been written
under miscOnceptOn.
The Tribune unlike THE World" 1.-The Post and
most of the other New York papers has not found
Mr. Sulzer guilty 1t did not, as they have Done
condemn him unheard as soon as Murphys agents
nroduced alleged evidence OF misconduct against
him. II called for his impeachment when TINS evil
dence seemed to warrant impeachment merely as d
means of testing the issue of thrashlnG out the
whole matter in public, so that the people couiu
make I'D their minds whether the Governor was
guilty or whether the political blackmalers who
were attacking him were manufacturing case
against him.
The Tribune appreciates fully the evil character OF
Governor Suffers opponents and it understands the
animus that inspires them. But believes that pub
lie opinion is competent to get just verdict out OF
court In which judges Of the Court of Appeals VIII
WELD an exemplary influence and in which TWO
thirds majority must he had to secure conviction.
AS for the argument that the state should keep in
office Governor who is guilty of criminal onences
lust because he is against Tammany, The Tribune
has no sympathy with it. No good can come from
lowering the public standards Of what is decent anu
honorable in public life In fighting corruption we
will get nowhere by wnking at corruption III ONCE
And when we say this we do not mean TO preJuuge
the case of Governor Sulzer be taken as prlvate!
believing him guilty. On the contrary we nave Il
perfectly open mind in regard to him. We sincerely
hone for the sake of the credit Of the state and TOT
his own sake that he will be able to prove himSeii
innocent But if he cannot do so to the satisfaction
of honest and fair minded people generally then we
say that he should he removed. The Governor
chair is no place for personally corrupt man.
As for his opposition to Murphy. The tribune
applauded it as soon it became definite and heart-
ilv supported him in it. If he clears himself Inc
Tribune will take pleasure in continuing TO support
him in it. And in no way can he deal such do"
to Tammany as by clearing himself.
But if he fails to clear himself we do not see that
the anti-Tammany cause will be irreparably dam
aged as some of our readers appear TO think ny Ms
removal 1t is bigger than any one man. 1t exlsted
before Mr.. Suzer came into office It will 90 on
after he is out of office, if he is to he removed-go
IN with renewed force because of the revelation or
Tammanysm that this scandal is bringing forth
When will the state trust Murphy to select another
Governor? When has Tammany appeared more
hateful than it does now, with the present laying
bare of its motives in impeachirg a Governor not
because he is corrupt but because he stands in the
way of its graft?

There has been the unOrgdnlZed lndlNldudllSm OF

The French Colonial Army.

As the birth rate in France decreases the French
colonial army becomes more and more important.
The French War Office must in the future look to IT,
rather than TO lengthier service, to supply the de-
hciencies in the French forces. 70 those who have
watched the action Of these troops their endurance
and energy, it seems that the trust France places
in them will not be misplaced. They number $4,000
to-day. and the number is slowly and steadily in
creasng. They have been trained in Morocco and
the Congo against tribes who give and take no
quarter, for in the African warfare of to-day sur
render is but an invitation to torture
Slowly and patiently by their herosm and the
brilliant leadership of their French officers France
has built herself an empire. BY their galantry the

Money Needed to Save Children from
the Heat.

The heat of yesterday was oppressive enough TO
those who were most fortunately situated. Thin
clothing iced drinks, electric fans and all other
devices were insufficient wholly to overcome the
torrid raging Of the dog star. But what must it
have been yesterday and Sunday and other re-
cent days 10 those who have none of these things?
That is a thought which must arise In every rehec-
tive mind.
1t is to he hoped that that thought will be coupled
with remembrance of an efficient agency for giving
comfort and health TO those who need ii most in
these trying days. We need not rehearse the story

and all arrangements made for them.
But it must have the cooperation of the public in
the provision of funds for the purpose. Much has
already been given, but much more is needed. and

Many of the pieces in needlework are
not completed, but as some represent

play will be found on the second floor
in the millinery department of his
store and the department invites all
who are interested to call and see the
