BELECTING A SCAPEGOAT, Now that the Conclave is pructleally over, It may not bu amiss to take up some of the complaints which haye been made during the last few days and seo what there’ Is In them. Itinay he snid at the outset that the crowd whieh visited this city (nls week was a larger one than could possibly bo accommodated without much fucdnyeniénee to nmiany, at least, of the guests, Thora were here ‘Tuesday over 100,000 people In additionto the regular population, That ts a sudden In- erense of 20 per cent, Neither the hotels, the restaurants, the street-cars, the barber-shops, nor the private residences were ine con- dition to provide for so sudden an Incrense In the number of people they were cniled upon to accommodate, ‘Tweuty or thirty thousand can pe swatlowed up in Chiengo and hardly nake aaigu, but, when the num- ber {3 trebledinconventences must: neces- sarily ensue. ‘Che wnoyance and confusion eaused by the’ arrival even ina comfortable household’ of une small squalling guest shows ona sinalt seale what may bo expected when a hundred Uiousand people pour In during two: cae Sut that such nv rush would bo tha ease to have been known to the members of eniial Committee. ‘They anticipated a large attendance—probably fully as large as that which eume, Mr, Gnssette sald log no that there would be here 30,000 ‘Templars, 10,000 hulleg, 10,000 Invited guests; atid 100,000 visitors ane shihtse Jie also sald, & Let no one feat extortion or bly prices, MEASONABL BATES AND COMPORTADLE AC- COMMODATIONA, and a royal thue, may be confidently anticl- mated.” Tho experience of the week has shown that his antlelpations were net fully realized, and that he was perhaps not quite justified in waking the promise he dtd, which Was considered olilelak since It came from the Chairman of the ‘Triennial Committee, ‘The tong wis tou big In many respuets for the city. to deal with.

From what he sald to the reporters they: got the idea that wll tho eredit of the alfalr wasdue to him. IInd the Conclave fully anteceeded thoy night haye been allowed to remain under’ the samo Impresstan. More: over, members of the ‘I'rienntal “Committers say that Mr, Gassette had, ag Chalrman of the Committee, both planned the work and exceuted the pling as far as ¢ swould permit, and was farniliar with the sys. tein of the entertainment not only In general but fn the smallest minuthe of detail, TI GRAND BALL was unauestlonably a falltre, and the Com- mittee ought to hive known it from the bes xhiniig.

Whether it was the ‘Trlennint Committee or the En- tertalmment Commilttee which had this mat- fer in charge, It made an inexcusable blun- der, Lilt had taken tho muniber of square feet on the flooring of the building and livided ft by nlne—which n is a very com= fortable allowance per person—it would have found tant only about 12,000 contd have been put on the math floor. ‘The arrangements at thedvors were shameful, “There were many, ways ‘o get in and none to get out. One of Haverly’s duorkeepers would have been of mere uss on that Sub-Comimiltco in eharge. of tha ball than all the eminent ¢lttzens who figured on it. The crowd whieh filled the street—not 50,000, but. pevtiaps 10,000e-was a tieket-holding crowi.

On the other hand, It may be sutd that there wns no very close connection Uelween the Committees and the things which they were tolook alter, In these days of telephones the ‘Tricnninl Committee Red All the subor- dinate committees, and all the pluces over whieh they had elurge, should have been in direect-communtention, Tho: moment a com- hi a pilention, ares it. should have been nthe power of ‘some one ty notlfy the Sub-Committees Af it was hotabie to take aetlon, It should have in wposition to notify the ‘Trlennial ‘ommitter, In order hat there night be an hnmediate remedy. But there was nathing ofthis sort. Jn a word, there was no d ie Hine nivong the yarlous committee: ‘00 many prominent citizens, and too few people with practical experience, In faet, had It not been for good fortine thers would have been many more com- plaints, ‘he -eninp arrangements were noe perfeet.
