The grand jory has inspected the asylum, but instead of con- tenting itself with a perfunctory visitation and a luncheon in the superintendent's resi- dence it moved around and saw conditions as they are. Then the jary reported that while the administration of the institution was ad- ‘mirable the asylum itself “is a disgrace to ‘this great city. There are more than 2,000 {Patients crowded into buildings the utmost ‘eapacity of which should be considered as cer- ‘tainly not over 1,200, and in some rooms there are seven cots, and many of the hallways have “cots in them. The cots in nearly all of tho jzooms are placed so close to each other that ‘there is no space for an attendant to pass be- tween. The numerous pavilions were erected about thirty years ago and were intended to be “merely temporary structures. The condition of the pavilions now is horrible. It ‘fs appalling to the heart and insulting ‘to the pride of the decent citizen. The sides of some of the pavilions have to be propped up to ‘keep them from falling.

Believing it to be quite possible that even in this enlightened era ‘there are individuals who have no real knowl- jedge of the pantocratic idea Tax Sram pre- ents some of its main features as framed 4m ® semipericdical known as The Na- tional Pantocrat and published in this city. ‘Taiversal freedom from debt is the main ob- Ject toward which pantocraey is steering itself, and to bring about such a desirable condition ‘©f affairs it is proposed to have the Secretary ‘of the Treasury pay the debts of the United States—and as the Secretary might soon run ut of cash the pantocrats have planned to take eare of any possible deficiency by giving the Sec- etary authority to run the presses ofthe Burean of Engraving and Printing night and day until he bas a sufficiency. This is so simple that many persons upon reading this will surely Wonder at the foolishness which pays interest upon bonds. Another branch of pantocratic reform touches on the important subject of taxation. Property is to be exempt and money only is to be taxed. Under the new regime currency is merely a debt-paying power, which ds to be taxedout of existence in ten years, the annual depreciation of mouey being at the rate of ten per cent. Gold is to be demonetized and silver demarketized in the millennial time which 4s to follow the success of pantocracy. But the financial plank in the pantocratic platform is Mo more attractive than many other timbers, THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 3. 1893—EIGHTEEN PAGES. Under the administration of = pantocratic President and Congress the wages of all per- sons—no matter what their duties—employed by the republic will be four dollars for each day of four hours and one year out of every four isto be s holiday, with pay, for every ‘transportation is to fix railroad fares at rates that shall not exceed one mill per mile: a de- partment of public communication will rent telephones for four dollars a yearand send tele- grams of thirty words a thousand miles for ten cents, Then the department of publie educa- ‘tion is to limit the hours of study in public schools to three per day and to pay people for attending such sehools, while the department of public insurance will proceed to do away with all insurance companies by offering better rates. All printing is to be done by the government, because the government can do it more cheaply than private firms. The de- ‘partment of public buildings is to design and supply buildings in which the great American nation may reside rent free; the department of public fisheries will “catch and cure fresh and salt fish” for popular consumption; the depart- ment of public fuids is to supply people with Fy gas and water of the greatest possible excel- lence at the lowest possible cost; while the de- partment of public amusements is to be bur- dened with the task of amusing the multitude. There are many other depnrtments provided for in the pantocratic plan, and they will bo fully explained to all persons who desire to flee from the political wrath to come, and who be- lieve that their only shelter is beneath the ‘wings of pantocracy. The enthusiastic panto- erat is = fine sample of what an unchained human mind may come to. —___ + +.—___ Of the many subjects discussed by men for the benefit of themselves and their fellows few ‘re of more genuine importance than that which deals with the principles of success in ‘business. It may not be generally known, but the fact exists nevertheless that more than 90 Per cent of the men who go into business for themselves sooner or later achicve dis- aster, so there is every reason why all attention should be paid the utterances of those who have proven themselves the ex- ceptions. Oneof these is President Duncen MacArthur of tho Commercial Bank of Mani- toba, and in the Banking Law Journal he dis- cusses the methods of success so that any one can comprehend them. Mr. McArthur makes no pretension to literary greatness, but he has managed to say many excellent things which should be read and remembered by every young man who is about to strike out from the shores of parental control. Of pri- mary importance ave the physical qualifications and in that connection comes the recommenda- tion that all who desire to do the work of life in an efficient and successful manner should learn the laws of health and obey them implicitly. With regard to the mental qualifica- tions necessary two of the most important are inteNigence and good judgment. Good habite ‘are essential to success, while the bad habits | is against which warning ts loudest are gambling and extravagance. Integrity is = supreme necessity and on this President MacArthur dwells forcibly. “Honesty is said, in popalar phrase,” he declares, “to be the best policy. It should be spoken of as the best principle. When a business man has once acquired character for integrity, and it is not acquired at once—for confidence is a plant of slow growth—it practically becomes an addi- tion to his capital, for character is capital as much as money. It is, indeed, capital of a more durable kind than money, for if a man retains his integrity his character will remain even if bis moncy takes unto itself wings and fies away.” System is also eulogized, for by doing things systematically more work can be done in s given time and it can be accomplished with greater satisfaction. Patient, unflagging perseverance in becoming acquainted with every detail of the business undertaken and the acquirement of » habit of indust-y—a habit that, like all otbers, will grow—are commended as being efficient aids. But of the many helps to solidity and for- tune none is greater than printers’ ink. “‘At the present day,” says Mr. MacArthur, “when newspapers and periodicals of all kinds are issuing with such rapidity from the press and spreading all over the land, it is easy to see that advertising has be- come a matter of much more importance and necessity than it has ever hitherto been. No business man can hope to keep his footing who does not advertise constantly. The necessity for so doing is obvious. The great question is, which of the many available vehicles to choose for the purpose. The paper or magazine which has the largest circulation in the particular locality which constitutes the sphere of the advertiser's business must necessarily be a good medium for his purpose.” All of which is indisputable fact. ——— ‘The Philadelphia Record reached the age of “sweet sixteen” on Thursday, and it celebrated the anniversary of its birthday by publishing twenty-four pages of extremely interesting matter.
