THE Inaugural .7ddress.-The Nation
al lntelligencer, the official of the new ad-
mnistrailon, thus chaiacterises the inaugu-
raj:
WAsHINoToN's Inaugural may have
been more stately; JErFERsoN's more philo-
sophie; MADIsoN's more terse; each in uni
son with the character of the writer's mind.
General HARRIsoN' S Address might have re.
sembled either of these models more Than
i, does; but, if it had done so, i. would no.
have been his oaUn. Nor, unless we who'll
ly mistake the popular taste and feeling,
would it have been half as acceptable to
the great body of the Presidents consitu-
ents as in its present shape"
Most true If the document had been
either stately" or phlosophic, or
"terse"-that Intelligencer might have ad-
ded, if il had been respectable either in mat
ter or style, ii would not have been Gener-
al Harrson's o1cn." II could not have
been by the author of the speech al Fort
Meigs.
The Inteligencer's estimate of the pop
ular taste and feeling" seems to be predlca.
ted upon The fact of General Harrison's e.
lection, and the character of the means
which were successfully employed to effec,
that result.-Eoening Post.

State .fsyluni for Insane Poor.--Thc
bill lately passed in our Legislature snd
signed by the Governor, is quite different
from the one vetoed some time ago of sim
liar title. That was an extravagant and OBJ
noxieus one; the present one is less obiec-
iIonable, although we cannot but oppose the
borrowing by the State of money for any
purpose save that of carrying out the legt-
innate operations of government. BY this
bill the responsibility Of supporting the in
zane poor still remains on the guardians and
overseers of the poor who may send them
10 the State Asylum. The State is required
TO obtain loan, say $4,000 in January,
1912. $4,000 in January, ls43, and S40,-
600 in January 1874, at an interest of 6
per cent, the interest on the loan, say ST.
200 to be refunded TO the State Treasury
sem-annually out of the income of the Asy-
lum-of the ability to do which there is
thought TO be no doubt because of the 1000
insane persons in the Commonwealth by
the late census, 1900 are paupers and 300
OF these will be sent TO the Asylum and will
produce an annual income at So so per
week Of $4,000. 1t is presumed tha, the
Asylum will be constantly filled with recent
and read'ty curd0te cases OF insanity
Doubtless many applicants may be refused
for want of room out of the presen, popula-
ZION Of 1900 and those who will become
insane hereafter; should, however, there be
room at any time the trustees will admit
citizens who are not paupers for reasonable
compensation and thus extend the benefits
of the institution.
The experience of the managers of the
many State Asylums is, that of recen, cases
of insanity. say of 8 to l2 months standing
S5 per cent are restored to reason in three
months after admission, while Of old eases of
two years standing. only 10 per cent. are
cured. 1t is judged that before the State
will be required to pay any part Of the loan,
many hundreds of our insane poor will re-
alize the benefits Of this noble and charitable
institution by the recovery of their reason,
and a return TO be the solace and support OF
their ia miles.
