The new daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1872-1873, 1872-11-25
We HAVE WORN OUT OUR VEL
COME.
Let Us Stand las well rs we cam CPol
Our Own Bottom.

The California papers are GrumblInS
because of our continuing to observe the
slip-shod. half beggarly habit of quar-
tering our insane upon the public in
s.itutions of that State; (they lie when
they say that our officials ship the sage
brush lunatics over there and turn them
loose-lie and ought to 60 West when
they say SOY but We don't know that it
is very unnatural that they should conjure
up out of the custom the bugbear that
they have; for certainly ga sovereign
State" ought to be able to give housing
and treatment to its crazy people, unless
indeed, they get to be the majority, as the
vote for Kendall seems to indicate.
There have been some semi-spasmoaic
movements in our more recent Legisla-
lures toward the adoption of some sane
and self-respectful policy regarding our
mad people; and some gentle lunaties
even went so far, two years ago, as to
propose turning the Bowetslnansion into
= Bedlam; but there was G. sufficient free
dom from the mania of Preposterosity in
that marvellous body to s4uelch the de-
hrious proposition.
1t is an owlish matter of wisdom of the
platitudinous and fy-blown variety to
say that we ought to do something, on
oUr own hook, in the humane direction
Of ministering to the diseased minds of
our own; and we do Teiterate that IN
brilliant but none the less trite and truth
fal asseveration; for while it is not true,
As we remarked somewhat emphaticaIy
before, that We cast loose our madmen to
prey upon the appalled, and stricken in
nocents of the blissful and Arcadian land
which creeps up to shake hands with her
wsr-cradled sister across the aqueous and
ehimerical line of denarcation which sets
the ghost of old John Bigler to wrangling
with the unconstrued spook of Tahoe to
decide whats in a name;'' while these
charges are as false as dicer's Oaths (if
we may be allowed the expression) II is
nevertheless true that this proud and
sovereign" State ought to stand no Ion
ger gibbering at the hopeless gates of |
stockton and Woodville, reaching ont its
pinched pittance with one hand. and its
a,tested enzollments of the profound pro-
ceedings of Lundtico IagairondO with the
other. asking the considerations and man
ifestations of begrudge and bellyachins
, harity.
After they have got through with the
exciting matters of business and politics
which will wei h upon their mammoth
minds in the early flush and dawn of the
coming Legislative session, it will be well
for the wise and accustomed as well as
for the pin-feathered and inexperienced
SONS of Lycurgus who will gather together
in the nalEe Of this pure and incorrupt-
ible. high spirited and interchangeable
people to pass M Act appropriatinS
in sufficient quantity to enable
abraham Curry or some other worthy
citizen to construct here, within the linz
its of the Gea of the Desert. a building
adequate to the purposes which now we
s-e constrained to seek at the hands of
incompetency over on the
Western Slope. This is all that need be l
said with regard to the matter. There is 1
D.t one way to settle it in accordance with
he dictates of common sense-and we
nave named that way.
