commissioners of Lunacy.

DR.. Allen of Lowell, and Wendell Phillips, of
Boston have been appointed Commissioners of
Lunacy for the State of Massachusetts,, with di-
rections to inquire into, and report upon the
condition of the lunatic asylums of that State,
and to advise any changes in the treatment of
the insane which they may think needed in such
institutions, and such notifications in the laws
as may best guard the interests of that unfortu-
nate class. DR.. Allen is highly spoken of for
his ability and beneyolence, and Wendell Phil
lips may be judged to be pre-eminently the
right man in the right place. if the questionis Of
ferreting out abuses and soundly rating them
when discovered. There is little fear that either
of these gentlemen will be the languid
surface inspecting commissioner des-
cribed by Charles Resde, and We may
confidently expect that Light will be let in to
places whose darkness is said to sorely need it,
under their inspection. The appointment Of
this commission may be precedent for other
places where this most pitable of all afflicted
classes as sorely need the protection and inter.
est Of the public at large.

The Republican Candidate for Cow

Doctor Isaac Jump, nominated for Governor
on Tuesday, by the Republican Convention, has
resided in Dover since 1896, engaged in the
practice of his profession as physician For
many years he has occupied prominent posi-
ton in the political organization opposed to the
Democratic party, and has 81 ne
of his most energetic efforts to the success of the
principles and candidates to which he was at
tached.
In 1850 Doctor Jump was elected to the State
Senate from Kent county, and at the session Of
1851, by his vote in that body, displayed his lib
eral spirit toward the colored people. At the
close OF his term of -four years, he retired
to private life and has since held no public po-
sition. In 1872. he was delegate to the Eepub-
can National Convention at Philadelphia.
In the Methodist Episcopal church, of which
Doctor Jump is prominent and inhuentia
member, he has been officially honored with va
rious positions of trust, testifying the respec
aud confidence with which he is regarded

The Soldiers Monumental Public
Disgrace.

The condition OF affairs IN reference to the
Soldiers' Monument, stated in our columns yes
terday is simply discreditable to all OF us. The
monument grounds are not improved, the shaft
is net enclosed, and the bills for the work and
material already performed and furnished are
not paid. Mechanics long waiting for their just
claims, have at last resorted to the law and the
patriotic memorial erected in honor of Dlea-
wares soldiers and solors who fell in the de-
fence Of the Union is advertised to be disposed
Of under the hammer, at sheriffs sale
1t does not appear that the sum needed to pay
the debts is very large and 1t is incredible that
the people OF Wilmington would suffer the pres
ent disgrace to exist, if they we're duly appealed
to. If the Monument Association will prepare
and publish complete statement of its opera
tions, showing receipts and disbursements, and
set forth clearly its present condition and needs
there can be no doubt that patriotism, public
spirit and cash enough can be found in Whining
ton to take the sale bill Of the sheriff off the
monument to our dead soldiers
