THE HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE AT MT.
PLEASANT.
The duty will devolve upon this
General Assembly to seek some
method by which the hospitals for
the insane may be relieved from their
overcrowded condition, The reports
Of the trustees and of the superin-
tendents ofthc hospital at Mt. Pleas.
ant and at Independence are alike
emphatic upon this point. At Mt.
Pleasant the appropriation of $4,000
made by the last General Assembly
has been applied as contemplated and
the improvements are fully detailed
in the reports from that institution.
Exhibits accompany the report of the
trustees. showing that during the
biennial period $220,5lS,17 has been
expended, that the average daily at
tendance was 5O5.SG, and that the cost
per week Of each patient was $4.l2.
The Board recommends an apprOpri-
alton for special repairs and inn
prOvements. In this connection ]
should call attention 10 tho report OF
Messrs. Piquenard and Finkbine,
who We're consulted by the trustees
in regard 10 the necessity for these
repairs, and as to their cost. From
their report the necessity would seem
10 be urgent, and they estimate the
cost at $lG,237.50. These gentlemen
having given this matter personal at

to preserve the building from further
waste and insure its safety. The SUI

ro women who Paint.

Paint is not confined to the natural and
maturing beauties who are doubling the
critical capes of the thirties and torties,
but is reaching the faces of the young
women. This painting of the lily is
matter of regret, for the American yo-
man is known in ali civilized lands for
'the-beauty of her complexion, the deli
cate .nudace of it being recognized in
the term s'American tint." 10 move
AWAY from the ARTISTIC side and look on
the moral one, 1t appears stlll worse.
Ten or fifteen yeAfs age the calling OF a
woman who wore a painted visage was
.undoubte6, IL was, to q certain extent,
The sign Of her commerce, and there are
vet ,o1d-iashioned people who judge a
painted face with the eyes of the past.
The motiye which leads her to this layish
use OF color is, Of course, that she may
become beautiful; and if she really did
become SO, no objection might be made,
at least from an artistic point of view.
But her mistake is radical-she does not
become SO. viewed as an object OF act,
she is unlovely to look upon-utterly un-
kissable, and the 'osculatory test is su-
preme. Itis more or less matter Of
Indifference to man that theugly woman
should be given over to such q practice,
for she may not be saved in an aesthetic
|sense; but when the young woman, en-
d0wed by nature with pure skin, re.
sorts to it, he is moved to COMMUNICATION
and regret He is wounded in his ma
tional pride, for European fingers have
pointed to tire complexion OF Golum hia's
daughter as something unattainabie to
her sisters across the sea. The roses
are too red on the. British cheeks or the
fibre is too rough; there is lack Of clear
ness in the French skin, and that OF the
italian is too sallow. Remarkable purity
and delicacy belong alone TO the typical
American girl, and these characteristics
will continue TO be hers il she will avoid
the vandalic paint-bex and kohel pen
ellis. The first artist or the world hai
already drawn her with his gracious
colors, and his name Is Nature.

DEMOCRATS AT NEw-oRLEANs ISSUE A LETTER
OF REPLY TO THE REPUBLICANS.
The Supreme Court of South Carolina has
ordered the State Canvassers to count the re-
turns ministerially and report to the court.
The count is going on. Wade Hampton tele-
sraphed to New-Orleans that he is elected
by 1920 majority. The Democrats at new
Orleans have replied in a long letter to
the Republican refusal of conference. They
say that the term "votes actually cast was
first used by Gen. Grant in his order to Gen.
Sherman, and they state their opinions as TO
how the count should be made. conference

Grant says that whoever is legally declared 10

Infamous trick" and courageous attempt TO de-
ccive and defraud." 10 was not pretty business
for either side to engage ill., butt find that commit
tees do great many queer things i'll politics which
would not be called quite fair honorable in any
other business. Tie amusing feature Of this trans
action was the indignation of the unsuccessful
party at the of the other. There's cheating
round this board" exclaimed the fellow with four
Jacks in his sleeve, when his opponent played the
fifth.
The defeat of Gen. Hawley in the list District is
very generally regretted not only by his pohtical
friends, but by many of his opponents, who desired
to have the district represented in Congress Ivy a
man of ability and influence, and who voted for him
accordingly. The heavy Democratic majority in
Hartford overcame his gains outside, and gave his
opponent between 100 and 200 majority. The
defeat of Mr. Kellogg in the lid District was 80 de-
csive that it is not probable he will reapDcar in pol
itics very soon. He was nominated avowediy fors
two reasons one because one else wanted 1t, and
the other because with his methods OF conducting
canvass nc usually manages to run ahead OF MS
ticket. The nomination was a gross atfront To the
intelligence and honesty of the party III
the district, for reason if no other.
After pretending to be opposed to the back
pay grab, and running for Congress when the party
organs which supported him attacked VIM. II. Bar
nun for not covering ms BACK pay INTO the ife'o-
ury, and compelled him to formally turn it in,
Kellogg left his own lii the hands of the Sergeant-at
Arms, subject TO his ORDER and it is said drew and
pocketed it last March, after he supposed 1t had
blown over" The TRIBUNE called attention to the
fact before the election. Kellogg's answer was an
attack upon the supposed writer of the article
charging him with malicious motives. But he never
referred to the back pay business, or denied the
charge. The returns Of the Congress vote show
that while Kellogg ran behind Hayes 57S
in New-Hayen County, and 178 in Middle
sex, total Of 1865. his opponent, an infatonist,
did not profit by it, for he likewise ran behind his
ticket, receiving IL votes less than Tlden III the
district. From these facts l judge that IAE
TRIDUNE's suggestion in the article entitled BE
tween the Devil and the Deep Sea" was followed IN
O good many INSTANCES by zen who thought little
wholesome scratching might do good by way OF
reminder to the managing politicians. 1t occurs to
me that Mr.. Kellogg would have been wiser to have
undertaken an explanation Of the backpay business
instead Of discussing in SO elaborate manner tie
motives Of the persons who called for it, about whom
his audience knew nothing and cared less. But Mr..
Kellogg is rather unique person IN politics, and has
his own way Of conducting campaigns.
