THE Carson Tribune is in favor Of
a State Lunaiic Asylum. lttayors 1t
on the score OF economy, and pre-
sents figures to prove the soundness
Of its position. 1t costs, according
to The Tribune, one dollar per day
to care for the patients in LAngion
& Clark's private asylum as Wood
bridge. To this must be added the
cost of sending patients over TO that
institution. Such cost The Tribune
estimates to he $50. which is, ii
would seem. rather high. The State
has 10 the neighhorhood of forty
patients in all 10 care for. 1t would
be quite impossible for the State ID
maintain an asylum ii its own, with
a resident physician, board Of direc-
tors. etc, for forty dollars per day
The best thing We can DO is 10 send
our insane over 10 California until
our population warrants the build
ing of an asylum of our own. Al the
institution Of Laugdon i Clark they
receive better care than they would
be apt to receive in home asylum
Both these men have had vas, expert

Amnesty To Communists.

PARIS, February 24.-La Ltbcrte re-
ports that meeting Of the Moderate Re-
pubIcans WAS held at the residence OF
ex-President Theirs. The question OF
granting amnesty To the Communists
was considered. A proposition was made
that committee on pardons be appoint
ed, which shall be less severe than the
former committee and will permit those
persons to return 70 France who
are innocent of crimes against the
common law, and those who were
more disguided than guilty. This meas
ure was offered as q substitute for the rsdi-
cal proposal of complete amnesty. Gam

and lent corruption wings to fly. l; has
indeed brought US to hard times. Those
who suffer these evils do not find much
consolation in the fact that the salaries
of officers have been doubled, that specu-
lators have got rich, and that the colos-
sal fortunes of great capitalists have been
swelled to ten times their former bulk?
Reporter-Are we to infer from this
that you favor immediate resumption?
Judge Black-No; that does not fol-
low from anything that l have SAID. The
main evil of expansion is that it must,
in the course of time, be followed by COR
traction, and contraction is oppressive in
proportion as it is rapid. The Erie Con-
vention Is not to blame for its natural
unwillngness to pluck down Immediate
and total ruin upon the heads of
the people. The abolition Procrustes has
stretched us out until all our joints
are dislocated Shall We not protest
against the proposal to shorten US by am
putation. The injury already done US
must not be aggravated by contraction
for which we are unprepared Our enc
mics have put the financial locomotive
on the wrong track, tied us in the rear
against our will, and dragged US behind
1t over q very rough road, and we are
badly bruised Must we now let them
reverse the engine, go back upon US, and
crush out of us the little life we have LETT?

toned is by Watson Foster, OF Louisiana,

charges that Ii. +. Summers, 8
Juror in the Mckee trial, with
having prejudiced the case by
stating previous to the trial he believed
Mckee was guilty and that he was the

affidavit, the prosecution ten days there
after to answer the same and the defend.
