MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE INSANE ASYLUM.

A day or two ago we paid visit to the Louisi-
ana Retreat. transferred to the new and elegant
structure erected opposite the Upper City Park.
for the purpose Of consulting with the Sister
Superior on the possibility of some arrange
ment being made with the city to transfer the
inmates of the City Asylum to the Retreat We
were informed, however. by Sister Mary Jane,
the superior, that she had been In charge of the
institution for five weeks only. and that the
matter had never before been considered by
her. and, therefore, she could not give
even an approximate idea of the terms
upon which an arrangement could be
made. In answer to her questions
we told her that there were about 1903 white peo-
pie and thirty seven colored in the City Asylum.
sufficiently large to take charge Of the. whites,
but that extra quarters would have to be pro-
vided for the colored people and that the instf-
tuition could not ct present undertake the con-
struction OF new buildings, it being already
largely in debt for the erection OF the present
structure.
This short interview would indicate that, for
the time being at least. 1t is not probable that a
transfer can be made. The Mayor informs us.
however. that he Is considering the carrying
out of the plan. already referred to, of contin-
uing the present city asylum with the assist
anee of resident Sisters of Charity. whose status
will be something like that of the sisters who
minister to the, wants of the patients in our
Charity Hospital.
