ST. LOUIS, Aug 23.-The session of the Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science to-day
was an interesting one, and drew the largest
audience yet present. A number of new men,
bers were elected when Prof. Barker rose and
said: The time had come when scientists were
no longer the only discoverers, but that the
practical man had found science too slow and
had stepped in and discovered for himself. 1t
gave him great pleasure to introduce to
the association one of the new members, whose
name was heralded throughout the country
and whose researches were known throughout
the world. Prof. Barker then presented Thos.
A. Edison, who was received with great APP
plause, which continued some time. In re-
spouse President Marsh stated it certainly gave
the association pleasure to welcome the gentle
man who had done so much to help science by
his wonderful inventions, and that they reflect
ed glory upon the reproductive genius of
America. 1t would be probably the most
gratifying intelligence to the gentleman him
self, as well as to the audience, to hear that
the association had been informed this morn
ing by telegram from the exposition at Paris,
that the grand prize at the exhibition had been
awarded to Mr.. Edison for the most wonderful
inventions of the age. A motion was made
and carried that committee of three be APP
pointed by the chair to arrange for eulogy of

MAT1 CARPENTER has written an open let.
ter to the editor of the Chicago Tribune, in
which he takes occasion to defend himself
from the charge of having repudiated his
allegiance to the Republican party through
his legal connection with the electoral COM
mission. His real object appears to be
to place himself fairly before the people of
Wisconsin as straight Republican candi-
date for Senator, and to get even with Mr..
Medill for abusing him. This latter he
does very neatly in the closing paragraph of
his letter as follows:
am aware that. ordinarily, it is great in
discretion to enter into controversy with an
editor, who has so much the advantage But
in this instance can lose nothing. You have
always treated me as meanly as you knew
how to, and, from reading your paper, see
no evidence that your capacity is on the in
crease.

THE INSANE ASYLUM RING.

The developments as to the management
of the asylum for the insane at st. Peter con-
tinue to be more and more interesting. Ev-
cry page of the accounts Of the institution
shows the allowance of accounts without
warrant of law, and adds to the mass of evil
that institution, including the trustees, the
superintendent, the secretary and the con-
tractors, have been carrying on system of
petty thievery that is at once dishonorable to
them and disgraceful to the State. At this
stage of the inquiry it is impossible to form
any estimate of the amount illegally drawn
from the State treasury by these larcenous
officials, but sufficient is known to indicate
that the amount has not been small. There
have been no gigantic thefts as far as is
known, but the money has been constantly
cribbed in small sums, ranging from half a
dollar to several hundreds. The bills for
vegetables and meats show one feature of this
all-prevalent dishonesty, for the State is
charged from two to four prices for every
article purchased. The difference between
the market price and the price paid was
probably divided between the dealer and the
purchasing officer. Then in the matter of
furniture the same system appears to have
prevailed. Bills for extra work in construct
ing necessary buildings and repairing the
old ones are also frequently met, but have
never, in single instance, been proved to
I, rIo bou
able amounts by means of bills for expenses
in going to and from the meetings
of the beard, and for hotel bills while
in attendance at such meetings.
Most of them Travelled free, and
therefore had no expenses which could be
legitimately charged to the State, and all of
them, while in attendance upon trustees
meetings, lived at the institution on the fat
of the land. But this did not deter them
from charging $4 day for hotel bills. But
perhaps the most disreputable part of their
populations is found in the bills for the ex-
penses of the entire gang to the Philadel-
phia exposition. BY no possible stretch of
the law or the facts could this jaunt be dis
torted into State charge, but nevertheless
the State had to pay it.
Nothing could be more apparent than the
necessity for thorough cleaning out Of the
present insane asylum ring. Every man of
them should be compelled to walk the plank,
and they can do so none too soon. They
should not only be dismissed from the SER
vice of the State, but they should be COM
PEELED to make restitution of what they have
stolen, and should, like other thieves, be
compelled to do the State service at Still
water. Some of the men are sseminently re-

the worse. They knew they were commit
ting crimes, and have not therefore the poor
plea of ignorance to urge in extenuation. Let

with impunity. AS was to be expected, the

press as rebellious movement, inaugurated
with view to the ultimate reinstatement
of the blacks and the absolute predominance
of the Southern element in our national

as the attempt of the Republican party at

1t is poor rule that will not work both

The arbitrators, after consulting an hour,

Peter McGeoch was entitled to the amount
claimed, with costs, or $2,250. This was
equivalent to saying that Oliver must settle at
$l.30, the full corner price on which the wheat
was bought in by McGeoch the afternoon of
the last day of July. The nature of this de-
cision was informally made known on Change

ceived with the widest demonstrations of
delight, three quarters of the members get
ting up on the steps surrounding the pit,
cheering, throwing their hats in the air and
yelling. The whole morning session was an

THE NEGRO rs a DEMOCRAT.


The Southern papers are at last awake to
the necessity of securing the cooperation of
the negroes in the political affairs of the
several States, and we are glad to see have
taken measures to unite them with the
white element in all essential matters of
government. 1t was natural that the people
of the South should regard the elevation of
their former chattels to the dignity Of citi-
zenship with anything but favor. Educated
to believe them an inferior race, they resent
ed their assumption of the ballot, and when
the negroes, by the assistance of the Wash
ington government, obtained complete dom
nance in several of the States, the indigna-
ton of the white population knew no
bounds. The fact, however, does not reflect
upon the character of the Southern people.
Any other class would have felt precisely as
they did under like circumstances. Their
conduct in antagonizing the negro was the
result of education, and due allowance
should be made.
But time seems to have brought wisdom to
the Southern people. They find that after
the first excuses natural to the elevation of
a large class of ignorant men to citi-
zenshlp have passed, the negro is not
such a bad voter after all. He has, it is
true, been manipulated by lot of unscrupu-
lous and demagogueic carpet-baggers, but is
fast seeing the error into which he has
fallen. He sees clearly That he cannot hope
to prosper if he sets himself against the best
interests of the section in which he resides,
and that by afiliating with a party opposed
| to. the development of the industry
of the South he is Indirectly
cutting his own throat. He
is gradually coming to realize, that the in
terests Of the white people of the South are
identical with his own, and that in order to
serve his own advantage he must work in
harmony with them. The whites, too, find
| that It is suicidal to attempt to ignore the
negro as a factor-and an important one
in tie politics of the section. He is neces-
sary to the industrial advancement of the
South, and to drive him out or make him an
enemy is the worst possible stroke of policy
They are now recognizing the inevitable in
accepting his citizenship, and are trying to
turn that citize nship to account by control
ling his ballot for their mutual benefit. Dem
ocratic clubs are being organized among the
blacks, and as fast as the new ideas are pre-
sented in their true light the negroes accept
them as the gospel of political peace and
redemption.
This effort to conciliate the negroes by the
Southern people is received with alarm and
