INSANITY IN VERMONT.

The Vermont Legislature has been
wrestling with its biennial problem
the BrattlebOro insane asylum-and
there are indications that the question
will hold out for two years longer
perhaps for ten. In a nutshell, the
problem is this-how to take care Of
the $50 insane people of Vermont in
an asylum that, at best, cannot prop
erly receive and provide for more than
400, and is, besides, in one corner of
the State and under control that is
unsatisfactory to all parties. The
Brattlcboro asylum is nominally a pri-
vate corporation, but the State of
Vermont is so largely ''patron" that
it must interfere from time to time in
the management, and, practically, it
does interfere all the time,-keeping
the affairs of the asylum before the
public perpetually.
A little Of this agitation is a good
thing, but a great deal of it does more
harm than good,-dividing the friends
of the insane into hostile camps, and
leading to much intrigue and scandal
in connection with a subject that
ought to be considered calmly upon
its merits. Probably there will be no
peace and quietness" in Vermont
until the State builds new asylum of
its own, in the northwestern part of
the State and if such an asylum could
be cheaply built and well-managed, it
would be for the advantage of the old
asylum as we'll as of the people be-
yond the mountains, who are the most
dissatisfied with the Brattleboro insti-
tuition
The three special commissioners who
have lately reported to the Legislature,
DR.. Goldsmith, Of Rutlond; DR.. Fas-
sett, Of St. Adams :. and Mr.. w. H.
Walker, Of Ludlow, agree in recon-
mending that the State shall build at
once an asylum for $50 patients, and
that it shall pay $3.50 week for its
patients during the first year of their
hospital life, instead of So a week as
at present. 1t appears that of the 472
patients at Brattleboro when the COM
missioners made their inquiry, last
summer, 307 paid board at IS a week,
so at So. 80, 81 at 81, IS at s., and 3
at 81 a week. This is an average of
about 1885 a week, which is about
what it costs to support the insane pa
tents at the Northampton Mass. J
hospital, where the number for the
past year has been less than 440. 1t
would seem that the Vermont insane
could be boarded for as little as DR..
Earle's patients cost,-but, Of course,
much depends on the productiveness
of the asylum farm, and the amount of
labor which the patients can do.
Some surprise is expressed by the
Vermont commissioners that of the
1868 Vermont patients at Brattleboro,
all but 30 should be supported by the
State,-only one in II being paid for
from their own funds OF those of
friends.-SpTnDfeld Republican.

Az REvoIR.

A celebrated American author has
said that " The only people who make
no mistakes are those who do nothing.
To edit little paper like this is not a
very laborious task, but when in addi-
ton to the /" scissering" and pencil
ing" one has to attend to all the bust
ness Of the concern, and also preach
twice every Sunday, it makes toe'bur-
densome a'tOsk. for al ordinary man.
While. therefore, we confess to 4 fk-
ing for the newspaper business, we are
not sorry to leave it, as it makes more
additional labor than we can well per-
form. We like editing. but we like
preaching better, and propose to- de-
vote eurself exclusively to the enc
work. The acquaintance we have
formed with newspaper men through
cur connection with this paper have
been. for the most part, very pleasant,
and we have learned TO appreciate as
never before, the hard, faithful work
done by them to please the public
The editors, Of our State, notwith-
standing their propensity to "mauT
each other. are an exceedingly gener-
GUS and, on the whole, an able class of
men.
For the liberal manner in which we
have been sustained by our patrons
we return thanks, and bespeak for our
successors continuation of this sup
port, feeling assured that they will
show themselves worthy of it.

SALuIAIORY.

With the present issue of THE News
we assume its paoprietorship and cdi-
torial control. We do not wish to
make any rash promises OF noisy an
nouncement, and yet we do not hest
tate to state the policy that shall
govern the conduct of TIE News, rs
the people have reasonable right to
demand we should.
The political attitude which The
News has heretofore assumed is moth
ing to us, and henceforth we shall con-
ductit as Republican newspaper. Still
we are not so welded to that party,
its principals and leaders, as to con-
slider ourselves strictly bound to its
advocacy; but shall endeavor to pre-
serve that attitude which will leave us
free to criticise and discuss whatever,
in our opinion, may seem to us as de-
parting from sense and truth. We in
vito discussion of all the important
questions Of a political, social, agricul-
tural or domestic character; and it
shall be our endeavor to make The
News especially valuable as local
newspaper, replete with home news.
Wey naturally enough, expect to
work for living, and do not shrink
from the task. There is much before
us, and we are determined to accom-
plish our purpose, if enterprise and
industry are equal to its accomplish
ment.
