Dismiss Them All!

The discovery that unfortunate pauper
lunatics in the Onondaga County Poor
house are Gagged like wild beasts and treated
with greater brutality than is known ever
to have been inflicted on animals has, it is
said, fairly aroused public indignation, and
the matter is to be s.thoroughly investi-
gated" But what need OF investigation {?
No person questions the truthfulness of the
story told by the Visiting Committee as to
the horrible condition Of the victims of the
inhuman treatment. The only action the
Supervisors Of Onondaga county can prop
erly take is to dismiss every county employe
whose duties are connected with the insane
asylum building and to refuse admission into
the Poorhouse in future Of any doctor who
from the superintendent down, who knew
Of the existence of these filthy cages and
the vile purpose for which they were used,
is fit to be intrusted with authority over
the paupers OF to hold any public position.
Popular indignation" dies out and a
Thorough investigation" by supervisors
means whitewashing. The only course for
honest Christian men to pursue is to drive
from the public service every official, high
or low, who had any part, direct or indirect.
in the brutality practised at the Onondaga
Poorhouse, and any supervisor who may
hesitate to make an example of these per-
sons will only afford satisfactory evidence
that he ought himself to be sent into retire
ment by his constituents.

Arrest of Colonel Mapleson.

The Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Children have perhaps shown more zeal
than wisdom in causing the arragnment OF
dance in the pretty ballet of .'The Butter
flies" at the Acadelny Of Music. They have
the law on their side, but it is q
law which would not have been enacted
had there been nothing more Objectionable
for it to prohibit than such an employment
Of children as puts Mr. Mapleson within its
letter, though not within its spirit. Mere
dancing in the evening is not INJURIOUS to
the health or the morals of young children.
There are many evening dancing schools in
the city which children attend, accom-
panied by their mothers, elder sisters or
nurses, and occasionally the progress
Of the pupils is exhibited to an invited
audience Of their friends. The ballet
at the Academy is quite as unobjectionable
on moral or sanitary grounds, but as it falls
within the interdict Of the law the zeal of
Mr.. Lundberg has been reused against it.
The law of 1876 is good one, and little
convenient blindness on the part of its
would have tended to preserve its pop
ularty. 1t prohibits dancing or gymnastic
performances on stage or in places
of public amusement by children under
sixteen years Of age, and was aimed against
places very different from the Academy Of
Music. But still the law is the law, and if
its friends render it unpopular by so strict
an enforcement it is perhaps lesser risk
than that Of maxim J it unpopular by raising
an outcry that only tho poor are punished
under it while fashion is exempted.

northeastern portion of the zone oil low pressure
INTO The ocean, making ne curves Of tue isobass

Southern and Gulf districts the area Of low

yesterday afternoon, and well marked storm
centre has appeared p Manitoba and is moving
over the northern British Possessions. Rain has
fallen in tho Middle Atlantic aud New England

trcts. IN tho latter section the fail has
been continuous and heavy. The winds
have been fresh 10 brisk on tho Middle
Atlantic and New England coasts and in the

and will be felt in the lower lake regions and
eastward to the ocean toward the end of the

be expected over the northern lakes during the

its vicinity today will be cold and partly cloudy,

The Press Endorsed.


Among the first papers in this State to adj
voeate new constitution, we are proud to
say, was the Bulletin. For more than twelve
months it's columns have borne evidence OF
the profound interest 1t has taken In this
great question, We are glad to see that It's
1abors have not been In vain and that the
paper Is, what 1t has always held itself to be-
Il true exponent Of the sentiment OF the people
among whom 1t Is published.
We must say we are extremely gratttted at
Che action Of our convention. but 1t was no
more than we expected from Its intelligence
and public spirit and the constituency that it
represented No better or more representa-
tive body Of men ever sat In our parish, and
their verdict may be regarded as q true ex-
preston Of the will Of those they represent.
The resolutions In which the convention gives
expression to their views are worthy OF the
respectable body from which they emanated,
and, In our opinion, assume the true ground
upon which the amendments are to be OPP
posed and new constitution insisted upon.
Avoyeles has thus been the foremost par
ish In the State TO formally declare itself In
favor Of constitutional convention. and we
have an abiding faith that IL will be followed
by others, whose collective voice will make
itself heard IN the halls Of our State COnveu-
ton. We heartily sympathlze with the peO-
pie everywhere In this their supreme effort at
redemption, and we say TO them: Be Of good
cheer. The hour Of your delveranCe is near
If you will only strike. You have but to reach
forth, and the gltterlng prize Is yours.

The chief popularity Of the hasheesh vision
Is it's immense eXaggeraHOn OF time and

years. Narrowly Circumstanced views seem
to run out into vstas embracing not only this
enrth but the entire vastness OF the universe.

the hasheesh condition. An amateur relates,

and each note became flower, and the flowers
formed wreaths and garlands, in which the
harmony Of color represented the harmony
