THE INSANE ASYLUM GANG

The st. Peter Tribune Qnsane Asylum or
gan contains an elaborate card from the
trustees of the Insane Hospital, which it
claims has been forwarded to the Governor
as reply to the blistering report of the
Senate investigating committee. The reply
is evidently the work of Rev.
Kerr, and is violent and indecent
throughout. Mr.. Kerr having been
shown up in his rascalities by the consmit-
tee, having been set down by the experts who
examined his accounts, as defaulter to a
large amount, is naturally indignant
No rogue e'er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law.
That the obese and oily Rev. Kerr is a
clerical rascal, no one, outside the ASYLUM
ring, can doubt, who carefully weighs what
has been said on both sides. He defends the
trustees and the trustees defend him as a
matter of reciprocity. This defense admits
no wrong. 1t defends Belts who
choked a patient to death with
wooden plug and hot soup
aud boasts that he is still retained. The
criminal carelessness of an attendant in
allowing an insane patient to be scalded TO
death is fully endorsed and approved, and
again the boast is made that the offender is
still retained
The centennial steal is heartily approved,
and Ialbot's deliberate swindle in con-
structive mileage is thus approved:
AS to the matter of mileage received by one
member, Mr.. Talbot, while performing the
duty assigned another: It was claimed by
MN because he thought it was right, inasmuch
as he only received the amount that the other
trustee would have been entitled to had he ner-
formed the service. If he is wrong, it is an in
dividnal matter, and he is willing to accent
the blame.
Ibis Is fair sample of the style of the
whole report. Murder and robbery are de-
tended as slibly as though they were virtues
to be commended. Every swindle exposed
by tia Senate committee is fully approved,
and every dollar stolen from the State is de-
c!ared legitimate plumber. The whole gang.
Trustees, Kerr and DIR. Bartlett all unite in
throwing defiance at the people, whose ser
wants they are. They have ruled and robbed
SO undisputedly for SO many years that they
consider it impairment for anyone to inter
tere with their populations.
After denouncing the late committee thew
call for another investigation, evidently with
the view of getting packed committee who
will report all right. It is desperate game
played by desperate gang who have for
years despoiled the State, and reluctantly
loosen their grip.
Perhaps it will win, but if so it will be be.
cause the Legislature shamefully neglects its
duty. We do not look for such neglect.

Popular Phoso0raDhs,

The sale of photographs of government
celebrities in the capitol at Washington
shows some curious facts. Mrs. Hayes
photographs sell in the lead of all 9TH
ers-hundreds buying hers that will not
touch the picture of the President. OF the
Senator'S, Blaine's sell better than any other
by one-half. Lamar and Gordon follow.
Conkling is away in the rear, Thurman be-
ing considerably ahead of him. There is
no demand for Grant. On the House side of
the capitol the speaker sells well. Next to
him is Alexander Stephens, then follows
Butler. For the pictures of the other mem.
bers OF the House there is little demand.

MAN has just been released from the
Dl1mont insane asylum at Pittsburgh after a
confinement of i've years. duration. The
physicians of the asylum declared him per-
fectly sane during all Of this time, and he
made repeated efforts to have his case beard
to determine the question of his mental
state, but without avail. The officers of the
institution refused to bring his petitions be-
fore the courts, and he has been compelled TO
live in the society Of lunatics for all those
weary years. His case is unfortunately not
an exceptional one, for every few months we
hear of similar outrages.

a newspaper Office and theatre are in

the knights of the quill discovered a pair of
pheasants hanging in the managers window
of the theatre. BY the aid of an improvised
fishing net the pheasants passed from the
abode of Thespis to the shrine OF Minerva.
The next move was to send the birds to tha
manager of the theatre, with the REQUEST
that he would accept a trifing gift of game.
and an intimation that if he had private
box to spare for that evening the donors
would be very grateful. The manager
promptly responded with neat note oe
thanks and an order for stage-box.

which Gath has repeated in the shape of g
