the same Us 1t is any other persons
and that without their letters COM
ing under the censorship Of the SUD-
ernteudent Of the asylum i'll which
they may lie.
There is bill now before our Leg
islature looking to this salu.ary end.
We hope 1t may pass. We think no
legislator who will examine the mat
ter will oppose it, or \ bill encom-
passing the same ends. The present
law is n license to cruelty, makes
possible the most false and cruel of
Imprisonment. We believe any per-
son who thinks about this law, will
sec the door open to abuses. Those
who can be abused under it are those
most needful of protection. Shut
within the asylum walls, insane or
not insane, any pei son is completely
at the mercy of the authorities, be
their motives good or evil Personal
rights demand something better.
Such a right is due the inmates for
all good reason. 1t would be the
most direct and surest means of pre-
venting imprisonment, and of effect
ing quick release from such incarcer-
ton 1t would insure to those really
insane safeguard that they would
be treated kindly and justly by their
keepers; it would be in all ways a re-
straint upon the exercises of ,yran-
ny; it would afford an innocent graf
itication, mitigating their mental
torture by allowing it natural vent;
it would cultivate their affections for
their friends, not ALLEVIATE them from
them. The removal of such censor
ship would Danish from their minds
the belief that their rights were be-
ing outraged, and reinstate with
them the principle of justice, with
its restoring sense of protection.
Through it, their friends can have
constant tests OF their mental condi-
ton. If their complaints of abuse
were delusive, they could hurt no
one. if true, they could be corrected
without public notoriety.
1t is easy to see how this restraint
upon sensitive minds, how the tor
turing desire to write, the consum-
ing anxiety to correspond with fam
lily and friends, would work to
patients injury, Let every man put
himself in n patients place-partic.
ularly in the place of a patient not
insane-and the case will argue
itself.

Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows.

Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows.
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
met in Baltimore on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. The report of the Grand
Sire gives the condition of the order
at the present time as follows:
Number of Grand Lodges, so, an
increase of 2; subordinate lodges,
Co.'s, increase of 81; of grand en-
campments, 80; Of subordinate en-
equipments, l, 1868, increase of %; of
lodge limitations, 33, $50, decrease
of 2,227; of lodge members, 442, PSI
a decrease 5,72O; of encampment
members, 80, 40G, q decrease of 1919;
total relief fund, $1,74O, 5O5.GS, an
increase of $35, 1887; total reve-
nue., 1896, 9SG.52, a decrease of
Sl56,O65.3S. The report then gives
tHo uocloiou Va tuo NIuuu ORE Oh
various matters and questions coming
before him on the subject of repre-
sentation in the Grand Lodge. He
says:
We ought to reducerc presentation
to one from each grand body. The
membership of this body should be
reduced to one from each Grand
Lodge and Grand Encampment.
Possibly with this reduction and
strict economy in all respects, espec-
tally in printing, by emitting that
unjust annual donation of the Jour-
nal and digest to new members and
by biennial sessions, our expenses
may be brought within our income.
At our present expense il will require
representation tax of over 5000 to
meet it.
The report favors q repeal of the
provision of the constitution restrict
ing membership to free white males.
The report of the Grand Treasurer
for the fiscal year ending August 31st,
shows the total receipts of the Grand
Lodge, including cash balance $l0,-
661 on hand at the close of the pre-
vious fiscal year, to have been $49,-
466, 40 and the total disbursements,
S37 ,971.32, leaving a cash balance of
$11 ,495,17. Deducting the cash bal.
ance on hand, and the amount re-
ceived from the sale of United States
bonds, the revenue proper for the
fiscal year was $50, 6G4.18 and de-
Quoting from the disbursements the
amount invested in the purchase of
United States bonds, the expenses
proper were 500, 3S2.5O, leaving q
balance of the revenue proper of
81 1864 81 at the close of the year.
The report OF the Grand Secretary
shows that during the year AZ, SOB
brothers and 6,155 widowed families
were relieved; 237, 437 weeks benefits
were paid, aud 4 1863 brothers buried.
The amounts paid for the relief OF
brothers was $1,O4O,79l. 2S; for
widowed families, $l45 ,O35.54; for
the education of orphans IA, 755. 80;
for burying the dead, 1882, $50 10;
for special relief, $64 POI. 40.
Resolutions were offered and re-
ferred fixing the per diem of mem
bers at 81, and mileage at eight cents
per mile; also withdrawing from
Past Grand Shes the light to partic-
ipate in the deliberations of the
Grand Lodge.

INGERsoLL says: II believe that
alcohol, to certain degree, demon
alizes those who make it and those
who drink it. I believe that from
the time it issues from the coiled and
poisoned worm Of the distillery, until
it empties into the hell of crime, dis
honor and death, it demoralizes all
that touch it from the source to its
end. I do not believe that anybody
can contemplate the subject without
becoming prejudiced against the
liquor crime. All we have to do is
to think of the wretch upon either
bank OF the river of death--of the
suicide of the insanity--of the pow
erty-of the ignorance-of the des-
titution-of the children Juggling at
the faded dresses of weeping aid
despairing women crying for bread
of the men of genus it has wrecked
of tho millions struggling with i'm
aginary serpents produced by this
devilish thing; and when you think
of the jails, of the alms-houses, OF
the asylums. of the prisons, and OF
the scaffolds upon either bank, do
not wonder that every thoughtful
~ L
man is preiudiced against that
damned stuff called alcohol"

for creating a Board OF Equalization,
to adjust inequalities Ill the assessed

The present plan OF keeping Terri
torial convicts, by contract, is pro-
Hounced an improvement upon the

An appropriation is recommended
to dofray the necessary expenses OF

An appropriation is likewise ia
vored for the Territorial University.
The Message suggests the enact

Judge now on the EnShsh cehch'
the former declaring That III HIS day'
200 years ago, intcmpeiahce was 'he
cause Of four-ttths OF the crimes
committed, and the latter giving II
as his opinion that at leost two-shirds
of tle crimes now occurring, are the
direct result Of intemperance.
Mr. McCormac was followed by
Rev. J. r. Thompson, who in very
plain and forcible speech, dwelt on
the apathy of the community to this
state of things, and the great griev-
ance that the law-abiding portion OF
! the people have to foot the bills OF
damage, and pay the taxes occa-
stoned by these crimes, which often
amounts to four-ffths of all the
taxes levied.
Then Judge Carroll followed in a
ve,v able and well-studied speech in
onnos;,;on TO "Local Option." He
said # WAS not RIGHT for tbe'maiority
70 ,e,;s,,te for the minority in a mat
for nerta;n;no 70 the;r nr;vate nron-
e,tv That # was NOT the use but
Tho wilson and abuso of lionor that
made its sale n curse. TO make a
law to stop the sale of liquor because
it had been poisoned. would be the
same rs to stop the use of tea or COT
fee O, sugar because thew had been
poisoned; that we might as we'll
make laws to stop trade. or man.
ufacture or commerce. or private
! ENTERPRISE of anv kind as to make
laws to ston selling whisky: that the
traffic ought to be regulated by
license at a low rate. and that every
man ought to have his own bar.
That if majority Cypress a minor
itv il is TYRANNY. and would lead that
minority only to fioht for their rights
more strenuouslv. and that to make
those who sell liquor RESPONSIBLE for
damages arising from the traffic is
much preferable to Local Option
aw
Mr. Andrews be;no called ont in
ren]v smoke with a GREAT deal Of
force and spirit in favor of Local
Option. He said he ALWAYS defended
his PRINCIPLES when attacked, even
if unprepared. That there was a
law of heaven slammed upon eyerv
heart, the law of right and wrong,
which condemned the liquor traffi C
as the worst OF evils and pleaded for
every community to have the right
to say whether this great evil should
