THE INSANE HOSPITAL REPORT.

We published a few days ago the thirty
first annual report OF the Indiana Hospital
for the Insane. The report was so full and
so entirely satisfactory that its mere appear
ance carried with it refutation of the
many frivolous charges, to say nothing of
the mass Of fragrant falsehoods which the
Republican press and party leaders have
been busily engaged in circulating ever
since the benevolent institutions of the
State passed into the hands of Democratic
management. We call attention to the
report now, thinking, perhaps, that the
salient features of the report may have
escaped the attention of some of the readers
OF the Sentinel. The tax payers of the State
will be glad, for instance, to cast their eyes
over the following brief problem in add.

neat little sum of s33, 9O6 SO has been saved

like to know, IN 30 far ss voting 10 concerned,
what constitutes the "State"-the State of
OF Indiana? Does the Republican paper
that stains It's columns with such declar-
alton as we have quoted mean to be under
stood that the State is Independent OF the
people? Something above and beyond the
people2 That it is possessed OF certain ''in-
herent" powers that the people did not con
fer and which the people can not reclaim?
The people are the State. The people made
the present constitution; the people
provided methods to change 1t,
amend it, or abolish it. The peo-
pies servants, by authority conferred
by the people, invite the people on the first
Monday in April to do what? To change
the constitution, and, strange to say, the peo-
pie are invited to so change the constitution
as to degrade themselves. The same Repub
lican paper tells its readers that Men are
not born Nth the right 10 rOte as they are nth
the right to life. liberty and the pursuit Of happi
ness" that voting is not a God given, but a
mdR-giUen right"
We hear much about the divine right of
kings" which We suppose the Republican
papers from which We have quoted sp-
prove and Endorses. We believe in the
peoples divine right to vote in Indiana
their divine rights of sovereignty-to rule, to
make constitutions and laws, and 10 abolish
them at their pleasure. We believe the peo-
pie are the State, and that all power in the
American Republic is inherent in the peo-
pie; that the Government is of the people,
for the people and by the people, and we do
not believe the people, on the FIRST Monday
in April, 1880, will go to the polls and abro-
gate their divine rights, or any portion of
them

Our utter inability to furnish single Demo.
cratic electoral vote admonishes TO be mod
est; and In the choice of candidate to defer
largely to the judgment and wishes of the
pivotal States where the real work of electing
must be done. Delegates from such hopelessly
minority States as Iowa should go to the con-
vention with no uncoulpromising preferences
or antipathies, but with a full consciousness
OF the important interests at stake, and the
vital necessity for the exercise of prudence
and discretion. Indeed, IN view of our mesger
vote, we should render ourselves supremacy
ridiculous by rushing In at the very opening
of the canvass and noisily demanding either
the nomination or defeat OF any one OF the
eminent gentlemen who have been named as
candidates. trust our cOnventio will not
thus make itself the laughing stock of the
public; but will send to Cincinnati ~ intelli-
gent, prudent Democrats, capable of wise and
independent action after full consultation
and the acquisition of all possible information
as to the best interests of the party.

Professor Widdows is again occupying the
musical field. He proposes to organize aud
give grand musical festival, lasting for one
week commencing about May 10, the proceeds
to be givon to such charitable institutions of
the District az will appoint committees TO oh.
tain q sufficient number of Subscribers TO
guarantee the expenses. The festival is to
consist Of OratOriO aud orchestral performances.
There will DO four subscription performances.
the subscription price being 50, including a
reserved seat. There is to be a public rehcar.
sal, to which an admission fee will be charged;
one or more matinees aud q popular concert 10
wind up with. The orchestra is TO be com.
posed of many Of the leading New York
artsts-with whom the Professor is In com.
munioation-ss well as some Of the best vocal
and instrumental soloists. As there is at pres
emit no hall largo enough to hold the large
number OF persons that might reasonably ba
expected to be called together by the music OF
for the sake of charity, tho Professor Is IN
negotiation with John Albaugh, esq, for the
use of the National Theatre for tho occasion
and is now planning 10 convert the stage aud
auditorium into a large music hail. so that
from 900 10 l,SOO persons can he aCcommO

this matter, and is willing to give all his spare
time TO the work. II is to be hoped, therefore,
that his project may meet with responses suiii
oient to enable him to carry it out success
fully,
