THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in i'm
portant official positions, have deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who have sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who have not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but have smirched
the fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately are. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list will be hereafter appended the
names of such other men as shall take
offices to which they know they are not
elected, and who become equally guilty by
taking advantage of the vile conduct of
these malefactors:

THE CARg OF. THE INSANE.

The Reno journal advocates the
erection Of an Insane Asylum in Ne
vada, and thinks ''the incoming Legs
fature will fall short OF its duty should
it fail to provide for the care of our in
sane at home." The question was dis
cussed at length two years ago. and
from motives of economy, we believe,
the Legislature decided to have the
insane provided for at Stockton, CAL, by
Messrs. Langdon & Clark. Since that
Legislature adjourned, tho Journal,
whose editor was a member of the
body, has not, that we are aware OF,
intimated shat it fell Short in. its duty
for not providing for our insane at
home" The question is simply one of
dollars and cents. The State is not in
a condition financially to expend a
great amount OF money in building a
Lunatic4 Asylum, but if it is shown. that
without running in debt to the amount
of $780, 00 or 5000 600, the insane can
be cared for at home at no greater ex-
pense than they are in California, then
an Asylum should be built at once.
The taxpayers of Nevada produce
many of the articles consumed by the
insane, and they should be afforded an
opportunity to supply the Asylum with
their products at market rates, unless
the expense to the whole State should
be in excess of that now charged by
Messrs. Langdon & Clark. OF the
$40, 900 now expended in California
yearly for the Nevada insane not one
cent ever finds its way back to the
State Treasury in taxes or, anything
else; yet, in consequence of the fnan-
cial condition of Nevada, it may not be
advisable to make the change. The
Treasury will be nearly or quite de-
plotted when the expenses of the next
Legislature are paid. The State rate
of taxation will have to be increased,
and whether or not it viii be advisable
TO run in debt for the erection of
Lunatic Asylum, is an open question. :

Bread Reform.

A large meeting was held at the Town
Hall, Kensington, in England, the other
day, under the auspices of the Bread
Reform League, to advocate the xni-
versal use of what is technically known
as "wheat meal bread. DIR. B. w.
Richardson, the well-known authority
on hygiene, presided. One of the speak
ers maintained that the bread in COM
mon use was forty per cent. deficient in
sustaining qualities. An entire grain Of
wheat contained everything that was
required for nourishing purposes, and
yet the better half of it was wasted, and
this half was much healthier food,
especially for children. A white loaf,
IN fact, was only half loaf, for large
portion Of the material that formed
muscular flesh, and nearly all that
formed bone, were taken from it. Chill
dren fed ON white bread were very liza
BILE to suffer from rickety bones, con-
sumption, and bad teeth, because their
food did not nourish them properly
The outward whiteness of the flour
might be considered an outward sign of
the starvation within. One shilling's
worth of wheat meal bread contained
three times the flesh forming, seventy
times the heat-producing, and three
times the bone forming material to be
found in a shilling's worth of beefsteak.
DIR. Richardson maintained that if the
mothers of this Kingdom were to give
their families whole meal, which con-
tanned the structure Of the skeleton, in
from three to four generations all the
deformities of children, not caused by
accidents, which they now saw, would
pass away, as by the hands Of an invisi-
bic enchantress.

sECTIoNALIsM.

Now that the Presidential election is
over and people are calming down, SO
that they can take an unprejudiced
look at the political field, they begin to
see that sectionalism was a false issue
in the campaign, although it served
stump speakers a good purpose in arous-
ing hates and prejudices, and contribu-
ted more than anything else, save per-
haps theain6uence of the Administra-
tion, the money collected from Federal
officials and the treachery of the Tam
many leaders, toward eleeting Garfield
The returns from Delaware, Florida,
Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia,
and Tennessee show that those States
are by no means solid for the Democ-
racy. A change Of two or three votes
IN a hundred in any Of those States
would have given them to the Republi-
cans. In Tennessee the Democracy di-
vided on local issues, and the Republi-
cans, who took no sides on the questions
involved, elected a Governor and per
naps q majority of the Legislature.
Republican Congressman were also
elected in many districts south of Mason
and Dixon's line, which is another cir
cumstance that proves that the South is
by no means solidly Democratic. 1t is
true there are Southern States in which
no Republicans were elected to Con-
gress, but as an offset there are several
Northern States in which no Democrats
were elected. While Garfield was de-
feated by small maiorities in several of
the Southern States, Hancock is but
Little behind in many of the Northern
States. In Connecticut, Indiana, New
Hampshire, New York, and Oregon,
which cast sixty four Electoral votes, a
change OF one vote in every hundred
from Garfield to- Hancock would have
given those States to the Hancock
Electors. When the result depends
upon the ballot cast by one voter in
every hundred, the margin is too small
to be claimed as victory for sectional
ism. The truth is while, thousands of
voters were deferred from casting their
ballots for brave Union soldier, be-
cause of the fanatical appeals to their
prejudices aado- by stump speakers,
every intelligent man, no matter what
his politics may be, will to-day admit
that the Union would be as safe with
Hancock at the head of the Govern
ment as it is. with Hayes, or anybody
else at the helm, and that sectionalism
was false issue in the campaign just
closed.

Those who have not visited the
works of the Puget Sound Packing
Co. would be surprised to witness
the growing importance of this ex-
detrimental test of one of our unde-
veloped resources. 1t already gives
employment, to nearly q score of
persons, and the quality of the arti-
Gle placed on the market (spiced
clans, clans and clam chowder) is
such that it is finding favor to the ex-
clusion of the Eastern brands. The
demand is steadily increasing, at a
ratio which will soon justify the COM
pany in making improvements which
will make it one of the established
industries of the country, and lead
to the canning Of other articles which
afford quite as large margin for
profit. The clans are mainly OBJ
tanned from Mud Bay, and are
brought up by Indians by the canoe
load. The price paid is fifty cents
per bushel, but it is thought they
can be afforded at a less price, by
the systematic application of white
labor. The factory now puts up 80
dozen one pound cans per day, and
they sell by the case at 81 90 per
dozen.

hopelessly lost after drive of ten.
Nor was our faith in humanity ma
terially strengthened when festive
looking chap in carriage, who we
met at the crossroads, deliberately
pointed out the Puyallup road as
the shortest way to Olympia! That
it did not lead to the Capital City,
We found from a practical test of
the absurdity of the old adage about
the " shortest way home" The
result of these wanderings was that
we did not arrive at the lake until it
was too dark to enjoy a sight Of its
clear waters and pebbly beach, and
that we had to make the journey
home at night. But thanks to the
the keen eye-sight of the horses and
the skill of our amateur driver, Mr..
Burmeister, we arrived at home
safely, about 10 P. NJ. The trip
was not devoid of its amusing
incidents, but of these we have prom
ised to say nothing and so let them
pass.

Washington Letter.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 18th, 1SSl

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 18th, 1880.
What few Federal officials are
here have been lately discussing the
probable object of Garfeld's Eastern
trip. 1t is no secret-indeed, the
less discreet Radical papers publish
the fact in advance-that the Gener-
al came on to consult with the po-
litical managers who were to run the
campaign and the capitalists who
were to furnish the means. OF the
latter, one hundred were to be pre-
sent, and doubtless were. No one
thinks of complaining when politi-
clans meet to discuss campaigns,
and, as to the capitalists, they have
right as Cakes Ames said in rela-
ton to his transaction with Garfield
and other Congressman, to put their
money wherever it will do the
most good" The only question
which agitates the Radical officials
here, is as the presence of Garfield
while the politicians are dividing the
prospective Offices and the capital
lists are making terms. All of those
now here acknowledge that this is
the first time tina. Presidential
candidate has done anything of the
kind. They c'.less to doubt as
to the final effect, some thinking
that the people will be disguised;
and others that the same people will
be overawed by the published fact
that hundred principal capital
lists have been in consultation with
the Radical candidate. 1 incline to
the former opinion, and think the
Eastern trip of the Radical candi-
date the mistake of his life. There
is very general opinion among the
people, from Maine to Texas, at this
time, that mere capitalists are not
the desirable rulers.
Mr.. Hayes lett here yesterday for
Columbus, Ohio, to attend the great
Soldiers Reunion. He was, in his
station, an excellent officer during
the war, and is liked by all the Ohio
soldiers. He was offered place in
Congress while serving at the front,
same seventeen years ago, at the
same time Garfield, also at the front,
was offered one. Garfield accepted,
and Hayes declined, saying that any
one who would then accept place
of safety in the rear ought to be
scalped. He did not know, of
course, that Garfield at that time
was accepting q "place safety in the
rear," or that both of them would
afterwards be Presidential candi-
dates, but in the current of events
the words he then used have come
to he q significant and effective con-
domination of his associate in the
field aud in politics.
The first Comptroller of the Treas
ury has decided in the case of a
draft of the United States Treasury
which Tennessee State court or
dered attached, that it is only pay
able when endorsed by the payee or

paid to receiver, and the Comp
troller re-afirms o former opinion
of Mr.. Guthrie when Secretary Of
the Treasury, that a Government
draft can not be garnisheed.

Visit TO the Asylum.

A few days age, in company will
. party of ladies and gentlemen, We
visited the Hospital for the Insane,
in Pierce county. The trip was
made by land, and was very en-.
ioyable drive of four hours duration,
notwithstanding dense smoke OBJ
scured the glorious scenery to be
witnessed on a fair day from the
plains of Nisqually. There was
snough danger, however, from
burning trees along the route, and
annoyance from an occasional pros
trate monarch across the road, COM
peliinga meander through the woods

70 keep the interest from tagging.
On arriving at the Asylum, the
party met with a very hospitable
greeting from the Superintendent
and his family. and several hours
were very pleasantly spent in in
speeding the wards Of this well-kept
institution. The patients were at
dinner when we passed through the
principal ward, and an opportunity
VAS thus offered to ascertain the
precise bill of fare served at time
when visitors we're not expected. It
consisted of plain but wholesome
food, well cooked, and ample in
quantity. It was apparently as
good meal as is ordinarily served
ut our hotels, and much better than
some dinners we have seen spread
while travelling. Constant improve
ments are being made to the asylum
buildings. A large wash-room, has
Just been erected, and a building for
refractory patients in the female
ward is contemplated. The garden
is small, but under good cultivation,
and produces many of the vegetables
of daily use. A tract of bottom land
is needed for the purpose, and the
Superintendent is in hopes that n
suitable piece may be obtained at
convenient distance from the hos
pital. for next seasons operations.
The visitors were pleased with their
visit and the courteous reception
they met with from DIR. Willard and
his family.
On the return trip it was proposed
to visit Gravelly lake, which lies
several miles out of the regular
course. and lest we might not fol-
low the minute directions given by
the Doctor, he kindly prepared a
map of the route, on which was
elaborately pictured the lakes, the
road to travel and directions, on q
scale OF about two miles to the inch.
And it was this scale which led us
astray. The plat, like combine
tion lock, was perfect in itself and
capable Of serving the purpose in
