timated at from fifteen hundred to two
thousand. The meeting was held in a
pleasant grove near the river, and the in
tellectual and material cravings of the
large assembly were amply satisfied
By u generous supply of provis-
ions AMI number Of speeches
ON the political issues of the day The
latter feature of the program was in
auguratcd by Mr. John Davis, editor of
the Junction City Tribune, who spoke
in behalf of the Grccnback cause for
about forty minutes, and was then fol-
lowed by Senator Plumb, who utterly
demolished the imitation heresies of his
oratoIical predecessor, and, as we learn,
made one Of the most able
and convincing arguments in favor
of honest money which has ever been
delivered IN Kansas. His speech lasted
nearly two hours, during which time he
held the undivided attention of his aud
itors, and impaired IT, many of them a
clearer conception of the financial
question than they had ever before
possessed. MIR. Davis, in badly de
moraliZed condition, a@ain came To the
front, and began to abuse Gen. Garfield.

upon by Hon. w w Scott, who pro.
duccd the testimony OF such men as

The alarming increase of insanity in
Lyon county, aud the present inadequate
provision furnished by the state for its
wards who are so UNNECESSARILY unhap-
Ply as TO be afflicted with mental aberril-
ton, has attracted public attention to
the important question of the dispOsi-
ton of these poor people pending their
reception at the asylum During the
past few months the necessity has FIRE
quenty occurred of combining insane
people in the county Jail, and only to-
day, within its walls, poor woman
thus afflicted was mercifully relieved by
death from more terrible fate, after
languishing with consuming fever for
some days. She had every attention
which the sheriff and his family could
give her, but in justice to them and those
who come under their care, humanity
demands that some provision be made
Immediately for the comfort and care of
these unfortunate persons. Weeks and
even months often elapse between their
arrest and the receipt of an order to re-
ccIve them into the state asylum, and
during this interval they must be con
fined in the very worst OF all places to
increase their malady and make them
incurablc. 1t seems that pecuniary in
teIest, If no other, should induce the cit
liens of this county to make immediate
provision for restraining and properly
caring for them. There is no place or
provision made for the sick who have
no home. VIII not the christian ladies
of this city see 10 it that Il room be pre-
pared and placed in the hands OF some
competent person to receive and care for
the sick? What li;tlc money is needed
will be promptly furnished. by the good
citizens Of this city if the matter is
brought 10 their notice, c.
