Institution for the Blind.

The State Institution for the education of
the blind, located in Baton Rouge, is doing good
stitution though often miscalled asylum is
by statute and i'll fact. strictly school,. 1t Is
| not and the law declares it shall not be an
asylum or home for destitute blind persons.
Such persons can be provided for best by the
towns or parishes in which they live. The
institution is no more a home for needy sight
less persons than is the State University a
| home for needy sighted persons. 1t is free
public school designed to train the young blind
| to intelligence, selfreliance and Self-help The
pupils are instructed in full grammar-school
course, in music and in some handcraft. 1t is
well known that most OF the uneducated blind
are helpless and wholly dependent; but statis-
noT f1 about ssxsn per cent tho OF m
| meratlOn of 1880 reports eight hundred and
| fOrtyslx blind persons in Louisiana. or this
number about one hundred and fifteen ars
| under twenty years of age. This is the class
which the school is meant to serve. few
who are more than twenty years of age may
| be admitted for short time with view to
special training. To the blind the only full
relief is restoration to sight; but where this is
impossible, thorough training is the next best
thing and indeed the only available mitigation:
must he begun at the earliest moment prac-
ticabe. Postponement increases the difficulty
OF the progress and renders results less salts
| factory. Apparent as this is, it is still true
that many of the blind are detained from
school until they are too old to be benefited
| and others are never sent. A natural Du1
unwise tenderness is the fact offered IN eSpla-
nation and in excuse. tenderness which en-
forces ignorance and helplessness, thereby
multiplying the evils of so grievous deprlN,a-
ton, is in effect much like cruelty. 1t is the
duty of parents to place their blind children az
school as soon as they are able to enter upon upon
school life; a duty they owe to themsels ae,s

SILVER CERTIFICATES.

Both the President and Secretary Folge

silver and the issue of silver certificates. As
to the silver dollar they give as reason
against Its further coinage the difficulty of
getting It into circulation, saying that of the

the least hesitation anywhere TO take the silver

why he can neither be democrat or re-

with extracts from a number of private letters
indicating that his personal friends, the
writer's of SAID letters, agree with him that his
speech was something altogether immense.
The extracts rs thus collected by the Times Bo

what can be the particular object of Senator
Davis just now IN boring newspaper readers
