A CRYING Need.

One more unfortunate has been added
to the already large list credited to this
county of those who grope blindly
among the mists and darkness of a be-
nighted reason. AS stated in The HER
AID last week no more insane persons
can be placed in the asylum at Madison
except through the courtesy and the di-
rect permission of the Superintendent in
charge, as Grant county has already
oveTrun its quota sixteen. Even these
latter will, before long, undoubtedly, be
thrown back upon the county when the
State Board find the state of affairs that
obtains at that institution. In view of
these facts the question is quite peril
nent: what are the citizens of Grant
county going to do about it? They have
come to jumping off place where
something must be done and immedi-
ately. Above the questions of economy
come those of justice and humanity.
Even the untutored savage provides,
with respectful care, for this class of
unfortunates. Their condition appeals
to the sympathies of every heart, barba-
rian and civilized alike.
THE HERALD would not feel justified
in advocating the addition of the small
est mite to the taxes of the county did
it not have practical evidence that such
addition was pressing necessity. 1t
is something that cannot be evaded
Sooner or later a county asylum for the
incurable insane will have to be built
With forty subjects of this class liable to
be thrown back upon the hands of the
county authorities at any moment some
provision should certainly be made to
meet the contingency. The poor farm,
never fit place for subjects of this
class, is already filed to Overlooking,
the Jail is rapidly being placed in the
same condition. When that point is
reached the present resources of the
county are exhausted. There then is
but one thing left, to farm out the re-
mainder to such persons as will accept
the task of keeping them, a course not
only revolving to all feelings of humani-
ty but the very reverse of economical.
Economy, combined with the proper
care ofthis class of the county's charges,
points to only one solution of the
problem which every day serves only to
complicate the more; namely, county
asy lum, where comfortable quarters can
be combined with careful and con-
sistent supervision of these helpless
charges

The withdrawal of Mr.. Waggoner,
leaving Richland county without a can
didate, the Republican hastens to fill the
gap with Mr.. Joseph NJ. Thomas, whom it
presents for the Office of Railroad Com
missioner. The Republican modestly
assumes for this gentleman and his
claims the solid vote of the Third dis
trict. 1t is altogether too previous in
this assumption. The candidate of the
Third district as such, if any can COM
bine the vote of the district, will be
found in the person of Senator George
W. Ryland, gentleman with not only
local but a state reputation. He, more
than any one man, can unite the vote of
the district into a solid phalanx of use
funcss. Separate atoms have but little
influence in the forces of nature. Co
hesion is as much rule of political as
physical life. Unity, when it comes.
must be on the strongest body. This
present strongest body, politically,
is the candidate presented from
this portion of the district, and to him
eventually, will these now separate
forces incline.

Scarcely two weeks remain before the
meeting of the convention TO nominate
state officers The central point Of in
terest is rightfully the governorship.
For this position candidates are multi
plying with a celebrity that is startling
Among the more prominent names men,
toned that of General jeremiah NJ.
RuSk strikes closest to the popular
heart. Whatever may be the ultimate
result Jerry will certainly 90 into the
convention with strong and enthusiasts
tic following. Among the many candi-
didates now named for this position
none will appeal more strongly to the
feelings of the masses than General
Rusk. a brave soldier. good citizen,
legislator whose record stands for it.
self; frank, great-hearted and genial,
he is man that the people feel they
can ''te to- with a certainty that blow
high, blow low they would never be do
serted, nor would the affairs of state
come TO loss. Should he receive the
nomination at the convention soon to
sssemble-the same being equivalent to
an election-THE HERALD feels assured
that the people would have no reason 10
regret their choice. As soldier Gen.
Rusk appeals strongly to the soldier ell
ement in this county and district, an APP
peal that circumstances every day ac-
cruing show has not been made in vain.
In the coming struggle Grant county
and the Third District may, with rea-
sonable certainty, be put down for Gen.
Jeremiah NJ. Rusk.

Numerous accounts have been pub
lished of an alleged conference held
at the house of Vice-PreSident Arthur.
during the dark days when the life of
the President seemed slowly ebbing
away, at which a course was marked
out for Mr.. Arthur. in case he should
be called to the Presidential chair. The
truth of these reports are, however,
stoutly denied by those who were said to
have been present. For the sake of hui
mainly these denials should be accepted
as disposing of The question. The mere
thought of such ghoulishness is too re-
voting for The mind to dwell upon.

The near approach of the time for
holding the state convention of necessity
calls for active work on all sides to the
end that delegates may be elected from
the different towns and districts who
will be the representatives of the major
ity feeling. The respect due personal
opinions, if no more patriotic spirit,
should cause every citizen to appear at
the primaries and see personally that
no mistakes are made. BY so doing
such a delegation will be sent up to the
state convention as will fully represent
the majority of Grant county.

slightly mistaken. The second name
