Death or It. A. Waterman.

On Saturday evening n dispatch from
Tombstone. Arizona. announcing the
death of Thomas A. Waterman was re-
ceived here by DR.. J. J. Mcigs, and was
published iu the INDEPENDENT the same
evening.
Since that lime. from the Doctor, who
is n nephew Of the deceased, we learn
that ar. Waterman was attacked with
pneumonia some time prior TO his
death, but his coalition was not con-
sidered critical until n short time before
the fatal event. In company with a
gentleman whose name VIC did not
ienrn. deceased had been engaged in the
tin emithing and hardware business,
aud during his last sickness. was sur
rounded by friends, and received the
best OF nursing and medical attentions,
nul the last. Dan Immil and some
other old Nevada friends, were present
at tue time Of his denth.
The deceased was one OF the old.time
Californians, coming from his old home
in Lamoille county. Vermont with the
first emigration 10 the Golden State, and
was also among the early e%migrants who
crossed the Sierras to this State. Nov
ing with the eastward tide, he in 1868
came to the Reese river country, aud
became one of the founders o.. the pres.
ent city of Austin. He was one Of the
first locators in what is now known as
Lamoille Wiley, giving it that name,
after His native county. Taking au ac-
tive part in organization Of this county
In lSG0. he became lis first Clerk, and
remained in this section until attracted
to Arizona, by reports Of rich gold discov-
cries in that country, some eight years
ago, where he had since remained.

the old settlers in Eastern Nevada, who

An Exclamation Wanted.

One of the questions of the day which
should most deeply interest every
citizen in the state of Wisconsin is:
what shall be done by the public for the
care of the incurable insane so rapidly
increasing throughout the state? Its
interest to the public may be regarded
as two-fold. First, its humane appeal
to provide for this unfortunate class of
humanity; second, its personal appeal
to provide for the proper care of our
selves and friends. Since there is no
exemption from the misfortune to any
family nor any member thereof, wheth-
er they be high or low, rich or poor, ed
| ucated or ignorant, the same unwonted
calamity may befall us, each or all.
In some measure the public is already
awake to the great necessity for addi-
tional provisions, but what provisions
would best meet the want seems yet not
to be fully settled upon. Some sugges-
tons have been offered and the question
no doubt open for more. Some would
urge the state to provide other and adj
ditional asylums to meet the growing
demand. Others would provide BY
counties, each for the care of its own.
Others, again, would unite with other
counties to form corporated or copart-
nership asylums. Which of these would
best meet the want and cover the best
provision for the care of this afflicted
class and at the least necessary cost to
the public (the latter always secondary
| to the former) is question full of in
terest to us all.
The writer is not sufficiently versed
in the propositions to make selection,
and it is not probable that over one man
out of each hundred is sufficiently post
ed on them to make confident prefer
ence. In such situation AS is row
forced upon us in the county of Grant
we must take some action to properly
provide for the large surplus of insane
now returned to us from the state asy-
lums, the pressing question is: in what
manner shall we provide for the unfor-
Inmates? In these circumstances have
we no man in the county who is suffi-
GENTLY posted in matters pertaining to
the care of the insane to enlighten the
masses as to the advantages and disad-
vantages of the several methods pro-
posed?
viii they tell us why the state, which
ilaio uDtlCl W DlONloC kOI ILLS ClttSSy
now propose to turn over to counties a
portion OF their wards? / am aware
they will be answered that there are no
accommodations for the increase, but
the state has already two asylums with
abundance of territory on which to erect
more, and why stop there if more are
required?
Please tell us why the southwestern
rs well as the northwestern portion
should not have an asylum, and if
/ this is not sufficient more in other local
tiles. If there be economy in having
two does it cease to be such in greater
number? If the insane can be better
cared for by the state why not pursue
this course? If two or three counties,
by uniting can give their insane better
care than one why is it not true when
the state assumes the care? The fore
going and other questions arise touch
ing this subject, with many, who, no
doubt, would feel thankful for informa-
ton, and, by having it, would be better
prepared to take final action.

The Republican ticket is headed by a
gallant soldier who dealt sturdy blows
at rebellion until it was knocked out of
time and out of existence. The frontis-
piece of the Democratic ticket is man
who remained quietly at home making
the most that he could out OF the war.
The one ticket bears, besides, the names
of other gallant soldiers. one of whom
left an arm on the southern fields as a
memento of the fierce struggle. The
other is as barren as granite rock of
honored names of this class. Boys in

The floods of the past two weeks, the
subsequent of the preceding heavy
rains have worked damages to crops
and other property that a careful COM
putation would place we'll in the mil
lions The continuous rains have car
ried gloom in their train, and brought
about a state of affairs that makes even

airy freShet and will cause the year 1881
to be long remembered by residents

ially in the ease of the latter river. has
been never before known. 4 good por-
ton of the railroad track in this section
has been under water. with conse-
ouent disturbance of travel and traffic.
The water gates above seem to have
been lifted to their highest point and
the downfall of moiStnesS was. for Il
time, something terrible to contemplate.
Even with the slackening OF the tor
rents from the heavens the earthly tur-

The action of the Democratic Sena-
tors in violating all rules of political
courtesy and good breeding by disfran-
chising one state and part of another in
order to grab the Presidency pro tenn
pore of the Senate has not advanced the
party they represent in the affections of
The nation. 1t was a case of grand lar
ceny of the most aggravated type. Yet
the game was hardly worth the trouble
and ignominy as Immediately upon the
admission of the three new senators an
appeal was taken and Judge Davis now
occupies the coveted seat. This is only
another illustration Of the we'll worn
fact that Democracy to-day, notwith-
standing the thin yeneering of diluted
republicanism that appears in its party
platforms, is much the same rs it wa.
twenty years ago. Given the occasion

The near approach to the time for the
meeting of the County Board brings
again to the surface the question of how
the chronic insane are to be cared for
hereafter in this county. The board,
at its coming meeting, will have to take
some action in the matter. The ques-
ton IS one open to many considerations
of policy and economy, which should
receive careful thought; but prompt
action should certainly follow. The
county buildings capable of accommo-
dating unfortunates of this class are
filled to their utmost capacity, and with
the same increase in insane persons as
has obtained in the past, it is only a
matter of very short time when these
patients will have to be cared for by
their friends. 1t has been suggested
that two or three counties might com
blne, and, together, build an asylum.
thus reducing the cost to each. The re-
corded experience of the past has not
been favorable to plans of this kind.
Similar co-partnership arrangements
have, in nearly every instance, proven
productive of nothing but a constant
wrangle and Misunderstanding There
are, in the opinion of The HERALD, but
two horns to the present dilemma. Eli
Their the county must build for itself or
the state must be induced to construct
more asylums in different sections, as
suggested by a correspondent in another
column. AS the quota of the insane pa
tients in other counties throughout
the state is not-with but very few ex-
ceptions-near as great as in Grant
county, it is hardly probable that the
state could be induced to move in the
matter. Certainly not in time to afford
the Immediate relief here needed. Hence
there remains but one proposition,
namely, for the county to proceed and
erect home for these helpless charges,
and this the board should certainly
provide way for doing at the very
earliest possible moment.
