selves whether the disciples Of creation
have not truth on their side, and
whether some amendment is not need
ed in the modes of burial, which, in
this country especially, seem designed
to resist the operations Of nature as
long as possible, and so to make dead
body a source of cndefnile evil.
Indeed, the whole matter Of our
burial customs il one which urgently
needs revision. 1t is astonishing that,

Human nature and brute nature

same general rules in the government
of animals which actuate us in the
control of children and grown persons,
our success would be much more GER

more agreeable TO all concerned. IF
we desire a wayward child TO do
thus and so, we do not take n raw

a formidable rival in the management
of the party.) Other States send Rep
resentatives to Washington whose
commanding talents win fame for
themselves and shed lustre upon their
constituents. The notable men in
our Congressional delegation during
the last twenty years may be counted
upon ones fingers. Instead of the re-
spect and influence which the State
should have on the national field, we
are habitually referred to bv the press
and public men ofother States in terms
that compel every true Pennsylvania
to bow his head in humiliation.
After these long years of plunder
and shame, it is encouraging to see that

can party have wakened to n sense of
the condition into which eirorganiza.

convention, declared their indepen-
dence of Bossism and nominated Il
highly creditable ticket, and it is not
too much to trust that the year 1882
will be the dawn of happier career
for the Commonwealth.
At this auspicious era in our State
politics, reason, principle and potriot-
ism demand that every honest voter
should stand firm and faithful by the
cause of genuine reform. The late
Democratic convention at Harrisburg
was marked by rare harmony aud good
sense. In Robert +. Pattison we have

All who call themselves by the

IL is probable that not many people
are aware that the number Of lunatics
in the United States is increasing with
extraordinary and portentious rapidi-
ty. Such however is the unpleasant
fact, as the incontrovertible evidences
of official statistics abundantly testify.
Every year cases of insanity are be.
coming more frequent in proportion to
the total number ofinhabitants which
the country contains. When the cen.
sus of 1870 was taken, it was found
that the insane population amounted
to 81 ,Ii2, which gave a ratio Of one to
each | 100 Of the aggregate population.
This is ratio which in 1880 had near
" doubled, for in that year it was dis
covered the army of the insane had in.
creased until il was not far short OF
one hundred thousand strong. During
the ten years ending 1880 it has in.
creased much more than two.fold. and
the ratio had risen from one in 100
to one in $40. Though this j, re-
markable and most unwelcomc state OF
things, it j. one for which it is not
