NEW YORK, january 20, 1883.

Governor Jackson in that part of
his message referring to the Hospital
for the Insane says: ssFor the first
time the asylum affords accommoda-
tions for all entitled to admission
therein" Commenting upon this
excellent showing for our state, the
Wheeling Sunday Leader, pertinently
remarks: s'This shows up in admira-
BILE relief compared with that of our
neighboring Buckeye State. Ohio
boasts of five insane asyIums MAIN
tanned at State expense, and yet the
Accommodations are inadequate, and
every county Jail and infirmary con-
tains number of unfortunate insane.
lily provided for. Ohio, however,
does not rush to the front claiming
the prize on the number of her insane,
as she does on the number of her
alleged statesmen

MIR. kenna.

An intense desire is manifested in
eertain quarters to convince Kenna
that he owes his election to some other
influence than his own popularity
This is all fudge He carried the
third District and saved the State to
the Democracy. He attended re-
HgiousIy to his own business, and did
not undertake to use his Influence
IN Congressional contests for this,
that, or the other cipher. He was not
elected without opposition, by any
means His opposition proceeded
from, and WAS concentrated in two of
the ablest men in West Virginia.
His nomination was secured by fac
tor, without which all outside sin
fuenee" would have been unavailins-
He teus intriiasicGlly fit fort the position,

The Standard Oil Company.

Senator Camden, in the North
american Rerie1r, discusses the his
tory of the Oil industry of the United
States, under the auspices of the
Standard Oil Company He traces
the Development of this business
from its origin to its present maturity
and magnitude He omits, however,
to give us any information as to its
unlawful attempts to control trunspor-
tdtIoR, and its morbid aptitude to en-
gage IN enterprises entirely uncon-
nected with the objects of its original
Incorporation For example, the fol-
lowing extract Will illustrate the fact
that this company, instead of confin-
ing its attention TO oil, has branchcd
out into speeulations as reprehensible
In motive, as they are ilIegitimate in
origin=
The Standard Oil Company, the
towering monopoly of the United
States, turned its attention to pastur-
age In the Indian territory, and 5v
planting red men on quarter sections
and taking leases from them secured
temporary possession of 200, 900
acres, and placed barbed-wire fenc-
ing around it. But Secretary Teller
refuses to approve of the dicker.

Prohibition is Democratic.

The greatest good for the greatest
number. No sound Democrat will
dispute that proposition. The Liquor
traffic is, if a good in any sense at all,
a good confined to the distiller and
the vendor, and a decided injury to
each and every other human creature,
whether they use it or not. If they
use it in any other sense than as a
medicine, it is directly an evil of the
gravest character, both for example
and for direct effect; and if used as
medicine, 1t is not prohibited under
the constitutional provision to be
happily engrafted on our original law.
L think the proposition already
proven, that it is a Democratic mea-
sure / am not to be met with the
taunt that anti-Democratic States have
led off in this Democratic measure,
because every now and then they
make Democratic moves. 1t would
be strange if a party without prin-
ciples did not sometimes do some
things which are right, through pol
icy. Our party has so long been a
slandered party that some of us some
times think we are vulgar set, and
even some of our Democratic poll
ticians prostitute themselves to the
assent, that Democrats are so liberty
loving as to sanction the oppression
of the sober by the drunken, and the
helpless by the arm of power. But,
such are merely the venal and the I'M
principlcd. 1t is too absurd, with the
light of statistical facts and daily OBJ
servation, to pirate about the odium of
passing sumptuary laws. The odium
of the British sumptuary laws, way
back in the remote past, is not COM
parable with just restraints upon the
vicious and the lawless, who infest the
debasing haunts of vice.
Every sober man will thank our
Legislators for giving us prohibition.
Jefferson county will teach her repre-
sentatives, if ever the opportunity
again offers, for their votes against
the rights of the sober. The idea of
a State, democratic State, to collect
revenue from people who levy pesti-
lance and famine on the community.
A State to license, for pay, A, B and c
to destroy ID, E and f and their
helpless families, is monstrous. As
well might the government of State
license persons to scatter in public
places, the garments andbedding from
smallpox hospitals or yellow fever in
firmaries, on the plea that the State
needs revenue. The State might col
lect considerable revenue by licens-
ing gambling rooms or designation
houses. Why do those revenue
eNpedients not pray the Legislature
to license such, if the collection If
revenue is all the consideration ne
cessary to an cNpedicnt. If the moral
sense is to be outraged, then L can see
no need of the delicate choice of
means in procuring revenues. The
Wheeling Representatives, with Pen
dlcton and Jefferson, seem conspic-
uous on the Fermentation side of the
question. If Wheeling should have
to shut up her liquor shops, it is al
legged that the adjoining county.in the
State of Ohio would liquor her drink
ing population. Well, what of it
what if they would all move into Ohio.
who would be the gamer? Wheeling,
in my estimation, would be.

Tariff Reform.

From time to time the Republican

surplus revenue Notwithstanding
these denials, an examination of the
report of the Secretary of the Trea-
sury viii demonstrate that he estf-
mates the annual surplus revenue at
S145. 900, 600 This sum is nearly
double the whole ordinary expenses
OF the Government during the last
Democratic administration. That is
to say, the people are being taxed to
accumulate in the Treasury an over
plus of revenue, or corruption fund.
