When we get down to its philosophy the
question is whether suicide is not in all
cases, the result of a diseased intellect, and
further, whether confirmed and uncon-
trollable taste for stimulants, such as alco-
holic liquors, morphine, opium, etc., is not
a malady rather than a vicious inclination
The State is multiplying its insane hospitals
or asylums-ought it not to provide an asy
lum for confirmed inebriates? Should this
work of mercy and benevolence be left to
private enterprise and mercenary gain?

MISS CRANDALL, of New Baltimore, N. Y, sued

In 1884 young Republicanism will step to
the front in Indiana, as it mas done in Ohio,
and its strength and power will be felt in the

ever before and will be to the party its right
arm, as the artillery is to the army. The

A GENUINE MAHoNEaAME,


Now, about this man Noon, have some
thing to Say. Senator JOHN F. Lewis him
self told this Noon was a candidate for
the position of delegate, 1 believe, to the
Coalition convention, and at the ReadjuS
ter meeting held to FL. ct delegates Sena-
tor Lewis was the chairman. Mr. Lewis.
when all the ballots We're IN found that
there were more ballots than there were
delegates in the room. He discovered that
good many bearing the name John A.
Noun'' were in the same hand WRITING. He
held up one and asked whose handwriting
it was and after some hesitation Noon
came forward and said that it was his
Handwriting. Then Mr.. Lewis asked if
any delegate had authorized Mr.. Mon to
write his ballot for him. and found that no
one had; so he said, MIR. Noon, You have
voted several ballots YOURSELF" and he
threw the ballots out.
Mr.. Lewis told me that himself, an d re-
marked further moon is great worker,
but great rascal.'' Senator Lewis then
went down to see Malone, and he promls-
ed Mr.. Lewis IN Richmond that he would
go right to Stanton and Waynesboro aud
make a thorough examination. Craig had
written to Malone that IS per cent. of the
penple were in favor of Kurtz, and Mr.
Lewis said: "Gen. Malone. that is lie."

aud Mayor J. A Patterson, saying they
would not be willing to trust Kurtz with
