INSANE PERSONS.

There are about lao insane persons in
the State who cannot be cared for in the,
Asylums for the Insane. These unfOr-
tunate persons invoke our sympathy,
and humanity appeals loudly il their
favor, and asks that something be done
to ameliorate their unfortunate condition
and place them where they can have
proper care and receive that kind treat
ment that humanity dictates.
Some of them are confined in jaiIs,
others in the asylums for the poor, while
others are kept by individuals, but none
of them can have, and perhaps do not
get, the treatment and good care they
should have. 1t is, therefore, important
that the capacity of AsYlums should be
increased, so that proper care can be
melted out to this unfortunate class.

deem it important that the present
system of management of the funds and
securities of the Agricultural College
should be changed.
As the law stands, all the funds of the
Institution, including interest bearing
securities amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars, and constantly increas-
ing, are held by the Treasurer of the
Board of Regents, instead of the Treas
urer of State, as was the case prior to
1871. when they were under control OF
SLAC0 Objects. InlS StlIo OF Things Is eX-
ceptional. The endowment funds of the
State University are paid over directly
to the State Treasurer, and he, with other
officers, are directed to invest them, and
there can be no valid reason why this
same wise and prudent policy shoald

cultural College.
All public funds should be under the
