ANNUAL REPORT
OF the Directors of the West Virginia
Hospital for the Insane.

OF the Directors of tho West Virginia
Hospital for the Insane.
The annualtreport of the Board of Direc-
tors Of the West Virginia Hospital for the
Insane is furnished the REGisrER BY the
State Printer. The document consists ofs
complete digest OF all the business Of thai
institution, and furnishes q vast amount Of
information. We quote: The Su
perintendent's report specially exhibits
all matters connected with the.
institution which is incumbent
upon him to report. 1t also shows grad
ual annual increase of patients, and as our
population increases the inevitable result
must be that the number Of our patients
must necessarily increase.
Our Hospital is now filed % its utmost
capacity. and yet there are ffty-fve patients
confined in jsils asking admission. In view
Of these facts the important inquiry suggests
itself, what shall be done with our insanity
Justice and common humanity will say that
they should have home, and should be
duly and tenderly cared for; and We believe
that the generous and intelligent sentiment
of our people will say that ample provision
shall be made for them at once. We hope
that the suggestions Of our superintendent
with regard to the enlargement of the build,
ings will receive the thoughtful eonsidera-
ton and favor Of the Legislature, and that
his mode or some other practical means be
adopted to secure the results desired.
In considering the imperative demands
for more hospital room, the idea Of new
hospital buildings in some other locality
being erected may be suggested, but IN our
Judgment the necessity does not as yet
exist.
We believe that much lsrger number Of
patients than We now have can be well
cared for and properly treated under the
present hospital administration, with eura.
tive agencies and comforts hitherto enjoyed
by others, by the additions suggested by
the Superintendent, or by some other means
perhaps equally practicable. 1t is believed
by some that 10 raise the buildings as sug-
gested by the Superintendent would be
lbe most economical. as the heat
ing apparatus and sewerage, gas
and all the other fixtures are ready
in the building. which would save the ex-
pense of putting them up. We have the
necessary conyeniences and appliances tor
fully providing for much larger number
than we now have at the hospital. Wehave
an efficient water system and an inexhaust-
ible supply of pure water. Our gas works
are equal TO any we know Of; spacious and
well arranged laundry, bakery and kitchen
appliances that can furnish much larger
supply of food without any additional ex:
pense in its arrangements Our farm and
garden are very productive and yield large
amount of the necessary eatsbles and lux.

THE result of the conference on Friday
between the glass masters and the employees,
proved futile and as consequence eight
glass houses have drawn their bars and
1890 work-people are out Of employment.
Our sister, city Of Bellaire is hit harder
than any other locality as FIVE Of the eight
factories, that form the combination, are lo-
Gated there.
Some people attempt to attribute this
condition Of things to the result of the cleo
ton 1t is the height Of folly to make such q
statement. Probably while national
election is pending trade is more or less
dull because people are paying
more attention to politics than
to business. After it is once
over it should have no efec. on
trade. Everybody knows trade has been
Quieter for the past eight months than hid
den.mouse in the vicinity of sharp cat. 1t IS
still quiet, and will be so until the supply is
run down. 1t is a strange theory to main
tain that in times of perfect peace the laws
ofsuPply and demand are to be thwarted by
the election Of either candidate to the Presi-
dency. 1t is wrong as well as unpatriotic to
preach such ideas. The REGISTER IS one
that believes shortness Of stock on hand
will soon make itself manifest, say by early
spring, and with the developing year busi-
ness will also develop in healthy way. 1t
will ramify itself through every department
of industry and trade with quickened
speed that is bound to bring better times.
Just now while the outlook is so discoursg-
ing to the glassEorkers and manufacturers
alike, let them remember the "darkest'cIoud
has its silver lining" and night is never
darker than on the eve ofdaSn.

Estimates.
The directors in.conclusion say: ave
would respectfully call the attention Of
Your Excellency and the Legislature to the
following estimates Of funds TO carry on the
the institution for the next two years:
For the year commencing April lst, 1885,
to April lst, 1856, we ask an appropriation
for Sg7 $50 90; and for the year 1886 and
1887, $97 $50 90.
We desire especially to impress upon your
mind the importance Of more hospital room.
There are now on file in the hospital City
five applications for admission Of patients
into the hospital, who are now confined in
the iails of the State, and who are refused
admission for want ofroom. Therefore we
recommend that the sum Of $50 900 be ap'
priated for the purpose Of enlarging the
institution, which sum is based upon the
estimate furnished by DR.. Andrews, the
original architect Of the institution"
