The State of Michigan is building new
asylum for the insane in which the treatment
is to be homeopathic. The State of New
York, after fourteen years. experience with q
similar institution, has added a second in
stitution under the same care. And there is
bill before the legislature of Massachusetts,
which provides for such an asylum. Doubt
less the 'told school" will think that these
asJlums ought to be filled by hompo-
pathists.

THERE is bright side to everything. 1t
has been discovered that some good Is to be
derived even from the presence of Congress-
men in our midst.
The citizens of Washington can suffer and
complain for years about the defects of the
dog law, but when Congressman's sleep is
inteIiered with by a bowling canine the
dogs must 60.
The citizcns can worry and fret over tho
presence Of unsightly poles in front of their
doors and pray in vain for attention or re-
telegraph pole, and then the enormity of
the matter suddenly becomes known.
1t is q promising state Of affairs. The
opponents of the steam-railroads had better
present half dozen Senators with resi-
dences along the routes of the railroads.
The enemies Of overhead wires had better
arrange network of the Objectionable con.
ductors about the windows of the Arling-
ton and the Portland.
The friends of the new City Postofice
scheme had better pen up Congressional
committee among the sewer gases and
tumbling ceilings of the existing building.
The friends of the library scheme had
better put the House TO work hunting some
coveted volume in the present library.
A few little schemes Of this kind would
work admirably. They would awake a
degree of enthusiasm and interest that
would beat down all barriers.
1t would be little hard ON the Congress
men to keep them awake by barking dogs
and Growing cocks, to run over them with
locomotives, electrify them with overhead
wires, stop up their front doors with pole:
! and ruin their constitutions by detention
in decaying and tumble.down city build
ipgs, but even the loss of handful of Con
| gressmen would be small price II the ban
ishment of the chickens and dogs, the pro
lection Of the railroad tracks, removal O
the poles and the erection Of suitable struc
lures were secured.

THE sober old town of Alexandria, like
tho equally enterprising and aristocratic
legendary village Of Falling Water, has
been stirred up over tho temperance of o
Rip Van Wrinkle.
After an absence Of twenty-sevon years,
an erring son, who fed from tho paternal
roof, reappears to claim his portion In an
estate valued at moro than one hundred
thousand dollars.
Mr.. John I. Evans, ji, Is tho hero Of the
romance. After quarreling with his father
and running away, Evans followed sea-
faring life and subsequently, became ship
master in Japan. Returning to this coun-
try after his fathers death ho sought es-
tablish his identity, employed counsel and
returned to Alexandria yesterday to ind
himself recognized by some and demo ldced
by others of his relatives.
The return differs from Rip Van Win
kle's inasmuch as the wanderer does not
find his wife married to some other fellow.
He does not allow Washington Irving's
story to outdo him any, however, in this
respect. He asserts that he never was
married, but finds that lady claiming to
be his widow has appeared and demanded
her share of the estate.
Alexandria has not had 80 much excite
ment for 10 these many summers.

THERE is no need Of Washington dealers
and storekeepers fearing dull Christmas.
They can avoid it easily enough. All thoy
have got to do is to come forward and ad-
vertise what they have to sell. Tho very
confidence and life they display will prove
contagious, I'D buyers will compete in the
race to secure bargains as energetically as
the sellers can possibly compete in making
sales

CHRISTMAS clubs are springing into ex-
istonce all over the city. Tho well-care
for little ones arc going to SEQ to it that the
less fortunate children are to have at least
one day of feasting and merry making.
No charity can be nobler than that which
gives bliss and delight to the suffering, the
poor and tho friendless.
No better work eau bo done by little
hands than to carry the good tidings of
Christmas cheer to aching little hearts.

FOX hunt with snowy and aristo-
cratic start, in front of the Arlington, and
an interesting finish, wherever the tame
and broken.spirited fox gots tired, is one OF
tho brilliant events promised for tho near
future.
Washington has not been fox-hunting
centre of late, ana some interest will be
attracted and some notoriety achieved by
the fair women and brave men who dis
tinguish thapselves in the thrilling cpl
sodes of the chase.

THE idea Of making Inauguration day a

IT is right and proper that Saturday, Feb.
fuary 81, should be selected for the Wash
ipgton Monument dedication ceremonies
rather than the Sunday upon which Wash
ington's birthday anniversary will fall.
The point was rightly made when the
matter came up in tho Senate that while
no day can be too sacred for q heartfelt and
patriotic tribute of gratitude to the Father
of His Country, tho religious feeling and
sentiment of the country should not bo de-
fled by a military and noisy demonstration
upon the day of rest and worship.
The most earnest opponent of Sunday
observance can find no excuse for ruthlessly
breaking the peace and quiet which other:
love and delight in ON that blessed day
and no argument can be advanced for eel
ebration of such a character on day wher
go large portion of tho people would ro
frain from participation upon conscientious
grounds.

AN esteemed morning neghbor plain
didn't support Blaine during the late u/
pleasantncss. 1t Is possible that our MO.
N. Is ignorant and is honestly seeking
information, but we doubt 1t aud we
doubt It for tho reason that the reasons
why Colonel Bob didn't do IL arc an open
secret known all over tho land.
Blaine was indebted to Ingcrsoll for mag
niflcent send off at the Cincinnati conven-
tion of 1876. 1t is not saying too much to
say that that presentation speech did more
to make Blaine than Blaine ever did for
himself.
When 1880 came round Bob naturally
expected to be requested to surpass his Of
fort of four years before, and was pre-
pared to do it. Instead of being so ro-
quested it was conveyed to him in a round
about way that Mr.. Blaine thought it
would not do for Colonel Bob to make o
second appearance in tho role of nominator
for fear it might lose the votes Of Moses
and Aaron, Peter and Paul and the rest of
the religious world.
Thereupon Colonel Bob gave utterance
to some characteristic sentences and has
not spoken for Blaine since.
The chief interest the world has in this
pretty quarrel, If quarrel it isis the fact
that Colonel Bob did not get TO make q
second speech of presentation. 1t can
safely be averred that number two would
have surpassed number one, which is the
finest bit of oratory in the English Ian
guagc, ana thus the world isa loser through
Blaines cowardice.

Tho ingenuity with which it contrlved
to keep up appearances while il remained
at homo until after the Presidential elec-
tion was commendable, and now the &C.
tivity which it displays in getting back in
time for the New Orleans Exposition is
startling.
The commission is remarkable enough in
