New York Sun (Dem.): Yes, as we
have seen, there has been in Maine no
transfer of Republican ballots to the
Democratic side. On the other hand,
there has been an extraordinary Re-
publican gain at the expense OF the
Democracy. The drift Of the silent
vote, about which we hear 30 much,
has not been from the Republican can
didate to the Democratic. The move
ment is altogether away from Cleve-
land and toward Blaine. 1t Is very
striking fact,

All In the Line of Nature

There is nothing in the line of magic
popular medicine, Parker's Tonic. 1t
is simply the best and most scientific
combination possible of the essential
principles of those vegetable curatives
which act powerfully and directly on
the stomach, liver, kidneys and blood.
But there neither is, nor will be, any
successful imitation of it. 1t is all the
time curing those who had despaired
of ever getting well. For yourself,
your wife and children.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1873, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facturc of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over fire Aaadr,d are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son OF this increase is this: In the james
boss COL iTatcA Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the are
mainLer, which only lends strength to the
case, is OF stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and

FROM the st. Peter Tribune we clip
the annual report of the hospital for
the insane, which We here annex:

| the insane, Wnlcn We mere annex:
The trustees report covers IL period
of twenty months, from Dec. LIST, 1882,
to July LIST, 1884. The report shows Il
total of 743 patients in the First Hos
pital ut st. Peter on July 3lst--34 of
whom are men and $40 wOmen--an in
crease in the twenty months of l7O.
At the Second Hospital at Rochester
the total number of patients July 3lst
was 3S7-22.26 men and l6l women--in-
crease 100. Total increase at both hos
pitfalls in twenty month, $50.
These figures, says the report, at first
lead us to ask, Are we all going crazy"
but when we carefully examine the
| figures with the rapidly Increasing pop
ulation of our growing state, ever bear
ing i'll mind that we cannot increase
our population, to which the combined
energies of the state, cities, counties,
towns and railroads are at work, with
out having our proportionate increase
in criminals, paupers and insane, we
find they are not 80 startling as they
might be-"
The legislature of 1883 appropriated
$25 900 To erect Il detached building ca
pable of accommodating one hundred
male patients of the mild or dcmented
class. This building is now completed
and occupied, and proves so satisi;lc-
tory, both as matter of economy and
as atfording better quarters for Ger
tain class of patients, that the trustees
ask for an appropriation sufficient to
erect three more similar buildings in
st. Peter and two at Rochester. With
these they are confident they can COM
fortably care for the increase that may
reasonably be expected until the meet
ing of the Legislature in 1887.
The trustees ask for authority from
the legislature to dispose of the tempo
rary buildings and grounds within the
city limits in st. Peter.
They have long desired to do this,
but the increase has been so great that
they have never been able to accom-
plish it. Upon the completion of the
new wing of the Rochester building,
however, they hope to be able to trans
fer sufficient number of patients to
abandon these old quarters.
The trustees have purchased 270 acres
of land adjoining the hospital farm, at
a cost of 81 200, which is a valuable ac-
QUESTION.
When the west wing of the Rochester
hospital is completed six hundred pa
| IiCilto C<au NC CdECo lOf thCTS, ditiiOiiStl
five hundred to five hundred and fifty
is as large a number as are usually kept
in buildings that size. AS the original
building was built for an inebriate
asylum it was not properly arranged
for an insane hospital, especially as to
its being made fire proof, and ask to
have the inside remodeled and made
safe. 1t is estimated that this change
if done thoroughly and as it ought to
be, will cost $4,000.
APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED.
A carefully prepared estimate is Civ
en- of the amount necessary to meet ex-
penses from 1885 to 1887, as follows:

The following is from the pro-
ceedings Of the Chicago Conven
ton, in session last week:
Hon. w. G. Donnan, of Iowa, pre-
sented memorial and petition Of
the National Woman's Christian
Tenn perance Union. 1t bears the
signatures of the Presidents of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions in forty-eight STATES and
Territories, and reads as follows:
"To the National Convent5on of the
Republican purity:
We, members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union Of the
States herein represented by the
signatures of our officers, believe
that while the poison habits of the
nation can be largely restrained
by an appeal to the intellect
through argument, to the heart
through sympathy and to the con-
science through the motives of re-
hgion, the traffic in these poisons
will be best controlled by prohib-
tory law. We believe the teach
ings of science, experience and the
golden rule, combine to testify
against the traffic in alcoholic liz
uors as drink, and the homes of
America, which are the citadels of
patriotism, purity and happiness
have no enemy so reckless as the
American saloon. Therefore, as
citizens of the United States, ire
spective of sect or section, but hav-
ing deeply at heart the protection
of our homes, we do hereby re-
specially and earnestly petition
you to advocate and to adopt such
measures as are requisite to the
end that prohibition of the impor-
tatlon, manufacture and sale of al
coholic beverages may become an
integral part of the National Con-
stitution, and that your party can
didate shall be by character and
public pledge committed to a ma
tional prohibitory constitutional
amendment.
The petition was read and re-
ferred to the Committee on Rules.

Mrs. M. L. Wells and daughter,
Miss Nellie, arrived from Indiana
on Thursday and have been scat
tering good cheer and sunshine in
our humble home.
This is Saturday, and we want to
talk little about them before our
side of the FREEMAN goes to press,
and we want to begin with the con-
clusion Of the whole matter, by
saying; We have met and heard
our National President, Miss Will
lard and we want every West Vir-
ginia Temperance worker, who
can, to meet and hear her at our
Convention, next Tuesday eve
ming, June II.
And now we have met and heard
lndiana's President, Mrs. Wells,
and we want all who possibly can
to be present and hear her.
This evening our w. C. T. U.
will give our Indiana guests a re-
ception at the Baptist church, to
which all the Y. W. c. T. u, to-
gether with their honorary mem
bers have been invited.
And now as we are the busy

any lack of interest or variety be
noticed -four corner of this weeks
