MS Twenty years ago the number of insane
persons in the United States only "a, 042. IN
1870 it reached 37,432, and in 1880 treatment was
required for 81 $50 lunatics From 1870 to 1880
the increase in insanity was nearly $50 per cent,
while that of the total population was about 26.
These figures do not, however, represent actual
increase, but during this period large number of
insane persons previously concealed were brought
to public notice by more thorough investigation.
In America, apart from several large county
asylums, there eighty State and forty private
institutions for the care of the insane, with
proper capacity for about 10000, but containing
1912, thus leaving probably $4,000 to be cared
for elsewhere. The proportion of insane is great
est in New England, while the increase has been
most rapid in the Western States. In the State
of New York there thirty five institutions for
the care of these unfortunate people, accommoda-
ting II 343 PATIENTS while it is said that there are
1000 provided for at home.

II seems that the sorghum seed dis
tributed by the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington for this years planting was
about all worthless. Numerous COM
plants relative to the seed having been
received at the bureau, an investigation
was ordered and the discovery made that
only about 10 per cent. Of the seed would
grow.
This sorghum seed was part of the stock
Of seeds, doubtless, which was purchased
by Gen. LOring just before he was asked
to retire from the cOmmissionership. Soon
after the present Commissioner took
charge OF the Agricultural Bureau it was
announced that all the funds belonging to
it had been expended, and that many
thousands of dollars had been paid for
seeds for which there was no demand.
1t was even SAID that the money had been
expended without the authority OF law,
and that Gen Loring would be required
to refund at least a portion of the mis-
applied funds.
Gen. Loring was quite severely critl-
cised for spending 80 much moro money
for seeds than he had any authority to
spend, and he may expect much more
severe criticism for wasting money for
seed which was worthless.
AS facts continue to come to light it be-
comes more apparent that Gen. Loring
Notwithstanding his social qualifications
and his charming entertainments during
the Washington season. was about as un-
fit for the position of Commissioner OF
Agriculture as 1t was possible for mar
TO be. The present Commissioner is q

A recent article in the New York
ENTERPRISE, which is owned and edited by
negroes, gives the race some very good
advice, although its charges against the
whites are wholly false. IL says: "The
colored people should bear in mind that
one mistake upon their part goes long
way with the white people. Whenever
they are accorded their rights and priyi-
leges they should not abuse them, be-
cause the whites are thoroughly prelu-
diced and will not retreat one single inch
unless the law or their conscience COM
pels them 10. The great fault with us is.
we are too over-anXious; we should ac-
cept what is conceded 10 Us In more
modest and dignided manner. This will
not compromise us in the least, because
If we wish TO enjoy a privilege given us
and we are not properly equipped to
make ourselves acceptable, we should not
force our way 70 its enjoyment" The
large majority Of the colored people seem
20 have determined 10 follow this advice
long before IL WAS given. There are a
few, however, who make themselves
offensive occasionally.

! The report of the death Of the Mahdi is
| generally accepted as true. Evidences of
| its truth are not wanting. The only rea-
son for doubling 1t is that previous re-
ports proved to be false These were not
much more than rumors, however, and
were not supported by any evidence worth
! considering.
| The Nahdi had a great career. 1t ia
said that be was born at DOngola and
that he spent much Of his youth
at Berber and KhartOum. There is no
doubt that he was a carpenter. and
that he worked at his trade in Khartoum.
1t is not known at what time he became
dervish, and retired to cave on an
island in the White Nile south Of Khar-
tOum. lie won a great reputation for
piety IN that region. The attention
which ne excited by his piety frst sug
gested TO him the idea, perhaps, of pro-
claiming himself to be the long-expected
prophet. IL was in August, 1881, that he
assumed his new character. HIS fame
spread very rapidly. Being a man OF
marked character, and much more than
ordinary ability, and being aided by the
fact that he proclaimed himself the ex-
peeted prophet just at the beginning
of new Mohammedan CEN
fury, he had little difficulty
in getting followers. Being accepted as
the looked-for-prophet he was expected,
| of course, to conquer the world. The sue
cess with which he met in war tended to
confirm his claims, and to bring the
doubters to his standard. His victory at
Gadir, where he destroyed Yussif Pasba's
army, and at Obeid, where Hicks
/ Pasha's army was swept out of existence.
aroused a strong Mohammedan feeling,
and spread his fame throughout great
part Of the Mohammedan world.
When Gen. Wolseley undertook to re-
/ lieye KhartOum the Mahdi was prepared
to oppose him. How successfully he op.
posed him is well known. The fall Of
| Khartoum, the death of Gen. Gordon, the
/ failure of Gen. Wolseley to accomplish
| his object, and the disasters OF the Soudan
campaign are matters Of history.
The Mabdi was remarkable man, and
! he had a remarkable career. Even his
/ adherents now know, however, that he
was an impOster. They know that he did
not accomplish what they expected true
| prophet to accomplish, ana they cannot
point to a single thing that they can say
indicates that he was intrusted with 6
| divine mission.

Secretary Bayard does not meet with
much success in his efforts to secure the
release OF Julio r. santos from an Ecua-
dorian prison. The country is beginning
10 want to know what is meant by per-
hitting a little tenth-rate power like
Ecuador TO persist in doing an injury to q
citizen of the United States.
There doesn't seem to be any reason TO
doubt that Ecuador proposes TO treat the
demand OF Secretary Bayard, that Santos
shall be speedily tried or released, with
contempt Isn't it about time to show
her that she is presuming too much on the
inefficient condition OF our wooden navyf
/ is certainly time to show her that she
has triied with this government long
enough. IL John Roach had COM
piled with his contract, and the Dolphin
had been accepted, that vessel might have
been sent to Guayaquil to enforce the de-
mand for the release OF Santos instead of
the Iroquois. The Iroquos is a wooden
ship, and it seems the Ecuadorians haven't
much respect TOR wooden ships since they
have heard about the Gillian cruiser Es-
meralda.
There doesn't appear to be any compli-
Gated questions connected with the San
los case. Santos was born in Ecuador and
came TO this country IN 1865. He was
educated in Maryland and at the Univer-
sity of Virginia. He held a professOrship
in the university, which he resigned to ac-
cept more lucrative place in an Ala
bama college. He was naturalized in
1874, and about 1880 went back to Ecuador
TO settle up the estate of his father. Last
November, when about ready to return to
this country, he was arrested and thrown
into prison on the charge of having taken
part in a revolution. He Immediately
claimed that he was An American citizen
and asked the protection of this govern
ment.
He has been in prison nine months, and
the prospects for his release are not yet
very promising. Secretary Bayard re-
quested his trial or his release. No atten-
ticn was paid to the request, except that
the Ecuadorian authorities claimed that
Santos had been in Ecuador long enough
to lose mis- American citizenship. Santos
insists that he has had nothing to do with
any revolutionary movement, and that the
only object of his arrest and imprison-
ment is to extract money from him. He
says that he has been offered his liberty
for 5000
One war vessel has gone to Ecuador,
and If it is not sufficient TO compel the
release OF Santos our entire wooden navy
ought to be sent there. Our navy doesn't
| amount to much, it is true, but it is suf-
ficient to bring Ecuador to terms.

The Story Of Dives Explained.

of a recent series of discourses upon Lazarus
