GAY Gerrymanderers.

The Republicans who own the legisla
ture at Harrisburg and who shape in pri
yate the DEGREES which it is expected to af
firm in public, are reported to be engaged
in profound study how to partition the
state in their apportionment schemes SO as
to cheat the Democrats out of theiI
rights.
Mr.. Chris Magee, who is supposed to
have the House end of the Legislature In
his breeches' pocket, is depended upon to
carve up the Western end of the state to
suit himself and his party friends and to
Senator Cooper who represents the Republi-
can state committee in the Senate, is as
signed the same cheerful task for Eastern
Pennsylvania. Between these statesmen
the work is expected to be SO complete as
to admit of the minimum of Democratic
representation in future congresses and
legislatures.
We trust they will proceed with their
work in the spirit in which they have begun
Experience has proved that the more a
gerrymander tries for the less it gets. The
greedy dog who grabbed at the shadow lost
his bone.
When Mr.. Magee tries to deprive
the 22,000 Democrats of Allegheny
county of single member of the
legislature, he takes the chances of
making several districts SO close that his
party may lose them all. The water gets
Unexpectedly high between the Allegheny
and MonOngahela sometimes The conn
pact, contiguous and homogeneous con-
greSsional district of Greene, Fayette and
Westmoreland is to be partitioned and its
separated parts are to be divided around
among three Republican districts, so as to
be all submerged in opposition majorties.
They may leayen their new associations
INTO three Democratic districts.
Vaulting ambition is apt to oyerleap
itself and gay gerrymanderers usually
come to grief at about the first fair trial
OF their experimental injustice.

A Peculiar Tendency.

The tendency of the times seems to be to-
ward the killing of crazypeople. Anumber
have been destroyed by fire lately in asy
lums in different parts of the country.
Eighteen were burned yesterday at Blockley
almshouse and two more were hanged in
PENNSYLVANIA one of the latter two had
killed his mistress on the streets Of Phila-
delphia in drunken fit and the other had
killed his wife in Altoona in frenzy. Afore-
time insanity was good defense. Now
a-days it does not avail much for men,
The law of Pennsylvania, it is true, re-
quires deliberate killing to entitle a man
to a ropes end and killing in a frenzy,
however caused. is not deliberate killing,
certainly. The idea may be that it is just
him as insane; and there is some
thing of substance in the idea.
If the insane prisoners in our asylums
are to be roasted, it may be humane
to hang them on any fair pretext. 1t may
be maintained that roasting is not fair
fate for the insane just as it may be held
that hanging is not. But il they are to
meet one fate or the other, it is not worth
while to bother much as to which is the
preferable one. About the only consola-
ton left to the humane in these days of
brutal hangings is the reflection inspired by
the numerous conflagrations of the insane,
that the earth is not for them any way, and
that their translation to another world is
written in the book of fate. The unsenti
mental statesman will probably congratu
late himself on the disposition thus permit
ted by the Almighty of our crazy folk, "a
it is deal the cheapest way to dispose OF
them. If we thought that there were softer
hearted people than these in our legislature
we would take the occasion offered by the
burning and hanging of the insane to sug.
gest that our insane asylums should be made
freproof and that our judges should be
taught that when the law says that mur
der shall be a cold booded killing it means
it. The latter suggestion we have hereto
fore often vainly made, and the forme
viii be as vainly offered.
Fireproof buildings are costly. The stat
has plenty of money for hospitals, but i
is mainly drawn out for begging institu
tions owned by private individuals. TIL,
money the state annually expends woult
provide it with nreproof buildings
all over it ; and it is certainly high tint
that system should be adopted which
would secure to every insane and helples,
citizen in the state decent maintenance,
during life and death not by fire. The
state has an agency to expend its moneys
in its board of charities. 1t should have
the control of every dollar appropriated fol
charity. 1t should have the selection
building and superintendent of the hospi
tails and asylums. 1t should have full
power with full responsibility.

His retirement makes him eligible to the

serious proceeding to get drunk. The
license should be graded according to the
number of drinks intended to be taken
during the time it is TO he run, so much
per tipple. With every drink taken the
license should be exhibited and punched
with the liquor sellers particular stamp {;
and everybody goes to Jail who takes a
drink unlicensed.
The young gentleman's crude idea may
perhaps be worked down into very fine
check for drunkards by experiment. He
suggests as a modification of it, that the
liquor vender be made accountable
for the handling of the bell punch,
which brings car conductors up now
with a round turn. Formerly the con-
ductors used to beat the punch, but we
saw, lately in course of manufac-
ture at Hartford. Connecticut, in Colt 5
armory, punch which is guaranteed to
put out of Joint the nose of the sharpcst
street car conductor. That is the kind for
the liquor seller. Let the liquor buyer buy
his ticket from the county treasurer. and
let the bell punch cut it whenever its
lisense is exhausted by the drink it author.
ICES its holder to take. Then let the tickets
and telltale punchings he returned daily to
the treasurer.
The legislature if it takes to the idea,
might submit it to the Philadelphia street
car railroad superintendents for their opn-
ion of its efficacy, and employ them to
teach the rural authorities how TO manage
the matter, if they advise that the tickets
and bell punches will put the liquor
dealers and drinkers in as tight place a
they do the car drivers and riders.
