THE PROPOSED INSANE HOSPITAL.
The County Commissioners Of the
four Southern Maryland counties have
taken measures looking to the estab-
lishment of Hospital at some CON
venient point in Southern Maryland
for The care Of insane paupers within
their limits. The proposition at first
blush appears to bocommendable and
If the taxpayers Of this section were
ii i situation 70 endure the addition.
ia drain upon their resources which
this proposition would involve, and ifI
there were no legal complications sur
roaadsag- the proposed action Of the
Commissioner, we believe we should
give it our approval, As il is, 1t is
doubtful whether il would cheaper
our insane pauper expenses, though it
must BE- admitted that it would keep
the money which we now expend for
this purpose at home, The maximum
amount We now pay for each insane
rauper that we support is $50 per
annnm. How much lower than this
could we support an insane pauper at
home institution and give him the
scientific and medical treatment and
attention he now receiyes2 Without
pretending to know. we venture to as
sert that we could not save enough TO
justify d change from the present mode
Of providing for our insane paupers,
leaving altogether out Of the calcula-
ton the cost Of buying the necessary
land and erecting the proper build.
ings for a hospital thereon. The I'M
fortunate objects of our bounty are
not only entitled to home at our ex-
pense but are also entitled to all that
modern science has discovered and ap,
piled TO the treatment Of mental dis
orders. These discoveries and conye-
niencies they now enjoy at the estab-
lshed hospitals in the State and GER
tainly would not possess in the same
perfection in any hospital which the
four lower counties are capable Of
erecting. II may be true, that the
hospitals we now patronize charge
more than they should, but we sub
NIT we had better for the present bear
the ills we have than fly to others we
know not Of Anew hospital ID South
ern Maryland implies u large addi-
ton TO the tSxsrate we are already
staggering under, and because 1t i'm
plies it, do we for the present set our
faces against il. There is legal as
pect to this proposition which has yet
TO be considered, and as our brother Of
the Times is much more familiar with
this branch Of the subject than our
selves. We shall make no excuse for
borrowing few extracts from an ar
ticle published in his last issue on this
subject:
I'VE do not think that, under the
existing constitution and laws Of the

powers Of the boards Of county COM

Women are capable OF heroic acts in

his vile, an American lady, arrived from

detained By the Custom House Inspector,
whom the Cuban assured would find
nothing dutiabls in the hand bag, he in
sisted upon examining. Alter rummaging
around he found a box containing ten
packages OF cigarettes. Then the inspector
was triumphant, for the law allows a sias.
senger 20 bring only one hundred cigarettes
FOR personal use free of duty. He was
about 10 pronounce sentence upon the
Cuban, when his wife stepped forward,
trembling with weakness, and said: "The
