gone on much as II did under his
immediate Republican predecessor.
Signs of the cataclysm confidently
looked for by the Bourbon Repub-
licans arc not perceptible even TO
the eye of faith. Neither, on the
other hand, are there visible any
signs of the millennium which, accord
ing to Democratic sccrs, was to be
inaugurated Immediately upon the
seating of q President of the ancient
creed. State sovereignty, strict
construction and Jeffersonian sim
plicity, where are they?
Mr.. Cleveland, during the short
time he has been in office, has shown
himself to be strong enough to hold
back the wild mob of placehunters.
1t remains to be seen whether he has
the breadth of intellect to grasp the
much larger matters which the as
sembling of Congress will bring to
the fore-questions of financial and
commercial policy. But whether he
succeeds or fails in this wider field,
he has inspired general belief in
his honesty of purpose, and that Is a
great thing. His brief incumbency,
moreover, has taught the lesson
which was much needed in some
quarters-that this nation is safe,
no matter what party may hold the
reins of power. The people are the
government, and parties are but
their political working tools, to be
used, mended or cast aside, as occa-
sion may require.-S. II. Post,

TWO MONTHS OF CLEVELAND,

Two months ago to-day Mr..
Cleveland became President. Two
months is not very long time, but
it has been long enough to enable
the new chief magistrate to give the
country ground upon which to base
u judgment of his character. He
has distinguished himself more by
what he has abstained from doing
than by what he has done; yet it is
apparent that he is far from being
q negative man. There is now no.
body to accuse him of want of
strength of mind. There were
many who did so during the canvass
and up to his Inauguration. Mr..
Cleveland is surprise-a very dis
agreeable one to one class of people,
and an agreeable one to all the rest
of the population. Only the
citizens who till the field of
politics for the sake of the har-
vest of offices, have been seriously
disappointed in the President. There
are, of course, many old gentlemen
who, while seeking no offices for
themselves, yet deem tile course of
nature interfercd with because every
Republican official has not lost his
place, now that a Democratic Presi-
dent has at last been installed.
These Bourbon worthless, who laid
in their stock of ideas before the
war, and have added but little to
the collection since, have had their
political morals corrupted by the
evil example set by the opposition
party. They were more bewildered
than surprised, however, and when
usage loosens the stiff joints of their
aged intellects they can be trusted
to swear by Cleveland, no matter
what he may do. The Republican
Bourbons are even more confused
and troubled. For twenty years they
had been prophesying and beliey-
ing that the return of the Democ-
racy to power would at once result
in massacres of the negroes in the
South, the repeal of the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution, the payment of
the Confederate debt, free trade, fiat
money and general wreck of the
republic. Mr.. Cleveland, they find
and not altogether TO their gratif-
cation-is not fulfiller of prophesy

Washington, the government has

General Mcdowell, whose death
was noted yesterday, is said to have
been a man of unusually strong will
though of high temper. Army
officers say he never committed an
unjust act to one of his subordi-
mates; and, while in the army, he
remitted 1000 years of imprison-
ment unjustly imposed by young
officers upon enlisted men. He is
credited with the honor of being the
first to systematic army prison
labor, utilizing the lprisoners to i'm
prove and beautify different posts in
San Francisco. He had been offered
the command of the Union Army at
the breaking out of the war, but
declined, thinking himself too young
to be placed in such a high position.

MORE JAPANESE.

Semi-oilicially the Aduertiser an
nounces that Mr.. Irwin, Hawaiian
Consul-General IN Japan, ''eXpects
to despatch 500 men and 100 women
from Japan for Honolulu on May
26th; also, 600 men and 100 women
in June, and 500 men and 100 wo-
men next July. The children ac-
companying each detachment will
be about ID percent" Mr.. Irwin
may come with the detachment to
start in May. 1t is pleasant to make
note of the fact that Mr.. Irwin has
commended himself to the very
high opinion of the Japanese au-
thorities and press. His exertions,
upon behalf of the industrial inter-
ests of this country, cannot but be
duly appreciated here.
1t is a matter for regret that the
proportion of women, in the pro-
missed instalments of japanese immi-
grafton, is smaller than in the lot
that has arrived. Counting boys
and girls, the percentage of females
to males, in the steamship load that
came in February, was nearly
twenty-ninc. In the importations
of May-July, inclusive, the figures
show a female percentage of but
eighteen. 1t is an impression upon
us that an effort was to have been
made to increase the proportion OF
women above that of the first lot.
If such was promised, as we have a
shadowy rem embrance of being the
case, it is to be presumed that Mr..
Irwin found insurmountable difficult
ties in the way of having the desir-
able object effected. One of the
most recognized evils of the Chinese
immigration to this country has been
the abnormal proportion of men in
the hordes annually landing on our
shores. This disparity of numbers
between the sexes is menace to
the social order of the nation, and
to the existence of the Hawaiian
race. Perhaps the evil can never
be checEsd while the two things OF
immigratJ0n for labor and immigra-
ton for population are attempted to
be managed as Gas. There is q
powerful ss1,5i,m&at abroad that the
two oH.sGas ar. very distinct, and

OF the one hundred patients whose
previous history as regards the use
of alcohol was not obtained, it is
probable that a large proportion
were addicted TO it habitually. In
some instances evidence to that
effect was obtained on examination
post morten. and there is the further
fact that the percentage of deaths
was about the same as the average
of the one hundred and fifty-two
cases tabulated above, viz, fifty
three per cent. 1t will be seen
from the above table, extending over
period of nearly eight years and
embracing sufficient number OF
cases to afford fair basis for
general conclusions, that the death
rate among the strictly temperate
was only one-half the general aver
age, and only about thirty-seven per-
cent OF that shown by the habitually
Incorporate.

On With the Capitol.

The views Of Swain, Templeton
and Walsh, a majority of the Capitol
Board, us indicated in an article on
our first page, appear to us conclu-
sive in favor of going ahead with tho
capitol as proposed by the contract
ors. The article shows that there has
been q great deal Of misunderstand-
ing as TO what they did and did not
contract to do, and that they were
not really proposing to go outside OF
the essential points of the contract
The opposition to what they propose
seems to us to be actuated by mere
sentiment, which is very absurd in
matter of business Of SO vast impor-
lance to the state. What Texas wants
is a substantial compliance with the
contract, in the shape of a frst-class
building; as to where the material
comes from is of infinitely less impor-
tance. The state of Georgia, we are
told is blest with all manner of fine
stone, yet she has seen fit to contract
to have her new capitol built of Indi-
ana limestone. This is certainly n
demonstration of its superior merits.
Should the contractors of the Texas
capitol be given q reason, or plausible
pretext, for the abandonment of the
work, so that it shall be thrown back
upon the state, it will be found to be
an elephant of the hugest proportions
and the most crushing character on
the taxpayers of the state. The do
votion to q sentiment, in producing
such result, would then be a sub
iect of execration rather than ap-
plause on the part of the people Let
us have no more poetry and senti-
ment about Texas stone, but let the
contractors proceed with their work,
unless they make some more substan-
tial departure from the letter and
spirit of their contract than they have
as yet done.

The State Lllnatic Asylum ut Austin..'
Outline of its History and
Present Status.

Having recently made hasty visit
to the older branch of the State Pen
itentiary at Huntsville, and briefly re-
ported tho same for our columns, we
propose doing like service with re-
spect to another state institution
the Lunatic Asylum, at Austin
which we visited on Friday of last
week.
Going over on the morning train,
we were conveyed from the depot to
the institution. En- route, we had
occasion to notice considerable i'm
provements in Austin in that direc-
ton. We saw for the first time the
one wing of the University building
which is completed; the rest has not
been commenced. We passed the
handsome residence of the late Ben
Thompson, which we notice by the
papers is offered for sale. Also the
elegant mansion of Col. Driskill, the
cattle capitalist. BY the way, during
this visit we also saw the foundation
of Driskills new hotel building. 1t
occupies an entire block-the second
on the left-hand as you enter East Pc
can street. 1t will, no doubt, be a
grand affair, and is q commendable
enterprise, characteristic of public
spirited citizen. Would there were
more such among our men of wealth.
The Asylum, we were told, is just
opposite the Fair Grounds, and some
two-and a-half miles from the city.
One would think that two points of
SO much interest, with the interven-
ing distance rapidly settling up,
would warrant the extension of the
street-cars thus far; but as yet they
only extend short distance beyond
the University. Some Col. Driskill
would do himself credit, and probably
make it pay, by leading off in this
enterprise.
Some time before reaching the
Asylum buildings, you enter the large
and beautiful wooded park i'll which
they are situated, one fact in regard
to which made it peculiarly interest
ing to us, viz: its being set with
grass In the Northen states, and al
so, we presume, in the Southern states
of the Mississippi valley, every vacant
space-the grounds about dwellings,,
the commons in towns, the open
woodlapds--is green with grass and
Texas shows to great disadvantage IT
this respect Hence We were delight
cd with this grassy park, tho first we
had seen in the state The grass, we
were told, is mixture of Bermuda
and lawn grass, and shows what might
be done down this way.
The site of the Asylum buildings.
aud the various views therefrOm, are
very beautiful. Our visit was the
more interesting because We we're

ST. LOUIS, july III, 1000.
ED. FREE PRESS: - The weather
here is intensely hot. The courts are
closing for the summer, and lawyers
are clearing their dockets for rest and
vacation. Many of our citizens are
packing their "duds" for the many
resorts. Gen. Beauregard was in the
city this week. Your correspondent
had a pleasant chat over glass of
lemonade with the old warrior at
Urig's Cave, on Monday evening.
Urig's Cave is q fashionable summer
garden where the popular operas OF
the day are produced ofnights.
The steamboat-excursion craze is at
white heat here now. From four to
six large boats leave the city wharf
every afternoon, crowded with the
youth of the city. The sporting fra
ternity is largely represented, and ev-
cry excess that wine and beer, music,
dancing and roller skating con pro-
duce, is INDUCED in by both sexes, il
respective of social distinction or pre-
tensions. Every boat has rink and
bar on board. The steamer is never
allowed to return to port till the last
key of beer is emptied, and every ex-
cursionist is correspondingly full.
The city is dull. The theatres are
closed, and so are the fashionable
churches, and business languishes.

that their purchases will be forfeited
unless the interest is paid before Aug,

place of the latter-McGregor, N. Y
When Gen. Buckner had greeted Mrs

and Buckner were fellow-cadets at
