HOMES FOR TIE INSANE,

There should be no backwardness on the
part of the friends OF the States afflicted
wards in urging the appropriations necessary
to the completion of the ssylums for the
insane now in course OF construction. In
many counties the jails and hospitals are
the abodes of the insane who have to be pro-
vided for at the public expense. While
these places are totally unfit for their habit
alton, affording neither the comforts nor treat
ment humanity demands for them, yet the
cost of caring for them is fully equal to what
it would be if in State asylum. So, then,
the early completion of the asylums will be
really public economy. But even we're
this not true it would be a solemn duty of
the State to use all possible expedition in
providing suitable asylum homes for all her
insane.
The question of ways and means for rails
ing the money to be applied to this purpose
may be one for discussion, but there should
be debate upon the proposition that this
money must be raised There is absolutely
no danger OF the people Disappearing
an appropriation they will not object to
the additional tax levy for providing it.
There are few in the State whose sympathies
have not been aroused by personal observa.
ton of or contact with some deranged per-
son. To every 5I6 OF population in Indiana
there is one per-on insane. The 5, 500 of
these unfortunates have IN kins-people
friends and humane sympathizers host in
the State to plead the justification of an al
lowance for the taking care of them. The
legislator who is instrumental in securing
the contamination of the proposed provi.
sion for the insane now outside the asylums
will merit the applause of every heart that
throbs with human compassion.

The race was an exciting one, the

The badge presented by the management is

that they ought not be allowed to

Why do we not keep an eye On
