The New Insane Asylum.
Ledger,

Ledger.
Monday last was the day appointed
by the Territorial Legislature for the
meeting of the new Board of Trustees
and Building Commissioner Of Fort
Steilacoom insane asylum, and &C
cording to the requirements at the
law, Messrs. A. +. Tullis, w. II.
Humphrey, and George D. Shannon,
the trustees of the institution, met
at the fort and organized themselves
into u new boaid, eleciing MIR. Tullis
as president aud MIR. Pumphrey a.
secretary. The plans of the new
building were adopted, after the
style and architecture OF the Oregon
State Asylum, ut Salem.
Ii Was expected that numerous
bids would BIZ received for the con-
tract Of the plans aud specifica ions
Of the building, but only one bid
was received, and more of propo-
sition, rather, from a Mr.. Bootnby,
from Oregon, who was to furnish
them for the some of 81 200. Ii
Was then decided by vote OF Messrs.
SHANNON and Pumphrey, majority
oi the Board, that VIM. 4. Dooue OF
Seattle, be selected as the architect
10 furnish plans, specifications aud
details at sum not to exceed the
sum of 81. 200.
The Board has not decided wheth-
er they will purchase the bricks in
the city or whether they will have
them made upon the ground, as
there is good clay within two hun
bred yards of the building, and the
brick can be made at quite low
figure, and at u less cost for which
they can be purchased elsewhere.
The President called meeting
which will be held on Saturday, at
which time final conclusion will be
reached, as to whether the brick
will be made at the fort or be bought
and delivered from the city. Tho
Board was in session froiu half-past
eight in the morning until five CLOCK
in the afternoon, the greatest part of
the day being occupied in business
pertaining to the )ast year.
Before Adjournment all business
for the year ending February LIST,
was closed and settled, and the
Board adjourned till their next reg
uar meeting day, on April 3D., ut
which time some action will be taken.
toward the advertising for the bids
to contractors, if the architect h
his plans and specifications CON-
pleted by that time.
The Ncrs in commenting on this
subject says: The exact location of
the building is not yet determined
upon. The Commissioners are ne
gotiating for the purchase of about
$50 acres OF land, lying toward the
Sound from the present site Of Fort
Steilacoom. If they buy this prop
erty, they will locate nearer the water
than where the buildings now are,
as it is better site and drainage
would be improved by having the
asylum there. Ii this purchase is
not made, they will build on the spot
now occupied by the asylum build
ings.
Mr.. Shannon informs the STANDARD
that Mr.. Boone has agreed to pre-
pare the plans for 81, 1000.

attention and praise of the country His
management of the finances of the govern
ment has been in accordance with the prece-
dents of the able Republican secretaries who
preceded him; it has been conservative and
successful. Perhaps he is entitled to more
credit because he has done all this in direct
opposition to the wishes of large, perhaps
the larger faction of his party The loss of
such man to the administration will be a
STAGGERING blow.

Just as Sedgwick returns from his ram

a letter declaring that 1.-THE time is not far
distant when 10000 well-aImed and equipped
Americans will enter Mexico and right our
wrongs at the point of the bayonet." The

calm, and tells his Congress that no trouble

The Socialists Of New York appear to b.
getting along very happily. Sunday they
held picnic in honor of three Socialists
who have recently arrived from Europe.
There was an abundance of music and beer
and enthusiasm. and as many as five thou
sand people, mostly Germans, drank the
beer, listened to the singing and applauded
Justify, while the speakers told OF the future
Cooperative Commonwealth, and the Social
ist State instead of the Capitalist State. But
it is worthy of note that none of the
lawless practices Of the Anarchists were
advocated The speakers presented the less
radical doctrines of the Social Democrats of
England and Germany.

The American fishermen have been having
some unpleasant experiences with the Cana
dian cruisers, but it Is encouraging to notice
one case at least in which Providence was
clearly on the side Of the Yankees. Last
week two fishermen put into North Sidney,
Cape Breton. They had caught nothing
and were very much discouraged. Their
sorrows were not lessened any when, after a
few hours, they were ordered to get outside
the three-mile limit, on pain of being seized.
They obeyed the order sadly; but just at the
entrance Of the harbor they fell in with a
school of mackerel, from which they seined
about a hundred and fifty barrels. The fish
ermen then no doubt concluded that whatev-
or is, is right.

While the Queen and heir apparent live
the Spanish government is too strong to be
overturned by mutiny But the political
equilibrium of the nation depends on two
very uncertain lives. The Queen is said to
be already afflicted with consumption and
the life Of posthumous child, born of con-
sumptive parents, is not so certain as to
quiet the intrigues Of aspiring partisans.

Congressman Grout, a Vermont Republi-
can, writes to friend in Washington: ''It
the vote in Vermont and Reeds majority in
Maine are any guide for the rest Of the coun-
try, we will easily have the next House." If
the Republicans in every district will do as
they do in Mr. Reeds district, put up their
best man and then work for him, there is no
reason why the Republicans should not con-
trel the next House. The performances of
Garland and Bayard and Whitney don't APP
pear any better in other States than they do
here, and the people are no better suited in
other places than here.

Mr. Sedgwick is credited with the inten-

his carousal in Mexico. But the Consul OF

responsible for the most damaging account
of the ENJOYS performances.

The magnitude of the Odd Fellows cele-
bration which comes off in Boston this week
may be realized from the efforts which the
western railroads are putting forth to move
the visitors on their way east, Between Chi
cago and Boston, which are connected by
1--WE railroads, the right of way was given up
for the whole distance. On Saturday nine
trains left Chicago at intervals of about an
hour. Three more trains were to come Sun
day. In all a hundred passenger cars OF

The people of Washington are now fight
ing ever again, the old battle that has ragged
in so many cities between the people and the
gas makers. A committee of the Senate
found last winter that the Gas Light Com
pany Of Washington was paying dividends
of ten per cent. on a nominal capital of two
million dollars, but real capital Of only
about half a million. They found this out
only after great deal of trouble; for the
company destroyed part of their books, and
in other ways stroye to mislead the commit
tee. But report was finally made to the
Senate, recommending that the price of gas
be reduced from dollar and a half to a dol
lar per thousand. Congress took no action /;
but fearing that it may do so next winter the
corporation have reduced their price to dol
lar and quarter a thousand. They hope
that this will satisfy the people of Washing
ton and cause Congress to forget all about
the matter. But if the citizens of Washing
ton are wise they will have Congress settle
it. The example of New York shows that
because city is large it is no sign that it can
get the best of gas company without out
side aid,

There seems to be little prospect that DAN
iel Manning will ever resume his duties as
the head of the Treasury Department. His
trouble is not one from which men of his
physical condition usually succeed in recov
ering their old health and powers. His mind
is said to be as clear as ever, but in his
movements he shows plainly the effects of
paralysis. Whether Mr.. Manning is or is
not to be sent to represent the United States
at Vienna is not matter of great interest.
The post is unimportant, and Mr.. Manning
would accept it merely that he might serve
the administration in place where his
powers would not be oyer-taxed But it is a
matter of great concern to know who would
take his place in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet in
such an event OF all the cabinet officers,
Mr.. Manning alone has conducted his depart
