COMING from Que of the most saga
cious and influential journals in the East,
the Springfield (Mass) Republican, which
is independent Democratic in politics.
the following is significant, and clearly
shows which way the wind blows:
"He Sherman is the only Western
man who would be really strong at the
East. In long and varied experience,
native ability .cleanness of record, sound
ness of principle upon the questions be-
fore the country and breadth of political
support Sherman is easily the first man
to-day in the Republican party. He is
the only Republican who would make
heavy inroads into Mr.. Cleveland's
friends among the business men of New
York City and at the East generally.
He was handicapped in 1880 by bis posi-
tien as Secretary of the Treasury and by
tbe factions of Ohio politics.

WHILE the election statistics of Bel
mont county, shows that politics has
been such an uncertain quantity as to
renderany prediction as to what may
occur in the future hazardous, yet it is
within the bounds of reason to remark,
that if Republicans avoid promising
Democratic candidates their support, land
stand together at the election in Novem'
ber. not a Democratic officeholder in Bel.
mont county will he left to tell the sto-
ry. If the Republicans do not make a
clean sweep it will be their own fault.

The Defective Classes.

1t was terrible record that DR.. Fred
Fl. Wines, special agent for the tenth
census, laid before Congress in his re-
port On the defective, dependent, and de-
linquent classes. From this report it
appeared that between the years 1870
and 1880 the number of insane persons
in the United States increased from 3d.
432 to 81 ,997, while the number of idiots
increased during the same period from
from 24,527 to 76,S95. In 1870 the num-
Der of luntatics to each million of popu-
Iation was 97l. In 1880 the proportion
had increased to 1884 to each million of
population. In the same period the pror
portion of idiots increased from G36 to
1,533 to each million of population. The
conclusion is inevitable that the Stats
tics of 1870 or 1880, or both, were defect
i've, or that through foreign immigra,
ton, which dumps thousands of luna
tics and idiots or our shores every year
the overcrowding of cities, and the traf.
lic in intoxicating liquors, the defective
classes are increasing in startling ra
ito. The probability is that the census
of 1870 did not fully show the number
of insane and idiotic persons. but il
could not have concealed a very large
proportion of them. The actual increase
must have been so per cent. at least
These fgures have often been printed,
but they cannot be too often the subject
