DAKOTA INSANE STATISTICS.

The annual report of the North Da-
kota insane asylum, just issued, shows
the singular fact that out of $50 patients
received the past year, 122 were of for
eign birth. OF course, this Is not
measure of the relative population of
native and alien born. A great major
ity of the people of that section are of
United States nativity. An eXplana-
ton of the excess of insane among the
immigrants is that the Dakota ozone is
too eXhilarating, and bewilders their
faculties. Many of the foreigners come
from much severer climate, and the
mildneSS of the United States weather
enervates and unbalances their minds.
An ESqimau lady relates that when
by some happy accident she came south
ward from her native land, she was
obliged to stop at Iceland for time 10

gradually, but when she got down into
a North Dakota winter the heat was al
most oppressive. There may be other
contributory causes to the excess of in
sanity among those of alien birth, but
this will hardly be questioned i'll Da-

Louis XIV. in His Dressing Room.

Nineteenth Century.
When the king left his bed, it was
ordained that the great chamberlain, or
the first gentleman. or the first lord in
waiting, or some other great dignity,
should put on his dressing gown, which
the first valet de chambre should hold.
When the king received his shirt, which
was always given by the first prince of
the blood, the first valet de chambre
assisted him in putting on the right
sleeve. while the groom of the stole
assisted him with the left.
When the king went to bed, the same
forms were observed. and it was of the
very highest importance that the first
valet de chambre should unfasten his
left garter, though we are not told
whose duty to was to perform that office
for the right one. The queen in this
respect was more fortunate than her
consOrt. as we are distinctly assured
she was allowed to unfasten her own
carriers.

In Bad Repute.
Ashland News.

asAldllQ NEWS.
The Minneapolis Tribune has begun
crusade against the Pioneer Press for what it
claims is big swindle. The Pioneer Press
has written up Tor DOWN good many of the
Northwestern towns, and made glowing and
'rose-colored promises of what it would do
toward booming at least 100 young cities.
If it had Kept its word the Pioneer Press
would consist each day of at least fifty pages;
but the fact is the Pioneer Press either bit off
more than ii could chew or it has deliberately
swindled the enterprising citizens of the
aforesaid cities and towns. Its write-up of
Ashland was largely rehash from the local
press, and it has by no means doomed the
town, although the local agent has worked
like beaver to make his paper popular and
to keep the city represented in its columns.
1t only requires man of moderate newspa-
per instinct to see that he has been handi-
capped by the paper that he represents. The
Pioneer Press is certainly in bad repute in
Ashland, though it yet has time to make
amends.

A JuDlCIAL NEED.

The only sensible move the anarchists
have ever made was the proceedings
they instituted last Saturday to obtain
from the Chicago courts an injunction
to prevent the police from interfering
with their meetings. We are not sure
that the courts ought to grant the i'll
junction, but it is absolutely essential
that there should be judicial deter
mination of what limitations, if any, are
to be placed about the freedom of speech
in this country, or what interference is
to be permitted where citizens assemble
in a peaceable manner. There are
those who have no sympathy with the
anarchists, that regretted to see such an
exercise of arbitrary power as the Chi
cago police officials eXerted in this mat
ter. 1t looks to be dangerous prece-
dent to establish. If the law officers
have a right to prevent the peaceable
assemblage of one class of citizens, they
would have the same right to pursue a
similar tyrannical course toward other
classes. If the holding of socialistic
views were made a crime by statute, or
if the law forbid the publication of an
archistic opinions, then the case would
be different, But as long as our laws
permit all American citizens to indulge
in all sorts of religious, social and
political vagaries. we fail to see
by what right the police power of the
government can be eXerted in the sup
preston of the vagaries. At all events
it would be wise for the Judiciary, now
that the opportunity is presented, to
consider the matter and to determine
where the lines are to be drawn in the
exercise of that provision of the Or
ganic law which guarantees the free
dom of speech to the citizen.
