s:Here the lawyer paused, and Mr.. Dudley
handed him q folded paper. He opened it
and again read on:
''One, two years passed, and Agnes
Armund and Oliver Dudley were beginning
to despair of over finding the girl, concluding
she must have died unheard Of, when, what
was Agnes surprise and delight, one day,
while driving in the park to suddenly meet
the long looked-for one, and not poor,
wretched or haggard, as her feverish fancy
had painted her, but blooming beautiful and
happy, and richly dressed and in company
with ladies of unmistakable wealth and high
standing.
Little moro is there to tell; you are all
familiar with the burning of the opera
house. Agnes Arnund and Oliver Dudley
were present and had just discovered the
person they sought when the alarm Of fire
was given. By mere accident they sue

for several moments over all. Surprise,

THE INSANE HOSPITAL SCANDAL.

A statement published this morning from
former inmate of the Insane Asylum at this
city presents startling picture of the cruelties
practiced within its walls The journal takes
no pleasure In thus making public a condition
of things which is a disgrace to the State and
a source of shame to every citizen, but where
such things exist it is far better to expose
than to conceal them. The person who makes
the statement is entirely trustworthy, and was
himself victim of the cruelties he describes
1t is safe to conclude that his case was not an
isolated one, and that similar cruelties were
startling in one respect, in another it is not. It
reveals a state Of things that will make honest
mems blood Jingle, and make heart-sick those
who have relatives or friends in the asylum;
but it is no worse than many things already
brought to light in the management of the
asylum. The investigation by the House
committee last winter brought out many facts
just as bad. 1t was then proved beyond any
doubt that the management of the asylum was
degraded and corrupt; that the State was
pIunuereu anu us INSANE grossly AlSLSaIoO
in order to put money into the pockets of a
corrupt ring of dirty politicians and that
many things were done which would not bear
the light of day. The statement published
this morning is simply cumulative evidence
on the same line though the facts related are
of more recent occurrence. They furnish ad
ditional proof of the utter unftness of the
notorious DR.. Harrison for the position be
cupies as president of the joint board of
trustees and of the complete degradation of
the insane asylum management. Under his
policy as Democratic partisan of the worst
school the asylum has been run as d political
machine in his own interest and that of the
corrupt ring that has been managing things.
Such a system and such policy could only
beget rottenness, corruption and cruelty.
These facts and the boards unftness were
practically admitted by Governor Gray's at
tempted removal of Harrison and Gapen from
the board, but in defiance of public opinion
and public decency they still hold on. One
of the States greatest benefactiops is shame
fully prostituted and its unfortunate insane are
cruelty abused in order that these partisan
leeches may continue to draw their salaries
and the corrupt local ring, of which they are
part, be enabled to prolong its power.

THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT.

There is trouble brewing in the Democratic
there has been no lack of trouble for a good
while. There is no longer any doubt that ex-
Senator Mcdonald is bitterly opposed to Gov
errors Gray's candidacy for Vice-president,
and that he is getting ready to make public
his opposition and the grounds thereof. Sem
ator Voorhees, will side with Mcdonald in
this matter, and between them they will rally
a large following. The contest may take the
form of the young Democracy versus the old.
Governor Gray is credited with having gained
a strong hold the young Democracy,
though Why it should be no one can tell un-
less it is that be is pretty young Democrat
himself. Ex-senator Mcdonald fifty repre-
sents the old guard of Democracy in this
State. He was a Democrat IN good standing
before the war, and though he lost caste with
the party to some extent by his open
and avowed loyalty during the war he
has fully recovered his position as a party
leader of the old school. Senator Voorhees,,
though not the man that Mcdonald is in any
respect, is still lifelong Democrat. It is
natural that these men and other Democrats
of their class should rebel against the leader
ship Of Governor Gray. He is comparatively
new recruit in the Democratic party, having
gone over from the Republican in 1872 He
has never borne any of the heat and burden
of the day, as the old-liners have, and his
rewards have been out of all proportion to his
party services. He is neither brilliant nor
a strong man, nor in any way well equipped
for public life. He is simply a political
schemer and untiring worker for Isaac p. Gray.
His nomination for Governor was bitter
dose to the old-liners, and his rapid advance
ment in leadership has been thorn in their
sides His candidacy fer Vice-president
is gall and wormwood TO them. Ex-
Senator Mcdonald is not q hasty
nor impetuous man. On the contrary,
he is conservative, deliberate and slow to
anger. He has been getting madden
and madden for a long time, until he is
about as mad as he can be. When he author
ICES public statement that he is opposed to
Governor Gray's candidacy, and at the proper
time will give his reasons therefor, it means
something. Mr. Mcdonald will not do any
thing dishonorable nor undignifed. He will
not strike below the belt, but when he does
lead out he will strike to hurt. Senator Voor-
hees viii join in the attack. Gray is con-
slant menace to his political future. Most of
the Indiana Democrats now in Washington,
headed by that shrewd and popular worker.
Col. Dick Bright, viii aid in the attack. Thus
there is every reason TO expect that the decla-
ration Of war by Dir. Mcdonald viii be the

THREE times the employees of the Insane
Asylum have been "looted" in the name of
the Democratic party and in the sacred inter-
ests of reform" There have been three
assessments or contributions taken up, one of
which was for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the suit against Harrison and
Gapen, and the last time for the benefit of
the Coy fund Mrs. Talbot, the matron of the

STRIKES AND BoY0oTTs.

The word strike" as applied to labor move
ments is of comparatively recent origin, and
is not of American growth. The word, like
the thing ITSELF is of foreign origin. It has
only in late years found place in the diction-
aries, and is still marked recent" or ''mod-
ern." Words often grow out of circumstances
or conditions, and in country or state of
society where labor troubles are unknown
there is no use for word to designate them.
Judge Dundy, of Omaha has recently done a
public service by attempting an exact deini-
ton of the word strike" ard drawing
are strikes and strikes. Without reference to
their origin or the reasonableness of the de-
mand on which they based, it is evident
that broad distinction must be made between
the strike that simply asserts the rights of the
strikers and one that interferes with the
rights of others. The first is simple strike.
while the other is boycott. This was the
distinction made by Judge Dundy, and
the time is not far distant when
it will be made by all courts and
enforced by legislation. It must
be done if individual rights and personal lib
erty are to be preserved. We have said new
words sometimes grow out of new conditions
New conditions also create a necessity for
new laws or the wider Interpretation and APP
plication of old ones. AS long as strikes were
unknown there was no necessity of legislating
on the subject. The modern strike, with its
twin brother and ally, the boycott, has created
corporations was hardly known a separate
branch of jurisprudence; now it constitutes
great field by itself. The growth of corpora
tions and the changes of modern society have
developed it. So strikes and boycotts, with
their inherent tendency to violence. will
create a new branch of law and compel the
erection of new barriers for the protection of
private rights. For it is fundamental prin-
ciple of law that every person may only assert
his own rights so as not to interfere with
those of others. This is at the foundation of
private rights and of justice. A strike that
attempts to assert or enforce the rights of the
strikers by injuring or interfering with those
Of others is plain violation of this funda-
mental principle. It is strike at law, at
justice, at individual rights and at the foun-
dations of society. This principle must be
recognized and enforced by legislatures and
courts. The boycott must be put down with
a strong hand. and strikers, in asserting their
own rights, must not be permitted to inter-
fere with those of others. Anything less
than that would be a state of warfare and
lapse into barbarism. VI
