Mortified, Aug. 5.-Thc annual pilgrimage Of Chris
tlan people from all over this country-and the world
for that matter-to this Mecca OF Biblical knowledge
and spiritual uplifting, began on the first day Of
this month and will continue for some days TO come
as this convocaton OF Christ workers has become
an established institution. IL is here that the ever
fresh and invgorating evangelist, Dwight l.. Moody,
IS seen at his best. This is the sixth annual con-
ference OF ministerial and lay workers, and the ndca-
lions are that It will be much larger than any Of its
predecessors. Every building Of the seminary IS
crowded, while the new hotel and village houses
taxed TO their utmost and stiil every train brings
others, with the tdings that more are on the ways
Among the missionary workers already here are tha
Rev. Edward Chester, NJ. D., who has spent twenty
eight years under the American Board In the MadurA

the remarkable Inland China mission; Reginald Rats

the brethren seem to dwell in delightful unity.
But matter who comes, the people Insist on Nm.
MoOdy's preaching, and they never tire OF hearing
him. for no matter how loaded he may be with outside
pressure, he is always bright, fresh and vigorous on

THE CARE or THE INSANE.

In the recently issued fifteenth annual re-
port Of the State Charities Aid Society Of New
York considerable space is given to a con-
sideration Of the important question of the
care and custody of the insane AS the result
of long series of exhaustive investigations
the Society is convinced that The State can do
far better by the pauper and INDECENT insane
than the counties Accordingly, last winter,
as our readers will remember, a bill embody-
ing the society's conclusions and drafted by
Theodore w. Dwight, one of its members, was
introduced in the Legislature. Although this
measure never got out Of committee in tho
Senate, and was reported in the Assembly
merely " for consideration" ii was opposed for
the most part solely on grounds Of exDediency.
The chief point made against it was not that
it was wrong in principle but that although
right in principle, its passage would work in
Justice to some of the counties that at present
take care of their own insane and would take
too much money from the pockets Of the tax
payers.
On the other hand the measure was strongly
indorsed. Most of the leading newspapers of
the State, the medical publications, the New
York State Medical Society and other repre-
sentative UlculCu DOulcS, INC Cldlc OOillllHb-
ioner of Lunacy and the superintendent of
all the State insane asylums were among its
champions The State Board of Charities has
not as a body been heard from. But four men,
bers Of the Board have expressed themselves
in its favor, and only one has opposed it, Out
side of New York the sentiment in favor of
the State system is overwhelming. The So
ciety sent out foIty-two letters addressed to
the corresponding secretaries of the National
Conference of Charities. Thirty-two replies
have been received, Of which the report says ::
"Of these all but six represent the most en-
lightened public sentiment Of their respective
States TO be decidedly in favor Of State care
Of the inSane.o
The report states the course Of the LegiSlat-
uro on the bill, examines the criticisms that
have been passed upon it, and briefly presents
the arguments relied upon for its ultimate sue
cess. AS an abstract proposition the superior
ity of the State to the county system is pretty
generally admitted The question Of expedi-
ency remains. In the nineteen counties from
which il is proposed to remove the insane much
money has been spent on buildings for the ac-
commodation of such patients The society
holds that all except one Of these structures
could be utilized for poor-housc or for hos
ptal purposes. Do the nineteen counties agree
TO this? Again, the bill provides for the cree
ton Of a number of buildings to cost mot to
exceed $500 DER CAPITA for the patients pro-

posed to be accommodated That is to say,
cottage designed for twenty patients is to pc
built for $1,000. Do those who arc familiar
with the actual cost of the public buildings OF
this State regard these figures as high enough ?
The bill will be reintroduced at Albany next
winter and will be pressed more earnestly than
ever In the meantime, full discussion Of the
subject in all that it involves is eminently de-
sirable in order that our legislators may make
no mistake in regard to the attitude OF the
people. Insanity is in some respects the most
terrible of Affections. The State, therefore,
should pursue the wiscst and most beneficent
policy in its treatment of the pauper and in
digcnt insane.

and has never favored creative or progressive
legislation.
The Republican party believes in govern
ment for American interests, in Legislation FOR
American industries, and in practical reforms
in State and Nation. 1t demands the main
tenance of that splendid triumph of creative
leo;slation-tbe Protective Tariff-which the
free trade Democracy is striving to repeal ana
destroy In States where Prohibition amend
ments have been carried or high-license laws
passed it has been on the side Of temperance
and the best interests of the American home
1t represents what is most characteristic and
progressive in American civilization.

rup nr,rH or SHERIDAN


Tho thouch,ful spectator of procession
Of the soldiers of the War for the Union Is
soon struck by the fact that many of them
are old men. lie begins to realize that
whole generation of men has been born ana mas
passed away since the surrender at AppomattoA.
We are reminded Of it to-day in chroncnhg
the unexpected news that General Sheridan
the dashing cavalry leader of the Union Army
tbe incarnation of youthful feailessness and
imretuosity, who made the wild charge OF
Mission Ridge, when he was but thirty-two,
is desd.-in the ffty-eighth year of his age.
He follows not long after his great commander
end friend, Grant, ard splendid line Of brave
leaders. Our heroes are gathering fast on the
other side.
Sheridan was born to be a cavalry fighter.
No soldier in our history has ever displayed
such qualities, or made this arm of the service
so brilliantly useful. The changes of modern
warfare had deprived the cavalry of much of
its old effectiveness. Improvements in arms
and ammunition had rendered it far less
practicable to turn the scale of battle with
a single charge of horsemen than il once was.
The cavalry had sunk into a position of in
ferority to the other branches of the army
I'D to the time that Sheridan's genius was
allowed to assert itself He soon showed what
it could do in cutting of the enemy's sources
of supplies, in devastating great tracts OF
country so as to cripple his opponents, and
in dealing sledge-hammer blows in battle at
critical moments II is not easy to divide
up the glory Of great deeds, and it is net
necessary to do so when brave and generous

of credit for that wonderful eleven months
campaign in Virginia, which brought the war
to close, was undoubtedly due to the fierce
little fighter, who swept clean the Valley OF
the Shenandoah, turned the tide of battle at
Winchester. cut Richmond eff from its sup
plies and bore everywhere that restless, fear
less, audacious part that made him chief among
the picturesque figures of the war.
He was, and will remain, one Of the great
heroes of that conflict. He had every quality
that in soldier appeals to the popular imaGi-
nation. Yet it would be a great injustice to
class him with mere fighters-men who have
courage and nothing more His success IN
planning and executing extensive and danger
Gus movements, and the nature of his influence
over his army, proved him to be emphaticaliy
a born leader Of men, great soldier.
1t is not his least claim to the admiration
of the American people that he positively dis
countenanced the suggestion Of his name as
candidate for the Presidency. lie had the
shrewdness to know that neither his tempera-
ment nor his training fitted him for civic po-
sition. and that he would imperil his fame by
undertaking it. He leaves behind him now
a renovn that is complete and without blemish
"a name that will always be gratefully re-
membered by his coantIymen.
