A NEEDED INSTITUTION.

The growth of the Southside Hospital, as
reported in our local columns, shows the
need of that locality for such an institution,
and contains gratifying promise that the
need is to be better supplied in the future
than in the past. Of course the Southside
has shared in the use of the city hospitals,
but its distinct separation from the rest of
the city and its character as q manufact-
uring district make it as necessary for it to
have hospital facilities of its own as it was
for Allegheny. 1t is to the credit of the
Southside people that they have made an
effort to meet the want and are enlarging
the scope of their institution on their own
resources

SOMETHING TO AVOID,

The murder of a young man at fishing
camp on the Youghiogheny serves not only
to point a moral on the subject of drinking,
but to call attention to one prominent vari-
ETY. of it. Nothing is more healthy than
the practice of camping out, whether for
fishing, hunting or the mere enjoyment OF
outdoor life; but when this is used, as it is
too frequently, merely as a cloak for settling
down in some nook to consume a large sup
ply of intoxicating beverages, its effects
cannot fail to be deleterious even if they
fall short of the homicide which has re-
suited in this case. Events of this nature
should enforce upon fishing, hunting and
camping clubs the Importance of drawing a
line of strong demarcation between them
selves and drinking clubs.

CANTON, o., July 22.-Canton was shocked to-
day on hearing the news of the sudden death at

THE fact that the Doodle alderman, Nc
Quade, was acquitted on a second trial at
Ballston, arouses the sarcastic comments of
the New York press to the effect that while
the thieves do not get convicted, the lawyers
have a good time at the fashionable summer
resort near by. But why New York should
sneer at such results does not appear in the
circumstances of the case. For what pur-
pose was their District Attorney elected ex-
cept to secure the escape of public thieves
from justice, and do it in the pleasantest
and most agreeable manner possible?

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazetteer
In all Legislatures there should be a special
Committee on Common Sense, to which all
bills should be referred. Had there been such
a committee in the Minnesota Legislature. and
had it been worthy of its name, then that body
would not have made laughing-stock of it
self by passing a law prohibiting newspapers
from publishing particulars of executions.
The Attorney General has given it as his
opinion that the law is unconstitutional.

AMONG the rules for hot weather con-

is that offered by the New York Journal to
this effect: Eat good icecream slowly. you

icecream is not stated, but the average
young man who has to pay for the icecream
will not worry on that account. His trouble
is in finding out how to settle the bill, and
he is able to rely upon his best girl for being
able to solve the problem Of how TO eat it,
whether it is good or bad, without any
danger of being retired from active service.

A STATEMENT appears to the effect that
q Cincinnati man used 10000 gallons of
water in sprinkling his lawn last year.
This affords solution to the problem which

what Cincinnati did with its water supply

of drinking it, and surface indications that
it was used for washing were always some
what scarce. especially in the regions over
the Rhine.

THE Exposition loan is announced to be

do the latter, and it ought not to be devoid
of the public spirit necessary to do it.
