We are sorry TO see that the Board OF Super
visors of Wyoming County has passed resolutions
opposing the removal of the county's INDECENT
insane to the State lunatic asylums, and urging
their Senator and Asscmbyman TO oppose any
bill to that effect. 1t is well known that insane
people of this class are kept in the poor-houses.
and it is the opinion of the most competent Judges
that their welfare would be greatly promoted by
transferring them TO institutions in which they
could receive the care which is wholly, or almost
wholly, lacking in almshouses. The movement
in their behalf is purely humanitarian one, and
deserves the support Of right-thinlsing people 1t
is a short-sighted policy which animates those
who, like the Wyoming County Supervisors. favor
keeping such unfortunates where they are treated
as little better than dumb animals

November, 1889. and especially the closing
week of the month, will be memorable for
It's fires The contrasts between the fires
in Lynn and Boston and that in Mime
apolis are striking. In the Eastern cities a
large extent OF territory was burned over in
each case, but there was no loss Of human life.
In Minneapolis only single building suffered
from the flames, but probably score of lives
were sacrificed The construction of the burned
building was obviously faulty. The stairway
was narrow, the single fre-eScape inadequate,
and the structure, though nominally freproof,
when put to the test was far from being so.
In fact. its faulty condition attracted notice
three years ago, and important changes were
suggested, but nothing in the way of improve
nlent was reilly undertaken. Either the owners
or the city authorities made grave mistake in
not having the needful repairs made in time t.
prevent the catastrophe of Saturday night

A Pennsylvania hardware dealer is reported as
asserting that six pistols are sold in the North

to be regarded by The Charleston News and
Courier as indicating that we Northerners are
more bloodthirsty than our Southern brethren.
Wa should dislike to produce the impression
that the men of our section were not to the last
degree chivaric but the blunt fact is that five
out of the six pistols in question were purchased
with view of putting end TO the career OF the

The London Times" is already proposing to
appropriate Stanley, straightway TO convert him
into a British subject and to employ his vast in
tellectual and other resources in promoting Brit
ish commercial interests in East Africa. He Is to
become if he doesn't object, the executive officer
of the British East Africa Company, over whose
leased dominions he is to rule, the Warren Hast
ings of Zanzibar This would certainly be good
thing for England and her enterprising company.
But before Mr.. Stanley accepts any such COM
mission he should supply himself with guarantees
that if he ever gets into trouble he shall not be
left to die as Gordon was. The East Africa
Company claims authority over 10000 square
miles Of territory from the Zanzibar coast north
of the Tana River inland 10 the Victoria Nyanza.
There is plenty Of room within this enormous
area for Stanley to find himself some day in
crucial danger and difficulty. When he goes per-
manently into Africa under English auspices he
should see to it that the Empire as we'll as the
company is bound for his safe deliverance But
perhaps, after ALL Stanley will want to come
home.

Is the proposition to eliminate from our method
OF denoting time the division of the day into a. m
and p. m likely to succeedp Some of these years
when man asks what time is il ?" will he be
informed that il is half-past 49," or a quarter
to "a" as the case may be? " The Louisville
CONFECTIONERY answers such questions in the
affirmative Slow as the progress of the new
notation appears says that paper, it is unques-
tionably steadily gaining in favor and winning
it's way surely to general acceptance 1t may be
so in Kentucky, but hereabouts the new notation
would not appear to be picking up any delegates.
It is understood that the admirers of the poet
Young are banded together with the determination
to preserve the present notation or know the
reason why. One of Youngs most admired pass
ages, it will be remembered, begins:
The bell strikes one We take no note OF time
But from It's loss.
The Youngites are afraid that if this new-fangled
scheme. prevails in later editions of Young, this
immortal passage will be made to read:
The bell strikes thirteen. etc.
Who then can blame them for fighting against
such startling innovation, and standing by the
notation Of the fathers?

When did the custom originate in New-York
that permits respectable children to parade on
the sidewalks on Thanksgiving Day with masks
and fantastic dress, and even to beg from passers
by or from door to door? No harm is done, per-

good naturedly; but what natural relation is
there between this sort of frolic and the day?

One of the Men Shot by the Lone Highwayman
Dead, the Other In the Hospital
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI. Au5. % Don
aid McKarcher, the Minneapolis man,
who was shot by a robber near Gogebic
yesterday, arrived in this city at 1880
this morning and was at once taken TO
the hospital. The wound in the leg is
very painful but not serious. The other
bullet passed through the roof of his
mouth and out of the right cheek. Ac-
cording to McKarcher, the
reports telegraphed from the
scene of the robbery are correct
in every detail. Mckarcher
said this evening that the rObber must be
wounded, as he got four shots, and he Is
considered a good shot. A telegram was
received in this city from Bessemer,
Mich. this evening stating that Flesch-
born, the other victim of the highway
man s bullets, had died IN the hospital
there to-day. He has a wife and two
children at BellevilIe, III. Sheriff Foley
is still out with a posse in pursuit of the
robber, but slight hopes are entertained
of his capture, as the country between
Gogebic and Lake Superior is dense
forest.

THE Laredo council seem to have
permanently retired from the foundry
proposition by their refusal to sell the
blocks at the same figures given the
improvement company or to donate
them ON the basis of the proposition
made last August by the city. This
seems unfortunate, for that foundry
would have brought good business to
Laredo. If the council made the
proposition as asserted, and it is not
denied that they did, this recession
from their offer will look like breach
of good faith, and will not be credit
able to the city.
