The Suggestion Adopted.

Following quick upon the suggestion
of DIR. Blackford, of the w. L. Asylum.
at Staunton, that the word ''lunaticn be
eliminated from the name of such insti-
tuition, we notice that at a meeting in
Raleigh, North Carolina, on the 18th, of
conference committee, composed of
three Superintendent of insane ylums
of the State, of members of the State
Medical Board of Health and State Med
1cal Board, to perfect arrangements for
the be tier care of the insane and inebri-
ate of the State, it was proposed to
change the name of the Western North
Carolina Insane Asylum to that of the
Estate Hospital at Morgantown." This
Is in the line of the suggestion made to
call the asylum at this place the Virgin
la Hospital at Stanton" We have no
doubt the modification indicated in the
action of the North Carolina experts,
will be adopted there, and similar action
should be taken by the Legislature of
for this State.
There should be a dispassionate con
sideration of the whole question Of reform
in our State Institutions fer the care of
the insane, and those whose minds have
reached that degree of disturbance as to
require expert treatment. A broad and
liberal policy ought to be demanded and
adopted, and the Legislature of the State
take hold of it, with the primary and
paramount purpose of making our asy-
lums what they should be-institutions
abreast of the times in the treatment
and care of all cases of mental alteration
or disease. There is no subject which has
more in it torappeal to the hearts and
minds of those entrusted with making
our laws-or that touches and stirs the
nobler emotions of our nature than the
care,gf the mentally afflicted.
The press should arouse public inter
est in the matter, and the Legislature
should heed the demand that the spirit
of the times and the needs of humanity
make upon it.

Things to Think About.
rom The New York Tribune.

From The New York Tribune.
The 1rdbm1ae has few words to Offer
to those manufacturers, workingmen
farmers, and others whose votes helped
tie great Democratic victory
Are yon ready to try Free Trade? Dis
satisfied with the practical application
of the protective policy, as you now un-
derstand its effect, you vote to give pow
er to party whose ruling idea is the ex-
termination of protective duties. That
is the meaning OF Democratic votes this
year if they have any logical meaning
in respect to the tariff question Some
of you have made public your purpose
to vote against the party responsible 70,
the Mckinley bill because it did not give
you free raw materials. Others have
expressed the same purpose because the
measure seemed to make prices higher
very well; suppose the Republican par
ty should take you at your word. 1t will
not, being governed by principles and
convictions. But ii its Senators and
Representatives should play the cheap
politician and trim their sails to the pop
u!ar breeze how would your votes affect
you?
More than a hundred cases have been
c,ronicied within the last month in
which new manufacturing establish
ments were started or about to start be-
cause of the recent change of duties--
All these and the thousand more behind
them, would require the work of me
chanics and laborers ia building, the
work of machinsts and iron producers
in equipment, and the work of multi
tudes in producing raw materials for
their use. Democratic votes mean that
the voters want this sort of thing stop
ped. Very we'll; what next? Free raw
materials.
Bat free raw materials mean also a
great reduction or absolute removal of
duties on manufactured products. The
millions who grow wool or raise ore or
coal from the earth do not vote to pay
duties on goods Of any kind if duties are
not paid on coal and ore and wool. When
the duties on manufactured products
come Off OF are cut down to a purely rev.
enue basis how many concerns would
have to close? How many hundred
thousand workers would have to Join
the army of the unemployed so that this
country might buy cheap goods abroad ?
Perhaps the manufacturers who have
voted to help the Democracy imagine
that they can retain protective duties on
goods and yet get removal of duties on
raw materials. They will learn their
mistake. The great increase OF the army
OF the unemployed will mean q further
shfinkage in thedemand for all products
OF industry Democratic votes this year
mean all this
1t is not OF much use now for manufitc-
turers or workingmen or farmers to re-
greet that they have given great impulse
to the Free Trade ball. But it may be
of use for them to consider without much
delay whether they mean to let it roll on
to the logical end or to stop it,

An Unlucky Serenade.

Uric G.. Rollins of the Chico En-.
terprise, who, with Dunn Dude. leads
the Chico F. H., had a fearful ex.
perience in the City of Roses the
other night. Uric is a somnambu-
list and sleeps in his walk. On the
occasion referred to in this item he
got out of bed at midnight attired
in a boiled shirt and nelige pants.
Crawling out of the window, he fol-
lowed the direction of his heart,
and went to serenade a wayside
daisy who fragrances her waist in
the vicinity of the Normal School.
With the "plunk p "plunk !" of a
harmonica he brought his love to
the window. He tuned his throat
with the hymn "Take Me as I Am" I"
and ended the chorus with "This is
all l have in the wide, wide world p
He strained his ears for the simple
compliment of the fair Juliet, whose
words were ever a soothing balm
to his aching heart. At last it came,
and sounded something like this !:
Indeed, I feel sorry for you, Uric,
but cannot take you as you are. l
might give you a pair of pas old
trousers. But if that is all you have
got / advise you, for heavens sake,
to take it off and start even with
the world !''-Oroville Mercury.

New Idea in Angling.

Joseph Murphy, the Irish come
dian, who is now playing over at
the Haymarket, is an enthusiastic
angler, and never misses an oppor-
tunity to go on fishing trip. Even
now he is looking forward to the
fine times he will have next sum-
mer with the rod and reel. He tells
some good fish stories, among them
one which is particularly good.
One day some time ago he went out
on a fishing excursion with friend
who was full of bright ideas in the
angling line. AS the two paused at
an inviting spot and prepared to
cast, one of Murphy's friends bright
ideas struck him. Picking up one
of a pile of shingles lying on the
bank he tied a line around it, put
on hook, which he baited with a
live frog, and threw it into the water.
The shingle foated on the surface
of the water.
"Now, Joe" said Murphy's friend,
"if a big fish bites he will try to 60
to the bottom after he finds himself
hooked, and the shingles full broad
side will offer such resistance that
he will be held where he is. We
can set a number of these and then
go further along and fish for perch.
When we come back we will prob
ably find big catch. This struck
the comedian as a great idea, and
they set out eighteen of these shin
gle lines before they left the spot.
Then they went along and had great
luck in catching perch. "But what
do you suppose we found when we
returned to our traps?" Murphy
asks, when he reaches this point in
the story. The listeners all make
big fish guesses, and then Murphy
says: "No; we found our eighteen
frogs calmly amusing themselves
on eighteen shingles. - Chicago
