Who is Spencer?

EDITOR TRIBUNE-The writer of this
communication met Capt. Geo. E. Spencer
in the summer of 1862 at Corinth, Miss. At
that time Capt. Spencer was A. A. G. on
the staff of Gen. &. M. Dodge, of Iowa.
President Lincoln always claimed that
there were loyal men in the south. aver in
the cotton states, so Capt. Spencer was
authorized to recruit a regiment of loyal
Alabamians, at that time a dangerous
piece of business, requiring plenty of nerve
and good judgment. Capt. Spencer sue
ceeded and as a natural consequence was
made colonel of the regiment. After a
short period of service in the field he was
made brigadier-general by President Lin
OF the Tennessee. On the march to the sea,
General Fitzpatrick commanded the cavalry
with General Spencer second in command.
He marched with Sherman until the sur
render of Joe Johnston. General Spencer
headed his loyal Alabamians in the grand
review in Washington. AS a natural re-
suit of his military connection with Ala
war he settled in Alabama and was elected
United States senator from that state, and
at the end Of his term shared the same
fate as all other Union soldiers who loca-
ted in "Dixie's Land" l have never had
the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Spencer, but
those who have met her say that she is a
charming lady, christian and charitable
almost 10 a fault. She is the wife Of a gal
liant ex-Union general and ought not to be
attacked by the newspapers.
l write this because I think that an ed
itorial published in The Settler tie other
day does General Spencer a great injuS-
tice. NJ.

Regarding the Lottery Bill.

Fargo Argus: Senator Sandager has
evolved a plan to meet the expenses of
statehood. X + 1t is said the
corporatOrs will deposit one million dollars
in the banks Of the state and agree to keep
the money in North Dakota. Every COM
munity having a solvent bank, will have
from twenty to fifty thousand dollars of
money now kept in the south. 1t is an old
and trite axiom, to make money, you must
60 where money is. Senator Sandager is
brighter than that. He does not propose
to leave North Dakota, so he just leglslates
to bring the money here, instead of going
there or sending it away. 1t is said
that Montana has offered to
grant a charter without fees,
but the corporation wants to locate
in North Dakota, and if the state will give
them a license to do business, they will in
duce millions Of capital to come here.
Perhaps there are some prejudices against
the scheme, but when looked at imparti-
ally, is it any more of a game of chance
thar dealing in wheat options, or church
fairs? Thousands OF dollars are sent out
from here every month to New Orleans
and these remittances are only a small
modicum of what Is invested In the Louisi-
n state lottery. Why not have that
money sent into Dakota, where much Of it
will be permanently invested. There
are four national banks in New Orleans
kept alive by this corporation. The char
ter granted in the constitution of the state
of Louisiana expires in 1892. New Or
leans is away off to II side, and it takes a
long time to reach over the country from
there. Boston is said to contribute $780,
900 a month. San Francisco $4,000, Port
land, st. Louis, Chicago, New York, Cen-
ada and Manitoba hundreds Of thousands.
North Dakota is central and the mail, tele-
graph and express facilities are equal to
the requirements. Is it best to give these
mOnied men a Crial?

and the per capita cost during the eighteen
months which it covers. The reports sent
you include the whole time from the date
Of these tables up to the LIST day of July,
1888, and from them you will be able to
trace the gradual decrease in the per capita
cost as the numbers increased until the
full capacity OF the asylum was reached.
ter showing than we did with the same
number of patients.
ID. II. Hart, secretary state board Of
charities and corrections of Minnesota
says: "By reference to page seventy-four
OF our second biennial report you will see
that the per capita expense of the st.
Peters hospital with an average number
ter asylum with sixty.eight patients was
1928. The board of trustees estimated for
100 patients at the Fergus Falls hospital
$3.50 per capita. In the opinion of this
office that amount was too low and we
recommend all increase to $3.50, which the
legislature gave on our recommendation:
For 1000 patients each at st. Peter and
Rochester the annual cost per capita is
estimated at about 1854, which is not more
than half as much appropriated for the
Fergus Falls hospital for ninety patients.
DR.. II. A. TObey, superintendent hospital
for insane at Toledo, O.: = y y ltstands
to reason that an institution in the far
"SooS OoPOSAN11y WlC1C 1uCl ID 81 lAuCu VI
an item as it is with you, could not be man
aged so cheaply as here in the east. While
our per capita cost through this country
for fuel costs only about SIS including
lights, yours for fuel alone costs an aver
age per capita of nearly $50.
DIR. Strong, of Cleveland asylum, has
gone t o considerable trouble to collect sta
tlstics of the per capita cost Of various asy-
lums OF the country, and he states that the
average per capita cost is about $4,000 per
annum. II can readily understand how an
asylum with 200 or less inmates will cost
double or more with n having a popula-
ton of from 500 to 800"
pr. n. H. Rucker, superintendent hosplt-
al for insane at Stockton, Col, says: "That
small number of patients you have, must
necessarily be large. very much larger
Ihan in asylumS having a larger number.
Our climate is much milder than that of
yours, and much of the year we have no
hres at all except what is necessary for
running the machinery, while you at the
same time are pushing your furnaces to
the utmost capacity in order to keep your
patients comfortable. Our expenses for
clothing must necessarily be much below
yours. l notice from reports that your per
capita rate is no higher than in some OF the
Old eastern asylums."
DR.: Z; D. Eastman, superintendent of the
hospital for insane, at Topeka, Kansas,
after a long letter in which he shows that
on asylum compares very favorably with
all other asylums having the same num-
Der n that our per capita cost is as low
as could we'll be made, closes by saying,
"ln short, nothing is more unfair and un-
Just than statistics which may be deduced
from reports and figures ignoring the
especial circumstances and conditions
which surround institutions or the subject
of consideration"

ASYLUM FACTS.
The Management of the Jamestown
Asylum Compared with Those
of Other States.
Superintendent Archibald Gets Some
Valuable Facts From Other Asy-
lums Of the Country.
A Good Showing.

1t having been charged that Supt. o. w.
Archibald has been extravagant in the
management of the hospital for the insane
at jamestown, that gentleman addressed
letters to the superintendent of the lead
ing asylumss in the United States, CIV
ing them the average number of patients
in the North Dakota institution during the
past year-185-and the cost per capita
1891. He requested the superintendent to
give facts and figures regarding the cost of
keeping their patients per capita, and the
result of the comparison is a remarkably
creditable showing for the North Dakota
institution. The point made is that it is I'M
fair to compare the per capita cost of an
asylum that has only 1856 patients with
n having 1000 or 1900. The same ma
chinery, cost Of superintendent, physi-
clans, boiler rooms, etc, must be paid for
whether there are 100 patients or 1000,
and if you divide the expenses to ascertain
the cost per capita, the institution with the
smaller number of patients must suffer
by comparison.
IN KANSAS
In answer to DR.. Archibald's letter, DIR.
A. Il. Knapp, superintendent of the hospi-
tai for insane at Osawotomie, Kansas, says:
II think you make a good showing taking
into consideration the expense Of fuel,
ETC."
KANKAKEE, Ill
DR.. Richard Dewey, superintendent of
the hospital for insane, Kankakee, Illinois,
says: Il now enclose a statement here
with of the average amount per capita ex-
pense of this institution for each of the
years during which it has been in opera
ton, which readily explains itself. Fuel
only cost us 'one-twelfth where it cost you
nearly one fourth of the per capita cost"
This shows the cost per capita during the
past nine years and while at 1874 the cost
was greater than with the same number in
jamestown as the numbers increased, the
cost per capita diminished.

The Death of Louis Agard.

George Douglas was up from Fort Yates
last week to see the county court on the ap-
pointment of al administrator for the es.
tate of the late Louis Agard. The Wlnona
Times thus speaks of the death of this old
timer:
Died: At Fort Yates, on Monday the Sd
inst, Louis Agard. Mr.. Agard was a we'll
known character on the river for many
years. Having come to this part of the
country in the COS, when but few white
men had ever visited the now famous Mis-
souri, slope, he endured many hardships in
his frontier life and although the mode of
life he was forced to lead in the early
years of his settlement On the upper Mis-
souri,, gave him a rough exterior, his uni
form kindness of hearts was never ques-
toned, and to the wayfarer his latch string
was always out and a warm welcome was
assured. He was a familiar figure about
Fort Yates and Win0na and he will be
greatly missed by his many friends in this
vicinity,

THEODORE RoosEvELT's HOME.

His contributions to literature have
zine sketches. He has done serious
work. His g Winning of the West" is a
valuable contribution to American his
tory. The field was not virgin, it is
true, but it had been touched so slightly
shat the world had scant knowledge of
the patient work, dreadful hardships
and romantic adventures of those hardy
and heroic pioneers who pushed beyond
the Ohio and the Mississippi, and pre-
served for our country the vast territory
which stretches thence TO the Pacific. In
the histories | saw when l was boy at
school in Kentucky l never came across
much about any of the worthless who
built up our country except those whose
lives had been spent on the seaboard.
The books Of twenty years ago were
all made in Boston and New York and
Philadelphia, and unless a man hap
pened to belong to the east he had very
little chance to have his deeds chron-
icled by the historians. The east has
learned that there is q good deal of west
to the country, and Mr.. Roosevelt in his
book shows that even before the estab-
Ishment of the republic there were men
in the west who were heroic alike in
their conceptions and their deeds. This
was large undertaking for a young
man of fortune. But while he was do
ing this he had other affairs to keep in
order-fences to keep trim which were
always disposed to tumble down.
He was an active politician. He went
TO the primary elections and to the nomi-
mating conventions. He was elected to the
legislature at Albany. and he was for
the lobbyists very uncomfortable ele-
ment in that body when any job was to be
rushed through. He braved Roscoe Conk-
ling when the great senator tried to
force Grsx on his party for third term.
And in his famous race for the mayor
atty of New York he braved quite as
formidable an opponent as Conkling
ever was IL the eccentric, the irascible,
but always able and entertaining Abram
Hewitt, who kicked conventionality cut
of doors when he became mayor, and
made the conduct of the business of the
great city as gay and lively as the per-
Torrance of comic opera.
Mr.. Roosevelt's present undertaking.;
that is, to divorce Office holding from
partisan politics. is certainly big one.
l don't know how hopeful he is after the
experience he has had. He certainly
would not be afraid of the job because
it was big and difficult. That Is not in
him. If, however, ne ever does accom-
plish his task / venture the opinion that
he will need 10 take his ease for a sea
son or so at least at his beautiful home
on Long Island. JNo. GILMER SPEED.
