s:sja,41fF NORTH TEXAS ASYLUM.

The sixth annual report of the man.
agement of the North Texas hospital FOL
the Insane presents some curious read.
| ing. Attention is called to the wore
''hospital'' used In the name of this in.
stitution; it conveys the proper idea al
to what should be the character of the
retreats furnished for the insane. As i:
said in this report these unfortunates are
"sick people, - and effort should be In
the direction of restoration to health.
| Among the recommendations for future
| legislation is one that should meet O.,
| once tie attention of law makers; it i:
that the lunatic laws be changed so that
common juries DO not pass upon the
sanity of persons considered insane. This
suggestion has been also urged through
the press, and the evil of the present
system is at once apparent to any who
will by actual observation satisfy them
selves.
The appointment OF a competent fe-
male phys in the wards devoted to
women is commendabIe in the highest
degree. Dr. Grace Danforth entered
upon her duties June 10, and it is stated
that the best results are anticipated from
her appointment.
The board tender their grateful 40
Acknowledgements to kind-hearted friends
who have furnished literature to the
patients and have aided in forming the
nucleus of library. Especially are
they grateful to the press of Texas-not
only for papers sent regularly, but for q
liberal allotment Of space in publish ing
matter relative to the institution. The
percentage of deaths is remarkably
small. For the year ending October 81,
1889, there was out of 1888 admitted only
thirty deaths. The average of patients
is put at 435, maintained at cost per
capita of Sl54.Gl.
Connected with this institution is q
farm. garden and dairy, and the pro-
the table.
Naturally Texas has q larger repre-
sentation than other sections, amounting
to fraction over one third the total
number of admissions. In occupations
engineers are in the majority of men,
exclusively, while farmers and their
wives exceed any other calling; of causes
leading to insanity, family bereavement
is the nost fertile. The report bears
evidence of care IN its preparation, and
is very complete in all departments.

- a GAY HUMORIST.

John Sherman is developing marked
traits of the humorist in his old days.
An evidence o! it Is the statement that
Republican defeat at the polls Novem-
Der 4, is largely responsible for the re-
cent furry In stocks aud financial strin-
gency 10 money centers. He does not
trace the connection between the two,
rs II is not the business of the humorist
to analyze or verify his facts. OF course
We are to understand that all good Is
from the Republican party, and that
when it gets rickety or windshaken, the
bottom is sure to drop out of things.
Very good John, but what ails the En-
glish? Why are they in financial stress!
Why are the Earrings in the nine {tete
almost? But as asking questions like
this spoils somewhat the effect of
Icicle Johns humor, We forbear. II
would be q pity to discourage the
sprightly sallies of one, who in the sere
and yellow leaf, displays such pretty
wit in discussing matters of grave i'm
port. If the old gentleman can keep up
that lick he may, like Bill Nye, get
job as humorous writer on q newspaper
when some Ohio Democrat turns him
down in q race for the senate.

SIZE WANTS TO BE BISHOP.

Miss Francis Willard is said to aspire
to q bishoprlc in the Methodist church.
A dignitarY of that church, speaking
about her candidacy said that he KIN ew
Fof nothing in the way of her becoming q
bishop, but the necessary number of
votes in the general conference. The
question of admitting women as lay
delegates to that body has not yet been
determined in their favor, having been
referred by the last general conference
TO local or district conferences for con-
sideration. 1t is not improbable, how
ever, that the matter will be decided in
their favor, after which 1t seems that
they will be eligible to all dignities en-
joyed by men. There are female preach
ers in other churches. Why should not
the Methodist church, which is one of
the most progressive and wide-awake
Of them all, distinguish itself in the
emancipation of women By making one
of them bishop? Miss Willard Is II
woman OF uncommon brain power and
force of character, and il she sets her
head to be bishop, will probably sue
coed. These are great days for strong
minded women.

THE "RECIPRoCITY'' CLAUSE OF

A Washington special to the St. Louis
Globe Democrat lets the cat out Of thy
bag. 1t is now conceded, says the
writer. that the reciprocity clause of
the Mckinley bill authorizing the presi-
dent to make certain concessions to for
eign powers ia :he matter of tariff duties
in consideration of similar favors from
them, is utterly "impracticable, q
"temporary makeshift, - and probable
unconstitutional. That Mr.. Blaine him.
self shares this view of it is evident
busy negotiating commercial treaties
with South American governments for
the purpose of promoting trade with
them. The Brazilian minister has al
ready dispatched to his government the
form of treaty between HIM
self and the secretary of state. The
Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity amendment
was discussed last summer before the
Latin American conference, 1t was re-
garded by the delegates as worthless,
and by none more so than by Gen. John
B. Henderson, head OF the conference
on the part of the United States. Mr.,
Blaine was then given to understand tina;
his scheme of reciprocity was valueless,
and far from what the situation de-
mauded. OF course he recognized that
tact himself, but Insisted, all the same,
that 1t should be clapped astrlds the Nc
Kinley bill, like q monkey on circus
pony-merely for show.
Democrats derded and sneered at II
as Il Cheap-John electioneering device, a
trek to gull the unwary, to entrap the
farmers, and tide the Mckinley bill over
the election and they were right. It's
prompt abandonment after the election
by lie author confirms all that has been
said in derogation Of it. It was q cheap
and remarkably thin device. The people
saw through it and spurued at it as de-
lusion and mockerv. And now it is
nothing more than legislative junk.

The day OF cheap watches has passed. The
country is flooded with them. THE GAZETTE,
abreast with the times, has resolved that every
one Of It's subscribers shall have laced WITHIN
his reach a watch of the best kind made-one
that he will be proud to wear and have comfort
in using.
Time was when the stop-watch, with the ST lit
second hand, used for timing horses on race
tracks, cost many hundred do lars and could be
afforded by only few. Time was when a gold
case OF sufficient thickness TO protect a watch
was out of the range OF possibilities of nearly all
men. The decrease in the cost OF manutac ure
OF movements and the invention OF 1hree-sheet
NOV brings both these within the means of
many, and almost to the price which is charged
by swindlers for the gold washed limitations
and brass counterfelts of common watches. The
genuine ''gold-fIled'' or ''reinforced'' cases
patented and made only by half q doz n manu-
facturers are the same for use and wear a. solid
gold cases and may be so considered and treated.

RocKDALE. TEX, Nov. 81. 1880.
This is the home OF :Harry Tracy -
sometimes called the Sam Jones of tn g
Alliance and sometimes Old Grizzly
Mr.. Tracy ascribes much of the late po-
litical revolution to the efforts of the AL
lance. On the principle that a prophe t
is not without honor save in his own
country, some of the local county papers
and people not in sympathy with the AL
lance undertake to ridicule and discredit
MIR. Tracy, but notwithstanding the fact
that he was defeated by the Democracy
(Which is too big for him or any one) in
his advocacy of certain measures, he is a
shrewd, quick and intelligent man. Tn
like some others, what be tried to do
was within the party, not out of It, and
he deserves little more considerable
treatment than some seem disposed to
give him. L. II.

and collected from many sources as much
information as possible to aid in per-
fecting the system in this state. It will
bs remembered that Mr.. Cooper &C.
lively supported the proposition to inau-
gurate plan for providing free uniform
text books throughout the state, plan
not yet carried out, but one that has
much to recommend it, and ono that
in his opinion must be the final solution
OF the text-b book question. Relating to
this question he has incorporated the
letters OF the state superintendents in
most of the states and territories, and
books has been tried it has proven salts
sactory. In some instances where there
is no state law towns have taxed them
selves and thus carry out the idea OF free
schools in every particular.
Notwithstanding the nuni6cent dona-
ton the state ha made Of land to create
a fund, Mr.. Cooper says that the annual
interest is insufficient to meet the de-
mands of a rapidly increasing popuia-
ton, and because of II certain amount of
neglect in the collection of interest due.
The disparity between the actual income
land the proper income amounting to
1872 600 annually, the default interest
now aggregating at least $500, 900. He
also advocates the raising Of the school
tax to Its maximum, and thereby enable
pupils to have a six-monihs' school and
the teachers living wages, and finds local
taxation the only feasible source from
which the necessary income can be de-
rived.
The report is full, and the suggestions
OF MIR. Cooper and the memorial pre-
pared by the teachers, deserves more
than casual notice from those who con-

IVORY. NOT PHILANTHROPY

The Stanley Barttelot affair has
stirred old England from center to
circumference. John Bull pretends to
be in mighty rage over the mercenary
and barbarous features of the Emin Re-
lief expedition. Poor Bull! One would
conclude from his Tuning and suffering
over the affair that an iudelible stain
had been put upon his character; that
his reputation for honesty, unseIfishness,
humanity and God fearing sanctity and
holiness had been cruelty and shamefully
wounded, lacerated and torn. There is
not perhaps west of St. Georges nor
south of the English channel, a reasoning
creature alive who felt the slightest sur
prise whatever at hearing that thu
object of the relief expedition under Mr..
Stanley was the capture Of great
quantities of ivory and the acquisition
by conquest Of wide areas Of African
territory, and not the rescue OF MIR.
Emin Schnitzer, whose fate and fortunes
Sir william McKinnon probably cared as
little about as he does about Web Flana-
gan s dull thud. Yet John Bull appears
to be not only surprised but disguised q,
hearing that noodle aud not humanity
was the object. Dear old Bull, what a
contiding, generous and unseIfsh
heart he has! He roars with
pain and anger, because a few English
men tried to make deal by getting hold
they thought-in the interior of Africa.
1t was sordid and mercenary, he says,
and therefore disgraceful.
