WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE Superin-
tendent ofthe Census today made pub
lie = bulletin, IN which are given statis-
tics upon the subject of asyluns for
the insane IL the United States. The
bulletin shows that the total number OF
insane persons treated N both pubic
and private institutions during the year
1889 was 1885. while during the year
1881 there were sc, 205 treated, showing
an increase in the nine years of Al 800,
or 1858 per cent.
This percentage. of increase, when
compared with the percentage OF in
crease of population IN the last decade,
namely 24.so. does not indicate an IN
crease in the propo rtion of insane per-
sons to population, but rather great
increase in the amount Of asylum ac-
commodatlOn provided.

What Eastern Newspapers Say In Regard
Il to the Wheat Circular.


to the Wheat Circular.
WASHINGTON, Aug. The Nav
York Recorder and other Eastern news
papers confirm the story telegraphef
Monday to the effect that grain s5ecu
iators had inspired and paid for the dis
tr,bution of the hold-back wheat circu
lar. The Recorder says in its Washing.
ton telegram:
PRESIDENT Polk and the Farmers
alliance officials in this city are begin.
hing TO weaken in regard to the wheat
circular, which is understood to have
gone out under their sanction. Presi.
uent Polk declares that the circular was
sent out during his absence, by Private
secretary Ayres, and declines ali re-
sponsibillty for it. Ayers claims that
tne circular was brought to him durinr
tne absence of Polk by one Mueller
member OF the Minnesota Alli,
ance. Without giving the matter yerv
siose attention and without reparding
nls action as official or binding rinon the
alliance, he sent the circular out to the
reform press bureau, which covers 3. t,Tf1
gr a,ooo papers in the country. Since
Inen ne has discovered that the circular
was sent to ". 900 papers by people not
associated with the Alliance headouar-
ters, and that over 1000, ,OOO copies had
reen distributed In one way or another.
Inls must have entailed an expense az
lully 800, 600. and this sum Ayers savs
was not at the disposal of the Alliance
TOT such purpose.
