THE REPLY OF THF REGENTS.
They Defend Their Administration OF isy-
lum Affairs.


The Regents of the Asylum have
prepared the following reply to the
structures upon the management Of the
institution by the Legislative commit
tee of investigation in their recent re-
port.
To His Excellency, Gov. B. r. Till
man:
The committee appointed by the
Legislature in December last to exam
inc into and report upon the condition
and management Of the Lunatic asy-
lum, has completed its work, and made
its report to the Chief Executive of the
State. Inasmuch as this report brings
several charges directly against the
Board of Regents. we deem it proper
in the outset TO state the fact that the
inquisition was made by the corumittee
without notice to us, without any init
nation to Us that we were to be put on
trial, and consequently with 10 oppor-
nifty given Us, or any Of the officers in
charge Of the Institution Of rebUttal. It
was entirely an cc-Parte proceeding,
where witnesses We're examined il pri-
vate.
1.-The report with the charges therein
contained, has gone in q semi-Cfficial
form, before the people Of the State,
thorugh the newspapers Of the day.
After an examination of such por-
tiols Of the testimony taken by the
legislative committee as has now just
been submitted to Us by the Governor,
we find that in large number of cases
the witnesses giving the most unfavor-
able testimony We're either discharged
attendants or employees having some
fancicd grievance to avenge. The two
principa charges against the board
proper are: First, failure to meet as
often as their rules require: and second,
lax performance of their duty when
SUCH meetings are Helu.
.'The first charge we positively assert
to De without foundation in fact. The
rules of the board require monthly
meetings and our records will show
that since the passage Of the law
ten years ago there has been no single
instance of our failure to meet as re-
quired. But few instances have occurr-
ed in which every member was not
present, and in every such case the alb
sentee was prevented from attending
by sine iness or other unavoidable
cause. True, every ward is not visited
at every meeting, the largely increased
size Of the asylum rendering this work
oftoo much ma gnitude for one days per
formance, the rule of our board being
that at the conclusion of each meeting
the board appoints committees of two
to inspect the different portions Of the
entire institution, and our records
show in the reports of said committees
that lalge portion Of the building is
regularly inspected by US, and the tes-
timony Of the witnesses before the leg
iSlative committee goes to show that
those portions Gnvisited were always
in proper condition, the purpose, there
fore, Of the inspection having been IS
fully ACCOMPLISHED bv the known IN

that time the Napoleonic line has led
rather a precariOus existence, with

of the railway will never be dimmed,
for it is a substantial aid to progress.

Mr.. BOYINGToN, one of Garden
City's farmers, raised and threshed an
average of 234 bushels of wheat to the
acre on his farm From 65 acres of
land he had threshed 700 bushels Of
fax and had $50 more to thresh. He
has the best herd of blooded stock on
his farm in the county. Yet he is one
of the ''poor farmers that Gen. Baker
talked so much about last fall who
were travelling the downward road to
the poor house,. The care of such
crops and herds is heavy load for a
man to carry over that thorny route,
out he will be comforted by the
knowledge that the best farmers of
the county are on the same road, all
bound for the same destination, and
the best wishes of lots of friends for
many successive years of the same
kind of poverty attend them. But
Baker, OH Baker, did you ever blush
for your SANDERS?

Some people never take books to the
country with them. They either feel no
need for the strength or relaxation they
might gain from reading, or they rely
upon chance for their mental pabulum.
Few are the readers who carry with
them anything but the lightest of sum-
mer novefs-books that can be thrown
away without regret when finished
Perhaps it is too much to ask that any
one not a student should pend much
energy in hot weather upon mental i'm
provement. Yet it does seem as though
something better might be read than the
merely epherneral novelette,. How many
of the rising generation are really fa7nil-
lar with the novels of Scott. OF Dickens,
Of Thaclseray, Of Cooper. Of George
Eliot, OF Miss ,Luloclz, or with the
charming long and short stories by our
own American authors:
There was a time when the heavy
binding and high cost Of standards rem
dered them undesirable books to read in
a hammock, but the recent issue of the
works Of many Of the best English and
American writers in paper covers does
away with this objection. Good books,
in good type, on good paper, at a price
that practically puts them within the
reach Of every one, are to be had on
every hand.

used there. Fair work can be done
by it; but we are not very proud Of it,
except as an example to shun. When
you see it in operation you will not
think it strange that we are very con
tident of our ability to devise machin-
cry that will do the work better, and
we are already constructing machines
to work in a more American fashion. ;
In these respects our American cou-
sins may be riding the high horse
somewhat, but is there no direction
in which our tin plate makers could
improve? We think this question
may be worth their consideration.
Without attempt at prediction as
to the future of tin plate, either in
this country or in others, does it not
stand to reason that we'll developed
competition, bringing into use the
best and newest improved machinery
and processes possible to devise, will
have the effect of reducing the cost
of the manufactured article? The
Mckinley Tariff bill may not be. in
fact is not, what the English want,
but it comes pretty near being the
right thing for America.

a LUMBER trust is being formed in

$40 and such assessments as may be
levied, which are to be based upon
the output Of the firm or company.
Lumber will be raised in price from
one to two dollars per thousand feet.
Manufacturers claim that lumber has
been sold on too narrow margin,
,Dut there is some question as to the
soundness or 1ruthfulness of such
statements. ItWould appear, at least,

that a festival should commemorate

RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the
HOmeseeker.
Rich Lands at Low Figures-Early
Crops at Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana,
and another in Mississippi. on the
line of the Illinois Central r. r. but
few years ago had absolutely no
commercial Importance, and from
them not dollars worth Of produce
was sold to a DISTANT market. This
season, however. it has required from
one of them. an entire fruit refrigera-
tor car every day for six weeks to
transport its early Crops TO the North
ern markets, while from ten to TWEEN
ty car loads per day of vegetables
were shipped during the season from
the other. This is but single illus
tration, and by no means the most
forcible one that could be presented,
of the rapid development of certain
sections of the South, in profitable
agricultural section. There are many
localities in that direction, particul-
arly in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana, on or near the line of the
Illinois Central Railroad. that, al
though, as yet undeveloped, are cap
able of easy cultivation. and will grow
the finest kind of fruit and vegetables.
Lands well adapted to growing early
strawberries and grapes, of quality to
bring fancy prices in the market. can
be obtained there very cheap-in some
instances as low as 81 per acre. The
availability Of the Illinois Central fast
fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds
but final weight to the security of it's
being a profitable enterprise to engage
in the development of these lands.

THE TIN-PLATE SITUATION

The american Manufacturer, in an
editorial, says: SIT is folly for any
one to assert that we are not now
making tin plate, or that in all pro-
liability we will not make in the very
near future much more than the mini
mum amount mentioned in the tin
plate clause of the Mckinley act.'
1t then gives the capacity of mills now
at work as $3.50 tons, while work actu-
ally in progress will bring the yearly
make up to 800 tons. So far most
of the mills have decided to build on
the modern Welsh plans and i'm.
prove them afterward, as our rolling
mills are as good if not better than
the Welsh. These parties will strive
to make improvements in the tin
houses. Others are trying to de ,aovo
and by the application of new pinci
pals substitute machinery for hand
labor.

circles that if the Mckinley Tariff i,
