The insane asylums at Trenton and Nor
ris Plains are under separate and different
managements. The expense of these in
stitutions is so large, and the wisdom and
economy of having them under one man.
agen- ent so apparent, as they both relate
to the care of the insane, that in my ludg-
ment it would secure more efficient and
economical administration of these lnsti-
tntions financially if the two boards should
be abolished and new board created that
should have the care and management Of
both institutions Such board should
also have a supervisory control over the
county lunatic asylums, which receive ~
a week from tile state for each patient con
fined therein.
The total expenditures for these two
state asylHms during the year amounted
to $422 sSa Ig tho daily average Of patients
under treatment at The MOrristown asylum
was fraction over SdS, and the daily av-

stated in my inaugural message that in
many localities there we,e inequalities of
assessment and violations Of the law which
demanded legislative action, that unfair
valuations were made by some of the local
tax assessors, and that there should be
some tribunal beyond local control, with

Making total amount paid 70 New Jer-
sey pensioners during six months, ST7I,-
l6l So At the time Of issuing the last re-
port there were 1854 pensioners on the
New Jersey pension ROLL so that there is
annually coming into the state through
pensions about s., 10000.
1t appears by the official report of June
30, 1890, that during the previous twelve
months the general gogernment paid
s., ,056, 700-45 to claim agents on account of
fees allowed them by Law. have been
unable to ascertain what portion of this
sum was taken out of moneys that would
otherwise have been paid 90 soldiers in this
state.
In view Of the fact that these claim
agents in so many cases absolutely neglect
their duties to the claimant, and leave him
to make out his case rs best he can without
their aid, trust that congress will pass
some act to protect the soldiers, and make
ID impossible for these agents To collect
these sums when they have refused to give
proper attention TO the case. a large p0r-
tion of the work in the adjHtant generals s
Office il caused BY the neglect Of these
claim agents. The state is appealed to con
tinually to assist veterans when the agents
have failed to prepare documents or give
proper attention to the case. The state in
many cases does the labor, and the pension
is paid By reason OF the work done under
the direction of the governor, but the
agent receives the same fees as il he had
attended to the case.

hands of the state treasurer of S3s5l0.53.l

ration Day Speeches.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
As Catholic protest against the action Of
the authorities OF the Soldiers home (near
lexington, d. CO. in permitting the orator Of
each annual Decoration day celebration to de-
liver a small-sized philippe against the Catho-
lie church. The Hon. Clinton Lloyd in his
Decoration day speech forgot that there are
about 400 Catholic soldiers out of total of
about 700 in the home. Nevertheless he had
the audacity to tell to the faces of these 400
Catholic soldiers that they must be made to
understand that liberty does not consist in
breaking down the most beneficent system
OF public instruction that ever pleased
mankind under the himsy pretext of
religious freedom" An obvious reference
to the Catholic church. although the Catholic
church does not wish ITO break down the sys-
tenn in the sense that the honorable gentleman
would have her. But this is not the place to
discuss the Catholic or public school questions;
all wish to do in this letter is to impress on
the minds of fair-minded readers the injustice
OF forcing Catholic soldiers to listen to mar
ow-minded bigotry and ti-Catholic insult
over the graves of their Catholic comrades.

swered that they feared expulsion, else would
they strenuously object So much for the living,
and as for the dead Catholic soldiers buried in
the cemetery. they are silent. But in their ST.
lence they speak more eloquently the services
they rendered to their country Nor is Mr..
Lloyd the only one. The orator of
the preceding annual celebration enumerated
the dangers to the republic and among them
was found manism''-another gross insult
to the Catholic soldiers Now. ask, is this to
continue? II 1t is, as a Catholic protest and
appeal to the authorities to have Justice done,
