RnIId an Asylum.

On Monday two more uafortunatcs
we're adjulged lunatics by a proper
inry aud sent to an asylum for the in
SINE q, the expense Of the rounty.-
Incluling these two, we have had tire
such cases during the past twelve months.
There are now confined in the different
insane asylums in the STAG 10 pa
hents from this county, for which
the county pays $3.50 each per annum.
making total cost every year, the
enormous sum Of 81, 400.
It is our bounded duty as christians
to care for these poor people who by
reason Of their inferior minds caanot
care for themselves, but We owe it to
ourselves at the same time TO do it
as cheap as possible. Is this being
done? We think not. 1t is our opin-
ion and the opinion Of many others
that we can care for our insane at home
equally as well and much cheaper than
by sending them elsewhere. An
ASYLUM eau be built at some cOnve-
nient point on tie railroad FOR reason
able sum wherein such persons could be
confined and cared for at much less
sum than is now being expended; and
there are other advantages, also, to be
derived from such plan. Many OF
our citizens would fnd employment, a
market, even though small, would be
made for the farmers, in fact, every
cent expended in supporting the instltu-
ton would find its way back in the
pockets of the tax payers. who paid n
in the first instance. Patients, too,
can be taken from other counties of the
State as is done by other institutions
and there is a reasonable profit in every
one taken at $3.50 piece per annum.
Frederick, one Of the live COUNTIES
Of the western portion Of the State fully
considered this question and found it t.

OF all the reports that have found
their way into local priq. that enc in l
morning paper to-day that Alr. Cleve-
land would refuse to be a candidate for
the Presidency has excited the utmost
degree of cachination among the politi-
clans.
When an evening local paper the 9th
err day announced that Mr.. German was
going to make statement deprecating
the use Of his name in connection with
the Democrl tic nomination and urging
all hands to be for Cleveland, there was
o smile that could be heard all over the
Capitol.
Now that the announcement comes
that Mr. Cleveland is not and will not
be a candidate, there is laugh so ro-
bustious that the Goddess of Liberty in
the dome feels insecure in her position
and is inclined 20 ask for an aprro 9ria-
ton to strengthen her foundation.
The idea that Mr. Cleveland. who has
been going up and down the earth for
the last two years seeking a rcuomina-
ton and crying alouG from the house
tops that he needs one in his business,
announcing at this stage that your can
didate | cannot be, is something so ex-
eruciatingly funny to folks that the
hyenas now in the small National Zoo
are thinking Of weeping instead of laugh
ing.
And. again. the idea that Mr.. Clevc-
land should say that he Hid not want to
be longer "in it strikes people in the
same manner as if the man who usually
wants twenty-five cents for nights
lodging" should offer to the wayfarer
that sum out of his own pocket.
A prominent Democratic member of
the House. il laughing away the absur-
dity of the report that is herein discuss
ed, and in mentioning Mr.. Cleveland 5

Some of the railroad companies are
adopting a novel machine to detect de-
fects IN their track. 1t is a car with
clock like mechanism inside which as
the car goes over the track, records
every bad rail Ifthe rails have spread
the thirty second part of an inch beyond
the standard width, or there is loose
joint Or defective connection, the ma
chine notes it all down, as well as the
distance from one place to another. -
Formerly this work was done by an
army of men called track-walkers Now
7 single machine does it with unfailing
accuracy. 1t is proposed to develop the
invention, so as to combine the detective
mechanism of the car with an ordinary
coach, so that mechanical examination
of the track can he made by regular
trains.

The utter indifference of Cinnamon to
the suferings Of their fellow beings was
well illustrated recently during the
burning of a river steamer on the
Yangtse Kiang river. A Chinse gun
boat lay near the burning vessel with
steam up, and notwithstanding the fact
that over four hundred Chinese were
imperiled, they made not the slightest
attempt to save their countrymen, but
permitted them to perish like rats. while
the few survivors who succeeded in
reaching shore were robbed of what lit
tie clothing they had.

The point which his story illustrated
was that Proclaimiug slavery abolished
would not abolish it; that the institution
could be ended only by the exercise of
an Executive power backed up by arma-
ments greater than the Federal Govern
ment thea possessed.
The profoundly philosophic witticsm
of Lincoln is Strikingly applicable at the
present time as an answer to the vision

Women wear a pair Of riding trous-
ers under their habit skirt, and when a
stiff breeze is blowing as much is some
times seen of TIE undergarment as if no
skirt was there. The same women who
would shudler at bestriding a horse
think nothing of wearing tights at an
amateur performance, or hibiting THEN
charms to such an extent in evening
dress that one wonders whore the body
of the dress can be. So that, after all,

Golden Gate.

Tourist on the first Pennsylvania
Railroad tour to the Golden Gate, left
New Orlelns last week, after Witnessing
the great Carnival Of Mardi Gras Their
special train has provoked the greatest
admiration and the most favorable com
ments from the Southern people, owing
10 its palatial equipment. Letters from
the tourists en- route TO friends at home
are full of expressions of delight in re-
gard to the trip. The second tour,
which will leave Philadelphia Tuesday,
March Bird, is filing up rapidly, due in
grea: measure to the desire Of many to
be in California in the delightful season
of early spring. The route taken for
the second tour west traverses the States
Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mex
leo, and Arizona, entering the American
Utopian State California from the South,
while east bound it takes the same route
as the first tour. Stops Of longer OF
shorter duration are made at all the
prominent poiats en- route in both direc-
tons. The rate is remarkably low, be.
ing but $275, yet including Pullman
Palace Car accommodations meals, AM
several side trips. The descriptive itin.
erary may be procured upon application
to George W. Boyd, Assistant Genera
Passenger Agent. For those who antici
pate joining this second tour application
for space should be made at once, as th,
number to be carried is limited.
