THE COUNTY JAIL NO PLACE FOR
LUNATlOS.

Every now and then we pick VI
v a paper and see some account o.
f rumor that some convict has beer
mistreated in some convict camp
but We meyer see any one taking
stand and speaking Of the cruelty
of combining our poor and ~unfortn'
nate lunatics in the common jails
of the country, in an unhealthy at
mosphere, among blact guards,
thieves and murderers. The very
nature of their malady often com.
pels jaiIers (much against their
will no doubt 10 have to confine
them in dungeons or chains. This
treatment is often necessary to
keep them from harming them.
selves or others. Jails have no
cushioned walls, and they are eter-
nally in danger of being hurt or
ofhurting some n else, therefore
the necessity of iron cages or
chains. 1t never enters into the
contract when a Jail is to be bull.
that it is to hold anything but
criminals Or suspected criminals.
If they were convicts, such as re-
ceive so much sympathy al the
hands of the press, perhaps a lit
tie severe discipline would occa-
sionally be necessary, but would
never d. in their Cases.
The State, it is true, has spent a
large sum of money in providing
asylums, but we fear it has not
been spent judiciously. There are
two large asylums, which seem to
be the pride Of the State, but not
enough small ones, something
like our State Universities, they
absorb all the money and abound
in red tape and leave the poor
clod-hoppers to do the best they
can. We should have asylums
more generally scattered over the
country where the unfortunate
can be carried right away and
properly cared for. instead OF ly-
ing six months in a loathsome Jail
awaiting a chance to be sent off.
Outside of this, it is an imposi-
ton on sheriffs to be troubled with
them. In the first place, they are
dangerous and troublesome, and
secondly, officers are seldom ply.
sicians, and consequently know
little or nothing of their wants.
1t is to be- hoped that at the next
session of the Legislature some.
thing practicable will be done for
them.

THE COMING

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of this county, which me-
last Saturday, opened up the plar
of the campaign, and candidate:
and Others in interest can govern
themselves accordingly. The com
mittee has seen proper to recon-.
mend the primary system in defer
ence to the wishes of a large
number our country friends, who
never feel safe in a convention.
Some weeks ago we rather recon-
mended the calling of a conven-
ton, as we thought it the easiest
and quickest way to decide mat
tiers, and we regard one about as
fair as the other, but as we have
no axe to grind, either way will
suit us, and we always endorse the
action of the party when speak
ing through its legally appointed
officers.
1t is to be hoped that the candi-
dates will bestir themselves and
get the people 10 turn out in large
numbers. The people need to be
to a great deal to get them
TO fully understand our new cleo
laws, and tho.e who have an
interest in the mater should see
hat they are fully posted.
So far we have only a few candi-
lates for office announced but in a
short space of time we expect to
zee the woods full of them. To
hose who are tagging back, but
want something. we would say
ONE to the front and take a fair
tart in the race. The people
yant to know who you are, and {
HON they are to choose from. !

CHICAGO July 16.-Grand Master Wilkin-

men, has issued a circular giving the inside
history of the controversy between that or
ganization and the Switchmen's Mutual
Aid association, which eliminated in ths
discharge of all swi,chmen on the lines of
the Chicago d Northwestern railway. The
circular puts the gwitchmen's association in
bad light. 1t says: about two years

because they would not join the

of Frank McNerney, yard master, Mt the

conflict. The matter was brought before

without result. At meeting of represen-

was said that body claimed the right to

hood of Railway Trainmen had no
right in yards, and added that the time is
coming when a man cannot work in any
yard unless he is member of the Switch
mems association.
Grand Master Wilkinson adds that, fail
ing to get satisfaction from either the
switchmen or the federation, the trainmen
appealed to the Northwestern management,
and the result ls known. He gives at
length details of the negotiations from
time to time, and says that. on the part of
the switchmen, it is a record black with
persecution, defiance of law and proprietv.
born with envy at the success of the train
