THE cONSUVu1TIOV ORA GREAT REFORM

THE CONSUNuITION Or A GHEAl NEfOh+h'
Governor Hill has signed the bill which makes
an appropriation for the purpose OF carrying INTO
effect the law which was passed at the last scS-
sion transferring the paupcr insane from county
f. state asylums. The amount appropriated is
Sl5i.S5O The bin directs that the money
shall be apportioncd SO as to provide additional
accommodations for the insane at the state nos
pita,s in Utica. Hudson, Middletown, Buffalo
and Bingbamton. When this is done the hos
pitals can take care of S27 more patients dis
tIibuted as follows to Utica 80, to hudson
600. TO Middletown 200, to Buffalo $40, and to
B~inghamton l2I.
The passage Of this bill is the consl'mmation
of 2 great reform. Those who made the h9hC
nav well congratulate themselves, Tor Ill q COM
paratively short space OF time they nave won q
notable victory for civilization in the lace or
bitter opposition. The bill providing for making
the pauper insane a State charge was first PFC
sentcd in the Legislature OF 1883 and was
awarded but scanu courtesy. In the Senate 1t
died in committee. In the Assembly it Jared
scarcely better, the committee having IL III
charge washing their hands OF 1t with n re-
port for consideration" But the treatment
which the bill received did not discourage the
State Charities Aid Society, which was behind
IL. The society merely redOubled its cXertiOnS
and returned to the battle in the Legislature OF
1889 with undaunted courage. That year the
bill made substantial progress. The Senate
passed il, and although it failed III the Assem-
bly. its promoters had the consolation OF know
ING that it was favored by The most publlc-Splrlt-
ed members of that body, and that a large
majority of those who were arrayed against 1t
were county officials inspired by selfish cohsid-
~erations which were perfectly well understood
by all concerned. by the time the Legislature
of last wear assembled the public sentiment De-
hind the measure was too strong to be resisted
Every medical and philanthrcplc society III the
State was enrolled among its supporters, WHILE
with the exception of the county SupcrintendentS
of the poor, who naturally dlSapproFeu ol d
measure which curtailed their significance there
was practically no opposition. Accordingly the
bill got through both houses without any diil-
Guilty and the Governor promptly signed 1t. But
those who engineered it through, thinking II
hest not 10 take any chances, decided To post
! ponc asking for an appropriation to carry IL Ihlo
effect until the present session. With the pas
SAGE of the bill which has just been signed Their
laborS end.
1t is a peculiarly gratifying result one that
is full of encouragement for all who arc waginS
a warfare in behalf OF any great non-paltlSar
reform. And while il is impossible to mention
all TO whom credit il due IN the matter, it will
be generally conceded that the name OF the state
Charities Aid Society is entitled to stand irSt on
the roll OF honor.

NEUFOUNDLIND'S Troubles GROWING.

Lord Knutsford's Coercion Act undertaking
TO enforce in Newfoundland not merely the old
treaties by which the cOlonists are 50 emOar-
rassed and impeded in their commercial enter
prises, but the new moduS vivendi which Lord
Salisbury has arranged with the French is a
candid confession that the decision last week
rendered by the Colonial Supreme Court was
sound and Just. BY that decision it was estab-
lished that no act existed, either OF the Imperial
Parliament or of the Colonial Legislature, under
which effect could be given to the treaties or
the modus, and that, lacking such Parliamentary
warrant, the Government Of Great Britain was
impotent. Lord IKnutsford's bill supplies this
deficiency. and, of course, the fact OF his Offer
ing it distinctly comedies the falacy Of the
grounds upon which he sought TO defend SIT
Baldwin Walkers acts attempting to carry out
the modus. AS the case now stands England
is bound to secure to France certain privileges
on the shores of Newfoundland. France can
hold her to that engagement by every chain that
compels nations to perform their contracts, and
vet England has no power to perform this one,
and without parliaments reyiyifying decree it
becomes a dead letter.
We must confess to a feeling, Of sympathy
with the British Government. 1t is in a posi-
ton Of the utmost embarrassment. On the one
hand is the colony demanding the absolute ex-
clusion of the French and the complete eXtinc-
ton of all their rights and claims, a demand not
only Just, because essential to their commercial
life, but also necessary, because the performance
of the old treaties has become plainly impos-
sible. On the other hand is France, possessing
undoubted rights as the treaties now stand and
refusing point-blank to surrender any one OF
them. What can England do? She can't buy
out a right which it's owner won't sell. She
can't abrogatc and annul it without abandon
ing all she gained snder the treaty Of which
il was a part. She can't enforce 1T upon a
mutinous colony without inviting revolution.
About the only thing she can do is to temporize,
to delay, to engage in partial and indecisive
arbitration.
The angry ~colonists say with reason that theii
interests are being sacrificed to those Of Eng
land in Egypt that the British Government
could induce the French to pack up and make
off easily enough if It was not so greedy, and
could bring itself into the hunOr of 1elinquish-
ing something tangible for the tangible some
thing required by Newfoundland and they talk
Of appealing to the United States for admission
into the Union. We might be glad to receive
them under suitable conditions. Their county
would be of great practical benefit to us. But
we don't wish to become embroiicd in a quarreI
with either France or England. Our policy OF
a~ccretion is also a policy of peace. We have
nothing to give France except money or bait
Money she would doubtless decline, and bait we
couldn't afford to offer. Annexation, therefore,
