1HE APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE INSANE

The APPROPRIATION FOR THE INSANE
The Assembly on Monday evening by an
emphatic vote ordered to third reading the
bi making an appropriation for the purpose
of carrying into effect the law passed last year
making the pauper insane Of the State a State
charge. The debate on the motion to order
TO a third reading demonstrated that the mem
bcrs Of Assembly. by 4 large majority and with
on. regard 70 party lines, are convinced OF the
wisdom Of making the appropriation, and are
not to be diverted from doing 50 by any pressure
which may be brought to bear upon them by
those who object to the policy OF State care be-
cause it nterferes with their own not entirely
unselfsh schemes. 1t is to be expected that the
Assembly at an early day will complete its good
work on this bene:cent measure by finally pass
ing it.
1t is useless to repeat the substantial reasons

annoirtment which would require as much explana-

When veteran regular Democratic paper

tn the public thus to antagonize the projected
nomination of a Democratic Governor one Is
warranted in concluding that the nomination Is
\ radically bad one Some of the Republicans
who were reported as being parties to the deal

would save themselves the humiliation of being
repudiated by their Republican constituents.

Lieutenant-Go Governor Jones has been talking
in an unrcstrained way to correspondent OF
The Brooklyn Eagle" and among other things
he whispered in his ear that for the Democratic
party TO set him Jones aside--that is. set aside
his claims to the nomination for Governor-would
be "sucidal' unless he Jones' should commit
some serious error between this time and the
meeting of the next Democratic State Convention
General Jones is evidently in dead earnest. He
has given an impressive warning 10 the Democracy
Of the Empire State. Having done this, ne
must have the consciousness that he has done his
whole duty as a and Democrat. lie can
afford to fold his arms in calmness and let his
party proceed to commit suicide if it chooses
to do so. 1t will plainly not be his fault If it
does.

Mr.. Stadler's bill for allnight saloons in New

the Senate when requested to do so, has been
resting quietly for several days, waiting for the
necessary Democratic majority to get together to
pass it, Advices from Albany indicate that the
supreme effort to force it through the Assemble
will be made to-day. OF it's ultimate passage IN
this house there is no doubt at all. The inter

THE GAME OF LIFE.


THE GAME OF LIFE
This world Is not paradise,
place all milk and honey,
But IT'S considered rather nice
by those who have the money
Hence this makes life gambling game;
II you're not pat you bluff,
And If you win the rest exclaim,
That fellow has the stuff"
The business man will take hand
So will the SPECTATOR,
Likewise the chap who tlls tile land,
Also the legislator.
No matter If the cards are stacked,
And cheating plain enough,
The one who wins IS not attacked,
Because he has the stuff
The games exciting, play runs high,
Gold. fame and love are staked;
The winners laugh, the losers sigh,
still thirst for wealth's unslaled
Go where you will, by night or day,
Where lie is smooth or rough
II yOu'ie a winner they Will say;
"That fellow has the stuff"
It's shuttle and deal
For woe or for veal;
on the cards you hold
stake life for goM
How the devil grins
When the best man wins!

No further action on the Copyright bill was
taken in the Senate yesterday, its friends seem
ing to prefer waiting day or two before again
pushing it TO the front. Other amendments than
the so-caled "chromO" one will probably be
submitted. and the measure will soon be so
heavily freightcd that its successful voyage
through the waters of legislation in the brief
time remaining will be almost impossible. If
the Advocates Of the measure rally in sufficient
force, they ought to he able to strip off the
amendment which now imperils the bill, and

the Russian and German navies are not

at seeing their works not appreciated

A curious detail is that majority OF
these unhappy persons are Finlanders

A Helmet,

An English inventor has devised q
helmet that will enable the wearer to
breathe with safety and comfort in the
midst of an atmosphere heavily charged
with dangerous gases. smoke or noN-
ious fumes. The helmet weighs about
two pounds, and fits over the head after
the fashion OF divers armor. By means
of q suitable connection with rubber
hose air comes into the helmet, and,
after being used, is expelled through a
alive in the top of the helmet. The
bellows that supply the air can be
worked readily by any one within rea
sonabIe distance.
AS the head is entirely protected the
eyes can not be affected by the smoke
or noxious gases, while the light weigh
of the apparatus does not interfere
with the wearer's movements.

has new factor to reckon with-the
soldier, Il new force.
And it is singular that this force
should first have been turned against q
country so distant as the United States.
In 1877 General Ricotti, then Minis
ter of War, brought forward an army
reform bill, making military service
incumbent on all Italians.
An army was formed numbering
$1,000 men in first line, including 200,-
600 men on furlough, with a second
line, or mobile militia, of $50, 900 men,
ora total strength of $50, 900 men. And
these early reforms established Italian
military organization on firm and
lasting basis,
The system remained intact for three
years. Farther Improvements became
indispensable.
The new schemes were presented to
the Italian Parliament in December,
1872, and November, 1878. They def
nitely settled three important points:
|. The reduction of service in the
ranks from five to three years.
2. The one year vOlOntariat.
3. The formation of q territorial mi
ltia.
The territorial militia was only to be
called under arms in peace time for it's
instruction, or for the sake of public
security. In war time it was specially
destined to form the garrisons of the
forts and strong places Of the kingdom
but, if necessary, it can be employed
in field operationsor any other military
service. The territorial militia was to
be called to arms by royal decree.
The latest statistics place the popu-
lation of Italy at about thirty millions.
AT the present rate Of increase and with
existing frontiers, IL has been calcu'
lated that in fifty years it will equa
that OF Austria, surpass that OF France
and maintain it's standard in compare
son with England, Germany and Rus
