THE ST1TIrS INNINE.

The annual report OF the State Commission
in Lunacy was presented to the Legislature
last evening, and an abstract Of il j. published
on another page. This report. which is worthy
of attention from many points Of view, will
doubtless chiefly interest Qgr lawmakers and
the public generally for wat it has 10 offer
concerning the new policy touching the treat
ment of the insane which the state adopted
last winter. 1t is provided in the law of 1890
embodying the new poicy-thc policy of State
carc-that in most respects It's mandates shall
be carried out by the Lunacy Commission. The
report shows what progress has been made by
the Commission in giving practical effect to the
law il meets the leading objections which have
been directed at the new policy; it presents
figures which 90 to show that the cost of the
necessary additional accommodations on the
State Asylum grounds viii not exceed 100000,
and it makes a strong appeal 10 the members
of the Legislature not to repeal or modify the
law of 1890.
One section of the report is devoted to recon-
mendati0ns, and the first OF these is &" that the
sum of S45i, $50 be appropriated for the cree
ton and equipment of additional buildings on
the grounds Of the State hospitals to provide
accommodations for the insane poor Of the re-
Spoc;iye hospital districts pursuant to and in
the manner prescribed by section Of chapter
1876 of the laws OF 1890" This is .hc law re-

Adirondack Park Commission to succeed the
Forest Commission. The investigation OF the
latter ordered by the Assembly last week IS to
be begun to-day. and it is irtimated that some
Democrats high in authority are thus rushing

one point: WHY did the Assembly pass the
resolution ordering the investigation by a

Mr. Miner recently United States Minister
to Central America, has returned to his home
in California. and has signalized his return by
making public what he terms his official de-
fence in the Barrundia case. Only brief
summary of this official defence" is tec-
graphcd from san Francisco. From this ii ap-
pears that Mr.. Miner alleges that Mr.. Baines
letter Diminishing him was given to the press
three weeks before it reached him and two
weeks before Congress met" We do not
know when the letter of recall reached the
Minister, but on the latter point he is in woiul
error Mr. Blaine's letter was not given to
the press two weeks before Congress met. The
first knowledge of Mr.. Miners recall was COM
inundated to the public through President Har-
rison's message on the day Congress met; and
the correspondence relating to the Banundla
affair was transmitted to Congress by the Pres

II is intimated that the British Parliament is
about TO institute an inquiry as to how many
luxurics the Board OF Admiralty are furnished
at Government expense. This is suggested py a
report that a number Of turtles, which were beng
brought from Ascension to Portsmouth by the
war-yesscl WE for tie Lords Of the Admiralty
and other distinguished persons were frozen to
death of Portsmouth, As all luXurics cost
money and rs it is reported that the voyage OF
the Wye from Ascension was solely for the trans
poration Of these turtles the people want TO
learn how many perquisites Of this nature are
enioyed by the Lords and other distinguished
persons" The Lords Of the Admiralty are paid
handsome salaries. and the Members Of Parliament
see no reason why their pay should be supple
mcnted by providing turtles for conversion into
soup A mathematician has estimated that the
cost Of this soup TO the British Government Is
about s. plate, hence it is likely that these
distinguished persons will have to pay for their
own turtle-soup in the future

The spectacle of Governor Hills Assembly
oassng a resolution to investigate the Federal
census is decidedly refreshing one. 1t has
taken a good deal of effrontery for Mr. IiiIi'
after his annulment by two vetoes OF the con-
stitutonal requirement that State census
should be taken in 1885 to return to the sub
ject in his messages year after year. Now to
exalt himself above the United States Govern
mcnt and order an investigation" Of the
Eleventh Census is phenomenal exhibition Of
"cheek." The Governor ought to let censuses

Mr.. Depew never speaks in public without
saving something worth hearing. In his speech
at the police dinner last night he made good
natured plea which is at the same time I'M
answerabe, in behalf of a non partisan Police
Board. 1t was an outrage upon the people Of
New-Yorl that their Mayor should have vo-
lated the unwritten law of years by reducing
the Republican representation in the Board to
one and should then have successfully offered
himself for reelection. A Police Board of four
Tammany adherents is an easy possibility Of
the near future.
