Reform at Morris Plains.


Among the reforms effected by the
Democracy in State affairs none is
more important than that of the man
agement of the Morris Plains Asylum.
The remodelling of the Board Of Man
ayers of that institution by the Legis-
lature was bitterly opposed by the
Republican press. The reason is now
apparent. The former Republican
management was imbecile and cor
rupt, and, Of course, exposure is one
of the consequences Of the change.
The new managers found general
disqualification and a shiftless system
of bookkeeping. They had to begin
their regime by retunding moneys to
several counties which had been I'M
lawfully collected. On the other
hand, they found that some counties
had been seriously nndercharged for
their patients. The whole matter,
indeed, was in n middle, for no ac-
The total amount that had to be re-
funded was So, $50; the arrearages col
lected We're 81, 093.
In 1883 an appropriation was made
to the asylum. and on October 10,
1890, the asylum treasurer received
% 1000. The appropriation was made
for improving, ventiiating and recon-
structing certain small buildings. 1t
was made on the express understand
ing that none OF the money should be
expended for any other purpose. The
money paid was put directly into the
house funds and used as such, thus
swelling the resources at the date of
the last annual report by that amount
of cash funds. No part of this appro-
priation has been expended on the OBJ
jent for which it was appropriated,
o has the amount been kept intact
for that purpose, as is shown by the
cash balance on April i, 1890, of
S121.71.
1t looks to us very much as if some
of the virtuous Republican ex-govern-
ors Of the institution ought to be in
dicted for this little transaction.
This was not all. The new manage
ment found the property of the insti-
luton in a ~deplorable condition. The
hog pens We're so filthy that they had
to be burned. Many of the animals
were diseased, and had to be killed or
sold.

Governor ADDettS stewardship.
Governor Abbett's message ought to
be a highly interesting document this
year both to his friends and enemies.
If he has a mind to go into the history
of the last two years and give an ac-
count of his stewardship, he a
make a presentation of facts which
will cover his critics and foes with
confusion and shame. and which will
fill the adherents of Democracy with
Joy and confidence.
The Governor will be able to point
to public improvements made, to
old debts wiped out, to old abuses
reformed, to new and business
like methods established, and, above
all. to a good cash balance in the
State treasury. The Governor found
the State in debt, not only that, but
running deeper and deeper into debt.
He will leave it free from liabilities,
and with money enough to carry on
the government safely for years to
come. This is one of those facts
which cannot be explained away. Re-
publicans and cranks and malignants
may rage and gnash their teeth; but
the people will not pay much atten-
ton to them.
In politics, as in everything else.
one fact is worth a whole newspaper
full of talk, and, this time, the fact is
on the side OF the Governor and his
party.

New York's New Dispensation.

----------
New York's New Dispensation.
The Philadelphia Press is q paper
of a happy disposition, a disciple of
Mark Tapley, as it were. After ad-
hitting that the New York Legisla-
ture was hopelessly lost to the Re-
publican party for years to come, and,
with it, the control of the State on all
State issues and in all State contests,
it deduces the astonishing conclusion
that it will be more easily and fire.
quently carried for the Republican
party on national issues than of old.
Plainly the Press thinks its party in
Pennsylvania stands in need OF every
crumb of comfort it a get. It's
opinions regarding New York politics
are specially manufactured for home
consumption as u sort of tonic
stomach bitters, we suppose.
But the New York Republicans do
not take the same view of the case.
They are a pretty hopeless lot. The
dawn of right and justice is to them
what the dawn of Christian truth was
to the old false gods of the Runic
legend.
The revolution just consummated
was a sort of political 'Gotterdam-
mernng,n and the halls of the Repub-
lican Valhalla now echo only with the
sorrowful shores of the comatose idols
of the Plattite epoch.

Mr.. TyrrelPs dramatization of the re-
markable novel of Robert Louis Steven
son, 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" A
few years ago this weird and intensely
interesting fiction created a great stir in
the literary world, and was the subject of
vast deal of philosophizing upon the
dual lives and characters possible in
human beings. The piece, which is one
OF thrilling interest, was never given

THEY WASTED LITTLE TINE.
A Civil Suit Filed and Disposed of in
One Day.
How Catharine Donovan Kept Her
Bank Account-A Friendly Litiga-
ton before Judge Van Fleet.

Litigation is generally conceded to be a
very slow and costly process, but there
was suit in the Superior Court yester-
day, which for rapid work and quick con-
clusion discounts all predecessors.
1t was the case of c. f. Doherty, execu-
tor of the estate of Catharine Donovan
deceased, against the Sacramento Bank.
The suit was filed in the forenoon, as
signed to Judge Van Fleet, and, all par
ties being ready, was Immediately heard
and disposed of. 1t was what is known
as a friendly suit and was brought simply
for the purpose of settling dispute. 1t
appeared that Mrs. Donovan, the de-
ceased, had on deposit at the Sacramento
Bank at the time Of her death sum of
money. This money had been saved by
her and deposited there before she be-
came, by marriage, Mrs. Donovan. The
bank book showed that the money was
deposited in the name Of Catharine Doher-
ty. After her marriage she did not have
her name changed on the book, and con-
tinued to transact business at the bank
as Catharine Doherty.
After Mrs. Donovan's death G. f.
DOherty was appointed executor OF the
estate. When he went to the bank to
take charge of Mrs. DOnovan's money
the officials refused to give up that of
Catherine DOherty.
The bank officials simply did this for
their own protection, and so intromed
Doherty. There was no trouble on either
side and no hostility shown. 1t was
agreed that an order of court should be
procured directing the bank to pay over
the money, and as a suit was the most
expedient way to get at the matter this
course was adopted.
After hearing the statements of both
sides, Judge Van Fleet rendered judg-
ment in favor of the executor. Doherty,
and the bank was directed to pay the
money over to him.
