Attorney General Miller has made a
report to Congress in regard to the
business of the Department of Justice
during the last fiscal year, showing
that the business of the department is
continually and largely increasing.
This increase, he says, is most notice
able in the business before the Court of
Claims. The reference to that court,
for investigation and findings, of claims
for the taking and injury TO property of
persons assuming to have been loyal
during the war, such claims being
already between 5000 and 10000 in
number and amount aggregating
nearly $400, 900, 900. With reference to
those southern claims the Attorney
General says: "a very large proportion
of these claims have no just founda-
ton either in fact or law, being pre-
sented by persons, or the representa-
tives of persons, who were not loyal to
the government during the war is every
day made clear in the evidence evolved
in their defense. Unless congress shall
put some new barrier between the
treasury and these claims it is impos-
sible to predict the amount the govern
ment may be called upon to pay there

A great hue and cry has from time to

The Michigan ASYLUM.

With each recurring session of the
Legislature come exaggerated, sensa-
tional and, in the main, unfounded
charges against attendants at the
Michigan Asylum for the Insane at Kali
amazoo of alleged cruelties practiced
by them upon the inmates under their
care. Such charges are easily made,
very generally believed, and difficult to
disprOve to the satisfaction of the many
who seem to desire that they should be
found to be true.
People naturally dislike to send
their unfortunate relatives and friends
to an insane asylum, and the reputation
which even baseless complaints give
such an institution only intensi6es the
situation. This is most unfortunate.
A personal acquaintance with the
officials of the asylum, visits made to it
under varied circumstances, coupled
with the results of past Investigations,
satisfy us that there is no good reason
why it should be believed that anything
other than the most humane treatment
is or will he accorded to every patient
admitted to participation in its benefits
Every precautiOn is taken in the en-
plOyment of attendants to secure those
who are of even temper and humane
dispositions. OF course, mistakes are
occasionally made which cannot be
rectified until discovered. 1t must be
remembered that attendants are not
unfrequently in danger of great bodily
harm and even of death at the hands of
the patients under their charge, and
being only human, do not always and
under all circumstances maintain that
equanimity of temper or conduct them
selves in every emergency as is most
desirable.
1t is safe to say, however, that the
patients as whole fare as well, if not
better, at the hands of asylum attend
ants than they would be likely to at
home under the visitation of insanity;
and superficial examination of the
institution and its regulations will
satisfy any reasonable person that the
great majority of the unfortunates sent
to this asylum have more comforts,
better care and kinder treatment than
could possibly, in view of the nature of
their affection, be accorded tn em else
where.
OF course, a thorough investigation
should be made of every charge of
cruelty or neglect of duty brought to
notice, and proper punishment meted
out to any attendant or official found
guilty of such conduct. We are glad to
record that under the present manage
ment this is promptly done.
Daniel hewitt, an attendant who
lately confessed that he had brutally
treated patient, has been discharged
from his position and will be fortunate
if he escapes a criminal prose cution. If
half that is charged as against him be
true, he certainly should not escape
severe punishment.

There is Balm in Gilead."

The Ecening NeWs has, without
mincing the matter, exposed the re-
prehensible machine methods which
have been adopted by the friends of the
aspirant from Gilead in his canvass as
an anti-money bag peoples candidate
for the United States Senate.
We have before alluded to the pecu-
liar literature that has emanated from
the office of would-be Senator Luce's
campaign committee at Grand Rapids.
The NeaCS has from time to time
published specimens of some of the
letters and confidential circulars which
have been placed where it was thought
the most good could be accomplished
by Mr.. Luce's henchmen and has shown
that these communications have not
only been sent to Republicans but, by
evident mistake, to representatives of
the Democracy also.
One of them, circular which was in
tended to capture the country press,
runs as follows:
For u. 5. Senator from Michigan.
Cyrus G.. Luce.
Office of the Committee,
II 5. Ionia st.
Grand Rapids, Mich. Dec. 3, 1892.
To Publisher of
Michigan.
Dear Sir:-From nearly every locality
of the state evidence comes to us that
the election of Cyrus G. Luce to the
Senate of the United States is desired
by large majority of the Republicans.
Ii this is true in your community, aud
you think proper to voice the sentiment
through the columns of your paper,
will you please mail to me at the above
address the initial copy of your advocacy.
EX-Gov. Luce, as you are aware, has
no surplus means, but his friends will
cheerfully provide for the expenses in
cidental to bringing the attention of
members elect to the wishes Of our peO-
pie. Please favor this committee with
an early reply
Yours respectfully,
-Secy."
Another addressed to members elect
of the Legislature is as follows:
Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. -.
Hon.
Dear Sir:-The friends of Gov. Luce
will take measures to ascertain the SEN
timent of the Republicans of district
where the representative desires such
action. Wherever we have done this
we have found that about 80 per cent
of the Republican voters were favorable
towards Gov. Luce. Would it aid you
any in determining your course in the
senatorial matter, if Gov. Luce's cam
paign committee should make can
vass of your district? The committee
has no large bank account To draw upon,
but have taken this course where mem
bers have said they would like to ascer-
tain, definitely, the sentiment of their
district. Yours very truly,
