THE STATE CARE ACT.

Interesting information is given to the public
in the annual report delivered yesterday to the
Legislature, of the State Board of Charities.
The operation of the State Care act is described
with particularly, and a plea is entered for its
more thorough enforcement. 1t must be adj
mitted that the time has come when opposition
to the policies declared in this legislation should
cease. Whether they are altogether wise or
not is not now the question. They are
the clear will of the Legislature. variously ex-
pressed, and factious opposition on the part Of
the counties is not permissible. 1t was evident
while the controversy as to the eXpediency Of
giving over the pauper insane 10 the exclusive
care of the State was going on, that other con-
siderations were influencing large number Of
those who took the negative view than the
welfare of the patients. Undoubtedly many
scientific and sincere men regarded the change
with distrust They thought with reasons that
were not to be ignored that chronic and harm
less cases were better and more cheaply dealt
with at home, where the friends Of the patients
could take an interest in their welfare. than
in big institution where the treatment was
mechanical and the discipline rather severe.
This opinion was ably disputed, however, and
was formidable force in deciding the issue
only because the local politicians SO generally
sustained it in their desire to retain control Of
patronage and appropriations. At the last, and
after wears of discussion and lobbying, it failed

The Board expresses continued approval Of
the Cottage Plan, in accordance with which the
State hospitals have been enlarged. The de-
tached buildings are placed near the original
plant, and are designed to accommodates the
chronic and quieter class of patients. A too
great economy has probably been practised in
the failure to purchase considerable tracts Of
farming lands for the better occupation of
these patients. The policy of sequeStration on

FEN or fifteen minutes 1t is radically different
with the country voters. Voting with the
majority of them means the loss of work

not infrequenty happens that the weather Is
stormy and the roads are bad on Election Day
so that the journey 10 and from the poil> Is
BY no means an agreeable one. Nevertheless
the Democratic bosses aim by passing the Dill
in question to compel the farmers TO take TWO
such trips where they now take one. Let the

1t is hard to understand how any member OF
the Legislature from country district. no
matter what may he his politics, can support
such a measure. For it is as truly an anti
farmer bill as would be one providing for the
propagation of the potato bug. In Democratic
platforms and from Democratic stumps the
New-York farmer is treated with distinguished
consideration. 1t is represented that although
he is the most industrious of men. he finds 1t
impossible by reason of the conditions which
encompass him, notably Western competition,
to do more than earn a scant living. And be-
cause his work is so hard and so long and his
pay so poor, Democratic platforms and orators
demand that the State shall help him when
ever and however it lawfully can. But let
this bill pass, which comes between the farmer
and his sacred and inalienable right of voting,
and all professions of regard for the farmer
ON the part of the Democracy will be resolved
into buncombe. Our Albany correspondent
tclegraphed few days ago that two of the
Democratic Senators had stated that they were
opposed to the bill All honor to them. 1t

conspracies aimed at the farmers will not be
tolerated.

DEMOCRACY AND THE FARMERS.

A measure Is pending at Albany which might
properly be characterized rs an act to punish
the farmers of NewYOrk for voting the Re-
publican ticket. That really Is the long and
short of it, 1t provides that the system of
personal registration which is now confined to
the cities shall be extended to the rural dis
trcts Such proposition could have had its
origin simply in the rankest, the most I'M
scrupulous partisanship. There is no genuine
public sentiment behind it. It's enactment into
law instead of promoting the common well
fare would distinctly retard it. 1t is coward
y attempt to cut down the Republican vote in
the interior by rendering the exercise of the
right of suffrage as much of hardship as
possible to the farmers.
What is the sole legitimate object of per-
sonal registration law? To protect the purity
Of the balot-box by guarding against repeat
ers and other bogus voters. 1t is obvious that
such law is needed in the densely populated
cities, where in the nature of things it is i'm
possible for all the voters to know one another
or to be known by the inspectors. 1t is just
as obvious that the law is uncalled for in the
sparsely settled country districts where every
body is acquainted with everybody. Repeat
ers unmitigated rascals, but not being I'M
mitigated fools as well they do not turn IN
at country polling places, realizing that de-
lection would be inevitable. But the proposed
legislation is to be condemned, not only be-
cause it would serve no useful purpose, but
because it would seriously embarrass the farm
ers. The business of registering and voting
in the cities consumes little time and occa-
sons no appreciable Inconvenience to those
who engage in it. On his way up or down

The appearance OF two Democratic Judges Of
