The care Of the feeble minded was

The care Of the feeble minded was
considerd by the conference of chart
ties and corrections, at Milwaukee
on Thursday of last week. The mat
ter was brought up in the form of a
committee report submitted by Albert
Salisbury, president of the Whitewater
normal school. The purport of the
report is we'll expressed in the follow,
ing sound propositions which it con,
tanned:
1.-THE state should systematically
care for and train It's feeble minded
for the same reason that 1t educates
the deaf and dumb and the blind.
1.-THE state should support It's feeble
minded for the same reasons which
demand the care Of the insane.
"Thc state should hasten to care for
the feeble minded as measure OF self
preservation, for the greater health,
physical and moral, OF the body social. "
In the discussion which the read
ing of the report the fact was
brought out that Wisconsin Is the
only one of the larger states with
out an institution for the feeble
minded. Prof. Salisbury and Others
have time and again presented to
the legislature the strongest reasons
why an asylum for the feeble minded
should be established. Twice has
such measure been passed by both
senate and assembly, and twice has it
been vetoed 1t Is to be hoped that it
will be again passed by the legislature
of 1895, and that Gov Upham will
add his executive approval.

OUR GOOD CREDIT.

The Milwaukee journal thus calls
attention few important facts
The people who prolessed to think
that the secretary Of tho treasury
would have hard time in getting
subscriptions to the new bond issue
are probably willing to admit by this
time that Uncle Sam has unlimited
credit, and that he has but to ask for
what he wants to get it. The fact
that the offers for the $5O,0O0,OOO in
bonds are equal to more than three
times that amount and all at rates Of
premium which would bring down the
actual rate of interest paid to 3 per
cent shows that the government
credit Is of the best, not only ut home,
but abroad.
A considerable portion of the syndi-
cate subscription to the entire loan, or
rather the offer to take it all, came
from abroad where there is no question
of politics to cloud the matter. There
are II few people in this country,
though the number Is very limited,
who really believe that the country Is
going to tho dogs whenever the
opposite party gets porsition of the
government. The great majority of
the people have confidence in the
patriotism of the whole people, and,
though they differ rs to national
policy on many questions, they do not
carry tho thing 50 far, except in, their
campaign enthusiasm, as to think that
those who oppose them on such ques-
tions of policy want to ruin the
country.
We get into the slouth of hard
times once in II while but this is some
thing common to all nations. But the
people of this country have IN abind-
ing faith in It's future, and that faith
Is our national salvation. We con
tend for the mastery In politics, but
after the battle is over we all 60 to
work together, us far rs we can, to
realize the fun benefits Of popular
government. The country never
needs saving, for it is safe all the
time, and the large subscriptions the
new bond issue abundantly prove the
fact.

Rio De Janeiro, Feb. 11.-There We're
forty-hve deaths here yesterday from
yellow fever and fifteen deaths from
other feyers. The United StatS
cruiser New York has gone to SEA SUD
denly. 1t is suspected that she Is
tainted with fever.
Only seven foreign warships are here
present and little is doing. The
spread Of yellow fever is causing much
alarm among the foreign population.
There is absolutely no truth i'll the
sensational report circulated to the ef-
feet that one of the rebel warships re-
Gently fired on Il steam launch be
longing to the United States cruiser
Newark.
The Santuit, the steamship COM
manded by Capt. Surges, which arrived
at Pernambuco Jan. 20, towing the
Brazilian torpedo boat Pirating, for
merly the Destroyer, arrived here dur
ing the past night with 21O passengers
on board.
Considerable curiosity as we'll as as
constituent is expressed at the fact
that the much talked of cruisers
Nictheroy aud America, lifted out in
New York, lave been so inactive. In
the first place the Nictheroy never IN
tended to engage with the Aquidban.
1t was proposed that she should silence
Villegaignon from behind the entrance
to the harbor, and then, seeking protec-
ton behind Villegaignon, destroy the
rebel fleet 1t was impossible to carry
out the plan, however, owing to the
facility with which the rebel ships
passed in and out of the harbOr. Sub
sequent inactivity of PeiNoto'S fleet
was due to non-arrival of ammunition.
The Associated Press correspondent
has been assured that the dynamite
gun on the Nictheroy is in perfect
working condit ON and that both the
Nictheroy and America have crews
sufficient to fight. BY this time the
vessels have received supplies of am
munition, and both are in good fighting
trim.

HOW NERD:CTS ARE MADE.
Evidence Cuts Very Little Figure with
the Juries i'll Many Gases.

Boston Trans .ript-The recent de-
cision of the Massachusetts supreme
court that verdicts reached by casting
lots can not stand has brought out
many stories OF delinquencieS in the
jury room. One OF them, which has
been well vouched for is as follows.
A poor man Sued 4 corporation for
damages, and the evidences offered by
him was so unsatisfactory that the
judge, in charging the jury. practically
told them it was their duty to find for
the defendant. They retired, and, in
spite of the evidence, their first ballot
stood eleven for the plaintiff and one
for the defendant. The lone juryman
endeavored to persuade the others that
Ghere was no evidence in favor Of the
plaintiff, when lie was stopped by the
remark: Dbl the evidence. The
plaintiff is Il Door man and the defend
ant a rich company. Let's give him Il
little of their money. They'll never
feel it, But" interrupted the con-
scientious jurymal the judge as much
us told us to find for the defendant"
TO - with the judge" was the an
swer. The defendant poor man."
Several of the iurymen then sat down
to play poker against the time when
the scrupulous juryman should surren-
der, which, unable to resist the press
ure brought to bear on him, he finally
did. 1t is high time that steps were
taken to make the jurymen of this
country approach a little more nearly
the judicial ideal which has been de
scribed as twelve good men in a box"
This can not be accomplished, however,
until every man, whatever his position
or the importance of his business, is
compelled to perform his turn of duty
without favor or exception in any in
stance whatever

cut the rags more than half an inch
wide and instead of cutting the differ

old way, cut them about forty inches

New York Post-Thc magnitude Of

of land known as THE bottoms" may
be judged from the fact that the annual
salary list to pay less than 800 men
who act as buyers is more tlran
Sl0O0,0O0. Each "I the eight packing
houses has Two or three special cattle
buyers to whom large salaries are paid
and the sums received by the agents of
commission houses are more than the
majority of professional men earn
The big houses pay their special men
from $1,000 to $4,000 Il year The
latter is considered TO be only proper
equivalent for the services Of one man
who confines his purchases to sheep
Fifty of the buyers, it is said, receive
more money each year than the GOV
crnor of Kansas, whose compensation
is $1,000, The exchange building
where buyers md dealers meet is an
immense rambling structure, dingy in
appearance, dimly lighted, and roughly
equipped. Here are Il host of men, made
up of stockmen and buyers, swarming

FEATHERS AND PLUMES.

l should like to hear from the Society
for the Protection of Birds, which l
commended the other day to the no
tice of my lady readers. why the only
birds feathers the wearing OF which
they countenance are the plumeS of
the ostrich, y lady tells me that she
has decline FL invitation to join the
society because it does not protect the
ostrich ,anu and Justification of her de-
cision she gives the following account
of the plucking of ostriches on a feath-
er farm. If the facts are accurate
think that they fully prove her case:
'"The good ladies who belong to this
society, and who condemn as cruel the
simple mercy Of death, should go to
the ostrich farm near Cairo-I believe
the largest there is-and hear from
those in charge I description of the
annual feather gathering. The first
year Il bird is plucked he can be easily
caught and thrown by one man. The
feathers are then wrenched, bleeding,
from his tortured body, after which the
marabout and down are torn off.

Guilty, and it takes six men to throw an
old bird. 1T IS very hard plucking,' we
are told, the feathers are bedded so
tight in the flesh ] asked if it would
not do as well to Clip off the feathers
close and was told that dealers will
only buy those with the perfect quill. All
the undressed feathers offered for sale
on the farm had blood on the quilts,
and we were told that when the annual
plucking takes place the shrieks of the
birds can be heard to a great distance
in the still air.

to bar ostrich fe1thers,' even if they
indulge in a wing manufactured from
the discarded plumage of u well-fed

DAVE LITTLE'S OLD-FASHIONED
FEAST.

David T. Little is constant habitue
of Chamberlin's when in Washington.
He is taking life easy now and living
on the fat of the land. He has farm
in this state which raises the finest
corn. hogs and cattle in the country.
He has GOT tired of the un-American
and imported custom of course dinners
and entered his emphatic protest
against it last week. He says it is a
fashionable plan to Starve a man to
death. SO he sent out to his farm for
80 pounds of pork, spareribs, sides,
backbone and tenderloin, chickens.
turkeys, sweet and Irish potatoes, eel
cry and ''fiXins," and had John Cham
berlin cook half Of them into 4 dinner.
Then he invited all his union cronies
and gave them a good square meal.
Two days later he had the rest cooked
and invited all his Old confederate
friends in. He didn't dare mix them.
for there is no telling what brave men
will do when they get a good meal un
der their belts. There were Joe Black
burn and half dozen more old-imerS
of the same sort, and everything was
brought in and put on the table at once,
in the good old-fashioned way, so they
could tell what there was to eat and
plan their campaign accordingly. And
the way they ate was caution. 1t see1-
ed as though none of them had had :
square meal for three months. The
spare rib and turkey and chicken and
''fxins" simply disappeared like a
snowbank in July. Senator Blackburn
was telling a Washington Post man
about it afterward. Z was having a

story, but it does not matter.
