The proposed increase Of penalty
In the cases OF convicted bank Of
f1cials, as provided for in the bill
before Congress, fills long felt
want. These rascally bank officers
who take advantage Of their posi-
lions to swindle the public should
be brought to terms, and nothing
will be so effectual as a fine that
impoverlsh>s them and long term
in the penitentiary. This kind OF
stealing is the meanest on earth
and there is no punishment too
severe for the thief.

A very interesting report Of the
Superintendent OF the Southwes-
tern Lunatic Asylum reaches this
Office. The report shows that tho
institution is in good working con-
dition, but cramped for the room
that the last legislature of the
state refused an appropriation for /;
that the health Of the inmates is
exceptionally good, the death rate
being lower than in similar insti-
buttons; that the work Of the asy-
lum farm, Notwithstanding the
severe drouth, has been quite re.
munerative; that the Friday even
ing entertainments have been pre-
ductive of much good; that dona-
lions Of books and magazines and
papers have been received and that
more would be welcome; that the
officers and employees of the asylum
have been very prompt and eff
cient in their services, and that on
the whole the institution is in
very creditable condition, doing
its work faithfully and humanely
and under such government as is
approved Of the best direction.

SINCE the tariff bill passed the House
with such promptitude the know-it-all
repub lican journals have ceased their
senseless predictions about "split par
ty' and an ''unruly Congress-" There
is great deal about this democratic ad-
ministration that the g o. p. organs have
vet to learn.-Moscow Democrat.
1t is nonsense to speak OF this Con-
gross as unruly. On the contrary, it is
very submissive 70 the autocratic will of
the stuffed prophet, who seems to own
the democratic members, body, soul and
breeches. They obey him like 50 many
slaves, and his will is supreme authori-
ty. For the first time in more than 80
years the democracy is in absolute con-
troll OF both the executive and legislative
branches Of the government, and from
the day that it went into power the con-
dition OF the country has been steadily
growing worse
