down on a gang Of some thirty crap

trels store. just outside Of the city

the scene Of the festive game. John
Washington and Tom Nelson were the
only offenders. who at present have their
view limited by the bars of the city

Warrants are out for number Of
others. This is a favorable resort for a
notorious gang Of young negro tOughs.
and 1t is unsafe for ladies TO pass the

of Fulton to break up this nuisance.
Justice Larus and Constable Samuels

In good deal of the legislative discus
sion with regard to the care of the insane
the fact seems to have been overlooked that
the insane of the state are not so many
paupers who are to be kept housed and
clothed at the lowest possible cost, but that
they are unfortunate men and women
whose peculiar form of illness and disabil-
ity is entitled to treatment which is at least
as considerate and skillful as though it was
purely physical in its nature. 1t is not a
question whether the soul and body of those
people can be kept together at a cost of
81. Is a week apiece, but what means can
be used for the cure of those who are cura-
BILE, and how far the burden of their condi-
tion can be ameliorated for those who are
incurable. 1t is on this basis that every
enlightened state and nation now proceeds
in the care of its insane. 1t is for this pur-
pose that commodious buildings are erected
and means of indoor and outdoor diversion
provided, with tasteful grounds, parks,
walks, drives, summer cottages, and various
other adjuncts. The question of iudicious
economy has to be considered, but it is not
a question of bringing the cost of mainte-
nance down to poor-house basis. When
the state asylum at Waterbury was begun
it was fOregone conclusion that in the
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1894-11-23

end it would be increased to such dimen-
sions that the state would care for substan-
TALLY all its insane there, but no one who
considers the matter on its broad and hui
name side will make the saving of little
money more or less per week the main ar
gument for completion, if this is to involve
a loss of means for making life tolerable to
afflicted human beings. Our Montpelier
correspondent, in his review of the matter
as presented before the legislature, mem
tions the essential fact that, in estimating
the per capita cost of maintenance at Wat
erbury, no account is made of the interest

Official returns of the vote of Pennsyl-
vania show that, as compared with the
presidential vote of 1892, the Republicans
gained IS, 100 votes, the Peoples party
10, $50, and the Socialist Labor party $50,
while the Democrats lost Is, $50 and the
Prohibitionists 1868. Study of these fig
ures leads the Philadelphia Ledger to the
conclusion that zone Democrat out of ey-
cry four either refused to vote or voted for
the opposition and "there is good reason
to believe that this was the case all over
the country, and accounts for the sweeping
Democratic defeat"

than that of Curtin in 1860 and 227, 600

lamater in 1890 was 1854, or 22G, 900 less
than that of Gen. Hastings In fact, to
find the nearest approach to the Pennsyl-
vania plurality of this year, we must go
back to 1926, when Gov. Schultze led his
opponent by 70,545 votes, but these figures
lacked 10000 of touching the plurality of
Gen. Hastings.

The attempt to introduce reindeer into
Alaska from Lapland is proving a success.
The animals are thriving finely, and the
Laplanders imported by the government to
teach the EsqumauX how to raise and train

Port Clarence last spring, and there are
now some $50 reindeer in the herd there
Next January two herds of 100 each are tc
be turned over to the natives. The sue,
cessful Introduction of the reindeer has
solved the problem of what will become Of
the EsquimauX when all the seals have dis
appeared.
