CARING FOR THE INSANE.

The approval by Governor Morton Of the Null
lin bill levying n special tax of one mill for the
sunport OF the insane OF the State marks the
beginning of new era for the INDECENT insane
Of this city. The proceeds Of this special tax will
amount TO 81, 292, 0S2, which sum will be devoted
to the support Of all the Insane Of the State in
State hospitals, and for necessary repairs and
additions TO buildings. At least S1,201O0O Of
this sum will be expended for the maintenance
OF the insane Of this city. and an cqui
table proportion Of the allowance will be
allowed for repairs and additions to buildings
This sum is greatly in excess OF the appropria-
tons made by the city In any one year for the
support Of these asyurns and justifcs the hope
that at last our insane may b. properly and hui
namely cared for. Our local asylums have al
ways suffered by contrast with the State hos
pitals. The accomm )dati0ns have been so In
adequate as to prevent proper classification
ami ample opportunities for remedial treatment.
The buildings have been, in many cases, dilapI-
dated and unfit for use; the furniture and equip
ment Of the asylums have been meagre and I'M
satisfactory. and the expenditures for food cloth
Ing and attendance have been reduced TO the
lowest point.

TROUBLE IN THE OVAL EMPIRE

There are serious troubles In Austria Hungary
and menaces Of worse. The Emperor has ac
cepted the resignation Of Count Kalnoky, who
has been Imperial Prime and Foreign Minister
since 1881. The Vatican has not yet recalled
Monsignor AgliaN the misunderstanding Papal
Nnncio though 1t Is rumorcd II will do 3d. making
him n Cardinal by way Of consolation The for
mer incident is to be deplorcd, although II was
certain to come some time this year. anyway.
The latter Is earnestly to be hoped for. and may
In measure ease the situation. or may not. In
any event. the possibilities OF the immediate
future are fraught with gravcst peril. The meet
ing Of the Parliamentary Delegations, the gen
eral expectation Of Ministerial crisis at Vienna.
and the uneasily smouldcrng volcano Of Bo-
hernia. make together with this resignation a
situation so complicated as well to be the de-
spair Of any statesman.
This present trouble has been caused by the
activity OF the Vatican in Austria Hungary; an
activity prompted partly by desire to keep the
Dual Empire from breaking altogether away
from Clerical control, and partly by desire to
ALLEVIATE it from Italy and thus njure the hated
Government at the Quirinal. In Austria the
Clericals have decidedly the upper hand and
when the present Ministry goes to pieces as it
must do soon. they expect to have unchalenged
sway. But IN Hungary the tide has set against
them A lot Of bills for religious liberty and
separation of Church and State were passed de-
spite their utmost opposition. They have there
fore resorted to desperate means to uphold their
failing cause. The Papal Nuncio recently made
a tour through the country. Ostensbly he went
TO visit the Bishops and look after the spiritual
affairs Of the Church. Really, he meddled most
fiagrantly in domestic politics. To this Baron
Banffy. the Hungarian Prime Minister objected.
He was quite willing to recognize Monsgnor
Agliardi as an Ambassador, just as though he
represented a temporal Power But prime
duty OF an Ambassador Is to leave strictly alone
the politics OF the country to which he Is accred-
tied; as Lord Sackvlle could testify. Neither as
n diplomat nor as a prelate, therefore, did the
NuncIo have any right to concern himself with
Hungarian politics.
Baron Banify accordingly wrote to Count Kal-
noky who was Foreign Minister for both Austria
and Hungary, complaining OF Monsgnor Agll-
artiI's conduct and incIosing formal protest or
rcmonstrance TO be forwarded to Rome lie also
stated that the matter would necessarily come
up In the Hungarian Parliament, and that he
should then and there tell what action had been
taken. Now, Count Kalnoky did not altogether

In perfection any more than poverty can be abOl-

other industries and kept there at least year
