CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
In the DEPARTMENT of Charities and Correction
I am clearly of the opinion that the care of the
INDECENT should be separate from the discipline
Of those who have broken the Law. To continue
to those Incapable OF self-suprort and prohibits the
best results from being obtained from corrective
discipline. The care OF the insane ia this county
should pass TO the State. This city not only pays
large portion CO the States expenses IN caring caring
but pays additionally for the support OF It's own
EXCISE REGULATIONS.
The subject Of Excise regulation is one on which
there has teen and always will be VIDE
differences OF opinion among our most thoughtiu'
and lawabding citizens. From cursory eSa mn,
