Seeking the Abolition OF the Hospital For

BOSTON, Feb. 4. In the senate, Mr.. Ncill
introduced a bill which proposes to abolish
the Foxboro hospital for dipsomaniacs
and inebriates and to use the buildings for
an asylum for boys Of simple mind"
The meaning OF this bill apparently Is
that Mr.. Noill shares the opinion enter
tained by many others that the drunkard.
cure hospital Is a failure, and that tho
buildings mt Foxboro might advantage
ously be occupied for the accommodation
Of the "custodial" inmates Of the school
for feeble minded ut Waltham, which is
wholly unable to provide for the cachablo
portion Of the feeble minded, simply for
lack of room.
In the house. a bill was introduced by
Mr.. Mellen to authorize the subway com.
mission 10 lease the subway, when com.
pleted, for n term Of ~ years, subject &c
annulmcnt by the commissioners on 80
days notice. In the act OF 1894 the lease to
the street railway company by the transit
commission was to be for 80 years and
subject to the approval Of the board oil
railroad commissioners.
The committee on public service re.
ported against the bill introduced by Mr..
johnson prohibiting from holding offica

jority, have served % sentence In any penal
institution OF this commonwealth or any
other state or country.
Mr.. Mellen gave notice that when tho
resolve in favor Of biennial elections Ia

solve rs to make the resolve, IL adopted,
operative I'm 1897. The speaker informed
the member from Worcester that the re-
solve. when II comes mp. will contain tho
words 1897. Mr.. Mccarthy gave notice OF
intention to move perfecting qmondments
to the resolve, providing that 1t shall take
effect In 1898.
Mr.. Mcllen said that the resolve adopted
In 1894 provided that 1t should take cffeci
In 1898; that the resolve, ms reported by
the committee on constitutional amend.
ments, this year, provides that 1t shall
take effect In 1897; that the resolve SO re.
ported has taken ono reading. and cannot
be amended without making IL n new re.

SPEECH OF FELIX BLACKBURN, ESQ.
Before the Ninth Congressional District
 Convention, September l.

Convention, September l.
 Mir. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Con-
 vention and Fellow Democrats:
 When 1 see here men of established rep utation for speech making and oratory, l feel very much like declining your call; but l always feel at home in q convention of the rocll-ribbed, true blue democracy. And especially proud am l to appear in u convention of democrats where the county of my birth, as well as the county of my adoption, have their full quota of repre- sentation.
 old Perry-~God bless her! love every foot of her soil-will ever stand like a stone wall against all opposition to the party that delivered her out of bondage; while Hale, true to the cause, will con tinue to return her usual majorites, and redeemed Bibb will shout hallelujahs which will strike a responsive chord in the hearts of the patriots of Blount.
 Democracy is to be congra tulated upon being able to muster enough of her fol. lowers to hold a convention after the issu- ance of the manifesto of the Republican Aid society in convention assembled in Montgomery on the 27th of last month. Ii is also gratifying to note tha the ma terial things of earth remai n unchanged. These are times to develop true patriots. All honor and praise to that man who, though his personal views on important issues in this campaign are not in accord with the Chicago platform, vet remains true to that party that stands for white supremacy and a government just to all.
 Democracy has nothing to fear in this campaign. The sooner she ascertainS who her enemies are the better. The loss she will sustain on account of the defec- more than doubly regained by their leav- ing. It is really interesting to observe with what alacrity these seIr-constituted leaders can change their way of thinking.
