A Crying Need for Legislation.

The case of Rose Grant and her home
brings out the strange fact that 1t is
nobody's business in this State 10 super
wise charitable institutions and to prose-
e abuses in them. Dothe-
b6ys Hall has practical immunity until
one of the wretched inmates escapes and
makes his cry of suffering heard through
the newspapers.
It appears the State Board of Charities
has no jurisdiction unless the institution
receives State or county aid, and there
is no officer or board which either in
spects such places or takes up the cause
of their inmates in case of dispute with
their management. In New York. where
the law is more advanced. such a place
as Rose Grants home could not have
existed for a year. The State machinery
for the supervision of charitable ~institu-
tions of all sorts is powerful and efficient
and abuse Of any long continuance is i'm
possible.
1t may be said that we have the Grand
Jury here, but anyone can see how UNI
fitted it is to reach a case like this. If
there Is any abuse here. the victims are
children. and blind ones. The very exist
enee Of abuse involves a cruel despotism
over them, and obviously the Grand Jury
has no means of counteraeting this and
unsealing the lips closed by fear.
The Legislature should extend the pow
ers and duties of the State Board of
Charities, and should give it a paid ex-
ecutive officer, 50 that such cases might
b reached.

NOW, senator Elkins. one of the most
ludicrous of Republican statesmen. has a
proposal, which he will embody in a bill
for presentation to Congress, providing
for a tax of 10 per cent. on all goods i'm
ported to this country in other than
American vessels. The ennity of your
type Republican to trade is wonderful. It
never occurs to him to foster, help, de-
velop. Repression is his remedy for every
thing. Tax, more tax, still more tax, tax
things of the earth or the seas-this is
Republication.

THERE seems to be a thoroughly de-
PRAYED state of public feeling up in Union
Hill. h Kitty Larkin was arraigned
for horsewhipping James Capp, the people
made a sort of heroine of her, and Kissed
and hooted Capp. The young woman
maintained a defiant attitude in court.
and, hen released on bail, threatened to
repeat her offense.
Perhaps when the Grand Jury indicts
her and Judge Hudspeth sends her to Jail
for thirty days or so, h may acquire
more respect for law and order if not a
higher conception OF young womanly con-
duct.
It has become more or less fashion
to lionize viragos of one sort of another
who take the law into their own hands.
1t is time to stop it.
