NUMBER g.
The County Asylum.

IL is noticed with regret that the
county board took no action at the
adjourned sessioc to provide for meet
ing the $4,000 asylum bonds, when
they fall due, nine years hence. In
this connection we will try and make
plain the financial status OF the asy-
lum, and correct mis-understand-
ing which is said to exist, OF remarks
heretofore made by tho TRIBUNE.
In their report to the county board
in November the asylum trustees
show the earnings of the institution
to have been for the year preceding,
SlA1S6.6B, and the expenditures, in
Guiding permanent improvements,
Sl486l'2o, actual cash profit s435,46.
OF the 1882 credited to permanent
improvements only $1,000 can fairly
be placed under that head, the re-
malnder more properly should be
classed rs current expenses, being
for such things as are liable to be
needed from time to time. There
fore II appears that running expenses
may be estimated To average fully $l2-
cooper year. TO this add 0por year
interest on asylum bonds, and IL Is
seen that the annual running eNpen-
ses Of the institution for the next
years is likely to be about $l3.60o. II
the annual earnings Of the asylum
continue as In 1898, $ll,7s6, there will
be z yearly surplus of less than 81 300.
The building Of asylums by other
counties suggests that our institution
cannot hope for any greater patron
age than 1t now enjoys; more likely
II Will be less in the near future. In
the light Of these facts we cannot
comprehend the wisdom OF the
county boards refusing to set aside
annually n reasonable amount TO APP
ply on the asylum bonds when they
fall due. In their reports of cost OF
the institution the trustees do not in
clnde the $500 interest annually
paid by the county OH asylum bonds,
but we think this legitimate charge
as part OF the expense Of the institn-
tion, and have therefore included il
In our estimate. For the eleven years
since the loan was made this item OF
interest amounts TO $l6,560.
1t Is said that the TRIBuNE's ref
erence TO the appropriation Of $4,000
by the county board for the asylum
has been understood by some to mean
that tax Of that amount was lev
led. Our statement may have been
too much like the official reports con-
cerning the asylum, little obscure,
and needs Interpretation. As sail earn
ings Of the asylum are turned into
the county treasury, and become
part Of the general fund, an order by
the county board Is necessary to
draw the money out OF the treasury
for the maintenance OF the institu-
tion, therefore, when 1T was stated
that an approprinton OF $4,000 was
made for current expenses Of the
asylum for. tue ennsing year, II only
meant that that amount of the ex-
pected earnings Of the institution
was to be returned to 1t. IF, ut the
end Of the year II Is found that the
expenses have exceeded the $4,000
estimate (as 1t did last year by $S,b06),
the trustees report will show de-
felt, to be made up from surplus
earnings Of the institution In the
hands of the county treasurer, The
only direct tax incident to the asy-
ium is $500 per year to pay interest
on the bonds issued for its construc-
tion.

EDITING a paper is nice business.
If we publish jokes, people say we
are rattle headed. If we don't
we're an old fossil. If we publish
original matter they say we don't
give 'em enough selections, if we give
'em selections-we are to lazy to write;
il we puff a man we are partial,
if we compliment the ladies-the men
are jealous; if we don't we'rs pub
fishing a paper not fit to make a
hustle of. If we remain in our Office
we are too proud to mingle with
the common herd;' if were on the
streets-we're not attending TO our
business. If we wear poor clothes,
business is dull, if we wear good
clothes-we do not pay for 'em. Now
what will we do? Some may say we
stole this from our eXchanges-and
so we did!

Iowa Lodge No 1. l. o. o. F.

The installation of officers of this
popular organization in this city on
the evening OF Jan. Sth, and the
entertainment incident thereto made
a rarely enjoyable occasion for the
brethren and their guests, number
ing about 300 people. S. G. Thomas
as District Deputy Grand Master,
and Charles Blewett as Deputy Grand
Marshall, conducted the installation.
the several officers being duly obli-
gated and established in their re-
spective stations with impressive
ceremony.
At the conclusion OF the install
lation service, DIR. j. ii. Vivian, the
"Father Of Iowa Lodge" who is al
ways expected to offer something
for the good of the order" on such
occasions as this, and whose
known zeal and devotion as an Odd
Fellow of long and efficient service
commands respect and attention,
arose and addressed the installing
officer, S. G. Thomas. The Doctor re-
cited with manifest feeling, in well
chosen words, the faithful, untiring
services Of Mr.. Thomas through 26
consecutive years of membership in
the lodge, and his consistent eXem-
plification of the teachings of the
order in all his intercourse with the
brethren and his neighbors. In re-
cognition of these services and merits,
the lodge had procured, and now
presented through the speaker Vet
eran Odd Fellow badge, authorized
by the sovereign grand lodge as dis
tinguishing emblem to be worn only
by Odd Fellows who had served faith
fully in the orde. for full quarter
of century.
Mr.. Thomas had not the slightest in
timation of what was in store for him,
and was entirely overcome for min
ute; but in voice tremulous with
emotion, tne best evidence of the
gratitude in his heart, he thanked
the brethern, and assured them that
what lie had done for the lodge was
labor of love. He referred to the
many rides through storm aud dark
ness that he had taken with Doctor
Vivian in the performance Of their
duty to the lodge and their beloved
order, and only regretted that he had
not been able to serve them more
and better.
The badge is a beautiful star of
gold and pearl richly engraved and
pendent from a handsome gold pin.
The evenings entertainment was
unusually interesting and full. There
were songs by two male quartets,
one consisting of Messrs Hankins,
Williams, Hughes and HuXtable,
the other of Messrs Kuelling, Bakers
and Richard and Hammil Martin;
duets by James and Abe Vial of
Linden; solos by Miss Jacka, Miss
Phillips and Mr.. Walker; recitations
by Miss Leila Jackson, Miss Edith
Eden and Miss prudence Benson,
and short address by Rev. /. Kent.
