WASHINGTON, ID. T., Dec. Il, 1898.
The tifty-third Congress, near the
close of the last session, authorized
this department to issue Il bulletin
containing matters relating to the IN
dustrial interests Of the country.
The first number has already been
issued.
1t is my desire to have part of each
number devoted to the results of some
original inquiry, but such part or
chapter should be brief and not exceed
fifty pages. Furthermore, such orig
inal inquiries should be one that could
be made in a month for two of our eX-
perts to be specially detailed for the
purpose.
My object in writing you now is to
invite you to suggest topics for such
brief, original iqulrits. Any sngges-
tions you offer should relate to lnves,i-
cations that can be easily carried out
and that comprehend something of
value to the country at large. They
sholld not relate merely to local or
partisan mltters but any inquiry that
can be carried out in the way | have

the welfare of the whole people and
serve To contribute information for the
treatment and discussion Of social and
industrial problems. will be gladly con

undertaken.

Judging from circular that Commissioner

This is true missionary work to save

The democratic officials around the State
House at Annapolis are facing the future
with a very bad grace. Most of them have
petitions out asking for retention, to the
anger of the republicans and the amusement
of the non-office-h holding democrats. - Bati-
more NeCs.
Every ring man held u mortgage on
his place, subject only to republican
foreclosure.
Hence, these tears.
The truth is, however, if these people
were of the right sort, they would not
be disturbed, nor could anyone laugh
at their calamity.
But Gormanism never taught them
any better. Gormanism never inspired
in their third-class intellects aud
fourth class ,consciences any higher
chunk of afflatus than this-there
is no other political god before Me.
The Annapolis case reflects what is
the matter with the whole country.
Those twin loves OF official distinction
and desire to live with some notoriety
at public expense, dominating all pol
tiles and ruling all so-called labor or
CARNATIONS, are the inspiring causes
of all the bad government under which
the people bleed and suffer.
When the statement is made, there
fore, that under Mr.. Cieveland's civil
service regime so per cent. Of republicans
are in departmental office, followed by
the charge that this is responsible for
democratic reverses. the JOURNAL
still thinks the imputation is not only
untrue but brutal.
If the statement be true, do repub-
lican office seekers exert themselves so
strenuously to turn their own so per-
cent out
If the charge be true, is it to be I'M
derstood that Office holding, and not
good government, is the sine qua nan of
democratic aspiration
The latter question, which must be
answered affirmatlvely by everybody
in the party who is not a statesman,
comprises the gist of the greatest
trouble under which so-called self
government is struggling to-day.
Party success is paramount TO popular
welfare, and, descending by gravity
pressure the scale of degeneration,
the pre-eminence of German, or Quay,
is held as a finality superior even to
party success. The factional king.
throned as an idol of Juggernaut, is
HAULED around in unwonted state by
the sheer force of an unreasoning and
unreasonable infatuation.
This is not republicanism, democ-
racy nor Americanism.
But it is an evil whose growth has
become an occasion of alarm to people
who love their country for far better
reasons than the chances If affords for
office holding, and who anticipate for
it a higher destiny than a national
poor-house.
1t was real patriotism that suggest
ed regulations which base of1ice-hold-
ing on merit, not party success.
1t was real patriotism which thus
proposed to elevate the party scramble
for office to popular effort to be-
come fit to hold office
And real patriotism, thus prevailing,
the violence of our paroxysmic efforts
on election day TO obtain party CON
troll will be minimized, and the coun-
try relieved of strains which are in
consistent with its genius and danger
Gus to its perpetuity.

Kelley Institute.

The Cumberland branch of the
Kelley Institute was opened Thurs
day afternoon in the Laing building,
Mechanic street, that city, and large
number of people awaited themselves
of a generally extended invitation to
inspect the provisions made for the
cure of alcoholism, the opium, morphine,
cocaine or choral addictions, neu
rasthenia and tobacco habit.
The JOURNAL condenses an interest
ing article which recently appeared in
the Cumberland Neaos as follows, and
asks its readers to refer to the adver-
tisement of the Institute in another
column fer additional information
The entire second floor has been fitted up
handsomely and comfortably. The rooms
and Railways are heated by steam and lighted
by electricity. Baths and closets and all
other conveniences necessary for the health
and comfort of patients are found in this
institution, which the management intend
shall be a model of its kind, ranking in all its
appointments with their celebrated institutes
at Harrisburg, Pa and Laurel, this State.
Under the methods employed III the Kelley
Institute there is an entire absence of every
Objectionable feature of the old style inebriate
asylum or sanitarium. The institute is a
home, where only voluntary patients are re-
ceived, where manager, patients and phys
clan meet upon the ground of a mutual con-
cesson of responsibility, and where the
patient occupies the position of a temporary
resident of the city, free to come and go when
and where he chooses, the only requirement
being to observe regularity in the taking of
the internal remedy, and reporting punctual-
ly four times day at the hour assigned for
the hypodermic treatment.
The results are startling and incapable of
belief except by those who have witnessed
them. The patient in few days time is re-
stored to normal physical condition, capable
of occupying position as man among men,
either III profession, trade, business or
society.
The institute in this city will be under the
superintendency of Mr.. Glssan T. Porter, for
several years past the managing editor Of the
Times. Mr.. Porter stated to a representative
of the Neors to-day that all the management

JOURNAL has received copies of the
Proceedings of the Third Annual

the convention is covered in neatly
printed pamphlet of about 40 pages,
accompanied by illustrations of the
several officers and committee chair
men. The most interesting item CLEAN,
ed from hasty review of the pamphlet
is the fact that Frostburg water press
