OUR INSANE "HOsPITALs."

The legislature changed the style of
our refugees for the insane in 1891 from
"asylums" to hospitals" and from
designating them as First" and so on
to the name of the town where located.
While the latter change was unobjec-
tionable, the former is largely a mis-
homer. A change in the direction Of
accuracy would have been the hyphe-
mating Of the two words, making the
style "hospital-asylums." This would
have the merit of correctly describing
their functions. They are first medical
institutions for the cure of insane pa
tients. and, when that is found impos-
81 &c. th~n they are asylums where the
ircurab;e a:e kept. fed, clothed, at
tended aid. vixen dead, buried at the
cost of the state, that is, of All of Us.
The increase of these asylums in num-
Der, in the money annually appropri-
ated fer support and for additional
buildings with the startling increase
of the insane as compared with the
increase in population, taken with the
proposition to erect still another, the
fourth asylum or hospital, has attract
ed public attention and discussion Of
other methods of caring for these I'M
fortunates.
There are now three of these hos
pitfalls one at st. Peter, having, Sept.
80. this year. 951 inmates; one at
Rochester, with LA inmates, and one
at Fergus Falls, with 976 inmates, a
total of 3,071, against 1852 at the same
time last year. The cost Of the build
ings erected to and including 1896 is
$2217, 654, and the cost of their support
since 1862 has been $5,9S2547. The av-
erage cost for buildings is $771, 21S, an
average that may be expected to hold
good in any further venture the state
may make in providing more hospitals.
The cost of support for 1896 was $543,-
1913. while the appropriations for sup
port made by the legislature Of 1897
are 1884 for 1898 and 1893, 400 for
1899. AS the same legislature added to
the appropriations made by the legis-
lature of 1895 for support in 1897 the
sum of $4,000, it is probable that the
appropriations for the ensuing two
years will have to be supplemented by
more appropriations next session
Pursuing the division adopted in pre-
senting the figures relating to all the
state institutions, dividing the ante
boom period from 1870 to 1880 from the
subsequent years, all grouped in five
year periods, we present now the cost
of support of our insane institutions
and of the buildings erected for them,
the latter including the annual re-
pairs and improvements made upon
them Taking first the cost of build
ings, we get the following data.

TO USE AN ALLEY.
Northern Pacific Wants to Build a
Spur Track.

The ordinance granting to the North
ern Pacific Railway company the right
to construct and operate a spur track
from It's present right Of way through
an alley running between Fifth and
Sixth streets to Broadway, was con-
sidered by the aldermanic committee
on streets yesterday afternoon. Aid.
Kenny said there was a demand from
the property owners for the construc-
ton and operation of the track. L. T.
Chamberlain, who appeared for the
railroad company, stated that the own
ers of forty-three out of the siXty-four
lots abutting on the proposed line Of
track were in favor of it.. All Of blocks
81, SO, 80, 40 and Al, through which the
track would pass was owned by the
railway company. From the middle Of
block Al, which Is midway between
John and Locust streets, the company
did not expect to lay the track until
needed, but under the ordinance be
fore the committee the track would be
completed to John street by June 1,
Some of the committee were of the
opinion that 1t would be best to hear
from the property owners as to OBJ
jections, if there were any, before rec
ommending the ordinance to pass. The
ordinance was laid over until the next
regular meeting Of the committee at
which time those Of the property own
ers who desired to be heard will be
given an opportunity.

NOW YOU SEE 1T AND NOW YOU
DON'T

A Republican high-tariff contempor-
airy informs us with tremendous head
lines that "Dingley's Bill Is All Right"
1t is all right because at will soon fur
pish sufficient revenue" When we
come to search in the reading matter
under it's captions for the reason why
the Dingley bill is all right, and why 1t
is going to furnish US sufficient revenue
some time or other, the only evidence
given is that the imports Of dutiable
merchandise for November showed an
increase Of over $5,OO0,O00. The article
judiciously omits to state whether this
increase is over the preceding month
of October or over November of 1885,
1t does not really matter, however, for
the significance of it is that the high
tariffites are now reduced, in their
search for apologies, to pin their faith
in increased revenue to supposed in
crease in imports. We will waive for
the moment the fact that Secretary
Gage, among the most optimistic of the
party leaders. puts the treasury deficit
for the year ending June 80, 1898, at
SIS, 900, 900, and for the year following

ACTION FOR LIBEL.
Col. Tietz Brings an Action Against
the VcIkszeitung.

Edward Tietz has begun an action
against the receivers Of the Volkszeit-
ung Printing and Publishing company
to recover $4,000 damages for alleged
libel. The receivers are Albert Schaller
and Hiram D. Brown.
The alleged libellous article was pub
Iished in the Volkszeitung on the after
noon of Nov. 10, 1897. 1t was headed
Elm Schurfenstreich, which, trans
lated into English means 1.-THE Deed Of
a Rascal" The article charged Col.
Tietz with entering into conspiracy
with a man named Wolff to have
Henry Bergmeier brought before the
probate court and examined as to his
mental condition. " Col. Tietz denies
every allegation contained in the ar
ticle and declares that certain subse-
quent publications by the Volkszeitung
with reference to the original article,
constitute an yaggravatton Of the al
legged libel. j y.

A PEOPLE OF FEW WORDS.

Let your speech be yea, yea and
nay, nay" says the Good Book, ''for
whatsoever is more cometh to evil"
Shakers abide by the spirit of this rule.
Their words are few, simple, sincere
and direct. They waste no energy in
idle talk; they use it in thinking and
doing. And whatever they do they do
with their might. They are content
with nothing short of the essence and
principle of the things they investigate.
They also take pains and are patient.
And thus the doors of many strange
truths open to them. In this way they
discover what may almost be called
the unity of disease. A venerable Sha-
ker says of it: ut is said that one
mans meat is another mans poison.
That is but half the truth. Any mans
meat is any mans poison, under GER
tain conditions. If the grain never got
further than the hopper we should nevr
have bread; and If bread never got fur
ther than the stomach we should new
er have strength. When the stomach
Is torpid, helpless and infiamed the
food lies in it and rots. This fermen-
tation produces poisons which may,
eiiN oAtCh w, cNcly
gan and function of the body. This is
Indigestion or dyspepsia, with many
symptoms and DISCUSSES. Cure it and
you cure nine-tenths of your COM
plants" These words were uttered
many years ago. Since then they have
found a remedy, now known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is made
from medicinal plants cultivated by
them. 1t is a food and digests other
foods, Taken while eating it rests the
stomach and nourishes the system.
The pain and distresses of dyspepsia
disappear before it. 1t prevents fer
mentation and soon restores full pow
er to the digestion. 1t succeeds in the
worst cases. 1t is worthy the name of
the people whose name it bears. Any
druggist will sell you trial bottle for
ten cents.
