COST OF MAINTENANCE.

The Indiana bulletin for the
thirty-fourth quarter, Just issued by
the Board of State Charities, con
tains some very interesting statistics
concerning the benevolent and cor
rectional institutions Of the State.
The total amount expended for the
first nine months OF the fiscal year
for maintenance was Ss53, 421.2S.
The gross maintenance per capita
during the niLo months OF the
various State institutions were as
follows: Central Hospital for In
sane, 1924 10; Northern Hospital
for Insane, S1l4.45; Eastern Hos
pital for Insane, Sl26.99; Southern
Hospital for Insane, 1882; Sol
'diers' Home, s120 OF; Soldiers
and Sailors Orphans Home, sl23.-
"a; Institution for Deaf, sl5S.O4;
Institution for Blind, slS2.79;
School for Predetermined, $4,000;
Reform School for Girls and Wo-
Prison, $10l.55; Reform
School for Girls, $3.50; Indiana
Reformatory, 1886. BY reference
to the above hgures it will be seen
that the Indiana Reformatory costs
the taxpayers of Indiana less, per
than any other public in
stitution in the State.

Passing of the Gold Democracy.

From the Springfield Republican.
Mr.. Bynum has stated the cause
Of his resignation as chairman of
the national gold democratic organ
ization at some length. He be-
lieves that the party has served its
purpose and cannot accomplish a
reunion OF the two wings of the
democratic party" He is convinc-
ed that the Bryan wing will reaf-
firm the Chicago platform in 1900
ard renominate Bryan unless it is
overwhelmiL ely beaten at the polls
this fall, and the way to secure
such a result is for gold democrats
to support republican candidates.
As the gold democratic committee
was not prepared to go so far By
mum gets out. He will join the
republican party and 90 on the
stump for it, and the other gold
democrats can 60 where they please.
1t nay as well he said that this
is the end of the gold democratic
party. Its experience since 1896
shows that il had no sort Of a place
in the political field. Third parties
or political factions must present
sharp differences in policy from
other organizations in order to grow
and succeed, but the gold demo-
cratic party differed so slightly from
the gold republican party on upper
most issues that the average voter
had no time to study carefully into
the fine distinctions presented.
Hence the gold democratic vote, too
small to be worth counting in 1896,
has been gradually disappearing
ever since, and not enough OF it APP
pears now TO be left to encourage
even the formality Of putting tickets
into the field. So the chairman
concluded that it was time to quit
The boilers from the Chicago con.
vention of 1896 have been silently
leaving their temporized party all
along. Some have been returning
to the regular fold and some have
gone over to the republicans. Al
that are left will now choose be-
tween these two courses. Where
will ex. President Cleveland 90?

THAT INVESTIGATION.


The attempt Of President McKin-
ley, and the Republican party, to
escape the logical effects Of his po-
litical appointments Of incompetent
persons to take charge of the SOL
diers in the Spanish war, by a sham,
whitewashing investigation, will not
rebound to his party's credit. He
would thus try to shift the response
bility for needless suffering, starv-
ing, sickness and deaths in the
camps, to subordinates, and make
some poor devils scape-goats for
his incompetence and lack Of care
in making appointments, or deny,
il possible, that any unnecessary
suffering or deaths have occurred
For the first, the appointment OF a
mule and cattle doctor as a chief
surgeon Of a corps of 35, 900 men is
sufficient to fix responsibility oil the
Republican party for the deaths OF
brave men in that corps, that no
Investigating committee can wipe
out. The appointment was made
by the President because the mule
doctor had a political ''pull," while
it was thought the sick and dying
private soldier would have none
and the Republican party is direct.
ly responsible therefor, and every
candidate who would defend such
appointments should be defeated a
the polls.
For the assertion that unneces
sary suffering and deaths did no
occur, the appearance and testi'
mony Of thousands OF soldiers nov
in hospitals all over the land, or or
iurlough to recover health, is con
vincing evidence Of its falsity
When men go out periodically t.
fight the battles of their country i
is the duty Of that country to taxi
the best possible carr of them, tina
a spirit of patriotism may be cher
ished and not smotheied in the flu
ture Of our country and no pretend
ed Investigation that would even re
suit in finding that "some n ha
blundered," could restore to be-
reaved families their dead love-
ones, killed BY incompetent ap
pointments Of veterinary surgeon

BLACK DIAMOND ROUTE TO BE SET
TIED.
English Engineer Tancred Will Exsmi,e

The affairs of the prospective
''Black Diamond" Railroad will
come to a crucial test in the next
few days, when Sir Thomas Tan
cred, OF London, the expert engi-
neer representing the British CAPT
t~alists, goes over the line of the
proposed road.
Sir Thomas Tancred arrived in
the city Monday morning and was
seen at the Grand Hotel. He
stated that the idea was considered
favorably by those whom he repre-
sented, and if the prCmised traffic
along the line developed as he was
led to believe it would, there would
be no further difficulty.
A large party of representatives
from the different towns interested
in the road met him at the hotel.
The Mayors OF Ripley, O.; Green
field, Ind. ; Vincennes, Ind. Yer
sales, Ind. Cynthiana, KY; and
Dover, Ky. were among the party.
Hon. t. G. Dickinson, of Washing
ton, ID. c. is also at the hotel.
The object Of the meeting is to
accompany Sir Thomas Tancred
OYER the line and help demonstrate
the advisability Of pushing the line
to completion.
The route is designed to connect
the coal mines of Tennessee with
Versailles, Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Columbus and many other smaller
towns Of the same territory.-Cin-
