If it is really a fact that they are about
to get the whole matter settled, there will
be lots of disappointment throughout
this country as there are not few people
like the congressman who said to the
president: "Now sir, we have given you
S5O, 10000 with which to buy guns, and
we want to hear them 60 off,"

Take the last two weeks for instance.
Suppose the people of York county, es-
pecially those removed from telegraph
Offices suppose they were without the
means of getting such up-to-date news
as The ENQUIRER has been furnishing,
what would have been the extent of their
excitement But all the time III close
touch with the very latest news, and at
the same time protected against ground
less fakes, the people of York have been
as serene as the Inhabitants of the large
cities. 1t is not accurate news but the
absence of it that works decentralization.

- The editor of the Rock Hill Messenger
writes that although his plant was de-
stroyed without insurance, he has ar
ranged to continue the publication of his
paper. He is in need, however, of finan-
cial assistance, and will be thankful for
it. We take pleasure in saying that The
Messenger has been well and judiclously
edited. The colored people have been
very much benefited, and for them to al
low the paper to die for want OF support,
will be serious mistake. They cannot
expect to have satisfactory representation
except through a strictly Negro paper,
and although they are poor, if they are
wise, they will willingly subscribe and
pay for The Messenger.

ASYLUM SCANDALS.

In reply to the stories circulated by the Re-
publicans relative to the insane asylum at Osa-
watomie, we publish the following letters from
two of our friends who are employed there:
OsAwAToMIE, KAs Oct. %, 1898.
W o. CnAMPE, Garrett, Kas.
DEAR SIR: In view of the many stories put
aAoat by the Republican campaign managers
concerning this and the other charitable institu
lions of the state, deem it proper to let the
people know the truth.
Their (the RepubicansD greatest cry is
about the "crimnal negligence" of the physi
clans in charge. AS a matter of fact, no ply
siciaus could be more careful or painstakfng
than are the ones in charge of the Osawatomie
asvluml. All of them are gra luates of we'll
Known medical colleges, and all are we'll quail
fed for the positions they hold DR.. Wellman,
Of whom Wetmore complains SO bitterly, was
for some time the physician i'll charge of the
denartment in which | ain all attendant, and
can say, of my own personal knowledge, that
DR.. Wellman is thoroughly up-to-date pllysi-
can. and is kind to, and careful of, the unfor-
tunate people placed in his charge.

CONGRESSIONAL TICK EFT.
COUNTY TICKET.
BUSH AT GARRETT.

Hon. w. E. Bush, secretary of state, spoke
in the court house last Saturday night. tel
eeram Yves received here on Thursday, stating
that Mr. Bush was sick, so he was not expected
and he was not billed until after he arrived, af-
ternoon Nevertheless, the court room was
filled in the evening, to hear him.
Judge Schoonover was chosen chairman OF
the meeting, and he introduced Mr.. Bush. The
Judge made quite lengthy introduction speech
in which he most ably discussed many of the
issues of the campaign, dwelling upon govern
ment ownership of all public utilities Indeed
it was one of the ablest arguments for public
ownership that we havs ever heard. Judge
Schoonover is an enthusiastic advocate of pub
lie ownership.
Mr. Bush was suffering from a severe cold
and he talked in low tone, which, however
was easily heard. He gave his hearers a his
tory of the acts of the present state administra-
ton and discussed the Populist state platform.
He reviewed the Wetmore 'JeXpose" of the
asylum scandals" and showed concusively,
by DR.. Wetmores official report, that his Eek
pose" was not actuated by honorable motives.
He discussed Webb WcNall's insurance record
-discused it merely from business standpoint,
as, indeed, he did all other questions at issue.
Mr. Bush did not abuse any person or party.
His speech was mild, calm, argrlmentive and
and convincing. Whether he made any votes
or not, he surely convinced his hearers--many
OF them Republicans-of the truth of his as
certiopc Ar the close of the SDeeCh a radical
Republican turned to the writer and said: 81
tell YOU that's vote maker" We ha heard
expressions from various Republican sources,
and all are TO the effect that THAT Mail Bush
s dangerous man We don's want any more
of his kind here this campaign" One thing
is certain the reform forces were mighty we'll
satisfied with Mr.. Bush meeting.

In the matter of abuse, any employe who is
found guilty OF abusing patient does not last
as long as the proverbial SNOWFALL. Abuse of
patients is something that the present admins
tration will not, and does not, tolerate.
l have been employed here one year--six
months under the Republican rule of DR.. Bid
die, and six months that the institution has
been under Populist government. | can say in
all truthfulness that the food furnished the pa
tients has improved at least fifty pei cent. The
food is all carefully prepared, and is good,
wholesome and we'll cooked. Patients that are
sick have special diet, prepared under the ply
sician's directions.
The charge that Senator H. G. Jumper has,
for fifteen months, been on protracted debauch,
is wholly false. l have met Mr.. Jumper and
talked with him every time he has been here
which is every month-and I never have seen
him intoxicated, nor have ever seen anything
that he had been drinking.
Instead of being "too drunk to attend
to business" Mr.. Jumper has been sober
and attended to business too closely for some of
those howlers to hold their Jobs.
In closing, wish to pay my respects to our
efficient superintendent, DR.. Kirk, who is
broad minded gentleman of fine executive abil-
ity, and his appointment reflects great credit
upon the state board of charities.
The employees of this asyum-more than
hundred and fifty IN number-are we'll educat-
ed, intelligent people, and the average in point
Of intelligence, morality and courtesy, both
male and female, is tar above what it was one
year ago, when the superintendent and two.
thirds CT the employees were Republicans.
The charges that are being made are so false
and foolish that believe they will fall fiat, and
the people and party that seek to use them will
receive the rebuke they so richly merit.
Very truly yours,
GILBERT HOOBLER.

REMEMBERED BY
 THE CHINESE
Ex-Chief Crowley Presented With a Beautiful Silk Elm
 brOidered Banner.
The Token Accompanied With an Address EulOgizing the Veteran for
 His Able Administration.

Ex-Chief of Police Crowley was pleas of the leading Chinese merchants. accom- panied by the vice-consul, called at his house on Sacramento street and present ed him with a beautiful silk banner suit ably inscribed in Chinese characters and and address. which reads as follows, and explains itself:
 ''The leading Chinese merchants here have instructed me to present to you in their behalf, a gold and silk embroidered banner as token of their respect for you and your able administration of affairs as Chief of Police during the last twenty four years or so. During your twenty four years of faithful and splendid ser vice to the public, especially the Chinese community, there was not a sign of dis satisfaction among them about your te- diouS and difficult work And when your resignation was announced every con scientious Chinaman felt with sorrow the loss of an able, honest and faithful pro- tectOr and friend. The American public too, must have felt the loss greatly No matter where you may be and what you do- you shall always control the Chinese sympathy and that their constant wish and prayer will always be for your sound health and well-being. It is with the ut most pleasure and respect that I hereby hand you over this banner on behalf of the Chinese community. I beg to remain with our highest regards and considera- uon, yours respectfully, HO VOW,
 Chinese Vice-Consul :"
 The reason for the delay in making the presentation was that the banner was ex- pressly manufactured in China and only arrived few days ago.

The Necessity of Capital PunIsbment."

The Necessity of Capital Punis brent."
 Oliver c. Miller. pastor of the Church of the Holy Spirit, 21Z7 Jackson street made that his theme at the evening ser vice. His text was from Gen. ix:6: Who so sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man." The speaker said in part:
 These are Gods own words spoken to Noah in his covenant after the deIuge and they have never been revoked. We find them confirmed in the covenant made with Moses nearly thousand years later in these words: He that smiteth man so that he die. shall be surely put to death. And still later in Leviticus We read: He that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. The same teSti- mony is confirmed by our Savior, who be- gan his teaching as a rabbi sent from God with the declaration that he came not to destroy, but to fulflll the law and the prophets. When he took the place of all murderers and criminals to the end of time, we hear him pray the Father as the cup of death was set before him. O. my Father. if it be possible let this cup pass from me: nevertheless. not as I will but as thou wilt But 1t was not possible. for Divine Justice demanded that he who took the sinners place must suffer the sinners penalty; the wages of sin being death. To the question, Are murderers or other condemned criminals saved 2 we answer, Yes if they sincerely repent and believe Tn the Lord. Christ saves the,rnu The demands of justice must be satisfied. even if Christ must be manifest in the building of the gallows and nerving the hand of the hangman. All the talk of banishing capital punishment is not the result of true humane feeling, but a nor bid sentiment that in the end is inhuman because it throws down the safeguards the Creator placed about the lives of his creatures.

An Attractive and We Dressed Woman Is
 Thrown in Jail.
Locked Up in a Cell With Sew eral Petty Thieves and
 VagPants.
ACCUSED BY HER HUSBAND
He Gets Her Into an Intoxicated Con- ditiOn and Then Summons a
 Policeman.

4 rather preposessing. well dressed woman was arrested last night and charged at the city prison with being drunk. Amid tears she begged Desk Sergeant Brown not to cast her in a cell as she had never been arrested be- fore. The woman gave her name as Mrs. Dora Albright.
 My husband got me drunk" she tearfully declared, and then had me arrested
 sergeant the fair prisoner said she was married several years ago to George Albright, a roofer.
 We could not agree" she remarked, and I was forced to leave him. Yes terday afternoon I met him on Market street and he took me to French res taurant on Clay street. He induced me to drink a bottle of wine, and after feeling its effects I begged him to take me home. Instead of complying with my wishes he took me cut of the res tauFant and meeting policeman he told him to arrest me for drunkenness. 1 pleaded with the officer not to arrest me, although I admitted to him that I was under the influence of liquor. My husband stood by, apparently en- toying my discontinue. He ordered the policeman to arrest me and prom ised to appear at my trial if neces- sary. AS the patrol wagon drove up to where we were standing my hus- band assisted the officer in placing me in it.
 Touched by her fearful appeal Judge Campbell. who stood listening to the sad story instructed the desk sergeant to release her as soon as she recovered from the effects of the liquor.
 A friend who heard of her arrest subsequently, visited the prison and offered to furnish any amount of money to secure the release of the unfortunate woman. He claimed he was related to her and severely criticized her husband.

PLENTY OF ROOM IN JHIL.
Fewer lnrnotes iD the County Jail This WiDter ThoD Has Been for
 Number of Yeurs.

Whatever may be the cause, there are fewer inmates in the San Francisco jails this year than has been at a correspond ing period for the last ten years.
 At the Broadway jail there are now only TOT; at the corresponding period last year there were 131. At the branch No. 2 formerly House of Correction), there are only 260. whereas last year at this time there were 3s6, and at the branch No. 3 (women's prison) there are 66, when last year there were S2.
 The total number of prisoners now un- der the keeping of the Sheriff between time-servers and those waiting trial in the Broadway bastile, under the keeping of Chief Jailer Sattler. is 433, as against 519 for the month of January, 1897
 This condition of affairs leaves plenty of spare room at the Broadway jail for those burglars and night providers who manage to evade the detectives.

E.. H. Seaver of Santa Cruz Locked Up in a
 Padded Cell.
He Was Married in SiskiyOu County a Month Ago to
 Pretty Ida Reid.
The Fact That He Kept His Wedding a Secret From His Mother Drove
 Him Insane

The honeymoon Of F. H. Seaver and his young wife has been brought to an abrupt termination by the insanity or the groom, who is now confined in Q padded cell in the Receiving Hospital.
 The story is a sad one. Seaver about a year ago, while on a visit to Siskiyou County. met and fell in love with Ida Reid, the daughter of a well-to-do rancher. He remained there for few months and when he returned to his home in Santa Cruz he was the ac- cepted suitor of Ida. Last month he again paid a visit to Siskiyou County and the day before Christmas he and Ida were married.
 After the ceremony they left for Be nicia, where they spent a few days with a friend of Seaver's, and then they came to this city and engaged rooms at r Sixth street.
 There was one little cloud on their happiness and it seemed to worry Sea yer. He told his wife after they came to this city that his mother did not know of their marriage and he was afraid she might cause trouble. He worried continually about what his mother would say until he began to act Queerly. Saturday he insisted up on Keeping the WlndOW blinds Tn their room down and when his wife asked for an explanation he said a man was coming to hang him because he had not told his mother that he was going to get married.
 Yesterday morning he acted in such a strange manner that the landlady of the house advised Mrs. Seaver to com municate with the police. She did so and Seaver was taken to the City Prison. When searched SS11 50 was found in his pockets and he said that a friend had a number of notes be- longing to him in his possession on which he was drawing interest. As it was evident that his mind was un- balanced he was sent to the Receiving Hospital and locked up in a padded cell.
 Mrs. Seaver. who is only a girl in years. called upon Chief Lees and the chief sent a dispatch to her father ex- blaming the circumstances and urging him to come to the city to look after his daughter and son-in-law. Detective Anthony was detailed to see that the young wife was properly taken care of till the arrival of her father. The poor girl was heartbroken over the sad ending to their honeymoon. Seaver will be taken before the Insanity Com missioners tomorrow morning.
