FIRM AS A ROCK.

Democracy has no hold in Worces-
ter. Republicanism carried Boston on
ly because of party detection in the
ranks of the opposing party. Spring
field went the wrong way in her last
municipal election. Other large manu-
featuring centres in the state, like Ha-
verhill and Brockton, have surrendered
to the socialists. But Worcester can
usually be relied upon to return re-
publican plurality. In the few in
stances when she does not do So in
dividual preferences rather than poIit-
ical principles have been the reason for
the change.

THE CARE OF INEBRIATES.

The care and treatment Of inebriates
and dipsomaniacs by the state is the
result of careful later day sociological
study. Until within a few years this
class of our criminal population was
committed to insane asylums and hos
pitfalls. but it is obvious that their COM
mitment to such institutions does not
further the aims Of the state to relieve
and prevents such types of disease. AL
though a law was passed some years
ago providing for the commitment of
this class of cases to the hospital for
dipsomaniacs and inebriates at Fox
borough, some cases are yet thought
lessly assigned to insane hospitals.
In his last annual report TO the trus-
tees of the Worcester insane hospital,
superintendent Quinby, commenting on
this irregular commitment, says that
eight male inebriates were sent to the
local institution during the year, one
man having been committed and dis
charged three times within the twelve
months. Every one who is in any way
conversant with the purpose had in
mind by the advocates of the hospital
for dipsomani-cs and inebriates at Fox.
borough, when its establishment was
urged, know that the relief of the insane
hospitals from this class of cases was
G. most prominent one, if not the one
most insisted upon.
The fact remains, however, that
drunkards are still sent to our insane
hospitals in direct contravention if not
of the letter of the law. The law pro-
yrdes that judges may commit to Fox
borough any person who is subject to
dipsomania. This seems in the opinion
of some of our judges to make 1t dis
dictionary with them whether such
person shall be committed TO the hos
pital for dipsomaniacs or to some in
sane hospital.
All ambiguity as to the intention of
the. law would seem to have been obvi-
ated were the act of 1885, regarding the
committal of inebriates to insane hos
pitfalls, to be repealed. An effort looking
toward this repeal will be made at the
coming session of the legislature, and
it is hoped that the repeal may be eff
fected at once in order that the over
crowding of our insane wards may be
obviated

Election results in the cities through
out the state in most cases verify the
predictions of the prophets. The only
two communities where there was any
thing in the nature of a surprise were
Lowell and Salem, which unexpectedly
turned into the license column.
In the latter city Alderman Little
was elected in place of the present in
cumbent, who has held office five
years Newburyport was the only city
in which the social democrats made a
decisive stand. The Melrose election
was interesting in view of the fact that
it was that communitys first expert
ment in civic elections.

railroad accident occurred three miles
from here today, when eastbound pas
senger train No. 1 Of the Central Pacific

the spreading of the rails. The train was
bowling along at a speed of 40 miles an
hour when the postal car jumped the
track, ollowed by a baggage car, a first
class day COACH. a second-class car, the
smoker and three tourist cars. Five of

The Damage to it Done By
the Texas Floods.
VIEWS OF THE BROKERS
There Will be No Appreciate Effect
Until the Loss is Fully Known
Steamship Lines Will Lose Much
in the Way of Freight.

New York, July 5.-The news of the
flooding in the cotton fields of the Brazos
river. Texas, while tending appreciate
to lower quotations on the cotton ex-
change, had the effect Of steadying prices.
The markets are waiting for fuller re-
ports OF the extent of the devastation be-
fore estimating the effect of the floods
upon the cotton trade. Several large
dealers who were spoken to at the ex-
change said that the consequence of the
submerglng of the cotton fields would not
be felt Immediately. The result mostly
to be feared, they said. was the probable
ity Of the ground being useless for re-
planting purposes. If that should be the
case, the cotton trade may be for some
time affected to some extent, but not
considerably, for the reason that the
plantations now under water yield a very
small proportion of the cotton output of
the country.
Many of the local banks have corre-
%spondents in Texas, but none of them are
yet able to estimate how much. if any
thing, they are likely to lose through the
destructive floods in the Lone Star state.
At the office of Latham, Alexander &
Co. the leading cotton brokers of this
city, it was said that no special advices
had yet been received from the devas-
, tated districts.
Henry Hentz, one of the leading cotton
men Of this city, said:
The eleven counties south of Waco,
through which the Brazos river passes.
it is estimated, produce 45G, 600 bales of
cotton, but | do not believe that the whole
crop has heen lost. 1t is hardly con-
ceivable that the entire counties have
been flooded, and, in fact, l have received
dispatches stating that the first reports
of the disaster We're exaggerated. A tele-
gram which has just come to me from
Paris, Tex, states that the estimate of
damage is put down to 200, 600 bales.
When it is considered that this amount
is less than ? per cent of the entire out
put of cotton in this ~ountry last year,
the loss after all is not serious. More
over, the rains which flooded the low-
lands Will be beneficial to the highlands"
The optimistic view taken by Hr. Hentz
is no solace to the shipping lines that
carry freight betWeen this port and
Texas.
"The overlooking of the Brazos river
steamship lines, will cause very severe
losses to the shipping companies running
to Texas. Take our line for instance.
We carry more cotton than any other
kind of freight, and if the destruction
to the plantations is as great as it has
been reported. it will be a hard thing
for us and for M generally be-
tween this port and TeXas.'
