no more resemblance to that of
Wisconsin and the system propos-

geons of the old world to our
best insane hospitals. Yet the
same name was made toapply to
both. The Hastings and Anoka
bill for two asylumns has also been
practically killed. What legislat-
ion will be enacted along this line
this session is not fully decided.
One large asylum may be erected
or cottages may be built at our
present hospitals to relieve the
overcrowding. At all events
something must be done to care
for our insane population.

strong sentiment in favor of abo-
fishing the preparatory classes in

POLITICS AND NEWS.

GOSSIP and Opinions Gathered in tho Cap
itaI City by Our Correspondent.
The time will pretty soon be
here again when the funny men
on the daily papers will have an
opportunity to revive their old
Joke on the members of the Legis-
lature who return home carrying
everything in sight with them.
The cariacaturists will again pict-
ure the Solons with their arms full
of waste baskets, stationery and
books, and many misguided peo-
pie will wonder why the law
makers are permitted to carry
away the states property. When
the legislative session opens each
member is supplied with set OF
stools" for law making, consisting
of pens, pencils, pen knife and
other necessary articles, chief
among which is q waste basket.
During the session various state
reports accumulate on his desk
and when he leaves he generally
packs these belongings in his
waste basket and transports them
to his home. Anything worth
having remaining in the deserted
House and Senate chambers would
disappear within twelve hours.
Moreover these utensils are the
property of the members and
suthing but the paltry waste bas-
bet worth fifty cents or more
could possibly be of use to any
future Legislature. Yet the"'
