chained, which are to furnish electric
and other power to the national capital.
The former estate of Gen. Lee has
long been called Arlington National
cemetery, but it has not been truly a
national burying ground. 1t has been
sectional, in a sense, because only the
soldiers of the northern armies were
buried there. It is now, in every sense,
a national cemetery, because recently
the bodies of nearly 300 of the soldiers
of the United States, who fell in the
war with Spain, were brought from
Cuba and laid to rest in Arlington Ma
tional cemetery with the honors of war,
and with the president of the republic
as participant in the exercises. These
soldier dead went forth from southern
as we'll as northern states when the call
for volunteers was made. Therefore
the bodies of the brave southerners as
well as those of the north lie there
beneath the folds of the stars and
stripes, guarded by the soldiers of Fort
Myer, and where the rising sun each
morning casts over them the shadows of
the Washington monument, and the
dome of the capitol building.
While our national soldier dead have
thus been inferred on the Virginia hill
side of the Potomac, scores of sufferers
have been incarcerated on Maryland
heights, in St. Elizabeth's asylum for
the insane. Incarcerated is the prop
er word to use, for the overcrowded
asylum contains not only the sick, the
toll oil no
sane. There are criminals also there
who might better be in the infrmaries
of penal institutions.
In 1885 this site was selected and hos
pital buildings erected in order that
care might be taken of the insane from
every state and territory. AS time
passed the buildings have been modern
lied, additional quarters erected, and
all modern improvements placed at the
disposal of the management for the
care and well-being of the unfortunates.
Among these hapless victims of VIOLA
lions of the laws of health there are
scores of the youthful soldiers of the
republic whose minds are unbalanced
because of the hardships they endured,
and the crimes to which they were made
subject, because of the rapacity and
:grasping cupidity of certain unconvict-
ed criminals. f

are crowded. AS usual when seeking
to fix the responsibility for abuses in
government circles, the inquirer can
only ascertain that nobody is to blame.
1T is the great big elusive nobody upon
whom responsibility is always fixed.
Under the act Of congress, 1882, the
attorney general is permitted to com
NIT to st. Eizabeth's all insane per-
sons who are charged with offenses
against the United States, and the at

INTEREST ON WARRANTS.

The new act of the legislature, which
went into effect June II, makes the
rate OF interest on all interest bearing
documents 6 per cent unless a rate is
specified, and then it cannot legally
exceed II per cent. The minimum for
state warrants is fixed at 8 per cent
and at that rate in case Il less rate is
not specified in warrants. City, coun-
w and school warrants will draw 8 per
cent unless a less rate is specified. All
parties handling these warrants must
accept them at whatever rate OF inter-
est may be specified on them as long
rs the minimum is not exceeded. The
full import of the following clause in
the law has just been realized by the
the state officials and it will be noticed
THAT it makes the state and county

matter: at shall be the duty of every
