NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT HIM.
The Problem of What to Do With q
Feeblc-Nfnded BOY.


Thomas Ryan, Assistant Secretary of the
Department OF the Interior. has informed
the District Commissioners that there is in
Freedman's Hospital white boy who %
said by the suTgeonin chief OF the hos
pital TO be an imbecile. The boy is twelve
years old and is known as Joseph Loefiier.
He has been at the hospital since last
June. Surgeon Curtis states that the boy
should be placed in an institution for
feeble minded children, where he can re
ceive training and instruction. rather than
in a hospital where he would only re-
ceive nursing and medicine.
In letter TO the Secretary of the Inte-
rior the surgeon stated that several efforts
had been made during the past three
months, through various agencies, 10 place
the boy under proper guardianship. APP
peals were made to the Board of Childrens
Guardians, the Superintendent OF Char-
ties, and many others, but no disposition
was made of the case Aside from the
fact that the boy is not regarded as a
proper subject for treatment at Freedman
Hospital. the statement is made that HIS
association and contact with adult pa
tients. many of whom have no instinct Of
morality, would do him further mental
harm.
The matter was referred to the Superin-
Commissioners that on December 2, 1896,
application was made to him. as agent of
the Board of Children's Guardians, in be
half of the Loeffler boy, who was then in
the Childrens Hospital. Investigation at
that time disclosed the fact that the father
was living at I9T Prince Street. Newark
y. j.. and was able TO provide for his
child. The father sent money for rail-
road fare and on December IL, 1896, the boy
was sent TO his home.
He was next heard from on February &c,
1888, when application in his behalf was
made by DR.. Johnson, of the Washington
Asylum Hospital. in which institution the
boy was then confined Ii was not stated
that he was feeble minded in this appli
cation nor in the one which had been
made two years previous, and, being over
sixteen years old. it. did not then appear
that the boy would have been fit sub
ject for commitment 10 the Board of Chill
drens Guardians.
The case was brought to the attention of
the Board of Children's Guardians several
days ago by Dr. Curtis, of Freedman's S
Hospital. Superintendent Lewis states that
If the boy is feeble minded and can be
shown to belong to the District of Co
lumbia. which he names condition
necessarily precedent to his reception as
a feeble minded child. he cannot be
taken in charge unless the deficiency
in the funds of the Board of Children s
Guardians for the current year is provided
for by the present Congress. Superintend-
ent Lewis further suggests that DR.. Cur
tbs return the boy to the person from whom
he was received.

THE LIE DRoIT AVENUE BILL.
The Commissioners Expected to En-
dOrse the improvements.

II is understood that within few days
the District Commissioners will submit to
Congress a favorable report on the lie
Droit Avenue extension. provided for in
House bill No. 1908. Engineer Commits
sioner Beach has already drafted a report
on the bill which he has submitted to his
associates for approval. 1t is pointed out
that the street is of local Importance. since
it cannot be considered a through street,
the proposed extension extending only
from Elm Street to the Howard University
Reservoir. The Commissioners believe that
the improvement would be of considerable
importance to its immediate vicinity ow-
ing TO the fact that Pomeroy and Wilson
Streets now have no outlet at their east
ern extremity. nor has Albany Street an
outlet at its western end. The estimated
cost is about S4S, 900.

suit Of mere pinch among specu-
lators of the baser sort, or the brief
Mysteries OF an unfounded fright. The
great efforts of the clearing houses. the

trouble have availed little, except to
prove that it has q broader and deeper
source than the reckless ventures of

GOOD MEASURES.

Senator Barksdale, ut Richmond, has
already heightened his high reputation
as n statesman and patriot. by introduce
ing into the Senate two very necessary
and important bills,--onc against
trusts, or monopolistic combinations,
and the other against bribery and cor
ruption. and fraud, in elections. These
are crying evils; and even if the SEN
ator's bills may need some amendment
to make them effective. he still de-
serves great credit for the courage and
public spirit he exhibits in thus giving
form and emphasis to the popular dis
approval Of wrongs from which the
liberties, rights and interests OF Vir-
ginians must be protected, and yet in
which large lobby-innuence Is al
ready entrcnched.
we see it stated that powerful com
bination, in and out OF the Lcgisla.
turc, has been formed ut Richmond
against both the measures proposed by
Senator Barksdale; but the undaunted
Senator defes all the powers of dark
ness and will still urge his bills on the

islnturc aud the people. The Virginian-
Pilot wishes him good fortune i'll his
labors for the public good, as all good
citizens also must do; and he will find
his reward, ii not the full success over
evil that he aims at:

heart untainted?
Thrice is he armed that hath his quar-

And he but naked though locked up in

PASSING OF THE SILVER ISSUE.

We printed in these columns the other
day an extract from an interview with
Congressman Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
who in 1896 was an ardent advocate of
Tree silver and prominently mentioned
as Democratic candidate for President,
in which he said that his views had
undergone n radical change, that every
evil prediction which the silver people
made In 1896 had failed of fulfllment,
and that therefore it would be suicidal

If gold has been our standard of
value ever since 1884, and If more silver
dollars. by far, have been coined since
1873 and the repeal OF the free and un-
