When a man is so hide. bound and

Barney Sheridan, the Democratic
optimist of the Paola Spirit says:
"The future can never be worse than
the past. Democrats of Kansas have
gone through the fiery furnace Of dis
content, disgrace and humiliation.
They have lived under Jim Lane and
John ingalls, who were thrust upon
them by the Republicans and PETER
thrust upon them by the Populists. y"
We take this to mean that the Demo-
Gratis do not yet intend to shuttle off
the political mortal coil but will stay
with us to instruct, entertain and
oft-times amuse by showing a Won
dering world what party should not
do to succeed.

Populist Bungling.

A Topeka paper says that one OF
the first things that the state board
| OF charities will have to consider now
that the appropriations for the pres
ent year are available is the patching
up a botch left by the Populist board
at the Osawatomie asylum.
The Populist board which under
the administration Of II. G. Jumper
was always concocting some hair
Drained scheme last year decided to
increase the number OF ward rooms
by Transforming the basement OF one
of the ward buildings into wards.
This project had been considered by
previous boards, but had always been
abandoned because Of the impossible
ty Of properly ventilating such rooms,
and the great cost. Several estimates
had been made by former boards, all
OF them showing that it would take
at least $l2, 900 to make the improve
ment.
The Populist board in its superior
wisdom laughed at these estimates
and demonstrated satisfactorily to IT.
self that the work could be done for 81
little more than $4,000 Laborers
were then employed and put to work
excavating and the Improvement was
begun. Soon it became apparent
that it would take more than $4,000,
but the board felt sure So, 900 at the
outside would cover the expense, and
the work went on. In little while
the 81, 600 mark was passed and the
work was not near completion. The
board felt it was so deep in the mud
by this time, however, that it decided
to expend few hundred dollars more
and finish the job 1t was not long
until $6, 900, the $1,000, the $1,000,
the $4,000 and the $4,000 marks
were reached. Still the rooms were
not complete. Finally $4,000 had
been spent and the rooms were not
vet finished. All the available funds
had been used and the work had to
cease.
II was in this condition that the
new board found the work. The
rooms are incomplete and there is no
sure means Of determining just how
much it will take to finish
them. Estimates have been made
putting the figures at from $500 to
5000. This would make the cost OF
the thirty or more rooms that would
then be available range from $4,000
to $lS, 900.
When the rooms are completed they
will be poor apologies for ward rooms
and it may be found necessary to
abandon them altogether Their
floors will be from throe to four feet
below the ground making it absolute.
ly impossible to ventilate them prop
erly and next to impossible to ventil-
ate them at all. Nor is this the
worst. The ventilation of the super
structure has been impaired by the
so.called improvements, so that the
wards above will suffer by it. The
Importance Of ventilation in an asy.
lum or hospital is so readily recog-
nized that the injury worked by this
botch is at once apparent,
1t might be that the board will find
it advisable to abandon the work Of
finishing the rooms altogether and
turn them back into store rooms for
which the basement was originally
