NON-PARTISAN CONTROL OF STATE
INSTITUTIONS

NON-PAKIlSAN CONIKUL VI STATE
INSTITUTIONS.
In considering the best means for
managing state institutions, caring for
the dependent, defective, delinquent
and criminal classes, it is well to have
undertaken by the several states in this
respect.
Figures.
The figures of the United States CEN
sus of 1900, have not yet been given out,
and am compelled to rely upon those
furnished in the census of 1890. From
them it appears that there were in the
United States in that year 1861 ,485 per-
SONS who were insane, $500 persons
who were feeble minded, 40, ,592 persons
who were deaf and dumb, 90, ,568 per-
sons who were blind, S2,329 persons
confined in prisons and penitentiaries,
IA ,846 persons confined in reformatories,
III $40 persons supported in benevolent
institutions, such as industrial and re-
form schools, etc., and 73,045 persons
who were paupers and supported in
almshouses. This makes an aggregate
of 575,3S4 persons. 1t is said in the re-
port that there are at least 100000 per-
sons who are defective in intellect, hear
ing or vision, and million more who
are sick, deformed, crippled or other
wise physically disabled. If we add to
the 5O0,O detectives the prisoners, the
persons in reformatories, those in bene-
have grand total of almost eight hun
dred thousand people.
Dependents are Increasing.
Statistics show, that in the case of
most of the above classes of people,
there is steady increase, so that it is
fair to assume, that today there are, at
least, one million, two hundred and
fifty thousand of these people requiring
some kind of care or assistance. 1t is
fact that many of these defective, de-
pendent, delinquent and criminal
classes do not become domiciled in state
institutions; it seems safe to say, how
ever, that the several states now have
more than a million of these people to
take care of.
When we consider the vast sum in
vested in lands and buildings, and per-
sonal property, used in the care of these
people, and when we compute the enor-
nous sums expended, annually, in their
maintenance and care, the figures are
appalling and justify every citizen in
insisting upon an answer to the inquiry,
"Can this great work be carried on
more efficiently, and at the same time
more economically, than under the

Appointing Power Abused.

A personal visitation to many institu-

states of the Union, warrants me in say

are worse than have stated. Usually,

Hanna's Influence Bad.

This is neither the time nor the place to appraise the value of MT. Hanna's services to his party. or to estimate the influence of his ethical standards and his political methods upon the national life In the judg. ments of millions of his countrymen both the standards he has set up and the methods he has employed have been hostile to the permanent peace, happiness and prosperity of the Ameri- can people. The opposition aroused by his revolutionary tactics has not, We believe, been confined to the party which has fought him at the polls. There has been plentiful evidence that the men of light and leading in his own party-the men who represent it's conscience, it's character. it's culture and it's intelligence-have chafed under the galling yoke they have been compelled to wear throughout the Me 'kinley administration. So keen and formidable indeed has this resentment grown that it became clear months ago that. though the Republican rank and file might support MT. Mckinley for president they would rebel against

HERS A PITIFUL STORY.
Mrs. Natalie Smith, Aged 20,
WrOnEfuIIy Drew a Pension
To Feed Her Children.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 3.-AIrs. Ma
halle Smith, aged 20, charged with
making false affidavit in a pensio u
claim, was fined 81, ZOO in federal
court here. While the old woman
knowingly committed perjury, her
age, condition in life and the circum-
stances under which the Offense was
committed have combined to make
her an object of sympathy. For years
she has drawn money wrongfullv
from the government, but in doing
so had been enabled to keep herself
and her children from starvation. Ac-
cOrding to her philosophy, some pow
er in this world owed her a living.
Ten years ago Mrs. Smith applied for
a pension. Her husband, who was an
old soldier, had left her. She declares
yet that she believed he was dead. In
order to get the pension it was neces-
saTy to supply facts regarding his
last illness, and she signed and at
tested a paper PurpOrting to describe
how he died and how she attended
him. Year after year she made her
vouchers and kept the wolf from the
door. A little more than a year ago
her husband applied for a pension
and this led to her arrest at Joplin,
TO which place she had moved.

decision of the cabinet was announced
after the cabinet meeting in the fol-
lowing statement issued by Secretary

termined that existing conditions do
not require or warrant calling con-
gress together during the present

editor of the CommOner, gave out
Saturday night advance sheets of an

say:
''This decision, like the bred Scott
decision, raised a political issue which
must be settled by the people. The
supreme court has Joined with the
president and congress in an attempt
to change the form of our govern
ment, but there remains an appeal
to the people.
''The election in 1900 did not decide
this question, for the republicans de-
MED that they favored imperialism,
but they can deny it no longer. They
must now admit their reputation of
the constitution as we'll as the decIa-
ration of independence"

MANY NEW CLAIMS.
Pension List Is Getting Larger as
the Years Go By.
Since spanish-American War 43,-
s74 Claims Have Been Filed on
Account of It-Mexican and In
dian war Claims.

Washington, June 4.-The commits
sioner of pensions states the work Of
the bureau for the II months Of the
fiscal year ended May 81 to be as fol
lows: Original pensions have been
granted: For account of war of 1872,
widows, 2; for account of Indian
wars, widows, 112; survivors, z; for
account of Mexican war, widows, 325;
survivors, IA; for account of service
prior to 1861, 6, making total of 466
pensiOned on account of service prior
to the civil war.
For the account of the civil war
there have been pensiOned for disabil-
ity incurred in service: Invalids, l.
O51; for disabilities as provided by
act of 1890 invalids, 1852; for widows
under old law, 1901; for widows under
act of 1890 and amendments, 14,479;
for nurses, 25, making a total original
issues on account Of the civil war of
35,3O8. In addition to this number
there have been restored to the rolls
400 names that were previously
dropped or suspended for various
causes.
There are about 100000 of those
drawing under the act of 1890 and
amendments that receive the maxi
mum rate of S12 per month.

The appropriations made by con-
gress for the fiscal year viii be suffi-
cient with the exception of that for
medical examinations. In this item
there Will be a deficiency. Congress
appropriated 100000, but the de-
mand for medical examinations dur
ing the fiscal year has been so great
that the appropriation will not be
sufficient to meet the requirements
of the law under the established prac-
tice.
In addition to the number of orig
inaI pensions granted as set forth,
for the II months, there have been
issued for increases, rerating and &C
crued pensions, 5O,6SO certificates, or

94,O77 certificates. There have been
1897 names added to the rolls since
July I, 1900.

interview with Aguinaldo yesterday.
He said that Cables did not believe
that AguinaldO had been captured,
and consequently issued Proclama-
ton characterizing Aguinaldo's ad-
dress to the Filipino people as an
American trick. AguinaIdo, through
Gueverra, advised Cables to surrender
Immediately. After this interview

Minneapolis, MINI, June 5.-The

The main features Of the plan Of
campaign decided on are: Each state
to keep an organizer In the field;
junior suffrage clubs to be formed,
especially among women wage-earn-
ers; county organization; at least
one sermon year by cIergymen;
wOmen's day at fairs, Chautauquas
and the like; protests by women tax
payers; the systematic distribution
of literature; frequent publications in
the press; petitions to state 1egisla-
lures to raise the age of consent and
TO make mother co-guardian of chill
dren with father, and to appoint PO-
lice matrOns; petitions of all kinds
to national and state conventions and
to congress for a sixteenth amend
ment.
Resolutions were adopted censuring
the army officers in Manila for licens-
ing the social evil. The resolutions
say further: To furnish bad women
with official health certificates is con-
trary to good morals and would i'm
press both soldiers and natives as Of
ficialIy sanctioning vice; it was I'M
Just to subject vicious women to
compulsory medical examination not
applied to vicious men; official regu-
Iation of vice while lowering the NOR
al tone of the community is quite inef-
fective in protecting public health,
as shown by experience in Paris,
where the system originated, by its
abandonment in England, Switzer-
land and other countries and its fail
ure everywhere it has been tried. The
resolutions protest in the name of

ducing in our foreign dependencies
