ASYLUM UNDER FIRE.
The Superintendent and Trustees
Said to Be Derelict.

Two reports regarding the state lu-
Matte asylum, sometimes called the
Georgia State Sanitarium, were made
the legislature. One report says the
asylum is in splendid condition 4; the
other charges DR.. Powell and other Of
ficers, an the board of trustees, with
being derelict in their duties. DR..
Powell is also charged with allowing
cruel treatment to the inmates. and
it is asked that an investigating
committee be approximation the purpose
of looking into the real state of affairs
and making report to the next gen.
eral assembly.
The charges on which one of the re-
port is based were preferred by DR..
w. A. O'Daniel, who until recently was
one of the physicians at the asylum.
When he was not reelected by the
board of trustees he filed charges with
the legislative committee regarding
the condition of affairs which existed
and minority of the committee sus-
tanned his charges. The matter is
creating quite sensation among the
legislators.

UNCLE SANS NEW ISLANDS.

The Danish West Indian Islands,
which have finally been purchased
from Denmark by the United States
are three in number-St. Thomas, St.
Croix and ST. John. The first named is
the most important, and its harbor, at
the town of st. Thomas, Is one of the
best in the West Indies. 1t was the
possession of this harbor, which CON-
mands one OF the approaches to the pro-
posed Isthmian canal, that was partlcu.

this consideration was due the offer to
purchase the islands. The area of the
islands is only about 120 square miles,

WANT $4,000 SALARY.
Movement on Foot to Increase Salaries
of Members of Congress.

A Washington dispatch says a Sc
rious movement is on foot to increase
the salaries of members of congress
from 5000 to $4,000 per annum, the
change to take effect with the next
congress. The present salary was
fixed long ago, when it was a much
greater sum comparatively than 1t Is
now. In those days salary OF $5,OJO
was regarded with considerable re-
spect, but at present it has little at
fractions for successful business man,
when salaries in private life are rum
from $4,000 to $4,000, and to even
LARGER sums. Aside from being called
on to pay heavy campaingn expenses a
member of congress must be prepared
to meet all sorts of demands on his
nurse from his constituents, churches,
fairs. charitable institutions, etc. In
deed, if it were not for private for
lures or the money they make in out
side ventures during the recesses OF
CONGRESS the average member could
scarcely live in a respectable manner.
Many members spend their entire sal
aries in campaigns, and others even
more. The attention of those who
have no private fortunes is naturally
direc.ed to the stock market TO recoup
tbamselves, which in some measure
accounts for the heavy trading done
by the members.
The house is rather difident about
making the proposition, for fear of the
nossible effect it might have on its
constituents, but would welcome IL
should it come from the senate. IL IS
proposed that while the o saiar ha ~; y.
creased March 4, 1903. those of the
senators should not be increased until
the expiration of their present terms.

"Lewiston is city of Is, 600 people,

ness industry in the city in the next
few years.
"We have just opened a cooperative
grocery store with 700 families trading
there. No one owns more than $25
worth of stock in it. And yet the whole
town is excited. BY next spring we
shall commence the active absorption
of stores and factories, and it will con-
tinue till the whole state is a part of
the American Cooperative Associa-
ton.
SIT is our intention to absorb the
whole country. We shall use the meth
DDS of the trusts for the benefit of the
people. Every one will belong to the
association. Every one will work for
the association. The association will
own all lands, all factories, all indus
tries. The the United States govern
ment will absorb the trusts thus formed
