THE BEDLAM OF EARLY ENG
 LAND.

Tn the twelfth century madmen were i taken to St. Bartholomew's in London, and, according to the monkish narra- tives, many wonderful cures were ef- | fected. Up to the sixteenth century monasteries and prisons and ecclesiasti- cal hospitals contained cells into which | lunatics were received, but 1t is prob able that they were given little care or | treatment, and that the public at large was the chief beneficiary by their in- | generation. In 1547 the first lunatic asylum not under ecclesiastical admin | istration was established in England. | The priory for the order of St. Mary of | Bethlehem, founded by Simon Fitzmary, a sheriff of London, in 1247 in St.. Botolphs without Bishopsgate, London, had for a century and a half been used for the reception of lunatics.
 In this year the institution, for long before called Bedlam, was transferred by Henry VIII. to the authorities of the city. with an order that it be converted into house for the reception of luna- tics. It stood in an out-of- the-way place, close to many common sewers, and accommodated but fifty or sixty pa- tients. For very many years, however, the place remained a horrible prison" says Sibbald, and not hospital in any sense of the word.' up to the year TITO the patients were exhibited to the public like wild beasts In cages, on pay ment of a penny and they are said to have afforded much sport to the visitors who iocked to see them in numbers es- timated at not less than 4S,000 annual ly. Some whose condition was so ameliorated that they were no longer considered dangerous to the public were licensed to go begging. On their left arm was placed an armilla-an iron ring for the arm about four nches long, which they could not get off,
 .They were about their necks," says Aubrey, as quoted by Dlsraeli, ia great horn of an OK in sling or bawdry which when they came to house they did wind; and they put the drink given them into this horn, whereto they put a stople.'' Tn Tom of Bedam song which dates from the first part of the seventeenth century, the comforts of his asylum life are thus alluded to by the licentiated beggar:
 In the lovely lofts of Bedlam
 In stubble soft and dainty,
 Brave bracelets strong,
 Sweet whips ding dong,
 And wholesome hunger plenty.
 About 1875, when the licensing of beg gar lunatics was stopped by law, a new Bedlam three times the capacity of the old was erected in Moorfeld, the neces- sity for increased accommodat tions be- coming greater "as the country came more and more into systematic govern ment and as the wholesale burning of such unfortunate persons as wizards or witches died out. ."-Popular Monthly

There havs recently bean many
disputes over the water, the people
claiming that the water is diverted
from their homes for the benefit OF
the Board OF Health taro patches
SuperintendentReynolds ontheot her
hand says that it is only during the
night that the water is diverged
from the houses and that there is no
hardship for the lepsrs on hat ac-
count. As there is plenty Of water
at Waikolu an endeavor will shortly
be made 10 bring an ample supply
OF water TO the settlement.

The lepsrs wish that the Board OF
Health would buy it's own steamer
so that no freight would be charged
to the lepera. Wm. Motley ordered
1000 feet OF lumber from Honolulu
for the purpose at repairing his
house. Dr.. Pratt refused to give
freight pass and Notlsy was Obliged
to pay $35 freight for his lumber
That is wrong aud it is one of the
foolish actions of the Board which
causes ill.feeline and Dissatisfaction.
II is truA that Notley didu't buy his
lumber from the Wilders but that
fact ought not cut any ice with Dr.
Pratt.

The poi question ia very annoying
Ambrose Hutchison, whose taro was
pulled by the Board of Health he
fore it was ripe wants what he con.
siders his due. The Board OF Health
answers that he can have the money
whenever he wishes but Hutchison
is not willing to accept the figures
arbitrarily fixed by the Board Of
Health aud far below what he would
have realize1 il his taro had been
allowed to grow to maturity. The
taro in the patches OF the Board OF
Health is growing very rank aud the
experiment seems to be q waste OF
money.

THE MIx-UP IN NEW YORK.

Tammany has thus far succeeded In
checkmating the Republican State al
ministration in it's efforts to get con-
troll of the metropolitan police depart
ment. in order to double the strength
and resources of the Plat political ma
chine. The single-headed police COM
mission bill has been found to be the
--LATEST kind of failure since it simply
divides the responsibility for police
misdoings in New York city, while it
leaves Tammany in as complete con-
troll as ever.
But the Tammany triumph promises
to be short-lived. Plat, Odell and the
rest Of the Republican bosses are mad
as hornets, are determined to be re-
vengcd on Van Wyck for his retention
OF Devery, and have been aroused to
desperate action. As they have the
whip-handle and are not at all scru-
puIous In the use of power, the pros
peot is that the comparatively mild
single-headed Police Commission bill
will be succeeded by a drastic measure
placing Greater New York directly
in the grip of the Republican State
leaders.
Act first will be the notification of
Mayor Van Wyck that he will be held
responsible for any act OIL dereliction
committed by Commissioner Murphy
and Deputy Commissioner Devery; act
second will be a move to impeach
Mayor Van Wyck for violating the
spirit, if not the letter, of the single
headed Police Commission law; act
third will he the passage within a fort
night of the State constabulary bill,
placing the policing of New York city
directly under the control of the State
administration, and act fourth will be
another LeXow committee to investi-
gate the New York police depart
ment.
AS Boss Platt holds the trump card,
it looks as if he would win out in this
game of politics, in which event New
York State will probably be lost to the
Democracy of the nation, while the
city will make a transit from the fry
ing pan into the fire in the supplanting
of one corrupt machine by another
even more corrupt, which will not be
subject to the curb that is now put
on Tammany, since 1.-THE Platt ma
chine-will then rule in both city and
State. 1t is altogether a sad prospect
for New York.

MEXICO AND CUBA PARALLELED.

Senior Cisneros, the member of the
Cuban constitutional convention who
refused to sign the duplicate copy of
the new constitution to be sent to
Washington, explained his action in
these words:
Cuba is now independent, and l can see
no reason for sending this Constitution to
the United States for acceptance. The
United States government has no right
to pass upon it, for it is a distinctly Gu
ban document and was drawn up by this
convention, which has assumed the re-
sponsibility of establishing the republic"
This would seem to he unanswer-
able. The demand of the administra-
lion at Washington to be allowed to
pass upon the Cuban constitution be-
lore admitting its validity is altogeth-
pr without precedent. it is pointed
put that the case of Mexico affords the
closest parallel. Says the New York
World: ut was upon the demand of
the United States, vigorously formulat-
ed by Secretary Seward, that the
French withdrew from Mexico in 1867,
leaving the Emperor Macmillan to
his fate. We did not go to wal to
enforce our demand AS in the case of
Spain and Cuba; but we were prepar-
ed to do so, and the moral effect of our
attitude freed Mexico from the for
eign invaders. Did we for that ser
vice assert our right to be satisfied
with the Constitution of the Mexican
Republic, soon thereafter proclaimed?
Did we even suggest any conditions of
suzerainty over that nation?"
Yet, then, as now in the case OF
Cuba, many loudly proclaimed that
Mexico was wholly incapable of self
government and that a condition of
anarchy would follow if she were left
alone. Indeed, at that time especially,
the Mexicans were less advanced than
the Cubans are now in all that goes
to make the independent citizen. Yet
how directly have events given the lie
to those evil prophesies and vindi-
Gated Mexico's ability to govern her
self as evidenced in the progress and
prosperity of that republic. And with
this case in full view, how can we
say that the Cubans are not fit for
self-government? How shall we ever
know without giving them the
chance
