UP-TO-DATE LAW.
New Rules for Washington Asylum in
Course of Preparation.

For some time past Supt Zinkhan of the
Washington Asylum has been at work pre-
pairing rules and regulations for the govern
ment of that institution. The absence Of
rules under the old administration of the
asylum was remarked upon some time ago
by Commissioner West, who has the asylum
under his jurisdiction, and he collected from
all parts of the country copies of the rules
and laws in force for similar institutions
This information which includes reports
from the asylums and warehouses in Gin
cinnati, Boston, Baltimore. st. Paul Buff
falo Columbus and other cities, has been
placed in Mr. Zinkhan's hands in order that
the best features in the same can be applied
to the Washington institution. Commits
sioner West Is of the opinion that it will be
necessary in the near future to frame law
relating to the management of the Wash
ington Asylum. The only statute now ex-
tant Is nearly half century old and in
many of it's provisions is obsolete.
comprehensive and up-to-date law to
govern the institution would in the opinion
of Commissioner West, place the asylum
upon sound basis and would remove many
of the obstacles which are now encountered
in securing good administration.

THE NEXT HOUSE.

There are fifty-six members of the
present house of representatives who
hold their seats by pluralities of less
than 1000 votes. AS the republican
majority in the house is barely twen-
ty, there have been number Of hope
full democratic predictions put forth,
in which the probability of working
democratic majority in the next con-
gress has been enlarged upon.
Lincoln" the very careful Wash
ington correspondent Of number of
leading newspapers, has been anal
wing the situation, and he does not
bring much comfort to the democratic
campaign managers. For, to begin
with, of the fifty-six members who sit
on the narrow ledge, but twenty-six
are republicans, while thirty are DEM
ocrats. At the outset the, democrats
labor under a disadvantage of four
close districts, that they must win to
hold their own, But Analysing the
situation further, Lincoln's opinion is
that in addition to having more close
avs w uSlVAu IllO ISDuUll-
cans, the democrats are in much more
danger in the close districts than the
republicans are.
Thus in Iowa the three members
counted as representing debatable
districts are Hedge, Lacey and Wade.
What prospect is there that either
Hedge or Lacey can be defated?" en-
quires the Des Moines Register and
Leader. "Their reelection is as as.
sured as that of any member on the
Iowa delegation. While on the other
hand Judge Wade's election was acct
dental two years ago, and will be acct
dental again if by any possibility he
should get to go back California
has two democrats in congress from
nominally republican districts. Edi-
tor Hitchcock will have great difficult
ty in again representing Omaha, and
so on through the list.
