The Hospital for the Insane has
over 900 patients IL Is presided over
by DR.. Max White who Is quite an
authority on tho subject of insanity.
AS his name indicates he Is Of Ger
man birth, but has been nearly all his
life in Iowa, and has spent practically
all his manhood Ia his present work
He is q decided success and has his
great work of management there we'll
in hand. The method OF caring for
the insane has made great progress
In the last twenty five years. They
used TO contine SO many OF the incur
ables In cells as maniacs. Now OF
their over 900 patients at Clarinda
they have not one so confined. They
humor their Illusions and thereby
nearly always keep them happy and
tractable. OF course they are watched
and II violent spells come on they are
sometimes, but rarely, locked in their
rooms. Kindness Is used always.
The state has TO spend considerable
money In caring for It's unfortunates
but in doing the work IL is performing
duty which is also pleasure, for
there Is no citizen who has heart,
but who Is glad to contribute his
small share in so good cause.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.

According to the Register & Leader
DR.. Porterfield will be candidate
for the republican nomination for
railroad commissioners. The present
commissioners are Col. ID. j. Palmer
of Washington, f. A. Dawson of
Waverly, and N. S. Ketchum of Mar
shalltown. Ketchum is new man
and will be continued. The other two
have held the Office several terms.
1t is understood that Dawson is not a
candidate, but that Col. Palmer de-
sires another term. 1t is said that q
compromise has been made to nomin-
ate Hon. w. l.. Eaton of Usage, and
Col. Palmer to represent the two fac
tions of the party. If this be the case
it would seem that DR.. Porterfeld and
other candidates who may appear will
have poor show to get into, and a
still poorer chance to win out in the
race. Other names that have been
mentioned are those of Owen Loveioy
OF Greene county, w. j. Dixon of
Sac City, Ed Sitz of Spencer; and

A DESERVED TRIBUTE,

On last Saturday, the general AS
sembly of the state of Iowa paid a
deserved tribute to Former Governor
Larrabee by inviting him to make an
address before that body, the occas-
ion being his 74th birthday. He was
born in Connecticut where he was
reared on a farm and went to the
common school. AT nineteen he
commenced teaching and at twenty
one he came to Clayton county in this
state where he continued in the same
work. He afterwards managed a large
farm for Judge Williams and in 1857
bought an interest in the milling BUSH
ness at Clermont Fayette county which
is still his home. Ten years later he
was elected to the state senate where
he served Is years when he was chosen
governor, an office that he flied with
honor for four years. He made q
vigorous and successful fight in the
enforcement of the prohibitory law
and against the railroads. Some
people may think that nothing was
ever said about the abolition of passes
on the railroads until it was taken up
by some of the present reformers; but
il his first message, in January 1888,
he used the following language:
81 recommend the passage of a law
destroying the pass system root and
branch. No one should be permitted
to ride free except the officers and
employees of railroads, and they only
when travelling upon the legitimate
business of their respective compan-
les. Neither passes nor mileage
tickets should be used in payment for
services or work of any kind done
for railroad companies. Such SER
vices and work should be paid for in
cash.

ATLANTIC SALOONS.

The decision of Judge Thornell cut
ting down the census of Atlantic below
five thousand stands, and the saloons
closed their doors-front, side, and
back-last Friday morning at $50.
At request of saloon-keepers, they
were given twenty-four hours to move
their goods and ship them out of
the city. So there was hurrying to
and fro to get the contraband stuff
out of the way and thus prevent con-
fiscation. While this was going on, a
number of fellows stood around with
a wistful look on their faces, thinking
of the long dry days of summer with
nothing to drink but city water
and pink lemonade, and nothing in the
world to do but ''chew the
rag" and spit on the side walk. And
even now an ordinance is before the
council to cut off the latter privilege.
Too bad to throw lot of men out of
work right in the winter time. Where
will they go to get warm and rest
and be sociable, now that the saloons
are closed. For those who have fam
lilies and homes, the answer should be
easy. But really for those who do
not have homes or rooms that are
comfortable, it becomes quite a seri-
Gus question and one that the temper
ance people ought to make an effort
to answer in a practical way. There
are men in the cities who frequent sa-
looms more for the warmth and socia-
bility than they do for drink, but can
not go there and not drink; so they
get into the habit which sooner or lat
er binds them hand and foot. The
temperance people of Atlantic have
done well in making the vigorous
fight to rid the city of saloons. They
can do still better if they will now
provide some place where men can go
to warm and rest, and be sociable and
take bath at a small expense. Such
place can be made to pay expenses
and save many boys and men who
would otherwise be led astray. What
will they do about it?
