"John O. Sheath acted fairly and

Representative Gillette, among other

"The nomination of Hon. John O.

as to whether Republican or Demo

the successor of Treasurer Berry. The
good sense of the party has prevailed,

Asserting that the pay which they
receive is too small at the Danville
hospital for the Insane the male at
tendants have presented series of
demands to the trustees of the hos
pital, looking to the betterment. of
their condition. With these de
nands is an ultimatum that if action
favorable to the attendants is not
taken by next Monday they will
leave the institution in body.
The attendants want three things:
First, IA 20 per cent increase in salary;
second, every third Sunday off all
day; third, every third day and eve
ming off.
Dissatisfaction has existed among
the attendants at the Danville as
ylum for number of years, and
this latest development is but the
elimination of dissatisfaction dating
back several years. There are at the
Danville institution now 1885 pa
tients, about half being men. To
watch over and care for these char
yes there are but fifty five male and
fifty five female attendants. Many
of the wards are OvercrOwded, which
naturally entails additional work
upon the attendants, the Danville
,sylum having been designed to ac-
.omOdate but 900 patients.
Female attendants at the hospital
receive from SIG for beginners to $25
for ward mistresses per month. The
male attendants get from $40 to $37
per month. Board, washing and
lodging are included in this, and are
valued at $40 per month. Often the
attendants are are obliged to work
from O'Clock in the morning until
9 at night without any rest.

Putting new life into old local

been nominal Boards of Health, little
or no work has been done.
Too often Councils do not realize
the need of a Board Of Health until
an epidemic of some preventable
disease has LAID many of its citizens
low. Every borough is supposed to
have an active working Board of
health at all times to look after the
general sanitary conditions, too see

an opportune time in opposing to
the REIMBURSEMENT OF the Phillip
pines. The proposition that they be
sold has been making headway
among public men, particularly
among members of congress. The
costsof the island to the government
is large, while the progress of the
natives has not been what had been
hoped for. The impression is grow
ing that it will be 80 years before the
natives will be fit for self govern
ment and until the United States can
be relieved of the expense and an
noyance which Philippines posses
siOns involves. Hence the cam
paign for their sales.
Admiral Dewey, however, consid-
ers this narrow view. He insists
that the Philippines are absolutely
necessary to us if the United States
would maintain an open door for
commerce with the east. 1t is our
manufacturers, farmers and produc-
ers generally who need the Phillip
pines more than anybody else. For
years the cry in the United States
has been for new and broader mar
kets, and the Pacific slope especially
has has looked to the east to
place its surplus crops and stocks.
Unless this field is to be abandoned,
unless American shippers are to sur
render all ideas of doing business
with the orient, "the future great
field for :the principal commercial
nations of the world" this gateway
must be kept open.
1t is not to he denied that the
question lacks popular interest. The
average man in the United States Is
wholly Indifferent as to what be
comes of the Philippines. He cares
nothing for the Filipino and less fol
the island and their future. That i.
unfortunate but not altogether sur
prising. Their value is not altogether
understood. If, however the strate
gic Importance of these valuable
possessions from business stand
point can be made plain, as admira
Dewey has done it, the sentiment
toward abandonment will be stayed
In any event we have not had the
islands long enough to be certain o
their advantage to us as Il nation
and it would be monumental blum
ber to rush in and undo what Dew
ey's guns made possible and diplo
macy confirmed few years ago.
