A COUNTY MEBRATR ASYLUM.

A new Jail for Essex County is contemplated in two bills introduced in the
Senate by Mr. Colby, Grand juies have condemned the Jail in their present
ments and with good reason. The county should have improved and enlarged
jail accommodations. An 1nebrhtes Home is also proposed in a bill intro
duced by AssembEman Young, the idea being to utilize the old insane hos
ptal building on South Orange avenue when abandoned. A Jail is indispen-
sable, and a Jail should be commodious and decenty appointed. An inebqiates
hospital, or home. is not indispensable. and the question lis in doubt as to the
policy of establishing an institution that would prove a magnet for inebnety
and be a convenient resort for men o recuperate in between spes.
In the great majority OF cases a drunk" is only a fit subject for the jail

ing the large structure IN South Orange avenue fol the purpose indicated

the grea cost of the nw insane hospital buildings 1T Overlook, wheret the
cost of maintenance will increase from year to year.

GOVERNOR AND SENATE IN HARMONY.

The reported revolt of Republican Senators against thu appointment slate
Of the Governor did not matriahze. The appointments made have been con
hrmedw without question, and the relations of executive and Senate continue
10 be harmonious AS fol a voice by the Senators IN the Governors selections
Of appointee which ome Senators insistentIy demand, 1T should be remarked
that when al appointee does ron or makes a scandal the responsibility for
his appointment is visited entirely upon the Governor. The Senate escapes
all responsibility and, being a body of tNenty-one individuals the response
blnty could not be definitely fixed, anyhow. The Constitution gives the pre-
rogative of appointment to the Governor. in order to indNiduahze the re-
sponsibdnty for appointments, making the Senate merely a brake N the

Terre Haute. Ind. Sept 25.-Addressing two large
gatherings here to-day. Mr.. Bryan reiterated his
charge that President Roosevelt not giving him
n square deal. but that the President was using
federal offceholders a Republican asset His
principal remarks made at the baseball park
where he denounced the Republicans for their poll
cies and pleaded with his audience TO stand to-
gether and elect the and national Democratic
tickets. The second address made tonight on
the courthouse steps
Mr. Bryan in his remarks the labor question
the trusts the tariff and publicity Of campaign
contributions injected a new feature He conduct
cd imaginary cross-examination Of Mr.. Taft on
the issues of the campaign. in which he placed Mr.
Taft in the attitude of finally admitting after
good deal pressure that the Republican platform
all wrong and unsatisfactory to him, and that
the Democratic platform was right. The novelty
Cf this method of argument created no little auuse-
ment in the crowd
The trouble with Mr.. Taft is he said that
while he is ashamed of his platform he hrs not
the courage to come out and declare himself fuLy

poratiors 70 the list those specifically mentioned
by him az being in restraint Of trade. He mentioned
the American Tobacco Company the National biscuit
Company and the sO-called Starch Trust He dwelt
on the ability OF powerful corporations 10 control
a campaign. "A small amount Of their profits ne
declared. will finance any campaign. and that Is
what leads to the corruption of elections and the
corruption Of official life. How. therefore. can you
control a monopoly that purchases from the party
in power the right TO continue?
Mr. Taft-s speech Of yesterday, in which he ~
quoted as saying that he promised genuine tariI
revision was mace the subject OF ridicule. Now
he said have three promises, unequiVoCaL
immediate and genuine. / suppose their other
revisions have not been genuine. They have o'eh

The Democratic candidate reached Terre Haute
shortly before 2 o'clock. and received hearty
welcome AZ the station and the hotel large
crowds gathered and chcered him Justify. Because
Of the fact thnt there only two stops between
Cincinnati and this city Mr.. Bryan was called on

briefly in behalf Of the Democratic state ticket.
Mr. Bryan tonight started over the Chicago &
Eastern Ilncis Railroad for Chicago. where he Is
due at 6:4T O'Clock Saturday morning. After
visit Of two hours AT the Democratic headquarters
he plans 10 continue his trip westward going first

he is scheduled speak tomorrow night.
While he speaking In Indianapolis a man
