. Releasing the Insane.

ent Lamb, Of the MatteaWan Hos
pltal for the Criminal Insane, gives
the history Of thirty-fOur cases were
legal proceedings were successful in
releasing inmates from his institu-
tlon. Fourteen Of these persons
were either later sent to prison or
came back to the asylum. Eight 9TH
ers, declared Mr.. Lamb, showed such
signs OF mental disturbance as to be
q domestic anxiety and burden, three
were dependent on relatives, one a
suicide, six disappeared and one was
partially self-sustaining.
These figures lead the Churchman
to argue that such cases should not be
decided by a judge or q jury, but
should be submitted to a medical
commission Of experts. There Ia a
great deal Of common sense in this
suggestion, but still it might not full
~ subserve the ends of Justice 20
give such commission exclusive jur-
1sdtction. Experts are prone to
technicalities and are VIGOROUSLY &C
tive in, declaring men insane who to
the world at large appear perfectly
rational. Such men If they commit
crimes should be sent to the peniten-
ttary, but If they are confined in an
asylum should be sent to prison uDo1:
their recovery. BrainstOrms and
other periods Of insanity which con.
tinue only long enough to allow the
victim to kill another man should not
, be regarded as good defense. But
, In the class Of cases referred to by
, the ChurChman while there should
always be an impartial disinterested
medical commission employed its
findings should be subject to revie "
by q competent Judge.

TO WORK AGAINST LICENSE
Civic Federation Will Take e Hand
in the Campaign Against License
in Mitchell Township.

A meeting OF the civic federation
was held in the basement of the
Methodist church Thursday evening,
though not largely attended. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was the discus
sion of the vote on the license ques-
ton which will be held in Mitchell
township on March 2. Messrs. Branch
Seaman and Scallin were reelected
to have charge of the campaign for
the next two weeks and will have
charge of the campaign to be out
lined TO defeat license in Mitchell
township. These gentlemen conduct
ed the fight for Mitchell last year,
and with that success as a standard
the federation believed they ought to
take up the present fight. A stiff cam
paign will be inaugurated in the short
time at hand to try and defeat Ii
cense for that township. With Ii

ago, and the presumption is that this

The senate committee on confer
ence upon the bill fixing the rate Of
interest on registered warrants re-
ported inability to agree and asked
to be relieved. The house stands for
six percent and the senate five per
cent. Fear is entertained by some
that the credit of the state may be-
come involved if the money market
got tighter than at present if the
lower rate is fixed.
The house refused to concur in the
senate amendment to the anti-treat
bill. This amendment provides that
the saloon keeper shall not sell more
than one glass at a time. The liquor
men are jubilant ~believeing they can
tie up the bill in the conference.
The house killed the bill for the
election expenses of the commissions
ers appointed for Harding and Perk-
ms county. The governor audited and
approved the bills, some of them un-
der protest. 1T was introduced as a
committee bill, but only 80 could be
found to vote for it. The members
believed the commissioners had in
Cured too great an expense. The vote
was reconsidered.

MUST HAVE A BUILDING
Y. NJ. c. A. will not be Established
in a City Unless a Building is
Provided for Home.

The delegates representing the
Associations at the Y. M. G. A. con-
vention just held in this city adopted
as the policy in relation to new asso-
Citations the following: We recon-
mend that the executive committee
cooperate in the organization of as
s%ociations only in those places where
funds can be raised for an adequate
building without Indebtedness. The
convention vas led to take this act
ion because OF the unfortunate eX-
perience which almost Invariably fol-
lows the opening of a Y. M. G.. A.
work in rented quarters. In ali the
older states this policy prevails and
while it delays organization at times
in the end ~permanency and efficiency
are secured.
The building movement which has
planted substantial buildings in
more than six hundred cities for Y.
NJ. G. A. work is expected to touch
South Dakota in the near future. The
gift of $4,000 by Mr.. Fishback to-
wards a building for Brookings is
regarded as a favorable omen in this
particular.
Another important recommends
ton was that. authorizing the State
Executive Committee TO raise at least
$4,000 for the state work. OF this
amount it was suggested that $500
be set aside to aid the work being
done among the Indian young men.
The Indian work has been financed
by the International Committee in
past years.
The money for the state work is
raised for the most part by volun-
tary subscriptions from business mel
who believe the Association enter
prise OF practical value. About $500
of the present years budget is already
provided. On the whole the outlook
in South Dakota is encouraging.

FEW BILLS CONSIDERED
Possibility that the Anti-Treating Bill
May be Tied up in the Confer
cllce to Follow.

Pierre. Feb. 1870 few bills have
not been considered upon any recent
day. Much time was devoted tt con-
c%urrencies and in the senate. Mr..
Byrne's bill recognizing the insur-
ance department took up a long time
in reading and discussion. 1t pre-
scribes the duties of the commission
err, gives him enlarged powers relat-
ing to the admission of foreign COM
panies and requires all one col
lected by the commissioner or any
of his employees to be paid into the
treasury. 1t increases the salary Of
the commissioner from $1,000 to
$1,000. The bill passed.
Senator Ewert's negotiable instru-
ments bill also was considered at
length. 1t is a voluminuous bill and
the reading and discussion took up
q long time. This bill onc before
passed the senate but it has failed in
several sessions in the house. APP
s~sparently it is more popular now and
many testimonials in its favor have
been collected from other states in
which it is enacted. The bill passed
the senate. cit is the uniform act
now in force in thirty-six states.
The senate also passed the bill put
ting the deposite of state money into
the hands of a committee consisting
of the governor, secretary of state,
state auditor, treasurer and public
examiner. The moneys are to be
distributed throughout the state to
bonded banks and the treasurer is
relieved from responsibility for mon
ey SO deposited.

new one and enlarge the capitol

NO TREATING IN STATE
A~nti-Treating Bill Passed the Senate
by Narrow Maragin-Buy
Your own Drinks Now.

Pierre, Feb. 1S.-This has beer a
field day in the senate and several
measures of more than ordinary in
terest received final consideration;
the one attracting widest attention
being the anti-treat bill. 1t will be re-
called this bill passed the house with
a large majority a couple of weeks
ago. In the senate it went to a third
reading on Monday last and failed
by one vote and was rec%onsidered
and made a special order for today.
One senator, Theo. Wosnuk, of Camp
bell, was absent on Monday and has
since returned. His vote saved the
bill which passed without discussion.
The temperance people both locally
and from abroad, were on hand and
the result is received with great salts
faction by them.
Another temperance measure of
even greater interest was in the SEN
ate, being Senator Bates bill granting
permits to sell intcXicants to social
clubs. Bates presented the merits of
the bill el%oquently but was vigor-
ously opposed by Thoreson, William
son, Curtiss, Andrews, Williams and
Scroggs and upon roll call but four
teen senators supported the measure.
The new bill regulating banks, al
exhaustive measure calculated to COW
Ell the entire proposition and putting
into the hands of the bank examiner
many additional powers calculated to
insure the safety Of the business, and
fixing the minimum capital of a
bank at ten thousand dollars was
passed after a strenuous debate re-
lating to the limit of capitalization.
ing, championed the bill and Byron
stood for the little banks.
DR.. Rates bill creating a state
sanitorium for the treatment of Tub
erculosis at Custer, also passed with
but one vote against it. This is a
house bill and consequently becomes
law.
The irrigation and drainage code
which originated in the house also
passed the senate.
Other senate bills passed are for
licensing embalmers; Creating a re-
volving fund of Irvine factory from
all moneys derived from the special
tax. Hare's bill placing coyotes on a
! parity with wolves in the bounty act
failed.
In the house the tax commission
| biz. was a special order but was put
| over until Tuesday. Erickson's state
! hail insurance bill was also a special
| order and was discussed at length.
| Erickson made a strong %presenta-
| ton of the measure and Whiting and
Taylor supported it, chiefly upon the
theory that it was in principle pre-
| cisely like the bank insurance bill.
| Wyman was strongly against it and
made a candid speech. The bill was
referred to a special committee.
Brady got the adverse committee
report upon his bill absolutely pro-
hibiting the sale of cigarettes re-
yersed. He made his first speech Of
the session and he spoke we'll and to
the point.

on Mitchell city at the coming spring
election, and which follows the
March election in the country. With
saloons running at the edge of Mitch

'doubtlessly, in the way of police

JOB FOR THE SENATOR
Tom Burns Imposed a Duty on Sena-
tor Hitchcock to Sell Charity
Ball Tickets at Pierre. /.

Perhaps Tom Burns didn't think
hat Senator Hitchcock would have
much to do at Pierre, being a demo-
crat, and he sent the senator d big
bnch of tickets to sell for the Char
ity Ball. Tom wrote the senator a
sort of a playful letter and it was
supposed that 1T would find its
way into public print. In some man.
ner the letter was discovered by Will
Bruno, who writes side notes on the
legislature in the Pierre Capital
Journal, and we herewith produce
the letter that Mr.. Burns sent the
senator concerning the Charity Ball
tickets:

My Dear SENATOR
We are going to have the second
annual charity ball. Friday night,
Feb. 10th. / got your letter saying
that you could sell each senator a
ticket, and herewith comply with
your request and hand you fifty tick
cts. There are other prominent gen
tlemen in Pierre who have made sim
ilar requests. We think, however,
that 1T is only fitting that inasmuch
as this Is an affair from your own
city. the Senator from the above city
should hanle them. The following
is a list of those who have requested
two or more tickets: Hon. Dick Han
ey, Hon. Chas. H. Burke, Hon. Chas.
Drake, Hon. Gus Helgerson, Frank
Crane, j l.. Wingfeld, l.. M. Simons
and j. l.. Lockhart After you have
relieved the above gentlemen Of their
coin sell the rest to the Senate MEM
bers and If you run short of tickets
wire.
For this work in behalf of the good
sisters, you will no doubt, receive due
credit from st. Peter, should you go
his route, Cd but for fear you might
not come in contact with the above
st. Peter, I have arranged with Dick
Lyons to say the Rosary twice a day,
six days, and have requested that
he say it in the presence CT his fam
lily, as l fear if he we're permitted to
get OF alone that he might use Ian

Your chsM forss$5o on or before
