THE BOARD OF CONTROL.

There are bills before both Houses of
the Legislature to abolish the bi-parti-
san Board Of Control, the members Of
which are supposed to see after the
eleemosynsry institutions of the State.
We are not fully informed as to the ne
cessitv of the change, but as far as adj
vised we are for the passage of the
bills. The bipartisan business is gen.
orally a humbug. by which both parties
escape the responsibility Of the results,
though in the case of the Board of Con-
troll the republicans should be charged
with the responsibility. The two re.
publican members, we are informed,
dominate the board, the two democrats
being merelyilfigure heads, who are
afraid to exercise much authority as
their tenure of office is in the hands of
the governor. who is supposed to back,
and as matter Of fact, does back the
republican.members.
The scandal at the Feeble Minded In
stitute is strong argument against
the bipartisan feature. One party or
the other ought to be responsible to the
people for it.and yet neither has been
so held by them generally.
A lecherous old creature, whose only
claim to republican favor was that he
had renowned democracy and become
turncoat, was appointed superintendent
Of the Feeble Minded Institute, many
Of whose inmates being so devoid Of
mind that they would starve to death
at table of food if they were not fed.
Taking advantage of.the condition of
one of the female inmates. this fend
in human form detained her at his will
and when the sin could no longer be
hidden, he was permitted to escape the
wrath to come by fight and is still at
large, it now being claimed for him
that he is crazy and in one of the South
American republics. So far we have
observed no effort on the part of the
Legislature to investigate this most
horrible of scandal, to the end that
thJse who connived at the escape of
the brute or tacitly permitted it shall
be exposed and punished. 1t is hoped
that such resolution will be introduc-
Cd at once and the whole nasty BUSH
ness be threshed out. If poor unfortu-
nate girls are to be the victims of such
brutes, then it were a thousand times
batter that they should be permitted to
die from hunger and neglect.
