of the people.
"D" AND THE ASYLUM.
Tho four objections assigned by
"D." in the morning paper, to the
establishment of tho proposed lu-
natic asylum at Fort Worth, present
curious problems in political and do-
mestic economy, and if tho philoso-
pher had given his namo to tho pub-
lic along with his''reasons for think-
ing so," tho public might therefrom
have drawn inspiration to solvo tho
difficulties involved in his proposi-
tions. Boilod down, tho four " rea-
sons" given amount to very little,
and the residuum is scarcely worth
noticing. Lunatics "bring no mate-
rial value," they "add nothing to tho
social or civil upbuilding of tho
place," tho keepers, doctors, matrons,
attendants and laborers "will add
very little to the community," and,
Anally, tho institution will mnko a
perpetual cor nor on *.'oggs and but-
ter," and tako all that tho farmers
roundabout can produce. It is ad-
mitted that the lunatics will bring no
money in their own pockets to spond
in "social" life or squander on the
"civil" government; and it is aleo
admitted that tho institution will
croate a market for garden and dairy
products and the fruit of tho hennory.
Tho state and tho friends of tho un-
fortunato inmates aro oxpccted to
furnish the "material" aid, whilotho
"social" and "civil" relations of tho
l istitution to tho city will probably
bo conducted by persons oi culruro,
scientific attainments and good char-
acter, as it is not likely that any
other class would bo solocted to tako
chaigo of such an institution. Tho
eggs and butter question is
not so easily disposed of. Five hun-
drod lunatics and a hundred sane at-
taches would certainly coneumo a
great many eggs and a vast amount
of butter—perhaps a few chickens
and cabbages—and the apprehension
that tho price of theso commodities
would bo enhanced is therefore well

The discussion emphasises tho ne-
cessity for a branch asylum. While
tho institution is ''absorbing" "all
tho eggs and butter," "in its reach
for miles around," tho bulls will be
bellowing and the roosters crowing
over tho wholesalo merchants of Fort
Worth, because they cannot vie with
St. Louis and New Orleans in selling
groceries, etc., to theso "persons,"
who aro "little bettor" than "watch-
ers in tho cemotcry over grave-
stones." Bettor quit boiling up tho
old hens and butchering tho old
cowe, there are breakers ahead for
wholesale merchants and boarding-
house keepers.
Tub Daily Democrat has reliable
intelligence from Austin that Fort
Worth can probably sccure the loca-
tion of the Branch Asylum if her
citizens desiro it. Tho locating
commission will visit tbo city with
no prejudice against her claims, and
with no personal antagonisms to in-
flucnco their judgment. Governor
Ireland is known to favor tho bill,
and regards Fort Worth as an eligi-
ble point. Many of tbo senators of
middle, east, north and west Texas
aro aiding Mr. Chambors in his ef-
forts to pass the bill and have the
asylum located here, and . there is
positively no opposition worth
•peaking of ezoept that manifested
through the columns of the Gazette.
The bill passed thg hQUfo with only
founded; but it is a law of supply
and demand that when tho luttor is
oxcossivo tho former is suro to moot
it by increased cntcrprise*and pro-
duction. The dairy mon could easily
add a few hundred milkers to their
dairy stock, and the iartners gep-
orally, finding tho fruit of tho lion
in demand, would loso no timo in
filling up their henneries with "im-
ported" bicoJs that would havo tho
"genius" to lay two eggs a day.
Aftor all, "D" gives away tho whole
question, in this regard, in saying
that "such an institution will absorb
all theso things in its roach for miles
around, as it cau arrango to tako
these things for tho whole year apd
pay more than the current market
price."

The Staunton Vindicator Is responsi-

meeting in the -First-Presbyterian

It must be a pretty hard time on poer

Miss Brainlette and Mr. H. E. Ask-
