EKK | The c-oinmuUco on finance , ways mill
moans of the sonnto paid a visit to the peni-
Itontiary and the insane asylum yesterday
and found a great , many thiinji to engross
their attention , The cells \voro all occupied
In the former place and o.ieli contained two
Inmates. The eommltto , liowovorvasun -
dc"idod as to whether or not the state was in
n financial coiulltion to undertalco the erec
tion of another cell-house at the present
tinio ,
Thov found the Insans asylum nretty full
of Inmntos but they also found that n great
donl oi team \vi\t occuploit by the superin
tendent which otherwise ought to ho given
over to the patients. Valuable room was
also taken up by others ot the oflloial .stair
which could bo put to greater ad vantage In
Bhclterinusoinoof the poor people wlionro
clamoring for admission. Such a chniiffo ,
however is not appreciated by tliOMiverln-
teiidciit , who makes n strong demand upon
the legislature for an addition to the asylum ,
a request which It is not likely will bo
grunted.
tipoal < hi on this subject Senator Coulter
said "My impression is that there ought to
bo adiffeient order introduced into the hos
pital , The oflleor.s should be accommodated
in asmnllplnln building separated from the
asylum. In which they could establish tholr
otllees and transact all the business devolv
ing upon iliem. Thuro Is another thliiR that
I don't think Is exactly right. They have a
dmlng rooii for each ward. Now , Hint con
sumes a gr-at deal of room and ought to bo
climiKcd. There ought to boa Inrgo dining
room for men and nnot her for women. That
is all , "it it would economize room and sivo ;
oxiwuso in help , because it would not require
so many as it does now In the small dining

rocky experience in the senate. It will not

democrats because Governor lioyd has not

llii.j--Thovisits : nuido hy the lliianco coin-
mlt tee and those having In charge tlm sev
eral state institutions which Lave Just been
made have resulted In the discovery that tlio
stntohas liu'u rubbed of thousands of dollars
bv incompetent architects , designing .super-
IntenilanUs and dl.shono.st contractor's. All of
these have been nldinl or abetted or In sonw
way oiie.our.iod ! by people In the towns in
which tlio wretched abortions called public
institutions have lieen erected.
SpeaUlntfOf the soldiers1 nud sailors' homo
nl Grand Island , said Senator Coulter :
" \\Tiy , tnat building Is unsafe lo live in.
They hud to use big bars to pull bnelt a wall
which was falling down. They drew ilupan
inch , but ills still out of plumb by halt' an
inch.
"The Norfolk asylum looks llkon great big
building and It Is anil you would think It
ought to nccnminoduto a great deal of
patients , lint it doesn't , there's HO much
nioiii lost on the inside hy the manner in
which the oftlees nro laid out.
"Down at Hastings things uro wo wo still
and they ought to bo itllowcd to hillil an ad
dition tlit-re. They've got their kitchen and
laundry and other things of the kind fight
under sonic of the wards , which Is uhoniinn-
hie. The walls of the building are painted
and thnt hides tbo deformity sonioway. "
Solicitor Collins .said that before the walls
were painted tin1 Joints were so loose and the
brick so poor that the storms-actually beat
through them and destroy cd lloor ami ceilini ; .
TheMJ things go to xliow that the state ha ?
paid for anything nnd everything that COM-
tractors see lit to turn over to It us it public
institution no matter how poorly It may have
been constructed or how much money may
hnve been expended In It. ICven if It , is in
good condition when turned over , the hidden
weakness dlsplnvs itself before long , and
then repairs begin. These must continue or
else tin- building gradually becomes u moimca
to official force and Inmate.
"It is easy to understand why this Is the
cast- , said a senator today. The board of
public lands and Imildlnga can not imard
against the robbery. They nro not expert
builders. Tlioy can not superintend the con
struction of these buildings. The superin-
teiidentH they appoint stand In with the con
tractors in tlio majority of Instances , and the
contractors are on the make. There ought
to be one man rosnonsiblo for the pnblle
work. He ought to bo a super
vising architect , a man of ability
ami integrity. OS course his services
would eont something , but loolt what ho
wouldsavo. Ho would design buildings with
a view to iliolr enla.igenient Inter on. so that
the additions would bo In harmony ami not
wivtehe-J patch work. Ho would design
builillMg.s which would ho adapted to their
uses , and not the creation odlcklo fancy.
The niouoy lost nt I Lutings would pay his
salnrv for four .tears. How many of your de
partments can this he said of ) It ni.iy be too
late to introduce such a bill , but it must
comosomodav , nnd that before many more
.sessions of tlio legislature will have beeu
neld. "

BII : : . | Senator Taylor ot Uotip is coiilined to
his room with illness. During the last ad
journment ho was also unwell being corn-
polled to remain at homo.
There is a motion pending before tlio sen
ate which it is expected will bo called up
when ho is able to resume his scat. About a
week niro , the senator voted . /u n measure in
u. mutincr which did not satisfy the second
assistant s rgeant-nt-arms of the senate.
That gentleman accordingly took stops to
convey to tlio senator nn ovldcuro of his dis
pleasure. Ho accordingly .parchnsed seine
llowers and tying n plcco , of black cloth
around them , Induced a you'ug woman who
sells fruit In the mall hall of thocaoitol to deposit -
posit the hoinaict upon tlio scnatoc's desk ,
\Vlioii the fact bcc.uno known it was gen
erally felt by his brother senators , oven these
who liml not voted with him , that Sena
tor Taylor hsul been insulted. They
felt that if the time had arrived
for , an employe of the senate to
( inc'illoti the vote of a member of that body
It was nlso time for the employe to po either
higher or in some direction.
Asa consequence , the second assistant sar-
geaut at-arms has boon anxious for some
days nml has found tune tooxplaln Ids action ,
if iioean , to Senator Taylor. Whether the
ox pl.matlon has been satisfactory or not. to
the senator , will not probably boknown until
the resolution referred to shall bo called up ,
The latter provides for dispensing with the
services of the employe In question on the
ground that there is no demand for such an
ollicor as the second assistant sorgeant-at-
nrms.
Senator Taylor may not Insist in the con
sideration of the resolution though. Ills said ,
his brothor'senators will demand that the
employe In ijinutton make an apology for the
insult he has offered his superior.

in brief on which that gentleman has given
written opinions :
Messrs. Scliolierg and Itrown were elected
county commissioners under the nlil law
which paid a salarv of only Jl per day and

Mr. Snoll gives It as Ids opinion that the old
commissioners should ivcoivo ? lMMpr > r year
the same as the new ones nnd that none of
the commissioners nro entitled lo mileage.

Cardinal Itarnpolln at tlio outset took a firm
stand against the proposed change , and said
that the holy see would never yield the
[ loint. Kussia's hostility is therefore nt-
irihiiuiblo to this incident , and her candidate
for secretary of state bus been Cardinal Vim-
nutelll. Cardinal Vnnnutelli nssisted at the
coronation of the present ivnr , and on thnt
occasion created a very favorable Impression
in St. Petersburg.
The third fnctor which has bofl" working

tlio Kemnnadherents of C'ardinnl Vaiunitelli
and they have been periodically uniiouiicing

announcements with the statement of Ciirdt-

ilso said that the pope had decided to place

There is ono point upon which every re-
mblloan in cougiv.ss Is united. It Is that the
ainpnlfrn npxt year is to bo conducted upon
ntelligcut linos. The democrats swept the

'or Amorloan pnxlucts in foreiirn conntriivs ,
and the ciuiipletinn of important coninierciid
roatii's will Do winning cards for tbo reptib-

ninny respects now to the country , nud moro
or less complicated. Those fuels nro being

more printed matter circulated in the next
presidential campaign than In nil of thoMi
.vbich . have taken place during the pint
twelve years. It therefore devolves upon tbo
lattonnl committee to get to work with ils
editorial processes a ? early us possible. The
Tact has boei : pointud out that the u'reul ma

Tlio enlargement of Industrial pursuits in

whcro it Is possible to bnvo manufacturing
