It is getting tobe a great question of
interest what to do with the rapid in
crease in the asylums and penal institu
tions of the state. Every insane asylum
in the state is crowded to its utmost
capaoity, as the numbers have been
greatly augmented during the past few
yearsof financial depression. At the
Hastings asylum alone there are over
500 incurables, and the other two state
institutions, at Norfolk and Lincoln, are
also crowded. The expenses of keep
ing these unfortunates is increasing, and
we cannot see from a perusal of the re
ports of the state auditor that the pop
ulist appointees of these institutions
have made any great reforms and reduc
tions in expense in any institution. On
the other hand they have been involved
in trouble among themselves, the inves
tigation of which has been more or less
expensive to the state and when the
report of 1896 is made up, the great ro-
form party will have many additional
and expensive sins to explain away. Ro
publicans have nothing to fear in the
years of the ir conduct of state institu
tions as compared with that of the past
two years under the present regime.
The next report of the auditor will be a
historical pamphlet well worth preserv
ing. Grand Island Independent.

Thepcpirifet state central committee
will meet at Hastings on the 17th for the
purpose of selecting fifty-one delegates
to the St. Louis populist convention.
It is just possible that this committee
will call a convention but we understand
it to be the purpose of the committee to
name the delegates without any refer
ence to what the body of populist voters
in Nebraska desire in the matter. In
this case we feel it our bounden duty to
sound a warning. What sort of consis
tency is it in a party which believes in
the referendum to refuse to refer such
an important matter as the selection of
a presidential candidate to the people?
