The effort made by Senator Koalke yester day in the advocacy of hia bill for civil service reform is pronounced by all who heard it as exceedingly able and creditable. It was conceived upon a high par e of thought, and reveali much clo?e and pain:taking research. Patting aside prty trammel3ani traditions, the Senator reached a lavel .hat was at once conservative and praiseworthy. II13 mode of treating this subject was evidently appreciated by the majority, who gallantly met the Senator in asreaini to tha enrcsiment . of the bill. Without expressing any opinion upon tie merits of tho bill the thought occurs to us that the desire for civil service refsr u upon the part of the Ecpiblicia party ee:a tr have crown In intensity as the power to tfitct such reforms was graduilly ilirpiiH; from its grasp. Two decades ao it n!Sht La?e escaped the imputation of a eel-

fih greed for office had it advocated the reforms it now seeks to force upon the Damocratic party. Coming so late in the day the iuspicton naturally arises that something beyocd a pure, patriotic impulse inspires Republicanism in its alvocacy of civil service reform.

TOE NEED OF NEW INSANE TI05P1TALS IMPORTAN V STATISTICS. The bills now pending before the Legislature relating to the new hospitals for the icsane have called public attention to the cumber and condition of the insane ia this State. The centes ef 1?S0 returns that number at T,."30. Thi3 statement of the number has been challenged on the ground that it is too large. If so, it ought to hi out of harmony with the returns for other States and countries. The table below will illustrate the compari son as to this point. It is based on the census Of 13S0: a as a Stat ks. 5 O o

In the above litt Eagland and Massachueeits have given the moat prolongeiaudcircf ul attention to the collection of social sttti?t!c?. As to all other matters relating to tcciel conditions and development their reports are regarded as the highest authority. Tfe.umably the agents of the Census Ii drain did not neglect the means nor the information the 8taie night furnish when th?y took this census. The natural tendency ot the public ij to suppress information of this character, and those who have sought to gather euch statistics Lava found cause to corrplain of the difficulties encountered. The insane member cf a family is generally a skeleton ia the closFt whose existence is not more widely published by those interested ia It than necessity requires. Tne census taken is more apt to be met by a denial against tha truth than by ?.n affirmance when the fact3 do not justify such disclosure. If the above tab'e haj any significance it shows that the census for Indiana is too small rather than too large. The rate of increase of population for Indiana daring the last decade wa3 about 1'.' per cent. If we add t per cent, to tee population of 1S80, tho result will not ba far from our present population. If the insane have increased ia a like ratio, we should aid ."17 to our insane populatisn &i then returned to arrive st the number at the present time. This would give us 3 17. Thi3 leads us to the question, how mach hospital room is r qiired? A CDns'derabia nnmber of this 3 s i7 insane would never hud their way to tie hospital, however much room is provided. It is not dtsiriible that they should. Many are of that uiet, inoffensive class who have means ad frisnds aieqaate to their :U I Olt. The number "who need and would find refage ir hofpltala is largely a matter o; 8 ecuation, but, within certain limits, experurce has furnished very safe and satis fctcjy testa. We may safely tffirm that no State has pushed its charities ia ta s direction so far a to'have more piscrs iraprop?rly conSned in its asylums, jvh and almt-hcu.t oa account of insanity who do not ce?d such ck fi"tT. cut than there are of insane out?ile who wolM ba benefited by hospital care. If those who do not require hospital cue or other foim of confinement were turned looLeaud thoea outside who do require it were substituted, the popolation o! the hospitals would 13 greatly increased. In th? table below will ba found statistics githered from the census of 1?S3, showing, as to eaca cf the tea diätes namso' (1) The nunib?r of insane. (2) The number in hospital 5. (3) The per cent, those in hospitals ber to the whole number of insane. (4 ) The number at home. (Ö) Tha per cent, o! insane at home. (Gj TU3 per cent, ia hospitals, almshouses, and other p!acs of restraint. It should be remembered that in addition to the number found ia hospitals there are in every State a number to ba found in almshouses, jails, etc. S3 i States.

Since 1SS0 the State of Illinois had added to her hespita! capacity provisions for more than l.T'CO inmatts. This gives her hospital acccramodations for about 3. TOO patient?, and she now has in her hospitals one person fcr about every W0 of her population. Ohio i3 adding hospital room tor 1,000 mere. When that ia completed she will have room for one person in about every 775 of her population. Indiana had hospital room for only 920 in 15.-0; tince thea she has added thereto, until now the has 1,420 in her hospitals, being one in about every 1,020 of her present population. If additional room is provided for 1.C30 patients, as is contemplated in the plans fcr the new bcspitali for the insane,

she will then have provision mado for one in every S;3 of her population as it is eitimated at the present time. Is that more than enough? It would give hospital room for '-Z per cent, of our insane population. Dy referring to the table above it will be seenlhat, in 1S0, six of the ten States thsre named bad that proportion, or a greater, of their insane under some form of actual restraint by the public, and ia no case has a hcpital capacity, not greater than thi, although taxed to its utmost, been sufficient to relieve the alms houses and jails of their insane population. It would be a gross mistake to suppose that the "At Home" column of the above table contains only those who are not fit subjects fcr care and restraint by the public. On the contrary, in this column are to ba fcucd very many whose condition appeals most strongly for public aid and sympjtfcy, and very many whese freolom is a constant peril to tho communities where they reside or may roam. The demand for hospital ccommod.iior, when once provided, is strongly illustrated by the cases of Massachusetts and California, as shown by the above table. Massa chusetts, with a X'Cpulation nearly 200.0X) less than Indiana's, had in 1330 in her ineane hcj-pltila 3 C inmates within 14-3 of the whole number returned aa insane in I::diata in that year. Adding to those in her hospitals the number col lined in jiiis and ain s hou?f s, we ficd that ehe had 3.7 iaspne pec'j-le uiider sorre form of public reEt air. t. Thi3 is a creater number than the census tases us with here ia Indians. I 1 California one fersen in every -130 is ia her hospitals. This proportion is in excecs cf our wkole itsate population as given in the censai. In New York one peson in eveiy 027 is in her asylums. Add to these the number accommodated in almshcusea and jaib, and we find that one nerton in every 530 is under public restraint E.3 auirsane person. Ohio had one out of every 710 of her population under restraint as en ii sane person ia 1S0, and is adding room for LOGO more. In the light of these facts it would eeem that a provision for one person in every J3 ia not extravagant even here iu Indiana, although her people may justly claim to rank Very high as a ' level-headed" population. When the new hospitals are completed this will be the provison ruade.

AN OVERSTOCK OF "RED TAPE." A capital eractment cf the Legislature wouM be such aa amendment to the law relating thereto as should put a ttop to tho expensive folly of bringing to this city twice ayejrthe tchocl revenues cf the various counties. Time sums from the ninety-two counties only remain a few weeks and then ruuj-t be transported, in whole or in part, back lo tha ninety two coantie3 for distribution to the township3 for school purpose. Whence tho necessity and ffhete the benefits of tuch a policy? How ia Steubea County or the Stata , VeneQted by tho County Treasurer britging down to the State Treasury Steuben's assessment for s;hool purposes and thsn, a month ortwo later, cou ioR down, drawing It out of t'ae Stite Treasury and taking it back &zn. Thera are some 03 mile9 of travel if he comes ia perron, End for what end? Why not have each county retain and d sbur. e ifssuessment for school purposes, or such part of it as the apportionment allows it? Tate Eikhart, for eiamp'e, on the northern border, who:-e a3esan8it of $16,742.21 is only 15.50 mcra than its apportionment of $1,5S3.71 why have it send it 3 a-sessmjnt to 'he State Treasury and theo weekah'er eei d fcr its apportionment? Why not have it simply remit the t xce:s of 15S 30? Twice per year the counties seal to the S.'ate Treasury about 1,000,00) ior 2,000.000 per annum) for school purposes, and twice a jear take about $1,000.000 aay again. This prcce.c3 involves expense somewhere. Who bears it? The weeks this su ti lies ia the State Treasury it is withdrawa from the counties. Why not let such part of it es must go to the counties remain in ttem? It ia not unfrequently the case tht the school authorities are inconvenienced for the want, in the interim, of this eame money. To mere fa'.ly iilustrata enr argument, we give rem the Stata Auditor's reports th monthly Treasury balances for the thcilyear ending October 31, 1SS4: Pocen-ber 1, 1SS3... lar.uary 1. 1;M I ebruary 1.

It will be observed that the January und June bs 1 ances are swe'led encrmoutly by the school assessments. Daring December and May the County Treasurers, regardless of distal ce cr inconvenience, must travel to ihe capital, to bring their a?ses3Qcents. During January and June the County Treasurers, regfcrdles3 of inconvenience and distance, must come to the capital again to take back their apportionments- like that no'ed phtlanx tnat marched up the hill and then marched down again. There is enough "red tapt" in the process to supply the dry goods uarietof the country. Ficm the statement of monthly balances it is eeen that vthile that for May 1 waa S3f12tl, the balance for June 1 was $l,'Jt'3,$33 cr a difference of $1,2."; I 020 02. Bot on July 1 the balance is $7iO,73S.i a shrinkage in thirty days of 5:07,095.17. But if tti3 entire sum of X7,00.17 be charged to the ccuntiea all will not have received their jcbocl fund, for the aggregate apportioameat was n,GC0,44l.76 or $143.310 . 7) more than the State Treasury disbursed in the month of June. So we ee that about $l,COO,uOO is drawn in from the counties needlsly, and that after thiity days there are, at "least,

?1 13,3 16.r: still unreturned to the counties and possibly three times that amount. Are the counties and the school districts benefited by thi3 withdrawal of the money from them? If so. how? Is the State banented by this money which belongs to the counties and the school districts, lying ia the State Treaeurj? If so, wherein? Will the Legislators not put an end to this folly and the ills that ensue from it?

LIcDONALD AND THE CABINET. The dispatches for days past have made a conspicuous topic of Ex Senator McDooald's prospect for a place ia Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet. It need Laidly be said that the interest manifested by the press and the exSenator's friend? i3 spontaneous. It has not been stirred by any request of or hint from him. He haa held that Cabinet appointments should be the voluntary o3ering3 cf the President. Aked if he would accept a portfolio at the hard of Mr. Cleveland he does not put on the coy air of a girl being courted. If the appoiLt r.ent is one which he is adapted to he will cheerfully be of whatever service he may to Mr. Cleveland's administration. Rut asked to petitioa or havehis frieads petition for a place in the Cabinet, he would refuse in short meter. Ke has too delicate an appreciation of Mr. Cleveland's portion; and too high a tense of manhood to seek to so advise the I'reiident-elect. But it i? certain tkat Mr. McDonald has a 1 ost of friends, evci outäide of Indiana, who would ba delighted at seeing him called into the Cabinet. As fir Indiana, it in almcet be said that her citizens, regardles of party, to a man, .desire hia appointment. In thi3 malter it is scarcely less than a test of loyalty cr d'sloyalty to the Mate to be for or against McDonald, and we can say that under this test Indiana has, so far aa we have observed, only loyal sons. From youth to mature age, in war and in pt;u e, a public st and private citizsn, Joseph E. McDonald has never been an inch bslow the patriot. His services are stamped upon tha laws of tha State, upon her good name and prosperity. As a partisan he has been the inspiration cf liberality. Among brother Democrats he ha3 ever been eelf sacrinciug. He ia an ablo man, a cor rect man, aa earnest man. He h.u dis charged every trnet to whic'i the people have assigned him with credit to himself ana suisiiction to them. And n ne goes into the Cabinet, there is a State fall of "Iloosier" voter3 to -fand 'surety for his ac'juittiug himtelf ia auch manner as will please the FresirTer.t and the people. . THE JOURNAL AND FATHER O'NEIL Our saintly contemporary, the Journal, may be zealous, but it 33 at times inconsistent. It3 rel'gion tqnints. It ha9 a different creed for diilereot classes. The Journal charged Henry Ward Baecber with criminality because h9 supported Cleveland, but lauded the preachera who supported Blaine all excapt Rev. 4tR R. R." Barchard. When, a day or two since, Father O'Neil. a Catholic priest of this city, was deposed, the Journal declared it done because Father O'Neil carried a cane to Mr. Blaine, When Bishop Chatatd states in a cird that Father O'Neil waa dismissed for entirely different reasons, the Journal virtually accuses the Bishop of uttering a falsehood. Tb.9 Journal's ire is pmondsdly aroused 1 y what it conceives to ba a spirit to abridge irdependenco cf conscience on the pait cf tie Lhhop or the Roman Church. But, leaving B.shop Cliatard's card aside, is not one minister entitled to exerc.sa independence of conscience as well as another? Did l ot Mr. Batcher and other clergymen have the right of their convictions aa well as Filher O'Neil and others? Or doe3 our rei.?hbcr assume tbequi Ii y omciscienceand undertake to read the souls of these ministers and adiud.e' some sincere tnd others false? It would appear that it has assumed this qutlity of the Godhead in its dealing with ministers. Those who approved Mr. Blaine (all except poor Barchard) were saints in the Journal's ejes, and all disapproving him s'nofrs. And now it goe3 to the extent of challenging the probity of a Bishop, merely because that prelate chanced to have dis placed a prlett who carried a cane to Mr. Blaine.
