WT.I uh n no With (Me Insnnc. The New Yerk A'mi.cemtnentlng uHn the end death of Clmrlea Dehuonlce thinks that It Is the duty of the re ntlvea et these who nre net of beuiuI mind te put them Inte asylums, where alone tlicy L u, properly watched and cared for. With certain limitations, the Judgment of the Sun In this matter Is Bound ; per per tens who are Insane, without lucid Inter vals, or who are likely te be dangerous te ethers In their Insanity, should cer tainly be confined In asylums. Tender ness for the afflicted friend need net prevent his confinement when he Is net in condition te be grieved nt It or Its cause, and a proper sense of what Is due te ethers will always call upon the Judi cious friends et these who are violently Insane, even though only at Intervals, te put them under guard. But Mr Delmonlce'a case was net one, apparently, which called for hU confine ment In au asylum, slnce he had lucid Intervals and was harmless in Ills mad ness, save te hlmself. The question is whether It was mere humane lehltu te confine him in an asylum, te his infinite distress in his sane moments, or te lake the risk of his wandeilng away as he did te a solitary death en the frozen slope of the Or.mge mountain. Mr. jJelruonlce'a wealth enabled him te be provided with attendants, te whose fail ure of duty his lonely wandering wa3 due. Te such disaster as befel him he would have been liable even In an asylum where the guard Is net se habitually vigi lant as te guarantee the friends of the in mates ugalnst their escape. Hut a few days age such an inmate escaped from a New Yerk institution In the night time, and was found dead at a distance from It In the morning. There Is a class et persons, however whose, confinement the law Bheuld re qnlre their relatives te secure, upon their assurance of their Insanity. It Is that class or man killers whose fi lends are ever ready te swear te their insanity when they are put en trial before a jury. YdungNuttls the present case of this kind which invites public attention te the criminal responsibility of these who declare and swear that they have long known their prisoner friends te be insane nnd Irresponsible fur their deeds. X utt's relatives rise up new with this unani mous testimony, and their physician corroborates them. Hut surely if Nutt was thus deranged, and they knew It, was It net their clear duty te put him iu such confinement that he could net de the deed, which for weeks it was threatened that he would de ? Before Duke's death it. was the common report that young Nutt would slay him. We remember that It was reported that Dukes himself said that he feared such anactef t gr.iuce freru tins member of the N ult family. Nutt's relatives can not plead ignurauce of this. Yet one of them is found pistol practising witli him en the day en which Dukes was slain. "We are net new expressing any opinion en the testimony in Null's case as te whether he was sane or otherwise when ' he killed Dukes The suggestion we make Ins only this extent that if tilt's friends knew, as they new swear they did, that he was inespensibly insane when he killed Dukes they are in fact responsible for tne killing, and should be punished by a just law. There is ue safety in permitting the natural custod ians of these of unsound mind te escape from legal leapenslbility for the criminal acts of their charges, w hen ills shown that they could well foresee and prevent them, Perhaps if the consequences of a prisener'd crazy acts weie te be visited upon his friendly witnesses, there would be fewer crazy prisoners.

In common council, with the aid of the Democratic voters, Mr. Kfllugham 11. Merris, a reputable man, was elected ever David II. Lane, the notorious politician and rlngster. This result was net achieved, however, entirely by the friends of geed municipal government. Factional considerations entered Inte It. It Is ene phase of the llcree quarrel between the state and city rings of the Itepublican party In Phila delphia, which has existed there for some years, and which largely Inllueiiced McManesin his belt against Grant at the Chicago convention in ISM), inoie than anything else influencing the defeat of the Stalwarts then. When McManes came up for reelection as gas trustee he was knifed and had te withdraw te escape defeat. Xew he lias made Lane drink the same fatal draught, and the war be tween these Interests may be expected te continue and te even eutei into the appreachlug city elections. When rogues fall out there is a chance for honest men, nud in tins quarrel there Is the glimmer of hope for Philadelphia; but If the Democrats want te reap any advantage from it, they may a' wdl kick out of their organization the tunes and traitors, whose ainliatleus with the party are mere hurtful than theii open opposition could be. l.lVI.MI atcciml IN Ul.OS Kit. I n rl'ltib Orii navy has cost us $31, 097, 435. One grows pale at the thought of the possible surplus had there bceu no navy. Tuesn who wish t) vote at the muulci pal election ou Feb. 10, should see te It that thelr t ixes are iaid before te morrow night. The machine iu Philadelphia is uet dead but only sleeping.

In f.ict, we have no navy. Opinions may differ as te whether or net we need one, but there seems te be common agreement th.it what we have new Is worthless for the purposes that a navy Is supposed te exist for. The vessels are either clumsy and out of date in their original design or im perfect in construction, nnd it is said that even ler defensive purposed the American navy would net keep any ordinary third class power from ravag ing our coast and battering down our sea-poi ts. There Is no apparent danger of this, and the system of torpedo defenses and harbor protection Is being se elab orated that we may net need war tlnps for difeuee j nor Is it likely that we will Boen have le send any en iii!gresdive missions ; but it uuy b.) taken for granted that if Congress will net order new ships the department will go en re pairing thu old eiicj at a rate of expend iture almost equal te that of fitting out a new navy. Iu answer te a Senate resolution the Information has been ceinmuniCiiUd te that body that while the ninety two vessel new borne en the navy register originally cost $10,700,01:1 the repairs en them have thus tar amounted te $11, -0),s2. Seme time age it was disclosed that a government ves sel was auctioned off aseld iron at about $20,000 and then Jehn Kench put In a bill for $37,000 for s'orage of the ship in the yard. It will thus be seen that the navy extols for one purpose at least, that Is for 'repairs." m mm hi Mine mid Leeds. The election of gas trustees in Phila delphia yesterday resulted In the re election le that elllce by select council et Leeds, the chairman or the Itepubli can city committee, nud Klttcnheuse, a member of the beard who acts with Leeds ; and they, together with their associates, help te manipulate the im mense patrenage of this importune elllce te the benefit of their party. Tlie Ite publican majority In select council is se large that the responsibility for their election ever better men must rest with that party, but had all theso et the members who call thoniBelvea Domo Demo Dome cratu, supported nnd steed by the Dem ocratic aud Independent nominees, they might have been successful. McMullln, Hetrlck nnd O'Hourke were the traitors; they doubtlejs will receive their reward from the beneficiaries et their votes ; Tub United Slates have uet a staudiug army like some of their European breth ren, but they will pay out this year 30,000,000 in pensions. The facility with which evidence is hunted up te prove James Nutt's itube itube eility, uew that it is necestary te acquit him, is ail the mere rem irkable from tbe faet that the discovery is se recent. A meieukm is said te be en feet te prefur charges against at lea-.t tlve of the supreme court judges of New Yerk ou the ground that there is evidence geme te show that decisions faverable te corpora tions have beeu reudered by them for pecuniary consideration. It, is a sad Commentary en the oeuditiou of justice in t'ie Empire state when proceedings of this kiud are necessitated. The elllce of ju lge should be above even the breath of suspicion. Dragging the ermine through the dust of ajii.lieul investigation tueaus tbe attendant degradation of the idea of justice in the eyes of the people. Bieinus the absolutely feieiu element of this oeuntry's population, there is a very considerable number whoke status is of siutucance iu considering our compos ite nationality, by reason of the fact that though native, they have been beru of ene or leth fereigu pireuts. Fer the first time the census of 1SS0 gives u clue te the contribution te this total number by ttie 60veral f. reign countries from which our immigration is drawn. Thus while there are betweeu live aud six millions of tbe population of feieigu bit th there are nearly as many born iu this ceuuiry of p"ents, oue or both of whom weie for eign b ru. In billowing this tabulation further some interesting features r.re ,1m covered. The predominance of the tiuin bur having ferwc.ii fathers but natne mithetc, ever thohe of foreign mothers, but native fathers, is manifestly due te the fact that larger numbers of unmarried men then unmarried women ceme hither from abroad. It is retnarkable what dif fercut aptitudes aie displayed by the for eigu elements for Intermarriage with the native. Whi'e the Ocrmnns marry pre demiuantly ameug their unu jieople they y.eid fieely te coiisideiatieus of personal adaptiver.esH, affection, pecuniary iuterest or propinquity, and iu some states ouo euo oue fifth of the Germau population are born f American mother. In the Seuth ihjuc tally, the Iiish born people intermarry freely with natives, acd generally speak iug there is fieer intermarriage uf thu foreign with the native pcople as we pass from East te West aud from North te Seuth Mnrnlni: liuU Anitknil ,t Or I tin Hi i:uiil jr inl rsmruwljr Kurtpiug Ull'i Tlitlr l.hc, News reached Jacksonville, Flerida, Thursday afteiuoen, that the Suwauoe Sulphur Springs hotel, nt Suwaiiee, preb ably tlie finest Htrueliire of the kind in Flerida, war burned nt an eirly hour Thursday morning The tire suddenly broke out ou the seoeml ll )or of the build lug, iiirectly ever the kitchen.

The menu, which lay above the souvenir volume was brimming with fuu and formidable with an array of viand sufficiently rich au l varied te vm dicate the club's motto '.Vtiea we live, we live iu clever." Ttie tabic decorations were tniivels of beauty but scarcely tneie wenderlul than some of the dishes prepared for the oeca- meu. The ceutr.ll table was ei me imir leaved clever shape and the herse shoe table eucircletl it. Frem the ceutie of tbe quadnfoliate arose what was apparently n large tree with luxur.aut foliage, from whose branches depeu led htiew white camnllias, although, as a tu itter of fact, the art of the llen.st hud simply, iu this ctfert, hid an object onable pillar aud gracetully ornamented the centre el the ceiling. At the bee of ihr vme-entwitietl trunk scarlet blosems tiestled iu a bank of mess.

On the opposite side of the table was a similar tljral piece, the frame, however, being el lien Sileae blossoms and the qu.itrefeil of deej) red carnations. At the end of the stem of the clever table was a bread and high plaque of ferns and mess, in the coutre of which was placed a large clever blossom of white and junk e irn itiens. At frequent intervals were handsome tl jr.tl pliiiues aud pyramids.

Similar colors and cavalry gui gui eons draped many of the doorways. During the progress of the dinner two uncouth uewabeys rushed into the room, shouting "Clevor Leaf Here's your Clever Leaf, ssventcenth and last edition' Twe cents'." This was a surprise. It was a newspaper, punted socially for the occasion, containing a budget of news and gossip about the outertainment which was then iu progress. Nearly every ene present was dished up iu this publication in a humorous vein , aud while the com p my was discussiug this innovation it was t irtled by the sharp tapping of ''-e presi dent's gavel. Immediately Mr. Geerge C.

When thu terrapin had becu pissed with unction, aud the last sweet notes of a selection by the orchestra had died away, the lights of the chandeliers were lowered te a mere , glimmer, and a strange silouce pervaded the room. Tuen there entered a slowly moving train bearing objects that threw out the colors of the rainbow. Again it was a procassien of waiters this time, however, bearing cnUci aud churches made of water ice. Within tbesu odd shapes were brilliant lights that shed their rays through miuiature windows and doers ; then followed in rapid succession ether gastronomic feats, oratorical dis plays aud musical exhibitions.
