ERIE, Feb. I.—lulious Kevin. a prac
tiliotier of this city for more than hall
a century, and at one lime Erie'* lerd'
in*; physician, make* allegation* of the
most shocking cruelty nntoiig the in
sane inmates ol the a*ylutu at Ihxinon l .
Dr. Seein returned lo Erie a few day*
ago after sojourning eight year* in tt.e
as>lum a* an insane patient. Hi* dis
missal was brought about by jiowcrful
local influence exerted in his fattor, and
be now slates that, but for gross dec. p'
tion he ought to have been restored to
his home and friendssteven years ago.
About eight years ago Dr. Kevin's mind
gave way under a sad bereavement, and
he was committed to Dixmnni for treat,
ment. lie stales that in eighteen
months he had regained bis mental lac
ulties and applied for a discharge, but
was told to be satisfied where he so.
All his letters addressed to hi* family
in Erie never went beyond the asylum,
and he saj* lie was submitted to the
moat bitter indignities. All the pathetic
appeals for restoration were unheeded
and month after month, and year after
year rolled on without a chance of ca
caps, until some month* ago when the
he*rt of a young attendant, named
George Hutter, wa touched by Dr. Ke
vin's pitiful condition and heron*ented
to mail the D .clor'a letters, detailing
the horror* of bis captivity. The letter*
reached hi* friend* here who had begun
to think hi* case incurable, and the
President Judge lion. William 11. (>*l
braitb, interested hiroe|f in the matter.
The result was that the doors of Dm
monl were thrown open to Dr. Kevin
The old gentleman says one of bis com
panions, a young man named Thieb, id
Pittsburg, who also recovered, was de
tained and brutally kicked by a keeper.
He fell insensible, an l in falling inflict
ed a terrible gath in his head. In a few
days he died and the Superintendent
of the hospital, Dr. Heed, received a
report that Tbieb had died frm a fit ol
epilepsy. Dr. Kevin al-o declares that
Mr. Constantino Urinated, an accom

fined in Dixmorit today with no hope
of releif. Ob, I could mention instance*
of men who are imprisoned victim* of

A Keptilit Iran Plunder.
The Republican* who have openly as
aerted that they expect to regain power
through the agency of democratic blun
dare, have themselves taken to blunder
• / ing in a most unmistakable was. The
maonerin which tbey have trifled with
the tariff ta a striking example of tils
fact. It undoubtedly was at first the
intention of the republican majority in
congress to frame an obnoxious tariff
bill and an delay it that the democrats
would defeat it by filibustering. The
democrats were confidently relied upon
to do this snd lhu* aid the majority lo
make political capital for the re üblican
party. This was to be one of the demo
cratic blunders that was to boost the
republican party back into power, but
unfortunately for the latter it waa not
made.
m
During t.ll the time this neatly con
eeived scheme waa being perfected the
majority completely forgot its duly to
the jieople. Suddenly the majority ia
-cared half out of ita wits by the dis
covery that the scheme ha* failed. It
finds republican organs of influence like
the New York TViAiois appealing to it
in this style : ''Congress has only about (
one month left, in which to finish action
on matters of surpassing importance-
Business throughout the country is
much disturbed ; millions of working
ruen and wonen nnd capital amounting
to thousands of millions look to the
iction of senators and representative*
for relief. It ta important to realize that '
ailure to act at this session will prolong
lie uncertainty and consequent stag :
nation until next winter, unless the!
••resident should deem it his duty to <
oil an extra session." It is now that
lie dilemma inio which ilia party serv
i >g majority has worked itself, begin*
to *pp ar with startling plainness. A*
ne Tribune further says, and lias often I
been pointed out by the democratic j
jo iritsln ''This Congress deliberately
d Clded at the Inst session, after wenrt
oine di*cu*sion, that it coul-l not prop
ei-ly attempt to act upon evny detail
of a tariff bill without previ us inve-t •
gition by a commission of experts. It
created sucli a comnii-sion, whose work
ha* now been care ully revised* by the
chosen committees of f>oth House*.''
Phe majority in the present t'ongn**
ibruptly realize* the unpleasant fart
i fiat it will be held res|mnible by the
waiting and anxinu* people for the p- ,
-age of a tnritl bill and that, no demo j
ci a' ic blunder will be made by winch |
ibe republican parly may be aided in ,
future campaigns.

WASUINUTOX. February " —Alter two
lays' debate the amendment to the u- !
gar schedule offered by Mr. M<>rrill in j (
behalf of the Committee on finance, was
adopted in the Senate, The debate d* j
veloped a surprising diversity of opin
ion upon question* that should be *u*- ! (
eeptibleof mathematical demonstration-
Three member* of the Finance Com
m ttee found it impo-ntle until the
la-1 hours of the debate to agree a* to
wh*t w<<uld fa- the equivalent in adval
orem term* of the Monill amendment, j
It was then virtually concede I that the 1
amendment would impose a duty equiv
alent to 4."1 per cent, on sugar.
Mr. Morrill had maintained that Ibis
amendment ass equivalent loan a<lva
lorent cJutv ol about .'JO per rent , which
on the ban# of the l*i year's import*
lions, would entail a reduction of s'■ >. j

reduction would t>e|| | OOOOltO.and still j
I iter po*ibly f (ttSMRIO. Mr. ."sherrnxn
stubbornly maintained that the adva
lorcm equivalent would be per nnt..
suppoit og till* new with elatirirate r
gument*. Mr. Aldrich at length demon
strated that the equivalent would lie
4} per cent., and that the reduction
would amount to only about ssissi (*t. /
Upon this calculation lie sought to
amend the schedule so as to effect a re j '
duct ion of aliou- tl !.•■• <>.

the extent of about one-fifth the pre*

two propositions, the Morrill amend '
ment discriminates in lavor of the
I-ouitiana planters. •
No objection was urged in the Senate '
to the clause providing for the use ot
the polariacope, for the re**on that un
der the proposed law a difference ola

Time to ( lose Them.
The Polttville .Visrri' Journal, a lead
ing Republican journal of ita section, wd'
not be accused of any partisan or un
patriotic purpose* in its opposition to a
continuance of orphans soldier's schools
efter the year IBfts. at which limp it i*
contemplated by the existing law that
they shall f>e closed. They haveservid
a laudable purpose in their operation;
and, for the most pari, in carrying out
their plan they have been a great credit
to Pennay Ivania, to her acliool system
and to her gratitude toward her soldiers.
But by 1885 the war will have been
closed twentv years. There can be no
inmate of these schools who wa* net
born four years after the close of the
war and whose orphanage ia therefore
due very remoteiely to It. The bounty
ol our state in this matter has been ex
ceptional, and, though it baa been
abused, no right minded citixen ia dis
posed to take exception lo what has
been dune nor to what ia contemplated
fry the law a* it stand*. But when it i*
proposed to extend the time lor closing
theae schools to 1890, and to spend SI,
500,000 more upon them, there is
ground for suspicion that private ami
not public interests are lo bo served by
this measure. The superintendent of
public instruction nml of these schools
reports Mint fry that time there will be
on Ihe rolls of these schools, without
any furl her admission* and not. count
ing discharge* on order 1,770 children,
stiil a*ks what ia to be done wbout it.
Upon this ground, too,theGrantl Army
of the Republic ask* for the extension
of their time of closing. But this great
number of inmates ut this period only
proves the laxity of the law of admis
sions or the loosener-* of it* administra
tion. D these seventeen hundred
children shall for two years more en
joy privilege* far beyond those of tin
oilier children of the state they will
have had all the advantage due theru.
It would probably lea good thing if Dwt
stale could clothe, Iced ami educate all
the poor and orphan children within its
limits, but until it undertakes to do
thi* it should make no further disrriini
nation in behalt of tho-c ot soldiers who
d ed four year* niter tire close of the
w*r. l*inratt- r / htelli/fnrer.

Just here *eversl more horns of the
dilemma present themselves to the nor
vnu* and excited msjority. I* there
time left for the passage of a tariff bill
before the present Congress goes out of
existence? The bill now !>efore the
hno*c an revised in committee with
the intention of making it meet organ
ixed democratic opposition. This it ha*
Isiled to do, but now that it has fie
come neceesary to pass the measure
many republican memfiera find that it
la in many retpeef* not entirely aatis
factory to them and their eonstituen
riea. Amendment* hsve been pouring
in upon the spesker in perlect stream*,
a* each section is taken up, *0 that the
1 rogre** thu* fr made ha* been eias
peratingly slow and the chance* of the
final passage of the hill are dai y gtow,
ing less. Then, again, in the beginning
it wa* not considered sharp party |-olic>
by the re| uhbrana to settle the tariff
questional this session of congress. If
the responsibility for keeping it open
could have been placed upon the dem
oerata it waa fondly hoped that the
question could be advantageously used
by the republican* in the neat presi
dential canvass. If the bill ia passed
now and the whole matter set at real,
at least for a time, what are the repub
lleana to do for campaign material* in
