In giving an account of the proceedings of the board of directors of the stiTR; hospital for the Insane; seems to seo "partisanship" in (he action of the board in appointing a netr set of assistant physicians, and quotes a letter from the old physicians declining to serve seven days over their term, ponding tho installment of thetr successors in office. It in but natural that these gentlemen should regret that they are obliged to give up their positions, to which they were appointed through the- same sort nf Influences that their successors have been appointed. Having enjoyed for years the fruits of Democratic victory they do not like to let go. Be that as it may, it is not the main point involved In the protest chey addressed to the board. If there is any partisan point in the main issue it is one which reflects on the past Democratic management and not upon the new management, for the whole burden of the song of the objecting physicians is not a partisan song directed against Republicans. It is a complaint that the board has retained for thirty days the present Democratic superintendent of the institution, pending the inauguration of his successor. aliAiiM tioM hoon 1 lirj UUUA UM>< llltj oMwuiv. . ?.v.. retained a like number of days and not let oft with a week's notice. But their grievance does not etop her?. They charge that this Democratic superintendent, under whom they have been content to hold office without making public curnpIaJnt, has been neglectful of his dutle?, has never been in harmony with his staff, has been indifferent to the welfare of the institution, is a foreigner who has declared he had no interest in the state, and has been offensive in a general all round way. In consideration, therefore, of these matters they demand the Immediate acceptance of their resignations. It seems, from the reading nf their communication, that owing to their extreme dislike of their late chief, who is to remain but thirty day*, they determined to surrender an entire hospital. ? !<)< xn/nplimatM hnfnra fh."?lr successors who have been elected have time to reach chelr posts and familiarize themselves with ??t? cases of which they are to have charge. The public will have Its opinion of men who will permit their dislike of the .chief, under whom they have served up to the present, to lead them to do so small a thin,7. ? The Intelligencer does nut believe In partisanship In the government of our state Institution?, least of all In the management of a humane institution, one which cares for tliono who are afflicted with the saddest of misfortunes, but that Is not th^issue presented In the epiBode here discussed. The whole matter seems to grow out of the lack of harmony that has existed -mong Democratic office-holders, as the result of the importation from another state of a superintendent by the Democratic administration. That is the colored gentleman in the wood-pile, and the public will draw proper conclusions. The L'rbaua Tragedy. The terrible tragedy that occurred parly yesterday morning at Urbana, Ohio. ?h<? milrrvinfltlrtn of the MPUltd Indlfrna Hon of the community over an assault made by a colored man on a white woman, Is one of the moat regrettable occurrences that ever occurred in that ?ftate. All the mure regrettable waa it because It was the direct result of a continued agitation after the law had been d^alt out to the criminal in the case. The day previous the negro Was condemned to twenty years in the state prlnon for his offense, and the Justice thus administered had come close after the commisefon of the crime. Not patlslied with this, the citizens, who were worked up to a frenzy over the outrage that had been committed on a resp"ctable lady, determined to have the blood of the offender. But the law was supreme, and in order that it might b" upheld the Jail was guarded by troops who had n plain duty to perform. Whether, In performing that duty they exceeded the. hounds of discretion, or not, can only be determined after a thorough investigation Into the circumstance:; of the firing into the. mob, which resulted In Instant death to two citizens and the serious, If not fatal, wounding of half a dozen others. The mob know why the soldb were there, and it knew what their orders wi re?to sustain the law and qui II disorder. Surely th?* lc:id"r? of that frenzied crowd of 1,600 citizens did not bellevu that the prisoner tfie law had ill its hands would he surrendered without a struggle, and they must have expected that if they made an assault the I - t extremity would be ii* d. If the troops Arc-1 before that extremity was necessary, thoy were at fault for the tragedy and the Intense feeling which still exists in that unfortunate aitd disgraced community. Hut be thut ' L n? It may the m?)b Itself wan also at fault In h H'Uinff the hot word* of the agitators . ml following them to an a?*auU atiU i o tin nn unlawful thing.

K\ ma 'I'nriir inn. It will b f observed that while Democratic new spapers are urging the senate to make 1 ast.* with the tariff bill, it la disposing -f that measure threo timea aa rapidly a > the Demoeratle senatu deliberated ?ver the Wilson bill, and that the only o >slruetlon to a still greater expedition <s unes from the Democratic aide of Mie chiJmber. Except In very rare instances, no speeches . re being made by Republican senator*? he time consumed being taken by i )emocrat!c and Populist senators. Tht re Is no necessity for any sort 04 acadertilo discussion. Every senator has the printed bill before him and has lonR ago tfiade up his mind how his vote will be rJ.it. Except a* to two or three schedules I upon which there are differences of opinion, even'among the friend* of the Mill the Republican members will j continue It heir policy of expediting the parage jf the measure and will not waste their time and the time of tlfr | i?untry li useless speaking Intended for l campaign) coiwumptiou. This is as It should b> j During 'the pa.?t years of tariff aslta- | tion all thpt can be has been ?aid regard- j ing the theories of free tnuje and protec-1 Hon.

Boston Advertiser: The persistency of the popular error as to what Chief Justice Taney said about u black man having no rights which a white man was bound to respect, is similar to that shown in the common assertion that Massachusetts burned "witches." Th*? history of the witchcraft delusion In the Puritan commonwealth is an ineffaceable stain upon, not this commonwealth especially, but the whole Christian civilisation of that period. Th ? truth Is sufficiently humiliating; and our New Kngluml forefathers,who were in advance of their time In so many ways, were in that matter unable wholly to cast off the alt-pervading superstition. But no alleged witches ever vr&re burned in Massachusetts; though not many years have passed since they were said.

New York Times: Contrary to general expectation, the tlrst chew match between the house of commons and the hou?e of representatives haa resulted in a draw. TIiIb 1b a result extremely creditable to our Hide, seeing that Chens ha* for a long time been thu favorite diversion of the M. P.'a and habitually played within the precincts of Westinltister I'alace itself. The players to choose from must have been several times more numerous on the British than on the American side. It is the best possible result so far us concerns stimulating interest in the game and Insuring a renewal of the match, and perhaps It Is the beat possible result for promoting the international good , feeling which in turn Is the best possible result of International contests in any sport or pastime. This good feeling, instead of being prompted, is distinctly Impaired by any suspicion of sharp practice. It seems that we might have won on a technicality by taking advantage of u lapse by which a British player exceeded by a few seconds his time limit, but when it was nontied to the American player he at once cheered and pained his antagonist by cabling his vernacular locution, "(.Jo ahead." It Im very well that the occasion should have arisen for the display of this Hpirit, and especially well that It should have been turned to good advantage. It would have been a national discredit for us to dunraven tho British out of a chess match. The quality of the chess Is quite a minor consideration. It was not In general at a high order. The deciding Kiuue between Mr. Shafroth and Mr. Parnell was,, however, a very creditable performance on both sides as an exhibition of sustained attack and obstinate riofanMP ami it was won at last by the advantage skillfully hold and pressed of a single pawn. But moat of the games were marred by serious blunders. The most lamentable collapse on our nlde was that of Mr. Pearson, who fell into the hole that his adversary J diKK**d for him in exactly sixteen moves, i On the other hand. Mr. Strauss. M. P., succumbed to Mr. Bodtne on his twenty-fifth move. Very likely the chess will be better next time. Certainly the match will greatly stimulate interest in the came In Washington, and a chessboard may come to supplant a desk even in the committee rooms most frequented by , members from the Mountain states, it is a pity that the senate could not Ije Induced to partake tins Interest. That body ought to stand a fair chance with the house of lords, and its addiction to j the (fame would In any case be a Rood thins for the country. The danger of chess is. of course, that Interest in it , may become excessive. But in the case of the senate this would be a clear gain. If chess became so popular in that body that it would Induce Mr. , Morgan to neglect the public service and the senators from Havemeyer their i private business, now transacted in the committee rooms and on the tloo- of the senate, what a great thing it would be for the country!

Atlanta Constitution: Some Idea of the rapid growth of the telephone service In this country may be obtained from the statement recently made on . ???,Knr nf Ml M?"i iiuhii;i.ij u'*' ?*iv - ephone stations in the United States has "reached Co2,S10. Kstimating the population of the country at 62,622,250; the figures given by the last census, there is one telephone to every on** hundred and ninetytwo inhabitant-;. Considering the short length of time which has elapsed sine* the telephone was invented, the growth nf the service is Indeed marvelous. As compared with other countries the figures are still more striking. The combined population of Kuropo Is 3."4.?i.>7.776. or nearly six times that of the United States, and yet there are only 336.037 telephone stations on the continent, or one to every nine hundred and seventy of the population. France,with a population of 38,343,193, has only '20.fiOfl telephones, or less than the New Kncrland states alone. Boston, with only 4%.920 Inhabitants, has more telephones than London, with 5,600,000. One reason why the telephone is not more extensively used abroad Is explained by the fact that It originated on this side of the water. Still, it Is rapidly becoming a necessity, and Its popularity will soon be as great In Europe as it is in Amcrica. 9IOO IUwnr?t, 9IOO.
