THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicle
#.. .. for 1890. afplI UE

a for 1880. YaI ul
During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, at the same
time, keep Its readers fully posted
on all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the inter ests of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
1t will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success. ' -
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any Office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. 1t
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infau
nous schemes.
The WIG AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. 1t will con-
tain choice selection of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editor ais, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
Guided. 1t will be the object of the
publishers to make it welcome
visitor into the families of the
country.
Its market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible.
The Agricultural columns Of the
WING AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm
proved all the time. In this depart
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics of interest will be invited.
The proprietors of these two old
and well established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more than
the subscription price charged.

Treatment Of the Insane.

DIR. H. b. WILBUR. the President Of
the National Association for the Protec-
ton of the Insane and the Prevention
of Insanity, puts the number of lunatics
in the country at so, O00, and says the
estimate is low. Neglect and abuse, he
adds, are not too strong terms by which
to characterize the mann err in which the
majority are treated. DIR. Beard, after
a late inspection Of the best asylums of
Europe, came to the conclusion that
Great Britain was ahead of all the world
in the management OF the insane, with
Germany close behind. In Scotland he
found them better treated than any
where else. The general principle of
doing away with restraint is growing
in favor everywhere. He found the
English asylums like gentlemen's resi-
dences, and could hardly believe that
they were the homes of lunatics. DIR.
Seguin says that only one asylum in the
United States-the Kings County IN.
" asylum-has successfully tried the
system Of non-reStraint. Ii is working
with the best results, though 200 pa
tients are under treatment. Yet DIR.
Wilbur reports that when he visited
and inspected. five years ago, asylums
in England and Ireland containing 25,-
600 patients, only in a single instance
did he see any form Of restraint IN use.
though he always asked to be shown
the refractory patients. and in this case
the man was a homicidal epileptic. Are
we behind the age in our treatment of
insanity?-NeD York SUM
