tors of Lancaster county propose TO soon
remove their insane TO the state lunatic
hospital at Harrisburg. In the local
asylum, on September 30, 1887, there
were in the insane department 40
patients, viz 40 males, 80 females, OF
which number ~ were foreigners, II
were private patients, 10 we're epileptics,
paralytics, homicidal, suicidal, Z
were absent on parole, 10 were regularly
taking medicine, on sick or extra diet,
s fed with spoon, / with stomach tube, IL
were unclean in person and habits, 9 were
mechanically restrained with muffs; with
belt, 4 for tearing their clothes, for
general destructivenes,. At same date a
were in secluson ; cause not stated.
1t is quite apparent that the belief in
the superiority Of state treatment Of the
insane is growing. In 1885, Of the G5
almshouses in the state, SO contained in
sane patients, In 1886 the number was
reduced TO 81 and in 1887, q only con.
tained insane, and Of these latter three
contained but one insane.
The number of the insane and idiots In
Pennsylvania in 1910 was 2, 1888, of which
number / ,633 were insane, with popula-
tion in the state of nearly LIZA ,O33, CIV
ing the percentage of insane as one
eleventh per cent. One thousand Of
those insane were supposed to be in pris-
ons and poor houses, and the residue were
supported on their own resources or by
private charity. Forty years later (lsso),
the number Of insane in the state, as re.
turned by the census enumerators, was
G,oGl, with a population Of 4 ,2s2, ,S9l, the
percentage having increased to one
seventh per cent. In 1910 there was one
insane person to ,O5G OF population, ard
in 1850 the proportion was one TO 6l5 of
the population. The increase OF insane
| persons was but one nineteenth of one
per cent. in forty years.

Tie fifth annual report of the
state committee on lunacy is at hand,
and begins with an interesting history of
the development of the work of caring
for the insane in Pennsylvania. To the
younger portion of the present genera
tioD, it is somewhat surprising to learn
that the first state hospital for the indi-
gent insane was not opened until October
1851. Since that time Sc ,2GS, ,7ll.7l have
been spent by the state for this charitable
purpose. OF -, l9l admissions into these
hospitals up to the end Of the last fiscal
year, 7,771 have been reported cured, or
sufficiently improved TO be returned to
their families and friends as workers in
the community the condition of 3,47l
Ii reported as stationary S,7l4 died, and
Is were discharged as not insane 222
remain as residents in the hospital.
The committee are of the unanimous
opinion that the insane can be best cared
for at state institutions. County insane
asylums are nearly always in the hands
Of officials, who have no special training
for treating insanity, and who often
Willingly and less often unwitt'ngly

that those places where special study is
given to mental disease and special
preparations made for its treatment are
most ft for the reception of those whose
bodies have either temporarily or for all
time survived their minds. IL it cos s
more money for state treatment, it is
money wisely expended.
There is the less reason for declining
to take this sensible stand since 1888.

GREAT In OHIO.

Great is the state of Ohio and the
Oat:see-Seeker is her prophet.
From the t;fse when the memory OF
man goes not back to the contrary the
Ohio man has been noted fcf reaching
out after everything in sight with a
vigOr and persistence that have be-
come proverbial. The advent of a Demo
cratic administration was hard blow
to her hopes and severe check to her
rapacity and vOracity, but the appetite
remains whetted by long disuse.
The Ohio man is to the fore once
more, for he scents possible banquet OF
official good things through the success
of the Republican party. An exceed
ingly remote contingency, it is true, but
quite enough to rouse the Ohio man
into wonderful activity. And he begins
right at the beginning. He is de-
termined that false sense of modesty
shall not lose him anything. Conse-
quently he is making rush for the
head of the table.
There are just seven of him out of a
possible fourteen, scrambling for the
vain honor of heading the Republican
presidential ticket. 1t is an Office carry
ing with it pregnant possibilities, and
that is enough to fire the Ohio heart.
SHERMAN, ALGER, RUsK, FORAKER,
MCKINLEY, ALLISON and HARRISON
are ali present or original Ohio men.
Each one has been or is an office-holder.
Each one wants to hold Office again.

THE FLAG EMBLEM.

In an attempt to offset the signif-
canoe of the red bandana as a politi-
cal emblem, many of the Republicans
gathered in Chicago have adopted a
small American flag as an emblem.
This is quite in keeping with the AFRO
CANT assumption of the Republican
leaders.
They would wish to intimate that they
alone have right to the national en-
blem, that over them alone, as a chosen
people, must it wave, and that apper-
tanning exclusively to them it may fifty
be chosen as the insignia of their lead
ers. The rest of the country will hardly
agree with this insolent assumption.
The flag waves over united country,
and is as much the property of the hum
blest citizen as of the weaIthiest tariff
protected mOnopoliSt in the Republican
convention who ostentatiously flauntS
it. The flag belongs to the whole peo-
pie and not to one political party. It is
the emblem of the whole peoples liber-
ties and not a campaign banner. The
people will rightfully resent such APP
preparation.
Our Republican friends will have to
try again before they can devise rival
emblem for the red bandana, and the
chances are that they will be compelled
at last to fall back upon the bloody
shirt, whose waving has been their
ruin
