SHOCKING INCIDENTS RECORDED
The First Annual R.pors Of New York's
Insane.


Inssne.
ALBANY, n. Y, January 20.-The first
snnusl report of the State Commission in
Lunscy was made public to-day.
A considerable amount Of space is de-
voied to a comparison Of state csre and
county care OF the insane, and the report
takes a strong fround in favor of the
former.
A large number OF shocking incidents
observed in the county institutions are re-
lated. One aged woman, stticted with
turbulent demeutia, wss confined in cell.
like room. Her bsd was ipdescribably
filthy. Her only attendants were two pau.
per girls who brought her food in basin,
which they set on her filthy bed. She hsd
no companions except five filthy male pa
tents in the came building. The beds OF
the latter patients were also in a horrible
condition.
Ia another part of the building young
woman was found sitired in nothing bat q
blue cotton skirt and a mans coat. Her
room was cold and cherries and iIs floor
was Hcs tnu iOut III hIObutl pAdCt tbe
attendant excused the practice Of bathing
several patients in the same water by say
ing that "the patients with skin diseasas
were bathed last" Ia another two filthy
patients were put in the same bed.
Toe Commission c)rcludes that how
ever feasible may be the cory of county
care, it has fallen far short in practice OF
the hopes entertained for it. Its difficul-
ties and defects seem TO be ineradicable,
and the system should be abolished by the
Legislature A system which has been a
failure for 20 years csn hardly be expected
ever TO become a success. State cafe, on
the other hand, while not perfect, repre-
sents all that is best in the present state OF
knowledge.
The abseuca Of uniform and reliable
statistics covering many years makes II
impossible to determine whether the pro
portion Of insane to the population ia in
creasiug, but while it is certain that there
ls steady numerical increase, the frequent
admission, discharge and readmisslon Of
patients 10 asylums result 10 making sta
tistics unreliable.

is becoming evident that before the school
book fight is settled for the session some
body will ge. hurt. Governor Wilson and
his friends are pressing the attack on the
present school hook system, but in the
course Of this assault have succeeded in
stirring up formidable opposition in the
short legislative session Of the House.
To-day was given mp almost entirely to
this question. Chairman Shaw, of the
Committee on Education, introduced the
bill which he has besn preparing. AltIz'
er's bill, repsaling the present law, was
taken up out of it's order in spite Of strong
efforts to adjourn, snd read
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
1t is the plan OF Gov. Wilson.and his friends
to have Shaw's bills submitted for this
one. O1 the second reading the atsail-
ants of the existing law scOred another
point by ordering 1000 copies of Gov
Wilson's message on the subject 10 be
printed for general distribution. None OF
these moves were successful without hard
fights.
With these successes the asseiiing forces
rested. They were, however, treated TO
little surprise after the House adjourned
Gov. Wilson appeared on the floor and be
gun TO explain how much

law and adoption of the Indiana system.
A knot of legislators gathered, and Cor
don, Of Ohio, and Merrill, of Writ, took
up the cudgels against the Governor
Gordon pointed out that the Indiana law
required cash payments for books; as 1t
was now tine poorest farmer could send
bis children to the store with butter and
eggs, and school books could be secured In
return.
If payments had to be made in hard
cash, many child would 20 without
books. He also asked the Governor what
wculd be done with the quarter of a mil
lion dollars worth OF books now on haod,
and His EXcellency
DID NOT REPLY
very satisfactorily. Merrill took up the
debate a. this point, aud showed that the
retail dellers in the State made pref o.
20 per cent on school books, and a. the
most there was not more than five psr cent
difference in the wholesale prics of cur
books eud the Indiana SERIES The hand
iiuy Of school books vas a legitimate busi-
ness, aud the State, he claimed, had no
right to 20 toto il. The discussion closed
before the Governor was able 10 reply.
The bill which Shaw introduced,
creates n commission which shall adver-
tise and contract for books. The con-
tractor will sell them directly to the
State, which will deliver them to the
county superin lendents and secretaries OF
the boards of education 10 the pupils.
These secretaries will be paid 10 per cent,
of the value of the books they sell for
their services. Under the most liberal
estimates the scheme would not reduce
the price q books more than ID psr cent.
Il is very doubtful il il wOuld do that.
