STATE CARE or THE INSANE

The law OF 1890, placing the insane paupcrs
of the State under State care, has now been
in force long enough to enable one to form
fairly correct estimate Of IFS practical eff
cheney. The new policy as our readers are
aware, was adopted after comparatively short
but an unc0mmonly earnest fight The bill
providing fer it first made its appearance in
the Legislature of 1883. hnt failed to pass
either house. The next year the bill got
through the Senate, but died in the Assem-
bly, In 1890 it became a law. Considering
how stubbornly it was opposed from first to
last by the champions of the county care pol
icy-most of whom were impelled to do their
best by considerations not wholly unconnccted
with bread and butter-its success signally at
tested the power of an aroused public scnti
ment.
How does the State policy work? Does
it meet the best expectations? Two Of the
State Commissioners Of Lunacy who have just
been inspecting the Buffalo State Hospital,
while not directly answering these questions,
throw considerable light upon them. Mr..
Brown one of the Commissioners, tells "The
Buffalo Commerciar' that one effect of the
operation of the law has been to do away with
the distinction which existed before its passage
between chronic and acute insane. Under the
old law an insane person after a short confine-
ment in a state hospital could be certified as
chronic insane and transferred to county
poorhousc or to Willard or Binghamton. On
this point Mr.. Brown remarks:
The transfer Of the insane to the county houses
and to Willard and Bnghamton became looked upon
by even the insane themselves as an acknowlede
ment OF their incurablllty, and the humanity Of
giving diseased human beings up thus as lncurabe
appealed 10 all the better sentiments OF peo-
pie and gave rise AT times TO excited and angry pro
tests. All this is donc away with by the statc-Carc
Act and the hospital receives the patient 10 care
for until he RECEIVERS, is discharged to friends dies
There arc dreaded transfers to special Institution,
for incurablcs. Willard and Binghamton have been
greatly improved result and the idea Of cure
and no. merely dominates the treatment.
1t certainly needs no argument to show that
here is Il decided reiorm--a reform in the
interest Of those who have the strongest claims
upon human sympathy the insane poor. One
of the leading arguments brought to bear
against the State-Care bill while it was pend
ing in the Legislature related 10 the expense
which it would involve. Our lawmakers were
given to understand that If the measure be-
came law the demand for additional accom-

modatons for the insane in the state aSyluihs
would be so great that to meet IL would 70
far toward bankrupting the treasury. Com
missioner Brown shows how little there was
in this allegation. In 1891 the Commission
renorted TO the Legislature that the additional
recommendations would cost S454,0OO. This
sum was 70 make provision for SGT beds. The
oppostion shook its head and insisted that the
ann wac much too small to pay for so many
beds. But Mr.. Brown reports that out OF
this appropriation for s21 beds we snali really
secure sufficient provision for s6O" IL Is 10
be gathered from this that the cost OF the new
policy need not disturb the sleep even OF con-
sor,.o,;yo tovnavcrs "The Commercial" re-
norter gained from the Commissioner some
interesting information upon another phase OF
the subject In response to question: Mf'
Brown stated that by October OF this year the
State would be called upon to care Tor $685.
insane persons, and as the ACCOMMODATIONS
already existing and provided for by appro-
priations made. and which will take shape long
before October /, 1898, are equal to the dc-
mands of 1885 patients we shall have an on
cess of accommodations over patients on that
date of 40. and this will compel no hospital
70 take more than the number for which it has
q certified capacity" Mr.. Brown added that
this is the first time in the history OF this state
when it could be said that the provisions for
the caro- of the insane were adequate to the
demand.
All this is gratifying. The new policy was
good in theory-a notable outcome OF level
headed philosophy. But unlike some excellent
theories it lends itself to practice, thus dsarm-
ing its opponents.

COLUMBUS AND HIS CRITICS.

A critical and inquisitivo age has rs own
characteristic way of honoring the genius Of
a man of action. This is the Columbus year,
when the discovery OF the New World is COM
memoratcd as the turning-point of modern
civilization and industrial progress; but so
mcrcilcss are the processes of literary dsscc-
ton and historical analyst that little remains
of the noble dcalist and heroic Admiral whose
faith and courage were rewarded by the first
sighting Of san Salvador. DR.. Justin Winsor,
Dr. Charles X. Adams and a swarm Of lesser
writer's have introduced to readers of their time
a Columbus who bears no resemblance either
to tho hero of the sea. whose portrait was
drawn by Washington Irving, or to the ac-
complshed Italian courticr and pioneer of
colonization, whose character localized by
Sir Arthur Helps In the place of tho inspired
adventurcr whose career was directed by in
tcllectual power and moral purpose is left
covering and abiect figure, contemplate in life
and ptiablc in death. The critical method of
writing history and unravclling traditions has
marked advantages over the romantic style
once in favor, but it deprves the world Of
much of tho inspiration of idcaism.
Ii is necessary, Of course, to adapt literary

sale age. If Columbus was pirate and a
slave trader in his youth n sordid and treach-
erous adventurer in his prime, and cruel and
murderous oppfeksor of the natives whom he
found in the New World, the facts must be
told without mawkish sentiment If his ideas
were borrowed from Toscanelli and from the
author OF the Image Mundi," so that his west
ward cruise was not an original conception the
credit for the initiative impulse must be placed
where it belongs. II he neglected to pay his
debts in Portugal, or if he cheated the honest
sailor who was the first to sight land ont of
the reward promised from the throne and
forced his shipmatcs to make oath TO a lie. the

nrpBJTTTT NOT .JTSTICE.

The Port Jervs mob has been tried by pub
lie opinion at home anf in all this part OF the
country and found guilty OF detcstable crime.
On that point no doubt whatever exists. In
that furious crowd of murdcrcrS were some
men who have led decent lives and possess at
least common intelligence, and who yet acqul-
csced in the brutal work but the testimony Is
conclusive that the malignant purpose was
formed, the passionate impulse encouraged ana
the act of vengeance accomplished by ana
among a crowd of young rufiians, many OF them
thieves and loafers by choice, and not lew
OF them drunk at the time. In one sense they
disgraccd tho town and State in which they
live but it is more nearly the truth TO say that
they disgraced only themselves. When such
an act is performed by the real leaders of the
community and is approved by pubic sentl-
ment. then indeed the community is dsgraced.
This is not such case. Not one word has been
said by any intelligent and respectable citizen
in defence of the lynching or the lynchcrs.
They stand condemned and detested by all
whose good opinion is worth having. While
our brethren in other states are discussing this
occurrence. not without snecrs at the contrast
which they think they sec between profession
and performance at the North, they should take
this fact into consideration, that the whole
force of public sentiment in this region Is
against this crime and these criminals. They
NAV never be brought To punishment, for the
Obstacles 10 a successful prosecution are many
but they will not be protected by decent men
and women.
There nav have been times when in the
absence or the utter collapse OF the machinery
of Justice self-prescrvation depended upon the
swift exercise of unlawful authority-that ~, OF
authority never bestowed by statute. And men
who are ready at all times to libcrate their pas
sions in acts of violence expect TO find jusiiii-
cation by citing such extraordinary prccedenis
In reality they are not prccedcnts at all. The
incidents of the bloody performance at Port
Jervis reveal its real character and quality
The negro was not merely hanged without
trial or warrant he was stoned, beaten.
trampled on, subjected to ncxpresSble torture
by men who had no thought OF justice or pub
lie safety. nor any desire 10 preserve even a
faint show Of dccency in the execution OF then
purpose, but who found rapture in their own
brutality and In the agony OF their victim, ana
thus exposed only the vilcst possibilities OF
human nature, unqualified by so much MS
semblance Of virtue. And this fundamental
dcprayity, sometimes better disguised, chaFac-
tcrizcs the workings of lynch law wherever 1t
is administered That is the truth bitter per-
haps, but wholesome, which it behoovcs every
citizen to know and to remember. Life and
honor and public order are not safer, but more
prccarous in Port Jcrvis because brutal crime
was brutally avenged on Thursday. The in
jury can be repaired only by tho consequences
of renewed devotion to the law.
