Treatment OF the Insane.

Ministering to minds diseased is one
of the most difficult and, as at present
managed, the most hopeless tasks. Ex-
listing conditions are due largely to
circumstances over which the friends
OF the unfortunate and the general
public have no control But, all the
same, these conditions work directly
against the patients recovery and
serve to increase the tendency to
vagaries in minds only slightly unset
tied 1t is said by medical and mental
scientists that there is no such thing
as a perfectly balanced intellect.
Every human being has some lido
syncrasy, some flaw in the construc.
ton, some weak spot that under undue
pressure will give way and reduce the
victim TO state of insanity or hope.
less crankiness. The first and indis-
hictcd with mental unsoundness is a
situation entirely apart from others
similarly affected. Quartering in
sane patients in wards and permit
ting free intercourse among those
given to all sorts of eccentricities arc.
in the opinion of the New York Ledg-
er, unquestionably the worst folly of
which the caretakers of these people
can be guilty. BY constant asso-
citation and daily interchange of
thought and opinion these unbal-
anced minds have every oppor-
tunity to absorb more that is
detrimental and to learn thousands of
whims and caprices that, alone and
untaught, they would never have
dreamed of. An unsettled brain is
fertile ground for the growth Of the
rank weeds of evil thought and desire,
and these creatures, in almost all
cases persons of exceedingly active
and nervous temperaments, are simply
undergoing process of education that
Is likely to destroy whatever healthy
and natural brain-tissue their mis-
fortunes may have left them. Thrown
constantly in the way of the lowest
and most abandoned forms of mind
disease, it is perfectly natural that
they should become familiar with it,
and, as they are idle and easily at
tracted by things new and strange,
they are almost certain to grow worse
instead of better. Much the better
plan, in place of this herding together
OF the insane, as is generally practiced,
would be some arrangement by which
each individual case could have special
treatment carefully adapted to the
needs of that particular case. Let the
highly nervous or excitable person be
In charge of some thoughtful, far-see-
ing nurse or physician, one who would
be content to let nature do some
thing, and would, instead of forcing,
nagging and worrying the patient,
seek to remove all irritating causes
and conditions and give the over
strained nerves the opportunity to re-
gain their normal strength.

WARM SOUTH CAROLINA.
A FIGHT BETWEEN THE CITIZENS
AND CONSTABULARY.

For some time past the towns
of Darlington and Florence, S.
c., have been IN a state of great
excitement over the Dispensary
Law.
1t seems there had been re-
ports that Tillman's constables,
or spies, would search private
houses for liquor, and Gov. Till
man was asked about it, and he
was reported as having SAID yes,
that private houses would be
searched, and trunks and boxes,
&c, would be searched. The
constables then went to Darling
ton, raided seven or eight bust
ness places and stated that they
would next raid private houses.
AS if by magic, the citizens of
the town appeared with shot
guns and other weapons. and
formed themselves into party,
declaring that they would not
submit to such an outrage.
The spies telegraphed to Gov.
Tilnan. He wired sheriff Scar
borough that he must protect the
officers of the State.
The sheriff wired back that
things were too serious tor him
to do anything himself.
Tillman then wired to Capt.
Thompson, of the Darlington
Guards, to place his company at
the service of the sheriff. The
captain assured the Governor
that this would be done A tele-
gram to the Governor shortly
afterwards stated that while Capt
Thompson and the sheriff were
consulting at the court house the
mob had gone to the company's
armory and had taken off all the
arms and ammunition.
Gov. Tillman wired to CHEZ
Constable Gailliard, at Charles
ton, to collect his entire force Of
spies for the lower section of the
State and go to Darlington as
soon as possible.
Last Friday the constables
were at the depot and a fight oc
Cured, when Constable McClen
don shot a man by the name O.
Redmond. McClendon then also
shot Norment, and then tie Cit
zens drew their pistols and a gen
era1 fusilade on both sides began
| Seventy-fiVe or hundred shot:
were fired. One citizen wa!
struck five times; another wa:
struck twice; the Chief Of Police
was struck; one of the constable:
was killed; another MORALLY
wounded one had his nose sho
off; one was shot in the back anc
another in the leg.
The constables then fed to the
woods, and bodies of citizens
went to hunt for them, but they
were not found.
A dispatch says: The mob was
composed of the most prominent
and the very best people of the
city, who are determined to re
sist any effort attempted outrage
upon their private houses with
their lives. They are de;ermin
ed people, and any attempt t.
make such raids will result il

COXEY'S ARMY.

Coxey's celebrated Army OF
the Commouweal have reached
Pittsburg, Penn, and are now
800 strong. 1t is said that Coxey
and large number of his follow
ers have decided to take a trip
through the Southern States as
soon as his mission in Washing
ton is fulfilled. This decision was
arrived at day or $50 ago, and
the trip will be made with a view
of converting as many Southern
people as possible to the ideas
advanced by Coxey. AS at
present figured out by Coxey, it
will require the best part OF two
months for his army to go to
Washington. He will make a
trip through Virginia, North and
South Carolina, being joined in
the latter State by Frye and his
Texas band. The scheme is to
win the Southern farmers over
to the Coxey -BroWneSmith ideas.
When this is completed the task
of the reformers will be fulfilled
and the army will disband.

You always have to go away from home
II you want to know what is going on in
your own immediate vicinity. Lincoln
paper makes the following startling an
nouncement:
"A change is imminent in the editorial
management Of the World-Herald. The new
editor will be none other than Representa-
tive w. j. Bryan. 1t is understood that G..
NJ. Hitchcock will remain in charge of the
business department The rumor is that
the deal was to be effected today some of
the stock passing into the hands OF promi-
nent free silver democrats OF this state"
This community will not be startled by
the announcement that change is immi-
nent in the editorial compartment of the
VIII. That change has been imminent
for several years. The advent of Mr. Bryan
will doubtless be hailed with a great deal
of satisfaction by many of the patrons Of
the whirligig. 1t might not be reished,
however by the Mortonian wing of the
Nebraska mobocrscy. AS edito7-n-chief of
the pure silver organ Mr.. Bryan would find
a much broader field for ks pent up gray
brain matter than on the floor of the house.
Most of the great men that become editors
in-chief are pumped dry in less than thirty
days and then suffer a terrible relapse
from nerve-center exhaustion. Mr.. Bryan
may be an exception. He may be able to
keep up public interest in his ideas to the
end of the impending campaign. From a
purely professional standpoint we should hail
his ascent to the editorial tripod as the
qualification of a long-felt want. Any
thing for a change that will elevate the
standard of the metropolitan press and give
spice and tone to its utterances. There is
no fun or profit in running in competition
with papers afflicted with the dry rot. If
the report concerning the imminent change
is true The Bee will accord the new editor
in-chief cordial and hearty welcome into
the arena of Omaha Journalism.
