THE MARcH or INSANITY

THE MAhCH or /N.SANZZ'I.
Times Democrat.
The statistics of the increase of
insanity in the United States have
been given many times, and there
has been a disposition to attribute
it to the high rate at which We live;
but European statistics tell the
same story, and insanity seems to
be getting better footing not only
here but in all civilized lands.
The English statistics are not
quite as complete as ours, but they
shed some light on the subject.
They show that in 1859 the proper
ton of insane to the population was
1867 per 10, 900 Cor one in every
$3.50, while in 1896 it was 3r.3s
per o,ooo & in every 3ro). The
increase has been even greater In
some sections. London chronicles
an increase of z8 per cent in the
four years 18o2-o6; Nottingham of
50 per cent in ten years, and that,
too, in spite of a decrease in popu-
lation during that period-1s86-o5.
Life may be quieter in England
than in the United States, but it is
sufficiently exciting there to help
swell the number of the insane.
Nor is this increase confined to the
urban districts, for the rural Sec
tions of Dorsetshire show an in
crease in the number of insane OF
IS per cen: between 1873 and 1893
The world is growing madder every
year. The excitement aud pressure
Of civilization are too much for the

PkZLZZNG BY ZNyC.NCzxCzN.s
The Sugar Belt vindicator con-
cludes an able editorial on the kill
ing of the coal miners in Pennsyl-
vsnia In the following ringing
words:
The unfortunate wfetches tiled
with lead in the blck, were foreighn-
ers, it Is true, and perhaps the
most of them an undesirable class,
but they were, nevertheless, human
beings, whose life and liberty are
vouchsafed by the law Of the coun-
try. Besides the question of their
nationality, it is safe to say. had
no influence on the sheriff and his
mob, who no doubt, went prepared
to put an end to the strike by the
free use of winchesters, had the
same crowd of men been native
born American citizens, the only
thing that might have deferred the
villains from an application of the
same remedy would have been the
fear of having their own carcasses
filed with lead in return.
Take the butchery from any
point of view, temper il as we
might, with every circumstance
which might lend excuse or even
palliation-and it stands out as the
most attrocious crime ever perpe-
trated, and worst of all committed
in the name ofalaw.
Can q people with human in
stincts, much less . people brought
up from the cradle of human rights
aud liberty, read the accounts of the
cowardly butchery of a lot of half
clad, starving, unarmed and de-
fenseless beings, without standing
appalled, At the hidecusness of the
deed Such butchery leaves no
room for discussion; for whether it
was the results of callous inhuman-
ity, or that cowardice which the
sultan offers as an apology for the
massacre of the Armenians; it is
equally disgraceful to a country
whose administration of law is cal
culated to be firm, humane and
just.
In no European country-rur-
key or Russia, possibly excepted
would troops fire into a crowd of
men running for their lives. who
had committed no greater crime
than marching on the public roads.
In any country of Western Europe
such a massacre would stir such a
wave of indignation as to make it
unsafe for those whose hands were
blood-stained to roam at large.
Let us hope this, the first sample
of injunction by winchesters, will
be the means of furnishing the
death blow to s'Government by in
junction"

THE ROUlND-HOUSE .SPOOK.
Every time the authorities of this
town or parish adopt any ordinance
which incurs the displeasure of the
Southern Pacific Company, some
wiseacre coolly informs the COM
munisy that the railroad people will
take the round house away from
here as retaliatory measure. The
recent quarantine regulations of
this town and parish have necessa-
rily caused no little trouble to the
railroad company, aud people who
know all, or think they do,
are circulating the worm-eaten
chestnut about the round-house.-
The Gazette appreciates the fact
that the railroad company has been
of incalculable good to this town.
That is undeniably true. The Ca
zette is, however, pleased to state
that the people of this town are dis
posed to also recognize this fact
and to accord to the company all
that it is entitled to. But those
who believe that this community can
be bluffed by such ridiculous
threat have evidently formed very
low estimate of the character of our
people.
The people, through their repre-
sentatives, have taken the necessary
precautions to protect themselves
against yellow fever. 1t was not
only their right, but it was their
duty to do SO. The question was
not to show their gratitude to the
railroad corporation. The ques-
tion was to do what they deemed
necessary to avoid the epidemic of
a dread disease, and because they
acted as intelligent aud sensible
communities the world over would
have acted, they are told that the
railroad company will take away
its round-house and in this way
deal a death bio y to the town.
All this talk is the veriest non
sense. The Southern Pacific Com
pany is neither philanthropic nor
sentimental concern. So long as
It subserves it's interests, the round
house will remain here. When it
will better suit its business to haye
it somewhere else the removal will
take place, regardless of our wishes
in the matter.
In the meantime let us continue to
deal fairly by the company and let
or esteemed friends allow the
round-house spook to enjoy a
much-needed rest.
