preachers who buy goods and do not
pay for them, but every preacher in
this country who pays his debts ought
to open his guns on the ahams, shod-
dies, tricks and robberies Of this coun-
try. Every lawmaker and officer who
has a character and conscience
should rally kis forces to the side of
right. If this country drifts on it
will ease to be country Of peaceful,
unmolested homes. The assailant Of
women, the burglar, highway robber is
becoming SO common that no man
leaves his home unprotected and feels
easy.
am not pessimist nor croker,
but the time has come for us to sound
warning lest our friends and neigh
bors and loved ones go-down with the
spirit of the age to do anything to get
the dollar. Let business firms start
policies Of honesty, and let the people
stand by them. Let parents impress
upon their boys that honesty and
character is better than money. Let
the people call honest men for Office
and sec that they are elected by hon
est measures. Let preachers set ex-
amples of honesty and then preach it
and purge the Church as their Saviour
cleansed the temple, if it takes the
whips of the law. Let the liar, chea-
ter and deceiver be set down with
thieves, and let the gambler in horse
races, futures and bucketshops be put
down with the crap-shooting negro,
and let us honor man for what he is
and not for what he has, and then we
may shout over the erevival of honesty,
and that will beat revival in trade or
boom in business.

Is the world going mad? This
question is rendered entirely leeiti- |
mate by the discovery that every wear
the percentage of cases of madness
among human beings is steadily in
creasing. The march of progress is
apparently affecting our brains. aud
some day, if the present ratio contin.
ues, NC may ali be insane or so manv
OF us that we shall shut the sane peo-
pie up in the asylums and do lust
what our disordcred brains may impel
The suggestion Of all this has been
made before, but never, as ncw. back
cd by actual medical figures.
Look at these figures. The total
present. number Of lunatics in England
and Wales is 99,365, as compared with
96,446 on the corresponding day Of
1876. 1t requires no mathematician
TO discover the fact that this shows
an increase of 2,919 persons who have
joined the lunacy contingent. Some
or our great doctors argue that the
increase III rccovcries is due to the
fact that more of the insane are placed
under the control of the medical pro
fession than was formerly the ease.
Dut that is only Il matter of theory.
Tor no one ever will know the correct
number OF lunatics that arc treated in
their own homes or the hop:cs Of their
friends.
1t Is interesting to note the great
part that love plays in the creation of
insanity. To thoroughly appreciate
1t, it must be understood that half of
the cases which appear on the insanity
records as due to various causes arc
really the result of love. This is what
medical men say, experts, as to the
CAUSES which drive people mad. Mar
riage, which is the natural result of
love. unquestionably helps the growth
OF the insanity record. It is a fact
that tho number of insane married
men prcportionately exceeds that Of
insane single men by at least one
third. During the FIVE years from 1891
to 1895, inclusive, 962 married men
with suicidal propensities we're treated
while during the same time there
underwent treatment 738 bachelors
and I'll widowers. Turning to the
other sex, the records show us during
the same period the married women
treated numbered 1922, the spinstcrs
939, and the widows 353.
These figures are necessarily con-
vincing, and they are hard to explain.
One of the very best-known physi-
clans, in discussing the matter the
other day, said: SIT simply upsets
the theory that marriage renders peo-
pie longlived and less prone to mental
disturbances. ! find no solution of
tho problem, except that afforded by
the divorce courts. The number Of
divorces has increased in even greater
proportion than the number of cases
OF insanity. [ sincerely believe that
the marriage covenant is so lightly
considered nowadays that people
hastily assume all the obligations it
implies and when it is too late realize
what they have really done.
