to his condition. Suoh praetice is exceed
inEly objectionable for two reasons. In the
fret place IL is little less than harbarous
20 permit the insane man to iistsn to the
statements mado In regard to him By the
dootors Insanity does not necessarily
imply inability to understand or appre-
ciate the full force OF thsse statements II
frequently happens that the suspects
mind IL clear on most subjects ana en-.
tertains delusions In regard to very few.
10 compel or to permit a man In this
condition to listen to statements that his
disease lie incurnble. that It will progress
until he becomes imbecile or a raving
maniac beyond the hope Of cure, is as
cruel an act as can easily be conceived
Of. In the second place the appearances Of
the subject before the Board 10 almost
certain to mislead in great many cases.
A man dangerously insane may talk SO
nationally and logically as to make 1t
seem impossible that anything IL the
matter with his mind. The case Of
Linwood, who was committed to the
asylum Wednesday night rs a danger
ously insane person, furnishes good IL
lustration Of this. A year or more ago he
was brought before the Board on COM
plant that he was a dangerous person to
BIS at large The testimony of physicians
showed that he was subject to decisions
and that he was liable when under the in
fluence OF one of them to commit q muir
derous act. But he made a speech to the
Board and 1t was SO rational and logical,
so frse from signs of a diseased mind that
the Board waslmislsd and discharged him.
Since then he has threatened the lives of
number of people. and actually attacked
several. Luckily for the community his
speech before the Board on Wednesday
night tended TO corroborate the physician.
The existence of insanity even in danger
GUS form can sometimes be determined
only by observation for considerable
length of time by experts; and an attempt
on the part OF Board of Aldermen to de-
termine the fact by asking.the suspected
person few questions or listening to a
few remarks from him IL good deal
worse than useless. Reliance in all these
cases should be placed upon the testimony
OF experts and Of persons who have had
opportunity to watch them through a
considerable period of time; and no at
tempt at personal investigation should be
made by the Board itself. The Board
cannot take too much care to see that the
experts are competent and honest and
that their investigation has been thor
ouRh; but all the safeguards should be
in this direction rather than In the direc-
ton of a public hearing in which the per.
son under suspicion is allowed to take
part,

Rev james s. Williamson who has
recently gone from the Congregational
church at Augusta, to q Congregational
church atsHaverhill, Mass, spoke at the
Essex North conference at Anesbury, on
Wednesday, ON 1.-THE Churoh and Re
FORMS" The address created quite lit.
tie sensation among the audience. Mr..
Williamson said, among other things,
that certain temperance reformers OF
Maine had done more to retard the
cause of temperance In that state than
any other agency. The towns had foisted
upon the cities a thing they did not want
and would in time get rid of. Regarding
the social evil and Sunday Dissertation
he was outspoken, stating that 1t was the
duty of the pastor to go where the people
were and preach to them instead OF
standing in the pulpit and preaching
against Sabbath breaking to those who
observe the day.
