A WARNING TO THE INNOCENTS

Most of the metropolitan dailies. ana
some other authorities, agree in the opin-
ion that stocks in Wall Street are un-
duly inflated; that the ''bOom prices"
there have reached a point when a sud
den break is only question of time,
and that when it comes the lambs
throughout the country will be very
closely heeced. The innocents in these
parts, if there are any, might do well
to profit by these timely and unsellish
warnings.

There are very many who believe that
recommendations of insane asylum ply
sieians and directors ought to be taken
n preference to suggestions by those
having little or no practical experience
With the treatment or management of

matters. but about such matters as we
ire discussing, we submit that the
views of those claiming no expert knowl
edge may have some measure of wisdom
IN them. Indeed we 90 further and say
tha about general questions of priority
Of admission and the like, an outsiders
opinion may be more correct than the
views of the experts who look at the
questions from an inside point. How
ever that may be- we venture to suS-
gest, in a matter that touches so nearly
the homes OF so many, that changes tina
do not effect the treatment or interna

it is clear that there is real necessity

OUR POSITION DEFINED-THE
WHITE VOTE SHOULD RULE.

Some of the News and Observers anti
| dispensary friends in Fayetteville have
! complained because this paper has OPP
posed every proposition before the Leg
isaturc to submit any measure to n
vote of the people, when such submits
sion was to the negro as well as white
voters. Some of the News and OBJ
servers pTo-dispensary friends in other
places have complained because this pa
per has opposed every proposition that
looked TO IL new departure unless it was
clearly desired by majority of the
white voters.
This papers position was thus stated
in the issue Of January 9th:
''The last campaign, when it settled
that there should be no negro domina-
ton" meant that 50 far as government
in North Carolina was concerned the
negro had been practically eliminated as
4 factor. and that the ignorant mass of
them would later ON be legally and con-
stitutionally eliminated. In view of
this fact, no proposition upon which the
white people are divided should be sub
mittod to the people as long as the negro
is entitled to vote The result of such
submission would be to restore the negro
TO the pivotal position in many coun-
ties where. by voting solid, he could die
tate policies.
''Thc Democratic position on local OPP
ten, the dispensary, the licensed saloon,
and like questions is that whatever sys-
TEN the majority of the white voters
desire should be adopted. Therefore. IL
the people Of any town or county want
Il dispensary established they should he
able to show affirmatively that it is de-
sired by majority of the white voters
OF the county. Unless they can do this
the Legislature would make mistake
to establish it. The same principle APP
plies to all like measures.
mo negro domination, no rule by a
white minority, no putting on the people
of laws not desired by the majority. no
submission of questions where the negro
vote might control-these embody the
Democratic doctrines of home rule by
white men,"
While this position has met with some
criticism, the endorsement has been most
gratifying. We could fill 4 column with
extracts from letters written by promi
nent Democrats urging lis to insist that
the legislators approve this policy by
their actions.
The danger to the Democratic party
does not lie in general legislation. That
viii be given much deliberation, and
when enacted will embody the
highest wisdom of the party. The danger
is in local legislation such as the stock
law, local option, dispensary, and other
such matters upon which there is wide
difference of opinion in the party's ranks.
If we could postpone such legislation
until after the Constitutional amend
ment is adopted, it would be wise in
most instances. Where it is not possible
to postpone, the Legislature ought to do.
nothing upon which there is division
except upon the ascertained petition of a
majority of the white voters.

MOST IMPORTANT BILL
CHANGES SUGGESTED.

The Asylum Bill comes up in the Sen
ate to-day. 1t is one Of the most i'm
nortant measures that will come befor
the General Assembly, and ought TO ht
carefully examined. There are fon
matters which ought to be given seriou
considerations:
/. II is 10 he hoped that the chang,
recommended in section 2,2TS of tn
Code will not prevail, but that the see
ion win remain as il has stood for TWEEN
y wears. Under the present law in
ligent insane have not only priority, ba
,thcrs cannot be admitted unless thcr
$ sufficient room" after the indigen
have been taken in. The present law
best and safest,
.. The provisions permitting the treat
ment of incbriates ought to be stricken
out. Until all the insane in the jails
aoor-houses and in the homes are given
treatment in the Hospitals, no drunk
,rd ought to be given room even if he
loes pay
3. The provisions relating to the so
allied criminal insane (are there any
riminal insaneD have been changed
rom the original bill, but there are seri
aus objections TO such department
DR. Murphy pointed out in Sunday
)apcr that the hospital physicians have
aever approved putting the so-callel
criminal insane in any part of the peni-
tertiary" and have favored it only be-
ause it afforded room III the
hospitals for the insane now languishing
n iails and in private homes. 1t is to be
hoped that the Legislature can avoid
he natural repugnance to putting any
lerson afflicted with a disease of the
mind into any other apartments than
such as had been given until the eX
pertinent of separating them two years
lgo was made. 1t has not worked well
And as a matter of fact we do not be
eve it proper to speak of any person as
belonging to the class of criminal in
ane." Ii a man is insane, he cannot
]e a criminal. He is relieved of punish
nent BIZ law because his insanity makes
i'm incapable of being guilty of crime
No superintendent ought ever to be per
nitted to send one to a criminal depart
nent. if we have such, because of so
allied ''homicidal mania" A less con
cientious superintendent than those w
row have in North Carolina might be
empted to get rid Of troublesome pa
tents by such means.
4. There is provision in the new law
which "any person believing himself
be of unsound mind, or threatened
Nth insanity, may voluntarily commit
limself'' by 1.-THE certificate of physi
IAN There is danger in this new dc
,arture, and if adopted there ought to
le added a provision like this: PRO
ided, no person voluntarily committing
himself can be received if there are ap
Iications for the reception Of those VINO
lave been adjudged insane in the man
aer heretofore prescribed by law" With
his provision, the proposed new method
ould not give priority to those doubtful
asses over persons languishing in homes
II in jails.
