The .Qrads
INSANITY
q Democratic New spaper.

There has been a remarkable
Increase Of insanity in the United
States during the present gen.
Grafton. Formerly it was estl-
mated that there was one insane
person 10 every 300 in this
country. A few years ago the in
c~rease.of this am iction caused a
change of this estimate to n in
1000. This proportion is now too
low, The recent annual report of
the New York state board of
lunacy shows that there were at
the time the report was made up
no less than 22,386 persons cons
fined in the New York state hos
pitfalls for the insane. In addition
to this large number there are
probably several thousand other
insane persons in New York who
are being treated in private sans
itariums or kept at home. The
average of those thus confined
in New York is 30.1 per cent,
which would make the total num-
Der of the insane in, New York
1880. The aYeregeof insanity
ia New York is said to be much
larger than that in the country
generally. The New York pro-
portion would make the number
of insane pensions in the United
States about $4,000. According
to the latest obtainable reports
the total is only about 10000.
But there were according to the
census, only 1885, los insane per-
sors in the whole country in 1890.
An increase of nearly "A, 900 in
less than ten years is truly re-
markabIe.
Insanity IS moro common in the
United States than in other coun-
tries, as the following figures
gathered from official reports Civ
ing the number of i0sane to each
million of population will show:

We live faster in the United
States than do the people Of the
other nations and we pay the
penalty. The rush, worry and ex-
citement Of city life into which a
larger per cent OF III population
is being drawn every year is one
of the main causes Of this deplor-
able phenomenon Of American
ife.
By the same reasoning We may
explain the much larger percent
age Of insanity in our most popu-
lous and busiest state.
Progressive civiliz stion, larger
personal responsibility and
greater personal opportunities
increase the eagerness Of the
struggle of life and under it more
and more men and women suffer

TAUGHT THEM HATRED
carpet-Baggers Arrayed Ne
groes Against Whites.
GAMBLER ON THE RACE PROBLEM
Another Element Are the Fanatics and
Cranks, Who Urge the Blacks to Arm
Themselves Against the Whites-Rotten
Politics Also Blamed.

ATLANTA, July Ex-Governor Cand-
Ter has, since the Bainbridge series of
lynchings occurred, been asked bv news
papers in various parts of the country
to give his opinion of the race question
in the south. To one he said that be-
fore the ballot was thrust into the hands
of the negro, unprepared for it and ut
terly ignorant of its sanctity, of the re-
spcnsibiiities of citizenship, notwlth-
standing he was a slave, he was happy
and well contented.
But after his emancipation came his
enfranchisement and with his enfran.
chisement came a hoard of carpet
baggers, who took charge of him when
his .ormer master and protector, with
whom he had lived for generations on
the most friendly and otter even on at
fectionate terms, was de-citizenized by
the partisan reconstruction laws.
They falsely taught the negroes that
the southern white men were solely re-
sponsible for their enslavement and
were their worst and only enemies, and
that therefore it was their duty and
their interest to vote against them and
their party and oppose everything they
were in favor of, favor everything they
We're opposed to--in a word to hate
them.
The civil teachings had but little
permanent effect upon the grownup
negroes, but upon the children, the gen.
since that time, that effect has been
most baneful.
A more immediate cause is the per-
-, 4 l,a alafi c
of the races in the south by fanatics and
fools.
Thep publish in the newspaper grossly
exaggerated accounts of crimes commit.
ted against the negro in the south and
omit any notice OF the crimes against
the white women which provoked the
retaliation. They write incendiary let
tiers to turbulent negroes all over the
south, advising them to arm themselves
with Winchester rifles and for every
gnilty rapist who pays the penalty to
shoot down the first two white men he
meets.
Thousands of such letters have been
written to Georgia in the last three
months.
Governor Gambler says the inter-
meddlers of the north do not present a
respectable minority, and that the law
less and criminal negroes of the south
constitute less.
Rape is as much deplored by the bet
ter class of negroes as by the better
class of white men. But, as because
some negroes commit rape the whole
race suffers, SO, because some white men
lynch ravishers, all the whites of the
south are abused.
Another and continual present cause
which contributes to race friction is cor
rupt politics.
Governor Gambler said he believed a
restricted suffrage will remedy the
evils, that the ballot be given only the
intelligent negro. AS to the disposition
to be made of the large percentage of
illiterate negroes, the governor makes
no suggestion.

o.. aions on Porto Rico Franchises.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-rhe attorney
general rendered opinions in three
cases involving Questions of franchises
and concessions in Porto Rico. In the
case of Vicente and Jesse Usera, the
attorney general holds that they do not
hold complete and lawful concession
to build tramway from Ponce to Port
Ponce and that the secretary of war
has no right to confirm such conces-
sion. The attorney general also holds
adversely on the application of Ramon
Valdez Y Cobian for a concession of
the right to use the water power of the
river Platain in Porto Rico. In the
case of Frederick w. Weeks for ap-
plication to construct wharf or pier at
Ponce, the attorney holds that to grant
the application is beyond the power of
the secretary of war.

NEVER CALLED.
Left a High Grade Bicycle at Ma
chine Shop.

One day last summer stranger
came to the machine shop of j. K.
Williams with a high grade bicycle
which he said needed repairs
He left before his name could be
learned and no tag was placed on the
wheel. When an inspection was
made of the bicycle it was found that
there was nothing wrong with it.
The bicycle was almost new, hav-
ing been ridden very little. Mr.. Will
liams held the bicycle until this
week, no one ever calling for it. He
has now disposed of the machine.
The fact that it was never called for
lead him to believe that it had been
stolen, although he could find no
claimant for it.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The semi
official statement in Paris that Amerl-

rate under the new reciprocity treaty,
although NJ. Meline's cabinet offered
this rate to American leather, caused
considerable amusement in official cir

of the recent negotiations that NJ Me-

ing the new treaty, offered far greater
concessions on American goods than the
present ministry permitted TO be in
serted in the treaty as finally formed.
