INSANITY IN ANCIENT TIMES.
Early References to Abnormal Mental
Conditions-Music as a Cure.


The earliest known historical ref
erence to insanity, says the Popular
Science Monthly, occurs in Egypt
papyri of the fifteenth century B. {.
In one of these, according to Mahatfy,
music is spoken of as employed in the
treatment Of insanity, and many for
mulac are given for the cure of dis
eases caused by an evil spirit dwelling
within the body. Probably the next
earliest record is that found in He
brew history, referring to the same
therapeutic agent. this time used to
calm the troubled spirit Of Saul (lO5j
b. c.. In the first book Of Samuel
We read: "Whcn the evil spirit was
upon Saul. that David took a harp
and played with his hand; so Saul
was refreshed and was well and the
evil spirit departed from him." The
Legendary history Of Greece affords
numerous instances Of madness. but
as TO the treatment in these early
times there Is only eloquent silence.
The belief in dcmoniacal possession
was prevalent amongall primitive peO-
pies. furnishing clew for such treat
mcnt as was anywhere attempted, and
this belief, giving way few centuries
later to a partial realization Of the
physical basis of insanity in the best
medical minds, recurs again in the
darkness and decadence of the middle
ages, but magnifed and rendered ter
rible by the ignorance and gross super
,ttions Of the time. In ancient Egypt,
demons were exercised and lunatics
purified in temples dedicated to Sat-
urn. The god Khons is said to have
answered prayers for the cure of an
Asiatic princess. The priests Of
Egypt, who were also physicians Of
the day, were not unmindful of the
benefit Of hygienic measures, and COM
bincd with them the charm of music
and the influence of the beautiful in
nature and in art.

Whatever may be said of Tom
Johnson's Democracy, it is un-
doubtedly true that his administra-
ton of Cleveland's affairs has
caught the fancy of the voters, 4"

days victory was proof of that
Not only were a Democratic city
treasurer, director of schools and
two justices of the peace elected,
but the majority in the city council,
Further, several Republican men,
bers of the council who were in
dorsed by johnson because of their
stand on the Scent car fare ques-
ton were elected. Last fall Guy
ahoga county went solidly Demo
ocratic for the first time in thirty
years, the campaign having been
fought on Johnson's issue of equal
taxation, with special reference to
the public service corporations,

taxation on more than two-thirds

The above explanation of John

fittingly applied to Reeds victory
at Kansas City. Reed made his
campaign on the johnson lines
in fact he copied the johnson plat
form as closely as conditions

CONGRESS WILL PAY.
Expenses of President Nc
Kipley's Funeral.

Washington, May 2.-Congress
will pay the funeral expenses of
President Mckinley, including the
physicians bills, over which there
has been so much contention. An
item is to be inserted in the ur-
gent denfiency ll,now under con-
sideration by the house committee
on Appropriations, which provides
for an appropriation of 500, 900 to
defray the expenses attending the
death and burial of the President.
1t is understood that an agree
ment has been reached whereby
$31 900 of the amount appropri-
ated shall go to the physicians and
the remainder will be used to de-
fray the funeral expenses.
Those interested have been con-
suited, and it is believed that the
allowance will be satisfactory to all
concerned. Statements of all the
expense incurred were submitted
to the committee and the amount
named will cover all obligations of
the Government.

THE Ramsey, H., News-Jour-
nal makes the following correct
diagnosis of the feeling in the ranks
of the Democratic party. The
rank and file of democracy will
never consent to compromise of
right principles for the sake of
the loayes and fishes of office hold
ing. In the trying days in which
tins nation was born, those who
would compromise with or make
concession to the Britons, were
justly called tories, And those
today who would compromise or
make concession with the party
which is in sympathy with the
British government, and actually
sorry that the continentals licked
King George III, are not sympathy
with true Americanism.

Twas a Combine.

The Vandalia Leader and the
Centralia Courier both say that
il was n combine that defeated
Miss Sallee for treasurer. The
Courier makes the following com
ments: Miss Sallee has been de-
feated and good many great,
strong, stalwart men can now
breathe easily and sleep sweetly.
The truth is they were greatly
disturbed for fear the little girl
would be elected and their prestige,
power, influence and means of a
livelihood taken from them. They
gravely reasoned together should
Miss Sallee be chosen, women
would usurp all the offices and
there would be nothing for the
men to do but chew tobacco, say
cuss words and spit on fish hait.
But the hideous nightmare has
passed. Not strong enough to enter
the vocation of Office holding with
a little girl and take their chances
of winning on their merit, the big,
brawny, robust men got together
and combined to avert the great ca
lamity of competition with woman
in Office holding. Now let the
women stay Mt home and be good.
Let them understand that they
have no right to make their own
living and be independent, but
must of very necessity accept the
hand of the first plugugly that offers
himself in matrimony and take in
washings and raise poultry and
garden truck to clothe the children
and buy chubby" his tobacco.
Let them know their place and
fully understand that all the good
paying positions in life are for the
"lords of creation" Forty years
ago women kept their places better
than they do now. Then woman
school teacher was unheard of
while now the girls are getting gay
and crowding the big lusty lunged,
ox.sinewed, stalwart men out of the
school room. It's simply awful
and a stop must be put to this adj
vancement on their part at once.
Why, if it keeps on it will get so a
man will have to be some account,
will have to be clean, sober, manly
and worthy before an intelligent,
lovely girl will marry him, because
she will be able to make her own
way in the world without him.
This of course would never do.
But the clouds have rolled by, "fel
lers," and for the time being we
are safe in the strong citadel OF
our own mighty sovereignty.

AltgeId on jefferson.


lowing in the footsteps of jefferson.
Why, my friend, jefferson was the
great radical of his day. He re-
ferred everything back to the peo-
Pile; he wanted everything left i'll the
hands of the people. When he
secured the overthrow of primo
gcnturc in the colony of Virginia,
he was denounced in unmeasured
terms as IA demogog and an enemy
Of society; when he overthrow the
power of the church, and establish
ed freedom of religion he was de-
nounced as an emissary of Satan, Il
low, vulgar fellow, and Ms he advo-
Gated and secured the establishment
of free public schools in which the
children of the poor were to be
educated at the expense of the
rich, the whole vocabulary of de
nunciatiOn was exhausted. He
was called II demogog, socialist,
and agitator and the enemy of all
that was good in society Jeifer-
son indeed did say that that gov
eminent was best which governed
least, that was when he was speak
ing of the governments that are
distinct from the people; that are
n constant menace to the people,
that are a convenience for the pow
erful in plundering the people.
But that is very different propo-
sitiOn from having the people
manage their own affairs; from
having them control and own
those things upon which their
comfort, their happiness, their
health and their lives depend.
Were jefferson alive today, his
voice would be heard from ocean
to ocean demanding that the peo-
pie themselves must own the mon
oplies.
In 1868, Abraham Lincoln stood
on the battlefield of Gettysburg
and with tears in his eyes, prayed
that the government of the people
for the people and by the people
might not wither from the face of
the earth, and in less than forty
years, the substance of republican
government has vanished from
America, and we can't restore il
until the forces which destroyed il
are wiped out. If there were no
other reason why the people should
own the monopolies than that i,
will give them back their govern
ment, that reason is in itself suf.
ficient. Wipe out the private
monopolies and it will again be
possible for the popular will to
make itself felt in the city councils,
in state legislatures, in the nation
al government and in party con
ventions. 1t will restore Amer
lean character and American man
hood. 1t will restore the great
principle of truth, of liberty, and
of justice, and men will again
look to the stars and labor for the
elevation of the race.
