number Of ineane sdeuendents in this
State has increased no less than 1900
per cent. in the past fifty years, and
since 1891 the increase has been 66 2-3
per cent. This means that incanity has
far outrun the natural increase of pop
ulation and is working fearful ravages
among the citizens of New Jersey. In
1850 the total population of this State
was 4s9, ,7O3; it is now 2,144,134, an in
crease of 1886 per cent, but in the same
time insanity has increased more than
FIVE times as rapidly as population. In
1890 the population of New Jersey was
/, ,444. 1888. and the increase since then. has
been little over forty-eight percent,
the same period has been 1S 2-3 per
cent. greater than that of population.
These are stratling facts and figures.
for they show that with the best possible
care and treatment, with all the modern
appliances. with all the increase, of
knowledge, labor-saving machines and
methods of making life easy and com
Portable, insanity is constantly and rap
inly gaining on poulation. At least 1.2
per cent. of all the people OF this State.
and probably more, are now inmates of
the State and county institutions for the
insane. .
What, is the cause Of this tendency to
uncound mind? What causes degeneracy,
mental and physical? Superintendent
Mcconnell, of the Atlantic County acy-.
lum, says that excessive liquor drinking
is largely responsible for. the filling Of
the States institutions. He claims that
where the most liquor. is drank the larg
est number of lunatics is found. His OBJ
strvations are more particularly applica-
bic to the South Jersey counties, in which
alcoholic liquors, are consumed in prefer
ence to malt drinks, but they concur with
the statistics recently compiled by The
American Grocer, which shows that in
the last ten years the per capita con-
sumption of alsoholic spirits has in
creased in the United States from 1.O1
gallons to 1.45 gallons per year. while
the consumption of beer has increased
from 1888 to 1850.
We, as a people, are living too fast
too strenuously, no doubt, and this is
one cause of incanity; but as people
we are also drinking aHogetnef 100 much,
and this is the prolific cause of mental
degeneracy. The insanity records prove
it beyond the shadow of doubt, and the
records of the county jails, the reforma
tories and the State prison add their If

truth. If temperance could inculcated
and practised, to say nothing whatever of
total abstinence, the prison cells and the
insane asylum wards would gradually
become depleted, and in time almost to-
tally emptied of their wretched inmates.
