REVOLUTIONS KEEP
ALL EYES ON HAITI
Republics Soil Is Fertile, But
People Are Unprogressive
and Country Is Backward.

As the attention Of the public has
teen directed upon the Island o: Haiti.
due to the revolutions and counter
revolutions which have left their scars
of strife upon the little republic. 1t
may be of interest to read some points
of information about the island and its
people.
OF the four islands which compose
the Greater Antilles, Haiti is the sec
ond largest, being the only island OF
the group that is politically independ-
emit. About 400 miles long. Haiti varies
in width from "a to 165 miles. The
western part of the island comprises
the first of the black republics. The
country is agricultural, the soil being
unusually fertile and rich.
Coffee Principal Product.
The principal product is coffee. the
methods Of cultivation being still print
tive. Some sugar is also grown to
meet the domestic demand Inc aSri-
cultural capacity Of the country is
far from being developed, due largely
unprogressive character Of the people.
The commerce of Haiti fiuctuates be.
tween $15,O00, 900 and 100000, most OF
the exports going to France, Germany
and Great Britain. Two-thlrds OF the
coffee goes to France. The republic had
only one line of railway in 1907. and
that was only fifteen miles long. =,
The present constitution was adopted
in 1889 The president Is elected every
seven years, and is assisted by cabinet
of four members nominated by himself
Foreigners, and especially white Tor
eigners, are prohibited from owning
real estate, and are otherwise dfscrimi-
mated against
Military Strength
The military strength of the republic
Is about 1000 men. chiefly infantry. The
navy consists of six vessels which may
be rated as third-class cruisers.
The population is about 100000. About
90 per cent of these are black and the
remaining 10 per cent consist chiefly OF
mulattoes, who form the aristccracy OF
the republic and occupy a prominent
position in state affairs as well as in
the professions.
The blacks are, as rule, inferior In
intelligence to the mulattoes, and the
relations between them are those of
mutual contempt and hatred. The peas
antry show a retrograding tendency In
spite Of century OF practical self
government and freedom.
A large number of the lower classes,
especially in the rural districts, prac-
tice voodoo worshiping, and, accord
occasionally accompanied by human
sacrifices and acts of cannibalism.
Marriage ties are very loose and
polygamy prevails to some extent. The
current language Is French, but the
peasantry speak a dialect.

William v. Cleary, town clerk Of
Haverstraw, N. Y, and political boss
of his district, shot and killed 18-year-
old Eugene Newman who had gone to
his Office to announce his marriage to
the politicians daughter
Charged with first degree murder,
all the father will say is that he is
justified by the unwritten law as
young Newman had wronged his
daughter girl q, years old.
He has made the bride of a week a
widow.
He has killed man, who, what
ever his past offenses, had made good
to him and his family. 90
He had brought irreparable sorrow
to Newman's father, his friend Of a
lifetime.-
Under the facts, there can be no
shadow of justification for his act.

brutal a murder as has ever been per-
petrated and should be judged as
such.

GOOD CAR SERVICE.

There have recently been estab-
|lished two flag stations between
Hodges, and Abbeville, which with
lDarraughs make three intermediate
lstations in twelve miles.
If the people .iof Abbeuille will
laval themselves of these changes to
offer civic opportunities to residents
along this road as the people OF
Greenwood do along the route of the
trolley, much good may result to
|Abbeyille. Children attend school
lin Greenwood from as far up as
Wareyille. Why not children along
the Abbeville Branch attend school
in Abbeyille. The present schedule
makes it possible.
What Abbeville needs is closer con-
tact with her friends in the country.
Free tuition extended to these people
will interest them and engage their
help in the upbuilding of Abbeville;
and the children, brought; up with
associates in AbbeyiIle, will ever look
on Abbeville as home. IF the school
does notlfsele financially able to give
free tuition to out Of town pupils, it
would be a good investment for the
city to- makeg good the necessary sum.
Abbeville's greatest need is to
throw off her apparent reserve, and
to make her friends without the linn
tits realize her true feeling of genuine
hospitality. 49,

that the man recovered entirely, and

Another case of q man supposedly

MSANErOR SICK.

DIR. William A. White, Superin.
tendent of the Hospital for the In
sane, Washington, D.. C., has drawn
fine, but in all likelihood a correct
distinction between insanity and dis
orders of the mind resulting from
impaired physical condition. He
says it is time the word insane, and
the word "hespital" should part
company. The insane are mentally
diseased but not all mentally dis
eased are insane. -
Fewlpeople realize the reflex &C
ton of the mind on the body. Take
persons in great sorrow. AS q rule
they. have no. appetite and If they
eat, even moderately, the reflex &C
sition of the mind so; disturbs the d.
4gestive organs that they suffer i'll
consequences frem+what they have
eaten. The more nervous and men
tally sensitive the person, the more
certain is this the case. g
On the other hand, take a man who
has 'disordered his system by drink
or the use of opiates, bringing about
deranged physical condition. The
effect is to becloud the mind or per-
haps to produce a nervous condition
that may make the man do some un-
accountable act of, violence. There
are then mental disorders due first to
physical disorders and physical dis
orders due first to mental disorders.
Now, Doctor White thinks such pa
itients should be, treated in a hospital
and not in an insane; asylum.
Such fine distinctions would neces-
state the greatest possible efficiency
in diagnosing alleged cases of insan-
ity, and would necessitate the main
tenance Of two institutions, to wit:
an insane, asylum and a State hos
pital.
Ii there has been any just criticism
of the conduct of the Hospital for
the Insane in this State, it Was that
too little attention has been paid to
the recovery OF patients. Doubtless
conditions have not been favorable

IRISH HOME RULE TROU-
BLES.

D4@4ISs .
1t seems to be q very difficult mat
ter to get q correct idea of the pres
emit trouble in Ireland, growing out
of Home Rule bills recently passed
by Parliament. It is certain, how
ever, that Ireland,i is in antuproar, and
the English army in Ireland is par
alyzed by reason of the great num-
Der of designations on the part of its
officers. s.
If we correctly catch the cause of
present troubles, they grow. out OF
the, two elements of population, the
one Celtic aborigines, the other Eng
lish and Scotch, sent over to ireland
by Cromwell to hold the Irish in
check, as it were, after his deyas-
tating wars there. The Celts are al
most entirely Catholics, while those
of English and Irish. descent are gen.
, orally Protestant. The present pop
ulation is made up of something
like 100000 original Irish, and
something like 500, 600 descendants Of
Immigrants. =
Agitation over the question of
Home Rule has extended over a ipe-
piod of something like lib years.
: and the first effort of the British
government to meet the demand was
made by the late VIM. E. Gladstone
in 1886. This bill WAS rejected.
Since then many bills have been! in
trodueed meeting with more or less
favor in the House of Commons only
to be rejected by the Lords. :
aA4fewryears ago a bill was forced
.,on the House of Lords that any bill
not an appropriation bill that has
passed the House of Commons fer
three successive sessions becomes
law, despite rejection by the House
of Lords. Under this bill it: seems
almost certain that Premier AS
:, qpith's Home Rule bill will become
law, and this is the cause of present
troubles.
Anti-Home Rule sentiment is
found mainly in the counties of Lon
'donderry, Antrim, Armah and
Down, the counties originally settled
by English and Scotch settlers; and
J officers of the British army located
in Ireland, themselves mainly Eng
lish, are so in sympathy with this
element of the population that they
are throwing pttheir commissions
rather than aid in quelling disturb
ances. The great majority of the
Irish people want Home Rule. The
population of the four Ulster copn-
ties generally are against it. Eng
land will be in q position that will
~necessitate her enforcing a law that
she has reluctantly, passed, against
the wishes of her friends and sympa-
thizers in the, Irish nation. 1t is 9
pretty messHand bids fair to grow
into very serious troubles by the
time the Home RHle. law is to be
made operative. ~. %
