itisano Ihcro are in tho United Staes or
in the several stales, and wo have no fig
ures which enable its to give the propor
tion of cures effected even in the asy
lums for tlio treatment of lunatics. In
those countries and communities, howev
er, where we arc ttnablu to compare the
number of the insane who have become
a public charge during successive de
cides, wo do, indeed, find an au enor
mous increase, which seems to justify the
very common belief in tho friglitful
growth of lunacy in our time.
In Fngiaud, in 18.VJ, with n popula
tion of l!),(iSr,,701, there wero known
IS" insane and idiotic persons to each
100.001) of the inhabitants, or one in ev
ery fiM. In 1 87." tho number had in
creased to 271 in every 100,(100, or one
in each 303. In Franco tho number of
insane in Iho asylums nearly quadrupled
between 1 8t." and 1870, and also in
creased trom .11.fi in each 100,000 of
the population to 100..'!, or very nearly
thrcc'timcs. In Paris alone the admis
sion to insane asylums increased more
than sixfold between 1S00 and 1H711,
while in tho same time tho population
was scarcely tiehled. In Massachusetts
the number of the insane in tho asylums
has increased m ''J years from ."0 lo
,77(1, and the lato proportionately to
the population Ita augmented more than
eighteen times, l nc nuninor nt insane
in the Stale at present w ho are not in
asylums is also estimated to be between
1,000 and 1,."jOO.
This certainly looks as if insanity was
on the increase at an alarming rate, but
Dr. Climes F. Folsom, from whom wo
obtained these figures, gives reasons to
show thai the increase is rather nppar
cut than real. His discussion of the
subject was in the lorin of a lecture lo
Uie graduating class of the Harvard
Medical School.
' In tin first place, the definition of in
sanity is much wider now than it used to
lie. Less than Ii ft v veils ago tho capa
liability of repeating the multiplication
table was gravely propounded m auluig
lish court al a lesl ot sanity in a case in
volving a largo sum of inoni'v. This was
at a time when a lunalic was a person
to be chained like a wild beant. Indeed,
until the beginning of this eenturv the
courts almost universally held that lo bo
executed from punishment on the ground
of insanity a man must bo depiiveil of
all memory and understanding, and no
more knows what he is doing than 'an
infant, In uie, or wild beast.' Nowadays
a very considerable proportion of the in
males ol an insane iisylum ate quiet am
ordeilv people, while .some ol them aro
capable) of a degree of exact and logical
roil:. ming which would not discredit
gieat proportion of the men anil women
who are 1 egarded as. entirely sane. Out
ot ten thousand people taken at random,
prob.ililv al least twice as many would
be called insane now as in the same mini
her 1 1 ft v years ago.
Foi ineily, too, lunacy was looked upon
as a piisscnsinu by (lie devil, and people
often did their bent lo keep secret the in
sanity of relatives as something disgrace
ful or of evil omen. Hut nowadays, when
mental aberration is regarded and treat
ed as a disease only in thehopoo! obtain
ing for them a cure, or the desire to se
cure for them mine siiilable care, lends
families lo sei d their insane lo. ah asy
lum as to a hospital. Men and women,
too, who aro aware of their liability to
lose self control will sometimes secure
their own commitment.
'The supposed frightful increase of in
sanity doe's not, therefore, actually exist.
Unfortunately, as we have said, our sta
tistics of the nialadv do not enable us lo
say positively whether or iml more peo
ple become insane each year ill propor
tion lo '.he population, but there is un
questionably a moderate inci ease in men
tal alienation, as in all otlier diseases of
tin brain and nervous system. 'The very
complete and accurate mortality statis
tics ol Massachusetts show that the
deaths from insanity. paialysW,.upoplexv,
and unspecified diseases of tho brum
were l.'i.S.'S per 10,000 inhabitant-) in
187.1, against 1 1.00 in lSfi.V
It is noteworthy that insanity occurs
more often in the most degraded' class of
a civilucd people than among tho high
or and educated. It reaches its max
imum where civilization and misery co
exist, and its minimum among barbarous
leople. It is a disease chiefly ol old and
ivili.ed communities. And if wo look
for its most prolific cause wo find it in
tlio abiiso of alcoholio liquors. That

Arthur was intrusted with the collection

Now wo have seen what Secretary
Sheiinan and li. 15. Hayes said of Mr.
Arthur, let its see what w.as said of Mr.
Kuglish when ho was inti listed with po
litical power.
1 resident liiichanan wrote to.Mr. i!.ng-
lish as follows:
It was your fate to cud a dangerous
agitation, to confer lasting bonelits upon
vour country, and to make vour charac-
lea historical. I shall remain always
vour friend. If I had a thousand vptes
you should have them all with a hearty
jood will.
And now let us see what his constitu
ents said when he retired irom ot
lice. The'conveiitiou which nominated
lis successor adopted unanimously tho
following resolution:
Hnnlvetl, 'That in selecting a candi
daleto represent this district in tho Thirty-seventh
Congress, wo deem it a prop
er occasion to express tho respect and
esteem w" entcitain tor our present mem
ber, Hon. W. II. lCnglish, and our con
fidence in him as a public olhccr. In
his retirement in accordance with his
well known wishes, from the position of
representative, which ho has so long
Illicit with credit to hiniselt ami beneht
to tho country, we heartily greet him
with the plaudit, 'Well done thou good
and faithful servant.' '
Again: Mr. Kuglish was for fifteen
year intrusted with the management of
one of the most important linan'cial in
stitutions in tho West, from which hu
voluntarily re tired with the thanks of
the directors and stockholders, "for tho
very great financial ability, constant
watchfulness and perfect tidelity with
which he has managed it from itn oigan
i.ation to the pre-ent lime.
And this resolution was offered by
Col. John C New. now the chairman of
the Indiana liepublicnn central commit
tee.
1 loii! then is the whole case in a nut
shell: Kuglish was faithful lo the pub
lic trusts committed to him and vol
untarily rctiriil with the praise of hi
administration and the unanimous plaud
its of his constituents, 'well dono thou
good and faithful servant;' whereas Ar
tliur proved recreant to his, and was
kicked out of his oflico in disgrace, 'in
order' as li. 1!. Hayes, and Secretary
Sheiinan said, that tho oflico might bo
honestly administered.'
Theso aro not partisan statements, but
plain unvarnished facts which honest
thinking people will not fail to consider
in making up a judgment as to which of
those two men it would be safest to in
trust with public office.
