INSANITY AND INEBRIETY.
Id a recent discussion of the interest
ing questions connected with the State
Lunatic Asylum, between the Columbus
Enquirer-Sun and Thk TtuES-RECOitDEti,
the former fulls into a slight error in
some conclusions, that should be cor
rected.
Quoting Th* Times-Recordeb's edi
torial, the Enquirer Sun adds:
Here then Is evidence, submitted after a
.careful Investigation by the editor of Thk
TiKts-Racoanxa. that Major Ely la not
Insane; that ha was sent to the asylum not a
lunatic, but an Inebriate, aud that he lias
vlrlua ly been restored. This certainly adds
to the value of Major Ely’a letter.
Tbe fact that there Is no provision for
the keeping and care of tbe unfortunate
inebriates of the state compels them to
-remain unprovided for, until they have
rsaobed that deplorable condition where
ut Jury “de lunatic ioquirando” can dad
'them insane enough to be sent to tbe
Aiyluu for lunatlo*. Hence tho Inebri-
. atee now In the asylum were sent there
legally, being duly tried for lnnaoy;
though He]. Ely claims that be was not
thus legally committed.
So far aa ooncerns tbe aanlty of that
gentleman, the editor of Tits Timks-Be-
connEn apoke merely from hi* own ob
servation; and does not presume to pat
bfs judgment against the verdlot of a
Jury (If there was one) rendered months
ego, nor tbe opinions of eminent pbysi-
olans, especially tbe Superintendent of
the Asylum; nor was the statement made
that “Msj. Ely was not sent tc tbe asy
lum as a lunatic,” (though he ctslmi this
to be the case), but that he was now vir
tually restored to sobriety and therefore
to sanity. /
Common justice demands that it the
State is too penurious to provide for tbe
poor Inebriates until their reason Is de
throned, It should then protect them
through their entire convalescence after
their reason'is restored, until they are
are safe from a return of the terrible
disease of Inebriety. Tho dlsobarge of
these patients because, like Maj. Ely,
their sanity is apparently re-established,
would mean s recurrence of their mis
fortune, and would merely double the
Injury whloh the State had Inflicted by
refusing them asylum - In the first In
stance until their roason had been de
throned,
Chili te a great country for newspa
pers. There are more than forty of them
In Valparaiso and Santiago, and there
are others in all the head towns of de
partments. Chili bn* many literary
men, Including a regiment of poets, and
also many scientific men and a multitude
of statesmen and generals. The echoole

tohools, an agricultural school, schools
foi the arts sod trades, military and na
val academies, a national university, all
supported by the government In some
yerrt there have been 1,000 studenti at
the Santiago University.
News from Washington Is to tbe effect
that the federal employe a here are being
assessed In tbe Interest of the Republi
can party. Itii safe to assume that If
the federal clerks and officials of this
city are paying a portion of their salary
Into the boodle fund of the Republican
party that the same thing It being done
in all the Urge cities of the United
States, and that the Republican managers
hare have commenced early the work of
railing money for the great boodle cam
paign of 1803, when millions of dollars
will be spent by them In each doubtful

Hassachusetts.

booming Elder Livingston for president
of the National Alliance In place of Col.
L. L. Polk, who, the Constitution says,
Is to be relegated to “Innocuous dea-

Editor-in-chief Howell. Brer Livingston
Is to be the farmers' candidate for Gov
ernor of Georgia. Brer Howell wants
this plum himself; and so be proposes to
push Brer Leonidas up a peg higher,
to get him out of the way. When it

POLK FOR PRESIDENT.
President Polk of the N-tinnal Farmer.
Alliance, eft thee tty yesterday -or Indian-
spoils, where the annual convention of the
order is to beheld, bexinhlns next Wednes
day. For several days past the Colonel has
kept very elosety tn bis room at the National
preparing hie meuage, which, as tbs bead of
the Alllauce, It Is his duty to deliver at tbe
grand .convention.
Home days ago ns stated to a Post reporter
that be was not a candidate for re-election to
the presl ’cncy of the AllUnre In th , seme of
seeking of the offlee. It had come to him
before without effort on his part. Nor was
he ambitious of any polities! preferment. It
Is admitted fact that Col. Polk lean organ-
leer and leader of men of no medlcre talent.
As an effecltve speaker he compares favora
bly with Jerry Simpson and tbe best orators
la tbe Alliance movement.
It Is tolerably certain that his voice and
Influence will be thrown at Indlanaoollc In
favor of the formation of a third party.
True, the Cincinnati convention, wntch gave
birth to the so-called People's party, will, at
It. meeting here on tho 221 of next February,
have tbe 11 sal determination of th i matter,
but the prime movers la that convention
know that un'ess they have the -upport of
the Alliance, the Psoale's ptrty would be a
very tdim affair Tbe outcome or the moct-
inget the Indiana capital, there! re, If being
watched with eagerness all over the nation.
Polk hits had such bitter contention with
someof the Dsmo-ratle leaden In h's own
Mtate that lie will In all probabtll y strongly
advocate a third Presidential ticket.
He Is'pronnunced In hie hostility to ex-
President Cleveland, and says In the event of
his nnnt nation North Carolina coaid not be
carried by the Democracy. That the advice
of their President wilt have gnat weight
with tbs Alliance delegates 1s n it to be gain
said, and It Is qut e within the tangle of
probability that before tbe meeting at In
dianapolis d'spenoa the third party move
ment will have assumed deflnlte form. It is
also not at all unlikely that the Alllaneemen
raayerrlve ataooncloslon that the man bee
fitted to head the new tloket In tbe straggle
of '92 will be Leonids* L. Polk.—Washington
Post
Tbe Farmer*' Alllanoati a great power
In the land, vet, the volee of its presi
dent la not tho voice of the order, and
whe* Hr. Polk taps that North Carolina
will oast its electoral rote against Cleve
land, or any other nominee of the Dem-
ocratlo party, he le either entirely un
familiar with the etaunohneu of tbe
grand old State whtob gave him birth, or
he ie endeavoring to make political capi
tal for the neat campaign. Should Hr.
Cleveland be the next nominee hie eup-
port from that State ie certain,.and like
wise ie It equally sure to be cast for the
oholooofthe convention even if that
oholoe should fall on Hr. Polk himielf;
but any Third Party candidate will find
himself emphatically “left” In that sec
tion.
NO THIRD PARTY NEEDED.
Mr. Rogers, President of tbe Florida
State Alliance, has recently made a very
wise and conservative address.
President Rogers does nut see the
need of a third party, and believes that
tbe farmer* have only "to stand united
persevere In all reasonable demands, and
the necessary relief will be given them.”
The large majority of thoughtful men
throughout the South will heartily iub-
scribe to this view of tbe matter, and
tbe general and State election* of a few
weeks ago have shown that but little
impression wss made by tbe Third Party
upon the mass of voters.
Several causes combined to bring
about this Indifference to the new polit
ical organization. Hany believed, with
Hr. Rogers, that relief for existing evils
could be found within tbe Democratic
party—sod these were the most Intelll
gent voters and tbe beat informed as to
the political history for tbe past quarter
of a century. They acknowledge tbe
truth that, wherever the Demooraoy has
secured supremacy either in State or na
tional affaire, It has been truly a ‘‘peo
ple's party” in tbe manifest effort to
secure the welfare of all olasses of tho
peoplo.
There le another olass—hardly leu In
telligent, and very prudent, obeemnt
men—who, while aoting with the Demo
cratic party, have never cherished any
enthtulaetlo love for Democratic princi
ples; bat they have seen the mismanage
ment and corruption of Radicalism, es
pecially in the administration of tbe
Southern States; and rather than risk a
return to this horrible mlsgovernment
they forbaro a vain quest after Utopia
Into a new and untried faction.
The material on which the People'*
Party is founded Is of foreign stuff to
Southern peoplo, aud the personnel of
the blatant leaders who held up the
babe in Its swaddling clothes at Cincin
nati last Hay and yelled in frenzy, Is
very distasteful to the decency aud
conservatism of this part of the eountry.
Altogether tho People’s Party is a
bugaboo which can raise the hair “Uke
quills upon tbe fretful porcupine” only
upon tho soft cranium* of very timid
people. Let the Third Party die (u It
surely will) a natural death.
Editors Stovall of tbe Augusta
Chronicle and Tom Morphy of the Even
ing Herald of the tame city have left
Augusta and begun in Savannah tto
publication of the Afternoon Press.
Messrs. Stovall aud Hurphy make a
strong team, and Savannah is to be con
gratulated upon securing eucb editorial
talent. With two such bright writers
upon its editorial side the Press cannot
de otherwise than achieve success.
THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
In three week* from to-day the con
test for Speakership of the Fifty-second
Congress will have been decided. It is
» pleasant reflection for all Democrats
that, whoever may be called to that high
office, he will be a Democrat who bold*
to the uttermost tbe confidence of ble
party. There bas been one develop-
ment of the campaign, however, which
is to be deplored. In the zeal of the
friends of the rival candidates tbe can
vass has fallen below tbe high plane
upon which it should hare been coo-
ducted. Early in tbe campaign, some of
tbe friends of Hr. Mills, including prom
inent Democratic journals, opened
most unprovoked and unwarranted at
tack on Congressman Crisp. Misrepre
sentation followed upon misrepresenta
tion, until the great Democratic press of
the country entered earnest protest
against it. We regret to see that the
same tactics are new being employed to
weaken and de'eat Mr. Mills. He’is
charged with making deals of one sort
and another with anti-silver
by which lie is to get support
from Eastern Democrats, and, in re
turn, If elected Speaker, they are
to be recognized in making up the
committees aud in shaping the legisla
tion on tbe silver question. While tho
Enquirer-Sun la desirous for the election
of Judge Crisp, and has been earnest in
hie support, we cannot sympathize with
this sort of attack on Mr. Mills. We do
not believe that he bas been or will be a
party to any compromising deal. He is
a man of exalted character, a stalwart
Democrat, who deserves and has- tbe
confidence of bis party.
Let there be no more of this. Let
Democrats remember that the candidates
are all faithful and earnest workers for
the snoeess of the party. These attacks
are calculated to weaken tho Influence
of these Democratic loaders and thereby
weaken tbe party. Tbe Speakership
campaign should be conducted In friend
ly rivalry so that when It ends tbero will
1m engendered no bitterness or division.
Tho end of the South ehould be the
lection of that candidate who, In the
high office to which he le called, will
best serve hlz country and Illustrate tbe
great party principle of hie party. And
all Democrats should come together In
that result—Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Travelers may learn a lesson from Mr.
C. D. Cone, a prominent attorney of
Parker, Dakota, who eays: “I never
leave homo without taking a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy with me, and on many oc
casions have run with It to the relief of
aome sufferor and have never known it
