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 are free, and the eduoat|onal system provides for provincial lyoeums, normal 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 States ss New York, Indiana, Iowa and Hassachusetts. The Atlanta Constitution Is now 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- uotujlo." Now, observe tbe cuteness of 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 comca to fixing a SUte Brer Howell U equal to a whole National convention of politicians. “Toe Americas TiMEe-REConoEB U among tbe papers that continues to Improve. Ataerlcus is doubtless proud of Its handsome newspaper.” The At lanta Constitution pays Brer Btanton $10 perllne for such beautiful'gems of thought as tbe above; and that U why the Constitution has become one of the greatest papers in America. It will have editorial talent regardless of cost Pless Stovall’s versatile and classic pen Is silent for a few weeks. It is tbe twilight that heralds the the dawn. Judge Cusp's chances for tbs speak ership brighten each day and his friends are sanguine. 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 to fail.
