The rupture at the Norfolk Htnto hospital for the Insane emphasizes nnow the necessity for n change from the pri'sont vicious niothoil of appointment - mont nnil discharge of liuiuls of sUUo inHtltutloiiR nl the nrlillrnry ( llncrollon of ono tiiiui without providing any moans of JiiHllllcatlon or appeal for thoHo who may consider thomuolvt'H wronged. It IH a syntctn that Is alHo demoralizing to Htuto InHtltutlons and detrimental to the Interests of the pub lic. The flcandalH anil political rows In Ino state of Nebraska during the past twenty yearn have made our state no torious and they must bo charged to the system rather than to the mis management or Infamy of olllcliils , for It IB unhellevahlo that mon select ed to such high poRltlons Hhould all lie culpable. Not only do the heads of institutions change with the election of n governor or different political party hut the rule has been that dif ferent govoinors of the same political faith iniiUo n change all around. The exigencies of politics or the bias or whim of a governor may at any time raiiHo another shaking up and frequently charges arc trumped up and scandals Invented and oven newspapers give spoeo to rumors In tended to discredit the olllclals. In nearly all states at present the state Institutions are managed by a board of trustees elected at the polls as are our university regents. This docs away with ono-mnn power and takes out of party politics unless ono party should be In control of the state for a number of years. In the present Instance the public can only guess at the real trouble. There are charges of friction among the olllclnls , that Mrs. .lones wouldn't talk to Mrs , Drown , that an employe got drunk and also dark and mysteri ous rumors of dark deeds and horrible practices committed within the walls of the hospital , These vnguo rumors flnd credence among the morbid and superstitious who find themselves , ow ing to the advance of civilization , de prived of their cherished ghost stories and their sympathy Is aroused for the Insane In tiuth there Is a vast amount of misrepresentation abroad about the Insane. The facts are that two-thirds are hopelessly and perma nently Insino , a majority are filthy , many are vicious and exaggerated hu man passions run riot all of the time. Consequently lights will take place among the patients and patients must bo restrained and sometimes an at tendant loses his temper , but that any systematic neglect or cruelty exists In asylums Is unworthy of credence. The superintendent of the Norfolk hospital Is a man of mature years and wide experience , both as a physician and a business man. Ho enjoys the esteem of the people of his own com munity and they have elected him to fill Important olllcos. Ho Is known as n person of kindly disposition and l > road judgment. As an applicant for Ills present position , ho received the endorsement of various committees nnd ofllco holders In bis own party He was at that time serving as a mem lor of the state senate. IIo received the unquallllcd endorsement of the Nebraska State Medical society cre dentials more Important to the public than any political pull could bestow nnd so far as the management of the hospital under his charge is concerned , there has been no complaint oven from those who seek to remove him. The removal and impeachment of Dr. Alden , therefore , under these circum stances , must stand as a strong argu ment in favor of a new system of ap pointing institution heads in Nebraska \ RURAL ROUTE M'CARTHY. SJ J McCarthy will have by next BJarch spent four years In the Unltei ! States congress from the Third dls trlct of Nebraska , during which time lie shall have received far bo It fron us to claim that ho has earned it some $20,000 in cold cash for his ser vices. He now comes before the pee pie of this district to ask that they send him back for the third term making his residence in Washlngtoi six Instead of four years and puttiu into his bank account another $10,000 This residence In Washington mus be given to someone from the Thin district , to bo sure , In compliance with the laws of the country. And the $10.- 000 must bo paid to someone , likewise to comply \ \ Itli the law , but the people of the Third district have a right to demand that In return for the honor that they bestow in this position , and in return for the $5,000 per year which they pay their congressmen , they shall receive something moro than a resi dent in Washington. They want n real congressman. And so , in considering the matter of pending Mr , McCarthy hack to Wash * ! tngton , wo people of the Third district' naturally begin to auk , "What ban he done during his four years ? " And It Is but fair that wo accept Mr. McCar thy's own statement for thin , as It has been presented by him through his olllclal organ at Fremont. In pre senting the story of his usefulness during the past four years , Mr. McCar thy , after devoting a few hundred words to generalities In which he de clares that hu has been good , useful , olllcleiit , effective and powerful , ho comes to the two things that ho can lay claim to having accomplished. IIo declares that ho has created rural free delivery In his district , having Increased - creased the number of rural routes from forty to 220 , and that ho has fur ther put In his time doing much great work looking after ponslonu. ( Jreat ! ( Jreal I How proud wo people of the plains of the Thlid district should feel of a man who has risen from our midst and who has brought to our vicinity an Impiovemont In civilization that wo never could have had but for his ef forts I How wo should cheer him and tluow up our hatfl for him who has created a mall service for our farm ers that they nevur could have known of but for the Ingenious McCarthy from Ponca ! It Is almost too much to believe , but the records show that when McCarthy entered congress , there were a vaflt majority of our farmers who know nothing of the rural free delivery service , while now now , at the end of his four years of won derful work there are 220 rural routeB In the district , nnd farmers on these routes are receiving mall every day all because of McCarthy ! What rare Judgment wo republicans of the Third district who fought for him ( at our own expense ) displayed In choosing this ono man out of nil the multitude to represent us down east where the diplomats of the na tion assemble and make history for the world ! And how much the prog ress of this country would have been retarded If wo had never located Mc Carthy and sent him hurrying to Washington ! But for him , the farm ers of this country might still bo get ting only ono mall a week , and that when they drove to town for it. What a place In history will bo given to this Rural Route McCarthy of ours ! "Immodesty ? " you say , In thnklng | ever the things that have made up the record of effort put forth by our statesman from the Third In all of those four years' service at Washing- on ? Hush ! You fall to appreciate his genius. "Nervy ? " you exclaim , In noting the 'act that any ono man out hero In this art of the pralrlo should claim credit 'or the Idea and the execution of that dca which has launched the rural free lollvery service in nil America , nnd kvblch has spread It through every county and Into every hamlet of all hose United States ? Bo gone , you are trejudlced against this power from 'oncn. Surely , If you would give it i fair Investigation , you would flnd hat It must have been McCarthy who tlrst Introduced the rural route Idea nto the postolllco department. It must have been our own Rural Route McCarthy who invented that modern mprovemont , for in his Fremont or- ; iui ho modestly admits that It has wen through him that the Third dls- rlct of Nebraska "his" district , by ho way has como to enjoy this ser vice , and wo are all fair enough to eallzo that there Is Just ono man In ho nation entitled to credit for rural routes and ho Is the man who first conceived the Idea and put Into prac tical working order through the post- : illlco department , which Inter spread the now service out ever this nation , without the aid or consent of any In significant congressman on earth. Perhaps we owe to Mr. McCarthy a debt of deepest gratitude for the fact that wo people of the Third district have been allowed to got letters nt all , and for the fact that the trains have continued to run. Ho could have stopped the old-established postal ser vice In this territory just as easily ns he could have checked the spread of rural route service In the Third dls trict of Nebraska. But It was a wonderful bit of states manship which prompted Rural Route McCarthy to Keep out of the way of rural delivery extension , nnd not to try to prevent its getting into the Third district. And besides this as his four years' accomplishment , ho says that ho has looked after pensions. Verily , wo be- llevo ho has eaten three meals a day as well. Ho Is such an all round man nnd such a worker ! And It was a new Idea for him to look after pen sions ! Wo wonder what would have happened If ho hadn't looked after the few pensions that remain to help along the over thinning ranks of the deserv ing veterans who gave their blood for this nation ? And yet ho claims that as ono of his great achievements ! Surely , Pension McCarthy Is nn Edi son with his now conceptions of ben efiting humanity ! But the greatest pension that Mc Carthy has looked after , so far ns we can Dgure , has been the pension for ' j one .1 J. McCarthy of Ponca , of 15,000 per year , which he has kept going for four years and which ho now asks to bo made perpetual. Alongside of McCarthy In congress has been Klnkald of O'Neill , who has done things to help along the country and to scttlo up Nebraska. There Is Pollard who has tried and at last suc ceeded In getting things dona for the sake of the nation's apple crop nnd other fruits. There Is Norrls who has at least got his name In the records of congress by trying to Increase his own term from two to four years. There Is Kennedy who has got mar ried. ried.And And then there Is our own loyal , faithful , "man among men , " our very , very own R. P. D. McCarthy who lias done absolutely nothing at all but draw has pay and como back to run for an other terml NOT GUILTY. Since John R. Hays has received the oappolntmont as postmaster at Nor- oik , ono can't help wondering wheth er The Norfolk NOWB wouldn't have considered Congressman McCarthy tvoithy of a third term had the latter indorsed the Norfolk NOWB editor for ho reversion of John R.'s position. Tllden Citizen. The above Insinuation , which Is said o hnvo been maliciously started from Norfolk by persons who know better , night help Mr. McCarthy's light for a bird term In Washington at the hands : ) f the people of the Third district , , voro It not for the fact that The News editor has never In his life been a andldate for the olllco of postmaster ir any other olllco. The people of Norfolk know this. Mr. McCarthy owB that ho never had an opportu nity to endorse The News edltorfor % in olllce , and ho also knows that he ould not have prevented the reap- lolntment of John R. Hays If ho had rlcd. It Is apparent that the Tllden opor has been inn do the victim of a 'alschood which was started In Nor- 'olk a few days ago In a back banded ivay , with the evident Intent of spread- ng it by means of newspapers which lid not know the truth. The absurdity and the unfairness of ho insinuation , ( If was , of course , tarted In Norfolk for the very pur- lose of being unfair ) Is only too clear- y shown by the fact that ono of the Irst endorsers.of John R. Hays for eappolntmcnt was W. N. Huse. TYPICAL M'CARTHY ARGUMENT. The statement that Congressman McCarthy has not treated the news papers fairly Is untrue. Thcro are graftoia In the newspaper profession who expect pay for every line they : iubllsh about a candidate and they would support the devil for ofllco If ho lad the price. It Is that class of ed- tors who are fighting McCarthy. The dltorlal columns of this paper are lot for sale. When wo say a good word for a candidate it is because wo hlnk ho is deserving of it and not be cause we mo being paid for doing so , uul on the other hand , when wo con- Ider a man unfit for ofllce ho will be amlmsted freely without money and without price. It Is only In this way .hat a newspaper can bo of any ser- ; lco to the public. The fact that Mc- Caithy is not buying newspaper sup port is a good reason why ho should bo re-elected to congress. Ponder Re- uibtlc. The vicious libel contained In the above article Is an illustration of the argument which Is essential to n Mc Carthy campaign , and It Is a sample of the kind of mud which has always formed the meat of all that repub- lean editors could find to say in be- lalf of our Rural Route representa tive from Ponca. Perhaps Mr. Hubbard ( who , Incl- ilentally , Is editor of the Ponder Re public and who printed the malicious squib referred to ) does not know that libel cases formed a pretty good sized portion of the wake of the last cam paign that was conducted by the news papers of this district in behalf of the Ponca power. And it cost the editor of this paper a pretty sum to settle out of court for n few things that were printed in these columns just to boom the congressional candidate. The News has taken the lead In fighting McCarthy , and therefore It Is unquestionably The News editor to whom Mr. Hubbard refers when ho spenkd of "that class of editors who are fighting McCarthy. " I3y this , the Ponder man means "grafters In the newspaper profession who expect paj for every line they publish about a candidate and who would support the devil for olllco If ho had the price. " That Is a pretty serious charge for a newspaper that has merely its pre judice as a backing , to mako. It maybe bo the only typo of argument that can bo found In favor of McCarthy. It Indicates Inexperience in the man who prints It. For the statements which Mr. Hubbard has printed are libel Ho could bo sued for libel on the strength of what ho has printed , Just as other editors have been sued before for things that they aimed at enemies of McCarthy , In order to boost the Ponca statesman. Wo haven't time to sue Hubbard for libel , nor the in cllnation. But in the highest court that wo care to appeal to the people of the Third district of Nebraska- Mr. Hubbard's own statements have > randcd him. When ho says that the clans of ed- torB who are lighting McCarthy's bird term are "grafters who would support the devil If ho had the price , and who expect pay for every line hey publish about n candidate , " ho ; lvcs utterance to one of the most un scrupulous and unfounded falsehoods that has been printed , within our knowledge , In the history of Nebraska [ lolltlcs. And ho knows it. Mr. Mc Carthy also knows that his Ponder friend libels the newspaper men of Nebraska who now demand that a , congressman be sent to Washington from this district who can earn his $ f ,000 per year , and who can do some thing for his district. So far as the bitterness of the Pen- lor editor's words Is concerned , It merely reflects upon his own charac ter and his own lack of Judgment and experience. Such llbolous stories may 10 needed to create sentiment for Mc Carthy , but they are untrno and the lieoplo know It. Has It como , to that stage of clvlll- nation where an unknown editor of an unidentified newspaper can declare that all persons who dlsagrco with him as to the merits of our public men , are to bo defamed nnd declared 'grafters who would support n devil Tor price ? " Wo pleirl not guilty to the allega tion of over having supported a devil for olllco. Perhaps the nearest approach preach to that being that over dragged hlB paper Into his campaign was our rlcnd from Ponca. And wo did the paying that time not the candidate. All of the argument that the Pen- lor paper can find as to why McCar thy ought to go back to Washington nnd bo given another $10,000 of this llstrlct's money , Is "that ho Is not liuylng newspaper support. " This Is labelled as "a good reason why he should be re-elected " - to congress. And so wo have at length , one reason why Rural Route McCarthy should be returned , and why his salary should 10 transformed Into n. pension. In truth , that Is moro reason than the rest of the district Is able to flnd. Hut the Ponder paper has much to earn In McCarthy's way of politics. It has , for ono thing , to learn that printing libel will In the end come inck as a boomerang , and bo expen sive. ( Our libel suit taught us that naxlm. ) It has to learn that whenever - over McCarthy tolls it to malign some- lody ( true , Mac. doesn't offer a pleas ant smllo for doing'lt ) the statements of our statesman want to bo venfled. For already Brother Hubbard has gotten Into the falsifying class. He ms libelled the newspapers of the Third district who want a real con- rossman. IIo has aimed his libel at The News , as the first to attack Mc Carthy. In reply , \\e defy Mr. Hub- bard to prove that this paper has over in its existence asked or received one penny for supporting any political can lldate. And wo demand that he either como up with his proof , or swoiiow the lie. CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN. Lively Contest. Nebraska Politician : With Con gressman McCarthy out for renomina- tlon , Senator Young of Stanton county and Judge J. F. Boyd of Neligh an nounced as active candidates against him and the democrats preparing to get Into the game of politics will be decidedly active in the Third district this summer. What Has He Done ? Coleridge Blade : Hon. J. J. McCar thy reported , so his friendly papers say , when he returned to congress , that ho anticipated no particular op position against his third term nomina tion. It's nlco to have a sure thing and be able to tell about It However , judging from the impression which Judge Boyd is reported to bo making wherever he goes this "sure thing , " like most other sure things may prove a poor tip to guess on. The hoodoo still follows McCarthy : What has he done ? McCarthy's Poor Record. Utlca Sun : Congressman McCarthy of the Third district Is trying to got a nomination In that district for a third term , but ho will undoubtedly have a hard time getting It without the aid of the newspapers. The way ho treated W. N. Huso of The Norfolk News ho deserves to bo defeated and that If not defeated In the convention every republican paper In the district should turn against him and defeat him at the noils. His record as a con gressman has not been very much any' how for the district , and certainly other mon can bo found who are as able as ho Is. Another Vapor Stunt. Coleridge Blade : The Wausa Gazette zetto has swung from the McCarthy camp nnd is out In favor of Judge Hoyd for congress. Since Editor Huso "made good" and proved that Mac did say of the elucidations of republican editors "tho d fool vaporings" and a good share of thorn are n little "nutty" for that matter a lot of the boys who haven't postolllces are doing another "vapor" stunt over what Mac hasn't done besides drawing his sal ary. It's hard Indeed on the news paper boys to sit Up all night with their heads swathed in cold cloths studying up bouquets ami then to have their rose smell as well as "d fool vaporings , " Weakest Plea Ever. Tokamnh Herald : The Fremont Tribune , In an attempt last week to boost McCarthy for a third term In congress , gives that gentleman all the credit for the rural mall routes In the Third congressional district. That Is too thin to wash. The Tribune banks too much on the Ignorance of the read ing public. The average farmer knows as much about how he gets his dally mall as the editor of the Tribune. That It was obtained by a national law creating n rural mall route de partment In connection with the post al service. If Mr. McCarthy did all this , why did wo have a superinten dent of the rural mall routes located at Omaha , why had wo special agents go ever the routes nnd recommend the service. These routes are established all over the state wherever the popu lation Is dense enough to support them. If Mr. McCarthy helped any In getting any of these routes , located or assisted any pensioner In obtaining what was duo him ho only did what ho Is paid for. Would the Tribune expect Mr. McCarthy to draw his $5- 000 per annum without doing any thing ? When It comes to giving him credit for all the rural mail routes es tablished In this district in the last three years It makes the weakest plea that we ever saw advanced in behalf of a candidate. Articles On Free List. Nebraska Liberal : McCarthy Is doubtless still In favor of putting lum ber on the free list and of having the duty removed on many other articles. Congress is a largo body , composed of many men of many minds and It takes time and experience to accom plish these things. It stands to rea son that an able man like McCarthy , who has had experience In congress and who stands with the president can accomplish more than a green hand. During the time he has served he has assisted In the establishment of nearly 200 rural mall routes In his district , he has looked after pensions for old soldiers and taken important parts in debates. The reason why Iowa is so strong In congress is be cause that state elects good men nnd keeps them there. Emerson Enter prise. Yes , Mr. McCarthy 1ms always been In favor of putting lumber and other things on the free list in the Third congressional district but outside if lie has ever done anything to further this program It must have been under n bushel measure. Fnnry those tariff protected brigands turning over the fat which has been fried out of their hide to a candidate whom they ques tloned wbeie ho stood. The Enterprise says the congress man from this district has had two hundred rural routes established. Aside from all perquisites of extras , etc. , Mr. McCarthy has received twen ty thousand dollars. This would fig ure up one hundred dollars for each route , pretty good salary. W. N. Huse's Republicanism. Genoa Times : If the Lindsay Opin ion Imagines that it Is strengthening the candidacy of John J. McCarthy by handing out a dirty bunch of sneaking Insinuations against , W. N. Huse of The Norfolk News , It is mistaken. The standing of Mr. HUFO among the newspaper men of the Third congres sional district Is on too solid a founda tion to be undermined by the Opinion or any other slobbering organ of a candidate for congressional honors. When the Opinion questions the repub licanism of Mr. Huso , It probably does so ignorantly. Mr. Huse has assisted In fighting the battles of the repub lican party in Nebraska for nearly thirty years long before the editor of the Opinion was ever heard of in the field of journalism. Four years ago , like several other "dam tool newspa per men , " the Norfolk editor went to the extreme in his zeal to assist in the election of McCarthy , nnd his efforts In that direction were instrumental In bringing on a libel suit for $0,000. In 1894-5 , when many republican papers throughout the state were quoting from "Coin's Financial School" and demanding the free coinage of silver , W. N. Huse was opposing the 1C to 1 Idea. In all the years he has been connected with the press of Nebraska , the editor of The News has supported the nominees of his party without de manding an ofilce in payment for his loyalty. A few years ago nearly every republican editor in the north Platte country had enough confidence In the integrity and ability of Mr. Huso ns a man and his standing in the party , to suggest his name for consideration to the state convention as a candidate for auditor , but he declined to enter the contest for the reason that ho had no desire to go Into politics to the ex tent of becoming a candidate for ofllce. When the Opinion man shall have gained wisdom from experience , ns a publisher , ho will bo less radical In his desire to club out of the party every man who objects to the particular can didate he desires to have nominated. HOSPITAL MATTER. Unjustly Treated. Pierce Call : The many friends of Dr. J. M. Alden learned with regret yesterday that Gov. Mickey has asked for his resignation as superintendent of the insane asylum at Norfolk. It seems that trouble has been brewing nt that institution for a number of months. It ajrears that no camplaint exists ns to the treatment of patients and the governor believes that they have been given good care , but the social relations existing between the superintendent and his assistant have become strained so that they are bare ly upon speaking terms , which neces sarily does not result in the good of the Institution. When simmered down the whole trouble lies In the fact that the superintendent , while held respon sible for everything , IB only superin tendent In name , the subordinates beIng - Ing appointees of the governor or holding the same by some political pull nnd hence feeling their Import ance nnd conducting themselves In an Independent nnd ofttimcs arrogant manner. No business or Institution can bo successfully conducted or main tained with this stnto of affairs. The Call will always believe that Dr. Al den has been unfairly nnd unjustly dealt with. Lincoln Insane Asylum. West Point Democrat : Gov. Mickey discharged Superintendent J. L. Al den and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Nicholson of the Norfolk asylum on Wednesday and appointed Dr. John T. Hayes and Dr. Young , both assist ants at the Lincoln asylum , to take tholr places. The reason given for the removal was cruel treatment of In mates. But It Is reported that the treatment nt Norfolk is far hotter than at Lincoln , and therefore the promo tion of the Lincoln men was ono of Gov. Mickey's political duties. EDITORIAL COMMENTS. No Political Fish. Spencer Advocate : The Norfolk News mentions the fact that nobody Is howling "tainted money" slnco John. D. Rockefeller sent $100,000 to relieve the suffering in Snn Francisco. Per haps , Mr. Huse , it is because there arc no political fish to fry In this deal. No fascination equals that of a clear brained , tender-hearted , lovable wo man. Just as there Is no picture like a beautiful girl. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea makes lovable women , beautiful girls. 3Bc. The Kiosau Drug Co. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.
