ASYLUMS AND POLITICS.
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

Is howling "tainted money" slnco John.
D. Rockefeller sent $100,000 to relieve
the suffering in Snn Francisco. Per

arc no political fish to fry In this deal.
