THE INSANE OF NOVA SCOTIA.

Anioiig the Canadian provinces Nova

Scotia is perhaps the most behind the

-times in its care for the insaiic. \\'c say this although we have frequently had occasion to rciiiarl; upon the neglect of

ouro\\'ii pro\'iiii'c iii that i‘i‘;.r:ird. Ndva

Scotia sonic ycaiiis- iijro adopted what is called the coiiiity plan of caring for clii'oiiiciii.saiie patieiits. _\s we under-

l if

the counties in which they formerly lived

and arc there cared for in thc county aliiis-hoiises anioiig the other poor. The

result is that there are now in ,these in-

,stitntions some ($00 insane, idiotic or ‘ epileptic persons, in addition to about 400

receiving treatment at Mount Hope. This

, makes the rather astonishing total of 1,000 persons of unsound mind in Nova Scotia.

Dr. Sinclair, we are told, visited last

year and the year before, all the county institutions in which insane paupeis are

cared for and in the glimpses given by the

Presbyterian l/Vitness of his report we are quite astonished at the conditions exist-

ing, Here is an extract :

“As a rule, to which, happily, there are

a few exceptions, these institutions must be regarded as somewhat of a disgrace to the State. 'l`he Supcrintendcnts are farmers, and have the care of the farm on 1 which the house is situated, and have no special qualifications as custodians of the insane; and, asa consequence of the al- most total lack of attendants in the alms- houses, it is the rule to employ the most primitive modes of mechanical restraint. Handcuffs, fetters and muffs are freely used, and in one instance the Secretary saw a negro imbecile, with an iron ring around his foot, chained to a. tree. Very naturally the superintendent of an alms- house is unwilling to leave a nianiacal patient unrestrained and go to some dis- tant part of the farm. So long as acute or violent eases are sent to, or retained in a county institution, just so long will mechanical restraints be employed." _

The \Vitness further says: -Dr. Sinclair

gives some hideous pictures, and adds: “I tell you w e have come perilously near furnising duplicates of such pictures oi man`s inhumanity to man I" This implies that there have been other and further revelations than those above quoted. THE- » GUARDIAN was not heretofore aware that

such neglects and cruelties toward the

insane were perpetrated or permitted in

clair puts the case very mildly, when he says that the county care of the insane in

Nova Scotia “must be regarded as some- what of a. disgrace tothe State." It would

seem that in the work of reforming our own Insane Hospital and methods of care

and cure we ought to look for light to some quarter more advanced than Nova. Scotia..

XV. T. Stead publishesa paper entitled

\Var Against \Va.r in South Africa, in which with frantic earnestn ess he calls

for stopping the war and making payment of damages to Kruger and Steyn for the injury done them. Copies of this publico, tion are being sent broadcast through the British Empire and the United States.

Tun GU_xR.n1AN receives it regularly, though not in exchange, and we notice tliat it is occasionally quoted by pro-Boer

papers in the United states. On reading Mr. Stead’s paper one is inclined to inquire

whether the lunatic asylums in England are so full that there is not room for ano- ther: patient. He was once thought to be a clever writer, but sccnis to have utterly lost his mental balance.

Ex-Governor Howlan, who has long been I

an Imperial Federationisti, has been elect- ed Vicc President of the Cauiadian Branch

of the Iniperial Federation League.

Cronjc is on his way to St. Helena, for

safe-keeiiiiig. Once in Napolcoifs famous i

prison island he will not easily escape, ‘as

hc miglit possibly do if left at Cape Town. A Of course he willnot be l~:ept» there longer ` than till the close of the war.

\Vliat is now the Orange Free State

country was formally taken possession off by the British in 1848, and the British flag floated over it until 1854, when Britain rc- linquishcd her authority there. Lord Roberts has now] restored t-he old flag to Bloeinfontein after 46 years, and we trust it is there this time to stay.

It is a maceful act of the Government of New South Wales to make St. Patricks _

Day a. holiday in lionorof the brave Irish soldiers who have fought so gallantly and and suffered so much in South Africa. St.

George’s and St. Andrews' days ought to be similarly honored in memory of equally brave and enduring Scottish soldiers.

Here it has been the custom to give a _ civic half holidayat the time of the Calcdon ian sports. \Vhy not now follow the e x- ample of New South ‘Wales and honor St. 1

Patricks’ Day for the same purpose? Not i

es tell that he is now out of danger. Dur- I ing the several siegcs, there has been all eager desire on the part ol the Boersl to make prisoners of three men, two of whom have already escaped them. These ,

were Dr. Jameson in Ladysmith, Cecil

Rhodes in Kimberly and Lord Cecil, sen ol' the British Premier, in Mafeking.

"A statl’ ofiiccr of engineers told Gen-

The work was finished in:a. week. It is this tireless, exacting energy of Kitchener's that is putting England'e work through in South Africa.”
