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.

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.
The despatches show that Col. Pluiiier,

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 Trait of Kitchener. .

“Letter-e :'cc<‘iveil from of’i'iccr_~' at Cape

husines.s.` .~;ay.~; thc 'l`ribune's London cor-

"A statl’ ofiiccr of engineers told Gen-
eral Roberts that he could do certain work
assigned to him in the course of a fort-
night. ‘I ani sure,` said General Roberts,
‘that you will do as well as you ean’.
» “General Kitchener `asked the same
I oflicer how much time he would require to
do the _job.‘A fortnight,’ was the answer
Kitchener smiled grimly. ‘Either you will
do it in awveekj he fsaid, for you will
be sent home.' 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.”
